    evening ladies~
    well gave the DH his fitbit~ said he wont use it send it back :explode: gee thanks , ya know every time I try and do something nice, it backfires..
    I got a text from Jen, the girl who is coming with her mom to see her nieces,now they ,might be looking to stay somewhere around our place overnight... which means we will have them 2 days.. I love them dearly,but this is putting alot of stress on me,because I have to have food, and only certain kinds for her and her kids...
    talked to my DB earlier, seems that Jean's brother, who is a jack a-- , is trying to weasel his way into control of his father's trust.. his mother is trustee, then Jean and her SIL.. Wally wants to take over... he comes barreling in ,demanding stuff and sends my brother over the edge, and by that I mean drinking:mad:
    I am at my wits end.. oh well tomorrow is another day.. im going to bed, and getting my tush up and to the gym again tomorrow.. see If I can keep the momentum up

    Lucy in DE, I had to jump back in when you mentioned Old Town Alexandria. I used to live there, and miss it! If you like art and have the time, check out the Torpedo Factory down by the waterfront. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time, barring bad weather!!

    Allison I have seen problems like yours in our Dear Amy, or whoever does the column now and her response is to very nicely give your guests a list for places that they can go to for lunch and meet up with you after. Good luck. I think I need to give you a cross stitched plaque that says No, in many fonts, sizes and colors that I want to make for a friend of mine that doesn't seem to have the ability to say no to people and she gets dumped on and it affects her health

    Pamela the reason I mentioned the gluten connection is I was having lunch with a fellow teacher who was on a gluten free diet because she had Hashimoto, too. She said her doctor told her there is something in the gluten that interacts with the thyroid not in a positive way. She was young. Only in her thirties. I know it is a pain to go gluten free and unfortunately if it is processed food they sometimes add more sugar to compensate for the lack of gluten. Not a good solution. Good luck to you as you find what works for you.

    Good evening ladies !

    It was a glorious day for me, I did my weekly weigh in and was down 2.2 lbs, that is fantastic and I know alot of it is being on MFP , logging my food, dri n king tons of water and the love and support of my friends I have made here. I for once in my weight loss and healthy lifestyle change feel that it all fits so perfectly !

    My sleep is under control, errrr ughhhhh for now. I appreciate the comments on it and will definitely try the lavender oil. I have
    gotten up in the past when I am experiencing insomnia, but when it is 1:00 in the morning and my alarm is set to go off at 3:45...well it is tough.

    Today I started my walking regime at Lake Tye, here in Monroe, 1.6 miles around it, the path is nice and flat and paved to boot, I made it in 45 minutes..my goal is 30 minutes...I do not claim to be a race walker...I will say I rather enjoyed it, out in the fresh air, people watching, in nature, the birds were flying in front of me, ducks were doing duck thing's. LOL....I came home amd had lots of energy. FUNNY how t b at works , tomorrow its weight training.

    I have yacked enough, good night my friends again thank you for your support !

    :flowerforyou: Patty, I have been teaching the beginning line dance class on and off for over a year…….every Friday morning when I leave the house to go to class my head says to me “Why are you doing this? It’s too much stress and you don’t really want to do it.” Then I get to class and have a fabulous time and love every minute including the ones where I get tongue tied or mess up the steps. Five people telling me they love the class and I’m doing a great job can be immediately overridden by one person saying she hates the new dance I taught……so I keep on keeping on and tell my silly head to “shut up:

    :sad: DeeDee, poor Noel—it must be so hard for her to have all that stuff going on in her house. We are boarding our dogs at the end of the month when our pre-school grandchildren are visiting because Sasha won’t be able to handle the stress of children in the house.

    :yawn: :yawn: Carol, my recipe for insomnia is reading…..I read for a few minutes in bed before shutting off the light and if I wake up and really can’t get back to sleep, I turn on the light and read some more…..I recently read a suggestion that if you can’t fall asleep to count backwards by three’s from 300 and I’ve tried that and it focuses my mind and I fall asleep.

    :flowerforyou: Pamela, I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and she now eats dairy free and gluten free and has seen improvement in her health.

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Bodi, congratulations on walking today….Brandy and Sasha are running in circles out of happiness for you.

    :explode: :grumble: Jake’s daughter rescheduled her visit to us for the fourth time…it’s a good thing she sent the new schedule by e mail so she couldn’t hear her father’s initial reaction….the changes come from her husband who is not a bad guy but pretty bossy and self centered. We have some plans already for the new days they’ll be here and we won’t be changing them since we’ve already changed plans for the several other days she said she’d be coming.

    We are over the moon with delight on the arrival of a precious little grandson. Born yesterday at 9 lbs. 5 days overdue, but when he decided that it was time, he made a fairly speedy entry.

    I'm only slighty mesmerized, of course.

    Did an hour of stepping on the AMT today. Tomorrow I'm planning to go to yoga and then to the deep water class.

    Welcome everyone new!

    After exercising went to another WalMart further away from my house. That is the only place where I can get the low fat brownie mix. Anyway, I stocked up. They have a much larger grocery section than we have. I found a few things I can't seem to get by me. Then came home and went in the pool. We're taking Lexi for her blood work and x-ray for the radioactive isotope treatment, then I want to stop at Lowe's Foods. They have Gatorade on sale at a REALLY good price for Lowes card members and I know we're going to go thru that. We'll take some up with us to Jessica's so I want to get some. Then we'll work outside, nothing real strenuous since tomorrow is bowling. Vince wants to put down another piece of the landscape fabric and this edging to help direct any rainwater towards the drain and away from the house. Update: Well, we didn't take Lexi to the vet. Right before we were going to leave, they called to say their x-ray machine was down. We called and they say it'll only be a few days so we're not going to put her on the pills. So I went up to Lowes' Foods anyway. If it wasn't such a good sale, it really wouldn't have been worth the gas to drive up there. It was too warm outside so Vince didn't put down the landscape fabric. I doubt we'll do it tomorrow. Not sure about Thursday.

    Joyce - a pizza place???????? Maybe they also have salads.

    Kim - yes, it was sad about my mom. It took me 30 years to understand why God did this (at least why i THINK He did it). Today I am much more independent. Sometimes I'm a bit too much of a person who wants to do everything, I have a hard time delegating (like letting a coworker help) because all my life I've had to do things for myself,. When I went away I had to remember to pack shampoo, and things like that. I never had someone saying "remember your shampoo and toothpaste". But today I'm able to just pick up and move to a different location. After school I'd go to a friend's house and when we got older and I moved away (about an hour), she said to me "why did you move to West Milford?" Then after her divorce and after her second marriage, guess where she built a house? Right in the same area as where I was living. Only by then I was ready to move to PA

    jscoachwife - I can imagine your embarrassment, but that brought you to us, which is a good thing. Come here often for lots of ideas and support

    Jacqueline - my FIL always used to say after he retired "I don't know where I found the time to work" And it's so true. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Pop in and let us know what's going on by you,

    Heather - good for you losing those pounds! Hope you feel better fast

    Alison - OUCH!!! Take care of yourself. Do you need to monitor your protein intake? I'm so sorry dh didn't like his fitbit. Sometimes we say we don't like something, but then we find we really did (reminds me of my kids). Take care of yourself

    Cynthia - sounds like your appointment went better than well - really really good. Thanks for sharing with us. Good vibes being sent your way for the stress test

    DeeDee - would you believe yesterday we didn't have a drop of rain??? I remember when they were installing the pool, the workers many times had to leave our job to take care of a problem weather related in Charlotte. I guess it's because we're so close to the mountains, things break up. We'll be going to Jessica's next weekend. We have a hotel reservation for Thurs, Fri, Sat. and Sun. What I'm REALLY looking forward to is being able to go to the Y in Reston. The last time I was there I saw that they had one of those stair-stepper machines. One like our Y had but it broke and they don't want to spend the $$$ to get a new one. I'm SOOOO looking forward to that. And on top of it all, she said that she has some guest passes. Noel BIT a painter??? What's up with that, I wonder? Sad as it may be, while they're there she just may have to be in the bedroom.

    tere - what a great NSV, hope you find a good bathingsuit.

    Adaniel - I'm in Newton

    Lucy in DE - I always look for the lower sodium versions of foods. Sometimes I can't get over how much sodium is in foods. Did you know that one time I was looking for applesauce and thought I'd give the WalMart brand a try. That was...until I looked at the ingredients. They add salt! A friend of mine needed to lower her sodium intake and she was told that diet ice tea has a good amount. I don't know that since I don't drink diet ice tea.

    Joyce - LOL "monthly"

    Kim - fleas are no fun. I remember when we had an Old English Sheepdog. Vince refused to get him shaven, I had flea bites all over.

    Robin - yea for Bodi (and you)

    Patty - remember I told you that I did one segment of that Tummy Toner DVD yesterday? Well, today I can feel my sides, not real bad, but I know that I've worked them. What I like was that it wasn't the same old crunches

    I never knew there was a connection between Hashimoto's and gluten!

    Renny - BIG congrats. He sure took his sweet old time. But then again, good things are worth waiting for

    Hi to all. Well NE made the national news and not for anything good; there was a rare “sister” or dual tornado yesterday about 85 miles north of here…that’s two tornados that are strong and both about the same size at the same time. Sometimes you see a big one with “babies” but that’s not the same. These were on the ground for over an hour and a little village named Pilger with about 300 people is completely gone. They had 2 deaths including a 5 year old girl and 19 critical injuries. That in itself is rare around here. These were EF-4 tornadoes on a scale of 0-5 (5 is the strongest) so the damage was tremendous.:sad: Makes me look around and count my blessings.

    Went to work today and didn’t get much done, but got some things started I can work on tomorrow. Did the weights and yoga today. DD#2 feels better today and went to work.

    Heather your lunch sounds magnificent!!! Good job on the weight loss!

    \Sylvia: I love Smart Balance margarine although butter has its advantages….it’s at least natural, but we use smart balance. My MIL had Alzheimers and she once said “You know what the best thing about Alzheimer’s is?” “No, what?” “I can hide my own Easter eggs!” And then she laughed uproariously! Your BP is worrying me!

    \Judy: you had a great workout

    Margaret: yes be safe!

    Yanniejannie: that is so odd to feel glad and bad at the same time about DD’s job situation, isn’t it? I hope she finds something good soon that she is suitable for!

    47Jacqueline: just post when you have time!

    Joyce: a lot of pizza places around here will make you a thin crust with veggies and little cheese; two normal sized pieces of that is only 48 carbs.

    Kim: hope you got some good rest! Good grief! What a week at your house. Last year I came home to find my storm door hanging by a thread of caulking! At first I thought someone tried to break in, but it just fell off!

    Cynthia: good news so far…hopefully the stress test will be good as well

    DeeDee: I hope your little baby has decided that people do NOT taste good! We used to have the huge brute of a dog who had fear aggression and we had to go to “naughty doggy school” for aggressive doggies for 2 years! :noway:

    Cindy: come up any time and my cats will keep you company as you lounge. The beagle doesn’t bark so he’s quiet too. Now if only we could get DD#2 to stop screaming! I hate to say “Use your indoor voice” to a 17 year old, but I do! :bigsmile:

    Suzy: let us know what the dr says

    Adanie: keep up the good work

    Lucy: come back anytime because we love hearing from you even if it’s not daily. I too have thinning hair, and insomnia so let me know what I should do!

    DrKatie: great nsv!!!

    Alison: once when I was in your situation with the food and all the people, I wrote up menus that had something for everyone (maybe just one dish each meal)and told people to bring their own food if the meals didn’t work for them. You simply can’t please everyone’s requests without being a restaurant!

    Carol: it sounds like you had a grand day!

    Bodi: SO GLAD you are doing better. I have been worried about you! Tell mamma to keep us up to day more often because I think the worst otherwise….Love Benny Beagle:heart:

    Renny what a darling baby! I bet you are so proud!

    Well I have been lurking here for an hour, so I’m off to get some stuff done! Have a good evening every one and remember YOU ARE ENOUGH!
    Take care, Meg from quiet Omaha for now :drinker:

    To anyone of the Vitamin F’s along the path of the tornadoes, I hope you are all safe and sound; it whipped past here, but without damage.

    GO BODI! Hooray! At last!

    Margaret turk - thanks for sharing the gluten connection- I have grain allergies, and all the connections help me make sense of how to improve my food.

    Dee – welcome to the group and welcome back, I am just recently back myself. Feels good.

    Grandmaille – I hope you take deep breaths; don’t let them take your hardwon calm.

    CityJane – they say going off your plan once a week helps your metabolism reset….that is what I would call it!

    Momsamodel – 3 things in the same week? Well, they say bad things come in threes.

    Wisa- welcome to this group!

    Gloria – you are leaving the 102 degree weather in Detroit for the 103 degree weather of Florida? I am hoping my pool is finally warm!

    Drkatie- Nice NSV! What is squash casserole with greek yogurt?

    Molly – I know exactly what my standard poodle wants when he looks me In the eye…he does not even have to bark or scratch to make his food/ FRESH COLD water/ OUT now desires known. I can read him like a book! And he is a smart and truly loving dog. Good luck with the new meds!

    Jmkmomm – yeah, it is so hard to eat at places other people select, you did very well. Could have succumbed!

    LucyT4 – welcome too, and I am jealous of your Washington weekend and your hydranga’s. The killing snow and frost and cold weather killed all the buds and branches…so back to square one. All cut and waiting for next year.

    Adaniel – your workout schedule is amazing and inspiring…woot back!

    To everyone else new - welcome and join in!

    To all the wonderful regulars who help encourage us all along on a daily basis, many thanks!

    A last check in before I go off to read a bit.... had a big salad for dinner, it is kinda fun to list all these ingredients in your diary and still have the calories be under 200.... Well my book is calling me...

    Heather – you did good, and tomorrow you’ll be back exercising and watching what you eat… :smile:

    Alison – I am so sorry DH (not so D today) did not appreciate your gift…:cry:

    Dee Ramage – welcome

    Carol in Monroe – congrats on releasing that weight! :bigsmile:

    Bodi – How exciting – someone asked about you the other day, I am so glad to hear you are up on all 4’s! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Renny – congrats!

    Michele – was that Milford, CT????

    Meg – I thought of you when I heard about the tornados – seems so scary, I have never seen or been in/near a tornado or hurricane…. Yuck!

    Meg I was thinking about you last night when I saw those awful tornadoes. Glad you are OK. It helps us put a different perspective on life.

    Congratulations Renny, that little one is so precious.

    Yeah Bodi, like a baby taking his first steps!

    Yes, Michelle, a pizza place but I had a nice salad and then came home and supplemented it with my usual carrots and apple since I don't like the peppers of any kind. I had mushrooms, lettuce, spinach ( not of fan of), onion and two kinds of tomatoes. So no protein for lunch. My hand is sticking out for all of you to slap it.

    Wtg Bodi! A little better everyday. Hang in there Robin.

    Tornadoes, how scary. I remember hunkering down in the cellar when we lived in Ontario. Where I live now, we have earthquakes. Yesterday, in fact. Nothing serious. Frankly, I think the earth moved because it was so happy to welcome my grandson. Hahaha.

    I'm checking how things are with my mom tomorrow. I need to get some sleep now. This stress is playing a number on me. My back is in knots, headache and nausea. I know some of it may be lingering flu symptoms, but stress is likely playing a part as well. At least it's keeping me away from having my glass of wine at dinner. I was sent home from work today. Go home Renny, you need to sleep. Very nice of them of course, although sleep was not to be had, But at least I rested(watching daytime tv: dr. Phil, dr. Oz, judge judy) oh my. I'd rather be at work.

    Good night

    Good morning everyone!

    Sylvia: sure hope you will feel better soon. I’m so sorry it seems impossible to see the cardiologist; it shouldn’t be that way. Does your GP have a “substitute” when he/she is away? Maybe that person can help.
    Sptwomen: welcome! As others have said, you can find the topic by going to “Community”, and then “My topics.”
    Alison: glad you enjoyed your gym time! So sorry your husband didn’t want the Fitbit. It’s not your fault. :flowerforyou: If your visitors require special food it’s only reasonable that they help with that and not expect you do just accommodate them. Good advice from Joyce.:drinker:
    Suzy: good luck with your physical.
    Lucy: I’m interested in the solution you found for Milo in the yard. Maybe you can post a picture. I can’t remember whether you have a fenced-in yard and he jumped the fence, or did he just get loose? Sorry.
    Gloria: hope you have a great time!
    Kim: you might have to “bomb” the house, if the powder doesn’t work. Or Levi has a different problem. Sorry about all your “technical” problems.
    Yay Bodi! :drinker:
    Renny: Congrats!
    Meg: glad you’re OK.

    Losing parents: my mom’s 83 and still plugging along in her own house. I hope it can stay that way. I normally see her once a year since I live far away, and every time I wonder whether it will be the last time. Terrible feeling. We’ve sure had our moments, but our relationship is good now and I don’t want her to be gone. :heart:

    Everyone, thanks for the rug tips. I’m going to investigate them.
    Also many thanks for the good wishes re the cardiologist appointments! It's still a bit scary, since I can feel the rhythm problems, but hopefully the stress test will go well.

    Hope everyone has a good day!
    Cynthia :flowerforyou:

    Was going to use my new HRM for cardio kickboxing last night, but after I wet the band, I realized I left the sensor on my sink ledge. Today I'm going to a Zumba class that my ZJ taught last Sunday on Salsa. She's going to do the two routines we choreographed and invited us to join the class with her. I couldn't find the music for one so I've only practiced the first.

    Michele in NC - hope you enjoy your low cal brownies :smile: Yoga and deep water exercising sound like a good combination.

    meg from Omaha - I hope the tornadoes aren't landing near you.

    Good morning my friends!

    Renny - ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Gorgeous!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Kim - I agree with BJ - everything breaks in threes!:laugh: Amazing how often that happens.

    Joyce - well done on the salad. :flowerforyou:

    Cynthia - best wishes fof the stress test.:flowerforyou:

    Now I am sober I recalculated my cals for the dinner and I reckon it was 1100. I fell more or less right on my TDEE for the day so I am quite happy with that. Burnt off 547 cals this morning despite feeling a bit queasy.:laugh: :wink: I put in one of my new knee exrcises that the physio gave me. I could certainly feel the muscles working! He did say that I would probably never be able to dance or run.:cry: Dancing used to be my favourite form of exercise, but I can do lots of other things. Thank goodness for our machines. He did say cycling was one of the best things for the knee.

    I'm going to make another effort today to buy a top to go with my new skirt. I also want to make a small batch of lemon shortbread biscuits to go with the rhubarb dessert on Friday. I won't be eating any, but they are delicious! I have lemon ice cream left over from yesterday. I made it in February! The good thing is that we have enough barbecued chicken and salads left over from last night that I won't have to cook tonight.:happy: Friday's starter, cauliflower cake, is in the freezer so all I have to do tomorrow is cook the goat curry. I will add the chopped sweetcorn on the day. I will serve it with a mixed green salad, a tomato and basil salad, a cucumber and yoghourt salad and rice of course.

    Our chard is looking good in the veg patch and the yellow zucchini plants have got out of the ground. I planted six and have got two, which is easily enough. Something is eating the kale, but enough is surviving to adulthood! Beans have been nibbled, but are putting out new shoots so I think we may yet get some beans. We will pick the last of the gooseberries today. I reckon we had 800 berries off one small bush! The blackcurrants are coming along and the plum tree is covered in green plums. The pears all disappeared, :grumble: , and we don't have many apples, but it is all very satisfying. It is the reason we don't go away on holiday in the summer any more, but it is so lovely here we don't mind.

    Love to you all. :heart: Heather in flowery and warm Hampshire UK

    Good morning beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:


    Meg:smile: The damage done by those tornados look horrendous :cry: ! So glad you were not in the path of them!!!

    Robin:smile: So glad Bodi is doing better:flowerforyou: !!!! I've been worried about him too!

    Renny:smile: Congrats, what a gorgeous little bundle of joy! How is DD doing? Hope you'll be able to get some sleep:yawn: !

    Thanks to those who shared the stories about their dogs biting, it's not a fun club to be in:noway: . Noel will just have to deal with being in the bedroom, I could put her in her crate, I'm sure she would prefer having the run of a room though.

    The painters are gone for a week:angry: , a corporate job was finally ready and they have to have it done in a week, so they leave me with only 3 rooms finished. I am not happy:noway: :explode: ! That means when they come back they will be here for 10 days at least......:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: . I'm wondering if the house will ever be done! The carpet goes in upstairs Mon. & Tues. and the furniture is being delivered on Thursday of next week, I'm looking forward to that:happy: ! I just hate having the house in disarray, it's starting to really bother me:frown: .

    Hope everyone will have a fabulous day! Drink your water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: and log your food!

    Wow, DeeDee, I certainly hear you on the heat
    we reached 94 yesterday!! DD went for a run on the beach and I sat and watched for dolphins; finallly rented an umbrella.........and yes, Michele, I did put plenty of sunscreen on the tops of my feet, and thought of you (of course, thanks again!!!) as I was doing it!!!

    I always made a point of saying "I love you" last when leaving my parents home, realizing it might be the last time I'd see them. For some reason it was important for me that this was the last thing I said to them should the unthinkable happen.

    Sylvia.........hope "something" works in your pursuit of the medical care you deserve...........very best of luck. Remember, the squeaky wheel and all that.

    Meg..........So glad the tornados missed you.........I remember going down the basement many times in Mi. and later driving around seeing the horrific damage several times in the 7 years I lived there.

    Drkatie............major congrats on that nsv..........be proud!!!

    Kim..........Oh, Kim, 3 in a row; how upsetting! Hope it all gets sorted.

    BJ............Very glad those tornados missed you!!!!

    Bodi................MAJOR YAYS!!!!! GOOD boy!!!! Pets and hugs to you.

    Renny...........WOW!!! Gorgeous baby; happy, happy grandmother!!! Congrats to all!

    Got 5hrs. of great sleep!!!! Much better than the night before!

    Welcome newbies; you have found the right place!

    Good morning lovely ladies,

    Renny precious. Congrats!:flowerforyou:

    Carol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BJ and Pam I learned it is the protein in wheat that causes the problem. Your body reacts with antibodies and unfortunately your thyroid has a similar makeup to this protein so the antibodies attack the thyroid. Barbie I didn’t know about dairy being a problem too.

    Got a call from tire place the machine is fixed, so I need to set up another appointment. Again I wish they would have just be upfront right away. I do not like complaining to see things done right. Communication is the key.

    Took my own advice and drank tart cherry juice before I went to bed. Slept well from 11-7.

    Raining today so hopefully I will get more of my spring cleaning done and out of the way.

    Today I will have tart cherry juice before bed, so I will have a good nights sleep and wake to a healthier tomorrow.

    Good morning! Just a quick note to say...

    Yea Bodi!!!! Good boy!

    Renny, congrats! I hope to see more baby pics in the future!

    Meg, I'm so glad you didn't blow away! I was worried.

    My BP is up a little this morning, at least until I take my meds, and my weight is down a little, so life is good.

    Have a great day!

    Sylvia
