    hi team ~

    well, my polyp came back positive for a tubular adenoma (precancerous). SO, i have to have another scope in 3 yrs. i am kinda ok with it, but well, it is another health issue. all the more reasons to take care of me every day. i am worth it, so i must believe in that and keep the positive attitude. will continue eating clean, less and less processed while keepin my fiber at 30+/day AND exercise. this is how it's got to be folks. she told me it likely formed in the last 2-3 yrs and in 10 yrs would have been mature with symptoms. even tho the prep was horrible, the scope a breeze, i am glad i had it done and feeling a lil blessed right now. no one knows cept you, peppers. dh is workin late, so will fill him in when he gets home. guess it's high time to start pitchin the crap and makin the change for us all! only got one body, so i best take care of it!

    sindy ~ glad your walk was pain free and you are doin so well with it! happy for ya! :flowerforyou:
    V ~ thanks for the bean info.....i have only done 1 lb of beans, rinsed, soaked, cooked, and even tho it is a process, i am willing to make a batch every week. it still amazes me how filling they are and you can't beat the nutritional values! i am in love with my beans...and my peppers! :blushing: glad to hear lil one is better and on her way! take care sweets!:heart:

    jacque ~ you inspire me dear! :heart:

    will try to check in later peppers! make it a great day! :smile:

    Kelly - let's be thankful you found the polyp today instead of 10 years from now when you would be having large scale medical problems.

    I have a loaner car from the dealer. A chevy malibu...not what I typically drive...but it's free so I'm not complaining.

    I did get the sports massage rescheduled. She found knots and tight muscles in my legs and lower back. This wasn't a peaceful relaxing massage but I knew that going in... this was one to work out my legs. The discomfort then was worth it -- no tight muscles now.... This massage therapist sees me running at the gym so she knew what I do - thus she knew what spots would be tight.

    Off to take my middle to her GS appt. And I'll be at curves.

    Hey Kel,
    Well thank goodness you know what going on and how to watch for it. Prevention is the most inportant thing. Hey if you get a chance look up KANGEN water. 2 web site are www.5WonderWater.com and www.FreedonFound.com . My Dad has been drinking this water and the difference in one year is amazing. The doctors at the VA were amazed in the difference of his colonoscopy.
    Wow sindy great job!!!:flowerforyou:
    Have a good workout balcott!!:flowerforyou:

    well ladies...sorry I am just now getting to you. Horrible weekend....lets just say...hubby and his 15 yr old son got into it....BAD and son has left. Right now, hes with his nana ( my husbands mom) and he is not ready to let him come home. He (stepson) said some horrible things and did some pretty bad things. But now my dh is all upset....has cried b/c he wants to have his son home (who wouldnt) but can just let him think he can do as he wishes. We have had major issues with him for quite so many years. Right now I am just trying tobe a confort to him and let things go where they need. On top of it, just really busy at work. But I did get in alot of exercise yesterday. Started working in on our garden for the fall/winter.....tilled it and picked up rocks and so forth and did it for over an hour and then just lots of walking and helping mom clean up around her house.
    Watched my team make a big win in college football...its was great!!!!
    So a great sports weekend.....
    Just trying to get through this day b/c we been slammed and I am ready to go home!
    making a yummy potato soup that has been requested so gotta hit the grocery store.....
    and will have to resist from wanting to eat alot as this soup ROCKS! :bigsmile:
    so I will eat a salad before hand and just watching to make sure I eat slowly!
    Well its nearly 5 and gotta close up. I hope you all have a much better day for those that arent having a good one....I did read posts and will go in tomorrow and respond to those that really caught my attention...(i cant go back right now)
    LOTS OF LOVE :heart: :heart: to my SHGP!!!!!!

    Here's my exercise for today

    Curves 30 minutes
    Treadmill 20 minutes.

    kitn621 -- seems like we're in a similiar boat. After my daughter attempted to run away from my ex on Saturday & Sunday wasnt too much better. My custody time began at 4:30pm. So ex is at my house dropping off the kdis. My daughter was upset w/my ex - angry at him and soon to be step mom #2. My daughter threw something at my ex in front of me and my hubby. We were fortunate the glass in the front door did not crack or shatter.

    All I can say is joint custody sucks......

    Hi Ladies,

    I'm so sorry for the troubles with the kids. Being a parent is definitely the hardest job there is, a challenge every day.

    For exercise yesterday I had 1 hour jog/walk and the same today.

    Yup, being a parent is the hardest position and most underpaid. Yet, at times, those darlings are just full of love.

    Updated profile.

    I decided it may be good for me to complete the profile. So if you're interested go check me out.
    There is one photo of me. The beautiful roses are photos I took on vacation (Germany August 2009).

    OH MY GOODNESS ... PMS + All You Can Eat Buffet = I`m so full I could burst. Seriously, it feels like my skin is too tight. I decided to give myself a night off since I`ve been so good since the beginning of June. I don`t feel guilty, but I sure do feel uncomfortable ... it hurts ... lesson learned. I just can`t eat like I use to. I did get my fruits and veggies in ... and then some.

    I agree it's not a good combination PMS & all you can eat buffet. I'm been craving sweet -- lucky me there is nothing like that in the house. I would even be happy w/a diet pepsi right now.... none of that in the house either.

    Right now, I'm not doing well with fruits or water. I did have over 4.5lbs of seedless grapes in the house. Today, my kids were off from school. And I left them home alone for various periods throughout the day. Guess what, there are no more grapes.

    I'll deal with fruit cups and applesauce until I get to the grocery store again.

    Good Morning all!!!
    Ok so I got my water in no problem, 2 apples yesterday, but only 15 min of walking still sore from trying not to fall Sunday. Did great eating wise untill dinner and then ate too much. So got to work on that.
    Well so this morning I am reading the thread, OMG being a parent is a %$*& now a day. I sure sont know what I did wrong but My 2 kids I love them but there are days. My kids won't even go with the ex they hate him and the new wife, I never get a break, plus they are both teenagers and I am menopausal so yeah the hormones are flowing in this house!!:laugh: Got to laugh or I cry:sad: But my biggiest issue is school, how to make them understand how impotant it is. I have very strong work ethic, I go to work when I feel bad, sometimes work 2 jobs and going to school on line. So where do they get the idea its ok not to go just because they are tired or have an ache. And they are not afraid of me and they are both taller than me What to do?
    They are both smart but they just don't want to apply themselves AGh11 whats a mom to do?
    Well on the positive side I got off the bus a stop early so I had a nice little walk into the office

    mornin team!

    got my list made, so will be here doing chores again.

    barb ~ oh, them knots. i have so many in my upper back around my shoulder blades...what causes them?? i have not had a stress release massage for over 2 yrs now....sometimes it helps when dh rubs them, but sometimes they are too painful. my sis has a Malibu, nice car.

    jacque ~ thanks for the website info, gonna check it out. way to go on the bus walk! i hear ya on the teen tortures...i have 2 sons, both taller than me. neither of them respect me too well, thanks to dh in his non-sober years....i am concerned for their futures, and i still do too much for them, but i have the best relationships with them...hopefully someday they will mature into caring men, but mostly happy and responsible men.

    kitn ~ sorry for all your stress dear. teens can be so unpredictable. hang in there, i am sure things will work out soon. i will be starting my yard work soon. our biggest job is the leaves. thankful that we now have gutter covers. YUM, stew and soup season!

    jenn ~ you're doing great with walk/jog! gonna do mine soon!

    megan ~ i like walking with Leslie too! good workout!

    magglett ~ it's ok, one meal isn't going to ruin your loss thus far. just push the fluids and get back on track! you are doing a fine job!

    V ~ love hearin' bout your busy days! you go girl!

    karen ~ cool, how did the cupcakes turn out? i treat my bus kids to them once in a while. a healthier version would be better!

    have a great day peppers, make it count! :flowerforyou:

    P.S.
    Someone droped off their aunt at my house this week. Her name is Flow. She is rude, mean, and constantly wants me to eat crap food!
    Please if this is your Aunt come and claim her.
    Aunt Flow is not welcome here:grumble:

    Miss V - keep Aunt Flow. I have a trip next week and she's supposed to make an appearance during the trip. Yuck... and for me, she's deciding to visit very 25 days. Plus have one daughter who is now experiencing monthly visits... why, why me...... Well, you'll know what I mean when your daughters are older.

    My exercise today -- 40 minutes walk

    Not good w/water today. Fruit cups & applesauce is my fruit.

    We have made the diet soda cupcakes in my house -- 1 can of diet soda & 1 box of cake mix.
    Combine cake mix & soda. Bake according to cupcake directions on cake box.

    Typically yellow or white cake mix is a good base. We have made with chocolate mix, strawberry mix. and spice cake. Here's some of the diet sodas we have used: diet cola, diet ginger ale, diet orange, diet grapefruit, diet 7-up/sprite, diet fudge, and diet rootbeer. Basically if we found it in a diet verison, we made cupcakes. One of my friends will top the cup cakes with fat free sugar free whipped topping.

    I gave the recipe to my Girl Scouts to make as part of a badge work. The Moms all thought I was nuts until they tried the cupcakes.

    My van isn't doing well. However, hubby wants to get 2nd opinion on the repairs. I certainly don't want a car payment.

    Well, I need to relax this whole car thing has stressed me out..........

    Thanks. I needed that laugh. I'm cranky, irritable & moody right now. PMS.
    Craving sweet & diet pepsi. Did have the diet pepsi today. Choose that over a chocolate fix from the vending machine. Diet pepsi - no calories to work off.

    Sorry that aunt flow is making her rounds, :flowerforyou: not here yet but soon :laugh:
    Feeling a little stressed today, I realized when I logged my food today for super last night I did not eat all my calories had 290 left, I never go under. Hope it doesnt change the loosing, I did go over a little for a couple of days but not bad like 40 or 50 calories???

    Yesterday I did great::bigsmile:
    Fruit: strawberries and banana (never got to the orange)
    Water: over flowed at 9 glasses
    Exercise: walked for 40 min

    Hopefully I will be able to know early what we are having for dinner so I dont go under again.

    Have a great day, hopefully it wont be too busy to log back on.

    eat your fruit, water and exercise(we are blowing our goal away) :drinker:
