@imallears, Hi, Mary, I am glad to learn you live farther away from where the convention will be held! Interesting that you mentioned that eating more than usual complex carbs seems to lower your energy. I am still badly needing to gain weight after an undiagnosed 30 lb loss over several months so am eating more high calorie laden foods. Think I will reduce those for a week or two and see if that improves and extends my daily energy. I've long felt best in the mornings and plan most physical effforts/activities before noon.

i agree that frequent movement and working to keep our spirits up is important to our quality of life, even more so now that many of us are still staying home more than in the past.
