Great goals!

Remember, audiobooks count and you can listen while hiking! Exercise and reading at the same time, 2 birds, 1 stone.

I've been told to listen to my anger. If I'm angry, one of my boundaries has been stomped on somewhere.

Again what is flylady and I'm sorry I'm just noticing this now.

Sounds like you did a lot of purging.

Honestly chatgpt said lowering saturated fat intake does more to lower cholesterol than lowering your cholesterol

Origami are so cool.

Hinge totally sounds like a dating app, but it sounds like you kept up.

Keep up the good work!

Yes, I mean, lowering LDL. By consuming more HDL foods and less LDL foods. I have a whole list of LDLdecreasing, HDL increasing foods, as well as triglyceride lowering and VLDL lowering. Ideally, like all of my doctors including therapist have suggested, this would include fish multiple times a week. Salmon, they say. But the types of fish I like are: canned tuna with mayo, and fish sticks. Which, according to medical professionals, don't count. Unless I use the tiniest blob of mayo, which means sad tuna. And, fish sticks are the chicken nugget of the sea and, while my son practically lives off nuggets, they are far from ideal.

I have sent in 2 very large bags of clothes, and filled 3. The bags like 3ft by 3ft square. I have thrown away so much stuff from the kitchen, and the bathroom. Hundreds of D's empty beer cans I've put into bags for recycling.

I think Hinge IS a dating app? This app is "Hinge Health" and deals with joint pain. Get it joints move like hinges. Unfortunate to be named so similar to a dating app though.

Honestly I do fish oil pills to make up for not eating fish. two pills a day, they're huge. As much as you can fit in your pill tray is good as long as they're filtered for mercury. Might not do much but it shouldn't hurt.

All of the purgeeeee. I used to collect beer bottles, but rarely wanted more than one of any beer. They're around my mirror in Sag Harbor.

That's actually a cool app idea.

Oh yeah I've been taking fish oil pills for years lol. I take 5 a day. Although my dietician sent me links to higher potency pills, which I'll try once I'm done with the big Costco bottle.

D doesn't collect beer bottles or cans, and he drinks cheap beer. So it's nothing worth saving. He just doesn't throw them away.
