WE went to my friends house for St. Patty's day dinner.
I ate desert. a big piece of cho french silk pie. Ate corned beef and cabbage and mashed potatoes and bread so ate a lot of starches tonight, NOT ON MY DIET! I have been doing really well and forgot that I was not eating sugar for lent. OPPS! Honestly I forgot! 12 days of sugar free at least. And I am still AF which is the most important aspect of this lent period. WEll actually I am doing Belles 100 day challenge again. So am about 10% of my goal. I have been chewing a lot of gum lately and it is very satisfying and keeps my mouth busy. I was proud of myself saturday night. By myself I went to a fabulous concert, Mahler's resurrection...awesome piece. 2 orchestras and two choirs. very powerful!!!! after the concert I went home and lamented...the computer was down.Jeff was working a gig... What to do???? So I called my friend to congratulate her, she plays cello. She said they were over at the bar down the street, Brewski's. So I said I would join them. There was a group of 8 of us. 7 musicians and me. They all ate and drank...I drank water and did not eat, There the bar food is all fried foods and starch. My cello playing friend has a trumpet playing husband who was there also. He too gave up alcohol for lent so I hugged him good by and said stay strong. He chuckled. These people are all very nice. I went home and hubby came home shortly there after. Sunday, we raked leaves 9 bags and containers full! Our live oak tree did some serious shedding. I did some paper work and billing. Today I am sore from raking. My hands are not too blistered up, (I refuse to wear gloves). So the day is almost over 10 pm and I am calling it day 13 down. Will not weigh myself for a couple of days one day can't break a diet right? I did not get pinched today even though I did not wear green, I forgot today. Anyway it was a great day and even though I was offered a guiness I politely declined. It was nice to visit with my friend and talk with her newish boy friend. So I had a happy st. patricks day with out alcohol! yeah! bizi I think I am down to 148 again!scrubs are fitting a little looser.

Home again, and I missed all of you and NT. Lost 12 pounds walking all over on my vacation. Stopped all red meat, ate no sweets, no dairy. Am back on track and down to a better weight. Keep up your good work with the diet. Walk more it works. ginnie

Yes, you bet I will. I did experience a better way of eating on vacation. The lack of sweet stuff, plus all the walking, dropped the pounds off. I am blessed that without surgery, my ankle has healed after more than 7 years of pain. My son got me into some heavy physical PT on it. Had no trouble walking a long time up and down the cliffs of Negril. My all over pain, dropped a lot. Not sure why this occurred. I think our pace of life in America is much too much. Slow it down, relax, get good food and plenty of fresh air, and pain goes down. The neuro pain also diminishes. When the mind is at peace, the body heals. This is what I am learning.
Glad to be back Mari. I did miss NT, but nothing else of my life here. Didn't miss the rat race most of us have in our lives. Take time each day to breathe deeply and to relax in the quiet someplace. Anxiety goes down too. I hope you have been OK Mari. Are you feeling better? I did pray each and every day for the people I have met on NT. I told many Rasta, about NT, and what we do here on line to help others. We do have a community here that is precious. Have a good day Mari. Will be back around the boards soon. xxginnie |

congratulations on your weight loss ginnie and I am so happy for your decrease in pain. Wonderful news about your ankle.
you sound so happy about your trip. I am happy for you! my weight is up again because I have been drinking alcohol and eating poorly because of that fact. I must quit and not be so out of control. bizi

Thanks Bizi. Keep up eating good and drinking less. Where I was, was living hand to mouth, where you had to walk a good distance up and down the roads which are on a cliff in order to eat anything at all. I did this for each meal, or when I wanted a fruit snack. No dairy down there, or sweets unless you go to the hi-low store. I did the natural stuff, gave up red meat for good and all sweets. My legs that first week...thought I would die from the ache. I called what I was doing Goat training, goats are sure footed and agile. Buy the last week I walked up and down these stairs which are huge and uneven quite well with no stopping to catch my breath. I did some real hard training!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sick of being in pain and out of shape. Both are being corrected in every way possible. I dumped 4 medications down there too! My hands still ache, and my neck will never be good, but all and all a great deal better than what I was. Neuropathy in my ankles seems to have gotten a bit better too. Get outside and walk Bizi, and do it often instead of the PC or TV in the evening. Americans live in their homes closed up a lot. In Jamaica, the people live and play outside most of the time, always very very active and so are the kids! No kid even comes in until dinner time. Swimming is every day for most children, again a very active type of life style. few have cars, so for the most part they walk. Americans can learn a few things from them which I did. Keep up training, do the walking and the pounds will fly off you. Eat right, and your body will show it. I wish you all the best Bizi, as I too have struggled with the weight problem most of my life. I want to live longer, and be in better health to do so. I will keep you in my prayers. ginnie |
