Today I'm heading to the hospital to pick up DH who had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor (brain). Everything went well, but SO MUCH STRESS! He found out he had it when he had a CAT scan for an auto accident March 1 in which he bumped his head. Good thing!! The prognosis is good since they...

Jody, I'll miss your clippies. I've enjoyed mine even though I'm not close to ONDERland yet. Nancy

Well, spring is here and I finally am coming out of hibernation. The weather is still damp and rainy, sometimes cold. The scale has not been my friend over the last few months. I am still low carbing, but not to the extent that I did before. That and total lack of exercise led to my demise...

I do so good all day long and, even though I am low carbing, I still feel the need to binge in the evenings. But now I binge on low carb foods like low carb Breyer's ice cream or macadamias. When I realize how many calories I just consumed, I really feel sick. I'm not really hungry...it's...

We're having pasta! I've been low carbing for so long that I really look forward to low carb Dreamfield's Pasta every once in a while. I'm going to cook it, add some ricotta and mozzarella and a little sauce, and bake. I'm going to serve it with a nice salad. We usually just have chicken or...

Did you sell your old clothes? I'm having a garage sale in early spring and was wondering whether or not clothes sell well. I have both dress and sports clothes that are too large. Nancy

It's been a while since I posted. Life's been so hectic with the holidays upon us. I picked up a few pounds (4) over the Thanksgiving holiday but finally lost 2 of it. I'll try for 2 more before Christmas. I seem to do well on the holiday itself, but the surrounding days of...

I got in a nice, long walk on Saturday while the weather was nice. Last evening I had my doctor appt. My blood sugar (from the blood test I had a couple of weeks ago) is borderline diabetic again. It seems to fluctuate quite a bit. The nurse tested my urine and did a finger prick while I...

Well, no bike ride yesterday but this morning DH and I walked a couple of miles in the park. It was so beautiful with the leaves changing colors...oranges, reds, golds. I spend yesterday with DGrandkids and had fun. I did walk some to and from the soccer field, but not what you'd probably...

For me, it's no more achy knees and being able to walk without pain in my thighs. After losing the first 20 pounds, my stamina really improved. Also, realizing I have great will power and control. I feel much more confident in my everyday life. Nancy

I had blood work done last week and the office called to tell me to make an appointment with the doctor. It was a blood sugar test that didn't come out as well as I hoped. It's hard to believe I have trouble in that area since I don't eat sugar or sweets and very little carbs. I guess I'll...

Hi Molly, I'm glad you're joining us here at WISH. There are a lot of different plans out there, and if you read the journals at the top of WISH you can see how we go about getting healthier. As for me, I don't get a lot of exercise but I ride my bike outdoors a few days a week and take...

We put the deposit down on the new house today and signed all the papers. Everything went fine, and we might be able to move in in early summer. What a lot of work ahead with getting a realtor, getting the house in order, and keeping it that way with a lovable but messy DH. We celebrated...

Great job on keeping your weight under control on vacation. It must be all that walking you've been doing. I'm sure that 1 pound will be gone soon. Nancy

Hi Doe, I'm glad to see you had a wonderful vacation with DH. I wish we could get away...life is so busy sometimes. Keep up the good work with your goals and exercise. You are indeed an inspiration. Nancy

Hi MeMe, Thanks for posting. My new development is called the Villas of Flowers Mill at Five Ponds. They are going to be built across from Five Ponds golf course on Street Road between York and Easton (a little past the Kohl's shopping center). The samples are in Newtown right past...

Well, I had another birthday Sunday. DS, DD, spounses and grands came over for a visit. We went to see the samples of the new house that DH and I bought. It won't be ready for about 10 months or so, but it's really exciting. It's an over 55 community...so a lot less work for DH and a lot...

Doreen, Have a wonderful vacation! It sounds great. Have a glass of wine for me while you're there (and a Margarita too if you can handle it). :wave2: :wave2:

I've been taking Synthroid for over 10 years and swithched to the generic when it became available a couple of months ago. I do not feel any different and the pharmacist assures me it's the same. I will be setting up an appointment for bloodwork in the next month or so and will see how the...

I've kept off the weight I lost, so I'm only 2 pounds from ONDERland. I'm not rushing it, but I'd love to do this by Thanksgiving. To some this may hardly seem worth it, but to me it is a big achievement because of my hypothyroidism. We did get the new house we wanted. We go to sign the...
