Happy birthday as well, got carried away there!
How do you even get on Facebook? Need serious lessons from 2 sons. ANNE0 -
I'm back, had surgery for a melanoma. Luckily it did not spread, it was on my heel so I can't walk for 2 months so the skin graft will work. I'm fine and anxious to get back on my diet. Have missed you all. I'm in CA. we are having a drought so very little rain this year. but lots of sun even when it's cold

More than happy with my Easter eating – thought I was going to chow down, so I left myself 1419 calories remaining yesterday (that includes 499 extra calories from exercise).
Easter morning I hit the gym and burned another 253 calories so I could hit the buffet table with negative calories.
As it turned out, I just wasn’t in the mood for most of the food. It all boiled down to – “do I REALLY want xyz? or would I rather leave those calories open for later in the day? “
I only made one (1) trip to the buffet table (except for an additional couple ounces of lean ham with all fat removed).
I certainly didn’t eat the $25.00 pp cost.
Sadly, our grandson got sick last night and so not everyone was in attendance. Still, it was an awesome get together and I really think it is sweet of our daughter to pick up the tab as "their treat" each year.
Hope everyone is having a great Easter / Passover / Sunday!

Wish I could say that Bob...I had plain crepes with fresh blueberries and whipped cream and two well done sausage links. Coffee with cream. Going out for dinner with friends later, will not be happy with myself tomorrow.0

I didn't log food or exercise yesterday because of going out of town with my friend and deciding to have a one day break from my usual plans. I always have my pedometer so I know that logged 21,000 steps. The farthest away I got from my usual eating was a 12 inch tuna sandwich on flatbread at Subway. I brought most of my own food and ate only yogurt and granola from the food served at the event. It was late for me by the time we got back and I was exhausted. I woke up not too early and was ready to tackle the day starting with walking the dogs. I did my weight training this morning so I am currently on track with that goal. We don't celebrate Easter so we had none of those challenges today but Jake wanted to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch.....I brought home half of my chicken with broccoli and brown rice and I'll finish it for supper.

PLEASE help if you know how to resize just this one website. Zoom is set on 100% but text runs over as far to the right as I can click! AAGH!
Happy Easter everyone!

Try resetting your zoom to default and see if that helps. I am going to presume you restarted your computer. Hope it helps.0

Hello sneakers, I am ready for bed. It has been a busy and delightful weekend with our son. He came with his two dogs and our two dogs enjoy the visit as much as we do. Our Easter brunch was at home. I was the cook and bottle washer. I fixed salmon quiche, asparagus, sliced fresh strawberries, orange juice and stuffed mushrooms, coffee. All in all not too bad calorie-wise. I used low fat cheese and no cream in the quiche...it did have pie crust however.
I do miss dyeing and hiding eggs. Maybe someday I will have another grand baby. I think you new grandmothers are fully aware how fortunate you are right now. There is nothing else quite like it, is there?
We had a bit of rain...and a bit of sun. With the drought in several western states I an grateful for the water. Our flower beds are in sad condition. Needs a good raking and weeding. That will happen as the weather gets better.
Now I need to get back to business. I think the newest phrase is...."Lean In." I need to lean in on my weight lose program. Little by little it is possible for me to just slip back to ground zero. Found an exercise partner and I'll be looking into seeing the nutritionist for a better plan. The calories suggested by MFP are for normal people!!!! Not crazy ladies who only exercise when a loaded gun is pointed at her head. Reading about you all and your step counts, I also got a step counter. My husband and son were laughing and when they looked at it they said, " this thing thinks maybe you are in a coma!" Get moving or someone will dial 911.
Oh dear!

Buzz - I had the same problem. I tried posting at the end and couldn't find it
because it was over half the page. Try going out of the program and enter in again.
That fixed it for me.
Back on track today with food and exercise. Just got back from Yoga and visited my MIL for a while. I will try and rake the yard and do some clean up. A laundry day today too.
Dave is enjoying his retirement so far. Today is our 41st anniversary but no plans. We have had a lot of celebrating already.
Shirley0 -
Buzz, does holding the ctrl key and tapping the minus sign work?
Hello all. Cool sunny day in California. Take care
Phoebe0 -
Shirley and Dave...happy anniversary. Wonderful times ahead! Our anniversary was last Friday and We have been retired a few years now. We look back often but really enjoy where we are now.
Lin: travel safely, my friend. I hope this will not be too painful for you.
To the new grandmothers...enjoy! Share photos when possible!
Bob: wow! You were showing supernatural strength in avoiding temptation at the Easter Brunch. You remind me of superman...do you have a food related "kriptonite"?
Anne: hope you will share your newest artistic efforts. I will do the same.
Company is gone now. I have a mountain of laundry. The usual thing after visitors, towels, sheets pillowcases and napkins, tablecloth and socks (?) I don't understand it either. We only have two feet but there are what seems like dozens of dirty socks!

FIRST: Shirley – Happy Belated Birthday…AND….congrats on the birth of Isaac…what a beautiful gift. Loved the photo. As the saying goes - "There's nothing like a grandchild to put a smile on your face, a lump in your throat, and a warm feeling in your heart."
Status:
I had my official weekly I weigh-in this morning: “lost 2 lbs since his last weigh-in! Nikonpal's lost 199 lbs so far.”
Don’t ya think I could have eeked out 1 more pound for an even 200? LOL. I’m going to hit it eventually – but really not sure I’ll stay there. I’m below my goal already and well below anything I have weighed in 20 years. Where I finally end up will depend more on the mirror after I increase strength work-out & maintain weight for the balance of 2015. I’m gonna lose that 1 pound for now…just because it’s there. LOL
Started today with – burning 331 calories doing 61 minutes of cardio.
As previously mentioned - tomorrow I have my rheumatologist appointment and then head for Rochester on Thursday.
My wife got a call from my ophthalmologist’s office today. He injured himself and will be out 2 months, so I had to re-schedule with someone else in the office. This dr doesn’t know it but we exercise at the same gym and I had been looking forward to some “fun.” I’m required to see him at least 1 @ year because of one of my meds – amiodarone that I was taking for years. http://www.drugs.com/amiodarone.html I have been taken off it since my last visit with him, because it isn’t a safe long-term drug. My cardiologist said it was a drug “Satin” would make LOL.
Sandy – I’m glad “plain crepes with fresh blueberries and whipped cream and two well done sausage links” were not the table. No crepes or blueberries and the sausage was greasy looking and not well-done – so it was easy to pass up.
Shirley – Isn’t it funny how the older we get the need to “party” because we are expected to, sort of passes. I mean we do a lot of fun celebrations but will often say “we just did this or that and let’s wait until…” Congrats on the anniversary.
Patsy – That is one healthy brunch you cooked up! Next year I designate your son & husband as interim bottle washers.
And yes – I do have a Kryptonite food with a calorie radioactive element. There is a certain pizza in town I only eat when someone else buys it. It is well known as one of the best in town. I can say “no” to all other pizza – but in my pre-2013 past I could order and eat and entire pizza by myself (of course, I split it between dinner and TV eating LOL). This place has been in business for decades. (photos from 2006 I tormented someone with).
And I’ll end here with that bit of “food confession”.

Hi, I've tried everything suggested but to no avail! PHOEBE, your suggestion brought my zoom level to 75%, which is difficult to read SANDY, my zoom doesn't show default but I used custom at 86% and will have to lower it again. I've logged out, used different methods of logging in, and nothing changes. It's only this website, so maybe it's trying to tell me something! Makes reading posts very frustrating, sigh!
I will attempt again tomorrow as I'm way behind, as usual! love you all! Couldn't even locate the "Post Reply " button !!! Buzz 0 -
PATSY, well I started painting and I can promise you I won't be sharing my "artistic efforts" with you in the near future! I was all gung ho, and got a fairly decent sky and clouds sloshed on the canvas when I discovered nearly all my paints had dried out. Why? Tube tops all fastened tightly. It's difficult to get to the art store from where I live, and I will have to get one of the sons to drive me there. Mark tried on Sunday after picking up hot cross buns, but of course, not surprisingly, the art store was closed. Apart from that I am simply not good enough to post! However, I will continue to try because I love trying and getting covered in paint, just the same as when I bake, flour in that case! Your EASTER dinner sounded scrumptious by the way. Anyway, I'm thinking "bluebell wood" now, and especially after JACKIES video. I should include George!! Immortalize him! Poor George!
BUZZ, I DO sympathize with you. I once used Pitmans shorthand, and I think that was a darn sight easier than this instant stuff, zooming in and out, and what have you! Nobody else could read shorthand either which had its uses.
Loved all the posts, and all the happy good news. Everyone seems to have had a lovely EASTER including yours truly who got to see Cinders the wonder pup.

I had to show you my anniversary flowers. John really knows the way to my heart!
He has been my sweetheart all my life.

The only solution I know to the problem of the text running too far across the page is to use Google Chrome....when I use internet explorer I have the problem on any page that has a posted photo...apparently on Internet Explorer, the picture doesn't resize so it expands the whole page. MFP has been informed of the problem but who knows how long it will take to be resolved. 0
-
WooHoo! I think MFP staff just responded to my pleas for help and fixed the view for me. The last couple of posts look almost normal!!! I'm in the midst of communicating with
The MyFitnessPal Customer Happiness Team to let them know how we all appreciate their management! Maybe I'll be able to figure out the posts tomorrow. I did see SHIRLEY's wonderful news, but little else tonight! Miss you all! Buzz
