Assorted ramblings.....
Just an update.... the "eating correctly" thing is going well... I have dropped 6 pounds so far....
I did a mile walk today....haven't been to the gym like I planned... so this walk today was my first real "workout" .... did the mile, and it is a hilly route over the meadows and through the woods to grandmothers house... the knee was really talking to me at the end, but not a lot of pain really... just felt like I have to concentrate on how I walk.... sorta like controlling a mechanical device with my head.... does that make sense???
I finally found some soup base that makes an instant cup of chicken soup that tastes good... it's called Superior Choice and comes in a small jar and looks like yellow pudding... bought some different vitamins too.... gel caps....
Work is OK... although there is apparently a problem with a co worker I have to deal with..... long story, but basically she is crude, rude, and the most obnoxious person i have ever been around... she likes to spread lies about people... so she is always in trouble but never seems to improve... she lied to the boss about me, and I guess I have to deal with that on Monday.... found out through another co worker so we will see...
Shoes are working a lot better since I bought the socks I found at Sears... they are especially made just for wearing with steel toe shoes.. they work great!
Thanks to all for the suggestions on the food... so far, so good!

Hey, Marc, it sounds like you are doing something right as far as the weight loss is concerned. If it works don't fix it. Congratulations!
I figure that the lady (and I use that term loosely) has to have some fun in her dark and miserable life. To bad that it is at the expense at others. I hope that you get things straightened out and that the crabby old thing keeps her nose in her own life and leaves everyone else along. I like the saying "If everyone swept in front of their own door the whole world would be clean" and it seems fitting here.
I am glad the socks helped too. I should maybe get Bill some of them. You got them at Sears, right?

Hi Marc, Glad to hear that the weight loss is going so well. As for the "lady" at work you are absolutely correct in meeting the problem head on and letting her know that you are not going to put up with her BS. Some people are only happy when they are trying to get others in ho****er. I think it is only to take the heat off of themself. Watch your back!
My DH just started a new job. It has been a while since he has worked full time and it is kicking his A$$!!!! He has to get up at 4:00 am and meet his carpool at 5:15 am. They have a 1.5 hour drive both ways and he gets home around 7:00 pm. By the time he gets a shower and eats he is ready for bed! I hope that he will adapt soon. Anyway it is a construction job building an ethynol plant. I may have to get him some of those socks you mentioned. Thanks for the tip!
Hugs
