The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 12/8/2025, 1:22 pm, in reply to "Monday Thankfuls" 1) Dad's stress test is scheduled for Jan 2. He hasn't yet decided on surgery 2) just had my first salad since surgery and it went down well. It was about 1/2 a taco salad and had about 10-12 grams of protein so I'm pleased that it went well. It's all about trying different foods to see what settles well 3) all done my auction sheets for the week - takes me about 7 hours total working on it Sunday and Monday non-stop 4) a nice hot bath this morning 5) habit now to do CUBII while watching TV - watching "Dangerously Obese" now

Krista Posted by Cindyh on 12/10/2025, 5:44 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" I’m always surprised by how fast you can move through the food stages but that’s awesome Doing the Cubii automatically is really great. Does it make give hips hurt?? I have been watching dangerously obese too. I really like it

With this clinic Posted by Krista on 12/10/2025, 12:36 pm, in reply to "Krista" you are back to "regular" foods on week 6. How long was it when you had your sleeve done, CindyH? There's many things that I haven't tried yet and guidelines they do give you on what are the best / good choices but they move along through stages within the first 6 weeks. I'm 11 weeks out now, which is hard to believe. No the CUBII is feet moving only so no pain in knees or hips at all. I love doing it while watching tv. No sweating but at least it's something. For someone who used to love exercise, I am sure "fighting" it now! Odd!

Krista Posted by Beverly on 12/8/2025, 11:00 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" So happy to hear that the salad went down ok!!!! I feel the same way about my shower... sitting on my shower chair. I love it! Can't use the tub. Such a good habit using your CUBII!!!! Wonderful.

What a great habit Posted by Delta on 12/8/2025, 3:18 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" I hope you can keep it up forever because it is good for you. A good hot bath is the cure-all for everything.

Mine Posted by Paula on 12/8/2025, 10:09 am, in reply to "Monday Thankfuls" Figuring it out You guys...always Working from home today because we have snow coming again. This will be our second snowfall this season. I don't think we've had a drop of snow for the past 2 years. Forecast, anywhere from 1-4 inches Bill just took some of my purchases to the post office to be returned. Making Skinnytaste Blackened Shrimp and Grits tonight. I will go easy on the blackened spices. Reminds me of South Carolina.

Yummy!! Posted by Cindyh on 12/9/2025, 3:00 pm, in reply to "Mine" That sounds delicious!! I love shrimp and grits. That’s my go To on the coast. I had to take some packages back also. Yes we figure it out. One way or another. Thank goodness

Paula Posted by Beverly on 12/8/2025, 11:07 pm, in reply to "Mine" Oh my... that lots of snow, really. We have had snow... but, usually cold weather. Every morning for the past 10 days it's been between 2 and 10 degrees. Nice of Bill to help with the packages. I love grits, too.

THAT'S COLD!!! Posted by Paula on 12/9/2025, 12:22 am, in reply to "Paula" Not sure I could stand that anymore!

Sounds like you Posted by Delta on 12/8/2025, 3:12 pm, in reply to "Mine" are having crazy early winter weather, too. I was thinking about meal plans last night and the ST Blackened Shrimp and Grits popped into my mind. We haven't had it in a long while. I was also thinking that I didn't think I could handle all the blackened spices, but I would probably change them to grill spices.

Well... Posted by Paula on 12/9/2025, 12:25 am, in reply to "Sounds like you " The grits were great but I think something was off with the shrimp. I felt sick to my stomach and, about 1 1/2 hours after dinner, I threw up a bunch of times! The dogs ate some shrimp and no upset tummies noted. Threw all the shrimp away but will nibble on the grits.
