I agree. Isn't there any maturity where you are?

These ideas are great. Thank you.

I stopped smoking 21 years ago. It took me 3 years to accomplish that goal. I never stopped "trying". Each time I failed I learned something from that failure. I finally was able to put it all together and reach that goal. I'm not so sure "trying" is so bad if we gain knowledge about ourselves and what works for us. If I…

You brown the meat - sear the outside to keep the juices in as it cooks for a long time in the liquid.

30 minute walk outside 30 minutes of gentle yoga

My victory was I walked 1 mile today. I haven't done that in about 3 years.

I love the "drama". It makes me laugh! :laugh:

I made this last night for dinner. It was scrumptious!!!! I upped the level of herbs and spices - more to our tastes. I love cabbage rolls but never want to spend the time making them. This is a welcome addition to my "favorite" recipe list.

Too funny!!! Thank you for all the great advice.

My yoga teacher was just talking about guided visualization which I think may be the same or similar. She related that she had to have the same surgery twice. The first time many things went wrong. Before the next she practiced the guided visualizations and the outcome was completely different including being released from…

Another egg salad idea. Mash 1 hard boiled egg with 1/2 c cottage cheese. Add a little minced onion and pickle. The best part add about 2t pickle juice and mix well. Excellent sandwich filling.

Mix 2Tbl cottage cheese with 2Tbl whipped cream cheese. Spread on one toasted multi grain waffle. On a second toasted waffle spread no sugar fruit preserves. Place together like a sandwich for breakfast. about 310 calories. very yummy

I thought it was - A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I would like to join as well.

I love yoga! You've gotten some really good advice. The only thing I would add is don't forget to breathe!! Sometimes in advanced classes the instructor forgets to remind the students to breathe. If you do breathe you will be able to stay in poses longer and stretch further. I hope you have a great workout.

^^This drives me crazy! Why can't they just go get a cup a coffee?

How about Rockford, Michigan? :drinker:

You have a new "normal". That's good !:flowerforyou:

Michigan modest! !:blushing:

When I got to the last post there was an add for Merry Maids:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I totally agree with this!! I've been saying the same thing for 20 years.

I quit smoking 20 years ago after a 20 year pack a day habit. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I still want a cigarette after all these years. If I smell cigarette smoke I'm like..."Blow it my way". I occasionally have dreams where I am hiding in a closet smoking. I did it over a period of time. Places where I…

Rockford - north of Grand Rapids. Work out at the "Y" in Belmont!

You are eating way too few calories. Your body metabolism turns off when you are too low. It does that because it thinks it is starving(which it is).

Welcome. Join the 60"s group. Great friendly bunch of people

Thank you so much for posting your story and your pictures. You are a true inspiration to all of us who want to do it without surgery. I'm sorry you don't like the term journey. I feel that my whole life is a "journey" and it will only end when I die. I have been to some amazing places real and metaphorical in my trek!
