  • Well, I tried the glass of water, but was still randomly opening and closing cupboard doors...I settled on overhauling the master bedroom until it was time to cook supper. Lol!
  • Better late than never, right? :smile: I'm jumping in late too. Going to pop my pedometer on in the morning and go for 10,000/day for the rest of the month. (Yay!! Good to be back!!)
  • I'd consider that an option if we were just dating, and not married...but the reality is that the decisions I make are going to directly impact him, so it's only respectful to take his feelings and concerns into account and serious consideration, in the same way I appreciate him taking my views into account when he's…
  • Bearing in mind that my post was a rant about frustrations and laced with my personal (admittedly warped) sense of humor, perhaps I should put my Hubby's character and our relational dynamic in perspective, because while the statements are true, they certainly don't sum it up and it isn't an accurate representation of our…
  • I've been literally bursting out laughing at the responses...it really is pretty quick, and we actually ring the calves and lambs so it's only pigs that I do surgically (we take the horses and dogs in). I'm starting to wonder if perhaps people don't realize that intact mature males can be extremely dangerous and don't make…
  • LOL!! I promise I only remove animal body parts, and only when it's necessary. I love animals, have a strong interest in veterinary medicine and perhaps...a slightly warped sense of humor... ;) Yes...our little man is fully recovered. :)
  • Haha!!! Yes, I live on a farm, and I only castrate animals that need it...(and that belong to me)...I learned some neat skills when I worked at a pig barn for about 4 months, like how to surgically remove testes from within the abdominal cavity if they aren't descended and how to do sutures, but that's a story for another…
  • I'm not sure about the A1C testing...They ran a bunch of test on me a few years back, but I can't remember now what all they did. I had one Dr. tell me that I should go on the pill to "resolve" my PCOS...never mind that we were trying for another baby at the time. After that I never really even considered the Metformin…
  • Thanks for the comments so far! :) I guess I should clarify. When I say I estimated my past average consumption at 600-1000 calories, I meant that most days that's where my eating fell. I definitely had my binge moments (Christmas...okay, more like the last 1/2 of December ;) , Thanksgiving, or if we went out...but we live…
  • Sorry, just realized how long winded that was...one final thing, I'm not weighing my food yet, measuring what I can and estimating what I can't...pretty sure I'm rounding up not down, so my caloric intake might be slightly lower than what I think it is. Will be correcting this in the next day or two...I know Hubby has a…
