Joe

o.k.
so i was feeling fat

and ... look what happens

i am such a doorknob sometimes

found this nifty toolish site online.

as we all know, the basic thing to weightloss is calories burned...

this is great: All kinds of calculators & such

It's 80degF here and I'm about to head out for a lunchtime jog. Sweat city. 165 this morning which wasn't bad after a weekend of too much fun food.

it's supposed to climb to 90!! i can't get out as much as i'd like (aiming for tomorrow morning bikeride, with a tube patch kit and a pump for a change), so am on a diet binge - 2 weddings in 2 weeks... good motivation...4 pounds down. what a great day it is today!

I'm just back from the Orthopedic Surgeon. My fracture is healing! The doctor's educated guess was 1/3 healing in six weeks.

In the past I've achieved 1/3 healing in six months!

Injecting Miacalcin every morning is working!

Crutches are still indicated, but I can do exercises, ride the stationary bicycle, and have a REAL bath in the bathtub. Kneeling is okay, so no more unweeded gardens.

I'm quite gleeful.

Happy to hear of your progess. It's amazing how much you take for granted till you can't do it any more. (Tho in my case I'd push an excuse for not weeding as long as I could.)

Weather.com said it was 80. Felt closer to 90. I was moving like a slug out there, but I got 5 miles in. Now if I can just keep awake this afternoon.

Hey, Dag, what kind of bike you riding?

Thanks, George.

The first time the Family Curse struck, I was in a cast for 13 months and had to have my knee surgically bent--the fluid in the kneecap had jelled.

Since then I've spent a lot of time in disaster muttering, "At least you can bend your knee." I'm going to be the only old biddy in the nursing home sitting cross-legged in front of the boob tube--just because my knee will bend.

Noddy

Sounding goooood!

Hold your dominion!

Hooray for Noddy!

Good dominion-holding there.

Joe

yay, that must trully feel gleefull. the boob tube sounds terrible, although my allien mind cannot quite picture what it is - silly images only.
george, i have a univega, late 80s model, revamped by my surgeon/ex-bike mechanic half. very sweet ride. salmon pink too. hot wheels. tomorrow morning! doing good all day, though after my students stayed AN HOUR after the class with questions, i had to have a fish an chips in the nearest pub - i was so hungry i could eat the gardenias in front of the classrooms. still, pretty cool that they stayed that long, not grumbling one bit.

Last night heard the siren call of Edy's ice cream from the freezer. Alas, no faithful crew to bind me to the mast. I succumbed to a not-too-big helping.

The gods were merciful. Down a pound this AM. Will make a libation of sweat at lunchtime in thanksgiving.

Margo, eBeth, Joe, dagmarka--many thanks. I celebrated last night and the scales/fates/facts of life were not kind. Back on the wagon!

Boob tube? The television set--50's slang, I suppose. Do television sets have tubes these days?

I've been away too long. Some of you may recall that I had a problem a few months ago, that means I can not sit easily so no biking for me for the last 3 months. I saw the doc a week or so ago and have to have an operation in the next 2/3 months. Managed a swim in the sea this week , which was invigorating-another word for freezing cold !

Trying to keep the weight from creeping back on-currently 190 lbs so have put on 5 lbs by my reckoning of the 45 lbs I lost, most of that was due to the pizza and wine I had last night though so not too bad.

Noddy, Dags, Joe, George, Margo, Ehbeth, Gautam-where are you ?, all keep holding your dominion, mine's here somewhere I can feel it

Joe reports in:

new low this morning

221.2.

Makes him a little high.

Hovering at 163. My new GPS toy provides me with encouragement to get out on the road.

Glad to see you back, Hiama. Swimming? Good luck with the operation.

Joe, way to go!

Hiama--

Easy come, easy go. The body while attached to Recent Fat is not as passionately fond of Recent Fat as Heirloom Fat.

George, Joe--

Congratulations!

Off to the trusty exercycle.

Ta dum

Seaglass has reached her goal for losing weight for her class renunion in Fort Worth.

of course I have to share my outfit for the cocktail party.

Long rayon/chiffon skirt with large calla lillies in rich colors of orange, yellow, green - with sequins scattered randomly - green sleeveless top in an avocado shade.

With amber jewlery from latvia - gifts from Merry Andrew and his family over the years.

merry Andrew is wearing polished boots, neatly pressed levis, western shirt and a blue blazer and a straw Stetson.

Now I must go finish mowing my lawn for the last time before I get on the big bird for the mainland.

Aloha,

Sglass
