    Ann: Happy Birthday!!

    Jess: I used to take Women's One A Days, but got really sick from them and if I ate before taking them or with them, I'd even throw up immediately afterward. After researching online, I found this is really common. So, I switched over to children's Flintstone chewables and take two a day instead of one. I also take a few TUMs twice daily for extra calcium. When I remember, I also take DHA, which is a plant-based Omega recommended by Dr. Oz because sometimes the fish oil ones can give you "fishy burps." Eww. Oh, and if you're tracking your sodium, you may want to stay away from the Jimmy Dean breakfasts because they have over 1/2 a day's worth of sodium (over 1,000 mg) in one sandwich.

    Interesting factoid for today: Military studies of soldiers in Afghanistan have shown that low-fat milk is the best cure for dehydration.

    Heather-Yea this one had 870, ugh, kill me! It pretty much ruined my sodium for the day. So I'm trying to keep it as low as possible for lunch and dinner! I'm making pasta with squash for dinner so I think I'll be okay for dinner, lunch is what I'm worried about. I'll have to look into the flinestone vitamins if the multivitamin doesn't sit well with me. Thanks for the information!

    Lstpaul-Wow! So glad you ended up going to your appointment. I would hate for you to have to have surgery. Sending you positive vibes!

    Weather is looking a little shaky here in NYC (lots of storm rumbles), so I'm guessing that outdoor Pilates is out. However, I found a hot yoga class that I'm going to try tonight. I know I'll sweat buckets, so I'm going to up my water intake today. I'm super excited about the class and ready to challenge myself!! It's such a cool feeling to be so excited about exercise!

    Well I seem to be doing awful with protein today! UGH! I need something that's high in protein but low in sodium. Sodium is kicking my butt today! I went to Walmart and bought one of their market fresh salads. I figured most of the sodium is in the dressing so I used not even half of it.

    Istpaul - Super glad that you went to the doctor's appt. Even though it is not the greatest of news it is still good to know what is going on and if there are ways to improve it. I sure hope that they find something that works for you soon.

    Jess - Great Job on going to Walmart and getting a salad instead of eating your frozen dinner to help you stay in control of the sodium.

    Well, I was bad for lunch and didn't stick to my meal plan but I went and had something that was about the same in calories maybe a little more but not terribly bad. But it was really high in sodium. I am now on the watch for sodium but hopefully I will be able to watch it. I know that this sounds bad for me and sodium but does anyone know of something quick to pick up on the way home from work for dinner? I don't have time to go to the grocery store and get everything done that I need to. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    I too am bad on the sodium. I had over 5k in sodium yesterday so I feel a little bloated today! ugh!

    Wish I could help with the dinner suggestions, but I am so lucky cuz my mom cooks for me and the kids since hubby works out of town! I don't know what we are having but she is doing the healthy lifestyle with me. I am so spoiled!!!

    LOL! I almost fell over laughing! I am positive that you don't look like Ronald McDonald! And I am right there with you with bad hair life! If I don't straighten my hair it looks HORRIBLE!! Note: I don't straighten it that often so don't let my pic fool you. I like my hair straight but it takes so long to do it so I just end up with it in a frizzy ponytail. :laugh: :laugh: When I do wear my hair straight I do get a lot of compliments from people. That always makes me feel better.

    I am here in and out. MFP is always up when I am here at work but then it is a different story on how often I get to stalk.

    Blue - I noticed that you ticker jumped to 92! WTG Girly! That is awesome!!

    Cris - Good luck with your planning. At least you have a game plan. If I was closer I would so help you plan it and take some of the stress for you. I absolutely LOVE planning weddings!!! I had so much fun planning mine and here soon I get to start planning my sisters!!!

    I live in a ponytail because my hair is just crazy wavy sometimes. I get a lot of tiny curls that frame my face with wind and humidity. All in all, though, I actually like my hair. Weird, huh?

    raider - I grab an Amys frozen meal when I have zero time. They are in the freezer section at the grocery store and I go for the low sodium choices they have - either vegetable lasagne or bean & vegetable enchiladas.
    They are both pretty good, 290 - 320 cals and low sodium for a processed meal

    Jess - I really liek the vitamins I have, they are "food based" which is supposedly much easier to digest and I have had no issues. The brand I get is called "Megafood Womens one daily whole food vitamin" and has 50% of my daily iron needs.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANN !!!!!!!!!!

    Hey gals,

    I am here too. I pop in once in a while to “catch up” and post something if my kids let me (sometimes)..

    Blue: Congrats for breaking the 90s, pretty soon you will celebrate the 100s. Best of luck girl:flowerforyou: !

    Wecome to all the newbie’s!

    Litdeb: my hair is curly; however, it’s not tight curls. But I have plenty of hair so when I decided ( which is rare) to straighten my hair it takes me one hour with the staightener, but 30 minutes with a typical iron (yea, I am crazy).

    Cris: HUGS..I never really dealt with wedding plans because hubby (the groom) pays for the whole wedding. In our tradition the man pays for EVERYTHING..from the engagement party, henna gathering (3 days before the wedding), and ceremony..the wedding w/o the church ( we get married on paper a month before the actual ceremony, however, we are not consider “married” until the bride and groom walks down the aisle.

    I pick out my dress and jewelry ( that is it). We do the invitations, pick out the cake, and pick out what the food will be…the rest was on him ( hall/banquette room, singer/dj, lemo, honeymoon, handing out the invitations, all all the other stuff that goes with the wedding)...sorry rambling again..

    Yea too much to deal with so I feel for you girl:heart::flowerforyou:

    TOM came today and I am so tired, bloated, and always hungry. Hang in girl. I am late this month it usually comes the beginning of the month ( I was last month also), wondering why I am late, but at least it came…LOL

    Cris, Enjoy your meal…I love chicken parm from Carrabba’s Italian grill…and the shrimp scampi with garlic bread…OMG I am in heaven..NO wonder I got so big..Stay on track..OK..back to my goal and being healthy…sorry.

    Ok..I have to go upload the rest of m food..be back in a few

    I had long straight hair for most of my twenties. When I turned 30 I decided to cut it to a cute shoulder bob and it has gotten shorter and shorter everytime I cut it. Its shaved in the back and longer in the front. I will NEVER go back to long hair. I swear if I could go bald I would (or at least Sinead O'conner ish) Only then I wouldn't get to color it cute reds and pinks and blues.....:tongue:

    LOL on the football call even though I have absolutely no idea what that is. ROFL I am honored to be your girl,..er...boy blue! But since I'm 46, almost 47, I must confess I do not have a clue what that song is either. The only song I know with boy blue in it is the nursery rhyme I teach my KGers: little boy blue come blow your horn, the sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. :laugh: Now if THAT doesn't tell my age, nothing will! :tongue:

    Note to self: NEVER go to work out in public the day after you color your hair Ron McD orange. I kept wondering why people were staring; I thought they were shocked by the awful color. OH NO MY SISTERS OF THE TRAVELING WEIGHT LOSS PANTS, that is NOT why. They were staring at the ORANGE STREAKS RUNNING DOWN MY EFF-ING FACE POSING AS SWEAT!!!!!!!! :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
