Hey Debora, how's your Iron doing? Every since you mentioned this, I decided to watch mine a little closer and I have been falling short on that as well. I guess it's time to get out my Blackstrap Molasses. I just wish that MFP would actually show more than just 5 nutrition's to track at a time.

Hi Jan, I'm one of the lurkers around here. So glad that found us. I totally relate to missing NM but this place will do for now. Got to go and get my lunchtime walk in. :)

It's okay Debora if you haven't changed your sodium settings, I only changed my down to 2100 now I'm going for 2000. Of course I do stay below that most days but there are those days that I get back up into 2400's and that is when my BP spikes. Isy, we don't have a TJ's near me, the closes one is just over 50 miles there…

Hey Debora, I found the one down fall to canned beets and that is the added salt. I went to Wal-Mart but they are out of beets and not sure when they will get some more. So I am going to have to try the Delmonte canned beets.

I look forward to seeing if they do food logs. I've already noticed some new faces on the member's list.

I know Marcie isn't it awesome. I'm already signed up and look forward to checking out the site when I have more time. :) <3

Yeah Sheryl, when I get to mowing I'll look at what time it is I started and then keep track of how long my breaks are then just subtract my breaks from the total time of when I stopped mowing and log that time.

WTG Debora!!!! I just know that you will make it to 2 pushups, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! :)

Debora, Wow!! that is high dollar for just one beet. As isy (isyvanek) said I get mine for around .99 cents to 1.69 for a bunch of beets (3). This last time I bought some they were supper small for 1.69 so I bought 2 bunches but the greens were great so I got an extra bonus for my salad plus I'm putting a little bit in my…

You ladies are doing awesome keep up walking, those steps sure do add up. :)

Awesome, thanks I've got it saved and will give it a try the next time the hubby is out of town. He doesn't like Beets.

Marcie, that's some good info about canned beets, I wasn't sure about the nutritional value. You mention roasting beets you must give details on how you do that - please!!!!! Debora, fresh asparagus is yummy. I have a patch of asparagus but they never come up at the same time, all I get is 1 or 2 at a time, and then when I…

Store bought or home canned? I'm not sure, I would read the label on the store bought beets just to make sure that there isn't any extra preservatives. As far as putting canned beets in a smoothie well, I just don't know if you would get the same benefits as you do from fresh. Mainly because some of the nutrients have been…

Hi Sheryl, good to see you. Isyvanek, I have to throw out the beet greens, they are so very wilted when I get the beets from WalMart, but I will keep that in mind when I see some nice fresh ones. I got to get back to work see you all later.

Mini Update - Since my last entry, I've eaten my beets and even blended raw beets in a morning smoothie, along with taking my Magnesium/Potassium and even started with Hawthorn Berries, Kril Oil (Omega 3) along with a 20 to 30 minute Cardio exercise. I have been monitoring my BP and it has come down and some days it looks…

Hi, Ladies, update, I had to go back and give some more blood. My red blood count was up slightly high, so he wanted to take another draw last Tuesday. The Dr's office called me today and my level was back down to normal. It's amazing with drinking more water will accomplish. But the Nurse did say that he would be taking…

Thanks for the ideals ladies. Marcie, I can't afford to pay that much, heck I can't even afford to pay anything. That was just one of things that I like about NM. It was free and had so very much to offer. Your right Debora, a few more higher calorie food might be just what I need. You all are awesome, and because of all…

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I am going to give it my best shot. :) Your right Debora more exercise = more calories to eat, but I'm having trouble eating them all and without all my nutritional facts in front of me to tell me if I'm in balance it is hard to figure out what I'm lacking. I still miss NM. :'(

I just found out that I was able to pre log a day a head of time. :) I wonder if you can do more days a head of time. Of course right now I don't need to do that but I will have to check it out. There is a down fall to food logging that I found so far and that there is no way to do a search through your recent foods,…

Hay Debora, if you need parts for your washing machine you can check out "RepairClinic.Com". I know your hubby has it working right now but for future repairs of just about anything, they have a lot of parts.

I know what you mean MuyGuapo. They have a tendency to slow things down. :\ That was one of the great things about NM "NO AD's!"

Hi all!!! I know I have been missing but I'm still popping in. The last couple of weeks have been super busy and my eating habits have gone down the tubes, gained 4 pounds in which I need to take off before I go to the doc's on the 22nd. Of course I highly doubt that will happen but I'll give it a try anyway. It's good to…

Oops thanks for clarifying that for me Sheryl. How did the doctor appointment go?

We all know that Easter will soon be upon us and here is something from our favorite Sponge. smcginniss - Long Island, NY April 23, 2014, 2:58 pm Deadly Easter Eggs I've been wracking my brains all week trying to figure out why the little round things that come out of a normal rabbit's butt don't taste anywhere nearly as…

Hi Mel, I've got 3 co-workers that have had some type of knee surgery. 1 had totally knee replacement, 1 received a cadaver knee replacement and the other had something to due with the cartilage but just not sure what it was. The co-worker that had the cartilage problem was done about a month ago and he came back to work…

Thanks for letting me know. I'll make my way over there soon. Hope your back is feeling much better today Sheryl.

Hi Metho!!! Hello to all my other peeps! I took some vaca days from work last week due to the hubby leaving out yesterday for a 6 to 8 week gig for work. Glad to see that you found us and look forward to seeing you more often. (((HUGS)))

Has anyone heard how Judy Elaine is doing? I don't follow facebook so if someone could let me know I'd appreciate it. Humm maybe I need to go check the PBS/WC to see if she's check'd in there.

Lunch Time!!!!! Fried up chicken last Saturday for dinner, now I'm having a cold chicken sandwich. Sitting here at work, was reading someone's question if there was a food that burned fat. I read many response and they were not being very nice in my opinion. I realizes that there is not just one type of food that will burn…

I saved this picture of SylivaAnn and her daugther a couple of years ago and have it hanging on my wall in front of my desk to remind me to Drink my water.
