I decided to have a whole wheat bagel for breakfast 6 points our bagels forever is a local bagel shop. And I found neufcatel cheese and get 3 points get 1.5 tablespoons on each half. My adult trickle now has a lock for it. I keep it inside right now. But I have a putp, helmet and lock for it. I bought the lock yesterday with Scott at Target. I ghostwrited for my infusion in the morning that I go to every other Friday. I can only go to WW once a month because I go Frdays every other Frodau t o get the infusion. However I will go next week. I like the meeting on Fridays. I just have to go every month at least once to track for free.. then I have 2 cans in 4 meals of lentil soup. and that is 12 points. So I get 23 points. I am starting today. I take a thermos to my infusion to have. I have an insurance that pays for 14 soups a week. ia m sending a check to get help in my home 90 minutes a week. I am hoping to start the treadmill and or tv walking later today. I am toying with sending back the total gym. however I may keep it since I can deposit some money to make a payment this month since I have been able to save some money.

I got everything back. I did change my credit Union card however just to make sure. Luckily I had a old cell phone that Spectrum put my number in. But my other phone I found they took the number out. I have the money to pay a payment this month for the total gym which comes Monday. I have 11 more months to pay it off at a reasonable rate. I decided to keep it but need help learning how to use it. I have a treadmill but this would allow me to slowly build up and I get a lot of videos and chart too. I don't want to send it back. But I think if I eat what I can afford and get help fr5om 2 sources insurance and snap for medical expenses I will be okay. I did not have to pay for shipping. and I decided to pay the 9.38 sales tax with the payment this month on the total gym. I think if get a physical therapist to come to my home that I know they can help me with the total gym. Scott will be mad but it folds together and stands up. I can probably not ride my bike with our weather till next year ,. But I will and if my case manager can ride her bike with me it would be great.

Hello! So I had a really good week with my diet, after being so out of control for the two previous weeks. I most of the weight gain off. And woohooo! I finally got my fanny outside for a walk! 45 minutes on the towpath after a spinning class at the gym. Finding out how several of my high school classmates are struggling with the health really cam home to me. Now that my is replaced and doing great, my only health issue now is my weight. Which I can actually DO something about! So I'm getting serious about cleaning up my diet and getting consistent about exercise.
Amy, I'm glad the lidociane shots are working for you! Enjoy getting used to your home gym, lifting weights is so important as we age!

Good morning! I went to the gym last night and again this morning, yay!
Amy, sorry about the home gym. My knee replacement was life changing BUT you absolutely have to do all the PT and work through the discomfort to get good results.

I walked to my credit union with Scott after I met him at mcDonalds it is down the street from them. ( bought a printer for my laptop. I hope to apply to medical assistant for a one year program that DVR will pay starting in fall. my helper at the technical college said I have to apply next spring but I do not think so. I will see if I can do i9t Friday before I take to my DVR counselor He called while Alex was here and she said she would update him. We will ride my adult trike to the park soon with Alex with her bike. Know have a lock and helmet and I can go with Alex. I keep the tricycle in my living room just before the hallway to the door. I bought a printer that would go with windows 11 for my laptop if I want to print with it. when I go for the lidocaine I talked to a nurse that said she had been trained as a medical assistant and did that work while she became a trained nurse. I am not sure what will happen so I want the training but don't want loans,
