Good morning, chickies! Once again, thanks for all the support yesterday. I feel so much better today.
Harry is not talking gibberish, by the way, just bizarre statements that make sense to him. For example, "Put plugs in my soda water", meaning put in ice cubes. There is a bit of logic there when you think of popping the cubes out of the tray! Very interesting to see how the brain works. The doc says that the brain circuits will probably get themselves reorganized over time and he will put Harry on something to improve his memory.
So I am carrying on and, yes, I will look after me! I had to opt out of taking friend Betty to the hospital for her second eye operation this morning but friend Claire is doing it. This morning I'll work on my music for tomorrow's lesson, walk the girls and make a huge pot of veggie soup. The salsa tomatoes are going to be in soup au pistou. We can buy salsa but not my yummy soup!
Hi to all the new chickies. I'm going to be pretty tight for time for the next few months so forgive me if I don't welcome everyone individually.
Ruth-- I will keep you and Harry in my thoughts. Good luck. Matching underwear, hm-m-m-m? What a concept! B-T-W, whose underwear do they match? I may have to try that some day. I'm lucky to get by with hole-less undies most days.
Ruth, glad to see Harry's improving, I've been a tad MIA as of late myself, MIL is in the hospital with heart fibrulations, she had a heart attack earlier this year. Have been rather stressed and distracted, but you're right it does put the world in perspective like nothing else. DF is having a very hard time, so right now I'm trying to help him cope and deal with my own issues about it, as we used to live with her for 5 years and we're all very close. You're an inspiriation, thank you.
So with all the stress in the world, still OP, it's actually been easier lately, it's my one little piece of control in the world right now, and I'm hanging on to it with everything. Still exercising too, although a little less, just a 1/2 hour a day as time is truly limited right now.
Karen, so how'd Monday go, any fabulous news we should be screaming from roof tops for you?
Brad, a big whoohoo, although you probably won't get it till you get back, good luck on the trip even though I'm a bit late.
Have a great day everyone, and I will do my best to have the same.
Ruth~ Im glad you and Harry are home. You both are in my thoughts
I know its only been one day on the new plan, but Im very proud of myself Im sore this morning, and it feels great! I want so very badly to succeed at this!
As for the matching undies, only time that happens is on special occasions and for hubby's benefit
I weighed in on Sunday and the scale didn't budge. I was looking over my Fitday entries and I think I am going to try to scale down the calories and maybe a little of the fat. Of course more important I need to exercise. Of course the lack of loss could also be the wine that I had last week. I am still OP and I am not giving up!!
Matching underwear?? I agree with you Karla, strange concept. I am afraid as I've gotten older I will only wear comfy, cotton undies, usually Hanes. I'm sure they are really alluring!!
Congrats Brad!! Karen, I can't wait to hear your update. As much time as you've been at the gym you are probably melting away!!
Good for you Robin !! Isn't strange how feeling bad, can feel so good?! Go Robin.
Well, I might buy matching underwear if I could ever get my top and bottom sizes to match.
This morning I did my Body Flex routine from start to finish and felt really good afterwards. I still can't cross my legs but I just did some extra waist twists while she did that one. Otherwise, no problems. I sure hope this will be the bit of extra motion my body needs to melt some pounds.
Jennifer, you are so right about the more insulin resistant we are, the more exercise we need. Thinking back to when I was first on Atkins back in the70s, I realise that I was much more active in those days. Even rode an old clunker bike around. It does make a difference.
Wakey! Wakey! The Tuesday Daily - Sept. 9
I may have to try that some day. I'm lucky to get by with hole-less undies most days.
