Super Bowl What's Up?
Good Morning OFF Family,
I cannot sleep. At first, I thought I needed Benadryl. Then, a couple of hours ago, I realized I had not taken my bedtime meds, so I took them, and I still can't sleep.
I invited my sister over to watch the Puppy Bowl, then the Super Bowl. I made a crock pot full of chili, and will be warming that up. Sissy is bringing over some wings.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Woke up at 5:30 and felt rested, so here I am. Last Sunday at my church this morning ...will be sad to say goodbye to many friends. Have just a little back stitching to do on the baby bib, and had to completely take out the stitching on the "K", so will have to re-do that,must complete it this afternoon. The baby has already come and I actually got to hold her at work Friday, when the Mommie came in to show her off. So sweet - Lyza Christine.
Will host Book Club here this evening, for the last time. Made my famous orange chiffon pie recipe, but made it red raspberry -- delicious.
Packing is done, will load car Tuesday afternoon.
Trish I hope you can some rest today. Good thoughts and prayers to all my friends here. Thanks to the wonderful internet, I'll be checking in once in a while.
Love and hugs,

Good Morning Trish, Pat R, and all to follow-
I've been lurking the the background this past week. Busy week for me with dental appointments, bloodwork and 6 month nutritionist visit here in Texas. Thursday night I was surprised by a visit from a Maine neighbor who is volunteering south of here.
No cavities at the dental appointment and they gave me a copy of all the xrays they took so I don't have to pay for another set when I return to Maine. Someday it will all be digital and I will be able to carry a jump drive. Blood work was uneventful other than the massive bruise on my arm. The technician must have punched through the vein. Six month appointment was good. I'm right at 50 pounds since surgery. My body fat percentage has dropped considerably since October.
I would have liked to have been a bit further along on the weight loss journey. I have another 50 pounds to go to get to goal. I've developed some bad habits lately with almonds so I have decided to only buy the 100 calorie packs and allow myself one per day. Bulk bags are too much like potato chips. Also going to only buy parmesan cheese and cheese sticks for cheese. The nutritionist suggested increasing vegetables and decreasing amount of protein a bit. I'll give it a try. She also suggested weaning off of all artificial sweeteners and only using Stevia. I'll give that a try as well.
Today is windy, cold and rainy here. It rained gently most of the night. I'm going to spend most of the day in the volunteer building sewing the under the counter curtains and working on a baby quilt. Superbowl may be on the agenda tonight depending on whether the wind dies down. When it's real windy the satelitte dishes vibrates too much and I lose signal.
Positive thoughts going out to all who need them.

Cindi...sounds like overall your appointment went well. Half way to goal is great...you will get there!! Inches do count!!
Did your nutritionist say why other sweeteners are not as good to use....why Stevia?? I use Splenda and am just curious as to the reason she chose that one. I will switch too if it isn't as good for you!! Thank you!
Have a good day....HUGS...connie d

Connie & Mag-
Here general comment about sweeteners was that they made things too sweet and then naturally sweetened things like fruit don't taste good to us. Nothing negative about the artificial sweeteners except that literature is starting to show they are not good for us. I'm going to do some research on Splenda as I like that a lot. Stevia is "natural". Mag- I'm not sure about the after taste as I have only been using it for two days.

Cindi...thanks for the reply. I have heard that artificial sweeteners have an ingredient that can stimulate our appetite. Plus they really aren't good for us. That is why I quit drinking Crystal Light after more then 4 years and am back to just plain water.
Please keep me posted on how you like or dislike Stevia. I would love your input somewhere down the line. Thanks!
