There is a process in place at most Ys where if a person is causing issues reports are filed. That's how management can track problems. Approach the lifeguard offline and preferably not while they are on pool duty. Ask that this woman's behavior be documented. Multiple issues can give management the right to ask her out of…

Actually there are clothes made for swimming that can cover your arms, and my swimsuit goes to my mid thigh. I am getting ready to teach swim lessons and aquafit classes and I need these to stay warm in the water. These may help you cover your scars. Don't be self conscience about swimming. Soooo many many folks use the…

This this and this.....

Christmas Eve it will be fish Seafood salad Stuffed flounder Christmas morning Cinnamon rolls Christmas casserole. Green chiles and cheese in bisquik with half and half. It's like the old impossible pie Mimosas Noon Boiled shrimp Veggie platter Wine Christmas dinner Standing rib Yorkshire pudding Roasted potatoes Green…

I lightly bread and sauté boneless skinless cutlets in a tiny bit of oil just til brown but not cooked thru. Then I add about 3/4 cup low sodium fat free chicken broth to the pan. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. The chicken is moist and juicy. You can then add lemon to the sauce and maybe a pat of butter. (I don't) Serve over…

Make potatoe leek soup. Wash and slice leeks. Peel and slice potatoes. Saute leeks in olive oil til tender. Add potatoes cover with chicken stock. Bring to a boil and cook til potatoes are tender. About 20 minutes. Blend with immersion blender. Add a cup of skim milk. Serve warm or cold.

I use butter, olive oil for general cooking and then cooking spray for scrambled eggs and such. Right now I'm getting ready to start baking Christmas biscotti. I have, no lie, 12 pounds of butter in the fridge. Granted it will make many dozens of cookies but I would not use anything else. Also remember as Julia Child…

What is important to you? If the answer is no change to your life then stay where you are. If you want change you have to make change. Do something you like and fit it in. You only need maybe an hour a few times a week. Find it!

Is the hamburger cooked? If not morph them into tiny meatballs and add to soup. You can add flavoring to them. If they are cooked this may work but I'm not sure.

2711. That's a guesstimate. I savored Every. Single. One.

Like water for chocolate. Just bad.

You can do this!

I will go thru my diary for my really good days...duplicate one and get to the gym. I don't beat myself up I just move forward. The way I see it...everything else moves forward regardless of the circumstances, so should I. Very good luck to you. Just the fact you are reaching out about this shows determination.

Oh yea, and I have to have cranberry sauce, homemade and the kind that is solid like jello in the can

Stuffing either in the turkey or separate in a baking dish?

When I travel like that I carry pure protein bars with me. That way I can make sure I eat and I have control. I have gotten them thru security in my carry on. Maybe you can find one that will work for you.

Kale.

Heck no.....never!

We will have two, one the Sunday before and one on the day of. For the Sunday before we will be at future in laws...I will exercise in the morning and watch portions. For the one on the day, I am cooking. Luckily when I cook the meal by the time I eat I am not hungry after smelling the food all day. I will have steamed…

I second this. Worth. Every. Penny.

I need to shake up my routine. Count chocula and chocolate soy milk sound very good......

I am just joining... Just for today I will exercise...I swim Just for today I will not have a glass of wine before or after dinner Just for today I will be very mindful and weigh and measure everything I eat and drink Just for today I will do it...just for today....

I can't eat early right before I swim. I need to but my stomach won't tolerate the food.

I am the same height as you are. Years ago my Mom quoted Ann Landers. I've used it once or twice and it seems to work. Look straight at the person and say Why on earth would YOU say something like that to ME???? It embarrasses them. They end up apologizing and that's the end of those comments.

I am involved and supportive with likes and comments when my friends are successful or need encouragement. I will unfriend folks that are not interactive. It is a two way street as far as I am concerned. If someone never likes or gives me any feedback and support I feel as if I don't matter to them and I move on. No harm…

Very very funny!!!!!

See a Doctor...ask for a complete blood count. The tests will be a red blood cell count, a hemoglobin concentration and red cell indices: MCV, MCH, MCHC. Also ask for an iron and iron binding capacity. Then and only then can you answer your question.

I agree with TavistockToad...if you don't want to eat them don't. I do roasted veggies..I blanch snow peas and green beans then toss with a Dijon vinegrette. I buy broccoli slaw and sauté it in olive oil. Stuff zucchini with any number of stuffings and bake. I get so tired of lettuce I have to find alternatives. Spaghetti…

I also recommend swimming. Start small and build your workouts. I eventually joined a lap class and they make us do a combo of the four strokes to use different muscles. Your stroke in freestyle, when done properly is designed to protect your shoulders. Maybe seek help so you don't aggravate your tendonitis. Good luck to…
