(59 yo female) I recently emailed the "Know-Your-Numbers" list to my physician in advance of my annual physical. My physician responded saying my insurance will not cover the costs of some of the tests. Apparently, I'm not unhealthy enough to warrant the expense of obtaining these baselines. 🤔 I'm 59 - seems like a good time to me!

Day 15 of 21

What I've noticed:1) I haven't taken a Tums in a week; 2) I go to bed feeling "accomplished" because I took care of my health vs. ending the day beating myself up for not taking any steps towards better health; 3)The previous sets me up for better sleep, 4) I started prioritizing time to walk each day. 4,000 steps/day for week 1, 5,000 for week 2, and 6,000 for week 3. Willingly walked over 40 miles in 2 weeks! I listen to OTL podcasts while walking to help maintain my focus on incorporating small steps, getting closer to the source, and improving the quality of the food I purchase. I'm paying attention OTL folks! Thank you all for what you do!
