Oh Heather! Somehow I missed the post about your daughter-in-law and the emergency. Sorry to have barged in and asked you for cooking tips in the midst of all that! I went back and read up and was relieved to see that everything appears to be on the mend. ((hugs))
And good for your husband attempting the diaper change! It's never too late to start.
We've been having a humdinger of a storm up here, the first of the autumn season. The wind picks up and literally picks things up. The children all get new toys because whatever was left outdoors blows down to the next house. I feel sorry for the kids in the westernmost house because all they get is building supplies from farther down the hill. (Though maybe that's just as much fun as new toys.)
It's the kind of wind that frightens and exhilarates. If you're caught out in it you have to walk with a broad stance and great deliberation, constantly planning what to do if you topple over. It almost pushed me off the side of the road yesterday. That would have been bad because I would have gone right under the guardrail and down the 30-foot scree slope. All night the wind has been booming across the tundra, shaking the house on its piles.
Yesterday I met a newcomer from Rhode Island. She had heard about the Arctic wind but never previously experienced it. She said it sounded like a myth; she figured people were exaggerating – until she actually felt it. Now she understands.

Hi Penny - oh, that wind! ! ! ! :noway:
For the celeriac, I sometimes just have it boiled and pureed just as it is, but some people find the flavour a bit strong. You can mix it up with any other root vegetable, like carrots, but most people mix it with potatoes 50/50. More calorific of course.
My favourite is celeri remoulade, the French salad, which is grated raw celeriac in a mustard and garlic mayonnaise. I use light mayo and thin it with a bit of yoghurt these days. It always reminds me of my old trips to France, buying that and a carrotte rapee in the deli with some pate, then going to the boulangerie for a baguette and the epicerie for some cheese and melon or luscious peaches. We would drive on and find a picnic spot and eat that by the side of the road. In those days we probably had a glass of red wine as well! ! !
DDIL is having a kidney scan this morning and then the normal 12 week pregnancy scan at 12.30. Hope she will be let out today - she HATES hospitals - insisted on being discharged 24 hrs after her Caesarions. I have written her a card and will post it on the way to yoga. When I know she is home I will send flowers. Unfortunately I went off with DS' s house key, so need to post that as well. He has pre arranged cover today in the house so she can let him in.
Kim - love that diaper story! Read it to DH. Got a chuckle!
I have my fingers crossed for DDIL. Thank you all for your good wishes.
Heather UK0 -
morning dear friends~
well I will not be out for a walk or go to the gym today as when I went to the beach on sunday I burned the top of my feet
. was able to do the riding mower yesterday.. and have been slathering on the aloe vera gel...
long day of work today and as usual the day after a holiday will be crazy at a dental office..
have to be at work at 9 am, will go check on DFIL and then go take care of Jean's mom Faith before I go to work. take care of the dogs ... so I will be busy...
Joyce~ will keep both you and Charlie in my prayers...0 -
Feeling the hugs that were sent my way. Crawled out of the wallow pond now sweeping to the side. Tomorrow is a new day and another chance to stop arguing with a 10 year old.
Still consistently losing 2 lbs a week. Most of my life I was a stress eater but by some miracle I am no longer eating when stressed. However, while I have my food under control I can't seem to get out of my chair to exercise. I know I need to do it for my health and I think about it everyday but my body is not responding to my mind. My plan is to start back at the Y as soon as the boys start school in 2 days. So if you don't see me post that I've been to the Y on Wed the 9th someone please give me a swift kick in the bootskee!
Off to bed for me - hugs to you all!

Heather, glad your daughter-in-law is doing better!
Joyce, keep blabbering, dear, it lets us know you're still hanging in there.
I'm sitting on my hands to keep from going and jumping in the shower and putting in too many hours again today. I have writers' group directly after work, so being at work from 7 am to 6 pm and then writers' group until 8 leaves me staggeringly tired for my 45-minute drive home past the suicidal deer set.
Instead, I will run or bike a couple miles as soon as it's light enough to see, then shower and head in to arrive by 10 a.m. I promised myself this is the week I get back to taking care of me first, then taking care of work. I Also need to get my eating back under control. I've gained a pound on TOP of what I gained during vacation--it's like I can't get my mind back around controlling my intake. Annoying.
But, it was a lovely, quiet weekend, in which we accomplished very little and were happy to do so. Recharged and ready today, one hopes. Plus, this weekend was the first of the winds that cool instead of just make you even hotter. The first hint of fall to come... hopefully tons of pecans coming down soon. The figs never got bigger than my thumb most of them, but were lovely. Still bearing, too--but that will end as soon as the nights cool completely. The first cold snap, and they'll all fall and be food for the squirrel and the birds.
Got to get back to the homework I brought with me, and I did get that breakthrough I needed... so I'll be able to get a per-plate cost for each menu item at the restaurant. The news isn't good, but it will lend itself to analyzing possible fixes. They've been trying to fix it by dropping personnel, when what they need to do is get more butts in the seats, and that was easy to figure out from the very first costing.
Off to the races, kids, after our three-day weekend in the US. Have a grand week!0 -
Good morning. First day back to school for the kids (I am an elementary school secretary). It will probably be a zoo in the office. Bussing is the biggest headache. It will be good to get back in the routine. I usually walk on my lunch hour, which I haven't been doing lately.
Have a good day, everyone!
Maryann in Michigan0 -

Haven't had my coffee yet so this will be very brief.
Gloria, what you and I are doing is HARD WORK! Don't feel guilty if you take a reading day now and then. It is the only thing that keeps me sane- I am an introvert and have to escape the commotion. I read every day, but some days that is ALL I do besides feeding the kids. And some days our old bodies just hurt from all the activity. I am glad that you are feeling more energetic.0 -

oh I understand insomnia. I average weekly around 4.5 hours a night. Then I'll break it and sleep for 7 or so one night. ugh Praying for sleep for you too my friend. Gentle (((hugs)))

Insomnia is my companion again. Hope to get some sleep before time to get up. LOL I tried two nights in the bed as PT requested but had to move back to the couch last night just so I could get se sleep.
Praying for sleep...
My name is Cheri and I think I belong to this group but wish I didn't!?
Sleep deprivation is such an insidious ailment. I no longer have any idea what it feels like to wake up refreshed after a good nights sleep. My husband and I have such different sleep styles that several years ago we made the decision to become one of those happily married couples who sleep in separate bedrooms. Each of us trying to eeek out some "quality" sleep hours. It certainly helped me but I still do not get the sleep I know I need. Ugh!!!
Cheers for another zombieish day!

I, too, am in the insomniac category. Sometimes my brain won't turn off. Sometimes my body hurts too much. I was very sleep deprived when my apnea was diagnosed, so I know how much better I feel with good sleep. It is a struggle.0

To the insomnia group... I have had insomnia for years. One hope maybe, after my weight loss I started to sleep better. When I exercise, I sleep even better. I have not had to take insomnia meds in months.
Cat in San Diego0 -
Kim thank you for telling me about DSIL. It does give him a chance to rebuild his life.
DS defended him by saying he likes alcohol. I said I like chocolate cake, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea to eat the whole cake. I also said alcohol worked for him when he was younger.( He uses it to self medicate.) It no longer works for you. (It never really did, I wanted my message it doesn't work to get across). For him he has no brakes once he starts he cannot say an internal NO. I also said it is like pouring gasoline on a forest fire. What happens when you pour gasoline on a fire. I also said that was awfully expensive five bottles of rum. It put him back in the hospital and got him evicted from his apartment.
The combination alcohol and bi-polar destroyed the life he had. If he wants to rebuild any kind of life alcohol doesn't belong in it. I continue to pray he takes ownership for his problem, so he can start to heal.
Looking forward to meeting with Gayle and Mary tomorrow.

Aw, Mary. I feel your pain, so sorry. I Went to bed at midnight was up at 4:00 am, ugh0 -
Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Morning Ladies,
Carol, I’ll send you some “deep sleep thoughts” so you can get some rest. I hate it when I can’t sleep! That is when I finally did something about menopause because I couldn’t take the sleep deprivation any longer. I’m sure when you are in bed, you’ve tried propping pillows under your shoulder? Good luck, my friend.
Mary,
ROFL at your statement,” My name is Mary and I'm an insomniac!”. I feel for you fer sure!!!!
Penny, thanks for the laugh when reading your description of the kids toys being moved down to the next neighbor. But it sounds a bit scary with the wind that strong! I guess everyone keeps the kids inside or you could end up with some neighbor’s kid? Be careful up there near the North Pole. (((((Hugs)))))
Heather, I don’t know if it’s just me, but when you start talking about food and cooking it is just so darn “sexy”. No wonder you have such a doting DH !!!
I can actually imagine you on a cooking show, doing a demo of preparing celeriac while listening to your British accent. Sending prayers for DDIL and the whole family.
Allison, gosh I am exhausted just reading about all you have going on, even before you face a busy day at work. I sure get the impression that you don’t give yourself enough credit for all that you do. Ah, by the way, when you are going to be out in the sun for any length of time, USE SUNSCREEN!!!! Oops didn’t mean to yell. Take care, my friend.
Glow, so glad you got that taken care of. Good for you!! Now, on the exercise, I am a good one to give a swift kick, but also one that most often needs one. It is something that I just don’t want to do and yet I feel it has helped me so much. If you have to, start out by doing just 10 reps of anything. A push up on the wall, squats, lifting a bottle of water over your head….anything. A start is a start. All exercise doesn’t have to be aerobic. Just make yourself get up and do a little today and tomorrow you can add to that. It is actually easier than making yourself go to the Y. We are all with you and rooting for you, so get goin’ with a baby step. (or two)
Lisa, so glad you had a relaxing weekend. And kudos on figuring out how you wanted to do the per plate cost. I’m glad you are back to concentrating on you because you know how important that is. Have a great week.
Maryann, here’s hoping you will get back to walking on your lunch break. You have a hard job that I’m sure no one appreciates like they should. Have a great year.
Beth, I had to laugh looking at your goals. You said you aren’t back to exercising, but haven’t been eating back your exercise calories (that you don’t have). That sounds about like me, but when I did exercise regularly, I rarely ate back my calories. I never even put in my exercise until after I finished my log, cause I didn’t want to see them there. Lol I know you will get there and we are behind you. *can you feel us pushing?* A huge CONGRATS to you an others that are still losing 2 pounds a week. That is fantastic!!!!
Cheri, oh no, not you too?? I wonder how many people working heavy equipment, driving and doing other things out here, have not had enough sleep this week? It’s a little frightening when you think about it.
MNMargaret, it is so sad that we can’t make someone help themselves. I’ll keep my prayers headed your way. Have a good time tomorrow and know I wish I were there!!!!
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Reading about all the insomniacs here makes me sleepy. I may have to go back to bed. Actually I got a good night’s sleep last night. I have line dancing this afternoon which will be my exercise for the day. We are in another week of rain nearly every day but at least the temperatures are under 90.
I hope all of you have a healthy and happy day.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

Happy Tuesday! Just skimmed through over 200 posts so they are all a blur. Welcome to new people, thanks for advice on pedometers. Hugs to everybody struggling.
Too hot to exercise and two days in a row of overeating do not mix for weight loss. Going back to my half pbj sandwich for lunch regimen today.
Oven ignition AND toaster wound up busted this weekend. Hair dryer acting up too. Appliances decided they needed a Labor Day too, I guess, but now that the weekend is over and I have to go to work they are not doing the same.

You are on your way to getting all six of these goals in the YES column , Way to Go !!! Awhile back I balked at exercising .....for months.....which is really unlike me. Anyways, I grabbed the leash one day and took my dog for a walk...I told myself " just to the corner and back ". I did that a few days then started to walk further along my route....eventually the walking got me energized enough to dust off an exercise dvd...I chose the " easiest" one I could find and set the timer for 15 minutes...once it rang I was done. The next day I picked up where I had left off for another timed session.... And continued on..... The point is, set a mini goal with your exercise. No one said you have to be walking 3 miles the first day!! In order to get exercising, You have to take the first step...inertia and momentum all come into play here... You can do it ! You already are doing everything else on your goal list!Good morning!
Week one results;
1. Stay within calorie limits 4/7
2. Log my eating honestly YES
3. Make conscious effort to exercise NOT YET
4. Ignore eating back exercise calories YES
5. Lose 2 pounds per week YES!!
6. Meal plan and reorganize pantry, fridge and freezer to help with above goals ... Started sorting freezers and so I can begin batch cooking.

morning peeps -
sorry I haven't responded to your posts individually. I've honestly been skimming thru them, have had a lot on my mind, well actually shoulder, lololol!!!... hugs to all that need them, congrats to all that deserve them and strapping on the boot for all that want it!
I am so thankful that so far the riding position is not making the nerve pain flair up and stab me.
gloworminwa - CONGRATS on your 2lbs a week loss.! keep it up!!
this weekend is the ride, looking forward to it.
my bike is out of the shop and ready for the ride. the other is at the shop getting it ready for winter. things are moving.
type to ya later0 -
Good Morning Ladies..haven't posted in a couple of weeks but have been keeping up with everyone. I continue to admire the strength you all have and wish you all the best.
Things are winding down after a whirlwind August during which I had an awful lot of fun and the scale shows it. Still 3 lbs. up from my lowest weight the morning I left for Mexico on 8/8. I have to learn to stay on the plan when I am socializing and that will be 1 of my goals.
Today I have logged in for a full year and I reflected on that year this past weekend. Last year I was in a terrible place both mentally and emotionally and was not in the best of physical shape, although nothing major was wrong...yet.
Year in review:
Lost almost 40 lbs.
Went from size 14 to size 8
Off all blood pressure meds
What is not visable are the changes within, my new found confidence, ability to deal with challenges thrown at me and overall happiness.
I found this group in December and jumped in around February (I'm not a joiner so this was big for me). I found a great group of women willing to share their lives, struggles and accomplishements with grace and humor. I have learned alot and want to thank each and every one of you.
I have adjusted my "plan" for the coming year a bit. I have decided to incorporate Mary in Minnesota's stronglifts program and began yesterday. I will have to ease up on my beloved elliptical a bit. Any advise Mary would be welcome.
Goals for September:
Stronglifts 3x/week
drink at least 64oz water/day
log in everyday
Do something everyday that makes me happy
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

drkatiebug: LOL! The cucumber Gatorade actually WAS a surprise, because I didn't know he'd bought that flavor. I didn't have my glasses on and I just grabbed the first Gatorade I found in the fridge. Nearly lost it on that first sip, though.
Janetr: I've often wondered the same thing about motivation myself. I know I feel better when I get regular exercise, so why is it so hard to get going and get it behind me?
Mae: I loved your story about enjoying the neighbors' air conditioning. I don't do it at home but I like to sleep in a nice cold room with lots of blankets, so whenever I stay in a hotel I make full use of their A/C to crank it down! My husband has learned not to ask if it's "too cold."
Allie: Ouch, the tops of the feet are so easy to forget when putting on sunscreen. Hope the burn tapers off soon!
I'm doing better today. Still super weak and a little queasy, but I'm able to keep down solid foods and sit up at my desk for a couple of hours at a time. I think I'll continue to eat what sounds good for a day or two without worrying about calories, but I'm tracking just to stay in the routine.

So far things seem to be going ok up in London. DS not good at details! They hope to get DDIL home today.
I have been sending out DH's emails to my family about the food choices etc for the bday meal.
My present from DH arrived yesterday. It's a white towelling wrap/dressing gown with a hood that I asked for. My birthday isn't until October, but there was an offer and it's an expensive brand.
Also received DGD 's outfit.
I also received a little extra I ordered for DH. A flashing/strobing beer glass. :laugh: Will give it to him on the Friday of the weekend. His actual present is 2016 season parking at the cricket ground.
Lots of love, Heather UK
PS - looks like I have successfully negotiated not staying with my friend in November when our group of 4 schoolfriends meet up again. I will bow out of crowding into the flat and stay round the corner in a hotel. Can't decide whether to treat myself to a ridiculously expensive, but unique heritage hotel or just go for a normal modern place. Hmmmmm.

Good afternoon. Just a quick check-in to say I've lost another lb and a half. Happy dance!0

Heather and other UK'ers..... Are you all rugby fans ? Or newly adopted rugby fans now that the World Cup is days away in your fine country ?!! My husband I were supposed to go over for the games, but it's not going to work out .0

As soon as I get to hospital I get met with the nurse telling me that so far his precerticstionnto nursing home isn't going throu because he is doing to much for himself. He has never bathed himself, dressed himself, only walk around half of the unit, never tried stairs but he can push himself up off the bed to use a walker with 1 person standby. EEEEEEEK GRRRRRRRRRR }*#%*%*}*+]£}*#€*}{+ I am about to throw that Apple again but at insurance and all the politics of Medicare and rehab and everything else. It is my favorite nurse though so I won't throw it at her. But the cardiologist doesn't like his heart status just yet so he isn't willing to discharge. Husband is beginning to see how tired I am and some of the cognitive problems I have said he has. I am going to lay down.0

DJ and Susan ... For me, exercising means something like the gym or weights ... My average day without taking a walk specifically. .. Is around 8-9000 steps by 1:00 pm. (I'm a housekeeper for a large church). MFP tries to add those calories from counted steps back in. I'm not eating them! But then by 1:00 I'm already bushed ... So making a concerted effort to move more is hard as I'm lazy by nature! Lol!
I have never had problems with sleeping until this past week when DS started driving!! I feel for all of you insomniacs.
Beth0 -
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
Walking is a great way to start exercise for anyone who can't imagine doing pushups or going to the gym or anything else. There are so many ways to listen to something while you walk so it's entertaining and the time passes without your even noticing. At first I walked listening to music, then moved on to podcasts, and recently started audio books which is perfect for someone who never seems to get enough time to read. This week Jake is doing most of the dog walking while my hip/back heals and he's listening to an audio book that he checked out of the library. It has inspired him to walk the dogs longer than he would have ordinarily and the last few days he has gotten over 14,000 steps each day.
September resolutions (with week one comments)
*walk an average of 15,000+ steps a day ( not even close because of my injury)
*drink 9 glasses of water a day (every day)
*strength training twice a week (none at all due to my injury)
*15 minutes a day organizing photo files on computer and phone (15 minutes or more each day)
* meditate for five minutes four or more days a week (every day so far) Barbie 0 -
Congrats to those losing weight - achievement!
Becca - how did you gain that confidence in letting go of coverups? sounds like great inner peace!
Beth & others avoiding exercise - BOOT, go love yourself and do some activity for you FIRST before you start doing stuff for others. Found if I didn't get out and exercise, me first, excuses and life got in the way. And it helps thinking you've upped metabolism for the day (can always hope).
Day 2 of no sugar!
You gals inspire me so much to keep it up, thank you!0 -
Well, I only checked in briefly one time this weekend and I think others must have been busy too. I’m only 258 posts behind and I didn’t think that was too bad.
I need to vent and I know this is a safe place to do that. I love my mother and I’m very happy that she is healthy enough to still be able to come visit me and my family. But… she called my brother a month or so ago and told him she wanted tickets to see the ISU vs. UNI football game which was this past weekend. There were over 60,000 people at this game (sold out crowd) and parking near the stadium is impossible unless you have season tickets and donate the big bucks for a parking pass and I have neither. And to make it even better, it was 90 degrees and humid on Saturday. My mom is 78 years old with a bad knee and her husband is 80 years old with a bad back, so they both have issues walking distances and climbing stairs. So of course, my brother says sure he’ll get her tickets. And of course, my mother decides that she needs to stay with me and not my brother. And of course, that means that I spent the day on Saturday making sure we got to the game early enough to find a parking spot within a couple miles of the stadium and trying to find a spot where my mom and her husband could sit in the shade while we were tailgating and then making sure they did not get overheated and they did stop and rest when needed. Needless to say, I was a hot, sweaty, crabby mess by the time the game even started. Anyway, I have told my brother that in the future, he is never to agree to get her tickets for one of the most popular football games of the season. If they want to come down to a game, there are other games where she would not have to deal with the crowds and the heat. OK, I’m done and tossing that one in the pile in the corner.
Other than dealing with the above, I had a fabulous weekend. My DD#1 is playing flute in the UNI marching band. The ISU and UNI bands combined to do a joint half-time show at the football game. It was great to see. Then, I got to bring her home for the rest of the weekend. We moved her into college 3 weeks ago and this was the first time I got to see her. We spent Sunday just relaxing, watched a couple of movies, and I made her pasta with meatballs and garlic bread (her request). If you haven’t seen Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon and Sophia Vergara and you want a good laugh, go rent it! On Monday, we spent a couple of hours at the pool before I drove her back to school. I think it was harder saying good bye to her this time than it was three weeks ago. A weekend is just so short.
Mary/MN wrote “We should post what we do when uncontrollable hunger strikes!” – For me, the uncontrollable hunger usually hits me mid-morning when I didn’t eat a good breakfast and then I end up snacking most of the day away. I would love suggestions for something I can keep in my desk at work to satisfy that hunger and keep me from snacking away all my calories for the day. (And I really don’t like celery.)
Lisa – Thanks for posting about the Fitbit Charge HR. I’m using a Jawbone UP24 right now. I’ve had it for about a year and I fear it is going to die any day. So, I’ve started my research for a new fitness tracker and your post was very helpful.
Sylvia – I’m so sorry about that defective scale.
Pip – I love the orange nails and the pumpkin snacks! Adding both to my TO DO list.
Sharon – Congrats on paying off our mortgage! Woo Hoo!
Heather – Your DGD is going to look adorable in that pink jacket with the rabbit hood! The t-shirt is very cute too. My grandmother had a mulberry bush and we used to pick the berries right off the bush and eat them when we were young. Brings back pleasant memories.
Mae – I’m so sorry for all you have been through the last few years. We will be here to support you as you move forward in your journey.
I’m to the bottom of page 15 and see I’ve got another 4 pages to go. I guess 258 posts is a lot to catch up on.
I’ll post more later as I catch up. Thinking of you all.
