Hi Julia,
I like the new font. Sorry your garage sale was not so good. I dont know what to say about the eating because I have a hard time with that. Ive found if I dont have it in the house then I dont eat it. Like last night I had popcorn but I figuire its better than cookies, ice cream and candy.
I got my walk in this morning. I took off last week. Think i need that once in awhile.
B egg whites ham and cheese omelet and string cheese.
L cottage cheese and baby carrots
D spaghetti squash and sauce with hamburger in it
S greek yogurt, turkey sausage snack sticks, apple
Have a wonderful day
Hey, Hey!
Trying out a new font...looks like I'm writing on an old typewriter! I'm easily amused.
Our garage sale was terrible. Made $50...hardly any people came. Ay ay ay! So much work. But I am still happy that we did it. Hospice gets everything, we get a less
cluttered garage and house, and my car will fit in the garage now too. My husband's car has fit for years but mine did not.
I'm struggling with my weight again... I wish I could stay focused all the time. I look at what I do and it amazes me how little self control I have at times. It is so much a problem in my brain.
Oh well...another day to start again.
Breakfast- protein drink
Lunch- tuna on lettuce
Dinner- steak tacos
Snack- watermelon
Hope you are making plans for your knee replacement Jeannie. I think you are not being given a choice on that. I hate seeing you in such pain.
Nancy, glad you are experiencing less pain as that is an awful way to have to live!
Not to get political but the climate changes around the world are pretty undeniable! Don't even know what to expect this winter...they just can't get it right. But it IS weather, right?
I could also live on fruit & grapes have been my best friend!
Yvonne glad you're almost done the antibiotic...hopefully you can get back to normal, too!
Jeannie, your trip to ER sounded awful. Crappy way to spend the day. You sure have a LONG list planned out...I envy the access you have to fruit & nuts and how nothing seems to go to waste!
I've been doing a little cleaning & relaxing today. Went to our Pow Wow yesterday, but after a couple hours of walking around in the extreme heat & humidity our friend started having a seizure. Medics got him an ambulance & off we all went to hospital. Felt bad for him as he is terminally ill at only 60 & was enjoying himself all morning.
I got my protein powder in the mail yesterday so I am going to try to get the carbs I've been feasting on under control. I am gonna try to cut down to less than 75/day & increase my protein to 100-115. Wish me luck!
B - 2 bacon, 1 egg, 2 pancakes
L - 2 chicken strips & applesauce
S - protein bar
D - cod & more applesauce

Thanks so much....the visit to the ER was well worth the inconvenience of the wait. Today the knee is much better and I am only taking one pain pill every five or six hours.
Nancy,
We are getting more than our fair share of grapes, peaches, apples, and pears. We have friends and family who have one or the other of the above list so it's not unusual for me to have a bushel of something to worry with. My daughter brought us a little over two bushels of nice Granny Smith's and a bushel of Mcintosh apples. I am apple buttered out and hopefully, after tomorrow, will have all the apples canned. I run a 14 quarts through the canner and rest then do more. I do love apple butter and absolutely love pear butter. I am looking so forward to the pecans and walnuts falling out of the trees. We have pecans on our property where my daughter lives and my sister has hickory and walnuts, so I usually get enough nuts to freeze for the year. DH and I sit and watch TV while cracking and picking out nuts...This year, he is going to make some walnut stain so he can stain the new cabinets that will be going in the house we are buying. I am not real sure that I want walnut but he knows about painting and staining and he swears it won't be too dark. I am making wine too. I've made wine in the past but this year I am really putting a great effort into it because, well, I'm retired. LOL.
This week, I'm also going to can some potatoes and carrots: my daughter's potatoes and carrots made like crazy and while I like the idea of putting a bunch in the cellar, I still want to can some too. This being retired is nice...it would be better if the knee wasn't such a pain in my butt. Today, it's feeling better and I am going to do exactly what the doctor said...no climbing stairs, no running or jumping, no bending...but canning, yep, I can do the canning.
B: 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs; 1/2 biscuit with a little gravy
L: Potato Soup
D: Catfish, beans, and green tomato relish
Ladies, rest up....winter's a coming.
Hi Nancy,
Glad you are feeling better pain wise. Rest as much as you need.
I feel better today. Last day of my antibiotic. I think Im having a little reaction to it. I feel a little itchy but no rash.
B egg whites ham and cheese omelet and string cheese
L chicken salad and baby carrots
D steak and half of a sweet potato
S greek yogurt, turkey sausage snack sticks, and apple
Have a good day
Ouch.. Sorry to hear you are in pain... Hugs..

"Failure is not falling down, It is not getting up once you fell... So pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again...."
Goodness, this place has really slowed down...sounds like some of us are struggling. I finally got thru the long pain phase and feel a lot better now...catching up on sleep but not being very productive, I'm afraid. I have no hunger at all but I do try to eat some protein every few hours. I have some "PURE" whey protein that has no taste, so I add that to my fruit protein drink but I have to say that the texture is a real turnoff for me...that is why i have always stuck with MATRIX.5 hot chocolate protein powder..not that easy to find except at mybariatricpantry. They don't ship to Canada so I cannot order it and have to wait til Derek can do that for me..they will not accept MY credit card because it does not match HIS mailing address. It's a real pain.
We had tornado warnings here all day...quite unusual for us but all of the CLIMATE CHANGE that many refuse to accept is really making a difference here for us. The thunderstorms were more bark than bite, thank goodness...poor LilyRose was terrified and hid under our bed..The Boo simply doesn't care...lolol.
It's HARVEST TIME here for grapes (we live in WINE COUNTRY) and PEACHES. Soon pears and apples will be ready. I can live on fruit. I do have several containers of chicken broth and beef broth for a quick protein fix...sometimes I cook an egg or grab a piece of cheese...never would I have ever thought that lack of hunger would be a problem for me.
Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: Italian Wedding Soup (chicken broth with spinach, tiny meatballs and a bit of mini pasta shells)
Dinner: chicken patty on a 1/2 toasted bun & a few slices of cucumber
Bedtime Snack: cup of Green Jasmine Tea with flowers and a piece of dark chocolate & almonds
Hi Yvonne,
I am getting on late today. I spent the day in a drug induced stupor. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do until they do something about my knee. I guess the joint keeps filling back up with fluid and the pressure is killing me. I called my surgeon's answering service and when the doc on call called me back, I had already taken my limit of pain medication. DH worked today so when he got off work, he took me to the ER and the on call doc got there pretty quickly and he did an xray because he was convinced it was broken in spite me saying, it's fluid....don't move it around.....ouch! stop....ouch...so after the X-ray, he came in with a big ass needle, deaden the skin, punctured the joint and pulled out two syringes full of bloody looking crap....he filled the joint with steroids and a deadener to stop the pain and we stayed in the ER for an hour and he did another X-ray so that he could make sure the fluid wasn't filling up the joint again and it wasn't....he did tell me that I need that knee replacement sooner than later and I said, we're working on getting my blood healthy...he said, if you are unable to get the blood levels up, we can give you blood....lots of blood....So, that's my day today.
B: I was in too much pain to eat so I ate a bite of bread so the pain meds wouldn't make me nauseous.
L: Tomato soup
D: potato soup
Snack: crackers and butter
I hate pain....
Hope you ladies are having a good day.
