Diabolical machine is telling me I have not joined any groups. Sorry to be a pest, I should have left well alone, sigh.

Hello - woke up with my stomach *off* this morning. I didn't go to church. I've put on layers of clothing, turned up the furnace, have a nice warm throw and a hot cup of tea. Hopefully it's just an off day and not the flu. Time will tell I guess.
Sandy - I ordered Nintendo Wii Console Black with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort and a set of CTA Digital Wii Sports Resort 8-in-1 Sports Pack. Now tell me what you use?? I am thinking of getting Just Dance 2015.
Bob - great job last night. And how wonderful to attend that event with confidence and looking good! Yippee~~! Enjoy your day today.
Anne - hello, I sent you a friend request. Did you have to re-join the Sneakers? Make sure you favorite the threads again.......that should help you get here more easily.
Phoebe - wahoo! I hope you can get more healthful options at the place you mentioned. Every once in a while I go to our oldest health food store and order fresh juice. They have their own mixtures but the one I get has beet, ginger, celery, and other goodies in it. I found a rand at WF called Evolution and it just has juice---no added junk. Do you find things like this when you travel?
Gayla - I am so sorry Owen has been ill. Poor sweetie. Hope he's doing better now.
Marie - looking forward to more pictures of your new little sweetie!! Hope all is well in your part of Texas. I think Judy's weather is lots better. Has she sent you any pictures of flowers this year?
Shirley - you will be so pleased when you've finished your recipe binder projects. Very organized and lots of options when you're ready to cook. And a cruise coming up soon. Lovely.
Has anyone seen Becky lately??
Hugs to all Sneakers. Wishing you the best---working for better health (she says as she sips her tea).

Sandy, you are a genius. I seem to be back to being a nuisance again!
Robby is one beautiful little 6 month old, no wonder you are so proud of him,
Makes up for all of Babes woes don't you think!
Anne
P.s, I was cluttered up with food items I no longer consume, hence the spur of the moment change.0 -
LIN, hope you are better soon and haven't got the dreaded flu or virus. Yes, I got your request, thank you, and yes, I had to join again (I think). Serves me right, I'm not tech. savvy.
Anne.
Everybody else, enjoy your day! I've done enough damage, so I'm off!0 -
Anne, when all rlse fails, I try the help button, sometimes I find how to do the tasks like that.
Sandy, Robby is a sweetheart, someone really got great smiles and even a good laugh from him.♥
Lin, I almost never find good things when traveling. One place has vegetable stir fry that is really just steamed or zapped in the microwave. I have salad and no soy sauce and usually leave the rice. Otherwise, its just junk. Hope you don't have the flu, especially Not the stomach flu! Ill be having tea in a bit, oolong probably, at a Chinese buffet. Not my favorite one, but dh likes it.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Sorry about the not-so-great food you encounter!
I don't know if this is anything that would be interesting but just in case, a friend on MFP mentioned Azure Standard.com as a site for ordering organic foods/items at lower prices and apparently they have a shipping policy where you can pick up items at a drop-off site (if there are any near you). I looked a little bit and many of the items won't work for me as they are not gluten-free. Maybe someone else will find something that suits them.
Meanwhile, I just had some low sodium Miso soup and my stomach is screaming at me again. I do not know what the heck is wrong with it.
Oh, and my brand new smoke detector is doing intermittent chirping again. I've called the handyman who said he'll get back to me in an hour or so..............blast! No naps in my future.
Hope everyone else is doing better~~!

Lin - Feel better friend, maybe all your running around for your Dad's needs is getting to you.
- You could have a low immune system right now. Try and build up the immune system. Have you tried Emergen-C yet? It might help build you up. It's a powered drink you put in water.
-It's my go to when I feel blah or just starting to get sick. We are not going on cruise like
Sandy, we are going to an all inclusive resort.
Lin, I also have the Wii Plus and Wii Sports. You are going to love it. Dave and I just used the
Wii Resort yesterday and played with wake boarding and bowling. The Wii Plus has strength training and Yoga, stepping and of course balance games. This might be just what you need for your ailing feet.
Sandy - Your Robbie is such a cutie. He is growing so fast!
Gayla - Poor little Owen, its so hard seeing the little ones sick.
Anne - Sandy is our go to person when having problems on this site. I hope you can get
back into the swing with us again.
Bob - You did well not over on calories. Our sailing club has a lot of functions and I its always a challenge for me to try and not go over. I have my mind set again this year now to implement it.
Phoebe - It's hard to find good drinks when travelling. Some look good but are full of sugar.
I hope you can find some alternatives.
Well this morning we got up early and finally went downhill skiing. The temp was 15f very cold but it was fun. Good to get out and get the skis and boots on again. I never made it out last
year due to the polar vortex winter and tons of snow. Sometimes we couldn't make it to the
resort due to too much snow. No excuses this year. It will be nice when Dave retires we can go
during the week and sometimes you get the best skiing then and fresh snow.
Now just relaxing and enjoying the rest of the day.

https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/questions/9895638-food-deletion-from-frequent-list
Here is how to delete food items from your frequent list.
Bob, I am going to use my Wii for body test and then experiment with different kinds of exercise. I also like the games that help such as hula hooping, stepping both fast and slow, yoga, all kinds of things. I have many DVD's for exercise that I bought for my Wii system, I just got lazy and stopped using it when things were going bad. I still want to ride my recumbent as well and of course record calories. Wish me luck.

!@#$%^&*()!!! My entire post just disappeared, and it was a long one---full of compliments yet!!!
I just cannot repeat it , so to ANNE and GAYLA, boo-hoo! To everyone else have a fabulous day! To BOB---WOW! Gotta run, but have to admit Robby is a gorgeous guy---naturally!

JERI, if you've been reading my misadventures, I'm afraid I lost you in the process and don't know how to put you back, this is ANNE the late Blueharebell.0

BUZZ, sorry you lost your post. This is the late lamented Blueharebell, now GawanneB. I made such a mess of things I'm wondering if there is a full moon out there! Anne.0
-
Sandy - me bugging you again. Do you have the Fit and balance platform dealie? And I didn't buy the newest thing I guess. Just a Wii
not a mini not a Wii U. I looked online for just a yoga game but couldn't find one today.
Lin0 -
Yes Lin, I have the balance board which I love. It measures my balance as well as my weight. I did 30 minutes of different things on it tonight. Hula hoop, stepping, skiing etc. when I start in the morning again, it will register my weight and BMI. Then I do the balance test. When done it gives me my Wii age, which today was 45. Not bad for an old lady.0

Boy Buzz, I understand completely. You and I excel at this trick. LOL.delraybuzz wrote: »!@#$%^&*()!!! My entire post just disappeared, and it was a long one---full of compliments yet!!!

slept late, walked dogs a lot, went to Costco, did laundry, rode the exercise bike and watched figure skating.....not much time left for the computer. Barbie 0 -
Lin – Thanks. It was a pretty good time. The first band wasn’t too good, but the 2nd was enjoyable – just a tad too loud for the environment. Still – nice to get out a bit. We brought my father-in-law. He is in his mid-80’s and still loves to do fun things.
Shirley – A sailing club sounds like a tough environment for calorie-counting, but I’m sure you will easily handle it…not sure I could.
Sandy – I’ll be reading your Wii updates. I’m using the gym a lot right now & YouTube at home…but I can see Wii in my future.
Buzz- Now that was a good consolidation of thoughts! LOL
Have a great night everyone! Bob

JERI, I believe we are back in business. Will not press any more buttons in the near future.

MORNING FUN:
I have a 40-something niece in LOVE with the Yankees. I always pretend to be a huge Red Sox fan. She posted a Yankee-fan cartoon yesterday and I responded with the same carton and changed the uniform from Yankee to Red Sox. She responded that I was “Officially Cut Off” – all in good fun!
So this morning, I told her that for some reason others thought I had her on my mind throughout breakfast and posted this photo:
[BREAKFAST ( Calories 203) : Organic Strawberries, 38 g; Blueberries Raw 1 oz); Raspberries, 1 oz; Baby Banana, Raw 0.75 oz.; Egglands Best - 1 Egg (50 grams); Sara Lee - 45 Calories & Delightful Healthy Multi-grain Bread, 1 slice; Hormel Foods - Canadian Bacon Thick 1 Slice.]
EXERCISE THIS MORNING:
I went the furthest I have ever done in over 10 years! I burned 402 calories doing 70 minutes of walking at a 3.1 mph pace.
WEIGHT STATUS:
I lost 2 lbs since my last weigh-in! So far – I have lost 181 lbs. – it was nice to pass the 180 mark.

Isn't there anybody on this site who follows Hull City Tigers (soccer) F.L. UK. No I guess not! Lol. Anne.0

Morning,
Bob - Yes, my summer is a food challenge at the best of times. I walk when I am at the
sailing club besides sailing. We also use our bikes and go on the trails around the area.
We do just fine with our eating, its the extra people at our table that want you to try something all the time. That gets frustrating. I talked to Dave about this, this week and I will start saying no with conviction. I started out great guns last summer and then that eating in a group happened again. I just have to be strong. I want to get to my goal this year for sure.
Lin and Sandy - I too have the Wii Fit Plus with the board. I just calculated my weight and BMI last week. So I am working toward a lower BMI. I don't always do the games but I do love the workouts like Yoga and Strength and stepping. There are balance games which are always good to do as we age.
Today was getting my haircut, gassing up the car and doing my laundry. I got 3 miles of Leslie Sasone HIIT workout in and now lunch. Also finishing up laundry. Not much time for computer either.

Shirley, I had the same problem with our RV club....pushy people who wanted us to eat like them. One woman actually put a plate to my face and was very cranky when I told her "No". After all my years of refusing food that I didn't choose, my friends all know that my eating is different and they are used to me. Bob, I have been a NY Yankees fan since I was in fifth grade and figured out what baseball was.....I love your breakfast plate...Your walking is great.....do you have a pedometer? Mine inspires me to keep on walking.
got up early this morning to walk the dogs before an early meeting, then went to the chiropractor, drug store to transfer prescriptions, turned in our ballots, made a bank deposit, did our weekly grocery shopping, and mailed two packages. Now we are relaxing and watching the recording of last night's Screen Actor's Guild Awards. Barbie 0 -
Hello friends, I must say I love all the positive folks here on "sneakers." Where have you all been all my life? As a workout, I am looking around the house seeing accumulated grime from the winter. Instead of exercise bike and bar bells, I will be armed with dust cloth, furniture polish, mops and vacuum cleaner. That should use up a few calories and make me feel better to see clean shiny floors and furniture.
We are looking forward to the super bowl game. I will have a small group over to have a few healthy snacks and cheer for the Seahawks. I live in Oregon so that's our team! I have noticed that life is enriched by deciding to enjoy things. Making the decision to kick up my heels, laugh and be silly. Forgive my philosophic rambling. I am afraid that's me. Happy Monday! Patsy0 -
bob you have such a created mind When it comes to cooking your breakfast plate looks so good. all of your photo looks good.
Phoebe I have put that lunch insulated lunch bag to used. I was having a hard time getting my snacks in so I am preparing them in the morning and store them in my computer and sewing room Where I hang out all day. Came in handy this morning for Jerry was ready to go the store and all I had to do was grab one put it in a plastic bag with spoon and out the door I went Ate if after we to back to the car after grocer shopping. did not throw my eating schedule out of whack too much. Also A friend told me about Vitatops for 100 calories , had to give up my carbs for it But well worth it.so good.
hello to all of you. have a wonderful day.

I'm experimenting since I can't figure out how to post this cartoon. I saved it to My Pictures and can't seem to retrieve it. Senior moments? I think it worked!
Back to Notepad; how do we request the old option of replying in a new window?
ANNE, not sure if this will work for you, but when you finally open this page, can you go to Tools/Internet Options/Homepage/use current....? This will then open your browser to this group, I hope! I am not thrilled with the new format, but perhaps I will love it once I figure it out!
I had more trouble trying to post the cartoon I hope I inserted! Can you go back to Blueharebell??? Keep trying whatever works so we don't lose you!!!
LIN, your post id Greek to me, but I will investigate this old Wii program. I hated to invest the cost, but perhaps I need it now in my dotage!
SANDY---real age 45? How incredible! Right now I feel like 95. went to my leg therapist for the compression pump treatment this morning, only to find I did not have an appointment today. Here I worry about DH, but I think it is I who am losing it!!!
Yeah, JERI, back to old tricks! Keep on truckin', kiddo!
BARBIE, I'm exhausted just reading your post...LOL!
BOB, are YOU a Bostonian? Although I was never into baseball, they seem to feel like my team anyway. All the way back to Ted Williams! (I am 87.7, in case you are wondering. Probably older than you Father-in-law, bless his heart!) I love your breakfast photos. Now why doesn't my meal look as good? (NY was my adopted state much later on)
How come I didn't see my adopted l'il Sis, MARIE, today?
Well, lots to do, including a special card to make for Mike's birthday next week. And, I'll concentrate on getting back to cutting out anything with sugar. It worked and I blew it and gained 3 pounds over 2015! Buzz

Hello All,
Bob - 181 lbs. impressive!!!! Your food photos are great.
Anne - glad to see you are back in business.
BARBIE - pushy people - a pain for sure. Glad you stand up for yourself. My Mom, bless her sweet soul, before I developed food intolerance had hurt feelings at times when her hard work at cooking wasn't appreciated. I guess it's hard to blame someone for that. She was a wonderful cook. LOL
Patsy - you found the right place for sure. I credit MFP for my sustained weight loss. I go up and down a few lbs here and there but I've lost almost 25 lbs and it is gone for good. I'm just a tiny little thing and 25 lbs on me was a lot.
Sandy - that was a terrific age your Wii gave you. !!!!! I didn't get a chance to tell you how much I enjoyed the pictures.
Time to head out for a walk.
Catch you all later.
Jeri

Hi BUZZ, - no, Blueharebell I'm afraid is gone forever, but I'm back in business with you all, and I rather like my new name GawanneB. Doesn't sound so wimpy as little blueharebell. Love your cartoon because it was snowing when I got up at 6 am and it's still snowing at 4.11 pm. Aren't you glad you are in sunny Florida! It's quite deep, and it's going to snow overnight "they" say on the news. So, stuck in, I decided to change all my furniture around, and like you PATSY once I got it moved I liked the new arrangement, so I polished everything in sight and vacuumed etc. I'm fair worn out now. Tomorrow I'm going to Brasso Polish all my copper and brass stuff. Log carrier, horse brasses, candlesticks etc. I guess despite the snow it's spring cleaning and spring fever time. I need a cup of tea!! Hi to everybody, ANNE.0

Sigh......day is over and never did get a call from the handyman about installing a new smoke detector in the basement or a new carbon monoxide detector. Had problems yesterday, he stopped over and said he'd be back today.
I've had another day of on/off Internet connection. Sorry. Hope to get something posted tomorrow. Busy day of little this-es and that-s. Trader Joe's is holding some frozen organic strawberries for me so I'll pick those up tomorrow. Also plan to stop by several banks to try to get some business accomplished. Wednesday will likely be a trip up North to start cleaning out the remainder of my dad's clothes.
Good nite.

Hi to everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. Water is running in the streets from all the melting. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be more seasonal so we will be slip sliding around.
I went to my Dr today and I have bronchitis which was not a surprise. I am feeling pretty much awful! Whine, whine. I am hoping to start feeling better in a few days. Owen was well enough to go to daycare today which was a good thing as I wouldn't have been able to help.
Sandy -- such a happy little cutie.
Lin -- thinking about you. So many things to do and I am guessing you are doing it all. Take care.
Marie -- I hope you get to see your new little sweetie soon.
Phoebe -- how are you two? I expect you are out on the road. Do you still take some cats with you?
I have run out of steam, cough, cough, cough! Be good to one another. Gayla0 -
With a mixture of dread and hope, we will go to the new neurologist today; me for my restless legs (now called Willis Ekbom Disease) and Mike for memory and dementia. I would love to hear it's his mixture of medications!!! I'm still in a state of denial when his actions seem eccentric more than irrational, but we'll explore every possibility before concluding anything!
Everyone affected by this monstrous storm...please remain safely indoors, and we all will follow the news very closely to make sure you are all well!
PATSY!
MARIE, where are you all day today? Let us know you are fabulously fine, luv! We are worrywarts! Buzz 0
