Thank you!
 
Thank you all for the birthday wishes!! :grouphug: You guys are so sweet. As I said earlier, i am blessed...

Hi Sunny:wave:!!~your program is interesting, sounds complicated, but they all do at first. Sounds very healthy anyway. I would love to have one of those juicers, i'm glad you found one. And on sale is always better! ;) I sure hope you start feeling better really soon. Your poor tummy. Oh, and thanks for noticing my ticker and the 17 lbs! :dance: I'm feeling really good about it. I also got measured and have lost 15.5 inches from my bust, waist, hips, and thighs. I can't believe it, but i'll accept it. I'm really feeling it in my clothes now.

Hi SunnyD,

Yes I did recive your reply I was just trying to figure out some of the post options and accidentally sent it again. :^: Thank you so much for your prayers for my niece. My puppies are Lhasa Apso's. They are now 3 months old and a handful. We bought them for our kids for Christmas and they have brought so much entertaiment to the house. I can relate to what you were saying about having "fury children" because these pups are just like babies! Cute like babies too. I used to be a homemaker and actually just started working 3weeks ago. It was pretty hard to leave the kids after being home for so long, but I had to do it to help out. I feel good about it though because my kids are in a daycare with a woman from our church who has the center in her house. There are only 6 kids and 2 of them are mine so they get the attention they need. Needless to say I am praying for a way to help out financially and still be at home with my kids. I know He will make a way!! :cb:

Been busy but still here
 
Been busy this last month - with teaching Priscilla school and now the new puppy - and then the IBS has acted up somewhat.

On the subject of puppies: Koko is really becoming a clown - he sure has learned quickly who to bug and who to stay away from. He gets down right terrible when Norm is home - jumps around like a kangaroo with this funny bark and wants to nip him all the time - and naturally Norm is egging him on. Koko doesn't do this to me as I tend to be the one to 'discipline' more - funny when he gets going he will stop and look at me and wait to see if I am going to correct him, turn to Norm and then squeal (his funny bark) But last night was the corker of all times.

Norm was out to work, Koko was upstairs and I needed to go downstairs to clean up the family room a bit and finish up the wash. Priscilla came down to help me - and we could hear Koko upstairs playing with his toys - no problem - it then became quiet - no problem as he still tires out easily. Priscilla went to check on him and called me to come quickly - so up I went - and low and behold - as small as he is he had pushed open the bathroom door, pulled down a roll of toilet paper, took it into the livingroom and proceeded to shred it - it was a terrible mess. And on top of it I couldn't find him - he is so small and white that when he was in the living room he blended right in with the mess - when I called him he came quickly but when he got to my feet he realized that he was in trouble - boy did he take off down the hall, ran into our bedroom door opening it and right into his crate. Was so funny - his 'punishment' was the he couldn't sleep on our bed last night - and he didn't complain at all - he slept very nicely in his crate till 7 this morning - guess he knew better than to make a noice.

Koko will be 3 months old on Thursday and is just 2 pounds - very little - but is learning fast. He will sit on command, is house trained now - but should we leave him at home when we go out - he has paid us back with a mess when we let him out of his crate (we put him out side right away - but should he be upset at us he will squat by the door and put a few 'drops' just to let us know not to leave him at home again.) He will come when called - most times - but when we go to bend over to pick him up he runs back - he is smart enough to realize that if we are wanting to pick him up he might be in trouble - but he is so cute we have a hard time being upset with him

I get weighed tomorrow so will report back on that then

Night all

wilma12 03-09-2005 09:07 AM

Nothing much to report here except the same old routine. I still am exercising each morning and am trying to eat properly. I am really looking forward to when the snow is gone and I can go walking outside. (We still have over 2 feet of snow in our yard.)

Welcome to the newcomers. I sure do hope you find the support you need here. These people are great.

Have a great day!

Margie B. 03-09-2005 09:15 AM

Good Morning to All!
 
Good Morning to All and thanks so much for the welcomes.

MNEWTON I'm a walker too but with the change in time, it's dark before I get home. I do have a Gazelle that I try to get on 45 min. or so a day. . . does anyone have any experience and hopefully success with one of these? It's easy, maybe too easy because I just don't feel like I'm getting any kind of workout. The good side though, if I'm on the Gazelle 45 minutes, that 45 minutes that I'm not sitting on the couch eating potato chips! (My BIGGEST weakness)! :^:

EZMONEY I think I'll like it here too, all the friendliness like one big family was one of the reasons I got on this thread.

MITCHYPOO 17 pounds!!!!! How? That's wonderful. I've had a goal of 10 by St. Patty's day but I don't think it's going to happen, maybe 5 but I'm still trying.

doitforme, first of all, love the name, there is just so much we could do for HIM but yet it would never be enough for what He's done for me. My only question for you, 'is there life BEFORE coffee'? :coffee:

SunnyD57 thank you also for the welcome. I love your posts, you are such a positive person and your name appears to also show your disposition. Many, many words of encouragement are in your posts which are much appreciated. :)

Hope everyone is having a great day. "This is a day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it." :thanks:

Mitchypoo 03-09-2005 12:26 PM

Margie!I'm so happy you came back!!! I lost the 17 lbs. since 1/4/05 w/the help of LA Weightloss. It's real food, healthy and balanced, low calorie, low fat. I really like the program and coming from being a big low-carb dieter, i'm just amazed that i can lose while eating almost anything i want.

mnewton 03-09-2005 12:47 PM

Good Morning Everyone!

It is a wonderful day today! I pray you all are doing well. :cloud9:

EZMONEY- So you are off to Washington? I live in WA and just love it here. Now is a really good time to come. We havent seen rain in a few weeks and the sky is blue and clear. Its a little cloudy in the am but it clears up by the afternoon. Have fun on your trip! ;)

SunnyD- Margie B is right. You are such an encouragement! I love seeing your posts. Margie B - Potato chips are my weakness too! So I totally undertand. But you are so right, being on the Gazelle is far better than getting cozy with a bag of chips! Keep it up, you will see the results. If you are not breaking a sweat just up the resistance and continue with the 45min. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing your success! :goodvibes

Wilma12 - 2 feet of snow?!! Wow, we got snow for about 15mins one day and it was all gone 1/2 hour later. We havent seen any since. Well hopefully it will be gone soon so you can enjoy the springtime weather. Good job staying on your exercise and eating routine while having to stay in the house! I know that can be challenging so way to go! :cheer:

We are all blessed with our dear Sunny/Donna! :flow2: I can tell she isn't quite herself these days because her posts are not so often, but what a sweetie she is!

MargieB - I am proof there is life before coffee, I am on the treadmill within minutes of rolling out of bed, or else I would find something else to do.

Good Afternoon (almost evening ;) ) Everyone!

I am having "one of those days today" (just like the pic above ;) )... I have tons to do, but feel so darn tired & begin them, but don't finish :dz: :p Uggggg... ... ... Even my cats just sleep the day away! Usually they are out on our enclosed porch watching the other animals, but it's been so cold and snowy. Here is a picture or two I took of them in our laundry room:

I took this yesterday:

I KNOW how they feel! :tired: All this this dreary weather does is make you feel sleepy... when the sun was out earlier, I felt like I could conquer the day without any problem... :jig: well, now I feel like my kitties :dz:

*~*~*

Nope Sue... I never made it to the $-Store today ;) But I will go... maybe over the weekend :D I love your attitude about the WINTER weather... I must remember that SPRING is just around the corner :smug: :thanks:

Have fun with your kids tonight :dance: I am positive that you will :^:


Awwwwe, Thank-you so much Michele, I feel so cared for right now... you made my eyes water up ;)

You are very welcome! I know how great it feels when you are on the upswing in losing the weight... I am so very happy for you :dancer: Are you buying their vitamins and food at LA Wt-Loss? Or are you just following their plan?


MNewton, Oh good... I was thinking you got lost or confused ;) I am so glad to see you are finding your way around :) I remember when I started here --- I did allot of researching --- I couldn't figure it all out fast enough. I really enjoy posting with color and using the graphics :^:

:thanks: so much for the kinds words... I really care deeply for people, God's People, so I try to do my very best to remind everyone with encouragement how SPECIAL we are to HIM... Do I get a Amen? :)

I bet your two Lhasa Apso's are adorable!!! I LOVE animals!!! My furry kids have brought me so much *JOY* & *Laughter* 3 months old, you have babies... enjoy them at this stage... they grow so fast! If you look at the pictures I posted you will see my three :) The 2-tabby's are brothers (second picture), Guido in front & Zeppe in back and this June they will be 3 yrs old. They both weigh about 15 lbs... big guys :o ! Then there's my precious little Black & Whilte, Domino... he's 9 yrs old and only about 7 lbs. I am so glad that they all get along so well.

I would so love to work again... I use to work for Jazzercise (15 yrs as a registrar - I signed people up), a Tanning Boutique (for 4 yrs) & a Card Shop (for 3 yrs)... but I cannot work right now with my poor health. That's why I am trying so hard to get my health back. I would love to get back out there --- not necessarily in the working world, but I'd love to volunteer somewhere. Good for you doing what you can... your children sound like they are in very good hands :goodvibes :df:


Hey there Sprout! Good to see you :flow1: I thought you might be rather busy lately with your new furry kid ;) Sounds like KOKO is fitting into the family just beautifully... making you all laugh allot I read :lol: Soooo Cute!! Did you read the post from MNewton??? Her two pups are the same age as your little KOKO is :D You sound just like me with my boys... I cannot get angry at them --- I just laugh at their innocence... they always look at me with their heads all tilted like, "What???" "Something wrong?" ***Enjoy!!!***

Gary, Cannot wait to see some updated pictures of your new home when you get back!

Wilma, Just keep on truckin' you will see results soon :cheer:

Margie B, I *Thank~you* as well :flow1: for your kind words... it's so nice to hear. As Michele (Mitchypoo) has mentioned I haven't been well lately, so your kind words (and the others on this thread) have lifted my spirits so much :bubbles: I love this thread and this great group of people!!

When I am well... I too am a walker :) I have the *Walk Away the Pounds* DvD's, an Elliptical & a T-Mill. I use the T-Mill the most. When I have a 'feel good day' I usually get in about 2 miles. I am so anxious for the warmer temps of Spring so I can get OUT and walk, but Winter in just hanging on here in NE Ohio... how is it where you live? I live in Geauga County --- are you familiar with that area? We get hit allot here... like yesterday!

*~*~*

*Hello's* out there :wave: to all our MIA's!!!
Have a nice evening gang...

Question for Sunny
 
Sunny I know you suffer from IBS - as so many of us do.

Think I might have asked you this before but could you give me an idea about your program you are following re your IBS - maybe a link to it - I have been suffering off and on with this problem - have found some foods that get it going but need to work on what to do when having a flair up.

If there is a link to the food program - any info would help.

Thanks

SunnyD57 03-09-2005 06:11 PM

Hello Sprout,
 
Aren't you the one that told us about *The Maker's Diet*?? I thought you were :shrug: Anyway, Jordan Rubin who wrote it has the program I am following. I not only have IBS, but I also have Diverticulitis and a prolapsed colon... that's why I have been suffering so much lately & not able to sit for long periods of time and don't mention often what is wrong with me :^: - it's humbling to say the least ; I will eventually have to have surgery to do repairs on the prolapsed muscle :( and the polyps --- that I am not looking forward to at all, but I have been told that I will feel worlds better if I had it done. Soon... right now I am concentrating on getting my insides quieted down and healed up and his program is working. But I warn you... it's expensive! His vitamins and the switch to Organic Foods are $$$-costly, but so is a hospital stay :^:

Here is the Link to his site below ~>

FYI Sprout
 
... if you do go to order any *Garden of Life* products - this is a good site to order from as well. The prices here have been the best I have seen ;) I just placed an order for a couple more refils ;)

Mitchypoo 03-10-2005 09:35 AM

Sunny~love the pics of the boys....wow, to be a cat, huh? Looks so comfy.

Back is really hurting today from that fall :(, put some icy/hot stuff on today. Had to go home last night and go to bed. Hopefully it'll get better today. We're having a little snow today, but it's almost 40 degrees? I'm sooo ready for spring.
