Thats good to hear @TAB you will get there. Wow you got a new iphone! Wanted to ask with Androids can you scan QR codes? I have a burner phone and will eventually have to upgrade with all this QR code stuff. I do have an ipod however which is 2013 4th generation which I needed on the go with my audios as my Apple Shuffle was out of date and no longer worked on itunes. I hope you have fun with your new phone. I'm just back from my walk after carrying a 3kg vest. Its heavy going lol! Just doing my violet flame decree and then will organise rubbish as its garbage day tomorrow. I dont know how I carry 3kg but its really testing my strength. Mind you I was carrying lots of weight being overweight so I guess will see how I go. It will be great for my bones with all this weightbearing exercise. But yes its testing my limits. I guess I just keep going. Have a telehealth appointment with my diabetes educator next week on Thursday

I have to get bloods done. My pathology request form was e-mailed to me from my remote diabetes educator. Since I have no printer have sent it across to Officeworks. Wishing you a good day @TAB its good youre getting into doctors without an issue. Some parts of the country you have to wait weeks to see somebody. Its very stressful being a GP these days

Hello @StuF enjoy your walk. I'm heading off for another walk in an hour or so. Keep at it like I am. You could get a weighted vest to increase your fat burning potential. I got one this week. Its been good to keep pushing myself in this way. I was told by my diabetes educator to start small so the lowest weight vest is 3kg. Bought mine off ebay. It feels good while exercising. She wants me at 80kg. Don't know how I do that but the inches ARE coming off. Lost another few inches in the past month

Wow gee thanks @StuF. I don't think I'm anything after the people I've seen. But thanks for the compliment! ❤️
