  • New Pages for a new week.....
  • Good morning:

    Thanks for starting us, Paula.

    Vickie posted on last week's board. They're taking Cassie to the specialist and praying for a miracle.

    I'm looking forward to this week. I've set myself a goal to lose 3 pounds this week. I'm going to exercise 6 days, and take one day off to rest. I'll have to watch my food intake of course, but I'm not going to be stupid about it.

    I hope you all have a great day today. I've got to go into the office, but it's not too onerous. I have some pieces of a report to finish and I think I know where the pieces are!

    Had no problem with the Mothers Day Celebration we just ate normal things we have during the week and not cake was in the house to temp me,but this morning the my scale took me up to a .8 gain at W-I. Well I'm not really upset as I can't exercise with this bad ankle and once it heals I will be able to lose again.It just a small setback,but oh gee!!how many set backs can you have in a given year.

    PAULA-thanks for starting us up,I'm always afraid of double threading that's why I don't start.

    RHONDA-You'll lose those 3 lbs I have faith in you,with all that spin biking.


    We be back some time late afternoon
  • Hi Everyone
    Have had a terrible time getting on the internet today.

    Cant stay long. Have to get ready and go to my Aunts. And Wal Mart. And then to weigh in.

    VICKIE I hope Cassie gets a good report today. You both are in my prayers.

    BEACHBUM Hope the ankle is better today.

    TEJAS good luck with the report.

    BLESSEDWITHSARAH, ONTARGET Hope you both have a great day.

    Well I dont know that i will get back on here tonight or not. Depends on what time I get home from town. And what all I have to get done before bedtime.

  • Just got home from the Petscan our appointment was 1:30PM and we had a 2hr wait [for another guy who was late for his appointment]to be finished before Leo could go in for his petscan.Its unbelieved that people do this and make other wait. We always there 30 mins before our scheduled appointments,why can't people do the same.


    I was in pain after a while waiting I had to put my leg on another chair to keep it elevated.Poor Leo was famished by the time we came home I had lots of granola & cheese bars with me but he didn't wait to eat at that time.

    I have my MRI results on Thursday.You & I both hope that I didn't have a long thrown on event with my ankle.

    It was a long long day,I ready for bed.


    See you gals in the morning
  • Well, good grief, Maryann, that was quite a day. I hope you're both at home resting now.

    This starts a new week for me and I'm going to follow the old core plan.Just looked over the list and now I have to buy some of the foods I'm allowed to eat. On the whole day menu for today I used 4 WPA's and decided to divide them into seven days, allowing me to have 5 per day. Still going to count the points as I now on a counting calorie frame of mind.


    COCO-Hope you had a great W-I,you were doing so nice I decided to go back to the old core way of eating. Last night I had to use the pain killers having such as stressful long day,but this morning I well rested I hope I don't have to rely on them.


    RHONDA-It was really a day from ****,can't understand why the techs didn't say to the man that he'll have to wait since he was the one late for his appointment,and taken us instead.


    Have to go,and start my chores for the day
  • Hi Everyone
    Not much going here.
    Gained 2 lbs. So will really have to try and get back to core. Or the simply filling foods. Guess allowing too many processed foods and carbs in.

    BEACHBUM That is awful you had to wait that long. But that has happened to us before. Its like we are on time. let the ones late have to wait. But of course they dont see it that way. Hubby has to go for his pre admission stuff tomorrow for his cataract surgrey next week. Hope you got some rest last night.

    Well I am going to get off here.
    But will be back later.

    The sun is shinning and Leo & I are heading for the beach,don't think we'll get any walking done,but it nice this morning just to sit and watch the surf coming in.


    Second day on the Core Plan and I don't miss the bread at all.Thinking I was having too many of them and that's causing the scale going up in bits & pcs.


    COCO-Sorry about you gain,could it be sodium or too many carbs??? Hoping you have a better W-I next week.I'm going to the doctors tomorrow and hope that Murphy's Law doesn't follow me into the office.,like it did with Leo.

    VICKIE-Oh BOY!! sorry about Cassie's passing,sending lots of cyber hugs your way.
  • Hi Everyone
    Well guess we are to get more rain. At least we have had a couple of days without. And that has let things dry out some. So that will be good.
    Not much going on here.
    Bad day of eating. But tomorrow is a new day. And the day I get back on track.

    BEACHBUM did you have a good time on the beach. Good luck at the Dr's tomorrow.

    VICKIE

    Hubby had his pre admission stuff done today. Goes next week for the cataract surgery. Just trying to get the paper work from the regular Dr. Because the eye dr wants some paper work filled out. I took it to the regular Dr on May 1. Still waiting. While we were at the hospital. Went to the Dr's office and asked about it. Dr is suppose to fill it out today. So hope we get it this week. Said they wouldnt do the surgery unless they have the paper work. Its like. Why cant you look it up on the computer. All his doctoring is done here. All his records are here. So dont know. Hope that all makes sense.
    Then went back to my eye dr. Told them my new specs are just not working out right. So have to go back on Friday. And have my eyes rechecked. Make sure the Dr wrote down the right stuff. Think they may be too strong. I dont know. But something just isnt right.
    Well I am going to get off here. Got a headache. Might go lay down for a few minutes. See if I can get rid of it.
    I am thinking of each of you.
    Have a great evening everyone.

  • Good morning everyone,

    Coco, good for you to get back on track. You can do it, you're doing very well. I'm sorry to hear about all of these problems getting medical care easily.

    I'm playing hookey today. A good friend, and former student, is in town and we are going to spend the day together. It's raining like crazy here, but if it lightens up we'll take a long walk by Lake Ontario. She lives in Saskatoon so she doesn't see that much water!

    All is well here. I'm exercising like mad and have the sore thighs, shins and calves to prove it! I'm watching my intake. In fact, last night I turned down luscious baked goods and had poached pears for dessert when I was out with a friend. She said "that's too healthy to be dessert!"

    I hope you all have a good day.

    Vickie
