I wish you the best of luck with your Dental Implant. I know just how you feel with being anxious at the Dentist. I didn't go to the Dentist very much when I was growing up, only if I had to. Now I go regularly but I still get anxious sometimes. Great idea about tracking food ahead of time. Thanks!!

Yes, going to Doctors are very tiring. Both physically and mentally. We hate to see our loved ones in pain or not in the best of health. You are so right about it making you stop and think about taking better care of ourselves now and maybe avoid some of those Dr visits ourselves. I need to remember that when I don't want…

Not tracking, especially if you have company, is so easy to skip. I know I do that sometimes and think to myself, I am not eating that much, I did pretty good, then the nasty old scale shows different. Lol. Don't worry, you will get back on track and do awesome!

Hi, everyone!!! Things have started to settle down a bit with taking my parents back and forth to Doctors and Physical Therapy. Thank goodness!! My Dad's hand is finally healing from surgery and doesn't require anymore therapy and my Mom's ankle is slowly getting better from her fall. I thank God everyday for my parents. I…

Hello, everyone! I haven't posted in a while but have been trying to keep up with at least reading everyone's posts. Still busy with taking parents to Doctor's and Physical Therapy several times a week. We have been having some cold days with a few really pretty ones mixed in. It almost gives me spring fever. Lol.…

Good morning all!! @bugmom92.. Welcome back. I am sorry you have the flu. Get better really soon. I saw where you were going to plant some seeds in your garden. What kind of garden do you have? Is it a raised garden? @trooworld...I hope your Brother in law is much better. I know what you mean about Doctor appointments not…

Good morning Ladies!!! I just have a few minutes to post. I have to take my Dad to Physical Therapy for his hand in a little while. Thank God it is getting better. I have been trying to get things done around the house just in case the weatherman is right. Friday and Saturday there is a possibility of an ice storm in…

Good morning ladies! @cbabie..How are you doing? I hope you are feeling much better. @mysticlizard...Congratulations on checking in for the last 730 days. Great determination and you a doing awesome on your excercise. @nanpask...I know what you mean about WW. It seems like they change things up a lot and it does get…

@mysticlizard.. Great goals for the New Year. Don't worry we all make poor food choices sometimes, depending on the circumstances. @gemwolf110.. Congratulations on your new refrigerator, I know you will enjoy it. Sounds like you have been busy around the house. It is always makes you feel good. Awesome number of steps to…

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!!. I had a pretty good Christmas. My two children, along with all my grand-kids came over Christmas Evening and we exchanged gifts. One of the presents I got was an Air Fryer. I am anxious to give it a try. @cbabie...Happy…

@cbabie.. What kind of fast do you do? Do you just give up something voluntarily that you like? I know some churches do that. @trooworld... I am glad you found prime rib at a good price. I know it will be delicious. @mysticlizard... You are doing awesome on your exercise. You are motivating me to try and do better. Great…

Good Morning: @mysticlizard..The musical dominoes are like regular dominoes except instead of a number of dots on the dominoes, there are pictures of music notes and rests. You have to know the value of each one. For example: a quarter note is worth 1 point, a half note is 2 points, a dotted half note is 3 points and etc.…

Well, thank goodness I survived my little piano recital. Whew!! Glad that is over. Lol. We had fun though, it wasn't too bad. I played Away In A Manger. It is a pretty little song. Afterwards we played musical dominoes. I also got my fruitcake baked and it actually turned out decent. Not as good as my Mom's but not too…

Your Christmas tree looks awesome, @gemwolf110. Such a pretty shape it has. Sounds like everyone has been really busy. I would take a picture of my Christmas tree but I don't know how to attach it. Lol. I have been trying to exercise a little more and trying to be more mindful of what I eat. The Holidays are not the…

Good morning!! I can't believe it is already December and not long until Christmas. I have been busy taking my parents back and forth to Doctors and Physical Therapy, but I am so grateful to still have my parents. It keeps me busy. I think I have most of my Christmas shopping done and wrapped. One of my goals for December…

Good morning all!! Yesterday was so gorgeous outside, a little windy, but around 80 degrees. Today, it is 50 degrees and very windy. For this time of year that is still not bad. I went shopping a couple of days ago for our Thanksgiving Dinner. It doesn't seem like it should be that time of year yet, but it is. I have been…

@slightedge.. The Pork Chops and Veggies look very tasty. I loved the advice about "Do I want it most, or do I want it now." You stated you were going to make salad dressing, do you have some good recipes you would like to share? @gemwolf110.. Nice looking steps you all built and great on all your exercice and getting your…

Thank you, that sounds great to me!!!

Thank you so much for the Cauliflower Nacho recipe. I will definitely be making those!!

Thank you so much!!!!

I have been doing the LCHF eating for the past week and so far it is working. I don't quite have as much energy as I would like yet but I read when you first start eating that way, you would not. Any tips or pointers would be much appreciated. Good luck to you!!!

Slightedge.... The Cauliflower Nachos look awesome. I am trying to play catchup on reading all the posts. You may have already given the recipe for the Nachos, but would you mind telling me how you fix them?

Hi, everybody!! I haven't checked in for a while so I know I have missed a lot of good motivation and pointers. Even though I am retired, I have been staying so busy. I have both my parents still, thank God. I have been taking them back and forth to doctors. My Dad is having hand surgery on Halloween and my Mom may have to…

Would you mind sharing your recipe? They look yummy!

I got out and mowed this morning and was almost finished and it started to rain. It was really light so I just kept on mowing. Lol. It actually felt pretty good. I also vacuumed the carpet and am tidying up. I have company coming in from out of town tomorrow and they will be here for 9 days. We always have a good visit but…

Happy Wednesday!!! I did my 4 mile Walking DVD yesterday and it was really good exercise. Today I am going to my Niece's house and we are going to do another Walking DVD. My two sisters will be there. It is always more fun to exercise with people. It seems to make the time go by faster. Have a good day everyone!!!

Hello to all!! I hope this week is better than last week. My youngest grand-son shared his sore throat and cough with me. Gee, thanks! Not. I am starting to feel better but it seems like the cough hangs around forever. The only good thing about not feeling well is, for a couple of days I didn't really have an appetitite.…

Thank you so much!!!!

Congratulations for those of you that met your goals and the ones that lost weight. That is awesome!!! I will lose a pound or two then I stay at the same weight it seems forever. I am going to have to do better with portion control, snacking at night and incorporating more exercise. Those are my goals this week. We will…

Would you mind sharing the recipe for your homemade sauerkraut? It looks delicious!
