Ouch! I was just at my dentist - one of my molars broke last week and I'm having a crown put in. (Guess I'd have to 'juice' it...)

Some brands of sparking water are flavored and have aspartame. They come in the same 1 liter bottles as the seltzer water which is carbonated water with possibly flavoring but no sweetener. I have to look twice sometimes to distinguish between the two because they look the same, just like clear bottled water. I prefer the…

I'm OK with eating one, say, for a snack in the morning or afternoon. That's my limit, though. I was kind of wondering if my lactose intolerance also contributed - the chewy bars also contain milk ingredients (besides of course the yummy chocolate that I can barely resist). My tolerance is getting a little better though...…

Tidal Basin, Washington D.C. April 2009 - at peak bloom for the cherry blossoms. I need a new pic for 60 lbs less - maybe this spring.

I have a winter coat I bought while in grad school and I haven't worn it since the mid-90s. I pulled it out of the closet to wear last month when I needed a longer leg-covering coat to wear to walk to work in the "coldest weather in 20 years". It fit perfectly. My usual winter coat (now close to 20 years old and wearing…

I have part of a box of Thin Mints from last year still in my freezer. Gee. Maybe I should take care of those before they get freezer burn or something. Actually someone left four packages in the break room at work with a note about 'support troop xxxxx'. I was able to walk right on by...

When I bought too many cranberries last year I just put the extra bag in the freezer. After defrosting they worked as well as the original cranberries in my cranberry-nut bread recipe. If you have only had cranberries before as sauce or as the (sweetened) dried cranberry craisins they would probably be too tart to eat just…

Always in a hurry and I never prepare anything ahead so my go-tos are quick bites. Sometimes it's lactose-free cottage cheese with spoon-size shredded wheat or fruit. I also like the 100-calorie sandwich thins, toasted, with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter - what I had this morning since it's National Peanut Day.

Ouch - I think my blood sugar this morning was close to 115. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes late last year, I probably would have been happy to get more warning from my doctor when my blood glucose levels were inching up. Anyhow, I had to go to a training class and one of the things they covered was limiting…

I had the tablet in 'landscape' mode so I didn't see the legend at the bottom. Silly me. In portrait mode it is all clear.

I have only used the Beta once - typically I'm on the website during the week and on the tablet more on weekends. One problem - I got the screen with the terms for use but it appeared blank so I don't know what I've agreed to when I OKd it. I'm using it on my Asus Transformer tablet and I think the app looks great. My…

Look for references to the DASH diet - see e.g. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/dash/ that is one diet that has been shown to help lower blood pressure as cmcmommy mentioned you need to watch sodium intake - interestingly enough that could mean cutting down on the celery since that runs a bit high in…
