Are you still treadmilling?

I did enjoy DHW last night--I'm looking forward to this season. I particularly liked the "fake out" about Mike. I was surprised. My fav scene was the short one with the two gay neighbors. So cute! Plus, I love Tuc Watkins. :D

I'm right there wif ya on the too much TV :lol:

:lol:

I love the gay neighbor scenes too! Loved Gabby's lines too last night, so phunny!

Yep, I'm still treadmilling away!! I've even been able to go up with the speed and incline quite a bit, so if you just stick with it and work up gradually you will be amazed how your fitness level will improve :D

Don't strain yourself, now.

I'm having a hamburger too, made from ground chicken.

I can't eat beef if you guys remember I had to take out a bunch of foods from my diet after doing an allergy test, beef being one of them <_< , but I have been pleasantly surprised with the outcome of ground chicken in place of the beef. It's not at all dry like ground turkey and very flavorful. Who knew!

I've never had ground chicken! :o I always thought it would be dry like the ground turkey breast.....I'll have to give that a try.

Hi Everyone I am going to pass an idea to you guys- can you all give me your thoughts?

Almost a year ago I got married. The week before I got married, I took my mom and what I called a road trip, we went to shop @ thrift stores in the Vestal NY area. We made a day out of it and it is the best memory we have together. She was so happy. My mom and I are really close and all but she was just ecastic that day. She still talks about it today. It had been such a great time, we did Road Trip #2 in Jan of 08. we went to the Allentown area and once again had a blast.

Shortly after that gas went sky-high. So our road trips have come to a halt and sadly the nonstop visits to my moms have also slowed. The other day she said, I miss taking those trips. I told her in the spring we will go again. So first I had said why dont we go upstate NY. We could go to some stores up in that area. I then said I will take you to Niagra Falls. She quickly says I have never been there. I told her we would stay overnight up there. She told me she would start saving her money now.

So I was thinking, instead of NY, maybe buying an airline ticket and taking her to FL. Her sister lives there and she has never seen where she lives. My mom because of our foster kids, cant travel, which is why as kids we never took vacations. I figure, Southwest has cheap tickets and I will make this her huge Christmas/Mothers Day/Birthday all in one. We would go for a weekend. Fly out on a Friday and come home on a Sunday evening. We would see her sister and then the other day do our shopping, maybe see a lighthouse which she has never been and also go to a beach. Intermingling things we both like to do. My moms sister usually comes to see us and her family in PA for a month eveyr summer- but they didnt make it this year at all. So what I am going to do, is put the trip together now, and then present it to her on her birthday or something. If she doesnt like the whole FL plan, we will just do the Niagra trip. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Yes- my mom is a very young, 63. She had me when she was 37 and when I was in school I didnt like it since she didnt have the same mind of thought that the "younger" moms did. I am so thankful for it. When I got to high school I knew what was not a good idea and such. Plus my mom and I are very close and we get closer everyday. All my sisters are close with my mom. We are so fortunate!

Amanda? No more Chocolatetown USA? Is that about the loss of cocoa butter?

FL w/ mom to see your aunt sounds like a great idea. ;)

Jack & the Snotstalk makes me think the Giant in that story went green for the million greenbacks & started a frozen vegetable company. Heck, I'd be Jolly too.

When do you find out CT results, Em?

Hugs for Bevvy!

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
