    Hi Everyone, I went to the Doctors today, and had blood drawn for all my labs plus one for hormone levels. As for my falling in February, he thinks it was a sudden drop in my blood pressure from my quick movement, I was making. I weighed 185.8 at the Doctors dressed, and then weighed as soon as I got home. My scale weighs a pound higher. I will get back in the 170's, winter has not been good for me. I have been eating more sweets, which I normally don't do very much. I found a chocolate cookie dough candy that has me addicted, 24 calories an egg. I gave a bag to my daughter to get them out of here, I still have some on hand, though. I am done buying them.
    I weigh my meat after it is cooked, because of the shrinkage after cooking.
    I hope everyone is doing good. Janice

    Hello every. Just checking in. Got a little behind so I only read todays posts. Looks like everyones doing pretty well. Concrats Connie on the consistant weight loss. Well last week was awesome. I had an interview and was hired immediately after the interview for a teaching potion for next school year. I haven't lost any more weight yet but a friend challenge me to do the 10 day green smoothie detox so I started that today.

    Have any of you done the green smoothie detox?

    @Sunnyfarm..many congrats on your teaching position! What grade? No, I have not done the green smoothie detox. I did a liquid diet years ago, and it is not my favorite thing to do! Good luck!

    Hi, I got my bloodwork results back and everything good, other than total cholesterol. My triglycerides were down to 73 from 134 last year, so alot better and my good cholesterol is up to 89 from 72, and that is better. My bad cholesterol is 179 up alittle from 166. The total cholesterol is 283 up from 265. I dont understand how the other 2 are better and just one bad to raise the total. My sugar was 96, kidney and liver good, white cells, right in the middle, so good overall, pretty happy with the results. He didnt even mention cholesterol medicine this time, so glad of that. I have been worried since I fell and this makes me feel better. I go to the gynocologist the 26th, hopefully that goes good.

    I made stuffed peppers, we are going to have them for dinner. I got my furnace motor replaced today, its been acting up again.
    Marie-I really like the corn and black bean salsa from Walmart, I bet it is good on a potato. I love potatoes, too.
    Gotta run. Janice

    congrats Janice on the good lab readings. It will be 3 months before I get another one. But I check my blood sugar 3 times a day and my blood pressure once a day unless i feel bad just to be on the safe side. I have never seen any black bean salsa at Walmart. But it is so easy to make. and I can make it the way I like it. I will have to make some stuff peppers one of these days with rice and beans.That sounds good to me.Since rice and beans are a starch I could have it on this 10 day deal I am sticking too.. I am really surprise at these starches do not raise my blood sugar up.But really glad to know that..

    I am baking some sweet potatoes now for tomorrow breakfast. I tried it in the microwave this morning But I like it bake in my toaster oven a lot better.

    Have a great night. all.

    Hi gang. I'm doing good. Crazy but good. And sometimes crazy is good. Starting tomorrow I will have 2 boys staying here at the house. Music Fest is starting tomorrow. That is where all the high schools in southeast Alaska sent their music students to have a friendly competition between the bands and choirs. Kind of like a battle of the bands for high schoolers. It will last until Saturday night. The kids will have concerts and solos and workshops. Best way to skip 3 days of school.

    Esther

    Hopefully my posts will post. This app just updated the other day.

    Good Morning, Ladies!

    The scale is down another .2 and following Connie's lead, I will celebrate it.

    I walked last night while my son had soccer practice and wondered why several walkers on the path had on masks. I found out for myself this morning. My head is totally stuffed. I guess the invisible pollen is flowing through the air now.

    Not much else to report. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

    But how do we used them
    Janice Meat has never been a problem to me I have never been a big meat eater I do like all the processed meat. I guess because i don't have to cook them. have not cook Jerry any fried chicken since all the fast[ food open up I despise frying chicken. Yes so far the potato diet is working for me. I am holding my breath This is day 3 that I really became serious about it.

    Well I was down on the scale today lost 2 pounds this week so I will keep at it. I just hope it doesn't find me. Yes... I noticed the like and awesome buttons but haven't used them as yet. I can also see everyone's diraries again, I think they changed that too.

    Yesterday was lunch and shopping with a friend. We ate at an Indian restaurant and still on the fence
    about the food, it was buffet style. We did some shopping after that and it was a rainy day but still fun.

    Today was Yoga class and a visit to see my MIL who turned 90 today. I got her a cinnamon bun and
    coffee to enjoy and we will be taking her out to Red Lobster tonight to celebrate her birthday.

    Marie - Good luck with 10 plan hope you don't get too bored. Congrats on the continuing weight loss.

    Sunny- Congrats on the new position!

    Janice - Good stats are always a bonus, just keep doing what you are doing it seems to be working.

    Stephanie - My daughter has a recipe for a sugar free cookie with dates, pecans and cocoa and 90%
    dark chocolate, it did taste delicious.
