  • I just managed to lose all of my responses. I not only lost the word processor, but also the bar at the bottom where you shut down the computer. I called hubby, who says that he'll have to come home and see what I did, so I guess they're gone. I wrote to several people I haven't written to before, too. :grumble: It's so…
  • Wow! I missed Sunday, and there were 5 new pages to read. I ended up shoveling our entire 200 foot driveway by myself on Saturday, so am definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s massage. Hubby usually does most of the shoveling, but he was at work. When I looked out, some of the drifts had gotten knee-deep and I didn’t…
  • I notice that I use a lot of exclamation marks in my comments. It just seems like such short messages to different people need some emotional excitement, I guess. I picked up the Isagenix yesterday, and had my first shake this morning. I can’t say that I thought it tasted very good, but it is drinkable and I’m excited to…
  • At least I'm back to reading the posts, and will pick up my Isagenix this morning. Since I wrote a book yesterday, I'll keep it short this time! Meg -- Thanks for the good wishes for my parents. That's great that you "divide your plate." Mine is always more protein than anything else. Brooke -- I loved your comment about…
  • I have a few more minutes today than I had yesterday, so I’ve read the current thread. Today is my mother’s doctor appointment. She keeps telling me that she’s having heart attacks, but she never tells me until the next day. I can’t get her to understand that she needs to call me to take her in when this happens! Anyway,…
  • Happy Wednesday! I'm just popping in for a quick hello! I see that it's been six days since I was last here -- I apologize. This is my busiest time of year, and I just haven't had a spare moment to read the posts or anything else. I hope that you are all happy and well! I can't seem to quite get my act together, and I'm…
  • I am SO sore! I shoveled my parents’ driveway and sidewalk yesterday… definitely not used to using those muscles. I made it through the day logging yesterday, which put me right back on track. It’s amazing how just writing things down makes you eat correctly. I even made a green smoothie! When I posted the pictures…
  • Thank you so much for your kind comments on the pictures (and your patience in looking at all of that URL pasting! I wish there was a way to delete the posts like that, but I could only find an edit button). I’ve been wanting to post some pictures since last July, so there are about 4 more of them that I wanted to share.…

We're cropped rather strangely, but here it is! My gorgeous and daughter and…
  • Nope, it still doesn't work. Even with the tutorial from MFP and making everything lower case. For those who post pictures, what am I doing wrong????

  • It's snowing again today in Denver. We got a foot over the weekend, so have spent a lot of time shoveling! If my next attempt at photo posting works, it is a picture of my daughter and myself at her wedding rehearsal in August. Deb A – Thanks for the photo help! I’ll try it again below. Cheryl – It sounds like Fitbit has…

  • I'm back from Mexico, and having a hard time getting back to logging. I'm just feeling lazy! I was sick almost the entire trip... I came down with a flu bug the first night there, so that wasn't much fun. I'm trying to figure out how to post a photo. I just opened the photobucket account and uploaded some pictures, but the…
  • It's amazing how fast the old bad habits return when you aren't logging. I've been at this for 7 months now, and I do well when I log. The moment I don't write everything down, though, it seems like I'm right back where I started. I wonder how long it's going to take for healthier habits to kick in and become permanent???…
  • :heart: Happy Valentine’s Day!!! :heart: It’s set! My daughter’s wedding will be in the Her Life magazine here in Denver, maybe the April issue. She needs to answer the interview questions and give them a dozen photos to choose from. :smile: Yesterday was bad, and I finally just stopped logging. I was really worried all…
  • I get to go to Mexico with hubby this weekend, after all! :smile: :smile: My son volunteered to drive down and take his grandfather to the VA appointments next week, so I just canceled everything else. It's going to be a short trip this time -- only six days -- but I'm really looking forward to sitting on the beach with my…
  • Nothing new here today -- I hope everyone's day is off to a fabulous start! I'm having my author reception on Saturday, and am trying to decide what to serve. Most of the guests won't be on a diet. If anyone has any great appetizer recipes, please send them along! Lin – 2 inches off! Good for you!!! :flowerforyou: BJ – I…
  • Just sitting here sipping on my green smoothie… I haven’t yet developed the habit of drinking them, but am working on it! I’m planning to help pack boxes for Project Cure tonight. This is my first time. The volunteers all meet at Jason’s Deli for dinner beforehand, so I’m going to need to check out their website and see…
  • Hello, all! It's been a busy three days at the VA with Dad. Yesterday, our 1 hour appointment turned into 9 hours, as he had some other problems he hadn't mentioned to me and we ended up in the ER department there. I was a bit frustrated, as I had to cancel my afternoon meeting (which they had nicely changed to Friday for…
  • We woke up this morning to 5 inches of snow on the ground. It's pretty, but I'm hoping the roads are melted off before I leave for the VA again this afternoon. I seem to live in a snow pocket, so there will probably be less in town than there is here. It's typical Colorado weather here today -- sunny with blue skies, but…
  • I had an off day yesterday... not really sick, but just feeling foggy in my head along with a lot of pain radiating down my right arm from my neck (I've had issues with my trapezial muscles for several months now). I managed to change lanes in front of an oncoming car that I didn't even see. Thank goodness that driver was…
  • I didn't watch the Superbowl, as I don't care for football. :ohwell: In fact, Laura told me on Friday who was playing in it! I've always thought it was a great time to shop without crowds, or to get into a restaurant that normally has a long wait. It was shopping this year, instead of eating! Hubby went to a Superbowl…
  • I made my first stab at “juicing” last night! I took everything that looked healthy and tossed it into my Vitamix: wheat germ, flax, spinach, kale, beet greens, carrots, celery, parsley, avocado, kiwi, blueberries, tangerines, banana and almonds. I gave half of it to hubby for dinner. I’m not sure he was too impressed, but…
  • Somehow, I never quite made it to the posts yesterday! I tried a couple of times, but the phone kept ringing each time I started… I did have a really nice lunch with Laura80111 at Red Lobster. We talked and talked, just like we’ve known each other forever. :smile: Yesterday was a milestone, as hubby sold his remaining gas…
  • Good morning, Ladies! This thread is such a great way to procrastinate about my work for the day, as it takes so much time to read and respond! :wink: I'm looking forward to meeting Laura80111 for the second time tomorrow, for lunch. We had so much fun the first time we met! I'm still wondering if the Fitbit counts…
  • Will wonders never cease?! I finally saw a new low on my scale today. Just a half pound, but still..... a new low! So I'm trying to figure out what I did differently this week, and the only thing that stands out is drinking a cup of the Naked Green Machine juice each day. Do you think that adding those nutrients can make…
  • Happy Tuesday! I'm just waiting for the handyman to arrive -- he has no concept of punctuality (now 55 minutes late), but will get my list done, so I'll have to forgive him. Nothing has changed on the son front. Eating has been going well the past few days. I'm having sushi with a young friend tonight, which should be fun.…
