Good morning peeps!

I'm at work, doing my thing.

What a great day outside.  If I was the boss, I'd let everyone go home.  Then again, I'd probably go out of business, so I guess it's a good thing I'm not the boss.

QOTD-supplements.  It's so hard to have something that you don't see results with, you know?  Like your calcium.  If you don't take it, you'll still feel pretty good for a long time, until it catches up with you, but that could be years!  It's hard for me to do something unless I see immediate results. 
Oh yeah, I want to see the studies on straw use.  I want to see thermodynamic photos of how much air you really suck in.  Someone has to prove to me that it's a detriment to my health before I'm going to buy it.

Hope you all enjoy the day!!!

Hey Brenda - now that you mention it, I have to change my answer - LOL   I must admit taking my supplements is the hardest rule for me to follow, hands down.  I am not faithful about taking my vitamins at all.  I'll take them for a couple days, then forget for a few days, then take them again, etc.........   I need to just do it and get in the habit of doing it, but its very hard for me.

QOTD-I have trouble with lots,  I'm drinking with a staw.  I had thought that we couldn't use a straw for just the first six weeks so have been.  Cold hurts my teeth and I never would get in enough fluid with out one.  If I suck in air it justs gets burped out, doesn't it???

I try to get in the suppliments, even put them in this big weekly pill thing.  I still end up with pills left in it.  Calcium is my biggest problem.  The pills are to big for a bander to swallow, even broken in half.  When I make a slury I can't get it all out of the glass.  I am doing much better not drinking during meals.

I'm now taking the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews - chocolate - yum!  I was having a hard time getting in my calcium before these - but they're like a chewy chocolate treat and I find myself watching the cloc****il I can take my next dose!  Kinda pricey - but if its getting my calcium in - its worth it.

I will have to come off the $$ when I finish up all the ones I have now.  I have several bottles of Wal-greens Carbonate chewable and Citrate pills.

Hi ya'll....
Beautiful weekend we put 350 miles on the motorcycle yesterday...rode from Wayne to BadAxe, over to Harbor Beach and down the lake....was a beautiful day....took a lot of side roads .......

QOTD....getting in all of the supplements...especially my RX for iron... I'm thinking I should just get the shots and get it over with....I hate the way it constipates me....
plus staying away from crunchy foods that are bad for me and I crave them the most.....
As for a straw in a restaraunt...I do not drink with my meals...that was easy for me as I never did any way, wish they were all that way..You'd think I would be at ease with it all after almost 7 yrs.

Hey all,

I was away all weekend, I hope you all had a great one!  Just finished lunch, carbmaster yogurt with twigs and sticks.

Q:  I'm great w/ my am vit's it's all the other ones I have trouble remembering.  Especially the calcium, way to many in a day.  Besides that I think I'm doing ok, I've never had a problem w/ the drinking w/ meals thing, I though that would be the hardest but it actually was one of the easiest.

Have a great day all,

Edie
