...for me it was my 30's and the time just before my accident 3yrs agoI LOVE good food!
..and that's been the hardest part for me....I used to be able to eat anything and not chunk out ....I put on 30#s in no time ...Now I have to choose my calories wisely as I'm alot less active..........god I miss those days *sigh*
It's all about the activity. I haven't gotten chunky yet, knock on wood. BUT... there's a whole lot less I can eat now that I'm not running around working a 12 hour shift on my feet 95% of the time. I LOVE food too. We just got a new Planet Fitness here, $10.00 a month- unlimited use of the gym and I'm seriously thinking of joining just so I can eat more food.

hehe I know! The air is all fresh and clean up here, no industrial haze to protect me from the evil sun so I don't really go outside anymore
What with Turkey Day and all of Mom's YUMMY Christmas cookies just around the corner...I hear ya there !!
I still have some physical issues goin that I may be stuck with ...so I've been gradually trying out more things that don't involve alot of bouncing, twisting ,lifting,or strain on my lower back and neck
...My Physical therapist's exercises and stretches have been amazing for keeping me limber and strong. Hands down, walking ...and water exercise ..top my list of fav low impact activity. AND I've lost 5 pounds since last month!!
Let me know how you like your membership!
When I was in my late teens I could burn calories just sitting there. Hanging out with friends, I could eat 16 White Castles for lunch and still only weighed about 135 with a 28 inch waist. By my early to mid 20's went up to a 32 inch waist and 150 (this was my ROTC days). Now I'm a 35 inch waist and my weight is up to 190. What has hurt me has been telecommuting. Without having to leave the house to work, it's just so easy to plop my .... in the chair in front of the computer and snack all day long instead of eating balanced and actual meals.

Do I hear you there!! I really had to change my habits (they say that takes a good 21 days, so be patient and kind to yourself
) When I get nervous or stressed , frustrated ..you name it...I start craving sweets...cookies. pastries...CHOCOLATE!
That's how I effortlessly put on the extra 30#s
You've prob heard about the "toss out all your junk food" approach..
But that's pretty much what I had to do...(luckily the neighbor's teenagers are bottomless pits so it didn't go to waste!
)Instead, I kept a constant supply of munchy crunchy veggies and rice cakes and lots of different fruit around the house.
But it had to be "Hand-to-mouth READY" ..if I had to peel it or scrape it ..forget it....I needed it NOW!
It costs more for the already cut and peeled fruit and veggies...but if you are anything like me and need something NOW ...pre-cut and peeld is the way to go. I would still get really bad cravings for sweets sometimes....When I started vaping all the fruity and sweet flavs really helped the craving and it gave me somethin to do with my hands ...besides smoke..and eat..know what I mean?
When I DO break down and buy a box of Oreos...I have enuf will power to bust them into little baggies of 3's and stash or freeze the rest. And yes, I could eat a whole box by myself in one sitting without even giving it a thought before.That's really cool that you get to work from home!
..Besides not havin to work at all (retire well) ..working from home would be my Dream Job! But I hear it takes alot of self-discipline...you're on your own..but with deadlines and commitments.
Time I got something else done today! Nice chatting with everyone! Hope y'all have a pleasant day!
No, you definitely don't need to be beating yourself up at a gym but water exercise is really good activity as is walking. What about cycling? That's about the only thing I do actively anymore (well beside the chores around here), but winter is coming... all that good food.... all those pounds and I prob won't be out on the bike as much as I'll need to.What with Turkey Day and all of Mom's YUMMY Christmas cookies just around the corner...I hear ya there !!

It cut out two hours of driving time to and from work......so that time can be used to do more work. Ahhh....the joys of being salaried. It just makes it way too easy for me to just sit at my desk and keep working, so I definitely put in way more hours than if I were working from the office. It originally started a couple of years ago of working from home one day a week, then went to working three days a week. Finally last year I started just going into the office one day a week and then they took my cubicle away so they could put someone in there who was working in the office every day.Do I hear you there!!

I got ya beat there, I actually fell asleep during a root canal, the dentist had to keep waking me up to tell me to open wider. And nothing but local anesthetic what used,gas not allowed
Im afraid of.the sun....no really I have fair skin and it scares me, I burn sssooooo easy.
I have many fond memories of turkey day when I was.younger at my nanas house.....and the food comas that ensued following.....mmmmmmmmmmWhat with Turkey Day and all of Mom's YUMMY Christmas cookies just around the corner...I hear ya there !!

Yes katzwhiskers, I to am of German decent...the difference is mine came over a long time before yours were able to. People always assume pa dutch means...well dutch. But in actuality its pa Deutsche
I know different dentists do it different ways ...I've had many root canals done and some are bad and others not so bad ...this time I had to go to a specialists to see if they could open up the root...luckily they found it but lots of digging around ...antibiotics only take 2 days to kick in and will clean up any infection left in the tooth and also the pain. I had 2 doses of them before they even did anything....anyway ..I wish I was you and didn't hurt..lol! Getting 2 done in one day I would say your dentist was mighty good!! Lol today was the first time they gave me sun glasses to wear during the procedure..that was funny but they should have been made of gold for $800.00 and I still need a cap - do you have any idea how many mods and tanks I could have bought with 800 buckaroos..lol
and what is your favorite pa Dutch meal?? I know a lot of it is with homemade noodles but it's been a long while since I had any?
Oh lord I cant even begin to name.them, I love so many. But if I had to choose I would have to go with the new years meal...pork loin and kraut
Wow ...they wouldn't have even known I was asleep with my sunglasses on..lol. I am too nervous to fall asleep but I could picture hubby doing that ...he falls asleep anytime and anywhere...I wish I could
