Good morning. How is everyone doing this morning? Fortunately, we're still here after dodging Hurricane Ian this past week. Although I feel very sorry, and concerned for those that did get hit, I'm so very grateful that we did not end up in the direct path, as originally forecast. I just read this morning that there have been 66 deaths related to the storm - some in Florida and some in the Carolinas. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones, along with property.
Because we didn't get hit so hard, my area is beginning to get back to "normal", which is good. We did go to the grocery store yesterday and there are a lot of empty shelves. That was beginning to happen prior to the storm and it's even worse now.
We did our "storm cleanup" yesterday - which consisted of picking of downed branches and palm fronds and hauling them away to disposal. Husband also repaired the roof in a corner of my woodworking shop. I'd noticed it flapping the wind the other day when I was working out there.
I'm still trying to watch my food intake - not doing too well, though as I've had a great taste for pasta, lately. That's not helping my weight situation, for sure!! I had blood work done on Tuesday before the storm hit. My glucose levels were high again, as was my triglyceride level. This puts me back into the "Metabolic Syndrome" category, so I'm not sure what my doctor is going to advise (other than stop eating and get more exercise!!). I see him on the 10th, so we'll see.
My "winter neighbors" will be back tomorrow. We'll pick them up at the airport. We'll start walking again, probably on Wednesday. Although it may not help my weight a lot, it should help my muscle tone, etc. Hopefully, once I get back into the habit of walking almost daily, I'll be able to keep it up when my neighbor goes back to OR in Dec.
Anyway, my weight has fluctuated over the week, but it's staying pretty steady. I haven't weighed this morning, but will report later.
I hope everyone has been able to meet their goals for the week.
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful successful week~~
