J4T Thursday 1. Be VERY careful about not eating too much salt 2. Stick to calorie limit 3. Go for a walk

This sort of thing has happened to me many times. The good news is that you can just walk away from their ugliness, but they have to live with themselves! Really, just how LOW does a person have to feel about themselves to lash out at an innocent stranger in that way. But, seriously, I know how incredibly horrible it…

Woo hoo! A really good day today! I found out last week that I have a potassium deficiency, directly related to my blood pressure medicine. I started eating tons of high potassium veggies 4 days ago and I feel WONDERFUL for the first time in Months! I kicked butt at ZUMBA today. The last time I went to Zumba, two weeks…

Thank you so very much for all the encouragement concerning my teenage daughter. Joan, I always think of you and the patience you have with your daughter, when things get difficult. My daughter is adopted and has been hiding14 years worth of anger about that situation inside herself. For the past couple of years she has…

I've lost crock pots over the years, too! Here's my theory: I think the HUSBAND is in a hurry to get home from the church social to watch football, so he grabs a crock pot and puts it in their car without his wife's guidance. Then when they get home she sees that he made a mistake, but also sees that THIS crock pot is the…

Today was my 3rd day in a row of pre-logging my meals. I always had trouble staying in control while I am cooking dinner and in the evening, but have found it VERY CALMING to know ahead of time what I will eat. I spent this morning in a very difficult therapy session with my daughter (difficult but hopefully…

I had a very bad day with my kids today (teenagers!), but still stayed focused and met my goals anyway. It was actually a comfort to know that my food decisions were already made and the emotional chaos swirling around me didn't affect that. J4T Thursday 1. Pre-log log my food 2. Try to go to zumba in the morning. If I…

Ahhh.....a working washing machine....it's the little things that make life wonderful.... One positive thing about having a broken washing machine is...you really learn to enjoy doing the laundry when you get a new one!

HA! That is SO Funny! I say SING! SING LOUD! STAND ON YOUR DESK AND SING! Maybe you'll get another raise! I sing all the time. Sometimes I have to appolgize to people in the waiting room BUT no one has ever walked out of my performance!

Had a good day yesterday. I actually did everything I set out to do! I did Zumba on Monday night and kicked butt. I didn't work out at all on Tuesday. Then I did Zumba on Wednesday morning and was disappointed because I was completely wiped out after the 2nd song! But I did it! But today, no Zumba! But, maybe I will take…

So many people here with colds. I'm so sorry and hope you will all feel better quickly! Gee, I hope nobody sneezed on their posts! Then we would all be sick! :wink: It's great to see lots of friends from the past AND lots of new friends! Have a great day on Wednesday!

Hey, have you been peeking at my life.....? :smiley: Don't give up! You can do it!

Hi Joan! Glad to see you are finally recovering from that cold! And glad to see your scale is moving in the right direction for you. You go girl!

I've really been struggling for a while. I lost 130 pounds in about 3 years but then I gained 60 pounds between July of 2016 and January of 2017. It has taken all this time to figure out the right combination of meds to get my thyroid numbers in balance. A new set of meds gave me horrible side effects, including heart…

Hey Sunny! Have you seen "flylady". It's a Web site that helps you get your house clean one little chore at a time. It is one of the first things I found on the Internet, 20 years ago, and it's still there! It's like MFP for your house. I still use some of thier tips after all this time and my house is almost always…
