Reading about the burping content reminded me of contests my sons and husband had-burping was poplar, along with other bodily noises . . . . we did have some good laughs about it.
Think I may have a sinus infection. Got chilled yesterday and couldn't warm up. Face/sinus had that raw feeling, and sinus pressure. Skipped workout and came home and hit the couch with a blanket. Finally warmed up. This morning have sinus pressure. I am wondering if work in the basement may have kicked some dust up that irritated. I see my doctor on Friday for test results so if it isn't better by then will have him treat. Since not running a fever right now, going into work. Trying not to take anything for it and let nature do its thing.
Had talked to DIL the night before. She is pretty down about her mother's situation (broken femur, torn muscles both arms, polio and on tons of medications). She is working at staying out of fighting between her mom and her brother who is care giver (he provides very well for his mother). Problem is mother wants to drive (can't while leg is in straight brace seeing if it will heal). Also, and some of you may have experienced this, the combination of meds she is on has her thinking irrationally. Sad to see it happen. I think DIL is wise to not get involved with discussions the way mom wants her too. She is a sounding board and supportive of her brother. Her mom wants her to force brother to let her do what she wants, which would not be good (or even possible). I just try to listen and support DIL. She has a good head on her shoulders and is realistic about mother's situation. Her primary focus is her children and my son and chooses to stay out of the toxicity.
Did find a new wallet I like-got a Fossil on Amazon that is a wristlet type wallet that supposedly will hold my cell phone. Got it in gray leather (of course, they call it "Shadow" so it costs more). I prefer to spend a bit more and have it last for several years. They had a beautiful floral one I ordered for DIL as a "just because" gift (had her check it out to see if she liked it before ordering). Son's bday is very early March. He told me he would like a Fanatics gift card to get some new baseball stuff for start of season. Emailed it to him last night, told him it is early so he can get geared up for Spring training (they live very near the various facilities in Arizona). Since he'll be 32 he can deal with it not being on the day.
Off to shower and get ready for office.
Take care all,

Good Wednesday!
Thank you ladies! I found myself negative self talking yesterday.....thought of y'all and reframed my thinking to positive! I am healthy and able to move. I have an infectious smile. Body image struggles some days. When it does, I think of all your positive thinking.
Out to dinner with friends again. Trying to offer advice to the older gentleman who has had a stressful year, gained weight, has had several health issues. His wife unloads semi trucks for work, she is thin as a rail, eats once a day. He is medically retired, but can still walk. Back and neck issues. He isn't sleeping well. Trying to get him to understand that he may not be able to eat like his wife. Slowly I am helping him understanding foods and calories. He dropped the first 20 pounds quickly with only eating salads, but has plateaued. And says he is tired of eating salads. I am only offering tips and support. Sleep and BREATHE ! He stresses over everything so doesn't sleep so stresses more. He needs to sleep and walk first. Those would be priorities. The rest would probably fall into place then. I am trying to off set some bad advice he has gotten that is unhealthy. Positive thoughts for him, please.
Came home and just wanted to plop down. One of the issues with being slow at work and darkness of winter. My NSV for yesterday was a put on my favorite music and danced for 30 mins. Heart rate in cardio mode for 20 mins. Got 10K steps-yay! I need about an hour to chill before sleep, so have been trying to curl up around 9 pm. Well, that is still a struggle. I need to be more like my husband. He says bedtime, brushes teeth, goes to bed. I set up the coffee, pick up, do last minute things, and 20-30 minutes later get to bed. Last night I got a shower and was heading to bed when I remembered something I had forgotten to do which led to doing a few things for husband, which led to 10 pm in bed.grumble.
Amber-yay for JR and you!
Allie- Have FUN!
I am sure there is more but for now....
Welcome to the new ladies- check in often, reply when feeling the urge. Some of us are awesome at replying to everyone, others (like me) reply as can. This is a strong, supportive, and talkative group!
Thank you for all your support! I look forward to my times with you ladies. I love sharing your lives.
Safe travels to those traveling!
Healthy thoughts for all!

Hubby started a who gets more sleep argument Well JR answered truthfully lol. After Hubby found out how little sleep I get same or less as him depending on the day. A few blue moons anymore might get a few more. Hubby sleeps 9:30pm-3am goes straight to work).Lol JR even told how he dances,Blamed Pooh for the talking that keeps us up, Proudly answered NO y Nope to questions like you go straight to sleep right? Hubby gave me 30minutes said use my new charcoal soap 🧼 lock 🔒 the door.Was glorious 30minutes the soap 🧼 made my face so nice! Hubby said I get a surprise tomorrow he’s not sure what yet. Lol we shared Girl Scout cookies 🍪 last 4 on the package as we realized were hangry .Hubby starving on the diet he admitted.But will keep with it.
Amber Tx
Why is he starving? If he truly is hungry, and not just miffed that he is eating less than he was, then rethink what he is eating to add more volume so he gets more food. Switch out empty calories for something with substance. Add a bunch of leafy greens or other low calorie food to give him more substance. I know you said he said no to the dumplings, but that is what comes to mind easily at the moment so I'll use it as an example.....instead of the dumplings, add a HUGE salad with the same amount of chicken and he would have piles of food instead of a 1/2 cup of dumplings. Something along those lines. Last night I had a bag of steamed broccoli and cauliflower with grilled shrimp. Hubs grilled the shrimp on Monday for salads, but I wanted hot food so I tossed a bag of veggies in the microwave and had it with some shrimp instead.

Welcome Sherr in SE Missouri. Jump in whenever you like. We are a chatty bunch.
Okie in the TX Hill Country1 -
Okie- That is what I was trying to explain to my friend last night. The funny thing is I am eating less processed foods for breakfast, lunch, and snacks which is helping me stay within calorie limits. I can't include dinner as we really do eat out a lot!I have noticed though that I make better choices at dinner if I have eaten well all day.
😉👍2 -
Ginny- sorry you aren't feeling well. Could be dust or the crazy weather! Suggestion- saline spray. It will help clean and moisten. The air is really dry. Your DIL sounds like a keeper! Sorry about her mom, but she is lucky to have you. My current wallet is a wristlet. I love that it fits in my purse, but contains important stuff to easily carry alone or switch to another purse.
Have a great day! We may actually see sunshine today!

Very long day and still going ...
I was up late last night working on this paper, slept in about 20 minutes this morning, caught the second bus ... and then spent the entire day working on code, right through lunch and all. Normally I get out for a walk or something at lunch but not today!
The code changes were going well for a while and then all of a sudden something didn't work and we spent the afternoon checking this, checking that, changing this, changing that, running this bit of code and that bit of code to no avail. The number of records we were supposed to come up with was supposed to match another file ... but it didn't. The thing was, the difference sounded strangely familiar to both of us.
Finally at the end of the day, at about 4:45 pm, I started reading through my emails to see if there was anything referring to that number ... the difference between the two collections of records. And at 5 pm, I found something checked and changed more code ran it ... and at 5:12 pm, I had a match. I emailed my team member to check it and I hope it's right.
That was 7.5 hours of looking at code. My head aches! But I was pleased to get a match moments before I had to dash off and catch the bus.
As soon as I got home, I started working on my paper again. The thing is bigger than Ben Hur!! It's 11 pm now and I'll keep going as long as I can keep my eyes open.

Lanette it was a rhetorical question, but thanks! Loved Kim’s other “work” examples/answers to the church work question.
Amber if I tried to jump rope, I’d end up with black eyes… Hooray for JR’s “first”!
Sherr in SE Mo you are welcome to jump in any time! Gentle ((hugs)) for your fibro pain.
Pruned instead of cleaning, much more fun. Thought I was all better so went to line dance class. Oops, not quite, had to leave after just an hour, and was grateful to make it home without having to stop. Will try for BB&B this morning, taking ginger with me…

Over did it work yesterday with shoveling and doing major cleaning at DS. I ended up having leg cramps wake me up 3 times so I did not get the deep restful sleep.
Working today. I am going to try today if someone is needing redirection to say to them what could you do to help right now.
I tell you how it goes. I know there are one or two in this group who I could try this. Margaret 2 -
Hello everyone.
Just a quick hello - I will catch up with everyone later. I thought some may be interested in the following article since we had some conversations regarding gut microbiome.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/17/health/mediterranean-diet-microbiome-wellness/index.html
Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.
SuziQ - SFL1 -
SuziQ - That's my diet, except I disagree about the flour. Mediterranean people eat a lot of bread. I eat good, healthy bread in moderation. I eat masses of fish and piles of veggies. Fruit. Nuts. Lentils. Beans. Yoghurt. Cheese. Love olive oil. I love giving my microbiome something to feed on.
Okie - I agree, no need to feel hungry. Three healthy meals a day, plus snacks, should keep you full. My dinner plates are always heaped up.
The most important thing is that food should be a pleasure. It is not something to feel guilty about or to deprive yourself of. It should be celebrated as one of life's great joys. I always find, the better food I am eating and the more I am enjoying it, the less I need. Pleasure is a great dieting tool. Limit, deprivation and guilt just cause binging. Eating good food makes you feel GOOD.
Dancing tonight.

Machka Beautiful pics! Do you ride on the sand? “booked a dentist appointment for that tooth” well done!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie
No we don't usually ride on the sand. Riding on the sand is tricky ... you've got to do it just after high tide when the sand is packed and solid and when the water is receding so that we don't get salt water into everything.
Hungry when "dieting"?
Yep!!
When I'm on a mission to lose weight, I'm hungry.1250-1350 calories a day (plus a few exercise calories) isn't much. But that's OK ... it's good to be hungry sometimes.
And I can't always eat when I want to eat. I try to eat to a schedule, but on days like today, I didn't even notice that I'd missed my first food of the day (a little snack) until my stomach started growling ... and then it was probably another hour before I had a chance to eat something.
But to help reduce the hunger, I do eat a lot of veggies ... usually steamed veggies. I'm not too much of a salad eater. I usually reserve salads for when I go out for dinner. Then I usually start with a garden salad, no dressing.

I have been on MFP for several years. 2020 is the year of "NO" for me. NO sugar after years of saying I was sugar-free but still having "some" here and there. After years of putting my health 2nd, 6th or 12th, it's FIRST now. I've lost 10 pounds as of today this year. I really like the "Trim Healthy Mama" lifestyle of healthy carbs healthy fats forever way of eating, which my bad habits have been sabotaging since 2015. Just wanted to say HI! And sorry to jump in mid-month, I literally JUST found you on a night my fibro is got me wide awake in pain and fully awake when I should be asleep
Sherr a.k.a. AvaMaria2012
Welcome, Sherr, You have come to the right place. When I started on MFP, I made some rules for myself that have served me well. The first was that I ate only what I had planned and said "NO" to anything offered to me no matter how benign . Then "say no to birthday cake". I have more rules now and they have helped me get my life where I wanted. Barbie from NW WA 2 -

Interestingly, I tend to eat the same simple foods over and over and you plan and prepare amazing, varied, and interesting meals, yet we both feel the same way about the role of food in our lives.

I've just finished making Bea's 4th birthday cake and it's in the oven right now. I'm a bit nervous about it as it's in the shape of a 4 and the tin has no bottom. I covered the bottom with kitchen foil and then tried to line it.
I am not a patient person, so it was a bit haphazard. I hope it will work. My worry is that bits of lining paper will get stuck in the cake. It's a chocolate fudge cake and I DID lick the bowl. Also my baking powder is a bit old so it may not rise. Oh well.
After its cooled I'm going to slice it in half horizontally, put baking paper between the layers and freeze it. I am in Glasgow until the day before the party in March. I will have time on the day, if I get it out of the freezer the night before, to fill it with chocolate butter cream and put blue on the top. All the FROZEN 2 decorations will take seconds to arrange on top.
Heather in Hove, UK, crossing fingers it works.

PS - The 4 tin was originally bought for my DH's previous partner's 40th birthday. She died at age 47 of breast cancer. I have used it for Max and now for Bea. 8 -
A dear friend (Lynette) in Nebraska is nearing the end of her life. Lynette, 66, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was 50 or 51. She had been an amazing person; special-ed teacher, farm wife & raiser-of-lambs, gardener, mother of 3 high energy boys, hostess to our get-togethers, adventuress, and wonderful friend. She was one of five of a close knit group that have stayed friends to this day. I grieved 15 years ago, but I am sad for Shona, the friend who has been an active support & involved with decision-making, and for Rod, Lynette's husband, as well as the kids & grandkids. I am relieved & very glad for Lynette to be done with this existence. When Lynette was told of her diagnosis all those years ago, she called another friend Jodie & said "I have some really bad news. Well, it's bad for you, but not so bad for me." Amazing insight. She was already quite symptomatic by then; the diagnosis was delayed almost 3 years by her denial & refusal to cooperate with seeing doctors.

Barbara- Jumping rope at my age with my saggy boobs go up slap hard down over y over again lol. It’s not a black eye more a shoulder slap or rib ouch. Bras don’t contain me got new type that fits better still no luck. I got tubular breasts different sizes so not like most women so bras just aren’t going to fit just right. Makes it impossible to breast feed the one I got until 4th pregnancy then you can make some milk. I made 1-5punces a day for JR for 2weeks before it was gone he was the 4th pregnancy.Was happy to get that experience even if brief got him over his premature Csection birth jaundice.
Okie - Yeah I bet that’s it he saw fries soup y pickles probably wanted more but went around a bout of mansplaining it instead of saying I want bigger portions. Made him green beans with a huge helping of mash potatoes a piece of chicken. Funny thing is the chicken y dumplings is actually a large portion same amount as the chicken. Hard to tell but the fries are the same amount as an ice cream scoop of the mash potatoes. Only difference is pickles instead of green beans. Lol he is allowed to eat 2 containers per meal if still hungry . He eats stuff besides what I made so me keeping his calories in balance is impossible it’s up to him. Snacking, restaurants with/without clients, moms house 🏡 ,y even sometimes his Sisters. He has more opportunities to cheat than I do it’s building will power . At least he’s trying my healthier meals to trying to count his calories in his head even if then he eats a box of cookies 🍪. Takes time to get used to a new routine.

Heather Such a cute picture with the tough judge and your pictures!
Pip I love the inside of your Sequoia, too. I hope it drives and is as comfortable as my Rav4. I couldn’t believe the difference in different brands! I love Toyotas and have had many over the years. Yogi appears to love his new limo! The rug in the back for him is beautiful! Nice seat covers, also.
Amber Funny we have similar stories. I was fortunate to find an OB near the end who was the same age as I and had just had a baby a couple of months before me. She made the last month of my pregnancy and my delivery wonderful! I had kicked my abusive husband out before the baby was born, so I had a friend (who had just had a baby also) for my coach. I went through labor and delivery with two other new Mommies and it was a wonderful experience. 😊
Ginny Hope you are feeling better today! Do you use natural treatment for your thyroid cancer??
Kim What a lovely party you hosted! The bride and groom are very fortunate you are such a terrific hostess! I am amazed you were able to create a vegan meal! That is tough when making everything from scratch! The dinner area was beautiful, and everyone looks so happy!
Machka Terrific pictures! I want one of your apples. 😊 I usually have an apple every day. They are like candy for me!
Me days Every day is a me day for me. I love watching my dear Grandbaby!! I haven’t been able to work since I was 52. The only thing I don’t like about my time being free every day is that I never seem to get things done that I want done. I am trying to be more active and get more accomplished. So much to do in our house, but I have a tough time getting motivated. I watch way too much tv…hoping to get that under control soon. In a lot of pain most days…mostly left over from my injuries. It sucks, but I sure prefer it to the alternative!!!
We have two trips planned this year. My DH’s 50th high school reunion in KS and a family reunion (my side) in a giant house in FL. Very excited about both trips as we never spend enough time with family and friends. I know we will have a wonderful time (other than the drives which I usually medicate myself for or I squirm around too much from pain). The drives are long and stopping a lot to walk around makes them even longer, so we usually push through. DH prefers it that way, and he is happier if I am semi knocked out so I don’t moan and groan too much.
Michele So happy that Newman is alert and talking! The accident was horrific! I can’t imagine seeing it live!! Must have been awful not knowing if he survived it or not! Jeff Gordon was doing commentary and was visibly shaken while talking about it. It must be those driver’s worst nightmare to be reminded just how dangerous their sport!

Reason I started the prep meals is can introduce more exciting foods to our diet since can prepare each item slowly throughout a day or all at once. Plus JRs less hyper in the morning than near afternoon.He picks up speed! Lol like a roller coaster 🎢 morning he goes up y afternoon he speeds down full force wheeeeeee

It's Wednesday ladies!
Heather - if I lived close to you I'd find a way to finagle myself over for one of your delicious meals now n then, lol. Seems like I rarely cook anymore now that DH's eating is so limited. When I do, plenty goes into the freezer. But I have taken to actually sitting down at the dining room table for my supper, setting a place, slowing down and enjoying what I'm eating.
I ran into an interesting fellow at Grocery Outlet yesterday in the cookie aisle.
He told me about time he'd spent in Africa and also South America living with pretty primitive folks, and how grateful they always were eating their simple meals every day, and how happy they were and how they sang and took care of each other. NO social media! And how sad it was now, with his grandchildren totally tied to their phones.
We agreed that if anything happened where the electricity was off for a long period of time and social media wasn't accessible, our role as old-timers would be as their "guides" showing them what was really important in life. It was kind of an "Another Auld Lang Syne" moment. I didn't really know this guy but knew of him. Gave me a little lift.
SuziQ - thank you for the link about gut microbiomes and Mediterranean diet. There's a lot to be learned from this! It reminded me of an article I read recently called "Why the Calorie is Broken" on the Blue Zones website. It's lengthy but gave me a lot to think about. What struck me was how our gut microbes actually may help determine if we get fat - citing a case where a lady received a gut microbe transplant from her overweight daughter but she gained 40# she was unable to lose with diet or exercise....hmmm.... Here's the link if anyone is interested: https://www.bluezones.com/2019/01/why-the-calorie-is-broken/?fbclid=IwAR0ljw-yH4PaI5FT6xW9pASIMX-VbfKwe3JJFCiDlIpMcVTsKcoG9cKqHf8
Barbara AHMOD - I kind of thought your income from church question was rhetorical. I miss the old days of working in an accounting office and actually generating W-2's and 1099's.
Karen in VA - sorry to hear about your friend with early Alzheimers. Early 50's is way too young to start mental decline like that. It's comforting that you have good memories of her.
Went for my walk this morning, 24 degrees, road bare and dry.
Time to get busy. Make it a good day!

Hey ladies -
Home sick today so spent the last hour or so getting caught up here. Apparently it was my turn to catch whatever it is that's going around at work. Feeling a bit better after spending some extra time in bed and having some tea.
Kind of a blessing in disguise, I think. I've been feeling a bit out of balance lately (changes at work and some issues at home) so a day of peace and quiet at home may be just what I need to do a sort of "reset". Clear my mind and maybe try to change my perspective on things. Some things I can control, some I can't and the things that I can't I need to just accept. I may not like them but they are what they are so I need to make peace with it.

Karen-I’m so sorry for you and your friend.Ive seen a few vibrant people be taken by Alzheimer’s 😔.But you are right,she will be done with this existence.
Amber-I jump rope and wear a sports bra 1 size too small-it’s a beast to take off when I’m drenched in sweat but it keeps everything from going everywhere lol.I also wear it during hiit for the same reason.
Janet O-sorry you’re under the weather.I do hope the time you have to rest and reflect gets you where you feel you need to be.Prayers,(((hugs))),love❤️,and gratitude for y’all.
