Good morning! After weeks of little to no exercising, I was finally able to complete a step work-out. A good sore this morning and I intend to keep it up. Lisa, it is a great work-out for me. I challenge myself with 2 risers for more intensity and can even add weights to the routine. Now, the hard part, food portions. Off to work today and then 2 days off......Coffee with sugar in the raw and soymilk......happy Friday everyone! Jeannie
Good morning Jeannie, Izzy, Rath, Judi, Diana, Lisa, and any visitor.
Don't wish Mr. VA's three days off away. We may go see the babies tomorrow. We still have their Christmas presents and Saturday the oldest one will be three years old, so that means another present or two. She just had some more medical tests and definitely has Crohn's disease. Poor little thing. That explains so much about her not wanting to eat.

Oh NCN poor baby-Mr. L is going thru that and it's not pleasant.
Good morning everyone. I am doing well on my "healthier" eating. No real cravings so far so that is good. It has been 6 days. I will get on the scale on Monday. Monday I will also start exercising.
Steve- I so miss a good bagel. I am originally from NY and now I am in rural TN in the mountains. I love it here but we are sorely lacking in good food choices. No donut stores here either. So maybe in some cases it's a good thing.
My usual 1/2 cup Fiber One, skim milk, and peaches with cinnamon
Lunch will be some kind of big salad. I knew I was going to try to eat better so I went overboard shopping last week. Now I have tons of veggies that I need to use before anything goes bad.
Okay... I figured after over 2 years it would be polite for me to finally post a pic for those curious (I'm not fishing for anything... I just know I get curious about who I talk to sometimes). It's in the "Others Topics" thread of the General Forums.
The Shrimp Creole sounds great, YL! Not a fan of brown rice, so I might switch it for some jasmine, but you got my taste for it going now!!!
NCN - I'm sorry to hear about the baby. I have to look it up to see what Crohn's is... but I never wish anything bad on anyone!
Steve, it is just that she is so young to have to deal with such a thing. She has just always been so pale and listless. I doubt she has felt good most of her life. I am just glad they found out what the problem is. She has had two medical procedures done already at Duke. Raleigh has good medical care. They were checking to see why a 2 year old was not gaining weight. She had a lot of skin rashes too. She looks so much better now. She is such a smart little thing that she almost acts like a grownup. We are laughing at my son and his wife trying to adjust to the new baby that is wide open. They have had this perfect little girl and then, "Wham!" Remember the new one came a month early. When this one gets healthy too, I am not sure they will be able to handle two live ones. My son and his wife both graduated in the top of their classes and seeing them deal with something that is not mental is so much fun.
Lisa, East Tennessee covers a lot of territory. My niece lives below Knoxville and I was born in Wilkes County, North Carolina just across the border there. I love Elizabethton area, or could it be Maryville, etc. We go to a timeshare near Pigeon Forge. Any of these places close to you?
Could it be that I have never had a good bagel because for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would want to eat one. One was enough for me. I felt like I was trying to eat leather. LOL
I was glad to get back to 'normal' schedule this week. Very cold here with some snow storms--ah January, my most unfavorite month! The most healthy thing I've been doing is getting on the treadmill for some walking since its too cold to go outside much.
