Good morning and Happy Wednesday SW 🌞☕☕☕

@JoyfulSilence That's beautiful 😍

@Musicman

Battle Creek Cypress Swamp in Calvert County, Maryland. Right near the Patuxent Estuary.

@JoyfulSilence How is your vacation going? Are you alright?

@Musicman

It is surreal. And I am running out of things to do and places to eat, LOL!

Yesterday I went to a mountaintop in Pennsylvania, northwest of Hagerstown and west of Chambersburg.

I tried to drive on a narrow gravel road on the side of a mountain but gave up after about a mile since my car was scraping the road crown (between ruts) and branches were getting mixed up with my wheels. Obviously designed for higher-clearance vehicles! Once I threw in the towel I still had to go a little more until I found a place wide enough to turn around!

@JoyfulSilence Running out of places to eat! 😭😭😭 Now that should be illegal. I suggest going to a different town and just randomly picking a place.

Some of those mountain roads are definitely not meant for cars. Have you considered going south into Virginia or beyond? Pack a bag and stay the night somewhere. Williamsburg is a fabulous place to visit. You definitely can't see it all in a day and last time I noticed they boasted having over 400 restaurants.

@Musicman

I may have to cross the river someday. I used to live over there back in the 00's. Also, I went to UVa for grad school (but did not have a car in school).

I rotate the restaurants. Also, I am eating smaller meals, since I am gaining weight again. For example, today I am at McDonald's which is a smaller meal than a full-service place.

@JoyfulSilence Sadly I understand the smaller meals. We rejoined Weight Watchers. So far I have lost 12 pounds.

@Musicman

Good work on the weight.

I started a habit of skipping lunch at work and taking a walk outside around the complex. I think it helped.

@JoyfulSilence It definitely does. I have also made either breakfast or lunch my main meal of the day. A lot of times for dinner I just have a cup of yogurt and add blueberries to it.

@Musicman

I try to eat cereal for dinner for the fiber. But sometimes I just munch on shredded wheat like they are crackers!

@JoyfulSilence How does that affect your blood sugar?

@Musicman

I do not know since I rarely check it anymore.

My A1C dropped.

@JoyfulSilence That's fabulous! What is it down to now? I get mine checked next week. I was at 6.1

@Musicman

I went from 6.7 to 6.1!

@JoyfulSilence That's fabulous!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
