been walking with my daughter the last few weeks… on the phone, lol…

this is encouraging me to get up and out for a stroll… everyday I have gone a bit further and have enjoyed our time together….

it is nice to have a companion and there is no worry about physical distancing…

here are a few photos I’ve taken as we walked…

got this shot of the elementary school that the girls went to many years ago, lol…

great way to start the day – exercise and check-in;-)…

yesterday we walked a bit longer and I went as far as the Park… the English Garden doesn’t open until 9 now, due to Covid-19, and we walk at about 7:15, so that’s too bad, lol… it felt good to get to the Park as I hadn’t been there yet this year and I sure do miss it…

I am finding that I am less nervous the more that I get out and walk, although I am very careful to step to the side if someone is coming towards me…

calls…

this morning I got a phone call from “Manitoba Hydro” advising that my power was going to be shut off in thirty minutes and then suggested I push a button and speak with someone about my unpaid account…

I hung up as my payments are taken out of my bank automatically… but it still made me nervous… I went to Hydro’s website and read their notification that scams are currently happening… made me feel much better… I also reported the call…

last week I had a call about someone using my social security number… again, I hung up…

usually if I pick up the phone and don’t hear someone right away I hang up… then there is no stress, lol…

should have done that for these two calls;-)…

last week I went and had blood work done for my doctor’s appointment yesterday…

people comment on how well I am staying on track with my diet and that I am looking great…

I am careful out of fear… fear that my sugars will go up and I will need drugs to manage my diabetes… I don’t want that and the fear makes me be good, lol… 

now, when I taste something I don’t like, I don’t finish it… I’d rather save the calories for something I enjoy… I have an app on my phone (MyFitnessPal) that connects with my Fitbit and helps me keep track of daily calorie intake… 

but I am always nervous about what the results will be when I attend the appointment…

excellent news yesterday… blood sugars are great… blood pressure is fine…

cholesterol has come down significantly with the very small dose of medication that I started on three months ago, and with no side effects… the doctor was surprised as he thought I would need double the dose to get this type of result…

early on he’d talked about my weight coming down by another 20 pounds from where I am now… yesterday he agreed that I should stay at my current weight… when you are 75, he says, it is nearly impossible to lose weight, so he doesn’t want me to gain anything over the next ten years…

this was a great relief because I’ve been stuck around 160 for ages and really don’t think my body had any plans to go any lower…

all in all, an excellent appointment…

on Saturday I picked up these new shorts… 

  
the ones from last summer aren’t going to fit this year…

and I will need them for our trip to New York City for a weekend mid April…

not exactly sure what the temperature will be but want to be prepared…

I’m going with my two daughters and one of their friends… looking forward to it…

have been looking through websites, Pinterest, and talking with people who’ve been…

we will be going early on a Friday and returning home late on the Monday… not too long but we are planning to see lots while we are there… 

everyone I’ve talked with has said it is wonderful… been a bit nervous because I’m not very good in crowds and am worried that there will be tons of people everywhere…

I’m looking forward to dinner at a great restaurant, maybe seeing some cherry trees in bloom and walking in Central Park…

early in the winter I bought a new pair of ECCO sandals and will be happy to break them in on this trip… for a number of years my feel hurt all the time but once I started wearing these shoes they have been pain free…

  
all winter I wear my sandals at work… people laugh when they see me with bare toes but I can still remember the pain that I was in constantly before… these are the only shoes for me now… I can walk forever…

yesterday was three years since my cancer surgery…

today I had my regular six-month check-up… which I will have until five years have gone by… the chances of the cancer reoccurring are basically nil as the doctor pointed out today, but I was still nervous…

  
usually my daughter comes with me but she wasn’t able to today… didn’t even want to be in the building so soon after my friends’ deaths… and it isn’t CancerCare’s fault… they did everything they possibly could…

everything went well and I am fine… back to the office in record time…

  
combined the homemade pesto with whole wheat pita bread and Brie for a great pizza, with a veggie salad for my supper… doing much better with whole wheat items, particularly if there are strong flavours with them…

I had a few pieces of Lindt Orange Intense Dark Chocolate as a treat… don’t tell my BS friends… this was supposed to be their treat from my Ottawa trip, lol… I’m sure I can save the rest of it…
