Thanks Marie for reminding us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE AND ESTHER!!
Janice - Sorry you were so sick from your treatments, I guess it goes with the territory. I hope your next one is better for you.
Connie - Yay! clothes are falling off, you are doing fabulous.
Yesterday Dave and I went sailing, a perfect day with weather and conditions we couldn't have asked for more.
I am still doing the 1200 calorie plan and we are on day 3. It seems to be working I have lost some weight. The meals are filling and no snacks and that part is hard for me because I am a snacker.
Just trying to eat less. The meals are only for 7 days so you have to repeat the meals. So far so good.
Tomorrow we are going for an overnight sail across the border and the weather should be cooler so sleeping should be great.
Have a good weekend. I will be back Friday sometime.

I went to therapy yesterday. They encouraged me to start going up and down stairs like a grown up. I have been unable to do that for over 10 years. I have been relegated to one step at a time like a toddler for forever. I have also been told I can ditch the crutches in the house and only use them when outside. And since it was a beautiful sunny and 64 here I went for a 2 mile walk this morning. I stuck to the touristy part of town where the sidewalks are wider and more even but I did it. I also went up and down the 3 flights of stairs to Iris's school and had lunch with her and her classmates. I took Shaundra out to Walmart to get art supplies since he grades are up. Now that the day is almost over I have walked 3.31 miles!!!!!! What's even more shocking is I DON'T HURT!!!!!!!! I only feel like I walked a mile maybe two. I can't wait to be able to put miles on my legs again!!!!!!!! I used to struggle hitting 3 miles because I would get so sore. But now I can do most anything again!!!!!!! I have not been in this little pain since before Iris was born and she is 7. And no I am not using any pain pills either. I am doing absolutely awesome and funny how the weight is starting to come back off again now that I can move around so much easier. I have been able to drop 2 pounds this week alone.

Morning, losers!
Janice...hope you are feeling good today.
Shirley...sounds like your calorie reduction is going well.
Esther...good progress!
Marie/Ruthie/Nancy/Steph...hope to hear from you soon.
Heading out in a few to take Cooper to the groomer and run errands. I am down .06 this morning putting me at 195.4. I hope this will be a whoosh loss and it will drop more tomorrow, but won't complain if it doesn't. This is just how it is...SLOW.
Make it a great day, losers!

I am too Connie. been a long time of healing. But I can see some progress now. I am waiting on my bath lady now.. I am going to miss her love the good bath rub on my back. and getting my hair wash. Maybe I can talk Jerry into doing it. I got hit with another restriction, As long as
it with another restriction yesterday. as long as I am on the blood thinner no excess greens includes green beans, spinach any green veggies. They were my
stand bye.to fill me up.

@CALIECAT....you must be on warfarin also called Comadin. Vitamin K is in the green leafy veggies and that interferes with your blood getting thin like they want it. My hubs used to be on that one until we asked for it to be changed because we did not want the food restrictions. The doc changed him to Eliquis. There are several thinners that do not restrict the food and you do not have to have blood drawn to test the thinness.

I did not know that Connie. will check will my doctor about that.0

Morning, losers!
Marie..my hubs goes to the VA hospital and after a blood clot, they put him on the Comadin/warfarin. When we asked the clinic for a different thinner, they claimed that was the only one available which was a LIE. Months later, we got it changed. There are many other thinners available like Pradaxa and Xarelto. I don't know why they push the ONLY one where veggies have to be restricted and blood has to be drawn to monitor.
Janice...hope you check in soon.
It's cloudy here today, but no rain is expected. My trainer had to cancel our session, and I really don't feel like the pool so I am thinking that is will be a rest day. Still holding my new low so I am a happy camper. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
Connie0 -
I will check with my Doctor on that. Connie. seems like the doctors are pushing the no veggies ones veggies.This is getting the best of me. one things lead to another. Now I am having BM problems.The nurse will be he shortly so will check with her on that.

Hi,
Marie-Sorry you are having so many issues with your health. Hopefully you will be back to your self soon. I can definitely relate.
I have been trying to get a few things done around the house, plus pay bills, but mostly trying to get some rest and just feel better. I have 2 more implants left, one Monday and then Friday. After that I really don't know what's next. I will ask Monday. I am so glad I am getting a few days break before the next one. The last 2 were in 3 days not really a break. It's still really hot here, I can't wait for some cooler weather.
Esther-So happy for you and your new knee. I am glad you aren't feeling any pain with all the walking your doing. The knee replacement was a complete success.
Nancy-Glad you had a good time on your cruise.
Connie-That's wonderful you are in the mid 190's and seeing alittle loss happening.
Have a good weekend everyone.Janice0 -
Hi everyone,
Seems like I have been going since we got home.
Ready to settle down and rest for a while. SEC football tomorrow and hopefully will be able to sit down and enjoy the games.
Sounds like good things are happening with our group. I did gain 2 pounds on the cruise. Thought I would stay the same but did go up some. Will be working on that now.
Have a great weekend.

Marie, you are sounding so much better and getting back to your old self again. I see Alice is starting a new job, good luck to her.
Connie, you are losing slowly but you are losing and that's all that counts. Your clothes are getting bigger too, so keep up the good work. We are all routing for you.
Janice - Only two more treatments left, and good that they are spaced a little for you to recover.
Nancy - I know how you feel when going away there is always so much to do when you get back.
Esther - A friend of ours just had a knee replacement and his new knee bends more than the other one.
He still has to get the other one done in the Spring. Good luck with your healing.
We had two days away on the boat, and the weather was cool and sunny. A nice break from all the humidity but now back home and the rain has started and the humidity is back.
I am hoping the rain will clear and I can get my walk in today.
We woke up this morning to a flood in our kitchen(upstairs), laundryroom and bathroom(downstairs.
What a mess!! All cleaned up now, it was a broken hose under the kitchen sink and it is fixed now.
I am doing laundry now and washing all the rags and towels I used to clean up this mess.
We are invited to dinner tonight with friends so no cooking for me.

Hi,
Shirley, your little getaways sound nice. Glad the weather was cooler, while away, soon we'll all have cooler weather. Next week it's still going to be in high to mid 80's, so no end in sight here. I am so glad for this break between implants, and also a break after Mondays, I will be glad when they are over.
Marie-I hope you and Alice have a nice day out, and a good lunch. I hope your foot is doing better.
