MKay, I had halibut, vegis, and cottage cheese with lentil soup. So good. I will consider that meal as a test drive for next week, we are leaving on the 6th and won't be back until the 10th. Phase I ends for me on Tuesday so at least I won't have such a restrictive eating plan but still I must be very very careful. I was sitting with friends last night at the restaurant while they had their dinner and they had ice cream after dinner, offered me a bite and I said no thank you. What I found is that I have done so well staying on program that the thought of even putting a sugary treat in my mouth frightened me a little because I know the devastation it can cause for me.

My dogs are going crazy playng this morning because it is cool outside for them. Thankfully it is only supposed to get about 88 degrees today.

Michele, I am so sorry all that pain is back. I think you need a except it would probably hurt. Have you considering an acupuncturist? That is what did it for me when I strained my lower back and spent the summer crippled up.

Wilma, great job on exercising four times this week. Today will make three for me and that was my beginning goal.

Gary, I know all too well the adventures of puppy dogs. We showed and raised Bull Terriers for 16 years. Now because of the fibromyalgia I am switching to Boston Terriers because of their smaller size. I also remember what my son's yard used to look like before he got his retreiver.

Hello to everyone else. I hope everyone has a great day today.

Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.


Alice was right: Doug had been doing his diet halfway. His heart hadn't really been in it, and Alice asked him why he was even doing it at all. Now, he felt he was ready. Alice had offered the challenge, and he aimed to take her up on it. No more halfway measures: he was going to throw all his energy and commitment into losing some weight. God wants us to mean what we say. Our yes must mean yes, and our no must mean no. Whatever we choose to do, we ought to do it fully, for God wants children with commitment and resolve, not indecision and insincerity.
Today's thought: My diet is an all-or-nothing proposition!

Hello I am home alone? Can you belive that! I am sorry again I have been MIA this summer is flying by. I am asking for prayer for one of my Supervisors she is having surgery tueday she has stage 3 cancer in the female areas. She had no real clue anything was wrong and about 6 weeks ago she was feeling bad and I thought she might of had a cycst so she went to the dr. and was told she had cancer. She is 45 and her name is Billie Jo. I have been working with a diabetic nurse and dietican. And I now have a meal plan to work on. I am also going to start working out 3x a week.
Mkay I like doing jewlery making also but nothing fancy. Do you make the link charms? I have been buying those on Ebay.
Bunna-I have to ask how did you pick your name? It is so cute.
Ez-I hear you! My puppy is more work than my kids.
Sprout-How are you doing? Do you have anything I can share with my supervisor that can bring her hope? I know you have gone through a lot also.
Donna-How is Joe? I am glad your roof is getting done. I am still going to get the name of the meds for IBS my friends keep talking about. One thing I did learn when talking to the dietican is all sugarfree food are flavored with the samething used in laxtives. I knew that was true in the sugarfree candies but I didn't realize the foods were. That could be why when I thought I was doing so well I suffered so bad.
Michele sorry to hear your feeling bad again. Have you ask if you might have fibromyalgia? I have to sleep with a feather mattress and pillows. because any hard or semi hard mattress kills me. I can tell in the morning where my pressure points were.
Wilma I am praying that next Sat. I can say the samething! My red room is so nice! my couch and loveseat in that room is kind of a moss green and looks great with the barn red room.

I am praying for all of you.

hi all, think i was hit with the flu bad. Have a really bad sore throat and my head aches and my skin hurts.... I didn't make it to work this a.m. i was so miserable. After having a bit to eat and some ibuprofen i think it's helped with fever and body aches. I'm so tired of being sick........ yes sami i did look into fibromyalgia but i've never asked a dr. about it. I have too much going on now to worry about that. i guess at this point i'm not sure i'd want to know. more later, have to get back to bed...
