@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…

@its_cleo The cold does bother me. It’s good that it doesn’t bother you. I’m glad you’re in a better mood today. It is a let down after the holidays. I hope you do okay with the MRI. You’ll probably be okay but I understand your trepidation. @trooworld That’s great that your mobility is improving. Losing weight is so good…

@trooworld Chair yoga is a good idea. I did chair exercises during Covid when I didn’t have a bike. I’m glad you are enjoying your food. @its_cleo Good job on meeting your calorie goal. Sorry you are in a funk. I can understand your apprehension with the MRI and what that will entail. We just got our tree put up. I’m glad…

@trooworld I’m glad you’re doing so well and are able to get back to work. That makes sense about the ground floor beef. Maybe later you can eat it I haven’t tried the butternut squash soup but lots of people on the Skinnytaste FB group have raved about it. Yes, I got on the bike yesterday. @cbabie I’m glad you are feeling…

@trooworld The 3 recipes sound good. I can imagine that you are tired of the protein drinks. @cbabie I hope you’re feeling better by the time you read this. @its_cleo Good job on sticking to your goals yesterday. Hi, all. I went grocery shopping after breakfast and ate lunch when I got home so I haven’t exercised yet. I’m…

@trooworld That mug looks professionally made! You are so talented. It’s good you called about being weak and that was good advice. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I didn’t stay up either last night. I prefer to go to sleep at the same time every night as I sleep better that way. @its_cleo Small steps are always good and…

@trooworld That’s a great way to organize your closet. The exercise app sounds like a good way to start your activity. @cbabie Isn’t it interesting that as we get older, time seems to go so fast! I hope the blood work will help to find a diagnosis for to help you feel better. @its_cleo Welcome to the group. You have a lot…

@trooworld It’s a good thing you figured out your underwear was too big or you might have had an embarrassing experience! Good news that you are losing weight and you can shop in your closet! @cbabie Yum to cheesecake! And it’ll be good to back into a routine. Hi, all. DH and I went swimming today. DH cleaned the oven so…

@trooworld It looks like you felt so good that you overdid it. You’re learning your limits and gradually you’ll be back to your pre surgery activity. @cbabie This is the time of year when we have celebrations. Hopefully all the goodies will be eaten up or given away. Hi, all. Salmon was good last night but when I cooked it…

@trooworld You’re doing great! That’s good that Sam’s wasn’t too bad. Hi, all. I’m back in healthy eating mode. I had 2 days of decadence and now it’s time to get back to normal. DH and I went swimming today. The HVAC has been fixed and the air temperature was good. The pool was 84 degrees, a bit cold getting started, but…

@trooworld I’m so glad that you’re doing so well. Walking around Sam’s is a lot! I hope you did okay. @cbabie I know what you mean about morning versus night. I like to do what I need to do in the morning even though sometimes I have to do stuff in the afternoon. At night I try to unload the dishwasher so I don’t have to…

@trooworld I’m glad you feel better and are able to get out. I’m assuming you’re driving. That’s fantastic that you have lost so much weight. @cbabie I’m glad you had a good Christmas. I remember those days when the kids had so many toys. It was good that your daughter cooked for you. Hi, all. Christmas was very nice. Good…

@cbabie I agree that Christmas came really fast. Do try to be mindful and don’t eat too much sweets. That’s hard as we don’t get stuff like that too often. @trooworld It’s good that you’re able to leave the house and your pain is lessening. I hope you enjoy the movie. Hi, all. Merry Christmas! I don’t have too much to do…

@trooworld I’m glad the pain is easing a bit. And that you can eat more. Hi, all. Happy Christmas Eve! Today I plan to ride my bike and maybe go for a walk even though it’s still cold. Actually it’s going to be cold for the next 3 months although occasionally we have some warmer weather. Tonight we go to our daughter’s…

@trooworld I think you are wise to not take pain pills unless you are in terrible pain. I’m glad you’re doing so well. @cbabie I’m sorry you are in such pain. Enjoy your time with baby girl while she’s out of school. Hi,all. Dinner last night at DD’s house was healthy. DS made America’s Test Kitchen oatmeal raisin cookies.…

@trooworld I did counted cross stitch many years ago. I don’t have the patience to do that or any needle work now. I’m glad you are recovering well. Sleeping is good for you. Hi, all. I went grocery shopping to get the rest of the stuff we need for Christmas. I rode my bike as it’s too cold to go outside. Last night was…

@theslightedgeforever The concert was fun! It reminded me of when my children were in school. I love pecan pie! Luckily I eat it once a year on Thanksgiving. Very high in calories. I agree with the advice you gave @cbabie.

@cbabie I hope going to see your doctor helped. Hi, all. All is well here. It’s cold outside so I rode my bike. Tonight we are going to my cousin’s house for dinner. Her daughter and grandsons are visiting from Rhode Island. We haven’t seen them in a quile so it’ll be fun. Food is always good at her house and I am going to…

@cbabie I’m sorry you are miserable. If the therapist thinks you need to step up your game, you must be progressing. Hi, all. I’m starting the thread as @trooworld is having her surgery. I’m thinking of her and hope all is well. It’s cold and damp here. I am going to call and see if the pool is open. If not I’ll do my…

@trooworld I agree that stress about your surgery may have caused the headache. You’re almost there! That was kind of your friend to give you the needlepoint of your pug. I used to do needlepoint but nothing that hard. Good job on the weight loss and sticking to the liquid diet. Hi, all. It’s cold again today. Normal…
