Happy Monday. Enjoyed the weekend and the ride we went on Saturday. DS and DDIL rode with our group. We rode 120 miles and raised just over $2000.
Went over Friday evening and got to meet our newest DGD Nevaeh. Such a cutie.
Meg--Sounds like you have a lot of remodeling going on. I love my gas stove, eletric is so hard to cook on.
Kim--Boy you sure showed those pipes who is boss. Glad it all came out clean.
Katiebug--Good to see you posting. Hugs
Katla--What great memoies with family.
Going to be hot week here so glad to be working inside.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE2 -
Worked today so no formal exercise. The plan for tomorrow is to do a body pump DVD
Ginny OH – did your doc recommend any kind of treatment for the osteoporosis? Usually, reclast or prolia works best since it bypasses the digestive tract and goes straight into the bloodstream. Weight bearing exercise (even walking, using weights) is recommended for osteoporosis. Great blood work!
My favorite season is summer because I get to go in the pool.
Dgarlick – deluxe model….lol
I have an electric smooth top stove and love it
Worked today then bowling. Home and in the pool for a bit. Now ceramics.

Pruned more rosemary- total of ten grocery bags full to share(instead of putting in yard waste) Hopefully the people who asked for it come to pick up- at least some have so far.
Did a lot of prep work for tonight's big dinner and didn't think about eating until about an hour ago(had tea and apricots then coffee until then for a total of 229 cal)
Had a few little snacks when giving daycare girl her snack so I am now up to 345.
Dinner will be in 90 min or so(try to have dinner ready when son comes home from work.
Steak are marinating now. Corn is shucked, green beans are cleaned and ends taken off and the okra is cleaned and sitting in the egg/milk bath ready to go into the toasted panko that will go in the air fryer.
I do need to make rice for husband- I will have a little quinoa if I remember.
One of the snacks I had was half an ear of raw corn- so sweet. I remember doing that when I was a kid when we would be picking it to freeze. Just 31 cal for it and was so good plus takes a while to eat it so got me though the hunger/munchies
Looking forward to all the veggies, the steak, not so much unless it turns out very tender.
Debbie.

Hello Barbie and Everyone!
I'm returning to MFP after a loooong hiatus.
RECENTLY ADVISED by my doctor I started walking to lose weight and get healthier...
Now I have a bone spur in my heel from walking too aggressively!
Good news is: It's for WALKING TOO AGGRESSIVELY!
I'm told it'll be a few weeks until healed but in the meantime I'm focusing on upper arm weight workouts and logging food.
Having a good attitude about weight and life itself is what will help me succeed on this journey!

Debbie – there is one farmer around here who has FANTASTIC corn. As a matter of fact, I need to give him a call to just let him know that I’m cleaning out my freezer for the corn. Can’t wait until it’s in
Monica CA – welcome back! You’re doing so well
Finished Doc (one of the 7 Dwarfs). Now just have Dopey to do which shouldn’t be that bad. Doc only took me 3 months to do given their reduced days and hours. Now it’s in to be fired. I’ll probably get it back next week sometime. Then...Snow White

Tired after the 36 h at the sea.
I had actually seriously considered cancelling- I had a lot of unexpecteds planned before and after. And an invitation to picnic with friends on Sunday- it'd been ages. But I have a nice contact with the hotel owners and had reserved by phone. I figured if I cancelled late they might not appreciate (even though the area is pretty full up at present), and so I kept it. When I arrive on Sunday midday it's so packed but the sea, it's too much. I went for a little bite on the way to the hotel and was stuck in full sunny seat (too hot!) then showered rested in the hotel for a copule of hours and went out at 4pm, for lovely swim in the sea, and again at sunset. (about 10pm). I brought picnic food for dinner, breakfast and Monday dinner.
EatingLunch out Sunday, small light salad and GF chocolate cake
Picnic dinner Sunday, a few tiny slices of bread, sardines, tofu, piece of cuke part of a store bottle of unrefrigerated carrot juice ;
Picnic Breakfast Monday cereal and and soymilk, rest of carrot juice
Lunch out Monday: sea bream, veggies, glass of white wine, fruit salad with tiny scoop of lemon sorbet, and marscapone foam - no bread nor starch so it was a fairly light lunch, for eating out with desert
Picnic dinner Monday : tofu, 2 tiny boxes of organic veggie soup, some soy milk, followed by a small sorbet (not more than half a cup)
On train home : a sip of light store-bought strawberry banana smoothie (less than a cup), about 75 calories max.
Weight up. Dentist in 3 hours. dragging. Home needs some serious tidying.
Walked plenty this weekend but no fast cardio. More of a beachy amble as I was wearing flip-flops all the time.
I had some lovely moments at the beach dozing in the sand or swimming in the sea. I find it so amazing. Slightly transcendant. Seeing the sun and water and land, feel aware of the vastness of the universe and our little passing place on it. And swimming in the sea was fun. Not a lot od swimming, just in and out for 5-15 minutes. it's pretty cold...
And the lunch on Monday was delicious. it's this topnotch subtle cooking at rather modest prices. I say little wows inside when I eat main dish and desert.
I always reserve there when I go (for past year). There are always regulars who reserve and it's almost always booked a two or three days in advance, at least. And they are friendly and welcoming. It's a small, informal place. I spoke with several other customers and took my time to stay out of the sun after I had checked out of hotel. The wine didn't seem to go well for me with the meal so I drank it after the dessert - so like another course, then espresso.
They offer a shot of calvados, a local hard alcohol (an apple brandy). I tried it but I can't stand hard alcohol, it just all seems the same to me, just pure alcohol and no taste.
I got the train back at 8:15pm getting in close to midnight. thats' a bit too late, finally. I think next time I'll take the 5pm-ish train back to get home at about 8pm: less tiring the next day.
The trip was nice. at the end of the day I ran into some strange people...A woman near me e at the station and said she was unable to buy her ticket (online nor on the machine) that she would buy it on the train. She was a bit sticky (staying near me to talk about that) which I saw as a possible red flag. I went into the station and saw it was possible to buy a ticket and told her the ticket machine was working again. She said thanks I'll go buy a ticket, and she left and never came back out with her ticket! I guess she was hoping to scam me that I might buy her a ticket. She looked slightly suspicious as she said she had come for the day but had just a tiny day pack. It's possible to come for the day 4h round trip by train to go to the sea, and some people do it, but her bag was pretty tiny for that (usually you'd have a bit of food, bathing suit, and towel and water at least, and she didn't quite look the part.
Another, pretty youngish was tipsy at a table on a street side café and was trying to insist I should come and have a drink with her and 2 old guys there. She was obviously smashed - but it was weird. I've been there many times and never had any such thing occur.
And a yelling woman on the train (not at me, but right behind me on 1st train commenting unpleasantly on everything)
and so on
happy to be home.
there was supposed to be a protest today but I'm so glad that no one in our groups or my schools planned to go- not really - but I'm glad to have the time to take care of other stuff today.

Hi everyone
Just popping in to say Hi, sorry I've been missing for the last month, nothing drastic, just felt out of whack with everything going on and couldn't keep up with the thread - we are so chatty
It will take me a while to get back up to speed with everyone's news.
Nothing much has changed for me, mum still plodding on, but she needs more help with housework etc. We've been (trying!) to clear out some of her cupboards - honestly the things she keeps thinking they might come in handy, but I don't like to "force" her to get rid of stuff, so I'm gently coaxing her to make a decision . I'm still trying to declutter my own house with the help of the "Take your house back" course, and I'm also following the Minimal Mom and Cas from Clutterbug. I'm getting there slowly
My knee has been playing up so I've been looking at knee strengthening exercises to help.
Hope everyone is doing okay.
Sending love
Viv UK

Lots of laughter on our big adventure today, R and T are the very best of traveling companions. Frances Shrader Old Growth trail was just right, peaceful, fabulous gigantic Doug firs and Port Orford cypresses, only 4 other people on the whole loop. Grateful to T and R for their patience with my pace and need to catch my breath partway back UP. Tasty BBQ brisket tacos at Cougar Lane Lodge, then T drove her jeep all the way down to the rocky beach and we stuck our hands in the Rogue River. What a day!
Margaret I just don’t get it with the Pekinese, fail to see the appeal. Bourbon was so much more elegant and attractive.
Kayne fingers Xd for your follow up appointment.
Carol WOW I had to wait 4 weeks (not hours) for my crown to be made. But oh! Four hours in the dentist’s chair, yuck!
Debbie 10 bags of fresh rosemary? Bet wherever its stored smells fabulous!
Welcome back @BEE3FAM Monica from SoCal! Good attitude as key. Who knew you could walk too aggressively?
Julie what you said about the transcendence of sun, sand and sea. Glad you listened to your warning bells, they rang for good reasons.
Welcome back Viv, you’ve been missed!
Lighter, lovelies!

Just got a reply from the owner of Fatto a Mano restaurant, following my Google review. I was complaining that the service and ambiance had changed and the music was overloud. I now have his email address to write to, so will do that. He is a friend of my son, but he doesn't know I am his mother Even my son thought the music was too loud and , at the end, we were the only ones in there!!!!
Went out for my run this morning. Wonderful. Already warming up for another hot day. I like Julie's word 'Transcendent'. The sea does that to me every time. Came back and rowed for 25 minutes to make up my morning 600.
Listened to Soul Music podcasts. True Colours and River.
Julie - I too hate eating under a hot sun. In fact, I like an umbrella or awning over my head most days, unless it's cold. Your trip sounds great, especially the lunch and swims.
Bought fresh bagels and artisan bread on the way home. Might do bagels with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast when my brother and his wife come this week. I'm not quite up to Eggs Benedict.

This is what I am trying to do these days ... trying to get each of the little things done. So many little things. One at a time.
Machka in Oz2 -
And a bit of a laugh ...

Morning, afternoon and evening, all,
Viv - glad to see you back!
Julie - glad your interactions with the shady people had no negative consequences. People are weird.
Barbara AHMOD - your hike sounds absolutely wonderful.
Welcome back, @BEE3FAM , Monica in SoCal, and anyone else who's new! We're glad you're here.
Best sleep I've had in yonks last night, very nearly made 7 hours! Didn't even wake up when Corey got up and went to work. Feel more rested than I have in a while. Three more days of the new antibiotic, and we'll see if the SIBO comes back after. At the moment, I feel almost normal--although it's been so long, not sure what normal really is anymore.
Been busy, too, with some assignments for the company I work for as a freelance writer. It's very intermittent, but when they do have some that are up my alley, they're fun. Yesterday was building three articles--800 words on quotes to start your day, another 800 words on quotes to tell you that you are enough, and 800 words on how to disinfect granite countertops. Still have three assigned before next Monday - how to clean a bathroom floor, what are emollients and how do they work, and what is evening primrose oil--all those are 800 as well. A pretty eclectic set of subjects, part of what makes it fun. Because they're assigned, they're a guaranteed purchase, so money in my pocket.
In other news - the VA issued a check refunding all copays for last year, and won't be charging any prescription copays until after September this year. That's pretty darned awesome if you ask me, and a nice little financial boost to our bottom line. Speaking of which, I need to go catch up the budget.
And... latest Levi sighting - he looks just like one of the Kewpie dolls of old... apparently this is the "I'm not letting baby food past my lips, woman. Get me a grilled cheese!"
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR8 -
