Good afternoon beautiful ladies, Yesterday the Ghiradelli Peppermint Bark that I ordered came in. I was so excited! I sometimes will have one or maybe two at night, and they are my serious guilty pleasure. I only recently finished the bag I had from Christmas. I opened one of the bags (I ordered three) and was so upset to…

Good morning beautiful ladies, Last night I roasted an entire chicken and picked it apart for lunches. I took some with me today to make a wrap. I was eager to enter it to see the calorie and sodium counts and was pleased to find out how much lower the sodium was. I plan to make chicken salad with some, and cut some of it…

Good Monday afternoon ladies, The weekend went by so quickly and here it is Monday again. DH worked on Saturday (yeah, overtime!), so I just cleaned and baked some banana bread for my upcoming jewelry party. On Sunday it was too humid to do anything outside, so I made a huge pot of homemade spaghetti sauce (or gravy, if…

Good afternoon friends, I gave up on trying to catch up on all the posts. I am starting at page 18 and going from there. You guys are just too chatty! I appreciate the feedback from my question. I know I have an obsessive personality and if something comes into my head (like the sodium issue), it’s hard to let it go. I’m…

Good morning all, Still haven’t had the time to read the posts and probably won’t ever get completely caught up, but wanted to check in and say hello to everyone, welcome the newcomers, and say thanks to all who post regularly. I am still struggling with sodium.:devil: I realize that I have to stop depending on packaged…

Good morning to all of my Vitamin F Friends:happy: I went to visit my kids, grandkids and great-grands for the 4th of July holiday weekend. The last time I was out there (Western PA.) was about two years ago, and I haven’t seen my son in about a year, so the visit was long overdue. My daughter moved out that way in March,…

Good afternoon ladies, I’ve been thinking about my June goals and want to add a few for July. I have a huge problem with sodium as I’ve stated here before.:embarassed: I do drink a lot of water which has me in the bathroom a lot flushing out the impurities in my system, but that number still remains high more often than…

S..O..D..I..U..M Pizza is loaded with it.

Good Monday afternoon ladies, Another soggy day here on the east coast. I was disappointed that I couldn’t get in my run outside, so it was back to the TM for me. Since I had a break from it, it really wasn’t that bad. I think I was just burnt out from the same boring thing. We went to The World Café Live in Delaware to…

Good morning & TGIF! Thankfully, this week flew by and it’s Friday already! I don’t know why I’m all excited about the weekend. Let’s see…..there’s cleaning and laundry…yippee! What fun! :grumble: I just had to vent the other day, but I got it out of my system and I feel stronger today. Let me clarify about the “leaking”.…

You can absolutely lose weight without exercise. Diet is the most important thing in achieving weight loss. Diet and exercise together are the best possible scenario, but if you exercise alone, you will NOT lose weight. So don't despair! Watch those calories, and when you are feeling up to it, slowly add in exercise to…

Good morning ladies, We are still having some crazy weather here. Hot and humid with violent storms almost every day. Fortunately, the mornings have been perfect for getting in my run. Since running outside, I have had to buy panty liners because when I run, I leak….ewwwww! :embarassed: I never drink until I return, and I…

Another Monday! I found my pedometer right under my nose on the kitchen counter! I found it when I was cleaning on Saturday. I thought for sure I put it in a “safe” place, but I guess I just left it out waiting for the clip. I did get a baby clip, (with Tweetie Bird) but it’s not exactly what I need. It will work for now…

Just a quick post.....it was a perfect day for a run, and I got mine in this morning. My big NSV was not making excuses not to run on my day off.:happy: Met my girlfriend for lunch at Applebees and then headed to Marshalls. I got myself a new pair of shoes and a new bathing suit, which, I have to say, looks pretty darn…

Good afternoon all, We are in for a wonderful stretch of beautiful weather just in time for the beginning of summer. Thank goodness, because I am SO over all that rain! I am fortunate to be on a hill, so we never have problems with flooding, but it was all too much! Going to work is a drag in torrential downpours. I was…

Happy Hump Day! It is a beautiful morning out there, and we have had so much rain that it is very much appreciated. Yesterday we had the Phillies game with the tickets we won and I was worried because the weather was so bad, but although they had a 70 minute rain delay, they had the game after all. Our seats were…

Good Monday afternoon, It feels like the weekend just flew by and here we are at the beginning of another work week. Saturday was just beautiful here and we spent the day touring Philadelphia. It’s amazing that I lived in that city all my life and probably passed many of the sites all the time and never took notice. You…

TGIF!!! Actually, one of my bosses is in Greece, so this week has been a breeze…if it weren’t for the crappy weather we’re having, that is. Today is still rainy and even chilly. I needed a jacket out there walking Milo this morning. Milo is finally starting to calm down (he’s 9). We saw a cat this morning, and normally, he…

Happy Hump Day! I couldn’t resist eating my way through the Italian festival last night. So many wonderful smells! We had home-made fettuccini with braciole, caprese salad, rice balls and a Bellini for dinner. My girlfriend wore me down and talked me into splitting a funnel cake (WOW…those calories!), and then of course I…

Good morning all, :mad: OK, this is ridiculous now. We had heavy rains again yesterday, and they had a tornado in Delaware a little south of where I live. We don’t get too many tornadoes on the east coast, so this is unusual, but scary. They had some serious damage. They cancelled the Italian Festival. Hopefully, we’ll get…

Good Monday afternoon ladies, This was one crazy weekend! We had torrential downpours on Friday. Of course, I had to pick that day to take Milo to the groomers. When they called me to pick him up, I left in a hurry because I wanted to stop at the grocery store and pick up a few items first. I forgot to bring a towel and…

UPDATE: They arrested a 25 year old man who stole his parent's keys to the church and safe to take the money from our church carnival. The parents turned him in. The police found most of the money along with drug paraphernalia. I feel so sorry for the parents who did the right thing. I have only been a member of this…

Good afternoon ladies, No news on our church theft. DH went to pick up the Phillies tickets we won at the carnival and no one said a thing about it, so I guess they’re keeping it quiet for now. I am still trying to wrap my head around how someone could steal from a church, but I guess we’re not the first church to get…

Sorry in advance for the rant......:explode: I didn't even bother to read the posts today, but promise I will catch up when I am up to it. I am SOOOO MAD today! Someone at work asked me what parish I was in and when I told him, he told me that he saw on the news that someone stole $18,000 from the safe in our church. I…

Good afternoon ladies, Today’s weather is gorgeous. It’s sunny and cool. You’d think I would feel great, but I have a stinking headache that just won’t quit. When I get these headaches, I tend to eat more for some reason, but I’m trying to at least make healthy choices. My co-workers shared a pizza for lunch, and I was…

Happy June!:bigsmile: Stay away for a weekend and find 7 pages of posts! And SO MANY newcomers!!! Welcome to all! The more the merrier! Last week I posted that my pedometer came off in the street and got run over. The pedometer part works fine, but the clip is completely useless. I went online to find a replacement and was…

TGIF:happy: It’s been a long week, even though I really only had three days of work since we didn’t get back from OC, MD. until Tuesday afternoon. Last night while crossing the street to get to the Carnival, a lady was beeping at me and shouting something out the window of her car. I didn’t realize it until it was too…

Hi all, Well, I tried to catch up on the posts, but there were just too many of them, so I just went back two pages and we'll have to go from there. I feel like I need another vacation! Work is crazy and we volunteered at our Carnival, so after 8 hours at work, I go right to the Carnival for another 4 hours. Thank goodness…

Hi all, I'm back from Ocean City, MD. and don't have time to read the posts, but wanted to check in. Of course, we had crappy weather for our mini-vacation, and now that we're back, it's hot and sunny....go figure!:grumble: We got on the beach two of the days, but one of them was cold, and the other, while sunny enough,…

Good morning, Last week I had the heater on under my desk because my feet were freezing. Today it's so hot and humid that I've been dripping wet, and although it's not sunny, the humidity is only going to get worse.:grumble: I really had to force myself to walk the TM this morning, but I did it, and I'm glad I did. I…
