On MD, Mr Jim and some others mentioned they used a helpful internet website (now app) for tracking meals, calories. i’ve been using the FREE version regularly this year.temporal1 wrote:Thanksgiving Day.![]()

i had a diabetes check yesterday, my doctor is happy!![]()
A1c = 7.5, i’m down 16 pounds since last year. next appt in 4 months.
walking has made the difference.
i’m not sure about winter weather, but i’m preparing to walk whenever possible. so far, i’ve walked in wind+rain, sometimes sustained winds of 40+ mph. not a blast, but i’ve done it.![]()
not sure about snow+ice. snow is possible, ice is a deal breaker. below zero temps, probably not, esp if windy. i’ll have to judge day by day.
several weeks of this, then spring.![]()
doctor warned the virus is “all over” the county, to be careful. walking is good.
i’m not out a lot. i wear a mask, wash hands, keep a distance.
and pray.

i’m hopeful for this thread to be about helpful websites, apps, reports, gadgets, personal experiences, recipes, foods, etc.; choices we can make to help our physical bodies.
how mental/physical obstacles are met. or not.

i’m slow to learn, but, “i feel like” i’m finally “getting the knack” of what i need to do overall:
diet, exercise, meds, sleep. stress.
it’s not 1 thing.
it’s a myriad of “small things” on a regular basis. (underlined “myriad!”)

On a recent walk, a neighbor stopped to chat. i believe she’s younger, but can’t walk due to joint problems. My mother suffered with this. The pain involved.
