Howdy all this fine day. Am enjoying the cooler weather. Went to a friends house for tea today. We had a nice visit and shes coming with me Sat. to an all day class on cooking with a dutch over outside. I can't wait. I tried to get my husband to go but he wouldn't. So I'm happy my dear friend is.
Ellen- What a nice day plan. I hope the shopping and exercise was great. I used to have goats and used the milk. Hope you get some and like it.
Crystle- Its stayed around 66 here today. I'm hopeing the rest of the week is like this. I put our heavy comforter on the bed last night. Hope you got out and walked.
Solly- Hope you went home and rested. You'll get back in the swing of eating right but for right now you need to just take care and be easy on yourself.
We're grilling burgers for dinner so guess I'd better get them ready.
Class was great today...she worked us hard. The market was a blast, lunch was exceptional. I ran dinner down to my neighbors. It was very sad... I sat and talked a bit. Came home, fixed up Tom's dinner, then we went to our small group. Just got in a little while ago.
I am going to go to bed early. Boy am I tired! I may have to go to water aerobics again tomorrow. I am a glutton for punishment...
Hi ladies, feeling worse today. My head is killing me and I am very dizzy. Maybe I did too much yesterday. I did walk about 2 blocks or so last night. Hoping that will help with many things. Eating was good yesterday and going that way today.
Ellen, glad you are liking your areobics. Hope you went again. Sounds like you had a great day too. I went to bed early myself, but I still didn't want to get up today.
Toni, I did go home and hit the bed for awhile. My DD fixed dinner and I ate and hit the chair other than a walk. I went to bed around 9:30 too.
Crystle, hope your day is going good.
Mercee, I am sure you are walking and eating great.
Sorry I have been MIA . I has a busy weekend and on top of all that I have a really bad cold. I stayed home yesterday and rested. I am back at work but my head is hurting.
Solly- Glad to seee you are back posting. I hope you get better soon.
Ellen- Glad you are enjoying working out.
Toni- I hope you enjoy your class.
Crystle- Hope you are having a great day. Thanks for the hug. This is for you
I am still eating well and working out. Have a great day everyone.
Hello everyone! I went to class this morning. I am wiped out! In a good way. Just finished up lunch..sauteed eggplant with mushrooms and onions in olive oil, two raw carrots and a bit of turkey sandwich meat. And I am drinking darjeeling tea iced.
Its beautifully cool here today! Like around 70! I wish I could go walk, but my plantar fascitis is bothering me again. I bruised my heel walking at the outlet mall a week or so ago when I went to get the tea kettle and its still bothering me.
SOLLY: Are you using your cpap machine? I just got new filters, hose and mask. My insurance replaces them every six months. I can't believe its been that long, but I so glad I got the machine now. I sleep SO much better, and feel much better too. I am looking up some info on stroke and rehab...will let you know when I find something that sounds helpful or informative. Right now, I have not had much time to sit for a spell and really look...but I will eventually. In the meantime I have read that exercise is helpful to strengthen and retrain, etc. I would suggest starting out really slowly...like 10 or 15 minutes walking max. Do that for two weeks, and then add five minutes. You definitely do NOT want to overdo it. And you don't want to skip it. Small steps...and build.
MERCEE: Glad you could take a day to chill. We all need that now and then. How is the weather up there? Its finally cooled off here in the south. I was afraid it never would! Usually by this time, we are ready to close the pool cause no one has been in for weeks. It is probably almost warm enough to swim now. In fact, if it goes back up into the 80's I probably will.....
I am going to go make oat bran muffins for my poor hubby to take to work. Tomorrow he has to go in early...they have a release. I will be SO glad when its over.
Howdy all. Just had a sandwich on a bread round with this sliced ham and baby swiss. Yummy. Not much going on here today so I'm kind of boring.
Ellen- Thats great you went to the pool again. Sounds like you're busy and doing good. Would love an oat bran muffin.
Solly- I'm so sorry you're having a bad day today. Hopefully things will get better as the day goes on. That was so good you ate right and walked. Pray your days will get better fast.
Hey ya'll. Today is just beautiful here in Texas. It is about 80 degrees right now. It is gonna warm up tomorrow but overall it is still going to be nice. I actually got my lazy tootie out the door for a walk/jog this morning. I'm very proud that I jogged even though I cheated and only jogged on the downhill portions. Had my best outside time of 26 minutes for two miles. The hills are a booty kicker. It was weird to not even break a sweat because of the lower temps. Usually you sweat before you even start. Eating was better today. I actually ate breakfast. A yummy egg/egg white scramble with asparagus and mushrooms with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Only 165 calories and filling. Not sure about lunch yet. I'm not hungry.
Solly...(((hugzzzz))) Sorry you are still feeling poorly. Praying that you get stronger and stronger every day. That your body will heal and repair itself.
Mercee...So sorry you have another yucky cold. Hope you feel tons better soon. It is hard enough to eat healthy and move when we feel good.
Ellen...Wish we lived closer. I may not be hungry but I could really enjoy the eggplant.
Toni...okay I wasn't hungry but between the eggplant and your swiss cheese I'm thinking about food and it sounds good..LOL I should be mowing but my youngest is having trouble with his asthma and we do not want to stir up more irritants. I guess I'll try tomorrow.
Just passing through. Feeling the after effects of the workout...sore and achy. I hope its better in the morning! Tom has to go in at 5 tomorrow for his release...I hope I don't wake up when he does and then have trouble going back to sleep.
For dinner tonight I had a Ahi tuna steak, roasted asparagus and a spoonful of fresh zipper peas. The peas were not a wise choice for me, but I wanted to taste them. I had a snack of a bowl of popcorn...I finished off the popcorn in the cabinet, and I knew it was the last bowl for a while. I am gradually reducing the carbs in my diet and moving towards really low GI foods. Its a lot harder than I thought it would be!
Tomorrow I am supposed to have lunch with a friend. We are going to that all you can eat salad place....which is perfect! I can eat a lot of salad, and still be on plan.
Hi ladies, Feeling better today, still dizzy but nothing like yesterday, thank goodness. I am logging my food and trying to stay around 1300 calories. We did walk around the block last night and we went just a little farther. Hopefully that will help. I am sitting here enjoying my thin k bagel with peanut butter. Pretty tasty.
Ellen, Yes I am using that Cpap machine. At first I didn't get up to go to the bathroom, but I am now. I usually go around 5:00 and then I take the machine off for the last hour. Ihave not been able to get back to the sleep dr since I can't drive. I am hoping in 2 weeks I can make it. So glad you are lking the aerobics. It will help you go more. Try rolling your foot on a frozen water bottle, it really helped me get over the planter fascitis faster. Hey how come your score it so high on B Blitz? I can't get that high no matter what I try.
Toni, I really enjoyed BL last night but I had to go to bed right after the challenge. Who got voted off? I bet it was the older lady. I'm having your lunch (minus the cheese) today.
Mercee, I hope your cold gets better soon. Nothing worse than a summer cold. Maybe you should go easy on the exercise until it is gone.
Crystle, Allergies have been horrible right now. My poor DD's are suffering and one had to get a Zpack to ease her sneezing, head stuff. You are doing great with your walking. I am trying to catch up, but will never jog.
Off to do some work, I am taking it easy and not doing much to tax myself. Have a great day. I don't know what I would do without you guys.
I am so excited this morning. Down two pounds and out of the 180's. I'm sore all over. I don't know if it is from the jogging yesterday or the jogging without sneakers during the biggest loser commercials. On another site I saw a challenge to exercise during the biggest loser commercials. I only did 25 minutes worth but it was kinda neat. I jogged around in my tiny little house, did jumping jacks and some two footed jumps and tapped the wall. My kids thought I'd lost it. What was really neat was I'd get just about cooled down when it was time to get moving again.
Mercee..WTG You are consistently losing three pounds. I am jealous in a good way. You are doing GREAT.
Ellen...hope you have a blast at lunch. You dinner sounded delicious. I haven't had tuna in ages.
Solly...I hope you are feeling stronger and better this morning. Hope your appetite comes back soon so you can eat the things that will help you get stronger.
Toni...Good morning. How is the weather in your neck of the woods? We have a front coming through later this week so I know you will get it first. It is just going to reinforce our 80's. The best part is it is cool at night. Are you still sneaking in a little walking?
Good morning gals. I'm happy to report I'm down 1 lb. today. I'm getting so close to the end of the 190's. Just two and a half lbs. to go. Today I've got an eye exam. Hope I get new glasses.
Mercee- Wow 3 lbs. is wonderful. My gosh you're doing so good. Hope the cold is getting better.
Solly- Dang woman you're doing really well. The young black woman got voted off. The older woman Tina got to stay. I was happy for her. Weren't some of those losses amazing!
Crystle- Yippee 2 lbs. and out of the 180's. Keep up the good work. That was cool how you kept moving on the commercials.
Ellen- I've never had fresh tuna before but it sure sounds wonderful. Hope your workout is great and you get a little nap in today.
Wow!! Congratulations to all of the wonderful losers here.
Crystle and Toni
I love biggest loser also I just watched last week last night. I plan to catch up by the weekend. I haven't decided who I am going to cheer for yet. Have a great day everyone.
Hello everyone! I meant to get on here earlier, and I don't know where the time went! I did not go to lunch as planned today, so I went to WA as usual. That is three days in a row! Woo hoo! And I am going to go tomorrow. I did remember to weigh and I was down 1 pound. I would have loved for more, but I will take it.
We had a potluck tonight to go to. I was so so on the food. I concentrated on vegetables, and ate half a chicken breast which was from KFC. So probably not too bad.
I slept very poorly last night, so I am about to head to bed, and am hoping I can sleep better. I fell asleep easily, but woke up an hour later, and then could not go back to sleep again.
Congrats to all you losers this week!
SOLLY: You sound better. That makes me glad. I am glad the dizzy stuff is better today. Sounds like you are adapting to the cpap therapy pretty well. At least you are not like my husband, who takes his mask off sometime in the middle of the night...usually not more than an hour or two after he goes to sleep....and does not remember doing it. He wakes up in the morning with the machine turned off and the mask carefully hung on the back of the chair. Its driving me nuts! I can't for the life of me figure out what his problem is!
I am a glutton for punishment...
