Hello everyone,

We are doing much better this direction. Ds1 is back in school. Ds2 is back to homeschooling with me. Dh didn't get sick at all, thank the Lord.

Today, Ds2 and I went to see Millie - the millipede. Only his name isn't Millie; it is "Leggy". Anyway, Leggy was very interesting but didn't feel like uncurling for us to watch him crawl. He just sat curled up in a little ball. When we turned him over, his little feet twitched in air.

Congratulations to Muffie on the weight loss. Good job. :up:

And congratulations to everyone else for plugging away in the day to day grind of "Healthier Living". That's what it's all about anyway. Sometimes we'll see weight loss, other times we will experience weight shifting from muscle building. And in still other times some of us will experience improved sleep, less fatigue, and a greater tolerance for frustration. All of these are benefits from Healthier Living. Sooo, I applaud everyone for staying the course in their own way. Changing bad habits and maintaining good habits can be challenging. :yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

Hugs to everyone.

Gentle

You're welcome jls! Please share how and what you're doing to stay healthy and how it's working for you.

Right now I'm in vacation mode, so not much to share as I'm lazy and enjoying good food.

Well, I've been sick three days with an evil GI thing. :no:

So, rice pudding is my best friend. :D

Enjoy yourself Tweety - I'm jealous.

Thanks Steph. Sometimes you can loose some good weight by being sick.

Just kidding. Hope you get well soon.

I'm trying hard to totally avoid saturated fats and eat Mediterranian. Another biggie is not to substitute sweets for the beer and wine. I really have developed the habit of avoiding all the sweets at work. I want to improve on sweets.

I wish the nursing workplace was more health oriented. Many of my co-workers sip pop all day, and snack on junk, unfortunately.
