I weighed myself and a couple more pounds has come off. That's fantastic. When weighing in at the doctor's office this week, I so hope to be 40 pounds lighter than I was a year ago. I have my questions to ask the APRN when I have my next Endocrinology appointment. We'll go over my scan, the blood work and listen to the pat answers that are in his box of safe things to share. I'm not suppose to challenge the GOLD STANDARD they use knowing that there is more to this than meets the eye.
If it hadn't been that I read about thyroid issues on my own from different resources, I'd be a bigger mess than I already am. I sit and listen as the specialist tells me what I knew they'd tell me. I have some new questions that I will ask. I don't argue or challenge their stories. I simply listen and ask questions without saying, "Well so and so says this and so 'n so says that. What do you think of that?"
I'm not missing the soda or coffee. PTL. I did read an article about flavored waters. Looks easy enough. It will taste wonderful and who doesn't need wonderful these days? Will fix some.
Drank organic Tomato Juice for Brunch and had an late Lunch with Spaghetti Squash topped with all vegetable Marinara sauce. Supper is 3 Bean Salad with Kalamata Olives and Snack will be unbuttered Popcorn.

Don't forget vitamins and supplements taken every day. Vitamin B6, Sublinqual liquid B12, Liposamal C, D3, Zinc, Garlic, Ubiquinol Co-Q10, Ceylon Cinnamon, Apple Cider Vinegar, Beet Root...what else?
Eating as much organic foods as I can and ignoring highly processed stuff. More vegetables/fruits and telling myself, "SELF, I like these veggies and fruits. No joke." So much better for humans.
No high fructose corn syrup. Watching the growth hormones. Spring water.
Shampooing my hair today. A load of laundry will go in. Bills looked over. Will take a slow drive later and marvel at the prairie landscape. AUTUMN is showing her changing colors in the trees along the way to TOPEKA. There's still lush greens across the horizon where sunflowers continue to be in bloom. So very pleasant to see nature grazing in the fields. Peaceful.
Hubby is still digging up our Irises. Praying he gets this task completed before October starts. He planted 156 Irises over at the COTTAGE yesterday in the cool of the morning. This week, he hopefully will finish this landscaping task. Praying they bloom profusely next Spring. Digging up and relocating the Irises is round one for us in our downsizing adventure as we make plans to migrate to the COTTAGE in 2022.
First, new large flowerbeds were created at the COTTAGE, the Irises are being relocated and planted as I gather up items to turn loose of that are around here. We have gotten rid of a stove, 2 mattresses/box springs, clothing, an old Helmers wood chest, swivel chair on wheels, a Victorian Dresser, dishwasher, metal credenza, books, magazines, glassware, a couple of Christmas trees, bedding, exercise bike, 2 desks, childhood furniture, nic-nacs, slate tiles that came off the roof of this house, 2 cars, and odds 'n ins. More to go. Let it go. It can be freeing. AMEN. I should be rejoicing that this stuff is gone. Our estate has grown over the years.
Now we're downsizing. DOWNSIZING.......AIN'T IT GREAT?
MORE to gather and let go. Gathering items is an ongoing thing then continue to gut the COTTAGE bathroom changing it into a better room to use. Some plumbing is needed as we have changed where the toilet sits and the vanity goes. This will take a few months to complete. Old floor ripped up, walls cleared off, plumbing changed, walls tiled, floors tiled, fixtures bought, installed, ceiling redone, different light fixture bought and installed, beaded board installed, painted, trim sanded, primed and some painting done. I suspect cooler weather will come as we work on this. Then the HOLIDAYS. 2022 will not be far behind.
Blessings to you.
