WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

Just got a phone call from Susan , she said the storm knocked out their internet so she wasn’t able to post the Whats Happening   So here it is lol .....

Man we have been having downpourings of rain here. Yesterday we got 1and ¾ inch...i haven’t been out to look at the rain gauge yet because it is pouring some more.

From what I can see from on the porch it looks like we have another inch...at least. Will see later. I poured it all out late yesterday evening. So what ever we got during the night is there too. we really did need this rain really bad.

Yesterday we got the water line for the ice maker out and ran it on the other side of the house, or I should say Joe did(I don’t crawl under the house)  I get all claustrophobic I tried that once and it felt like I couldn’t move and there is plenty of room under there.

Just me....good thing Joe isn’t like that ....we would spend a fortune in repairmen.

Any way we moved the frig. And wow that really opens up the looks of my kitchen . it makes it look a whole lot bigger.  While he was under the house running the water line , I took the base cabinet loose from the wall and then took off the baseboard  and moved the cabinet over 71/2  inches. Miss Peg the stove I got from Peggy at her sale is 371/2 inches. I then cut the baseboard off 71/2 inches so the base cabinet would fit against the wall even.  Since it is raining today we will move the top cabinet over to be even with the base cabinet and maybe run the gas line for Miss Peg. I cant wait to start using her....oh boy....

To once again have a gas stove and one as majestic as Miss Peg. She is a beauty,

Oh I didn’t go to the doctor yesterday , I forgot till too late.  I am going to email Margie today and talk to her about it and see what she says...I too tried a strawberry smoothy yesterday and yes it started making me feel funny again....not as bad but I got to figuring up the sugar content in it and it is high,,, I have always been able to drink that but for some reason my body has changed once again I think and am not able to tolerate sugar ....i have noticed for a while that if I eat anything with over 5 grams it makes me feel really sluggish...and sleepy...so all of this maybe is a good learning tool and it is good anyway I don’t want to eat sugar...so I will just have to do things the way im suppose too lol darn.....I don’t think there is anything wrong any where  else because I just had a bunch of test run , yearlys and everything was ok with them....levels are all great , I have to go have some others done, my insurance thing I have pays for yearly test that checks for heart , liver, mamagram and dexa scan....also checks the arteries in the neck too ...so when I get those done if anything is wrong will know it. 

Susie just think what pretty straight teeth you will have soon. And then get them whitened and wow you will be a star.... Hope your mouth isn’t too sore.

Jo    how many calories do they want you to eat....that would be a lot of food to eat. I never can get in any more than a 1000 calories and that seems like I am eating all the time...you are going to have to do like I do.....Joe my husband loves mashed pots and gravy too....but I just fix a small amount only for him....i don’t need the extra startch from the potatoes...no one does if they are trying to loose weight...it turns to SUGAR....

When I fix him mashed potatoes I fix me mashed sweet potatoes. ...i cook several sweet potatoes at a time and skin and mash them and then divide them into several little 1/3 cup containers.  I have the plastic baby food containers. My granddaughter when her last one was little saved them all for me ...but I also found some with different color lids on them was like six in a package for a dollar at the real dollar store.

I depend on my small things like this that I make and freeze lots of times.

I am worried about you because you seem to think that you are suppose to get to where you can eat anything and it wont bother you? If im wrong im sorry don’t mean to upset you at all. but the point of the surgery is that you can and do learn to eat healthy...and a lot of the stuff that you say you have tried and it makes you sick and will try again later , you really don’t need it and shouldn’t be eating it anyway....corn, spag, potatoes. ....none of it is necessary and don’t have much in it except starch....and starch isn’t something that we need expecially us....

Your memories of the fresh blackberries and your dad , aren’t those memories precious? And nothing like good fresh fruit of any kind.  I have some watermelons growing and there is some that look like they are about ripe....

Please don’t get mad at me for the comments above....i wouldn’t tell you if I didn’t love you and want you to do well....You are doing great already and I know you would like to lose more that is why I spoke , most everyone knows that im pretty blunt but it is only because I want the best for you.....

Sandy my zucchini aren’t dying but they certainly aren’t producing. Don’t know what is going on with them....i will see if the county extension office knows why on that ....will email that guy today too...will ask him about your dying too.

I have tried stevia and I don’t like it at all. too much after taste for me.....maybe I used too much I don’t know ...

There is nothing like those big jucy tomatoes fresh out of the garden is there....yummy my mouth is watering just thinking about it....

Well need to get this posted.....love all and hope Susan is able to do this tomorrow for me again.

The dietician said at least 1200 calories a day and more when I exercise.  I've not made the 1200 so far.  I don't know where you got it that I think I an supposed to eat anything and it won't bother me.  That isn't so at all.  I never eat anything fried, isn't even appealing, keep sugar to 10 grams or less, always get my protein in and keep my carbs low.   Most days my net carbs are under 50.  I do eat starches like 1/4 cup of pasta or 1/4 of a potato or corn but only once a week.  The dietician said that is fine.  She said I don't need to cut out all carbs.  Your body needs them.   My goal in the beginning was to lose 103 lbs.  I've lost about 70.  The doctor wants me to lose another 20 and I want to lose 30. 

I'm not one for leftovers.  I will eat something reheated once and then I'm done with it.   If it weren't for hubby I wouldn't cook in the evening, just have a protein drink.  He doesn't cook but he does so much around the house I can't complain.  He works outside for hours and loves it like some of you plus he does all the laundry.

I am loving the Greek yogurt.  Never thought I would really even like yogurt.  Today I had it with fresh strawberries.
