Well, back from the doctor. Double ear infection, sinus infection and pneumonia. Finally have some strong antibiotics. The Norwegians don't like to give antibiotics because they think your body needs to learn to fight things off itself. :ohwell: Off to get groceries and then back in bed.

Well, I'm still alive today. Hooray! And after a whole week on the Fast Metabolism Diet I am down 5 lbs. Which is SO surprising considering how much food I'm eating! Totally not following "traditional" thoughts on what to eat yet filling myself with ONLY healthy foods. Check out my food diary if you like. Days one and two…

Actually, we brought her over on a Transatlantic cruise so we didn't have to deal with that at the time. Hubby will be taking her back on Saturday so he'll have to be the one to sit right next to her on the way home.

Good morning everyone. I think I'll be spending most of today back in bed. Whatever is wrong with me is kicking my butt. I tried to get a doctor appointment but nothing available until 9 tomorrow morning. :sick: Talk to you tomorrow. Joy

We've brought up the Depends several times but she just refuses. Says she is NOT wearing a diaper. And the ONLY time she got dressed in the last 10 days was when we went out on Saturday. She has worn the same gown all that time. Even when she wets through it, she won't change it. She tells us to leave her alone. And then…

I've had several people mention that maybe my MIL is suffering from dementia. I guess I don't really "know" what dementia looks like. For example, last night she was sitting in the recliner, leaning forward with an intent look on her face. My hubby asked her what she was doing and she said "I'm going to the bathroom". So…

Road trip today. At least it's not an all weekend one. Leaving in a few minutes and home by dinner. I'll try to catch up then (if MIL hasn't driven me crazy). Down 1.5 lbs from yesterday so the scale is finally moving! Hooray!

rjadams - Happy Anniversary! How long have you been married? kathyszoo - thanks. I've been sick now for 14 days. Norwegian doctors are not much for antibiotics. They did say that I had an ear infection so gave me a 3 day Z Pac but that was up on Sunday and I'm still having troubles with my ears, coughing, low energy.…
-
Hooray! We've canceled the road trip. It's been pouring here all day and I looked at weather and it looks like it suppose to be nice here this weekend and pouring rain there all weekend. I talked MIL into staying here and hubby doing day trips with her and me staying home because I thinking I'm having a relapse with this…

Well, today I start Phase 2 of our new diet. The hardest for us. No carbs or fruits, only protein and veggies. Luckily it's only for 2 days so hopefully I can manage it! And we're taking a road trip this weekend. Hooray! 16 hours in the car with MIL. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: wilmasheridan - hello…

brookehe - First off, good luck with the interview! The cruise was just ok. My mom had a blast and was out there everyday with her friend .... had a hard time keeping up with them!! My mother in law drove me nuts. She diabetic and "forgot" to bring the things to test her sugar and then proceeded to eat dessert 3 times a…

Hello, hello! I"m back! I have no pictures of my son in Victoria's Secrets buying me "pretties" because we decided to have the contest keep going until the end of July. If it would have ended on March 30th as it should have, I would have SMOKED him. But I was gracious and agreed that since I still had weight to lose that…

Hubby just got up and weighed for the first time since we got back from Rome. I pack his lunches and since I didn't tell him at first that we were once again on a new diet, he didn't follow the diet as strictly as I did. BUT he lost 4.5 lbs this week! He was SHOCKED when he got on the scale. LOL
-
Yes we do. But the summers REALLY make up for it! :heart:
-
Good morning everyone! I am so excited today! It seems like I have been on diets all my adult life. I’ve tried them all. The last few years I have found that I have the best luck when I switch them up when I stop losing. For example, I’ll be on Weight Watchers and then after a few weeks, I’ll switch to South Beach, then…
-
Good morning from snowy Norway. I actually had a long post and my computer crashed and I lost it all. :grumble: When I have time I'll start all over again. Hubby said I should try to do scan disk or some such thing to make sure everything is ok. Joy
-
Hubby and I started watching Downton Abby last night. Thanks for the tip that they are on PBS. First one was "ok". I was glad that Bates got pulled out of the carriage at the last minute. We aren't "in love" with the show, but we've heard so many good things about it that we'll keep watching it for a while. I LOVE the fact…

Just thought I would share something I heard tonight: "We went skiing last week". "Was it cold?" "Oh no! Friday it was -4 and sunny. Saturday -7 and sunny and Sunday -10 with some wind. Monday we weren't there and it was -27! Glad we didn't stay." (I may have mixed up some of the words but I think the temps are right) ....…

Well, I'm really excited today!!! When I came home from Rome I was tired and sore. My whole body ached, I had walked over 120 miles, my blisters had blisters. I came home from Rome and had lost exactly 0 weight! Really?!?!?! That was on Sunday. On Tuesday the scale showed that I was down 2 lbs, which was only 2 of the 3…
-
Hi everyone! Back from Rome finally. I was so sad .... just before we left I had a 3 lb weight gain .... which seemed so odd because I was REALLY trying to do good. Logging every calorie, exercising. Then 13 days in Rome. I walked over 120 miles, ate a sensible breakfast, no snacking (well, 3 times we got gelato) and…

WOO HOO!!! Congrats!!!:love:

Good morning everyone! Today I have a Wii fitness class at the gym on base and then I have physical therapy. The PT is out in town and there is a fitness gym attached so I'm planning to get on the treadmill for a bit afterwords, depending on how much the first class hurts me. :bigsmile: I did see that cleaning counts as…
-
The person in charge of the class sends out emails every Monday to remind people. And at today's zumba class there was only me and the lady that is in charge of the weight loss class. It was her first time and she only went because I badgered her into it. This is what she posted online about it: "Loved the zumba - was…

Seriously, there should be something for cleaning. I used to sit at the computer everyday and now I'm up and cleaning, sorting, organizing ... I'm exhausted, my back hurts but it can't count as exercise? At least I'm moving now instead of being a slug. :bigsmile:

Good afternoon Amanda! Why is it guys are such babies when they get sick? :ohwell: I just noticed how much weight you've lost! O.M.Goodness!!! How long did that take you? You look amazing! Joy
-
Good morning everyone! Still working on closets here today but also laundry. I went to a weight loss meeting at the base yesterday, only one other person was there but we're hoping more people will join as the year goes. Zumba today at 3 so hoping to do a little better than last time. lizmil79 - I am enjoying seeing what…

Today is a cleaning day for me. Since the landlord will be in and out of the house while we are gone I've decided to really clean out my walk-in closets. They are full of clothes of all sizes that I've ever been so I'm cleaning them out. Anything that is too big is going to the Salvation Army (did you know they have these…

Since we are in Norway, we get some shows a day behind y'all. Some shows are months behind. But Biggest Loser in only a day. So, I'm sitting here watching Biggest Loser wishing I had a pizza. Is that bad??? :angry: Have made actual plans for exercising this week so we'll see how it goes. I'll do a Zumba class on Thursday…
-
Man, I'm SOOOO tired. Zumba class this morning and then a 4 mile walk in -6 weather ... too tired to even fix dinner. Good thing we still have left over chili in the frig. I think I'll just heat that up. On a bad note, our hot water heater is not working. COLD showers. The landlord came to look at it and decided they need…

I'm going to try my very first Zumba class today. I am so excited and went to the exercise part to see how many calories I could burn and Zumba was not there under cardio. Does anyone else do Zumba? How do you count the calories? Tusen Takk (a thousand thanks!) Joy
