What we are eating,and what's eating us!!!! Sunday!

Hello dear ones!! I have had a hard time posting this morning,it gets stuck on processing. Any way...day is good so far. I have lost 8 pounds, I weighed 3 times in 20 minutes,so I went with the lowest..LOL. B- Fresh pineapple and cottage cheese.-Meatloaf with Mushrooms and Broc. D- Pistachio Pudding, Hot sausage with Mustard S- Vanilla yogurt (I count this as liquid) S- Fresh,juicy Orange..mmmm.   

Linda - your menu sounds special. Set a place for me, I'm coming to eat with YOU today. (wishing and dreaming) 8 more pounds - get out your camera Sister - we need to see a new picture!   Excellent progress. You are amazing. The results of my bone scan have been sitting unopened for a few days. Finally opened the thing today and wished I left it alone. The results were not good. The tests showed a 20% bone loss in my hips and they wrote a diagnosis of Osteopenia. Crapola!! I never forget my calcium and Vitamin D - what's going on here? Mom had Osteoporosis, so maybe this is a genetic factor. I will call my PCP first thing in the morning.  Losing inches in the hips is goood - losing bone is NOT!  For today, I'm not going to worry.  sending love Annette

Damn it sis!! It is time for you to get a break!!! The genes get our butts in the end. I was born with arthritis...schmuckers!! Fate that is... All you can do is the best you can and damn right worrying won't help. You are in my prayers. Olivia has been ill, has a virus, they kept her in the ER for 24 hours. I made sure they knew of wls and fear of twisted guts, as she had many symptoms.They ran bunches of tests to track everything inside of her, and bloodwork. I pray she can hold on to her job, 4 months and she has a promotion already. OK..I have found a 16 misses blouse that fits me!! This from a woman who was almost 500 pounds..this rocks!! Hugs and kisses, dearest/

Good Afternoon Lovely Linda!! Congrats on the 8 pound loss!! That is so awesome. You are doing a fabulous job. Look how far you have come...WOW I am in awe!!! Update your avatar soon sweetie....please!! I know I need to too and I will. I have been outside hanging out in the sun with the neighbors. I had to come in and get ready to head to the car races.  I can't even begin to tell you how awesome I feel with all this suncshine!! 80 degree temps and I don't even break a sweat. I don't think I will be needing much A/C this summer. B- yogurt w/ kashi and string cheese S-blueberries L-Slim Fast Protein Shake.....no appetite S-protein bar D- Chili (at the track) S-almonds or granola I love you....enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!! Kisses and hugs.....Boo .....to you!!

Hey Boo!! I will update my pic soon,I have to make sure my clothes are not too big with you guys!! LOL. What a fun day you have planned, I have been cleaning, and hanging with Olivia...watching some comedy. I am going to the store later it is about 110 here...LOL.!!! I will tell you in the morning one of the things I am shopping for...grin!! I am so happy you are more comfortable, I too can feel a difference...smile. I hope your day turned out grand! Hugs!!

Hi Annette, I was diagnosed in december with Osteopenia and they put me on Boniva right away. My mom has severe osteoporosis but she is only 83 pounds, and has shrunk 4" in height the last 5 years. . I didn't think I was at risk for it at my weight, but I lost an inch in height and 4 fractures in 4 years . I also take 1200mg of calcium a day.  My doc said genetics play a big role in Osteoprosis along with poor diet, low in calcium. and  hysterectomy at a young age (34) who knew!  But don't worry, they said with the new meds and getting calcium and Vit D I had a good chance of new bone growth. Hopefully you'll get good news too. Paulette

Thanks Paulette, I was not terribly surprised - I have shrunk 2 1/2 inches and had a total hysterectomy at age 30. I've been faithfull with my calcium and Vitamin d -  It is getting discouraging to follow all the rules and STILL have problems constantly. Still better than obesity (I hope) Annette

Yep, Annette.... I've got Osteopenia as well.   I'm dealing with it, too.  Not taking my calcium....  Janet

Good morning, errr afternoon, dear big sis! Congratulations on the 8 pounds gone bye bye. May they get lost and never return!! I think that was VERY wise on your part to weigh 3 times and take the lowest. I would do that too. I sometimes weigh myself a few times and if it comes back the same I go with it. Especially if it is a big loss!! Those big losses are a best friends. lol  I hear what you are saying about the processing stick because I get the same thing every once in a while. I hate it and so when it happens I wait for a bit and then click on cancel and it usually (always really) got posted anyway. I check to make sure. It has never failed to post. Gotta do what you what you gotta do. haha Food today is not to high on my list. But I am looking forward to dinner. It sounds so good. Just what I have been wanting.  B: Special K w/ skim milk L: frozen lean cuisine dinner D: sausage on the grill with veggies D: sf pudding I have been dreaming of suasage and now my dream has come true. Yes!! Bill is back on the grill thing again. He hasn't grilled since he went back to work I think so it has been about a week and half. He is probably going through withdrawls! I guess there is such a thing as grilling withdrawls since my hubby is proof of it. My lean (not really) mean(again not really) grilling machine and his name isn't George either. lol My walk for Relay for Life went well. We walked about 3 miles and my back started up so we had to stop. My cousin Johnny was there and he looked good. He told me that he felt good and things were going fine. I just love him so much~he is such a sweetheart. He has lost his hair but if that is the worst thing that happens he is going to be lucky. Please keep him in your prayers. Pancreatic cancer is the worst cancer you can get according to the internet. I made that mistake of looking it up. Never do something like that if someone you love has it. I learned that the hard way.  Please have a good rest of the day. Laundry and most of the housework is done here. Life is good! I am keeping you and Olivia in my special prayers. Love and lots of big hugs to you, my sweetheart.  

God bless you, and Johnny, and all who walked. My dad passed from this disease at 49. God is good,we praise Him in all things. You fuss about hubby and the grill, then you crave some grilled morsel yourself!! You are too cute. Sigh,it is hot and I am trying to get my daughter to do my little shopping for me as she needs to go, and I am shall bribe with pudding...grin! Hugs back to you,sweet lady!
