I have been sick with intestinal problems for nearly a week now. It started off with a virus, but I do have an on-going problem (collagenous colitis) that rears it's ugly head from time to time. Nothing stays in my gut very long and I spend alot of time in the bathroom. My logs will be RED,RED,RED because I can eat very little because eating causes much discomfort and more trips to the bathroom. The only upside to this is that I ... |

Boy, was I wrong. This stuff is YUMMY! It's goin' on the Thanksgiving menu for sure! Thanks, Gouldthorp! ... |

I says that I have not logged in the 67 days that I have been a member. I have logged every day except for 3 or so when I was out of town.

 I just got back from a wonderful long weekend with our youngest daughter and her family. We had such fun driving through the countryside enjoying the autumn colors and foods and the Cincinatti zoo. Great company, good food; but OH THE SODIUM, FAT, AND LACK OF FIBER!!!! Sorry team mates! But now I understand those of you who have to eat out often and struggle to stay green! At least the calorie part looks decent! ... |

The first time in days that I have done this. I have been really busy today trying to get done with scraping the wall paper from the bathroom so I can paint. It's coming off in 1/2 inch strips and I guess I just didn't pay enough attention to what I was eating. Sorry team mates! I WILL do better tomorrow, I promise!!! ... |

1. Acai....Does anyone use it as a dietary supplement? I started taking Acai 1000 mg soft gels from Puritans Pride several weeks ago as this supplement is full of antioxidents and is also supposed to reduce food cravings. So far I certainly have not seen a huge decrease in my weight, but I seem to feel peppier and have less intense hunger.
2. Aspartame... I use this artificial sweetner to sweeten things on occasion. I understand that artificial sweetners of any kind are ... |

And today I got this crazy idea that if I put it on when I got up in the morning and wore it all day, it should give me a reading of the calories I actually burn if I have it set up correctly. Would that be the case or am I missing something here????? ... |
continue reading 7 comments September 12, 2009, 9:38 am 9 days down and forever to go! | I am pretty new to this site, but I am so excited about all the great tools and the support that folks give each other on their journies to a healthier life. I am nursing an injured knee right now that has kept me from exercising for about 3 months now. It still hurts, but is getting better. I have started back on the elipical this week and am starting very slowly with that. Also I am doing an arm bike???? for more aerobics and weight machines for upper body. I would like to lose at least 20 lbs, but ... |
continue reading 5 comments September 1, 2009, 5:02 pm Day 2 | Day 2 of keeping track of all that I eat and how much effort I put forth in exercise. So far I am not on track to lose the pound a week that I wanted. Man, its hard to cut back that much. More exercise is probably the answer. Hope that bum right knee of mine will allow that. ... |
