Way to go QT!!!

Thank you Ladies!

Karen, I think about that too.

It was my weigh in day. I lost 1 pound yay!!! :) My baby steps for the week are: 1) Eat breakfast and lunch concentrating on eating right, not just a rice cake and fruit on the fly. 2) Start cutting down on the rice cakes in the evening. 3) Be more mindful of my exercise, not just plow through it just to get it done.…

Way to go Karen!!! I am so happy for you! Your hard work is paying off <3

NE - I still can not see the weight I have lost. But my joints feel a little better and Mark tells me that I am not keeping him up snoring (though I always thought that he was just listening to himself snore lol ;) ).

NE - Most of us have various health issues, so we do what we can do. For me it is nice to be able to list what I can do and see my improvement :)

Cindy - What a handsome little boy! He is going to be a heartbreaker!

Woo Hoo!!! Congratulations barlovo!

Barlovo, the miso-tahini dressing sounds amazing, would you please post the recipe when you get a chance?

Thanks barlovo, we are really excited :)

Karen, I totally understand about switching over the kitchen. I used keep 6-9 months of staples and when I had to switch it was ugly. I don't keep as much now as the flours and pastas don't have the same shelf life. I am glad you came through the tests so well. Hopefully now they will be able to tell you what is going on.

That looks amazing Karan! I can't wait to try it.

You just rest and get to feeling better. Don't over do it or it will take longer to feel better.

I love the Wii. Boxing is fun, my favorite is the advanced step aerobics, it makes me feel graceful. For the strength training and yoga the girls and I named or trainer Rob. We have 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch rubber mats we use in the garage like these…

Yes, if I am on my knees I can hold them for 23 sec. My girls watch me to make sure I keep good form and keep my fanny down.

Welcome NE! It is good to have you here :) Cindy - You take care of yourself <3 Everyone else have a wonderful weekend!!! B)

Hey QT - The flu is going around here. Golden was home from school for 1 1/2 days with the crud. I hope your feeling better. Stay warm :)

Karen, My smaller plates are an oriental pattern, half bowl half plate. I got a couple of sets of pretty chopsticks and chopstick holders to go with them. I have a thing about the table looking good and food presentation. I am glad your oscopies went well yesterday. I am sure you are relieved to have it all over.

Cindy is going to loose her knickers :#

Cindy - You would think a teacher would know that teenagers need to be fed. What a neat experience though. Next year you can watch it on TV with your feet up and say yep, I've been there. I hope you get a little time to rest and recover. Karen - I hope your day goes well and you get some answers. Alice and those of you in…

Cindy - You have had the added special exercise of shoveling snow ;)

Barlovo - Thank you for the information. We got a new set of smaller dishes and it has made a difference. Eating with chopsticks has also helped me. We have been eating our salad with our supper, I like the idea of eating in courses. I am going to try the unsalted nuts, evenings are hard for me.
