Howdy Mary,
Well, the first thing I'm curious about is what type of roadkill did you have today or did you eat another cute innocent octopus?
I'm probably mistaken, but I thought you once told me that the octopus tasted like steak. Is that right or not? On Thanksgiving, I'm going to a restaurant and they serve octopus. I thought about ordering it and giving it a try, but I just don't think I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Falling is my specialty. I am replacing a lot of cement in my yard and this morning I fell over some of the broken up concrete. One of the concrete men said he was impressed the way I fell. I've fallen thousands of times. 13,300+ from seizures and several thousand more falls of every description.
I have been very fortunate, I have only broken a wrist and that's my own stupidity for walking backwards & falling over my lawnmower.

I walked 5,375 steps today. Thats probably just a warm up for some members but impressive for me. The other day I went to Costco and walked a mile. I have started parking at the farthest end of the parking lots and I always take my cart back to the store. Not quite ready for a marathon but making progress.

p.s.
If you're still only eating one cookie a day, I found a pizza parlor that makes cookies on the small pizza pans. But I convinced them to make me a medium sized one. Just waiting to get the XL one.
Take care kids,
Jake

Hi,
I walk a minimum of 5000 steps daily..that’s the realistic goal I set for myself. I get a blue sneaker award on my watch when that happens. But I am out about 6:30 most days and do between 1 1/2 to 2 miles and the gym classes help. We have the weather for year round walking but the humid season is tough. And I also park far away. Every organ in your body will love you for walking. This country is too sedentary.
Haven’t had a good octopus in ages. The best tasting is from Portugal or Spain. If you are adventurous one day, try it as an appetizer and ask if they know where it is from. There is a difference. Yeah, a good one is like steak…meaty. A good restaurant will take it back if you hate it. Better yet, go with an octopus loving friend.
I tripped over something about 6 months ago and did a number on my knee when I hit the concrete driveway. Literally bloody awful and a helpless feeling when you can’t stop yourself from falling as you well know.
We are having family for Thanksgiving at our place and am hoping for sweater weather. My daughter cooks and everyone brings sides…I am the mashed potatoes person.
I’m eating more veggies lately…but even those are getting so expensive. I love to throw everything in the oven coated with EVO and roast away. Eating normal foods except steak and I love sardines and beets but glad you reminded me about octopus. We all love a good sushi place and I occasionally pick some up for lunch. I’ll try anything.
So glad to hear from you…keep on trekking and try not to fall. That’s always a concern for me and I credit my gym classes for the balance I have. I am so careful about walking.
Take care everyone and enjoy the holidays.
