Hi Biggramma--- Say if you keep up all of that you will have to change your name. Wouldn't that be nice.

Hey Phoebe---You and your cats. How about Meanie is he still around. He probable don't like you anymore after taking him to the vet.

Jeffrey , I have a yoga tape I will drag out and see what I can do. I know that they say it will help your balance. I also have some of Richard Simon tapes.

Pat---I am glad you are in a better frame of mind. SDon't get discourage here.

Ellie----My husband is a diabetic too. But his is under control by pills and he does not watch his food at all. icecream and pies on weekend nights. Biscuit and gravy . The whole nine yards.But his blood sugar is under controlds.I don't know how. I am on 2 different kind of insulin taken 4 times a day. I got a perfect reading last month on my 3 month check up. It takes controling my carbs to do so.


I went to the eye doctor today and my pressure is up in my left eyes and he wants to do Laser on it to bring the pressure down. in a couple weeks.

But this food chart make it so easy and fun. Thanks MFP>

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is having a great day! I don't know if any of you eat these but they are very good. Healthy choice Cafe Steamers. They have many different types, chicken, beef, etc. They usually have about 250-320 calories per meal. The portions are somewhat small but that is to be expected. They are really good. Anyway, Target has had them on sale for $2 each. That is about 20% less than Sam's Club has them for. Just 5 minutes in the microwave and dinner is served! LOL And at $2 per meal and dieting and no cooking, what's not to like?

Keep exercising and moving!

Jeffrey

GOOD MORNING

Nothing going on with me today....I have had my breakfast...One cup of Cheerios and a 100 calorie pack of Crasins....and of course my 2 cups of coffee:drinker:

It is a little cold and damp here in the Central Valley of California...No sun in sunny California.

I am liking this site..except for the blogs...it is hard to find my friend's blogs...and I do not know if you can post pictures on your blogs like I can on CK....I use PhotoBucket....

Like I said yesterday I did post a few photos of my critters (JJ and JJ'sKitty) on my profile...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday.:flowerforyou:

BIGGRAMMA

CALIECAT I posted yesterday here how JJ'sKitty got her name......I had an old cat 20 years old...well when she passed away JJ mourned her so much...kept going out on the patio and looking for her and whinning...so I got a kitten....named her JJ's Kitty...Makes it easy when I say to JJ "Where is JJ's Kitty":laugh:
Hope you like the Kashi bars....I do not have a Super Target here..but they sure sell a lot of food products there...and cheaper than the grocery store...I buy all of my cereal and brown rice there...and yesterday they had a deal on some low sodium soup....

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA

Here I be, finally!! I've been gone all day, my goodness, time is flying.. Yes, Biggramma, I hated to see Mervyns go.. They opened them here in Georgia many years ago, then they closed them, I was sick about it, but I knew I could go to one in CA sometimes.. now.. boo hoo.. they were nice stores.
I can remember what I ate today, even though I haven't used the food diary yet.. that is a bit of an accomplishment for me, coz I usually snack, and can't remember what I had..
I should have gotten a HC cafe steamer, I got some of the no freezer or refrigeration meals, forgot them name, but the asian beef with noodles was too sweet for me.. it was mostly noodles, not enough protein.
I Love Kashi TLC bars.. I bought three boxes this week, pumpkin spice, trail mix and honey almond flax.. They have the protein I need to keep my energy up without taking in so many carbs, and I will try just about anything with lots of fiber as well.. I think these two, protein and hi fiber help to control blood sugar.. I also got some kind of bar from Quaker, hopefully dh will like it.. it is banana oat or something. Jeffrey, I can tell you are very motivated, and organized too.. I know it is a great feeling when you know you have accomplished something that was pretty tough to get going.
I still don't do enough exercise, walking, but not enough. I do park farther away from buildings, except at night. That is a good way to get in some walking, and I always try to return my cart to the store instead of the cart return area.. also, pick up a couple of wayward carts and push them back to the store on my way in to shop.
I'm getting hungry, as late as it is.. I'm still going to have dinner.. leftovers from last nights stir fry done with olive oil, about a tablespoon, and then steamed.. Marie, I looked up the turbo cooker on a website, and I don't see how you make toast in it, unless you just put it in the bottom of the skillet and flip it like a pancake? Maybe I didn't see the same one you have... it looks like a skillet, with a rack in it, and a lid.. is that it?
I saw the funniest video, called 'Why AARP sells Life Insurance'.. one of the women appeared to be trying a yoga pose and got stuck, she was rolling around like a little ball.. had to laugh.. I kept thinking.. 'That could be me!!' :bigsmile:
Time for dinner take care all have a great night.. sooner or later, I'll get to the add a signature thingy.

Hi everyone, just thought I better check in.

Marie, my dog is really growing. He is such a sweet puppy. One of these days I will get some pictures on here.

pjsattic, I'm not sure but I think you ask about Weight Watchers. I belong to Weight Watchers on line. It is a good program but I think I would rather log my food on here. Their new plan is about the same as flex and core. Not a whole lot of difference. This is just so much easier for me and it is free. I will probably give my membership up and stay right here. You all are just so supportive.

Jeffrey, glad to have you here. Wow you have done good with your weight loss. I love yoga and I need to start doing it again. I walk a lot and then I stretch. My doctor wants me to add weights so I need to get with it. I do a little weights but need to add a little more.

Biggramma, I just looked at your pictures, you are doing so good. You just look great.

Hope you all had a nice day. I need to get in bed so I can get up early and go walk. Talk to you tomorrow.

Pat :flowerforyou:

what do you all think?

I forgot to tell you that there is a site that is called bootcampbuddies.com and they support weight watchers. I think if you go there you can learn all about the new plan. I hope I got that right. You might google it and see what you come up with.

Hi Marie, Toby is doing great, he is really growing. Right now he is like a two year old. He hates it when I go to work. He is so happy when I get home. Thanks for the changing serving size, that is very helpful. I have been on here all morning and have been all over on the message boards. I need to start getting ready for work. I just love this site. How is your little dog doing? Oh, I forgot to tell you that my husband name is Jerry too.

Hi Pat-- Isn't that strange Our husband has the same name. Well I have been at his computer for 1 1/2 hour Time to get up and get a nice breakfast. Got to take my embroidery machine in to get it work on again. The times just fly when you are enjoying yourself.--Marie

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA

you two, Pat and Marie, have already put in a big day, and I'm barely getting started. Pat, if Toby is your dog, and he is still young, you are lucky he doens't tell you how upset he gets when you leave by tearing the house up!! My dogs used to do that.. made me nuts, but I couldn't fuss at him, he was such a sweetie.
Marie, I checked out your oven, and it is not the one I was looking at. I see that it is an appliance and not a skillet for the stove. I'm sure you are enjoying it.. you know usually when they sell something on tv, you can wait a bit and buy it at walmart.. but I don't remember if they ever sold those, do you?
I got my slice design cutting machine yesterday, opened it last night, plugged it in to charge.. then read the instructions thoroughly.. now I'm not so sure about it.. every time you use it, you must use a repositionable glue, then place your paper or cardstock on that, then cut.. I don't know if I like that glue or not.. seems it will be messy, so I'm going to think about it a while.
I took 'Pudge', the new cat, for a ride this morning. We went to the post office. He cried a little, then got quiet.. he let me hold him, and what bothered him most was the vehicles going by us.. he got into the floorboard under my legs and never made another peep. He might do well on the road, but I still want to leave him at home with our male cat.. to help them become used to each other.
Today, I am rearranging Christmas decorations, cards gift wrap. got to get to it, although I'd love to avoid it, but I can't walk thru here anymore, so I have no more excuses!!
Thank you Marie and Pat for the grocery lists and boot camp buddies link.. I think that the best choice for me right now is right here.
take care all and have a great day!!
Phoebe
