Mornin' Cap'tan & fellow crew mates!

Here I am up early for me...for some reason, no matter how TIRED I am at the end of the day, I cannot seem to sleep more than four hours..what's with that? This is something new for me. I make sure that I am not having a rumbly tummy before I lay down so it can't be hunger.

This is my plan for Friday:

B    hot chocolate protein drink

S    hot chocolate protein drink before heading off into the city to go swimming

L    taking cheese & crackers in the car with me since I won't be going straight home but have to run errands and visit Mother.

S    hot choclate protein drink when I get home

D    homemade tomato /beef/veg soup

S    more soup or hot chocolate protein drink..or both with time between to get my 1700 calories for the day

~3 litres water & all my supplements~

How are you doing with your swimming, Nancy? I'm so glad to see you're going!

I am truly enjoying my swimming time, Susan! I stand in the deep end...just covers my shoulders since Im 5'almost 6 inches. Because my knees have been damaged when I tried to move Mother from wheelchair to car and back, I've had severe pain and burning ever since that day, Dec 27th.   But once I'm in the water, I can "jog" easily without pain..it's amazing! 

I move my arms under the surface using the resistance of the water to push against... it must do SOME good for my bat wings, don't you think?  And there I stand, in the water, jogging for two solid hours..I don't get tired...it feels so easy and so good to move like that.  After two hours in the water, I get out and head to the hot tub and sit in there for about ten minutes...mmm! Then it's shower time and I gey dressed...but man oh man, is it ever hard to get my tight support stockimgs on after.

When I leave the hotel, I find that I have about two good hours of getting in and out of the car painfree! It's helping with the incessent throbbing in both legs...the pain is less than before and I swear that the lymphodemic swelling in my legs is decreasing. I go three times a week. It was so hard to wear my bathing suit in public but Im getting better.

Wonderful Nancy.  Before you know it you will be so much more comfortable that you'll really enjoy the time there.

I'm proud of you!

Trying to row the ship for excercise!

Well good morning to you my captain....!!
Man, spin class was really hard, had a new instructor that kicked butt and I feel mine today! LOL
I just love new instructors, they like to push and are excited to motivate you.

3 cups of leaded coffee and so far 12 oz. of water (got up early this AM)
B: WW yogurt with walnuts added for crunch and extra protein

S: Atkins shake

L: Going to North 11, will have prime rib and fresh homemade veg. soup or fresh veggies
S: banana

S: apple

D: fish and veggies

S: maybe some popcorn if I need it or V-8 juice

I am trying so hard to get off the extra carbs.  They seem to sit better in my pouch and I crave them all the time.  Old habits die hard.

B - egg bake (last piece!)
S - protein/apple juice drink
L - cottage cheese
S - peanut butter on rye crisp cracker
D - Leftover soup or stew

B - 4 Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links
L - WW Creamy Rigatoni with Broccoli and Chicken
S - I might walk over to the cafeteria at lunch and find a yogurt.
D - Out at a cooking studio/restaurant that makes really deliscious food.  Probably Shrimp and something.
S - A bite or two of whatever the dessert is that is served.

vitamins, calcium & D, water, water, water,

No exercise today.  But I can do it every day of our three day weekend.

Congrats on the loss.  I have had one too.  It's working.

Hey Bev, what kind of turkey sausage links do you buy? The ones I bought  had 10 grams of fat for 2 links. Yikes!  Usually I buy the ground turkey sausage and it's not nearly as bad.
