BEX-sorry to hear you are feeling odd. I also think it sounds like low sugar. But have you even been told that you have a diabetes issue? How's your blood pressure? You are so young I can't recall what things typically pop-up. If it doesn't resolve, drag your self to doctor. SNOWFLAKE- How exciting that you have stuff…

Yes! I suspected zinc oxide ointment-Desitin! Gone grocery shopping to the fancy store here.

I will have to look up sudocrem. I LOVE genealogy but right now I am feeling bogged down. My mother-in-law will not divulge even her parents names. And they are Japanese so there's no getting around her. So the kid's tree only goes to her but I have lots on the Andrews who settled in Dale County, Alabama. And then, I have…

Tuesday! Got thru Monday all right but I am sleeping more than usual. For this day, hold line on calories with care for sodium. 1 if not 2 Y swim classes, and see if friend wants son to go to her Bible School. Also take pills. I have first 2 in but need 25 mins for the next many. I should use push mower but that is…

Great answers above that I can't top. I was going to say FRUIT-fresh and eat slow Also I like crunch so I eat wasa bread and you've enough calories to put something on it.

Monday! Went to 1 Y class today. Took pills and shot. Ate tuna salad and wasa bread-love the crunch. I have a lot to do but I will probably just go to bed and watch tv. Looks like a maybe rain--maybe sun day today. We had rain for about 15 days in a row a couple of weeks back--too bad we can't just send it to the…

cschmitz-I am wowed by you! Bex-thank you verra much.Can't say Sunday has gone to plan-was going to sleep in but then a rider called so we jumped up and got to church late. Didn't go to cemetery but did talk to husband in my head. Had trouble with dog so went to store for a chain and then went again as first end links…

I'm glad you posted! I had low thoughts about fasting but my doctor said... And so I try not to eat from 7 pm until 10 am. Iced water is okay anytime and my other doctor said ... so I try to drink a lot. It does seem to be working okay-not as hungry and eating to maximize the foods I am getting. I am not starving like I…

Noon on Saturday- held the line yesterday even eating out on everything but sodium. I have been to one y water class and then messed around with kid to get in 25 more minutes in pool today. I weed ate a tiny bit of street edge for an old lady and then I have sat. 4 cups of water in-I just have to have ice to drink any…

My Friday is about 1/2 over. I had chocolate milk with whipped topping last evening for dinner. But still the calories were not bad given my exercise. Justify, justify. Haven't eaten today-doc says do intermittent fasting? I am taking that to mean I do not have to eat breakfast daily. Have done 2 swim classes and showered.…

Thursday?! Had to ask at Y what day it was. 1. Exercise at water classes-did 2 classes. 2. Watch calories and especially sugar, carbs, sodium-eating tuna salad with wasa bread. 3. Take pills - did that. 4. Maybe buy some celery when I get gas for car-did this and put celery in salad. Weighed me at Y--I am not unhappy. And…

MYTIME- Oh such a beautiful quilt! Can't say I did great yesterday but...I am trying again today. Yesterday my thin beef stew said it was about 500 calories a bowl so calories were high. I had to drink water at bedtime because I did not have enough cups. Today so far, I went to 2 classes of water aerobics and made tuna…

Sneaking back in-this was the most helpful posting area from my 'before.' I am now 'actively uncontrolled diabetic.' Sigh. I will not be eating out for Thanksgiving this year-that's when everything went south last year. TODAY-I will stick the plan and add more vegs when I can. I will go to water aerobics. I did weed eat…

Welcome back. ME, Too ... the best thing I have found here is just good folks to offer support. Starting over again and I also hope it is not just a summer thing but then now is the time I have time.

Good practically noon. Checking in to see you and how you are doing. Take care.

I am trying to get back to here. Still feeling effects of infection/stone and guess it is just with me this next month or so. Way down on exercising and eating to support 3 people I guess! BEX a girl! I was going to say boy. My son wants a baby girl here and I have told him when he grows up, then he can have it (after he…

You've all been busy! But mostly I see you have been well. Wonderful.

Hello. My stomach is way out there. I can watch the calories but every other goal is out the window. I have crept around today and just hope to get home soon and go right to bed. Fed dogs and took them out. Need to pick up milk and diet ginger ale as well as batteries. Maybe some her flavor than fruit punch.

Lenora-you are right on the details. And less said is likely better. That is how it was with me-I did not forgive the comments. PINK HIGH HEELS, BARBIES! Sometimes I wander down that toy aisle. I am sick. I will hold okay on diet but exercise will be limited. Bah, humbug. Also scale at Y was 165--4 more #s on a 5#…

I am sick. I will hold okay on diet but exercise will be limited. Bah, humbug. Also scale at Y was 165--4 more #s on our challenge to go and 40 #s in full more. Despite this wonderful news, there is no dancing around in kitchen. I want/need something to drink but water is not doing it. This is a kidney thing with nausea,…

Thank you to everyone who recalled my birthday! And if you didn't , well, that's good, too. I will expound on 2 items. BETH I do not know much really about babies but, I used to walk the floor with one for hours when she went to a babysitter and I worked. Some things that seemed to work-I played soothing music and sang. I…

Thank you all for the birthday greetings and wishes! I was thinking no one in the world would remember. My boss called early and said people at work reminded her. I had pancakes with fruit for breakfast. 500 kcals worth. My wedding ring definitely fits today so that is one goal I achieved. I saw the picture of the…

BEX--you are too much like me! I adore your postings. JOAN--I feel rushed to death and overwhelmed most of the time-all of the time. I write stuff on the frig door, organize what we will eat all the day, and lose it if anything falls apart. BUT the grocery list and the daily plan like this thread keep me going forward. And…

Hello, all. Hug to Rye. Machka what lovely tulips. Well, ladies, I have thought I was too self-involved here. Writing too much about my life but I really haven't much of a life outside of my kitchen and son. I would like you to know I so enjoy reading of you and yours. It is on my worst days you make me feel okay. Recall…

Joan! Lovely.

Argh. Will tune in tomorrow.

cschmitz110515 I have my ring on today. And I had pumpkin pie custard for breakfast. 168 calories. We are on for the challenge together. And Happy Birthday to us a few days early. I found a lovely white iris blooming in the yard yesterday. It looks like it might have 2 more blooms. I am thinking of turning on the heating…

October it is. Always a reflective time for me. I will be 60. My father has been dead now for 16 years. My grandfather was born long ago on Columbus Day. I will wear socks and add blankets to the bed. We likely won't do anything for Halloween. Time to yank weeds and prepare the yard for winter. I am going to have a yearly…

I weighed at the Y today in preparation for tomorrow's challenge. 167 will be the beginning weight for the 5 pound challenge. I made my goal of in the 160s for the birthday. My son asked how many candles would be on my birthday cake. I told him 60. He said What? That's a lot. Well, I guess so. Planning to skip the cake and…

I have eaten calories to the limit these past few days-technically in but really up there. And the exercise today got shafted a bit. BUT I can not complain about most of it. Shelled out $1,000 for air conditioning repair. Won't think about it so there it is. Tomorrow, I will attempt to be back down on calories. Same old…
