@trooworld I’m sorry you were sick. The puppy bowl sounds interesting. I think I watched it several years ago when we didn’t watch the Super Bowl. @its_cleo Good job on portioning out snacks. Perhaps go on trips nearby or abroad that wouldn’t require a lot of walking? I can understand your frustration. Hi, all. Today was…

@trooworld I’m glad you enjoyed the park, the festival and your food. @theslightedgeforever That’s annoying when something goes BOINK. I’m glad you recovered. That happens to me occasionally. Good for you for only ordering one entree. Yeah, the weather plays a big part in our aches and pains. Hi, all. It was in the 50’s…

@trooworld I use Voltaren all the time and it helps. It mostly takes the edge off the pain. I but the generic product at Sam’s Club. I hope you get an appointment soon to get the shots. @its_cleo The pictures were really cool. 50 is young but I guess everything is relative. Good job on tracking. @theslightedgeforever Good…

@trooworld 2 pounds is great! I hope you get relief for your knee. @its_cleo Good job on calorie counting. I’m sorry about your hip pain. I guess the elliptical aggravated your pain. Night pain is the worst. I can understand that you are frustrated. @theslightedgeforever Sorry about your pain! Yes, I’m in pretty good…

@trooworld I love the prints! The Skinnytaste recipe sounds good. @cbabie Good job on tracking from yesterday and doing PT exercises. @theslightedgeforever Blood work and energy levels are good. I could have more energy but I do want I need to do. The tomato soup sounds good. Good job on the treadmill. Hi, all. It was…

@trooworld My falls were not related to weight and even when I thought I was overweight I really wasn’t. The first time I fell my left (bad) leg gave out and I fell getting in the bathtub. The second time I was rushing to get on the tram at the Denver airport and the door shut on my leg. The first time I broke my right…

@trooworld That’s too bad you got sick. I guess there’s a learning curve involved. Hopefully as you lose weight you won’t fall so much. After 2 falls that caused surgery. I have a fear about falling. In my house and outdoors I try to remove fall hazards. Hi, all. I walked outside for 45 minutes as it was in the 60’s.…

@trooworld I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. Don’t worry about your ego. @its_cleo The swans sounded lovely. It’s nice to be so close to nature. @cbabie Sorry you are surrounded by sickness. It’s good that you are tracking. @theslightedgeforever That was good to say no to tempting food, especially chocolate. I know what you…

@trooworld The hot tub and the coffee shop sound really relaxing. I’m always glad to get Sam’s Club shopping done. @its_cleo Good job on the calorie counting. Hi, all. It’s cold and dreary outside so I did workouts on my bike. I went grocery shopping after lunch. DS brought an online subscription to Milk Street so we have…

@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…
