Laurie, Glad you are feeling better. W.

well it wasnt walking...

Well I am starting my fitness campaign all over again after been sickfor 9 days. So today is day 1 again.

[Guest guest]

pulling nails is definitely a workout. in myfooddiary.com you count all kinds

of activity towards exercise. it's all about moving and what uses the food you

ate. so doing housework for 2 hours will count toward about 200 calories burned

and i count it (i'm moving). one good thing is that walking and housework come

out about the same, so it actually gives me incentive to clean (i need it) :-).

katherine, do you live in denmark? i have some very good friends there. i

loved visiting. beautiful place and very friendly. when i stayed with one of my

friends we walked almost 2 miles everyday just to get in and out of the

downtown. there are wonderful walking/biking paths all over. my other friend

though lives out in the country and lives a more americanized life of driving in

and out of town. where do you live?

when i was in denmark i lost 9 pounds from all the walking. of course as soon as

i got back into the U.S. i drove the 3 blocks to the pharmacy to get my film

developed. since then i've forbidden myself from any drive that short and make

myself walk most everywhere. :-)

So today is day 1 again.I spent over an hour pulling nails out of boards at a recyclingcenter. I worked up a sweat and I was breathing hard. So i think itcounts as some sort of a work out. I expect my hands and arms to besore tomorrow too. A lot of pulling was done. i see the group is really busy today!

how cool.will probably not get to reading all the posts until tomorrow.will check the website though and see where Steve is at.laurie in portland/gresham oregon

Laurie..

I hope you aren't too sore today. I overdid it the other day and sat around too much the next day- feeling sorry for myself. BOY was that a mistake !! I am trying to be moderate in my exercise now...and to do a little something every day...alternating cardio and strength training. Hang in there !

well i'm not sore yet, but I came down sick again. I guess standing

out in the cold for a couple hours after being sick was just too much.

only my throat is bad right now, i'm debating taking the antibiotics i

was given just in case. i really dont want to take them, but this

ongoing throat infection has gone beyond aggravating.

i've had non stop throat infections since christmas.

i got some herbals from the naturopath, but i dont think they're

working, i'll give it a couple more days.

any have any suggestions for throat infections?

Maggie, thanks for checking on me. I didnt get much excercise in

today, but I didnt eat too badly. A bowl of cereal, a very small

piece of cake, a whole grain healthy sandwhich and salad & fish. but

i was bad and had some of the onion rings. but I dont think i went

over my 1600 calorie goal.

i looked up my weight loss schedule on spark people and I can do 1600

calories a day and lose weight as long as I get some excercise 3 times

a week. i was pretty happy. i'm no good at keeping at a 1200 calorie

diet. I just wont lose the weight quite as fast, which is fine with

me. Fast weight loss gives you flabbier skin.

oh and i had my cholestorol checked and it came back normal instead of

almost high. I was just under the border the time before. sorry i

dont have the numbers, i lost the paper. I stopped eating transfats

(hydrogenated oils) and it did the trick.

Laurie: Good morning, I am sorry you are a bit under the weather. I hope you don't need the antibiotics but here is a caution if you do. Once you start, finish the whole course whether or not you feel like you need it. Start immediately to eating things like cultered sourkraut, cultered yogurt, cottage cheese and buttermilk. Continue this for at least two weeks after completing the antibiotice. Even better would be taking probiotic supplements. Most antibiotics are not selective. They kill good bacteria while killing the bad. You have my get well wishes and I'm hopeing you have a very good holiday week end.

Hugs

Very good news Laurie

Possibly a little honey mixed with fresh lemon juice.

. Let a little spoon full ease down your throat ever couple of hours or so.

ps

I am going to start signing my mail with HBD instead of .

my mother is a naturalist and i've heard the speal since I was 3 years

old...

thanks though, i'll bet it will be 'new' to a few people and hopefully

help someone else.

i hate taking antibiotics, after I take them I always develop a new

food intolerance. even with eating the yogurt and the probiotic

supplements.

i really want to wake up tomorrow morning and be able to swallow

without pain!
