The quilting group would be a fun activity Connie

After doing my chores, I am off to the pharmacy to get my med refilled.
It is too cold to walk today so I will play with Penny inside when I get back, and hop on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
Yesterday I blew my diet ; my 'treats' the night before with dinner out set off cravings and I caved
But today is another day.... and through the grace of God, my weight was still down
BBL God bless

Thanks Gail,

Thanks Gail, I have felt bad for so long, I don't know what normal would be anymore...it is harder this winter for some reason...but, I am here and not really depressed, just always dealing with a lot of fatigue and other issues with being 66.

Shirley, Sorry it's hard for you this winter...

To the both of you.. I'm battling the weight thing lately myself...

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Yeah, the metabolism slows down as we age (for most of us), then if you have other health issues to keep you from exercising, it can be tough to manage (but can be done)

 

[angelwind]

You are doing fairly well then, considering....and you are still 65 ...is there a birthday coming soon?

I am doing fairly well...yes, and I know it...also know the body is suffering. yes, My BD is this Thursday...ground hog's day. Wow!, I told you that, and the forum...I was always ashamed of ground hog's day...it just doesn't matter anymore. LOL

I was anorexic once...lost a great deal of weight and almost had a nervous breakdown...that was around age 36-40. It took a long time to recover, I do think the starving broke my health down and stirred up RA...I love eating now...at least the things I "can" eat. I still am vain enough to watch my weight, plus, I just feel worse if I get to heavy.

I was crying out for healing today too...I have a friend in town who is using the pump...so is my brother. He has always kept his weight down, but the diabetes just eats at him anyway, a horrible disease for sure. My other friend is suffering from nerve damage and complications from meds...her story is horrific.

Lord have mercy, do what only You can do and bring reall healing and lasting deliverance from these conditions.

That is something to be very thankful for...my little friend is almost crippled with nerve damage, she is in mega pain all the time.

I also have been able to keep fairly active until this last year. That is longer than many people have in this life.

I wonder, if my american family and friends can substantiate, whether or not
Monsanto truly has, such a big SITTING in US Federal Government
as this image suggests ?

I have no idea Dave...but our government is beyond corrupt these days.

We have decided to drive to Eric's on Friday...we will return on Monday...we will be watching the superbowl together on Sunday and we will see Grant play basketball Saturday afternoon. If I get too tired, I will cut out things to do and rest.

I haven't researched the people so I don't know who they are, but I do know that Monsanto gets what it wants... If it wants something covered up, it's done. They do a lot of experimentation with food, crops, fertilizers, ..... And as science goes sometimes they do harm to people, livestock and contaminate us with things that are supposed to be making life better.

IF MONSANTO WANTS SOMETHING TO BE COVERED UP, IT GETS COVERED UP...
When in college I researched HGH (a growth hormone given to cows) for a science project, I know they (Monsanto) gave me a run for my money when I was doing my research... They made it very hard to get credible sources against it's use even though my research eventually found substantial risk..

 

[birdie29]

Monsanto is a major employer in my area... Jobs there are hard to get but I don't remember them ever having layoffs during difficult financial times... they seem to do okay no-matter what the economy..

It would be interesting to do a paper on Monsanto's relationship to mad cow disease. So far we blame every country but our own... now I'm wondering who's idea it ultimately was to feed cow's ground up cow remains. ????
They do send their research to other countries....
