TEJAS I will probably just use my bleach. I took a food handlers class one time. And the guy said you could use bleach. Dont need much. And then rinse real good.
I will be back on track tomorrow. Or I hope I can make it there.
So keeping my fingers crossed.
Have a good night.

I've been pretty off plan so far this week. Not sure what's up. I did get a walk in Sun before church and heading out to my folks, and another on Monday night, but yesterday it was rainy out and dh had his chemo so I didn't make it to the gym. Not sure why his having chemo drains me but we come home and I just want to veg. Did make dinner as planned tho so that was good I really just wanted to order out pizza. I've got pt this afternoon then take the dog for a walk and go to water exercise since I missed last night. I may regret going two days in a row but I really don't want to miss a night again this week. We'll see.
Vicki - Congrats on the loss
Coco - Don't give up although I know how you feel.
everyone else -
Gotta go grab lunch before PT. Have a great day everyone.
Hi Everyone
It is a rainy dreary day here.
Not much going on.
Hubby's Dr went ok. Going to try a cholesterol med on hubby. Cholesterol is still 277. LDL was 200. I forget what the HDL was. The triglycerides were 177 I think. She mailed me the paper. So will be able to tell you in the next couple of days for sure. But she called a little bit ago. And said she wanted hubby to try this med. I think it is called mevacor. Then he has to go back in 3 weeks to have a potassium level recheck. Said it was up a little. So will have to wait and see about that.
Thanks for the pep talk girls.
Well I got to go.
Have a couple of things I have to get done.
But just wanted to check in for a few.
Will be back later.

Coco, to help you get back on track. Now will you send me some? I'm having a horrible time getting myself motivated.
Vickie, do you eat JC bfasts or do you have something else? I was wondering about that and if you eat JC 2 or 3 meals a day. What is the rest of the day like? Do you have JC snacks?
Sandra, I eat oatmeal or shredded wheat for breakfast every day with 1/3 cup blueberries, and 8 oz skim. It's very Core.
Mid morning I have a fruit and a piece of string cheese.
Lunch is a JC lunch and a nice salad with 1 ounce of broiled chicken breast and 2T light salad dressing.
In the afternoon I have another fruit and milk. Usually, it's one of my smoothies that I used to make on Core with the SF FF pudding. I only use 1/4 of the package instead of 1/2.
Then dinner is a JC entree, 1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh steamed veggies, 1 T smart balance light, and 1/4 cup homemade applesauce.
Dessert last week was a SBD high protein cereal bar and 8 oz skim.
If I'm still hungry after dinner...I'm still a big girl ya know...I have a cup of WW zero point soup. I make a big pot and freeze it for me and Jim.
This all comes out to between 1600 and 1700 calories a day. I love the JC breakfasts and desserts but they had real sugar in them....and a lot of sugar. I just couldn't eat them.
BTW, I'm having an MRI on Sunday morning and I'm scared about the test and the results. If you are the praying kind....could you say a couple of prayers for me? If not, could you hold some good thoughts?
Vickie, I will definitely be praying for you. I hope you get good results. What are they checking you for? Thank you for letting me know about the JC plan. Yesterday I bought a copy of the Biggest Loser Diet. I'm going to read it later this week and possibly start it Monday. I need something different. (Even though I doubt it's very different from WW.)
Hi there
Just getting back on here.
VICKIE hope everything is ok. You will be in my prayers.
ONTARGET I will try to help you get back on track. But I have to get there myself. I started out good today. then the Dr called again. And things went downhill from there. And I know the food dont help anything. But at the moment it felt good eating it. but now I have guilt for eating what I shouldnt have. I had a little debbie brownie and a chocolate chip cookie. I hadnt had one of those brownies in forever. Son had got some for his bucket. And I was getting it packed for tomorrow. So I ate one. And now I feel awful. But it is too late to regret it. I will have to let it go. And start over in the morning. Today. I even packed us something to eat. and took to the Dr's. Cause knew hubby would want something to eat. Because he had to fast. So took us a sandwich made on a arnolds thin, a 60 calorie pudding, and a south beach snack bar. I bought coffee at the hospital cafateria. I was proud of myself then. But not now. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day. Sorry I rambled.
BEACHBUM hope you are doing ok. Enjoying your company.
TECHALUM You know when I would sit around like that. I was more tired then if I had worked all day. Dont know what it is. But I guess maybe we get more tense and stressed then we realize. I know just going and sitting in the DR office. I'm like. All I have been doing is sitting. But why am I tired. Never have really figured it out. Hope everything went ok. Hope hubby is doing ok. Hope PT went well.
TEJAS How are you doing. Hope you had a great day.
BLESSEDWITHSARAH hows the new lenses doing. I go tomorrow to get my eyes checked.
Well I am going to get off here. Hope everyone had a good day.
Thinking of each of you.
coco
Well, I think we get tired when our loved ones are sick and in treatment for one simple reason: it's scarey as it can be!
Vickie and Tech: good thoughts and prayers for both of you are headed your way. Life can really put us through the wringer, can't it.
I did not too badly today. I did have a piece of carrot cake with a friend, but everything else all day long was Core. I've also been drinking a lot more water when I feel hungry and that really helps.
Hope you all have a good night...I guess you all heard about or heard that woman on Britain Has Talent..amazing.
ONTARGET Well I need a big fan to blow the dust off for today. I had a JR Whopper and some onion rings today. But then a Lean Cuisine dinner for supper. But was too late with the Burger King food. But I was upset. And again I let my emotions get in the way. Hubby had a DR appt yesterday. Well DR had been talking about trying another kind of cholesterol med. on him if his counts didnt come down anymore. Well they didnt. She had told us before what med she was going to us. So hubby and I had looked it up. Well he was on another med. And it said not to take the new med and the old med together. So I questioned her about it. Said it wouldnt hurt to take them together. So today before I got the new pill filled. I asked the pharmacist about it. She said NO. He cant take them together. So we are stopping the old med. And going to go with the new med. Does that all make sense. So anyway. I let it get to me. Said there could be serious side effects if taken together. I am glad that I looked this up. And then questioned.
BEACHBUM hope you are doing ok. Thinking of you.
VICKIE how are you. We are doing ok.
TECHALUM Hope things are going ok.
TEJAS Hope things are going ok for you too.
Well I went to the eye Dr today. Guess what. Got to get glasses. I had some that I used for reading. But they werent just right. But now I will have some that will be. I hope. The only thing is I will have to wear them all the time now. And the DR wanted to get progressive lenses and anti glare. Said it will take a little bit of time to get them. Guess I should get them in a couple of weeks. Boy are those things expensive.
Well I better get off here. Hope everyone had a great day.
thinking of each of you.

Kathy. I'm going to be super impressed if you get caught up. But then I guess we're like a soap opera, aren't we?
