HI!!!!

Ok so I didnt want to see it go  a whole 7 days with no posts.

How is everyone doing?   How is the fall change of weather hitting you?  Are you ready to switch gears for the fall /winter season? How about food choices do they tend to change with the season? Do you think oyu make better decisions in the summer or fall?

I'll start it  off.....


Im doing well dealing with a slight medical issue but its being handled ( not sure but could be rny related).  OH yeeah i did get some labs done my pcp wanted because of my current issues----Im low in magnesium, calcium, and potassium--- I havent been faithful to my vitamins, my hand is smackd im making  a better effort.
 This weather is COLD already i pulled out a space heater tonight to get my room warmed up before bed.  Im excited fall is here I love this time of year ....if I was warmer or maybe just had someone to keep me warm it could be better...LOL.  
I think its easier for me to make smarter food choices in fall because I have more time to cook my own food.

Hi, Amy, thanks for trying to keep things alive around here. :)

I'm doing great. Went to CHRIAS last week for my 3 month follow up and I'm rocking it. 75 lbs down since surgery at the end of June! I don't know why I'm always telling myself I didn't lose much when I go in. I have to stop doing that. I'm being good. :)

I've rededicated myself to vitamins, too. I recently bought some stuff from Celebrate and it's really good. They have drink packets that you add to a bottle of water and it has half your vitamins and calcium for the day. They even have a protein shake that does the same thing. 25 g of protein and 1/2 your vitamins and calcium. The protein ones come in two flavors Chocolate Milk which is really good and Vanilla Cake Batter which surprised me by being my favorite. Real easy to drink. The vitamins only come in Citrus (tastes like Tang) and Wild Cherry. Try 'em out. They'll give you a free sample of everything if you ask. (Except those protein packs...that product is new and they don't have enough for samples yet...but they will give you your money back if you don't like the flavor of it if you only drink one packet)

Joined the Y. I go to the Bear/Glasgow one. Trying to do a half hour three times a week. I ride the stationary bike. Last night was my third time going and I got three miles in. It's not much, but it's a start. :)

I love fall, too, the nip in the air and hiding under the blankets. I like to think of it as Ireland weather that we're having now. A wee bit cold and rainy. :)

Are you the Amy who came to the support group at Christiana? It was nice meeting you if it was. I really look forward to coming back. I have to pass on the Star Award! :)

If you're not, it's a pleasure to meet you here. :)

Foodwise, I'm looking forward to some hearty soups and stews. I always loved soup, so I'm glad you can really pack it with protein and it goes down easily for me. Nothing warms the soul like a good bowl of soup.

Hope everyone is having a great week! Looking forward to jumpstarting this group.

 Congratulations, Joe. You're doing so well!    Three miles IS a lot, especially when you're just beginning your exercise program.  

Ireland weather.  What a great analogy.  I absolutely LOVE Ireland.  My husband, some friends and I went there on a vacation 6 years ago.  It was probably my favorite vacation to date.  I'd go back there in a second (if I had the funds LOL).   

See you at the next meeting.   Nina

Yes I was at the meeting.  Ill see you at the next one and I think my neighbor is coming too :)
Good Job on the weight loss and dont doubt yourself.....But i do know how easy it is.

Aww guys, I didn't get to come to the meeting.  Tuesday is truck inventory at work.  I have to verify 8 vending trucks.  Seems like it takes forever.  I'm going to try to make it next month.
I was so mad that guys couldn't get their trucks back and counted down earlier.
My husband now takes our son to football practice so he can't come either.  :O(
Judy

HMmm how can we get judy to the meeting..........Ill  come to your office at 5 and help count then maybe we get there by 7...LOL just an idea.
