As I mentioned yesterday - before nurse Rachet made me go to bed last night - I got to go to the mountains over the weekend -- not once, but twice. Nurse Marshmellow - young and easily led astray
- was on duty this weekend. Drove the entire Cherohala SkyWay on Saturday
Cherohala Skyway pics and went to Tremont in the Smokey Mtns yesterday -- snow in both places. Walked (slowly and carefully) up the river trail for about a mile. Just what the doctor ordered
- well maybe not
, but sure was good for my spirits.
Ellie's talk of outdoor decorations almost sent me to photoshop... as did the thought of putting our high-maintenance BW in a french maid outfit with a firey feather duster... I was too busy -- I just ate a few bites of cottage cheese - and I'm getting some veggie soup in a bit
Wendy:
Guess I'll be joining the ranks of those who run out of cottage cheese soon. My endo says I have to have a minimum of nine 160 cal protein 'mini-meals' with at least 55 gms of carb per day. They won't let me drop below 8 calories per pound of body weight (I'm at 180 right now per doc scales - not surprising I gained given the amount of carbage Nurse Rachet has poured in my tube this week
)
Elaine:
I'm with Ellie - more lean protein instead of fat if needed. Sounds like it may not be needed after all.
Ellie:
Hope you can share some this evening - I've missed you.
Rebecca (OneEye):
Great news re: FarSide -- keep us posted on when and where.
Sounds like you hit a bump or two over the holidays, but are back on track -- that is great. Are you still working out at Curves?
Dreamer:
Glad the idea of just eating clean for today helps - this sort of idea works for tackling all sorts of difficult problem. None of us are perfect - we all make mistakes or choose not to follow our plan sometimes - it is not what you do on a single day that will get you to where you want to be -- it is the fact that you keep moving toward the goal and you get back on the path as soon as you can when you sumble or stray. Progress not Perfection - as Karen's sign. line encourages.
You're giving out some pretty great advice yourself - water, exercise and think before putting something in your mouth.
Bawdy:
Yikes re: power outage -- it's too cold for that sort of thing in ME.
I think the pic of you in the French Maid outfit should be in the Gallery
Lissette - Shelly
Glad you are back on track. Hope you've gotten over the trip.
re: the description of the renigade hunting practices - The independent mountain folks don't take kindly to hunting practices that would endanger other hunters, people living near the woodlands or livestock. they would likely 'take care of' that problem with a bit of mountain justice - there was a tourist/hunter shooting at everything that moved a couple of years ago just outside the Smoky Mountain Park - he actually shot at mother & child walking down their driveway to catch the school bus. They found that hunter beat half to death on the side of a major highway about six miles from where he had been hunting with his deer rifle bent and broken -- nobody up in Hatcher Hollow saw or heard anything out of the ordinary
Kristine:
Hope you will share soon - are you still having connection problems?
Karen:
Know you are reading - poke your head in and say hi or join in the humor. The humor we share has gotten us thru a lot of rough times - both with our WOE and our lives.
