Got up at 8am to read the paper and take a shower. 2 cups of coffee and ate some left over chicken and a pear, because it needed to be eaten and I was a bit late for my 10am appointment.
lunch at 1130, bowl of spinach and lentil soup was very good it also had brocolli in it, yummy! Stopped to have a couple extra cups of coffee later in the day. Saw 3 clients today, easy day.
For dinner jeff and I split a very thin crust supreme pizza, about 500 calories total for me. A couple of slices of sharp raw cheddar cheese. then a green peach cranberry juice smoothie. 7 veggies and fruits for the day.

last night I went with my girlfriend to a support group meeting called connections. Run thru NAMI.
there were 20 of us there and spoke just briefly about myself, did not want to say much really just there to watch to see how it was run. My girl friend did not say much either. They used a timer to limit what you said it took 75 minutes to get all of the way around the room, then I had to go baby sit for my girl friends daughter.
I just decided that I am going to the gym because I am going to see 50 shades of gray tomorrow with a friend.
thanks for your support and for reading my post.

I went to the gym and used a new machine to me. It is called an arc trainer. like an eliptical(which I tried but bothered my knees) but with as much incline as you want. I was at 0 incline and it worked my thighs. the staff said it was more like a stair master. I went for an hour and it was indeed a greater work out than the tred mill. My heart rate was around 140 bpm. IT said I burned 500 calories in an hour...don't know that I believe that or not. The only bad thing is that my right big toe joint (injured a year ago)started bothering me if I was not careful with it.
I want to eventually be able to jog a 10k. (Last year i mostly walked the 10k but jogged the last mile or so) I made an appointment to see the trainer anna on wednesday night at 7pm...I will talk to her about what is best.

Bizi,
That is a great day.

The Connections/Nami thing was cool. And it is outside of the kind of thing that you normally do. Did you feel brave?

Good work out at the gym. You are accomplishing a lot.

Thanks Mari!
Many years ago I used to lead a support group called bridges.It was hard to not judge the faciltor who led the group. we were suppose to limit our check ins to 2 minutes so we shoule have been thru the entire group in 40 minutes to have more time to share more in depth. but that was not the case. That was almost too big of a meeting which just goes to show the need for such meetings/ support groups and probably could have 2, wonder if they need another facilitator? Some thing to think about....

that is a great thing if there are enough people for two groups.
I would say ask them if they would like to have another group.

Just even thinking of all the new people that might keep coming
along.

My sister and her husband are good about doing these things.
Nami is big for My sisters and one husband. And my mom when
she can attend.

Can't remember if I told you that my pdoc would not keep me on as a patient unless she wrote my scripts for me. She said she would be available for consult if needed so that is good.
I see my new Osteopathic Doctor every 4 months for a med/mood check. then again for a wellness exam in december.
life is good.

I can see that.

He is gorgeous. And I heard that the production was even more gorgeous -- beautiful sets, . .great production values . . . .
It is weird to remember when Dakota Johnson's two parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, were together.

And OMG have you heard him speak in his native Irish accent:
