    Hello, everyone. We have a gym buddies breakfast the second Sunday of each month and those who can come to Golden Corral for food and conversation. Had a lively bunch this am!!! We were there over 2hrs.

    Did some long needed trimming of the boxwoods and other greenery in front of the house today; DH cleaned out the rain gutters and rinsed the back of the house down. Bought a couple grape tomato plants---every year I swear I'm not going to do tomatoes and every year I do. We just have so much shade, I have to keep them in pots and drag them around the yard just to give them some sun; four moves a day and it gets a bit much........and here I am doing it again.

    Tried to gas up the PT Cruiser today on the way home from breakfast and found a wasp nest when I opened the cover to get to the gas cap. Why do they love that car so much??? Mystery to me. Removed and squashed!!!

    NosodaO........Suze Orman fan here too---one smart cookie who built herself up from nothing, seems very down to earth

    Meg........hope you are drier today; love the shirt

    Connie.........you might try your local library for online genealogy research, mine suscribes to Ancestry for us to use; in one visit I took my dad's family back to the 1700's.......they seemed to go back and forth between Wales and England a lot

    Joy...........just let me say----NO WAY!!!!! still waiting on that china cabinet to be delivered, now it's "possibly tomorrow"

    DeeDee.......hope you ruled the roost with the boys today

    Heather...........congrats on your NSVs!! Will keep my fingers crossed that you absolutely stun at your SIL's party

    Lizplus.........hoping for only good days for your sister

    Joyce......I'm up and down too, a bit here and there until it settles in to the new number

    Cheryl..........good to see Jackson looking so well.......I tuned in to a discussion once on PBS and one of the participants said that if alcohol was just discovered today, it would be classified as a class II narcotic; sure gave me a jolt........I didn't drink much in the first place but that pretty much did it for me.........I wouldn't dream of taking demerol to relax; even just to take the edge off so why would I do it with alcohol........but prohibition (SP?) sure didn't work.....no answers here.....I have heard they are trying to lower the DUI level nationally again.

    Soon to bed here, g'nite all,

    Joyce: I hope the scale is kind to all of us tomorrow. It sounds like you did a great job ordering at Steak & Shake. You won a big one there. If it doesn’t pay off at the scale tomorrow, it will show up as a payoff on another day.:bigsmile:

    Connie: It sounds like your daughter had a very good experience with acupuncture. DH has been using it for his MS for a couple of years in lieu of other MS treatment because he was unwilling to take shots. Now he is adding MS drug therapy (pills) to his routine, but he won’t be dropping the acupuncture.:love: It has value.:flowerforyou:

    Michelle: I am in awe of your self-control. If I baked as often as you I would eat most of the goodies myself and be too big to get through the door. It is the smell of the treats baking that totally wrecks my self-control, although I’ve also been known to eat the batter or raw dough. :noway: I baked sweet potato biscuits a few weeks ago and managed to behave pretty well. No errant snacking and I counted every last calorie. I’ll bake them again one of these days. They were good.:flowerforyou:


    We drove out to the coast today and went to Sunday Market in Astoria, OR. :bigsmile: It is about 60 miles from here. Sunday Market is set up over several city blocks and features farm produce, nursery stock, food booths, & crafts, including furniture, fiber arts, and a lot of jewelry. It was more crowded than I’ve ever seen it and people were in some sort of mental fog. They’d stop right in front of you, or walk into you if you’d stopped to avoid someone else.:grumble: Maybe it was the combination of spring fever, a nice day and a street fair. We didn’t want the food offered at Sunday Market so we went to a local restaurant for seafood. I counted every calorie and still have enough for dinner if I don’t pig out. It was a fun outing.:bigsmile:

    June goals:
    1. Log every bite
    2. Move more.

    Greetings to all my friends! Rainy day here in Omaha; we went to church then stopped by an auction to check it out and it was kind of junky stuff, so we drove around looking for a new or newish place for brunch and ended up at Jimmy’s Egg which is kind of like Perkins but they have some unusual breakfast items. I got my walk in and am over 6500 steps at 7 pm so that’s doing ok. I have increased the walking distance. Going all the way around the neighborhood is 1.05 miles, and I go around the back block once more, so it’s probably 1.4 miles total now. I haven’t done very well on the water though! Ugh…seems like one thing goes well and three other things aren’t so hot. We hung some photographs and then it was time for baseball. That’s my Sunday night treat.:happy:

    Well on the DD#1 front, she now has 2 new jobs. Dear God she can’t keep one straight; I’m worried this will be a disaster. She is hosting at Summer Kitchen Café and going to be serving at IHOP. That will be the disaster; she won’t be able to get anyone’s order correct and won’t handle complaints well. She has been very witchy lately too. I’m just so exhausted dealing with her.:yawn:

    Barbie: wow your activity levels never cease to amaze me! Is it time for a new dishwasher?

    Joyce: yay for your 7000 steps. You are doing so well! Don’t be disgusted at the weight. You are making wonderful changes in
    your life and they will make a difference!!!:flowerforyou:

    Eileen: hope you had fun with your company. Please send us some of your sunshine!

    Carol: such good news about Jackson and so good to see him. I’m with you though….didn’t anyone tell him about the alcohol involved in the crash? Did anyone say anything to him at the party when he was drinking?

    Michele: sounds like you had a limey time in your kitchen!

    Connie: well that sounds frustrating to try to work with those sites!

    Terri: great nsv! Good choices!

    Geri: welcome back. I can’t wait to hear about your vacation!

    Annasan: what a pretty name. Welcome. Be sure to eat your calories and get enough protein to help your metabolism. Also eating small frequent meals helps.

    Viv: it’s always nice to see you! I know what you mean about that treadmill and I hate that feeling!

    Grandmadgege; I love Key West; it’s my favorite place in the whole world! :heart: I’m jealous of your trip.

    Heather: sounds like you are doing great. I love the idea of having a mental image of being cheered on. I’m going to try that one myself.

    DebA: so nice to hear from you again. Sorry about the stress at your job.

    Joy: I almost fainted when I saw your pic! MOG I mean OMG!!!!! I’m amazed!!!! Not only at the calories you burned but at your bravery. I would never venture out on that rock!

    DeeDee : I’m still working on the arc. We had another inch of rain today. Good news is that eastern NE is out of the drought.

    Fizzfizz: welcome to you. Sorry to hear about your knee. Are you from the uk?

    Liz: so sorry about the news your SS got. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers(((hugs))).

    Jb: never thought about processing herbs with olive oil and freezing them. What a great idea.

    Katla: wow your seminar sounded jam packed with great information!

    Pat: such great insight! I love your plan and how you are being proactive! I find myself doing that sometimes too…wanted people to leave me alone when I really need more interaction. Funny how we are wired to do those things!

    Well I hope I get this posted before the new thread rolls over. Take care everyone, Meg from rainy Omaha

    PS GOOD GRIEF!!! How did we get nearly an entire page on the new thread while I was writing! My goodness we are a busy busy bunch!

    Hello Friends,
    I have just caught up on the posts for past 3 days. WoW? Did we hit page 2 in record time or what? :laugh:

    I count myself among those of us who went off the wagon in past 2 days. :explode: No excuses. I paid for it on the scale, and also lost out on a nice weekend day at home. Seems I must have had some kind of ‘food hangover’ after taking my DH for a birthday dinner at Bonefish Grill. The next morning I went to the gym, but instead of getting energized, I felt sleepy. Came back and told DH I was going to take a nap. Slept for 8 hours straight! :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: Rare for me.

    Today I have been scrambling to catch up on exercise, housework, grocery shopping, PetSmart, plant care and clearing off my desk in preparation for another grueling week at work. :glasses:

    My affirmation of the day: “I treat my body in a respectful way and I do not eat when my body does not need food.” :flowerforyou:

    June Goals:
    80 oz of water per day (so far, doing well) :smile:
    3-5 servings of vegetables daily (not quite hitting this daily) :wink:
    Log every day, even on the road (better) :blushing:
    Drop 2 pounds (can you hear me groaning????) :ohwell:
    Nourish my mind and my faith with daily positive affirmations (on it!) :love: :love: :love:

    Good Evening! :flowerforyou:

    Not much new to report here but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Didn't get planting done but did get a bunch of walking in and DH and I grilled out for the first time this year. We did go watch water skiing at the river by us Friday night which was quite enjoyable especially since we usually just stay home Friday night, since my DH is usually wiped out from work. He actually suggested it and it was an absolutely gorgeous evening! :happy:

    Mightyold-I think I'm going to get The WheatBelly Book you mentioned. That's great that the pain is gone in your knees and hips!! I haven't eliminated anything totally yet but have really scaled back on bread and only use milk in cereal but am thinking about switching to Silk Almond milk.

    Amanda-Glad your dad is doing better!!

    Heather-Great NSV! My son (25) is a horrible communicator too! He's been gone for almost 2yrs (moved 8 hrs. away when he got married) and I'm lucky if we have a 5-10 min. conversation once every two to three weeks. Just always pray that he's happy.

    Joy-Awesome picture! I would never have the guts to do that!

    Liz-Sorry for all the pain you are going through! Keeping you and your family in my prayers!

    JB-I so agree with you that we need to be kind to ourselves, learn from mistakes and forgive ourselves, then move on!!

    Katla- Would love to hear more, the seminar sounded quite interesting!

    Joyce- I fluctuate up and down a few pounds all the time. Try not to get discouraged! :flowerforyou: Kudos for not having a shake, it's not easy when others around you have treats, I know!!

    Finally caught up, welcome to those to you just joining us, off to stretch because my calf is still really tight (again):frown:

    Hugs to all!:flowerforyou:

    :flowerforyou: Good morning

    :grumble: Feel very tired and stressed this morning. I wanted to get a good nights sleep last night because I am on my own at work this week and was woken by DH in the early hours - he was very restless and fidgety , I felt like I was on a trampoline! I know he can't help it, so I decided to sleep on the sofa downstairs. All was well until 4:45 a.m. when I heard him getting up, he was so noisy! :angry: His response was he didn't know what time it was and because I wasn't in bed he thought it was time to get up :explode: :explode: :angry: Why can't he get up quietly if he doesn't know what time it is :grumble:

    Needless to say I have a stress headache now. I hate feeling like this, I try not to get stressed when I'm on my own at work, because we have this "no blame" culture :noway: but we still have all our mistakes logged and scrutinised "what can we do to make sure this mistake doesn't happen again etc?" I'm so scared of making mistakes that I make mistakes! No blame culture Hah - even if no names are mentioned they usually know who it is if it's an admin error, plus it makes me feel so stupid and demotivated having to report that I've made an error!

    Sorry for the rant - hormones and being tired are making me really crabby.

    Better get a move on as I don't want to be late - it would only add to my stress :bigsmile:

    Have a good day :heart:

  • Good morning beautiful ladies from a sunny Wales! Making the most of it as this might be summer!

    Back posting after a weekend looking after three of the GC. DD took DSIL away for a surprise weekend for his birthday and their wedding anniversary,. First time she has left them for so long, but we had an amazing weekend! Went for a long walk to the beach - the horses in the meadow were very funny thinking we were going to feed them and tried to steal the babies blanket ( he was walking) What is it about me and animals? ( some of you may remember the cow incident!!)

    There are so many footpaths that I took the older girls home a different way, whilst my husband took the baby back home. We had to cross the stream twice and the view over the valley is beautiful. The youngest GD ran up the very steep hill and the eldest remarked the climb was worth the view. I am so delighted that they appreciate a good walk and the beauty of the countryside.

    The eldest came straight home and worked on a story inspired by her walk - I said I would type it up today!

    Michele you are working so hard on your landscaping - it will look amazing!

    Katia - sounds like you had a great time at the seafood restaurant!

    Meg - hang in there with your daughter - there is evidence that teenagers brains are wired differently - we have to wait until the electrics get rewired!! Remember this time well!

    Robin -- we all fall off the wagon sometimes - just brush yourself off and get back on and enjoy the view!

    Wizzywig - hope your day improves - remember - breathe!!

    To new and old VitF friends - I may not have mentioned you all - but have a wonderful day - may you be happy in all you do!!!

    Off to do some exercise - bit slack last weekend - but some would say three little ones are all the exercise I needed!

    Keep smiling

    Good morning ladies. I can't believe it's Monday already. Ugg, I need a break!

    Back to the hospital today with my dad and then I have to get an appointment to see the doctor for myself. My navel keeps bleeding and I'm not happy about it. When I weighed 300 pounds plus, I used to get nasty infections in my belly button all the time and I think it must be related to that but need to get it checked.

    I have Thursday off this week as I don't work on my birthdays. The last two occasions that I did work on my bd, one of my children had a bad accident (the first time my youngest daughter broke her arm and the second time my son got knocked out at school and had to have a brain scan and was in hospital for a week with a hairline fracture of the skull). Anyway, I’m going to do something for myself on the 13th. This year I refuse to organise anything which involves anybody else, which is what normally happens – if I want to do something I have to arrange it myself (my DH is wonderful but will always say, you arrange something and I’ll go along with it). I think I’m going to have a beautifying treat in the morning and then go to see the Gatsby in the afternoon. On my own! Bliss!

    Off to collect my dear old dad now.

    Have a good day and a brilliant week my friends.

    Love to all.

    Hello my lovely Vit F friends! :flowerforyou:

    Quiet day today I think. Just a bit of gardening to do. We have to earth up the potatoes and inspect and maybe dig up the garlic. I have never grown garlic before, but have been googling when to harvest. It looks about ready. I feel quite nervous about it so will get one up first. Apparently there is only a short window when it is at its best and in good condition for storage. I ADORE garlic, so here's hoping for a good crop. :tongue:

    We have smoked mackerel for lunch - DH' s favourite. I'm going to put mine in one of these new wraps I've found that look like Turkish flatbreads. Only 150 calories. DH will have ciabatta - 420 calories! ! ! Plus the mackerel of course. I like it with horseradish sauce.

    We changed the duvet for a summer one yesterday - I slept much better. DH is a cold mortal and said he was cold all night! :laugh:

    Watch out for my One Year Anniversary tomorrow. I started creating this new me June 11th 2012.

    Love to all and best wishes to those who have burdens or are just plain tired and fed up.:flowerforyou: :heart:

    Good morning -- ready for another week! I slept the best I have in a long time last night - the whole night through for a change. Maybe because I know the boss is back and I don't have to be the 'responsible' one.... Along those lines I can report that although I have not yet heard specifics about the vacation, it must have been a good break for him as he sent a text a short while ago saying he couldn't remember his system log on. Sounds like a success to me! He is a very hard working man, so I'm glad he could have that time. (AND I'm glad he is back.)

    DH works 11a-9p today so he will be very tired tonight as he is on his feet all day in the pharmacy.

    I have two small African violets as houseplants - they keep blooming, so I keep them. My friend this weekend kept encouraging me to get some additional plants, but I don't want the maintenance. The violets remain because they only need water every 7-10 days and seem to thrive on neglect. :laugh:

    Can you believe we have the dog on a leash in the fenced back yard? She gets so wound up about the small lizards she destroys things. It is just easier than repairs all the time. (Her trips are shorter, for sure -- no interest if she can't have some fun!)

    Well, off to fix breakfast and get on with the day.

    Michele – Beet greens are super good for you, they can be eaten raw in salads or smoothies, you can also sauté them as you would kale or spinach.

    Joy – Awesome hike and even more awesome photo! Wow!!!!!!!

    Heather – Terrific walk and great NSV with your “new” skirt.

    Deb A in CNY – That’s impressive that you’re dealing with so much stress but managing your health and still losing weight. Keep up the good work and be sure to take time for you along the way.

    Fizzfizz – Welcome to you earlybird! Stop by and read/post often

    Liz in Halifax – Prayers for you and your dear sister!

    Amanda – so glad your father is improving, your plans for your birthday sound perfect to me!

    Good morning Ladies, today was weigh in and I lost 3 pounds. :drinker: Remember last week was zero, so weird. The shrimp pasta was yummy, I didn't eat that much pasta, and had very good blood sugar readings after dinner.

    Not much planned today, I need to go to the post office and mail a package out, but nothing more exciting.

    Happy Monday!

    Meg, I freeze cilantro since it loses its flavor when dried. Basil tastes fresher when frozen, too. I use about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil to a fully loaded (but not packed tight) food processor bowl, pulse a few times, then store the herbs pressed flat in zip lock bags so that it's easy to break off a chunk. This works great for jalapeno (or any) peppers as well.

    Here's the recipe again, you might want to write it down this time :laugh:

    Cauliflower au Gratin

    Steam 2 small heads cauliflower until tender.
    Take out 2 cups and put it in a bowl with 1 cup grated parmesan, 1/2 c. fat-free or light sour cream, salt & pepper.
    Blend together until smooth using a stick blender.
    Combine with remaining chunks of cooked cauliflower and put into a baking dish.
    Top with seasoned bread crumbs and melted butter if desired.
    Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
    8 servings.

    Note: I don't use butter, and use the light sour cream. My calculations come to 125 per serving.

    Another sunny day here, I'll be busy running errands this morning and heading back to work after a wonderful 2 full days in the garden. Back to low-cal eating & strict logging after a few days of not paying close attention! I'm not upset with what the scale said this morning, matter of fact I guessed the exact number before even stepping on which actually made me chuckle...not about the number, :grumble: but the ESP. Evolving Scale Perception :laugh:

    Heather, we pulled a row of garlic yesterday, most of it's ready but some needs another week or so. I think there are supposed to be 5 "papers" (layers of skin) between the cloves when it's ready to harvest.

    Have yourselves a wonderful day!

    RATS! I posted a story on Part 1 before I read what happens with 500 posts. It went to the 'ether-world'! I'll have to post again later. Just finished reading all the posts from Part 1. I am at work and really have to go do something! :wink:

    I will catch up later!

    Grandmallie: Congratulations on breaking your plateau. Wish I could say the same!:flowerforyou:

    Heather: Good luck with the garlic. I’ve never grown it and would love to hear all about it. I did try once a long time ago, but it rotted in the ground.:ohwell: :flowerforyou:

    Gail: I’m glad to hear your boss is back and your stress is going down. Lower stress is always good news.:flowerforyou:

    Amanda: I hope your doctor appointment goes well and they get the problem solved. Good luck to your dad, too.:flowerforyou:

    Tigress: Congratulations on the weight loss.:flowerforyou:

    Sue in SD: Good luck with the doctor tomorrow. I hope he has a plan of treatment that you’ll be happy with.:flowerforyou:



    It is cool and overcast today, but I'm hoping the clouds will burn off. We’re working on getting ready for our upcoming trip. I’ll be calling the vet soon to confirm that my dog has had his heart-worm medicine for this year, and also to get some addition travel tranquilizers for him. Our actual departure date is more than a week away but we’re getting excited. We’ve had the car serviced, and there isn’t much left to be done other than our regular round of business, pack and go. Packing will be easier than usual because I only have four pairs of pants that fit. Two are long and two are capri length. I do have plenty of tops that still work fine, and oddly, so do my undies. I’ve gone from size 18 pants to size 10, and the undies still work. I’m thinking this is very amazing.

    Have a great day.

    June goals:
    1. Log every bite

    Good Morning:

    It’s another beautiful day here in southern Oregon. We are getting a new dishwasher this week…we have not had one for almost 3 years! So, today I am painting the kitchen cabinets.

    I did 7700 steps yesterday; I have been averaging 5300 a day.

    Tigress, congrats on the weight loss!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Waaarrrrgh - the test garlic we dug up looked just like a large scallion! :sad:

    I will leave the others in for longer, but I have lost hope! :sick:

    Katla - my knickers still fit too. They were very tight at 197 lbs and now fit snugly at 153 lbs! I haven't had to buy new ones.
