Sarah, I'm so pleased it went well for you, AND you turned it into a positive for you and hubby too! It will be difficult for a month, but a month goes by so fast, doesn't it? Sending you positive health thoughts. Lois, sorry your back med isn't worth the side effects. Have fun at Disney this weekend :) And I'm so glad…

Sarah, I’m glad the simulation went well, and you navigated thru traffic smoothly. I’m looking forward to this being done for you. Glad you’re planning to keep moving. Good luck Monday.

LW: 132.6 TW: 131.8 I credit low appetite for the reduction, although I am feeling better. Probably at 90%. I've had low energy, and feel like I need to hydrate more and more efficiently. My trainer suggested coconut water for better absorption. It's not great tasting, but maybe I'm getting water, electrolytes, and a…

Omg, Sarah!! I’m stunned reading your post! So, I’m guessing your diet led to dehydration? And your electrolytes out of whack? I’m so glad your hubby was there, and called the paramedics. My gosh, we’re all getting hit, aren’t we? I’m still not all the way feeling better. I cancelled my whole day tomorrow so I can just…

Kelly, I’m sorry that you and Shawn went through a kidney stone experience! From what I understand, it’s one of the worst pains there is to have. . Good there aren’t others there. Thank goodness the paramedics gave him more than Tylenol!! And, your holidays were nice and relaxing, so I’m happy you had that before. It’s…

I had my trainer today, and though I'm still not feeling 100%, I am feeling better. Hubby thinks I just got so run down from Thanksgiving into New Years, and caught some bug or bugs while susceptible. I think he's probably right. I'm ramping up vitamins and a probiotic and water intake. Trainer was easy on me today, but I…

Last time: 134.0 Today: 133.2 15 years ago we started with the BodyBugg?! Yeah, that sounds about right for me also. My heart surgery was in 2009, and I hired my trainer in 2010. I'm so glad we all came together in our health and fitness quests. <3 I'm back and have a little tan :) Wow, we had such a fantastic time! I'm so…

LW: 134,0 TW: 134.2 Well okay. That's about what I thought. Have been getting daily exercise, but not paying attention to food or logging. That's what I have to do if I want reductions. It's just too much with everything else this time of year, lol. Kelly, it's great news that Ella's surgery is done. I hope she takes care…

Kelly, Happy Birthday to your daughter! And, I'm sending my good thoughts for her surgery. <3 Life is expensive, and I'm nervous that it might get more expensive soon. Sorry about Shawn's foot, and I hope you don't get a cold this Christmas. I was reading about getting sunlight, and how beneficial it is for the immune…

Some Thanksgiving photos. . It was cold!

Forget to take the turkey out in time to thaw? Don't panic. . Here's the instructions on how to make a delicious, juicy turkey from frozen! Ingredients: (1) 12-14 pound turkey, frozen solid Prepared stuffing (optional) Directions: 1 Preheat the oven to 325 F about 6 hours before you want to serve dinner. Line a rimmed…

Lois, I have a recipe how to cook a turkey from frozen . . . And it is delicious believe it or not! I’m going to do it that way again this year. Hubby and I both thought it was more juicy and tender. The only thing is you can’t put your stuffing inside the bird. But, I make the stuffing in a crock pot, and it’s really…

LW: 133.2 TW: 133.2 Well, I'm hanging in there, and at least not gaining. My gosh Sarah, I can imagine the stress of dealing with unreliable medical people. I had that issue with the calls back and forth for 2 weeks with the gastroenterologist office for biopsy results. Ugh. My imagination was going to worse case scenario,…

LW: 133.6 TW: 133.2 I'll take that. I've been helping out here and there because of a sick nanny for my daughter. She works from home, and her hubby CAN work from home, so we were able to schedule so that I could keep my trainer appointments and some other stuff. It's pretty tiring, especially with a long drive each way.…

LW: 134 TW: 133.6 Sorry I'm a day late posting this week. I'm just bouncing around within a range I can't escape. Sarah, good for you finally getting appointments set up! At times we have to be persistent and even insistent to get things done with the medical community. Great job maintaining your weight and keeping your…

LW: 133.8 TW: 134 The increase is likely because they pumped me full of fluid yesterday. The test showed no serious problems, but a little diverticulosis, which isn't an infection like diverticulitis. Doc said to eat more fiber for that. Hmm. I already eat a lot of salads and veggies (shrug). My stomach was irritated, and…

Lois, sounds like you're making healthy choices. Good for you. I'll hope for full healing on the toe so you can get out next week. . the weather is cooling down too. Good timing. We drove in the EV to Idaho to play golf at a course we like there, and to also check out the range on the EV. (It did well on one charge at the…

LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 Slow and steady is frustrating, but I'll take it. Sarah, the findings on your surgery sound scary, but are about as good as can be for a breast cancer. Stage zero, and it sounds like they got all the margins. I'm thinking that going forward, they'll recommend some treatment to make sure it's completely…

Glad to see all of your posts here. Sarah, you're doing extremely well with your recovery, movement, and patience . . looking forward to hearing the lab results. Kelly, how fun to go to your first NFL game!! I just went to my first on our visit to Cali. I'm sure you'll enjoy that! You're going to be so close . . makes me…

LW: 134.8 TW: 134.2 I'm glad for that weight. Yesterday was my yearly check-up, and my weight was up from last year. Doc says I'm fine and look good. He's a fun and funny guy. He always tells me "you're an athlete", just a little tongue in cheek, lol. His examination was good . . lungs clear, strong heart, etc. I'm…

Sarah, I'm so glad for you that the surgery is over, and you'll soon have complete answers coming. <3 I knew you'd do great through the surgery. I agree with Lois that you should not worry too much about getting back immediately. Just walk around the house and yard for a time. Let your body use all its energy to heal.…

LW: 135.8 TW: 134.8 Grateful for a reduction. Whew. . . I made it on while it's still Wednesday. My Wednesdays are crazy. But, I wanted to be sure to tell you, Sarah, good luck, and that I'm thinking of you ahead of your surgery tomorrow morning. I'm sending positive thoughts your way, and I feel confident that you'll come…

LW: 135.2 TW: 135.8 Yikes. I knew it though because I ate like crazy over the weekend. We just returned from a trip to Cali to see our son and his cute family. I don't remember if I mentioned it, but he got tickets to the 49ers game for our birthday gift this year. We flew down on Sept 26 and got back Monday night. Wow, it…

Sorry, a couple more :D

LW: 134.6 TW: 135.4 Well, I expected an increase because of last night's girlfriend's party for two September birthdays, and yes, that included wine AND cake. Also, Tuesday we went to the baseball game, and of course the food there and beer. My gosh, I sound like an alcoholic, lol. The baseball team here is beloved, even…

Kelly, Lordy, you are in that sandwich time of life. Caring for kids (teens at that), working, caring for elders. I can tell you, having been there, it's hard. I'm not gonna lie. My father died at home, and then my mother kind of gave up. She had a prescription for pain for a knee replacement, and started abusing them. We…

Oh Kelly . . So sorry you're going through a parenting crisis with your son. You're right. . teenagers are really hard. All parents go through it. I could tell you so many stories about my kids. . Sneaking out, going along with taking a car and knocking over trash receptacles put out at the curb with the car, underage…

Lois, great photo! It sure does look fun . . and your granddaughter is darling o:) I'm glad your PT person said you did well with your knee! I was concerned. There's a lot of walking at Disneyland! Your report on your blood tests is of concern. I wonder if your chef can make meals that are low in simple carbs and sugars?…

LW: 134.6 TW: 135.2 Dang it. I gained because of the holiday weekend. Baseball game, golf, and eating. I'm back on track as of yesterday. I had no trainer Monday because of the holiday, but I have her tomorrow. Managed to get some treadmill done, but that was it. It's tough to read about your tests Sarah, and that you'll…
