Senior Golden Sneakers -May 2011

Donna that's brilliant news and you have done so well and can say you did it all yourself so a big, big hug. Sounds as if you are determined to continue the healthy lifestyle so I wouldn't worry too much about the sticky scales, it could just be water retention. I hope your walk around the neighbourhood is a pleasant one. Wherever we are there's always something interesting to see if we just raise our heads and open our eyes, so enjoy!!

HAPPY MOTHER DAY SNEAKERS

These are some CARE BEARs that I crocheted many many years ago and sold them at work.

here is a recipe I found in an old WW cookbook I try it the other day and like it much better than greek yogurt
Will post it in our Sneakers recipe.

Weight Watchers Recipe
Yogurt Cheese Greek Yogurt
This cheese is extraordinarily versatile, substituting for cream cheese and for sour cream; you'll find it used in several recipes.
Makes 4 Servings
3 cups plain nonfat yogurt - no gelatin in yogurt
Spoon the yogurt into a coffee filter or cheese-cloth line sieve; place over a bowl. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, several hours. Discard the liquid.
Per serving: 73 calories, 0 g total fat, 0 g Saturated fat, 2.5 mg Cholesterol, 86 mg Sodium, 8 g Total carbohydrate, 0 g Dietary Fiber, 9 g Protein, 249 mg Calcium. Points per serving 1 (not points plus)
Tip: the longer you drain the yogurt cheese, the thicker it will be - for sour cream consistency, drain 6-8 hours; for cream cheese consistency, drain about 24 hours. Have not figure out how much yet How much is!/4 of the recipe . I Better go to google. i did go to google but Didn't didn't tell me a thing?

draing all the whey out of Yogurt take most of the sodium out.

OK Ma - you may not want another one[:laugh: ] Hi to all you lovely ladies...I'll pop back later - too nice a day to be inside...luv ya all.

Children writing stories about the ocean.


1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6)

2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)

3) - If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't
have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Jimmy, age 7)

4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily
Richardson She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6)

5) - A dolphin breaths through an *kitten* on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8)

6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots
and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)

7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the
ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to
make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off
eating beans. (William, age 7)

8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and
I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant?
Like, really? (Helen, age 6)

9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is a always
crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mum, and my big sister has just got
pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6)

10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can
give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think
they have to plug themselves in to chargers.
(Christopher, age 7)

11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes
my willy small. (Kevin, age 6)

12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water.. Divers can't
go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. ( Becky, age 8)

13) - On vacation my Mum went water skiing. She fell off when she was
going very fast.. She says she won't do it again because water fired
right up her big fat *kitten*.. (Julie, age 7)

14) - The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown
I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)

15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean He knows all about the ocean.
What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my Mum.(James, age 7)

I did not take my water pill for I didn't want to be peeing all the time we were out I will get one early in the morning.

Judy, that was so cute, out of the mouths of babes!
Sandy, i enjoyed yours and Jakes as well!
Hope you have all had a good day. Knowing many of you well enough to know that you deserve this special day!

Maddie, this year may be a sad Mothers Day, but by next year, I hope this day will be filled with good memories for you and your family.
we miss you
Irene, we miss you too! Hope you are having a happy day.
gayla, you are wished the best of everything, today and always! So glad you are getting a new kitchen to enjoy!
buzz, isnt it funny that technology is becoming overwhelming to the point that we need help understanding our appliances! Lol, have fun!
I think it is author JD Robb, aka Nora Roberts, whose female futuristic character just enters what she wants and it shows up in her fridge. Now that is cool! Bet you still have to pay for it.
Peeeeuuuuuuw! We are behind a smelly cow truck, Im going to put my head under the covers until we get away from that smell!

Hooray everyone had a good Mothers Day. I did. Judy, loved the jokes.

Donna, congrats on a good 'report card'! You have worked for it and earned it. So many things make your weight loss stall, it'll move, just not fast enough to satisfy our desires!
buzz, you go girl! Another pound down, I think your low sodium is doing wonders for you.
I'm forever grateful to you for Trader Joes! The pnut butter, and the hi fiber cereal are winners for me, and I'll go back for more.
Barbie, you two look so happy in your profile pic, babies are cuties, are they best friends?
mRie, well, you know much more than I do about it, but my guess is your weight gain is all in your feet and ankles. When do you visit your doctor?
Barbs, we are still missing you
have a great week everyone!
