Granny's gone and done it again

Do we all shrink? I lost a lot of my height. Figured it was from my back.
From what I have read we shrink as we age because the disc between our vertebrae flatten as we age. Osteoporosis also contributes to loss of bone density making vertebrae weaker and may cause them to crack and flatten. Changes in muscle mass and posture can also contribute to us getting shorter.
 
Yeah. I used to be 5’ 11” now I’m 5’ 10 1/2” 😭🤣
Shrek, talk to your doctor about taking a calcium and vitamin D supplement. You are to young to be losing height. Something else that was recommended to me was doing weight bearing exercises. Like lifting weights and regular exercise. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis so I take calcium, vitamin D and Boniva.
 
Oh that reminds me...now on the topic of surprising weight lost...so last year I went in for yearly check up and remembered from the year just before that I'd weighed 125 lbs and some oz...
anyway when I was weighed, it said 113 lbs...I was sort of surprised at this because I don't recall doing much out of the ordinary... -_-

So this year at the end of Dec. will be this year's yearly check up and we'll see how things have changed this time. Hoping it's not all that bad...

Thanks! Will do!
 
Soon to head to work y'all (around 4:20-ish here)...not really looking forward to it, but I've gotta be there -_-

In the meantime, how was everyone's day??

My day was alright, currently (at this very moment), I'm at home having some potatoes with carrots mixed in and, don't judge (XD), but ketchup with them as well...I'm a crazy ketchup freak!

I like ketchup on potatoes, don't recall putting it on carrots.
