by the way, the Jersey Boy over here did beef stew in the Instant Pot. I didn't have any because I wasn't into meat that day or the next day, but it really looked and smelled great! I'll get to using it here eventually.
Still giving that thing the stink eye like somebody put a bomb in the kitchen!

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.
Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.
Good news for me! Since I'm putting parts of my life on this thread. Checked in with the cardio today. No blood pressure meds for me! None! Nada!
I also think I lost a couple more pounds. Treated myself to a new scale on the way home! Will find out in the morning and report back here tomorrow whether anyone gives two craps or not!
I'm so happy with the cardio outcomes!!!!!

Just bumping up this thread so folks don't forget it's here. I've been SO sick for over a week now so I haven't done anything that resembles exercise AT ALL. Just now starting to get my strength back. I went to the store yesterday and realized I shouldn't have gone out driving alone because I was getting dizzy in the store. Geez!!!
One good thing, is that I HAVE stayed at the 9 pound weight loss so I'm feeling pretty good about that!
The weather has been so beautiful here (me stuck inside like a pass out drunk most of the time) and I can't wait to feel better and get back in action!!
How's everyone else doing, huh?

Good for you Jersey. I'm treading water. It's partly the cold and partly being busy with my folks. Other than that, I've been doing much more gentle self care: R & R. In other words, Reading and Reading.
But I've got a good small gym at a community center within walking distance and I will hit the hiking trails as soon as spring gets here (or sooner if I can borrow snow shoes).
From the Ernest L. Wilkinson Diaries: "ELW dreams he's spattered w/ grease. Hundreds steal his greasy pants."
Sounds like you have a good plan in place! I tried to set myself up for winter success but I surely fell short. I certainly understand staying tucked inside with a good book! I keep clinging to the fact that I maintained the weight loss so there's that. Eleven more pounds to go and I'm there!
I can't wait to feel well again so I can get moving! Slow process over here!
