Good morning all. Cool today here. I love this fall weather. I'm snuggled in my chair with a blanket and the dog laying on me snoring away. Trying to figure what all I've got to today. Like laundry and cleaning. Need to figure whats for dinner.

Solly- My gosh thats something what your doctor said. What are you supposed to do with Brain bleed? Wonder what your RA is going to say about the celebrex. Hope you can get your sleep apena under control. Keep up the fight girl, you can do it.....hugs...

Ellen- Pot luck sounds fun. My DH would love the Tikka sauce. He loves spicy. I made enchilada's with hot enchilada sauce last night.

Well off to finish my coffee and make breakfast.

Steve grilled chicken legs tonight and I had that with a combo of broccoli and cauliflower. Should have made a salad but I'm having trouble with a salad dressing thats easy and I like. Sure finding more and more things I've been buying with corn syrup in them. Can you believe its in Mott's applesauce. Started reading the China Study so I've got two books going. Beautiful day today. I loved having the front door open.

Ellen- Good thing your chiro worked with you. I hope it helped. Did you miss meat when you were eating vegan? I've been wanting to ate more veggies and less meat to my diet.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Good morning. Boy am I glad it is Friday. Thought it would never get here. Work is slow and I am so bored and all I want to do is eat.

Last night we went my DD and looked at 3 cars. I think she is going again tonight and we have to meet the lease agent tomorrow. She may buy one as my SIL know the VP and he can get her a good deal. I would like for her to get out from under that lease.

I don't have any other plans for the weekend, thank goodness. We may take the baby to Trick & Treat at the Elks tomorrow night. My DD doesn't want to go so they can go eat in peace while we take him. He is going to be Mickey Mouse as he just loves him right now. He says "Teet Teet" for T&T and "Booooo" is what the witch says. I get such a kick out of him. I think we are going to see their land sometime tomorrow too.

Ellen, I thought ice would help. It got rid of mine very quickly. Just keep rolling your foot over it while you are on the computer or watching tv. Good job getting your menhus planned for 2 weeks. I will have to check your latest score on BB.

Toni, My doggie sits on my DH's lap unless I am the only one home. He likes him best, but yet, I feed him all the time. It sure was cold here this morning but supposed to warm up. We had grilled chicken legs wed night for dinner. Tasted pretty good to me.

Crystle, you are probably out walking or doing a tape. Have a great weekend.

Mecee, I know you are hard at work, have a good one.

Everyone have a great weekend. I may be back.

Hello Ladies:

Just wanted to check in . I'm doing well but I am very busy at work working on a major project. No time for replies. Have a great weekend. I should be back to normal by next wek. I am still getting my workouts in no matter how late it is. ( I went to the gym one night at 9;30p.m.) Talk to you later.

Toni...I eat a lot less meat but when I want it I want it..LOL Last night I ate over 4 ounces of London broil. It was good but I was stuffed! The night before I didn't have meat I had chick peas and whole wheat pasta with a tad of light Italian dressing on it. I was also full after that.

Ellen...Wow you got up early. Sounds like nap day to me. I think it is great you can make menus. I've tried in the past but I am a wake up and decide kinda gal. My son just asked what was for dinner. I said I don't know something with hamburger. LOL He is thinking we need burgers. I have found by the time I weigh out 4 ounces for a burger for myself it is so tiny that it doesn't even look like a burger when it is done. So not sure what I'll have. Maybe a taco salad. What did you find for breakfast? I really like the fiber one cereal but I found that it has aspertame in it so now I really don't want to eat it. I'll finish the box eventually but I probably won't buy it again.

Solly...you grand baby sounds so precious. I'm not doing anything yet this morning. I'm being a tad motivation challenged. Drinking my water thinking of getting dressed. Hope you have a blessed and restful weekend.

Mercee...you are the woman! At 9:30 I am useless.

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle

Good morning. Got up later than I wanted to but I stayed up late last night. Wish I wouldn't have done that. I feel draggy now. I'm getting hungry and will have to hunt down food soon. Need to catch up the laundry and stuff today. And get ready for the week end.

Ellen- Thank you so much for talking to me about the China Study. I'm disappointed with it and don't know now if I want to finish reading it. I really think I know how to eat but not doing it right is my downfall. I love the idea of the meal plans. Think after I get off here I'll go take that quiz. Thanks so much for talking to me about this.

Solly-How fun to take the Grandson trick or treating. I miss having little ones come to the door since we live in the country instead of in town. DH has Jackson on his lap now. He loves DH lap. Have a good week end.

Crystle- I need to have some meatless meals too. Chick peas and whole pasta sounds good. And so does the taco salad. I love mexican food. Think I'll be having the leftover enchiladas for breakfast.

Mercee- Sounds like you're crazy busy. Good for you and the workouts.

Happy Saturday morning everyone. Hope you all slept good last night. Its a beautiful day here so far. We're waiting for rain here. Don't know what I'm doing yet today. But right now having a nice cup of coffee. Should get up and make oatmeal.

Ellen- Hope you slept good last night. Its miserable not sleeping. That sure sounds like a good price on the paintings. I would pay it in a minute.

Will check back in later.

Happy Sunday..... Hope everyone is having a good week end.

Good Morning! Hope you can hear me, I am at the rock bottom. I am miserable and it usually takes me to hit bottom before I can do anything so here I go. I totally think I am ready. I had a protein shake for breakfast and I have some Greek yogurt and fruit for a snack. For lunch I am going to try another protein shake and fruite. Diner is tortalinni and a salad. My DD wants to try the diabetes diet which I believe is pretty much the same as SB. I may do some research on it later.

Ellen if you have any info on the diabetes diet, I would appreciate it. Sounds like you are going to be a perfect fit for your new church. What a better job for you as a cooking mentor. I think you should do a grouping of yoru kitchen veggies. Those onions are so real. A group of items would look cute in a kitchen.

Toni, we got a lttle rain this morning but not near enough. It is supposed to warm up to 80 here today. I think it will be cooler the rest of the week.

Crystle, hope you had a good weekend. We did lots around the house yesterday, grocery, cleaning, dog bathing, cleaned out closets, & laundry I am paying for it today. I am stiff & sore all over.

Mecee, Good luck on your project. I hate those kinds.

Saturday I was not dizzy at all. I was so excited. Yesterdya at the grocery I raised my arm to get somethng off the top shelf and got dizzy. I was so dissappointed. I thought it might be gone. Was not too dizzy the rest of the day. So I will see what work brings today. I have a crick on my shoulder, I must have slept on it wrong.

I really need you guys for motivation. You really help me so much. Thanks for always being here for me no matter what. You are so important to me. I love you guys.

Good late morning everyone. I think you all got the rain that we were supposed to get and the weatherman promised. It was a lazy week end. And I sort of wish I would have got busy with something. Today I need to get moving. One of the things I need to do is go to the grocery store today and the post office.


Solly- I can really understand where you are. I've been in a slump for so long now. And I don't know how to crawl out of this. You know how to lose, you're and expert on it after all these years. You've just got to get motivated and start off 1 day or 1 hour at a time. Each day will make you stronger. Set a mini goal for your self. YOU CAN DO THIS..... I'm so happy each day you get better. So make it a celebration new health and now new eating. End up this year on a high note.

Ellen- I've gotten so lazy with my cooking I haven't done the Indian dish yet but I will get to it. I've got everything to do it with. That cooking class sounds so wonderful. What a shame that lady doesn't like Indian food. I would run all the way to have someone teach me. I love different foods. My thing is I've gotten out of my love of cooking and just want to do something easy and quick. It makes such a difference. And of course in an old country town population 600 its hard to find stuff to cook with. Enough excuses. Hope you get to cook Chinese in that class. You can bring so much to the class.

Hi Mercee and Crystle.....

Off to finish coffee.
