    Hi CALIECAT, I'm new, just started logging my food yesterday. It is a good way to keep track of things. It's very interesting to find out how much I was eating before I started using the food dairy. I' m also a diabetic. I take Byetta and Medforim. I went 12 years without taking any meds then last year I had to start taking meds. I love to walk and have been walking for about 8 years. Your Jack Russell is cute. I just got me an American Cocker and we are in the pottie training stage right now. He is only 8 weeks old and I have had him for just a week. I'm from Mustang, OK. About 18 miles from Oklahoma City. Hope you have a wonderful day. I don't have my profile made out yet so guess I should get busy.

    Hi, glad to hear from you. My little dogs name is Toby. He is so attached to me, he just follows me everywhere.

    I had a very busy day today. My granddaughters birthday was today and I made her a dinner then we had cake. Yes, I had cake. It was not on my plan today but I don't think I did to bad. Sometimes it is so hard not to have something when everyone else is eating it. I think that is my biggest down fall. I hope you had a wonderful day. I'm going to bed now, I'm so tired after cooking that big meal.

    Hi Jeffrey,
    so glad you dropped in. Have been wondering about you. Nice to see you back.
    I have been working on my menues, it is hard to keep your calories up and keep your carbs in line too. At least it is to me.
    But I will keep working on it till I get it right.

    Marie,

    Good to hear back from you too. Just hang in there. Pick up your exercise as best you can. A little more walking will make a difference. Do you do any strength training at all? It is really good for all aspects of physical well being. It doesn't have to be excessive to generate benefits. Good for the bones too! Have a good evening! Stay in touch!

    Jeffrey

    By the way, due to some German Chocolate cake and an inherant weakness on my part for cake, I have used all my calories for the day, so I will have to work out extra tonight if I want supper! LOL

    Good morning all you seniors Pals.

    Another beatiful day here, but a cold front is coming in tonight but no wet stuff.

    I have a Dallas Cowboy game to wacht tonight. Always look forward to that. Win or lose:yawn: :yawn:

    I got in a little exercise yeaterday, Walk around the block with my Walker that has a seat and I had to stop and rest serveal times. For some reason my ankle was both hurting and of couse my back and legs. But I made it. Will go again before the cold front hit. Also did some weight lifting with my 2 lbs weights. Pretty good for an old woman like me.

    I had a nice breakfast of eggs , Whole grains english muffinwith diet jelly and low calorie margarin spread and 2 cuties tangerines. That should las me till lunch time. Which will be tuna and zucchinie. Don't know about tonight.

    I got a lovely E-Mail Christmas card this morning. It was so cute. from a dear friend.

    Dh and Sammy has gone for there morning walk.

    Good for you Calie! Keep it up! I am very proud of you. It sounds like you pushed yourself just enough!
    We are getting ready to go pick up our oldest daughter at the Detroit Airport. It will be great to have both of them home for Christmas! I just posted a 2# loss for this week! Did 2 hours of yoga last night and it was a killer! I am still sore!

    Weather is still crappy here, 22 degrees with more ice on the ground and in trees than you can imagine. Our best friends have not had power for going on 2 days now, but they have geneators so it could be worse.

    Everyone have a great Saturday!

    Jeffrey Be careful out on the roads. How far is it to the airport.? I know your wife and you will have a lovely time with your daughters. Family time is the best.

    Great on your loss. Marie
