November is ending on a Puppy note!

BIKE COMMUTE about 2 miles!!

Shhhhhh.....I'm not really supposed to be riding Puppy, but I couldn't resist. The rear tire has been flat since he came home from SO's mechanic, wouldn't hold air. Then in October Dad moved Puppster to the basement. Last night I pulled him back up and this morning popped a new tube in. I was singing "Go Puppy, it's your birthday, we're gonna party, like it's your birthday..." Don't worry, that song won't be added to the IM Songlist. Oh, maybe it will. Playing on the YouTuber now for review.

LOLZ can't help but laff at the video. Yeah no not sure about this one. As a side note, SO's Candy Shop song is next on the playlist. Hahaha!  Oh ya this In Da Club song is awful. Why was I singing it?

This morning Marsha and I talked about running next week, only with permission from Dr White. In my mind's eye there will be confetti cannons. Today I did my longest treadmill and bike sessions - 30 mins of each (no handcycle, boring!). 1.75 mi walk and 7.8 miles biked.

I've been aiming for 60' mins of activity a day. On Tuesday (or Weds, not sure) I did the first P90X CD, did it lightly and was still sore and numb afterwards. It was the push-up/pull-up workout.

I'm feeling great! No symptoms since around Nov 5th or so. A few days ago I committed to a 6-8 week vegan test, I'm a few days in and starting with a juice "fast", not really a fast and not really all juice. But it's pushing veggies, I tried beets today  - just a half cup of canned - and Yummy! So my shopping list for next week has lots of F&V that I don't normally buy.

Oh  did I mention I bought a Breville juicer for only $10. Thanks neighbor! The doctors aren't telling me to go veg*n but when they hear about it they support it. So I'm happy to try it. I really never thought I'd be OK not eating meat because I love it so much! But I haven't had my fluff in over a week, had a few egg whites while home for Turkey day, and other than a steak SO brought over for dinner (a man after my heart!) I've been pretty meat free.

The goal of this veg*n test? 6-8 weeks, depending on how I'm feeling, to see if I can shift the blood numbers. I get tested next week or so and this will measure the effects of the Repatha anti-PCSK9 human monoclonal, then the next test in February will test the effects of the diet. At least that's how I see it.

Oh and speaking of SO, last night I got my xmas present! A SUPER NICE jersey and bib shorts. Bib shorts?! New for me, oooooh hope it warms up so I can wear them. The material is soft and thin and way nicer than I've ever owned for biking. Or running. Or well much of anything lately.

Speaking of Turkey day, I enjoyed some Turkey on two days, no cheese, and no other meat! Only some yogurt and a few nibs of SO's lasagna cheese that I made for him and Dad. Dad's pan was enjoyed by the whole family, including niece and nephew who stayed there for the weekend while sis and BIL were on vacay in New Orleans.

Speaking of neighbors, I'm getting more follow-up-ish on queries about the furniture and schtuff I'm trying to sell. My living room so cluttered - sofa, swivel chair, lamps, rocking chair. All piled up.

My coworker SVC had her last day today. I got her a Nathan waist pack and a BRR card for her Disney marathon. Real Disney, like not my Disney, haha.

It's supposed to be upwards of 60F tomorrow, after some overnight rain. Want to go hiking!! But lets see how much mud from the rain and how much work I need to get done this weekend. M&D might be visiting next weekend so I want to get caught up.

So for December it's getting into running and my vegan test!
