BRRRRR not going to get much walking in this week...it's 27 out right now...too cold for me! I am going dancing tonight and saturday...maybe that will give me a few miles this week.

Like Rick said, I've also never puked since surgery. But I've been so miserably sick a few times that I TRIED to puke to relieve the pain and I couldn't! Its like my "puker" got lanced when I had this surgery Last time I got sick was a frozen "Calzone" pocket (new Hot Pocket product). I didn't eat the whole thing, only abouf half... and a couple hours later I was sick. Usually I get sick right away but that time it took me a while to react to it... I still don't eat rice, but I can eat some pasta in moderation. I still avoid sugar, but I'm fine with dairy/milk products.

Jannine, That's just plain not nice. You do have a few good pointers though. Promise me you wont tell my wife.. Does it count that I raked leaves and cleaned the chimney today? Have a great day, Rick

happy rainy Tuesday everyone! I was suppose to meet a co-worker from the old cop days, but she called and said she has the flu so I'm avoiding her like the plague! having the flu once every few years is plenty for me!!!! I feel like I'm getting lazy with exercise, probably because I'm always so cold and just want to bundle up at home Is anyone else still dealing with always being cold? Its 50 out (which isn't bad for a fall day in New England) and I have a cable knit sweater on with a sweater coat on top, 2 pair socks and cords all i can think is.. if I'm this cold now, its only going to get worse.. Those freezing winter days that the high is like 15... ughhh I get chills just thinking about it! my quinoa mixture came out much better than the first time. I used chicken broth instead of water and it gave it good flavor, added a few spices, corn, black beans, tossed some shrimp in at the end.. mmmmm too bad I didn't bring any for lunch since I lost my lunch date heres my day drive to work - iso fruit cantaloupe protein shake breakfast - 2 banana cookies with 1 T peanut butter snack - apple muffin lunch - weight control oatmeal with 2/3c smart milk and 1T peanut butter dinner - quinoa, black beans, corn and shrimp combination (protein, protein and more protein) snack - broccoli and cheese vitamins - all in exercise - short walk to dunkins.. water - only 20oz so far, too chilly to drink hows everyone doing today? let us know!

Hi, A bit of a slacker for last week. I walked 16 miles for the tail end of the month. I figure if I stay on task that I can reach my goal of walking 2000 miles by the end of the year since I started keeping track 15 months ago. I have about 225 miles to go. We'll see. Have a great day, Rick
