Speaking of chatty ... I was going to try to post something profound for my 10,000th post yesterday, when suddenly, I was at about 10015 ... so nothing profound. Just chatter.
Wow, 10,000 posts! That's amazing! You're my idol! And I agree with Dagmar--all your posts are valuable in some way!
I was thinking 10000 posts sounds like I could be doing more cardio (yick ptewy).
Couldn't we all?
Hmmm, I wonder how many calories typing burns? Does it burn more if you use the shift key (you know, since people sometimes find it so hard to press that key that they type everything in lower case)?
I wonder if there really are calorie counts for some of the more sedentary activities. A lot of people don't do anything physical all day except sit, type, telephone, shuffle papers, etc. (you can see my concept of working in an office is pretty limited) .
I keep trying to make the link to my blog under my Mudpie picture in my profile work. Silverbirch kindly linked one of my posts in the previous week's chat to the blog. I checked that link and it went to the actual blog.
I keep copying this link and trying to insert it in my profile . It keeps going to the main blog page
Anyone got any ideas? And could someone explain how I find a particualr blog from the main blog page? I don't see a field for search anywhere.
Oh my! Some combination of the abs I did yesterday and the raisin bran and pizza I ate today ... is making me miserable this evening. I'm blown up like a balloon! I look 'pregnanter' than my daughter! Yuck!
I had a little visit with my doc today. We reviewed my meds and how I'm doing. It was fine, really. He's a great guy. I'm not sure why I find that so exhausting.
Just thought I would stop in and post. I've been reading but not posting much these days; it's been a little while. The last few weeks I have not been feeling very well. As some of you may know I have Chrone's disease and for the most part it stays in remission, but a few weeks ago I had the worst flare ever. A lot of blood and a lot of weakness (to the point of feeling like I was going to pass out at the store). I went to my gastrointerologist and he confirmed that things were bad. He put me on Predisone (steroids) to get things under control. Well 2 weeks later (my face is rounder and I'm 5 pounds heavier) although I am starting to feel a little better. I'm still really fatigued but hope to be getting back to normal in the next week. Anyway, today is my first day off of the predisone and I am so tired. It's been really hard to sleep more than 4 hours a night while on the drug and I feel like I will just colapse tonight. I hope so anyway.
Hope everyone is doing well, and I hope to be back in the swing of things soon.
That's right, Lekhika Mudpie, I edited your blog info so it works now. The first part of the url is automatically inserted for you, so you just needed the mudpie part
I'm always so impressed by those who know how to do things with computers. I have taken courses and can do really basic stuff but when there's a problem I'm lost immediately. I keep trying to fix things by doing them over and over. Kinda like my dieting
Look how helpful these beautiful chicks are! We're so fortunate to have this place and everyone in it!
Ah Abbyin! Crohn's disease is a terrible thing. But I do think they're make strides. Folks are doing much better now than the pt's I looked after 30 years ago. Take heart!
I feel a little foolish now complaining about my rumbly tumbly.
BTW ... Lekhika? is that you in your avatar? Very pretty!

Reason: another thought
Thanks guys for your words of support . I did get some rest (finally) last night and am feeling much better this morning. I'm still a little weak, but hopefully with some healthy eating and a little more time, everything will get back to normal.
I'm really going to have to work on losing this extra weight. I'm kind of glad the weekend is here because I actually tend to eat better on the weekend than during the week. I know that's not the case for most people, but I tend to eat out a lot during the week. I think I'll wait until Monday to re-adjust my ticker. Hopefully I can get a couple of pounds off by then .
I promised my daughter we'd make some "cupcakes" so I have to come up with a healthy chocolate muffin recipe for kiddos. I mean, it barely matters I just want to keep the ingredients fresh and yummy so that my husband (who can't resiste sweet things) bites into something pretty healthy.
Off I go to internet land to look for healthy chocolate, oatmeal blueberry muffin recipes....can it be done?
I had a great 40minute yoga session in the morning. And I'm ready to start the day!
Good Morning to all of you. I hope the day goes well for all!

Does sitting burn calories?
