Marie, be strong! Perhaps the good Lord didn't want him to suffer, just like my BIL in December. These things are always so difficult! Sending you a million hugs!:brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart:

OK Here goes. My name is Judy. I moved to Gardner Kansas 2 years ago from the Jersey Shore. What was I thinking you ask? I gave up the Ocean for the man I love. Everyone go ahhhhh. It's an Oprah story. Pete & I met in 1968 on the dance floor in Lakehurst, NJ. He was in the Navy and I lived there. (Jersey - not the dance floor) We dated while he was stationed there and continued for about a year long distance. Distance won, he married someone else. I didn't. 25 years later he got a divorce, looked me up on the internet and I was right where he left me. We long distanced again for 10 years. I was the caregiver for my Mom until she passed in 05. He finally wised up and asked me to move to KS. I did.

My beloved blonde Cocker Spaniel, Maxwell passed 2 years ago. Just about ready for another critter.

Regarding my weight loss. I have a large abdominal hernia that requires surgery but they won't do it until I lose 130 lbs. In 2001 I went on a liquid diet and lost 90 lbs. No surprise - I found it again. I had lap-band surgery this past April. Some people say I took the easy road. Believe me it's just as hard. A whole new way of life.

Just finished 30 minutes on the wii. Golfing. I love that little machine with the exception of that little witch that tells me I'm obese everytime I weigh in. She thinks I don't know.

Hope that wasn't too long and boring.

Hi Judy - thank you for sharing your story with us - and what a story it is!!!!! I'm glad Pete finally got smart and asked you to move to Kansas! I was born and raised in NY, moved to Colorado when i was 18. So when you said you moved from NJ to KS - all i thought was "smart girl"! It seems like you are WELL on you way to getting your surgery done! Congratulations! I've heard lots of great things about that wii fit - one of these days i'll get one. Do they have a kickboxing program???? I used to really like that.

Jeffrey - sounds like kind of a brutal workout yesterday - i can't imagine running, none the less running in the COLD! brrrrrrrrrrrr:noway: Take it a LITTLE easy on yourself! YES! we DID get the munchies after burning the weed(s)! We went right out for chinese food!:bigsmile: I can't believe what a RELIEF it is now that there aren't yucky brown weeds taller than me crowding each other in the garden! WHEW! I can't wait 'till Dakota comes and tills it up! I'm SO excited to have my garden back!

Marie - how are you doing??????

Birdie - i was thinking the same thing about Marie's brother - he didn't suffer and go through weeks of pain.......Some things are just not for us to understand i guess. Very hard though. How are YOU doing?? I know you were struggling for a bit. Just know we ALL go through those times - but you seem to pick yourself right up. So you ate a bag of rice cakes - it COULD have been a bag of potato chips!

Take care everyone and have a good day.

Hey Judy what a wonderful love story I see that barbs is going have some competion on story telling. She keeps us laughting and I can see the humor in your writing too. Love it.

Elli, I am doing just fine. My yougest brother is helping my SIL with the furneral arrangement this morning. My son is coming in tomroow hope he bring the rest of the family down. I heard from one grandaughter on facebook that she might can make it down.
Alice had Day surgery yesterday and is back at work.They remove a stone on where her gall bladder used to be and think that is what she has been having so much pain here lately. She is on a soft diet.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Judy welcome! Nice to read your story. Thank you for sharing. We will help keep you motivated! My wife and I used to have a blonde cocker named Crumpet. He lived about 12 years. We still have pictures of him with the family.

Elli I have one more question. Was the date younger than you? I am needing characters for my MFP version of "Cougar Town"! LOLLOLLOL!

Marie nice to read your post. The casseroles sound good! I had salad with 2 oz of beef for lunch along with a 1/4 cup of raisins and walnuts. I will eat more for supper. Man am I hungry!

Gayla how long until the cruise?

Birdie good hear from you today.

Sandy whats new in the Windy City? I have got to get up there soon. I love that town. I am especially fond of "Lowreys".

Barbie where you and Jake at today?

Viliberty just keep at it! Watch your salt intake. I preach that a lot. Salt holds water in the body and is generally found in things that are not that good for you. You are doing fine just stay at it!

Everyone else check in!

I have a plyometric work out tonight. One hour of jumping with 1 60 second break. And if we do not get the freezing rain I am planning on running tonight and spending a little time on the spinning bike. I will be whining tomorrow. LOL

May God Bless and Keep Us All!

Hi everyone from snowy Saskatchewan, -9C (16F). I had to take Neil in to see his ortho. surgeon today, nicest Dr. ever. He says if all the patients were like Neil it would be wonderful. He only sees the happy, good natured Neil. I think I should unload Neil on him when he is in one of his meltdowns. I digress, life is good. The Dr. thinks he will take some of the metal out of Neil's foot after this next surgery is done. He could do it at the same time but he will need that leg to weight bear on so we will wait a bit. He is sending us to see someone who will make a little support for Neil's big toe so that the loose nail will not be so irritating. Dave is uber cranky the past few days. Can I send him somewhere where someone will tell him he has the best wife ever and he better shape up!!! :grumble:

Marie -- You and your family are in my thoughts at this very sad time. I hope your son and family get home. You amaze me to get right on track with your diet at the difficult time. Take care my friend.

Jeffrey -- Thanks for making me smile today. 3 weeks until the cruise.

I really will catch up with you all soon. Welcome Judy.

Take care. Gayla

CALIECAT

Hey 3 weeks. thats pretty close. I hope the weather will be nice for your trip. Does Neil have a swim suit.? the water will be nice for him. You get around like you don't weigh anything untill you get out.You know. How long will you all be gone? I would love to see the sites but not being on a big cruise boat.

Jerry has his spells of being a mite bit cranky too. I guess we all do to but don't notice it as much.

It is sunny here but into the 50's still too cool for me. Jerry thinks my blood is made out of ice water. Wait till this summer when my blood is boiling. I will havve to remember how cold I have been all winter.

Have a good day. Marie

Marie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Judy

Marie -- you are so doggone sweet BUT wrong answer!! I wanted you to say you would come and kick him in the you know where!!
Love ya, Gayla :laugh:

barbiecat

:brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart: Marie, I am so sorry to hear about your brother and glad that you were able to see him at the end and that you have family to be with you at this difficult time.

:flowerforyou: I have been swamped with paperwork----two pieces land on my desk for every piece I deal with and i still haven't even started on all the paper shuffling and number gathering I have to do for the income tax....especially with the business this year........given a choice between the dog park and MFP, the dogs keep winning.....I've been posting food and getting 10,000 steps a day but not spending nearly as much time on the computer.

:flowerforyou: My goals for myself for February are about maintaining my weight and not going crazy adding calories, also doing the yoga I haven't been successful in doing and adding strength training.....I think we should all have goals about logging food every day and checking in with each other

:flowerforyou: Judy, thank you for sharing your wonderful love story..it is great getting to know you better. We have two dogs, Brandy and Sasha, both Standard Poodles along with two cats....the pets take up a lot of my time.

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, you keep adding such interesting workouts.....I keep hearing that changing your workouts is a good thing for weight loss and building muscle.....no wonder you're so successful:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Birdie, keep on keeping on......you have all the skills you need to get you through the rough patches.....just stay in the moment and all will be well

:flowerforyou: Gayla, it looks like you'll be home to watch the Olympics on TV before you head off on your cruise......I know you and Dave and Neil must be really excited about:bigsmile:

hugs to all Barbie

I am checking in late tonight but today was a busy day for me and a bad day for exercising so bad for calories. :mad: I played cards one on one with my friend Lou who will be 87 on Valentine's Day. I did win but felt a little guilty taking his money, although he would have no problem taking mine. :laugh: After that I went to the grocery store and then picked up my granddaughter for dance and once home it was time to make dinner. whew.... I roasted a chicken and according to the food chart it says a roasted chicken one serving is over 350 calories. How discouraging was that, along with my salad and rice it was a costly dinner for calories, over 800 (of course that included my two glasses of wine, one while I cook and the other with dinner). And even though I didn't have lunch today I still managed to go over my calories by 273. Now before you all lecture me on the wine, I am just letting others know that I too waste calories on wine and I am not proud of that. :noway: Tomorrow will be a better day and I will work extra hard to gain more calories.

Judy, your story was great, love conquers all no matter how many years it takes. I agree with Marie, you are a talented writer like Barbie. I know of another person, a guy, who had the same surgery, he is doing great but like you said it is a life change. I haven't seen him for a while (he is from the place I play bingo) but I am told he gained a little of his weight back but I think it is from the beer he loves to drink. I too, have a dog, an Old English Sheepdog who will soon be 9 months old and weighs over 75 pounds. She is very wild even though she has been to obedience class, but we love her dearly.

I talked to Marie on Face Book and she is doing well. Her family is coming to be with her and her younger brother is making all the arrangements. I think she will be fine, just will be tiring for her and emotional I am sure.

Gayla, I'm with you, I just don't understand why men get to cranky for nothing, women never do that!!! Besides what would they do without us, we are the best wives and we deserve to be treated like princesses.

Better get to bed, getting very sleepy. :yawn:

Sandy

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Good morning
:flowerforyou: Judy, I know several people who have had weight loss surgery

---

only two of them found the weight loss success they were seeking and both of them did it the same way you are, by finding an eating and exercise plan to follow and a support group to be accountable to and to share the journey. I hope we can assist in being the support group that will help you reach your goal....MFP will supply the tools for creating a food and exercise plan :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Sandy, I know how those busy days are, I've been having a series of them myself.....I keep working at organizing my priorities so I don't leave the Senior Golden Sneakers until last .....we have had such great weather that the dogs and I have gone to the dog park every day and that takes a big piece of the afternoon. On Tuesdays we have a two hour meeting for our business and yesterday it was my turn to do the presentation so we got there early to set up the system to show the DVD so even more of my of my day was consumed. Today I have to go to the dentist :sad: Wine isn't a temptation for me but peanut butter is:laugh: :laugh:

:flowerforyou: Marie, I'm thinking of you and sending (((((((((hugs)))))))))

:flowerforyou: Haifa is feeling much better. This morning he sneaked out when I was walking the dogs which threw off my careful schedule of when he has breakfast and when he gets his insulin........he's sitting in my lap right now trying to get my attention and get in the way of the computer. Last night when I started working on some income tax related papers, he lay down on top of them.

:flowerforyou: I'm glad for our nice weather, but if it's nice here, then it doesn't bode well for snow in Vancouver for the Olympics.:sad:

Thanks again for all of your concerned. I am doing OK
got me a nice veggies casserole cooking for my lunch. Its hard to stay on your program with all of this. But I will make it. I grab a Fiber one bar for lunch the other day at the hospital More carbs that I needed but better than some of the things I could have eaten At least I got some fiber in. I am sure we will be eating out thru this. Also we are having a family gathering out at Kathy Saturday Bruce and his family will be here till Sunday.
Just wanted to pop in and say hello to you all.

Marie

BirdieM

Just a quick hello, as I am at work....and it's still busy but not as "over the top" busy as it was in January.
I got weighed this morning and to my surprise I lost another 2 lbs! :bigsmile: I was so sure I gained as I have not been able to exercise and had a couple sloppy days. So 40 down and 10 to go!:bigsmile:

The only thing I am concerned about, is that I have had spouts of dizzyness off and on for the last week. I tried to get back on the treadmill this week and lost my balance as I did last week. :ohwell: Barb, I did look at my protein amounts and they seem to be what this web site suggests. I'm going for my yearly check up in a couple of weeks and will have him do bloodwork done to make sure that I'm not lacking any nutrients. It could be Vertigo or something.:ohwell:

In the meantime, drinking tons of water:drinker: :drinker: and trying to stick to my 1200 calories a day!:flowerforyou:

Have a great day everyone....even in the UK!!!

BirdieM

Marie, glad you're doing okay! You're one strong lady

jeffrey71

Good afternoon everyone!

Gayla! 3 weeks and counting! Have you checked out Cruise Critic web site? You can find your cruise there and there is a bulleting board like this one to post on. We have met a lot of friends on ship through the Cruise Critic site. I recommend it!

Marie glad you are doing well. Hang in there!

Barbie I just finished my taxes last weekend. What a mess! I have Sam's to do yet. I will be glad when it is done.

Birdie careful on the dizziness. I would not put off seeing a doc about that. AND 1200 calories may just be enough for you. Keep me posted!

Sandy glad you are doing well! Keep a winnin"!

Last nights workout was good, very tough. Started with a 2.5 mile run with a negative split (1st half slower than last half) time was solid 8 minute miles. Then did my 1 hour of plyometrics, 1400 calorie burn on the plyo. Then did the spinning for 15 minutes. All non stop. Today my knee is killing me. I think I am going to up my calories and see what that does. I may not have enough fuel for the workouts. Tonight is just 2 hours of yoga. I am looking forward to that. I should feel great in the morning.

Everyone have a great day!

Jeffrey

Birdie - is your dizzyness when you tip your head? Either to the side, or look up at the sky? I know i've had this thing called BPPV. It's VERY annoying but not at all serious and you fix it with an exercise. Maybe that's what your dizzy is. Let me know if you think that's what it is and i'll send you a pm with everything i know about it. Congrats on losing 40 pounds!!!!!!! That's AWESOME. And don't you just LOVE it when you think you're going to gain and you lose?!?!?!?!:bigsmile:

Jeffrey - what exactly is pyrometrics? Wow - you do 2 hours of yoga?!?!?!? That's pretty amazing. I don't know if i could do 2 hours of hot yoga. 1 1/2 is about all i can take!:noway:

Marie - try not to make yourself too crazy about the food right now. Do as well as you can and just get through the next few days. Hang in there - we're ALL thinking about you and sending you our love and prayers.

Barbie - that's great that Haifa is more back to his old self! Must be such a relief for you and Jake!

Sandy - i really like my 2 glasses of wine also......i try and limit it to once or twice a week. Sheesh - we have to have SOME vices don't we? yea yea, i know - i have the whole weed thing going on:laugh: I hope you, Gayla, Barbie, Birdie, Marie, Judy.......and anyone else i left out are all getting treated like princesses this afternoon! I know i raised my boys to treat their girls that way!!!!!!!!

I did hot yoga again last nite - wow - i'm SO glad to be back to it! I'll go again on Friday too. I was going to walk the dogs this afternoon but it's getting kinda nasty out so i think i'll head over to the gym. It sure is hard to stick to the 1200 calories when i have a no exercise day........And today i went and had my annual (i've been putting it off since November) and mammogram......now i have to have a bone scan and colonoscopy - NOT looking forward to THAT. But my PA has been bugging me to do it since i was 50.......finally giving in:grumble: NOT a big fan of tests!


Hugs to you all!:drinker: elli

Hi everyone! I wasn't going to post tonight as I need to get to bed early. I am going to take Neil in to work in the morning and then Dave will pick him up. that is the reverse of our usual day but my sister and I are going out tomorrow morning to do the dreaded bathing suit shopping!!! I will likely dream about large ladies in bathing suits! My husband, bless his cotton socks, said "can't you be done in time to pick Neil up at noon?" Now isn't that silly? I expect I will just be getting into a good depression at about that time. I have a feeling I know why Dave has been cranky. I think he is having hearing issues again as I am noticing the TV is getting very loud. I will ask him about it as if he is having problems again he should get it checked before we go away. It wasn't long ago that he had an ear infection and the only clue was he couldn't hear out of that ear. In fairness, that would make me cranky too. BUT. . . he still ticked me off. Wonderful wife that I am, I did make him dinner. Was I supposed to have a smile on my face???

I wanted to check in on Marie. I am glad your family is gathering. Enjoy your memories.

Jeffrey -- Thanks for the cruise hint. I will check it out.

Sandy -- Thanks, friend.

Elli -- I wanted to tell you that the colonoscopy isn't so bad. I have had several, not a picnic but tolerable. The worst part of the whole exercise is drinking that terrible stuff the day before. Once you get through that you are on the home stretch.

Take care everyone and keep smiling. Off to bed with me. I hope I don't lie there looking at the ceiling. Gayla

Good Morning Everyone,

Went to bingo last night and do not win...........................:mad: It is fun to be with friends though so I guess I did win in that way. :happy:

Doing some laundry, then my 4 year old granddaughter is coming for an hour until I take her to preschool, off to my meeting, stop at the store for some Valentine's Day cards, come home make dinner and then pack for our weekend in Kansas City. I am hoping to get at least 30 minutes of exercise in there somewhere, at least I hope I do. :bigsmile:

So since I have so much to do with so little time my post is short, just to say hi and hope you are all keeping on track. Have a good day and I am sure I will check in tonight. I also am bringing my laptop to Kansas City so I will be checking in with you from there.

Have a wonderful day!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good Thursday Morning Everyone!

Another gloomy day in Indiana! Land of ..... well..... land! The workout last night was probably the smoothest yoga workout that Ihave ever had. I wasn't tight and my flexibility was very good. I feel real good today with the exception of a little continued knee pain. I barely broke a sweat last night and that did not make me happy, but the workout was good. I am backing off the knee for a bit to see if it makes any difference so far it has not. Tonight I am planning on a double core workout and maybe some bike time depending on the knee. I am going to shoot for 2750 calorie burn. That should be intense enough!

Elli my workout calls for the 2 hours of yoga weekly. I really love it! I feel so good the next day. Kind of like a massage for the soul. I am getting fairly advanced in my technique and ability but it has been quite a challenge. Yoga is tough! I still struggle a little with Twisting half moon and Warrior 3 when Ihave to hold them for more than 3 or 4 minutes. I have very good leg strength and it really pushes them to the max. I have never done the hot yoga but I am really wanting to try it. My oldest daughter does it and loves it. Plyometrics is "jump training". It consist of one hour of constant jumping, twisting and rotational moves. Some are done on 1 leg and some on 2. It is very intense and a maximum cardio workout. My heart rate will hold at about 150 to 165 when I am really going at it. The down side of this is the impact to the lower body. You have to be very careful not land flat footed and try to stay on your toes and balls of the feet. It is really a calorie burner though. Usually I get a burn of over 1050 per hour and I have had as much as 1325 before according to my monitor. Check it out! You might like it!

Gayla this is an order! Focus on the cruise and having fun! You hear me girl??? LOL

Everyone else have a great day! I will check in on you all later!

Jeffrey

Good morning everyone - good attitude Sandy - about winning 'cause you were with friends! What are you doing in Kansas City?

Marie - sorry i missed you on fb last night - the computer was on but i was in the living room watching tv!

Gayla - my other friends have told me the same thing about the colonoscopy - the prep for it is the worst part...........i think half of it is my whole attitude. TRYING to work on that. I just can't STAND tests when nothing seems to be wrong - BUT intellectually i understand that it's important to catch some things BEFORE they start presenting symptoms.:ohwell: I should just shut up and be GRATEFUL that we have these types of things available to us! OK! i will work on that. Glad we had this little "talk"
I'm hoping the bathing suit try on won't be as bad as your thinking! Maybe you WILL be done by noon or at least NOT horribly depressed! One time when i was SOOO huge i had to buy a bathing suit 'cause the boys and i were travelling by car to southern CA and a BIG part of the fun was spending the night in a motel and swimming:sad: Dakota was 4, and used to seeing me in all black 'cause that was all i wore. Well! the only suit i could find had a bizillion all different colored flowers on. When i put it on i saw huge grossess. My FOUR year old took my hand and said "oh mama, you look bootiful!!!!!!!!" because of the colors and flowers i guess!!!!!!! Ah through the eyes of a child. I love that memory! And today he and i will go together and pick up a ring for his lovely fiance to be!!!!!!

Jeffrey - what's Blue Chip? OMG - i can't imagine jumping for 30 seconds! No WONDER your poor knees hurt! I'm pretty sure that would kill my knees and feet! In hot yoga we don't hold anything for 3 or 4 minutes. We do 2 sets of everything but probably for no more than a minute, and some things even less. I bet you'll be real good at it when you do try it. I agree - i LOVE yoga. My mom lived to 85 and always told me to do yoga! I think it's the BEST workout i've ever done. Going again tonight! I'm trying to go at least 3 times a week.

Have a good day everyone! ttyl!

Hi Marie! Have as good a day as possible!

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say that I've had a good day! Did not feel dizzy last night and when I got up, so I tried exercising on the treadmill and did 30 min.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: WooHoo!!! Taking it slow, but it just feels so good to be exercising again!!:flowerforyou:
Have a great day!

Good evening everyone! The bathing suit has been bought. I was going to buy two but am still thinking about the 2nd one. I do have one already so I feel like that will be enough. When my sister goes to the all-inclusives she takes about 4 suits but to be honest I don't think I am comfortable enough to spend every day in one. We did shop like maniacs though. If I was alone I would have stopped by noon but she pushed me on and I ended up buying many other things (all needed of course). I tend not to buy myself a lot so my wardrobe really needed this little boost. I am going to try to find a pair of shorts but other than that I am ready to pack! I bought Neil a couple of bathing suits that I think he will be happy with and he also could use some new shorts. I had bought myself a new winter jacket just before Christmas and the seam opened up on the side. I was in the store where I bought it and showed it to the clerk. She said that shouldn't have happened and they will replace it. I had my bill with me so I got my money back and bought a spring jacket with the money. But I do still need a winter jacket so I will check the sales. My feet are sore and I hope that means I used a lot of calories.

Marie -- You have been drifting in to my thoughts all day. I hope the day has gone ok.

Jeffrey -- I checked out the cruise critics and spent way to much time there last night so got to bed later than I planned. You will note I am blaming you for this. A very good site and I do thank you for telling me about it. My knees hurt reading your posts. Your tenacity amazes me.

Elli -- What a wonderful memory you have of your son's words. Kids are so honest. The bathing suit shopping didn't do me in. Thankfully we found one at our first stop which eased the stress. My sister and I are much the same size but she has a much better attitude about it. She says she is what she is and is not going to worry about what she looks like in a bathing suit. I do think that I stressed more than it was worth and in the scheme of things it is not huge at all. How exciting to be a part of getting the engagement ring.

Sandy -- Sorry you didn't win but you likely will next week. Enjoy your busy day!

Take care everyone. Keep smiling. Gayla

Hi everyone!
