Well, with Bella safe and secure in her new home with an energetic 20+ year old instead of two fat 74 year olds, I can relax some and let go of that worry. I had Bella get every shot available so hiking will be no problem for her at all.

Today, with no showing appointments yet, I can get my sheets done. I think everyone in the area has seen out house. I have to pack for my overnight stay in the hospital. Tuesday we review the offers on the house, there are at least two, lol. But the agent said a lot more will come in. And life goes on.

I'm concerned for you , Tuesday you may be in considerable pain, and not really in the position to make important decisions on the offers on the house...:oops:
 
The birdies woke me up at 4:30,but I was able to go back to sleep until 6
On my early walk at 6:20, I walked around our community garden circle twice before I watered the plants in the garden it was refreshingly cool temp was 65 with no wind
This morning walking to/from my church{6 blocks} for our 1 service at 10:30.Today I'll be interested to see how many people show up,next Sun is last for our minister,Tom who is retiring.Its unfortunate next Sun is also the running of annual Buffalo Marathon,it always causes problems for members who live in the suburbs,with all the detours
The rest of my day,read local paper,take afternoon walk,have my weekly family 'zoom meeting' at 4
 
Talked to my neighbors and if the buyers of my house don’t want the sofa and room divider they will take them. A big relief for me since they won’t fit into the apartment and both are in great condition, only a year old. Also we will have an extra tv that they can have. Things are looking better, thank goodness.
 
Shopping for an extended hedge trimmer. The one I was using split in half while I was trimming some overhead branches & I jumped out of the way before it trimmed me. Piece of junk. The company (Greenworks) replaced a previous model when it also split in half after a few months.
 
I am at 23 hours into fasting. I am going to go at least 48 hours...hopefully to 36 hours. Sounds stupid right? Here is what happens to our bodies while fasting.

1. The fed state occurs within the first few hours after eating. During this state, your blood sugar and insulin levels increase, while levels of other hormones, including leptin and ghrelin, shift.

2. A few hours after eating, your body transitions into the early fasting state, which occurs when glycogen, amino acids, and fatty acids are converted into energy.

3. The fasting state lasts from about 18 hours to 2 days of fasting. At some point during this state, your body enters ketosis, a metabolic state in which fats are broken down and used as an energy source.

4. The long-term fasting state, or starvation state, occurs around 48 hours into fasting. During this period, insulin levels decrease, ketone levels increase, and protein breakdown is reduced to conserve muscle tissue.

Here are the benefits

1. When you fast, insulin levels drop and human growth hormone (HGH) increases. Your cells also initiate important cellular repair processes and change which genes they express.

2. Intermittent fasting helps you eat fewer calories while boosting metabolism slightly. It’s a very effective tool to lose weight and visceral fat.

3. Intermittent fasting can reduce insulin resistance and lower blood sugar levels, at least in men.

4. Studies show that intermittent fasting can reduce oxidative damage and inflammation in the body. This should have benefits against aging and development of numerous diseases.

5. Studies show that intermittent fasting can improve numerous risk factors for heart disease, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers.

6. Fasting triggers a metabolic pathway called autophagy, which removes waste material from cells.

7. Intermittent fasting has been shown to help prevent cancer in animal studies and some human studies. Research in humans showed that it can help reduce side effects caused by chemotherapy.

8. Intermittent fasting may have important benefits for brain health. It may increase growth of new neurons and protect the brain from damage.

9. Studies in animals suggest that intermittent fasting may be protective against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

10. Intermittent fasting may help you live longer, according to studies in animals.

Is it a different rhythm than other treadmills or have you not used a treadmill before?

My biggest problem with treadmills has always been the noise - trying to hear a TV or headphones over that noise is nearly impossible unless the sound is turned all the way up.
 
Done nothing of any worth today..cleaned the outside door canopy after days of rain.. .. it's forecast to rain all week on and off so it'll get dirty again...

Few usual chores...

Had 5 minutes on the Treadmill at 2mph..blimey, I only used up 5 calories it said....:oops:...just going to have another 5 minutes again in a minute

it's a different rhythm you got it... so it seems somehow like I'm walking with my knees slightly bent... , and I feel the handles don't come out long enough so I can stand back a little more, and with a very straight back ..

This treadmill is fairly silent so I could watch tv or Ipad while I'm on it without any problems
 
Yesterday's party (#4008 on this thread) was a roaring success. The bagel bar buffet was a hit. Since all the work was in the prep I was able to enjoy our company rather than being tied to the kitchen.

We laughed, reminisced, caught up, and reinforced the ties that bind our family to those friends. In keeping with tradition, I sent everyone home with a bag of biscotti.

All three of our kids plus the grands came yesterday, we have lots of leftovers, a clean house, and a relaxing day on the slate today. Great recipe for a nice Father's Day.
