Quick drive by here.  Been AWOL, with preparing for house inspection by realtor, and family stuff.  

Exercise has sucked, coz walking is painful from bursitis in hip.  Hopefully I will get a shot tomorrow.

Food has been so-so.  Still getting into sugar, just not bingeing on it.  I am having greek yogurt with granola for breakfast each morning.  Very satisfying.

Hugs,

Trish

Hi Linda, those to come. . .

Busy weekend with the littlest of my grandchildren, who just lights up my life. . . parents are moved into their new home, I ate what I could, nothing like I would normally, but little time for eating when trying to entertain an almost nine month old, who is teething, doesn't like to nap and with the weekend, almost entirely rainy and cold. . .  today my back aches and I have lots to do, so trying to compensate for the weekend with my food choices, cottage cheese and small russian bagel for breakfast, strawberries and l/f cheese for snack, lots of water in between, thai shrimp soup for lunch, applesauce for snack and dinner is not figured out yet.

Have a great day!

Hello Ladies,

I am rushing like a crazy person, trying to get the last of my 2015-16 academic year stuff done.  

Today's breakfast was an egg and DH and I have decided we are giving up eggs. We both have lost our taste for them and they just sit in my pouch and make me miserable...I'll still cook with them but no more for breakfast.

Lunch is a veggie patty, fried squash and okra.  I forgot my snack.

Dinner is beans that are cooking in the crock pot.  

That's it for me. Ladies, do Monday proud.

Good Morning ladies

I am doing a quick drive by.  I am leaving in about 15 minutes for Hot Springs Village.  Have some business to take care of and will also take in a few sights.  I am scouting out small towns to see if any of them compare to Sheidan Wy.  Hubby wants to be reasonably close to an airport so we will look in and around Little Rock.  Any idea you Arkansas ladies.  I want a place that has a definite sense of community.  A place that big city "progress" has passed by.  Where people have a pride of ownership and take care of their property and are courteous to one another.  Where you could leave your doors unlocked during the day and not worry and sleep with the windows open without being concerned you'd have visitors in the night.  Sounds like a tall order I know but that is Sheridan and that is what I am looking for.

Since I will be on the road I will be making the best choices I can as far as food is concerned.  I am bringing good choice snacks with me.  I have a cooler and my celery and carrots are in there along with some fruit.  Exercise will be walking during stops but it will be limited.  Once there I will have access to lots of trails and will be doing a lot of running around getting things done so I'll get my steps in. 

Also Jeannie maybe you know about pinnacle mountain.  I know it is in Little Rock and I have heard that it is a challenge to climb.  I want to try it.  Have you  been there?

Gotta scoot.

see ya later

Good afternoon everyone!

I am sure glad someone is keeping the posts going on a daily basis. I may not post, but I do stop by everyday to see what is going on. Weekends can be slow due to folks being busy, but as stated that can be a good thing!

I have had a mean sinus headache all weekend in response to all this rain. I am SO SICK OF IT or the general overcast chilly days. I had such a great day Friday due to it be sunny & in the 70s. I used to envy all the postops who talked about running around all day getting a ton of stuff done. I never thought I'd have that much energy. But I see it coming. Friday I ran around from the time I got up until bedtime. A real NSV!

I am not into yoga...still can't sit on floor, but I admire those of you who can do it. I am Walker, enjoy hiking & swimming is a real passion. I used to love dancing, but it gets my heart rate up too high for my afib so it has fallen by the wayside.

I am interested in doing some bodybuilding thru weightlifting, but I really need to work on my upper body strength. It always amazes me how much I lost or have up due to my obesity that I never even realized!

I have been on track with my 40 minute walks this week & the knee pain has subsided for now. Thanks for all the suggestions...I would just take Tylenol when it was persistent.

Linda, I had to laugh when you suggested a knee brace bc my first thought was they don't make the big enough!/Then I realized I probably could get one in my size now!

So I am going to try 3 40/minute walks this week & 2 45/minute ones & see how I do. I also want to cut my carb & calorie intake & TRY to think of food as fuel instead of a coping mechanism or as enjoyment.

I become aware over & over how emotionally I eat. It doesn't matter what the feeling is...I feed it if I don't take time to process it. Jeannie is so right about how stress impacts you...I am really concerned my husband's growing memory loss is dementia related. But still I feel like I am going to explode if he asks me one more time something I told him 10 times before, misplaces his keys for the 5th time in one day, calls me from the store about something that is on the list I gave him...that he forgot he had...it just goes on & on. And I can't get away from it!

Anyhow, although I love him dearly I need to focus on my health or I won't be worth a damn to him. So I will take baby steps....water, calories & carbs down...exercise up.

Everyone have a good day!
