    Still sick. DH has been an angel. So ready to be able to breathe and swallow without difficulty. Exercise on hold :(

    Pip - the “old pic” looks professionally taken, it is a wonderful portrait!

    My encouraging thoughts and warm wishes go out to all your family members in need, ladies.

    Lanette are there any exercises like leg lifts, push ups in knees or things that don’t have you in your feet that you could substitute in for the interim? So sorry to hear about that.

    Allie Good luck and stick to your guns.

    Michelle How amazing! I caught only a minute of the launch on TV. Enjoy Florida and here’s hoping the fridge is set to rights quickly!

    Terry Your long post included very little about how you are doing. Hope it is well and the storm is minimal.

    Ok, sicky brain fog settling in again.

    Later

    Rye

    EDIT: Almost forgot my question. Does anybody have any experience with weighted blankets?

    I just ran across this discussion site and am not sure if this is where I can ask this question. I'm trying to figure out if I can use Myfitnesspal foodlog for homecooking. I prep a lot of stuff that I use in my recipes, but I haven't been able to call those up to insert into new recipes. I.E. I'm making a garlic paste with a hot pepper every month (2 small jars last fine in the fridge) and I use those to add to everything else I'm cooking. Or my honey'd ginger--the drained off liquid goes into my salad dressings or tea. This is the third program I'm trying. Fitbit was just getting me ticked off. What experiences do you guys have with the foodlog? are you using it?

    Welcome Sabine! Almost everything I eat is made from scratch. It takes time to figure things out with MFP's recipe builder, but once you have your personal recipes analyzed, it becomes very simple. Something like the liquid from your honey'd ginger might need to be an approximation but that approximation will be your standard. Of course, you'll need to weigh and then measure to determine the unit of liquid you use in your dressings. Does that sound daunting? It really isn't.

    I saw this during a walk in the desert. It is a desert millipede. It was about 3 inches long. They can grow to 6 inches. They do not bite but emit a noxious smell and liquid that can irritate your skin if you are brave enough to touch it! :o:s:#


    Awe. Won’t let me upload it. I’ll try again in a bit.

    I'm so excited. I burned 365 calories during my workout today. YAY ME! Keeping to 1200 calories is not a problem, either. At least, not this time around.

    When I got up this morning, dianne was already awake, so I went to the Y and just did some HIIT. I forgot how much I sweat down here. I know it has to do with the humidity. the plan for tomorrow is to try their Power hour class. I remeber last year there was this awesome class that had stations. It was at 8:30 as I recall. This class is at 8:30. Is it the same? I don't know.

    alsa - I knew someone would answer your question! Welcome!

    Lanette - I wish we could stay in FL for the rest of the winter, but Vince needs to be back by Feb. 27 at the latest as he has an appt to get his permanent crown put on. Oh boy -- no walking. How horrible! Good news about the Xray

    Sue in TX - you can't begin to imagine how awesome that launch was. One thing that just seemed interesting to me was how long it took from when the boosters landed until we heard the sonic boom. It WAS cool sitting in the condo then going out to see it 10 minutes before the launch. A lot of people were waiting for hours, they'd gotten there real early in the day just to get a good spot.

    Barbara - congrats on the fantastic weight loss.

    NYKaren - happy birthday to Olivia. How wonderful! She's come a long way, baby

    Went to breakfast with Dianne and Paige. Normally, I wouldn't go out for breakfast. But since we don't have a refirgerator (we bought one today -- would have been too expensive to replace the freeon and then they'd by law have to find the leak and fix it.) Had 4 egg whites, two strips of bacon and Denny's seasonal fruit. Then Dianne and Paige left to go see other friends. Vince and I got a new pill shooter for Loki, got a newspaper, bought the refrigerator, went to Lowes but they didn't have a ballast for us so went to Home Depot then back to Lowes for the lights. Since they are so close together, it was worth it. Lights at HD would have been way more expensive than at Lowes. On the way home stopped at the bank. Now Vince is putting up the balasts. I need to go to HD to get him a certain drill so he can drill thru the concrete above the light.

    Allie - a 60/40 split!!! Outrageous

    Beth - I cooked a chicken breast in the crock pot and it was so dry that, honestly, I threw it out

    Michele now in FL
