I remember the days of trading in cans and bottles in Michigan. Sometimes that's how I got my extra money when I was broke. Yeah, it's a pain to drag them back. Here, we just take them to the recycling center. No money back for them.
Okay...I am home from the Y. I go MWF at 9:00 am and work with Chris for an hour. I get there early so I can do 20 min on the recumbent bike to warm up. We usually work with free weights. My reason for getting a trainer was 1. to keep me motivated so I would actually do the work and 2. to learn some exercises I can do at home and on the road. I have modified that a little. After working with the weights for awhile I am concerned that without a spotter I could injure myself. I am a little afraid of lifting in some of the positions all by myself. So.....I have asked him to use these last 3-4 sessions to show me the equivalent exercises on the machines. It would be difficult to do the exercises wrong or to injure myself on these. I have learned several exercises I can do on the road and now need to be sure I have something I can do successfully on my own at the Y so I will continue to go and workout. It would be great if I could have a trainer all the time but my bank account is suffering already so that is not an option. In addition to the machines there are several good classes there both in and out of the water. So I should have a good foundation to build on. There is a Y in Sheridan but I won't be there until September. Hope there is one in Cody where I will be in July and August.
I had two boiled eggs for breakfast and a little beef jerky after my workout. Not hungry but in an hour or so I will make sure I eat something. I promised my "sister from another mother" that we would go to Joe's crab shack tonight. It is " all you can eat snow crab night" . I will just get a regular order of queen crab and still have leftovers but she will definitely get the all you can eat. She is a voracious eater and is slim. I must give her credit though she works hard and walks a lot and also swims. I need to prep some carrots for easy eating and will do that a little later. I also love most fruit but am not a fan of raspberries. I love blackberries but can't eat them anymore. The seeds annoy me more than the eating is worth. I do eat bananas even though they are high in carbs and calories. They are also high in B Vitamins and potassium so I think they are worth it besides, they are my favorite fruit.
I guess that is all I am up to today. Hope you all have a good day.
Good Morning Carla and OFF,
I increased my water yesterday, but didn't reach my goal, but did well.
I have a new food plan, so I need to get some groceries in today. I also have to trade in soda cans and bottles. All diet soda. Michigan requires a 10 cent deposit on them. I accumulated quite a bit while I was recuperating, and still have some. It's such a pain to drag them to the store.
I love fruit, almost all of them, except raspberries. LOL Kathy. Your favorite is my least favorite.
I'm picking Izzy and Lincoln up at school, taking Izzy to her piano lesson, and then watching them for Trent and Colleen.
Better scoot. Too much to do.
Hugs,

Good Morning Jeannie!
I have been doing good the past few days on my water, too. One step at a time! I am trying a different method...4 glasses by noon & 4 by dinner & anything after that is a bonus!
I also met my goal of walking 40 minutes/day, but darn are my knees killing me, too! And that's only 10-15 minutes more than what I was doing...makes no sense!
I love watermelon! Raspberries & watermelon are my 2 favorites. I used to eat alot of bananas, but didn't realize how high in carbs they were. So I focus on the raspberries almost year round & watermelon in summer.
I have been up for hours & accomplished most of my goals for today so I may be posting again later.
Enjoy your day!
Kathy
Good Morning,
Im gearing up and can't have my coffee this morning. I have a scope this afternoon at around 1:30.
Ther r checking to see if the ulcer in my bypass is gone! I hope it is!!! I have to be at the hospital at 12:30.
Im going camping on Friday with a group of women from around the state. It should be a lot of fun! I got a new tent for Mother's Day.
Hi Carla!
Hope your scope goes well...I hate those things! But sure beat an internal...lol!
We are hoping to do some camping this summer with Jazz. She has never gone. Right now we are still waiting for this crazy weather to warm up. Still in the 50s here...
Take care.

I find that if I crave something and try to find a substitute I end up eating way more of something else and still won't be content. A very small portion of what I really want works better. If it is a trigger food its harder to eat just a little but even if I eat more than I should and the craving goes away I am better off in the long run. That being said if the situation occurs often that strategy would not work.

Sorry you are having issues with you sister. You are so right about not putting someone else's vehicle in your name. If he were in an accident you would be opening yourself up for a law suit from other passengers or passengers in the other car. That's why I won't co-sign anything. When my son got his first apartment his dad and I (divorced at the time) both said we would guarantee the rent even if it meant paying 6 mos in advance but neither of us would put our name on the lease. Too many law suit happy folks out there.
Hope you get a little peace on your camping trip.
Hello everyone.
Sorry I didn't respond yesterday to all the posts. For some reason every time I got still I fell asleep. Weird day. I slept sitting in my chair, watching tv, reading, you get the picture. This continued all day and into late evening. Guess my body knew what it was doing.
Everyone seems to be doing some movement each day. Good for us. lets keep it up.
