@its_cleo Pizza is always good! Enjoy the 3 day weekend. @trooworld The cottage cheese doesn’t too weird. I hope you enjoy it. I can understand not wanting to get in the pool if it’s too cold, especially if your entire body is not in the water. I hope you enjoy the pool or hot tub. Hi, all. It’s a bit cooler and windy…

@trooworld Yay to solid food and weight loss! Are you taking pictures of yourself? Hi, all. Today was a swim day and a trip to Sam’s Club. I bought flank steak to make ropa veija tomorrow. Since we’re having beef tomorrow we’re having pork with a Dijon mustard and maple syrup sauce.

@trooworld That’s great that you were able to eat the salmon and you have leftovers for another meal. @its_cleo That’s too bad about the tear. I know what you mean about over exercising causing. I, too, learned the hard way when many years ago I had to have a shoulder replacement. Hi, all. It was a little colder today so I…

@trooworld I hope you enjoy your meal. @its_cleo I hope you get good news when you see your doctor. Good job on the weight loss. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night. Tonight we’ll warm up leftovers. I saved the broth from the turkey will skim off the fat and save it for soup or a recipe. Today is a swim day.

@trooworld I don’t think anyone likes going to the dentist! I hope all was well. I’m glad you were able to work all day. Yes, the weather has improved so I was able to go for a walk. It was a little brisk but manageable. @its_cleo That’s good that your weight was down. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night and we have a…

@trooworld I’m glad that you are feeling better. It’s respectful to wear a mask. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t so everyone gets sick. I hope you enjoy your meals. @its_cleo I’m sure the salt caused the weight gain. Weigh in a few days and hopefully weight will be down. Hi, all. The weather is warmer here and…

@trooworld I’m sorry you are feeling bad. I hope start feeling better. You were wise to cut the bird watching to an hour. @theslightedgeforever Good job on the weight loss. I had to laugh when you said your DH wanted to know why you didn’t prepare those meals more often. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night and DH and I had…

@trooworld I hope the bird watching went well. Taking your cane is a good idea. I totally agree with the article you mentioned. Life is all about adapting. @its_cleo Goog job on tracking and not stopping when the going gets tough. It’s all about progress, not perfection. Hi, all. The weather is in the low forties and the…

@trooworld That’s good that you are making plans to do water exercises. Isn’t it great that you can burn so many calories without hurting your joints! Good idea to swap out books for more ( and different) books. I’m sure that you are looking forward to getting back to work and seeing your coworkers. Just don’t overdo…

@trooworld Good job on water aerobics even though you were distracted by the talking. I’m not a fan of outdoor pools but the water was warmer than the outdoor temperature so that makes it more comfortable. @its_cleo I had to look up “in the six”. I learned something new. Good luck with shopping. Do the stores have sales…

@fancyladyJeri That’s a big project with pictures! And yes, I am hibernating but I’m doing stuff inside. I’m retired so I don’t have to go anywhere. @trooworld When I was unable to exercise after surgery, I did seated exercises on YouTube. They don’t take up much space and I could get my heart rate up doing upper body…

@trooworld Decluttering is always a good idea. A nap and split pea soup, too. I need to declutter a turnstile cabinet. DH is good at that so he may help me. DS doesn’t like split pea or lentil soup so we don’t eat that. Sometimes my cousin makes split pea soup for us. @its_cleo Your job sounds interesting. Enjoy your night…

@trooworld Those reading groups sound like fun. It’s too cold here to think about ice cream! But you live in a warmer climate so you will enjoy the Creami concoctions. @its_cleo I’m glad you had a relaxing weekend. Weekends are for indulging! I also try to save calories if I have a big meal planned. What kind of work do…

@fancyladyJeri I missed your post when I replied. That’s hard when you take a medication that causes weight gain. I have a hard time, too, due to some health issues and being 73. I could not take the cold that you are experiencing but I guess you can get used to anything. That must be fun to have a reading group on…

@trooworld Getting to drink caffeinated coffee is great! I can’t live without it. The book group sounded like fun and it was nice for you to meet new people. That’s good that you’re looking up recipes for your Cremi. @theslightedgeforever That’s good that you are tracking and stretching. I read The Measure and liked it. I…

@trooworld That must be a good feeling for your clothes to fit better! Good idea to buy a Creami. @its_cleo I know you are glad to have the MRI done. Estimating calories is good. I do that sometimes when it’s not possible to be exact. @fancyladyJeri It’s good to be relaxed. I’m glad you are not as sore as you were…

@fancyladyJeri LOL about the samples. Remember BLTs? ( Bites, licks and tastes). Good job on the chicken sandwich and no ice cream.

@its_cleo I can understand that you would mention the MRI. I hope all goes well. Yes, I agree that balance is important. I try to eat healthy at least 80% of the time and have calories for treats. @trooworld That weight loss is fantastic! How are your clothes fitting? Cleaning up your desk is a good activity. Hi, all.…

@trooworld You’re doing so well in your recovery! @its_cleo A burger is not that bad. I agree that the crust is the best part but I would also leave it out. I know it’s frustrating dealing with health issues. @cbabie I agree that it’s important to stick to a program. I’m sorry you are so tired. Hi, all. DH and I went to…

@theslightedgeforever The cold weather does make it hard to exercise. As you know, I do indoor exercises. It’s been cold and windy here. @cbabie I hope you get back into a routine and do your knee exercises. You’ll feel better. @trooworld It’s good that you are staying home so you can exercise and rest. It takes a long…

@cbabie I know you and your DH were sad to see your grandson leave. It’s good that you are so close. I agree with @trooworld that it’s important not to deprive yourself. There are always snacks in my house and I usually have a few pieces of chocolate after dinner. @trooworld I know you feel reassured after seeing the…

@trooworld I’m glad you’re feeling better. The soups sound good. @its_cleo That’s good that you have an idea as to what the MRI will be like. Good job on meeting calorie goals. It’s a little warmer here but it’s still cold. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night. Today is a swim day. Dinner is a burger meal. I’ve been doing…

@trooworld Nice pictures! That looked like fun, the kind of thing I would like to do. I’m glad you enjoyed the comedy show. That makes sense that you would gain weight after being on a liquid diet. Good idea to ask your surgeon to recommend 2 weeks of work from home. Hi, all. The snow is mostly gone. I rode the bike today.…

@trooworld I’m glad you have a community for support. The wildlife outing sounds like fun. I hope you enjoy the comedy show. @its_cleo I love Chinese food. It’s okay to eat what you like. It sounds like you are working on your habits so all is good. @theslightedgeforever I haven’t started the book yet. I have so many books…

@trooworld Too bad about the weight gain. I can understand that it’s troubling. Obviously you have not overeaten. That might be a good question to ask the dietitian so you won’t worry about it. @its_cleo I think protein keeps us full and satisfied. I’m sure there are plant proteins. I’m a meat eater so that’s not a problem…

@trooworld Hopefully you will feel better as you take it easy. I wonder if you felt so good that you overdid things. @theslightedgeforever Yesterday I met my protein goal but today I probably won’t. I need 14 more grams and I’m not hungry enough to eat more. As I exercise I get more protein to eat which means I’ll have to…

@its_cleo Good job on the weight loss!

@trooworld I’m sorry you feel bad. Hopefully the dietitian will help you do what you need to feel better. @theslightedgeforever Good job on saying no to your daughter on eating. That’s good to start new goals. Hi, all. I have been sleeping fitfully for the last few days. I’ve been cold and had a hard time getting warm.…

@trooworld Good idea to limit your walks to one break. The first day back to work is always exhausting, especially when you’re recovering from surgery. @its_cleo It’s a good idea to do upper body when you have a hip injury. Are there any foods that you can limit or change to reduce calories? @theslightedgeforever Weddings…

@its_cleo I have tried food deliveries in the past and I found they were very high calorie and expensive. I believe I have seen Home Chef advertised with Skinnytaste recipes but I don’t know if they deliver to Canada. Personally I would prefer to plan my own meals. @trooworld Too bad about the scrambled eggs. The egg salad…
