Track the Water

My hydrate water bottle tracks my intake!
Since October, I've been trying to eat more vegetables and drink more water.  I have not been doing a good job on either. So I purchased a techie water bottle.  Each of the eight lights on the top light up as I drink 8 fluid ounces.  I started using it yesterday and today I noticed it reset itself in the middle of the day - so I read the directions!

I learned that I had to change the setting from noon - when I started using it to either the beginning or end of the day to prevent it from resetting again.  Hopefully, that's all I need to do, except, keep it with me, filled with water, and use it!

I also made it to the YMCA for a short workout.  I went 1 mile on the AMT.  It took me less than 15 minutes...but not the less than 11 minutes that I used to do prior to surgery last year.  I don't want to over do it.  So I'm going to work up to more time.

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
