My Pandora was my "Empty Nester" pup, but grew to so much more. I am a lover of all creatures. Yet she stole my heart in a different way. She had a seizure yesterday afternoon and we rushed her to the vet. Once there she was given a full work-up and blood pulled. We are now waiting for the results of her tests. I am happy she has been acting great since we brought her home from the vets. Of course we are following all the guidelines and keeping things a peaceful as we can. I was just ...

2/14/12
I had a wonderful weekend with Scott in Santa Monica. I was left for the first time to work on making choices on what I ate while on vacation. I feel I had a mixed bag, some choices were great.

I have always gone to the gym with my husband as he loads and unloads my,” Lil Red Pony”, so I can get to the pool. Of course that has limited my choices of times since he owns his own business. He also holds the membership for the gym and I am always his guest. This all made sense till lately when I was thinking about his very busy season is starting and that will add stress to both of us. I will feel bad about pulling him away from his clients and his time to do the work for them. So i got ...

My "Options" week starts Thursdays,todays thoughts

Thursday, February 9th 2012

After reviewing my returned food log with its comments I set forth a new plan for my breakfast. After trying to add a full serving of Canadian bacon,” way to salty”, I used another egg. So I feel it was a balanced meal with vegetable, fruit, and protein. This also upped my protein intake for the morning meal.
I am still concerned about exceeding my 1120 calories for the day. Notes in my food log from the nutritionist say, “1200”. In the past exceeding that count caused weight gain. When I...
