Ärende: RE: keeping cool
========================
Hola Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> and neither of us want to lose any
-> ->  hn> of the ground we've gained!
-> 
-> -> So split one, the calories shouldn't be that great.  I'm still making
-> -> slow but steady progress.  Eating less and practicing more portion
-> -> control lets be do it without giving up some of the things I really
-> -> like.  We're also eating a lot of green salad; eating it before I dig
-> -> into the rest of my meal helps me eat less of the entree.
-> 
->  hn> We do the same, and a big salad helps
->  hn> with portion control...but we have to remember
->  hn> to have less dressing even if the salad is bigger!
-> 
-> That can be the hard part, the dressing.  I make a psuedo thousand
-> island for myself; Steve likes balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Last
-> night was the first time I used the Greenwise ketchup in my dressing;
-> it's thinner than Hunts or Heinz but doesn't have the HFCS.  I didn't
-> have enough to really taste the ketchup by itself.
-> 
I use Kraft's fat free zesty Italian
very few calories, and few carbs
and tasty enough.

-> 
->  hn> We also have a "Tony Little's Gazelle" exerciser
->  hn> that we use, it folds up and is out of the way
->  hn> when we don't need it and it's no impact so
->  hn> Anne can use it easily.
-> 
-> We've got a Nordic Track treadmill out in the garage.  I can't really
-> use it because of my foot so it needs to find a new home.  I get a lot
-> of my exercise "running" the stairs.
->
As long as you get the exercise who 
cares how you get it!
 
-> -> -> perscription was renewed so what I thought would take maybe 20
->  hn> minutes,
-> -> -> tops, was more like an hour or more.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Welcome to the old adage
-> ->  hn> hurry up and wait!
-> 
-> -> I know; it's the thought that I was just going in for the one thing that
-> -> irked me.  I saw the same PA I'd seen in early September so she wanted
-> -> to follow up on a few issues she'd noted.
-> 
->  hn> At least she's thorough!
-> 
-> Yes, she seems to be.  Can't fuss at me for my weight tho as it's coming
-> down.
->
Anne's is coming down...I'm on a plateau again.
 
-> ->  hn> My Folks bought the house in '65 when
-> ->  hn> we came back from France. Anne and I
-> ->  hn> bought it from them when we got married
-> 
-> -> I see; it's probably like my parent's house.  To redo the kitchen to
-> -> what I'd want would mean taking out at least one of the other rooms,
-> -> maybe two. The house is small enough that I'd want to have an 
extention
-> 
->  hn> Our house was built in the 50's when TV dinners
->  hn> were all the rage and spending time in the
->  hn> kitchen was not...so it's not much of a kitchen
->  hn> to start with. The house design is such that
->  hn> there's not much of an opportunity for expansion
->  hn> unless it's a major revision of the house.
->  hn> Not likely to happen in this economy!
-> 
-> Sounds like the house my parents are in. Dad started building it in
-> spring of 1955; we moved in January, 57 but the last room wasn't
-> finished until about 1970.  It's snug; to do what I'd like to (if I
-> owned the place) would take a major revision as well.  It has made me
-> aware of things to avoid if we ever get to the place where we can buy or
-> build our own house.
->
So true! I'd have to start knocking down walls
if I wanted to do any remodeling. 
chat with you soon!
