    Good morning m'dears :smiley:

    Rebecca Whidbey What a brilliant idea to put lasagna into those small pans for individual portions!

    Michele in NC As mentioned I've got lots of fitness DVDs but don't use them. I'm finishing up on purging my home of unused stuff then moving on to the garage where the DVDs are. We'll be in touch ;)

    Amber Tx Amber, caring for family often takes up a lot of a woman's time and energy. But please don't put off caring for yourself, seeing a GYN to check out the pain you're having. If something serious is going on it's best to address it sooner than later to avoid complications. <3 P.S. Loved your guacamole recipe - I'm going to try it tonight, though I'll substitute the seasoning package stuff for Ms. Dash Chipotle blend. PP.SS. Your home looks nice. How do you post photos with the "edit" button so folks can choose whether to see pics, rather than them automatically taking up an entire page?????

    Love Heather UK What are "zoodles"?

    M in Oz What is the course you're taking? Are you attending for fun or going for a degree?

    Barbie in NW WA Kudos to you on the dog walks :) BF and I are dog lovers. We'd love to have one but being big people (I'm 5'8" 200# and he's 6'5" 225#) in an small apartment wouldn't work too well for us or the dog. But when we win the lottery . . . . Until then, we get our "fix" by visiting the local dog parks, hehe :smiley:

    Today, it's cool and cloudy here.
    I'm gunna keep under my limits today (including fat :-)
    Working on clearing out old paper files today.
    Out the door now for my daily walk!

    Machka ... if Noah had been really wise, he would have swatted those two flies ... :D ... just sayin'

    LyndaBSS ... is your dog on any kind of arthritis/anti-inflammatory medication? Our Zeke had deteriorating, arthritic hips as he aged and the Vet prescribed a common medication ... Carprofen. We had blood work drawn before starting this med and his kidneys were very normal. After several months on the medication, his kidney numbers took a hit and we discontinued the med. Labs were drawn again before a needed surgery and his kidney numbers had returned to normal.

    Janetr: I’m sorry that your bone scan was so unpleasant. I hope you won’t have to go through that again. :flowerforyou:

    Janetr, Lisa, Beth: I
    weigh daily so that I can track the trends. Also, seeing a rise on the scale is an incentive to be more proactive in what I eat, exercise, etc.
    I used to dread weekly weigh-ins, but daily weigh-ins have removed that dread, as I can identify from my log what I was doing to cause the rise. I use the Happy Scale app to track trends.

    Beth No, Jack's never been on a med other than Nexguard and Heartguard. That's an interesting experience you had. Glad you connected the dots.

    Filling out some paper work on computer it wouldn't take me info tried three times. Called for help waited 10 minutes on phone. When told the person on the phone the problem they said they would send me the form. I tried one more thing I left out the periods after my initial. It said in direction it would not take extra characters. The computer figured a . an extra character.

    What should have been 5 minutes at most took 4 times as long. I am becoming used to this as we get our finances in order. Lesson learned you cannot argue with a computer. In some instances a . is considered an extra character.

    Amber – oh, yes, the birds love the popcorn when we take it off the trees. And our cats love the birds outside the window….lol

    Heather – saw a t-shirt the other day saying “you know you’re old when happy hour is a nap”…lol

    Speaking of bras made me think of this. I have some of the exercise tops, you know, the real clingy stuff. Anyway, even tho there is a piece of material around the top area, you can still see the nipple through. What do others do?

    Rho – looking forward to hearing from you. I’m always looking for different DVD’s. Honestly, I get bored doing the same stuff.

    Janetr – why did you have to go thru all that for a bone scan? They usually don’t give me any kind of dye

    Went to the Newcomer general meeting. Really wasn’t worth it, but worth it to see that it’s really the same faces there. Afterwards, went in the pool. Ceramics tonight. Will work more on my turtle and probably put Happy in to be fired. So Monday I’ll pick up (hopefully) bashful and Happy

    Dandi--Sounds to me like you are doing really good. One day at a time.

    Machka--I would go nuts with things flying in and out. I go nuts when something fly in the car and have to get it out as soon as possible. Very OCD about it.

    I am only up to page 38 been a crazy day. Had an interview and going to offer the lady the job. So hoping they can get the paperwork done so can get her started and trained.
    Blessings, Vicki GI NE <3

    Michele, regarding the bra issue, I've either put bandaids or folded up tissue over my nipples.

    Waiting for Hubby to get a day off to take me to the Doctor 👩‍⚕️. No one could do anything until now because for 2 1/2yrs I was still healing from my Csection ,but I should be healed now so the pain is not supposed to be there. ASAP going but could be a few weeks at our age y JRs size we are taking care of our elderly parents they cannot babysit. A lot of folks don’t understand child Health problems so need hubby to go with me so I’m not spread eagle with big ol’ JR in my arms. Hubby wanted to take me Saturday but none are open then (someone should corner that market!

    As many have noticed

    JRs out door toys 🧸 are indoors . His skin condition is that bad. Of course having indoor toys 🧸 inside plus regular inside toys takes up a lot of room but worth his safety.Were talking about an indoor playground for inside so he can swing to slide y climb. It’s something we’re considering.Lol one day will look back at pictures laugh at how much room this boy takes up.

    Amber Tx

    Need to cut his hair still too it’s on the list of stuff to do.

    Michele in NC "Janetr – why did you have to go thru all that for a bone scan? They usually don’t give me any kind of dye"

    This was not a bone density scan. The bone scan was to look at both knee replacements. The left knee has slipped a bit out of place. This surgeon did not do the replacement originally so he wanted a good look at the replacements and to have a base to compare to in the future, it can also show any obstruction of blood flow as II have horrible varicose veins.

    JanetR I had both knees and one hip replaced. For the longest time afterwards, I was afraid of falling. A few months ago, I faceplanted and kneeplanted on concrete steps. My knees both got swollen but the replacements were fine. I was so relieved. 😥

    What is the purpose of doing bone scans on titanium knees?

    Felt v. productive this morning, knocked out all the firehouse paperwork in between doing a cold water load of lights, vacuuming and cooking corned beef with potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Love that Capricorn Moon energy ;)
    Knee started aching at line dance lesson, I'm way overdue to return to the preventative exercises and other mat work.

    Welcome Tina in CA, DonnaChristman2015 and graciecat7409.
    Beth how dare that insensitive lout scold you for feeling pain. Glad you reported him for the false billing. Hope he quit practicing dentistry and went into demolition of something that has no feelings, like brick walls or boulders.
    Rebecca that miso/udon soup pic made my mouth water, but where are the shiitakes?
    Lisa thanks for that confirmation. I'm seeing that combing, brushing, even dragging fingers through leaves an unattractive frizz, but my scalp crawls at the thought of not combing and brushing. Today's compromise was that AFTER brushing, I mixed water with new gel, massaged it into the hair and scrunched away. Either it worked better, or I'm getting more used to the look ;)

    Still didn't scan docs today. Tomorrow after T'ai Chi and before dog group will try to finish the dog group's email list. Rain stopped and should be sunny tomorrow. Hoping it will dry the deck so I can give it its second coat Thursday.

    For now too pooped to say more, but love you all!

    Lighter, lovelies!

    The udon soup is just a packet. I have shiitake mushroom dressing, with bits of the mushroom, but the commissary seems to be out of shiitake mushrooms at the moment!😕

    Lynda: I am so sorry you’ve been though shingles at all, let alone 3 times. I hope you never have them again. I’m going to tell DH about your repeated shingles. He hates needles, but this is worth a bit of pain. Unfortunately, he tells me to leave it alone. He’s been told to take the shots by two doctors—his regular doctor and his MS doctor. :flowerforyou:

    Yvonne in TX: Thank you for the information on World Suicide Prevention Day and World Mental Health Day. :heart:

    Mary from MN: I love your comment on muscle v fat. You are absolutely right that muscle takes less space than an equivalent weight of fat. :star:

    Rebecca: Where did you find the portion sized lasagna pans? They’re a great idea!!! :star:

    Dandi: It appears that you are off to a very good start. WTG!!! In my own weight loss journey I had times when I lost weight and other times when I was on a plateau. If/when you hit a plateau keep on doing exactly what you are doing now. The weight will eventually drop. :star:

    Barbara: Congratulations on your productive day. WTG!!! :bigsmile:

    Marianne: I’m so happy for your having kicked cancer to the curb. WTG!!! I do my food posting on my phone. There is a section called nutrition and it will tell you about your percent of carbohydrates, fat & protein. :star:

    Heather: Therefore I Am is an excellent title. :bigsmile:

    Allie: Congrats on 47 pounds down! WTG!!! :star:

    Machka: The trees across from us on the island are still green, but fall weather patterns are evident. We have light fog this morning. Being inside the house feels cozy. I’ll enjoy hearing about your spring weather. :smiley:

    Barbie: DH & I talk about wills but haven’t actually done them yet. We have mental pictures of what we want to do, but getting off of our backsides would be a great idea. :embarassed:


    I am a member of two groups, one is for the city and the other is my horse riding group. Unfortunately for me, the monthly meetings for these two groups are Tuesday & Wednesday of the same week. Last night the city meeting went on for a good long while. DH was asleep when I got home. Tonight is the horse group meeting. I need to summon some energy to get there & participate.

    Its just a mini loaf pan, the loaves are about the size of a huge muffin. Not sure where I picked it up. Great for quick breads like banana bread, and of course brownies!

    So bought green onions for today's ramen bowl! Then I bought some tomatoes, and an English cucumber. Cut up the four tomatoes, cucumber and onions up with my dressing to make a quick salad. I love veggies!

    Glad that you had no permanent damage to replacements. He wanted to make sure the adhesive that holds
    the replacement in place is still in tact. I have not fallen so no idea really as to why the left one has slipped out of place. I do a lot of treadmill walking, recumbent bicycle and kettlebell workout. The surgeon said the best thing you can do for replacements is to exercise to keep the muscles surrounding them strong.

    As long as you don't run or jog. That apparently wears out the replacements before their time.
