Daily Food Diary – Day 289 of 365

Today is Day 289 of my Daily Food Diary! 💝

This morning I went for a walk with Dan & Molly.  Since Dan was taking the leash, I didn’t bother switching Molly to her pinch collar.  As usual when Dan takes the leash, she was perfectly well behaved.   No trying to leap into random vehicles, no trying to chase FedEx trucks, not even a yip when she passed barking dogs.   🙄

Yesterday, Dan turned up our forced air furnace.  Since it sits idle, collecting months of dust and dog hair, turning up the furnace is a bit of an ordeal.  He covers the vents and then vacuums each vent for a full cycle before moving on to the next.  We did have ‘experts’ come in a couple of times, but honestly this works just as well in our little house and is less of a hassle (at least Molly wise).

This morning, I cleaned the filters for our air purifiers and we are ready to go.

Yesterday morning, I did my aerobics.  Last night, I did a full thirty minutes on our treadmill.  I had zero incline, but did up the speed to level five for three (three minute) rounds.   Today I am doing aerobics and thirty minutes of light weights and cardio.  I am pumped about upping the weights to eight pounders.   I know I am more than ready. 💪

Still no word on when I will be called in for my hernia surgery, but I am hoping it won’t be until after Christmas.  The surgeon wants me under general anesthesia to do it, so I want to be in the best possible shape. 

Now that the Prednisone is obviously out of my system,  and I am moving forward once again, the last thing I want is another drug induced setback.  😋

  1. It’s great that Dan knows how to take care of your heating system, Anne! I’ve had the furnace on a few times recently. The bowl of stones is a bowl of positivity! Have a dandy weekend, guys. 😎🇨🇦

  7. Agreed, forced air can be dirty with its dust and stuff collecting in the ducting. I have forced air, the ducting is in good shape at the moment. About 4 years ago I had to replace the entire heating/cooling system, the old one was 25 years old. That set me back $12,500 bucks!

  13. I think so! I also had the family Bible which I passed on to my daughter and she has passed on to my sister’s daughter. It includes pages of family history and the like so it would be important to my parents to see it being passed down through generations.
