Hi, Dawn….new picture fooled me. Looks like things really looking up for you and I can imagine how hard you work. I got my first Miranda DR 1.9 back in 1965….you probably never even heard of the company let alone the camera…..focal plane shutter and 35mm film with a semi automatic stop down lens. Anyway, took a look at your gallery…………really nice work! Rough business to be in nowadays with digital and photo shop. Subject matter and composition is the name of the game nowadays.

Sorry, folks, it has nothing to do with food but don’t get me started on photography.

I’ll just wish you the best of luck, Dawn. I don’t do Facebook.

Thanks, Judie, for the idea. If you ever see it, give Aspen Valley 21 Whole Grain bread a try. I got it a COSTCO. Ossie gave it an OK and it is really tasty and not dry at all….at least that is what I have found.

Hi everyone – I’ve been sick with horrible chest infection for a few weeks but have checked up on posts. I’ve put a bit of weight back on – think it was more to do with lying in bed than poor eating but I did have a bit of comfort food as well. I’m slowly getting over it but feeling pretty exhausted – any ideas on how to pep myself up?

Hi All, or should I say Ciao tutti….come va?
CHAI, like the sound of your roast veg soup, I tend to just throw whatever I have at hand in the soup pot which give me various different soups and roasted veg is something I regularly throw in when left over from a roast day although never tried adding garlic and mushroom so will give it a try next time I make soup, however we’re into our warm spring so tomato on toast and salads are becoming my favourite just now so could be a while till I make soup again.
KATIE, must say ‘Crikey’ isn’t a bad word for me, it is used in substitute to swearing, I remember my dad using it all the time for example, ‘Crikey, I left the house keys at work’ etc. I still use it on occasion. Also praying your are ok in the aftermath of the Boston bombing, things like that can shake us up especially when you’ve have experience life change events that leave families traumatised. It good news that you have impressed the Dr with your ‘numbers’, keep up the great work. Sei molto brava…a new saying my wee one is using when we get one of her question right!!!
APENSA, lol, glad you manage to finish the SWG bread, after your post I do believe if I ever find it here I will give it a miss, but the big question is would you buy another SWG loaf to see what it’s like toasted like suggest? I’m still enjoying my ‘Cento Anni Panini’ very nice 100% whole grain rolls, lovely with tuna and tomatoes although I do miss the prascutto crudo on my rolls. Well done on keeping everyone motivated, hope your still enjoying your morning walks.
JCDKEMP….PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP, give Ossie your stats as recommended in her post, maybe you just need to cut out or down on your evening carbs, to even out personnal plan, please don’t give up after a few weeks, I’m sure your feel the benefits of this plan soon, like we all have one way or another, this is all about a healthier eating lifestyle not starving yourself to lose weigh type of diet, because I can safely say that type of dieting just leads to gain weight after you stop the diet.
TANDY, good luck on your personal plan, let us know how your getting on and if your need info just get posting so many people on here to help.
INASTRVL, how you getting on?
DAWNROSIE, great to see you on again, and to get an update, so good to hear things are going well after the move, glad that stress is over and that your trimmer. Love your art work, got to ask did the last girl in the Macmillian album laugh because she didn’t have to wear a green wig or because everyone else did?
SLIMASHARON, good to hear your on the mend and to see you on here again, all I can think is use 1\2 banana for your fruit portion in the morning to bust your energy and oranges or kiwi for your afternoon fruit to get more vitaim c, oh and take it easy, build up one day at at time, don’t start running about doing everything at full speed, that will come soon enough. Good luck
RADISSON, are your still sunshine walking in Florida or back on the treadmill at home? not sure if the month has passed but it sure feel like a long time since you’ve been on.
BEV, how are you getting on, hope the decorating is finished and you had the boys this weekend,as I know you enjoy your time with them. Well all the visitors are gone, and although it was wonderful to see family and hubbys family it’s not been so good on the waistline, so think the plan for a much slimmer me for the summer is ‘out the window’ so to speak but I’m back eating sensible and to the plan again today so hopefully will get the few kilos gain back down again, good thing about italy is most the food here is good for you, bad thing about italy is they make the food so delicious you always want more. So portion size is a big note on the agenda now. Sad to say my dog walking days are over, as she found a new home (which is good, and even better that the couple in the bottom floor appartment in my block took her so I get to see her) although the new owners did say I could still wlak her, I have found after asking a few time I have been told the dogs just been out or just going with them so I have to take a step back and remember it was only temporary until the poor dog found a loving home so my part done, So its back to skipping in the garage, or walking in the morning and with the nicer weather I can get the bike back out (that tomorrows plan). Well sorry it been such a long post but don’t get time to get on much now (helps keep headaches at bay) but I do read all your post so by the time I do get on, I have loads to say!!!! as always 🙂 ciao tutti, until the next time

Paula…peddles…By the way..I’m really glad that you survived that ordeal. I know it must have been rough I’d trade you your youth in a yankee minute but not the stress of being a working individual in todays environment. Hang in there, kid. and keep taking those “Good Lookin’ Pills”.

Hi every one Suzy 1954 hear.Im still new at this program. I’ve been having so much fun with my grandson hear in Calgary . The awful thing was I got up , looked outside and theres snow all over the ground. It will be nice to go back home to Creston to see the green suff again. Sorry that I haven’t been around. I have been keeping track with you all. I like to hear what you have to say about the program and your feed back on the healthy suff. I’m still at a standstill with my weight. I guess It will take.some time to louse my weight. Hope to talk to every soon . Have a good day every one.
