it might be time to ask hubby for stock investment in pedometer for christmas i'm with you on having it at all times, its like a security blanket. I love checking it before and after my lunch walk

I'm in too (little late sorry) busy week at the office, but boy am I addicted to the treadmill!!! I feel like a guy who just got a new remote control I keep pushing the 3.0mph then go to 4.0mph for 2 min then back to 3.0 and back to 4.0.. i love it

I feel like I'm back in high school when I figure out your miles. Mr. Solka's math problems. Stairs 15min = 1 mile 4 miles in an hour * 6 hrs for mon and tues moving adventure = 24 miles Walking, stroll (2 mph) 30 minutes = 1 mile Shopping... does it count? anything involving the word shopping constitutes in my book as something! 2 miles in an hour * 7 hours for Fri and Sat = 14 more miles 38 for the week well done.. thanks for refresher

I do not drink anything with carbonation. I don't want to experience the gassy feeling it leaves (from what I have been told). I am told that the carbonation will expand the pouch and can be uncomfortable. A friend of mine went to a conference where they opened a bottle of soda, put a balloon on top of it and watched the balloon expand just from sittig on the open soda. The gases expanded the balloon without even one drop of liquid being put in it. I have not seen this done personally (might be fun to try). I didn't drink a lot of soda before surgery, just broke the habit and was used to water and iced tea. Now I only drink water, hot or iced tea (mostly decaf, usually flavored) and I like to use the "to-go" packets of crystal light or lipton white or green tea mixes you add to a bottle of water. I have had 4 sips of soda since surgery and didn't like the taste of any one of those sips. Sometimes an ice cold soda looks so good - but it never tastes like it looks to me. Robin
