Wednesday!!!!!





                           Good news, some bad news.  LOL  I hate when people say
                that.  But here I am saying it.

                Good news -- Aunt Betty came through the by-pass surgery
                fine.  Last I heard she was still in recovery.  She is to be
                in ICU for 2 days and then a regular room for 2 or 3 days,
                then home.  Hard to believe you can have such major surgery
                and be home within a week.

                Bad news -- went to my doctor today.  I've gained weight.
                And she really let me have it.  I really didn't like her
                attitude about it.  And she brought up the possiblity of me
                becoming a diabetic.  She ain't telling me nothing I don't
                already know.  But she isn't helping me find solutions that
                will work for me.  She isn't taking into consideration that
                some of the meds Dr R has me on causes weight gain.
                I guess part of it is I just don't like this doctor.  I want
                my old one back.  (he left the practice to work strickly
                at the hospital)

                Sadie is acting like she is cold a lot lately.  I am thinking
                of taking her to the vet tomorrow.  She needs a check up.
                Sophie needs a nail trim, but I have tried taking them both
                at the same time once and trust me that is something I will
                NEVER do again!

                I have add a couple more links to my "What to do" journal.
                You may want to try the newest game.  tangram game I
                stink at it.  Maybe you will have better luck.

I'm so happy your aunt is doing well. <sigh of relief>
As for the weight issue, I think most of us struggle with that one. I was able to lose 15 pounds (took me four months) by only eating 1200 calories a day but that's too low for most people but I'm not active and didn't exercise, so I knew I had to eat a lot less. You shouldn't go under 1500 a day. Funny thing, giving up junk, I actually ate more than ever.
I have a website that counts your calories for you if you'd like it. It's the same way WW works (which is also based on the government's food pyramid) but instead of points it's calories. It's a government website. I could afford to lose another five or 10 pounds but my doctor said I'm fine the way I am and that's good enough for me.

Decided to put the website in......below:
