Good Morning Everyone
I am up and slurping my coffee and water/protein shake...in one hour I cannot eat or drink anything for 6 hours, oh joy, isn't it lovely to go without water for that long? I can do the no food thing, but water? Sheesh.x( Sigh, oh well, you have to follow the precautions before surgery I suppose.
Hey Shannon, I'll cheer ya up!:7 I have to go get my mouth cut open and and parts of an old tooth crushed and yanked out of my mouth this afternoon!:+ How's that? I'll trade you places and take your cranky calf on, if you take on my mouth issues.
Seriously, sorry you are having one of those blah days. Are you taking glucosamine? I take it now for my own silly knees, and notice it does help with the creakiness. I know, the repetitive thing gets to your joints after awhile, especially if you go really fast. Like I said before, the bike is the only thing I do that doesn't bother my knees or hips, but it gets boring doing that everyday as I am sure Robin can attest to!
Deb, My DH takes protonix for acid reflux, have your DH see if he needs meds to cure his snoring problem. It works really well, my DH used to snore really bad too, but since taking the protonix, it has pretty much resolved itself. I jab him too, if he does start snoring, but its only if he is laying on his back, I just roll him over! I am sorry to hear about your friends loss, that is a terrible blow.
Robin, have fun with your friend, a good cup of coffee and a visit with a friend are two of life's little pleasures.
Shelley! So glad to see your pretty face back here. Sounds like you are feeling better now, good. Your package was sent out Monday, I wanted to "speed ship", but didn't have your phone number, and they will not ship it fast internationally without one. So, hopefully you will receive it very soon.
I am still doing my diet with added carbs when I feel I need them...but after surgery today, I am not sure what I will be able to eat? I will have an open socket thingy (gross) so probably soup or something....protein shakes will work to, I do understand the importance of protein now during this whole drama....really makes your muscles look harder, you feel stronger and I think even my hair is growing faster which is very cool.
Got alot of writing done yesterday....so will not feel guilty resting after the ordeal today. DH ordered "American Gangster" and "Michael Clayton" from Amazon, so maybe I will watch those.
Oh! Remember I told you all about those sugar free, carb free, calorie free products I ordered? They came yesterday. The peanut butter spread tastes like a lab experiment, when I offered a spoonful to George (he loves PB) he practically ran from me!}( It is the most vile thing on earth, I cannot even explain how vile. The jams are okay, the alfredo sauce was actually delicious, I mixed it with ground turkey breast and heated it up, then served it over baby spinach-:9 But the caramel dip and the marshmallow dip? They taste like plastic. So that is my Walden Farms review..BBL to yell a big ole hey to Lainie, Leanne, TK, and the rest of you Melters!
