Shel - I'm sorry about your friend. I don't know the name. Was she on here frequently?

Did not do what was planned. In too much pain. Not sure what's going on, but my pain levels have really risen. Contacted doctor and he has no suggestions as of yet. IT is my allergies to medicines that is creating a massive problems for him, the rheumotologist and the neurologist.

Taking it as easy as I can.

I worked, posted on here via my iPhone, did some researching on HAs and other related products. I probably won't get any whizbang package, but I just like to know what's out there. That's it.

Took some weight off...my head. Got my hair chopped off. It was past my shoulders and now it's in layers about a inch long all around. Wish it was that easy to take the weight off around my belly.

Maybe 200 crunches a day might improve it? Doesn't Shel do a bunch of crunches a day?

Crunches will improve the muscle under the fat, but it won't do anything to get rid of a pouch. Lipo, weight loss, or acceptance are your options (i like the latter).

Not exactly true. A) Crunches burn calories which can reduce fat. B) Crunches can build muscle that repositions the fat to help achieve a better appearance.

But then crunches with a mix of aerobic anaerobic exercise with smart food choices is the best bet

As for overall health I would suggest weight loss over acceptance.

I do too. It would nice to get rid of it but I'm ok with it.

Dixie, my preferred exercise is walking, but I don't do that as often as I could. I am trying to get out of the office in the morning & aftternoon for 10 min walks around the office complex.

Well since I've not done anything yet I'll post what I'll do. I'm going to my Audie tOday for an audiogram and see if I need HAs. I'm looking forward to seeing my audiogram.

If it turns out you do, ask your audi about VR connections. Meaning, I wonder if you would qualify for VR support, and if so, your audi and VR work to cover the cost of the HAs.

I have arrived to the audiologist earlier than expected. An hour and a half earlier. I was told there was construction on part of the way for about six miles so I left early. I'm just going to sit in my truck for now until a bit before I go in. If they are running late who cares I don't have to be anywhere until six this evening.
