Phoebe I think that is a good ideal. to have a chart for us. I was on one thread once and it had one It was really interesting. Maybe someone will start one for us.

For those who can eat raw cabbage, i just posted a recipe for delicious creamy cole slaw on the Sneakers Recipes thread. It makes six cups, at less than 65 calories per one cup serving. Even my picky husband thought it was good. I watched him eat two servings, and I didn't even care!
Temperature today is 86 in the sun - not nearly that hot in the shade on our back porch from where I am posting. I'm trying to get up the gumption to go till the garden once more before planting.
To all who are themselves ill, or who have family members fighting sickness and disease I send my best. Wish I could do something more to help.
Maddie's post about her mother brings my own mother to mind. She died 40 years ago this past January at the age of 50. I was just short of my 30th birthday, a mom with four kids. My five brothers and sisters ranged in age from 14 to 26. One sister was 5 month's pregnant with her first child. For many years I would still pick up the phone to call her. She would be 91 years old had she lived.0 -
Debz, thanks for posting that story, what an inspiration. I wonder how Mike and Al feel when they read something like that one?
I mentioned sodium earlier and I think you asked me about it, then I forgot to answer you. Sorry. Sodium contributes to fluid retention, which can then cause your weight to fluctuate. For example, I weighed one afternoon, discovered I was 3 pounds up, then the next morning, i was down those three pounds and two more!
I think that is why they say weigh first thing in the morning. Then I heard others talking about how the weight was gained after menopause and that it is harder to lose it too. Explains why my stomach is not shrinking! I hope! Lol
Maddie, I guess it does feel weird not to be with grandma right now, bless your hearts, get better so you can visit her, and us!
Barbie, you two are braving the weather, bundled up and dripping water? I guess people see you out there and say what are they Doing? !! But we know.
Gigi, I hope your mother is stable now. It is hard when you are not close by. And so many things can happen in a minute. Do you dread the nite time telephone ringing? Hope you are well too!
Sandy, Bingo Queen! Hope you are having a great Friday. Read your fb post about Shredding Level 3 ! Wow, you go for it, I'll. Wait here. Lol
JUDY, come on now, pretty please?
Marie, so Gayla is going to sail away? Lol, I hope they launch the boat in a warmer climate! But I'm. Sure it will be very relaxing. Does Neil go with them?
hope you are getting the hang of your pencil and touchscreen. You know, this may be a blessing in disguise. Every time you falter, you learn something new, and you get handier with fixing it too.
we had bar b que chicken for lunch. Barbeque sauce is not my favorite, but this was home cooking, the chicken was baked, and it was just like my late mil used to prepare it. Yum! Of course I mess it up by ordering the fried sweet potatoes. They are a rare menu item in our travels, and delish. Of course Id love a baked sweet potato better.
We are not going home after all. This is one business that has not noticably been affected by the recession. It has, in truth, been harmed, but for now, business is good, and we know we must go with the flow. So we are loading tomatoes and taking them to Calif.
Buzz, are you exercising today? Be safe and be happy, all you smart sneakers!0 -
My brain is sleeping this week!! I posted on the recipe forum instead of here, but thanks to Marie she set me straight and she thinks she is dumb. :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway:
Happy Friday!! bigsmile Gloomy day here but it is supposed to get near 80 over the weekend, with rain. explode
Had a busy morning but I did go back to shredding and decided to try level 3, it is a killer and I had to stop on some stuff but hope to work my way to be able to do it all even if it is the beginner level. tongue I am going to go ride the bike to make up for some more calories. We are going to soup and salad at our Church tonight with the 5 year old and her mother. Since I don't know what ingredients are in the soups it might be hard to record so I better have a big leeway. bigsmile
Maddie, continued prayers for you and your mom, I hope you both feel better soon. heart
Gigi, amazing comeback, you are right on track and a good role model. flowerforyou
Marie, thanks for helping me out with that senior moment and forgiving me for making you old. blushing I think your mouse is playing a cat and mouse game with you, but if you still have a warranty it might be best to just take it in and have them look at it for you. love By the way Marie, I loved your picture of the "mature' lady. heart
Deb, thank you for sharing that story. I wish the unhealthy people in my life would listen but it is impossible to control people and if they don't want help there is nothing we can do. cry
Phoebe, in your spare time laugh laugh laugh you can make a chart of our ups and downs.
Buzz, Hip hip hooray!! What a great accomplishment!! We couldn't be more proud of you!!! Not only a beautiful, smart lady with years of experience, but now another goal on its way. flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou Have you tried right clicking on the reply button and open a new window? I put them side by side so I can see all the posts and try to reply to them all. Just a suggestion. heart heart
Elli, glad you got back to hot yoga, you seem to love that more than anything. I don't think I could take the heat, I have to put my ceiling fan on just to do the shred. ohwell So glad you get to spend some time with your soldier and his family. I see on face book that they are trying to withhold pay for our military and hope everyone on face book reads and stops that. angry
Barbie, hope all is going well on your trip. We know for a fact you won't go over on calories and will be walking as much as possible. We miss you but hope you are having fun. flowerforyou
Jackie, that picture was out of this world, is that really the view from your cottage? I was imagining you covered from head to toe in a bee suit with a big mesh face mask, but it doesn't look like that on your profile. blushing I am really good when the kids are around and I tell them the bees won't hurt them, but inside I am afraid someone will get stung. Just one of my silly fears of little creatures. tongue
Connie, OMG, what an amazing weight loss in one week!!! You rock girlfriend!! Isn't it just a great feeling when the scale finally decided to make a move??? All our hard work will pay off, we just have to have patience. I am so happy for you and wish you continued success!!! Now you can go to Victoria Secret and get some of those sexy undies. laugh laugh
Judi, you have such a way with words and recipes, what may I ask is Toad in the hole??? Have fun with number 2 son and his partner. Isn't Fleur the name of the girl from Harry Potter??? Yes, I am a big fan of Harry Potter. blushing
Half the day is done, I still want to ride the bike and take a shower. By then it will be dinner time and I still haven't eaten lunch.
Where does the time go when we get older????
Have a great day!!0 -
SANDY, fortunately, this week, for you,....

Another glorious day here in Essex. Sounds like most of us had a great day weather wise. It's meant to be a good one tomorrow too, so I am planning a gardening day. My daughter Kerry is coming round to help and my 2 GD's Jessica & Amelia will be coming too, so not sure how much will get done' cos I have to play with them as well! . So, looking forward to a good day.
I was wondering today how this all got started. Who started it, how long has it been going? Genius:bigsmile:
Buzz: Have I congratulated you already on being a loser? (sorry I think it's near my bed time, can't think straight lol) If not a big congratulations.:bigsmile:
Ellie: What is Hot yoga?
Sandy: I don't know what this 30 day shred is, but it sounds very energetic. BTW are you really 70 or are you using someone elses photo lol.:laugh: You look amazing. Whats your secret?
Phoebe: Thank you for explaining the sodium thingy. I wondered why my weight changes so drastically in 1 day. I have added a sodium checker in my diary. Its allowing me 2500 a day. That seems a lot, is that right do you think? I know what you mean about the unshrinkable tummy. Since hitting menopause I seem to have gained a second tummy lol. When I sit at my desk at work, my 'second tummy' sits on the desk:blushing:
Connie: I will be copying your recipe. I love coleslaw. Your mum died so young. I can feel the love & tenderness for hervin your post. You must still miss her very much. I lost my mum too about 5 years ago and I know exactly what you mean about picking up the phone.
Maddie & Grandma: Wishing you both well very soon:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I have tried so many diets over the years, I think I get a bit confused. I knew cheese had to be eaten in moderation, but I got a shock today ,when I decided to have cheese on toast for lunch ( 2 slices at that !). I logged it in my diary and whoah!!! I now have to go do more exercise to burn off some of those calories:sad:
Happy Weekend :bigsmile:0 -
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I've enjoyed today because I had DH to myself all day (except when he had work calls but I'm used to that) and I talked to each for my kids and grandkids. Doesn't get better than that....friends and family and lots of ! :bigsmile: It rained the whole way up, but now it's not raining and it's to get into the 50s tomorrow. There's still some snow laying around, but by the end of the weekend it'll probably be mostly gone. I'm disappointed not to get out and walk today, but I'll do plenty tomorrow.
A while back someone mentioned that there is something on the page to click and you get another window so that you can type your message on one and be going through reading the posts on the other. Can someone remind me how to do that?
Poor Buzz and Marie....these computers are making you :huh: :frown:
:grumble: :explode: Your plight made me have a memory. Years ago when teachers first got computers in our classrooms, it was, of course, a huge challenge because they were not as easy to learn back then as they are now. One of my team members was an old maid teacher long past retirement age. We were in an end-of-year meeting being very frustrated about the computers when she piped up: Computers.....they're like men, can't live with them, can't live without them. It's a line we've all heard, but that was my first time hearing it and coming from that cute, old lady (probably the age I am now!) it was really humorous.
That's it for now. I'm on DH's computer and he'd like it back!0 -
Happy Birthday to you. Flowers just for you. glad you had a great day.
Marie

Two things: Deb, I just turned 69 on March 10th so I am not 70 yet!!!! Remember when you were a kid and you were 5 1/2 and then almost 16 and then near 30, well I am 69 and that is my story and I am sticking to it. :laugh: Thanks for the compliment though, we just have good genes in my family.
Dee, on the bottom of the post where it says reply, right click on it and where it says open link in new window, click on that. Then when both windows are open click on the middle square on top to shrink both windows. Put them side by side and you should be able to scroll down to see everyone's post and then post in your reply box. Understand? Connie was the smart one who told us to do this so she gets the kuddos, not me. Thanks Connie!
Picking up my granddaughter from dance soon, so will check in later.0 -
Just a quick hello to all; more time tomorrow to post'
Yep, Sandy, I do that all the time. MADDIE suggested something I might do when I'm too lazy to start Notepad: Copy before clicking on Post. That way, if I lose it, I can at least Paste it back on a new post! You gals are so helpful :bigsmile:
Deb, thanks for accepting me. I will mull over your suggestion about my DS, too. No time tonight to comment on all the things I read on all your posts, so manana, gals.
And MADDIE, if you are not better than today when tomorrow comes, call your Dr, please? Those meds should be helping
CONNIE, Wow oh WOW! 2.6#. I love it . Bask in the praise; you earned it:drinker:
Buzz0 -
Just a question, at what point will the Big Board close this thread because we have so many posts? ANd will we be warned so we don't fall off?:noway:
Buzz again0 -
Buzz they will close the thread at 500 post we are to remind Sandy when it gets close to 500. So she can start a new thread. for us. I believe we are at 250 now ao we are half way there. Love you buzz.0
-
Connie reported:
Actually, the board automatically locks the current thread when it reaches 500 posts, and then creates a new thread on it's own. No one has to do anything. The last post on this thread will have a link to the new thread. Again, it is all done automatically.0 -
that is true connie. but we can not give a a link by our mrmbers to the new link. I like the warmth of us being in control not a machine. B ut whatever the bunch wants is fine with me.Just so the members understand how it works. and whats going on. I remmeber the first time it happen. That's when we decided to go Monthly.
Back then it tooks us sereral months to reach 5oo.This is the first experence we had where we reach 500 during a month.It is up to Sandy how she wants to handle it.
Oh I found some rhubard at the store today... Got to look up and see how to fix it with splenda as a stewde sauce toput on something. rhubard. anty ideal? Would love a pie but that is out of the question.
Hope My daughter makes it out tomorrow. Some time she has to work on Saturday. me and this pencil don't get along. and my fingers don't either.0 -
Thought for tonight0

thougts for tonight

WOW! I just read through everyone's posts on this new April site. Now, of course, I can't remember who said what! :blushing: Oh, well, that's what I get for taking two weeks off.
As you can see, I survived my surgery. For a while there, I thought that it was going to be a case of "the surgery was successful, unfortunately, the patient died!" However, the pain I am in tells me that I am still here. I am finally starting to feel better, but I am still on pain meds. I see the doctor again next Tuesday. It will be two weeks since surgery. I hope that I will be feeling a lot better by then. I did not know before I had this surgery that there is a three month recovery period. For three months, I cannot lift anything heavier than 12 pounds, I cannot do abdominal exercises, ride a bike, or do any repeated stooping, bending or other similar activities. I can't move any heavy furniture. In other words, a lot of things that all of us do everyday. I am afraid of forgetting my restrictions and causing myself some harm. I have 10 grandchildren, seven of whom, I used to be able to lift. Now that is out of the question for three months.
The one thing that I can do is walk. I started back on my treadmill six days after surgery. I am only walking for 20 minutes a day and then I am not going very fast, but it is a habit that I needed to re-establish. It doesn't hurt to walk - it doesn't stop the pain, but it doesn't add to it either. Thank goodness, I have a treadmill. We had snow falling all day today. I'm glad I could walk indoors.
My prayers are with all of you whose mothers or other family members are ill. I lost my father when I was 34, my mother when I was 51 and my only sibling when I was 56. They are all buried in a small cemetery about 45 miles from my home. I think about them every day. I have not yet gotten past the impulse to want to pick up the phone and call. I am so grateful to still have my husband and all of our children.
I loved everyone's jokes. I'm sorry about the computer problems that some of you are having. I hope they get resolved soon.
Congratulations to all of you who have lost weight, or been able to sustain an exercise program, or food plan. I didn't lose any weight last month, however, I didn't gain any either so I am still OK with that. Obviously, my exercise will be limited for the next three months. I am back on my food plan, so I am hoping for a better weight loss this month.
Marie, I haven't heard from you. Did I read that you had decided to go back to the South Beach Diet?
Good luck to all of you!0 -
Morning girls! Up at the crack of dawn again, OH snoring softly! So crept downstairs and put the computer on to catch up. Percy the pheasant is in the garden with his new partner. I hope it wasn't her I frightened coming down the lane the other day! I had to brake quite hard, a pheasant once took the grill out of our old car! Suns up and we're set fair for another beautiful day. The house is sparkling as we gave it a good "bottoming" yesterday. (north country phrase for cleaning) So all I have to do is plan the menu's for the next few days.
Sandy, Toad in the Hole is sausages cooked in a Yorkshire pudding batter. Comfort food at it's best! In Yorkshire (in days of yore) "yorkshire pudding" was used as a cheap way to fill stomachs. I remember as a child my mother would make 2 vast tins of it , one to be served with gravy, and the other to go with the roast beef. And THEN,,we had a pudding :ohwell: No wonder I was a fat child!
http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/english/toad-in-the-hole-with-roasted-onion-gravy.html
The 30 Day Shred is hard isn't it? I have to steel myself to do it, and to be honest since my zumba game came I've stuck to that. It doesn't have the strength element but makes me sweat more! And yes Fleur was in Harry Potter. I have all the books and am waiting to get the latest dvd on Monday as I didn't see it at the cinema!
Elli I too am intrigued as to what hot yoga is! Sounds like something Sting might do!
Phoebe, I know what you mean by the stomach. I call it my wad! I'll know when I'm winning when I can't feel it resting on my thighs when I'm sitting down! There was a good article in one of the papers here the other week saying that forgetting why you'd gone upstairs was not a sign of impending Altzheimers, good job I've been doing it for a good 40 years!
Gigi you sound as if your head (and body) are back in the right place.
Marie, I am very lucky re my computer, my youngest son used to work for IBM, so if I have a problem I ring him It's so much easier for the generation that were brought up with them. He keeps saying "just play around and find what it can do" but obviously I have little imagination :laugh: He was however VERY suprised when he found out I went on forums, he said he never imagined me as a forum type, whatever that is!
Maddie, don't do too much too soon. Your body will tell you when to stop, but don't push yourself. If you've had a general anaesthetic it will still be working it's way out of your system. Your pain levels should be going down by now, I agree with Buzz, see the doc! Operations are not routine, they are "an assault" on the body and it needs rest to get over it. Gentle walking is good. It's early days. It took the best part of 3 months to stop falling asleep after tea when I had my hysterectomy, and I was 33 then! Take care!
Deb make sure you have your slap on in the garden today! They said the sun would be strong! And it's only just April! Enjoy your G kids.
And for all the ladies I haven't mentioned, I hope you have a peaceful weekend.
And finally for all the households that are owned by cats and dogs
PET RULES
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
1. The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food.
Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
2. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
3. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible.
4. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
5. For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom.
If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered.
Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.
6. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
(That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.0 -
Welcome back xyla. Sorry you are still in, and glad you are being careful, you are smart to do that. I once knew a lady with a very large stomach, but it was also very 'loose'. She said when she had her surgery, she went back to work too soon, strained herself, and the stomach was the result. Not pleasant, and frustrating for her.
Judi, I love that pet rules, aka pets rule that you posted. I like to tell houseguests that if you think you swallowed a cat hair, it probably wasnt the first one! We get taken out to eat more often that way Lol!
Marie, I think you and your pencil are becoming good friends! Lol
Dee, glad you had a good birthday.
Deb, I'm not sure about sodium intake maximums. Several other sneakers count theirs and should be able to help there. More like 1600. Buzz is down to 1000.0 -
Good morning everyone,
Got up early, suppose to be a warm day in Central illinois but looks like gray and raining so I need to get going, my guest are coming this evening, got the house cleaning yesterday forgot to keep track of the time I spend cleaning oh well, made my dessert Lemon Bars I know that is not healthy but I will have a very small one. Here is the rest of the menu Roasted Salmon with Lemon and Dill - Black Bean Rice (Cuban Style) Mix Salad with home made dressing and Roasted Orange-Ginger Asparagus
I'm hungry already.
Maddie - How are you feeling, Did you get to the Dr. prayers are with you and grandma
Marie - Awesome What a beautiful thought-I believe we must share chocolate with a friend
Xyla - Welcome back, I was gone for a while, what kind of surgery did you have, keep walking is our way to slim:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Judi - Loved the pets rules:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:specially the one for the Non-Pet Oweners Who Visit & Like to Complain
Phebe - So glad you're home and posting so early, take care and have a super weekend:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good Morning! Mom still in the hospital, sounds a little better but not really better. I have not spoken to her Dr even though I left info on her chart to be called and I told her to have him call me. I guess he can't read and she can't remember.
Judi: I didn't have surgery...I have COPD/Asthma so I am having trouble breathing. This is my second round of steroids and antibiotics. Don't tell the group but for two days, all I wanted to eat was vanilla ice cream....got on the scale this morning, scared to death, but stayed the same.......:noway: I have a theory about that....which I'll share in a moment. AND, I love the rules :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
xyla: Glad your home and feeling better. I had no idea recovery was that long....do the best you can but don't hurt yourself!!!!:flowerforyou:
Marie: Good idea...never eat chocolate alone....especially since we all know that the dark chocolate is good for you...woo hoo!
MY THEORY ABOUT STAYING THE SAME: Warning.....some information may make the same thing happen to you!!
When my mother was in rehab last year, she couldn't get around too fast and so she couldn't get to the bathroom in time. They gave her something like Depends that you pull up and down like underwear which worked very well. I had previously mentioned here that I am coughing, laughing and peeing all at the same time so I thought...hey, maybe I should wear a pair of them to bed. :ohwell: I felt several years older but did it anyway. In the middle of the night, I don't know if I stopped breathing or what but I heard this loud sound like the smoke alarm and opened my eyes, saw my grandsons spider man action figure flashing red lights and screeching...(I saw it but it really wasn't there).. I sat straight up started to cough and kept coughing for a good long time and yes, you guessed it........I peed!!!! So, my theory is that since I wasn't holding any water this morning, that's why I stayed the same......:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Happy Saturday!! :bigsmile: As Gigi and I leave in the same area we are also expecting warm weather, just waiting for the sun to come out. (Lynn, that is your cue for the Annie song) Tomorrow it is supposed to be near 80 but violent storms tomorrow night. :grumble:
Maddie, I hope your meds kick in today and you start to feel better, stress is such a big facture in any illness and not being able to see your mom isn't helping. Vanilla ice cream is one of my favorites but I buy all sugar free ice cream or skinny cow bars. I can't wait for lent to be over so I can indulge in something sweet if just for a day, like Easter Sunday. :drinker: Your story about the depends is funny and scary, it sounds like you hallucinated before the big "P". I hope things start improving for you and grandma.
Gigi, your dinner sounds delicious, do you have extra room for more guests? You have been working out so hard, it sounds like you have your program on track. :flowerforyou:
Phoebe, you are one of the kindest people I have ever "talked" too. You always have something nice to say and are always encouraging. I think you and Marie must have the best dispositions and that is why you are such good friends.
:laugh: Judi, as a dog lover which many of us are I loved your rules and think they are absolutely true. :laugh: The Toad in the Hole sounds like it is our cream of wheat or farina with sausages in the middle. Sounds good if we weren't watching our calories. Zumba sounds harder to me than my shred, of course I am not a good dancer and maybe I am intimidated by it. Of course Xyla knew it was she you were talking about with the surgery, it is so hard not to mix up names here.
Maddie has breathing problems and her mom is in the hospital but the doctors don't want Maddie to go there so as not to give her mom any germs.
Marie, where are you this morning? Did you sleep in late? I hope you bring a note explaining why you are late. :laugh:
Connie, it is great that they automatically have a link to the new post, but I think Marie means that some of us need a gentle reminder on where to find us when they do that, so between the two of us (you and I) we will make sure they do.
So when I got on the scale this morning, it said 129.8. Now my goal is 129 (first goal) so even though it is not officially 129 I recorded the weight loss because I was so happy to see that number. Even if it goes up tomorrow, for today I am smiling. :bigsmile: Unfortunately we are going out for dinner tonight and to my step sons tomorrow. I plan on being very careful what I order and exercise to get more calories because I am working so hard. What a journey we are on, and it is now a new lifestyle so we have to do this for the rest of our lives if we want to stay healthy and thinner. :flowerforyou:
Have a great day!!0 -
