 | Thanks for the info, Meagan. My wife had some 2lb so I started with those but went out and got me some five pounders…..ouch….LOL. She dragged out one of her exercise DVD’s with a gal on one of those big balance balls. Because of my knee, I opted to use a chair. The wife is making me do the upper body workout every other day for 10 minutes. I’ll take a look at the link you so graciously sent in your post. Thanks. |
 | apensa, Being a pitcher is overrated! 🙂 Alternative movements can be used to avoid doing things over head like tricep kickbacks and side laterals (listed on the website). I am sure your daughter is very lovely then! 😀 Let me know if you have any questions! |
| | Meagan…..by the way, When I first saw your picture, I could swear it was my daughter. My wife agrees. |
| | Meagan….THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! My wife does have some light dumbbells around….what weights would you suggest? Also, is there someplace I could go to see exactly what these exercises look like and any other details that would assure I am doing them correctly. I am also limited in the fact that I have a shoulder problem that does not affect my normal activities but prevents me from doing a lot of overhead movement……..I will never be the first string pitcher…..lol. Thanks again for your input. |

 | Hi OSSIE Thanks!!! |
 | Hi, Paula. This is a bit of a leap, but if there is any change you can find macadamia nut oil (or even order it online), it has a bit of a buttery flavor, a little goes a long way on popcorn, and it is much, much, better for your cholesterol. |
| | Well, I’ve joined the few here that other medical situations have come between some of my TDC regimen. I took a freak spill at home and really screwed up my knee. I am unable to continue my morning walking and have been forced to be very sedentary with my leg elevated. Trying to at least maintain a good diet. Really tempted to enjoy my Vodka, but have not succumbed to that at least. |
| | Hi OSSIE. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, only regular margarines available in the area. I looked through everything I eat, and the only food item I see that would cause me the problem is the butter, but I only eat it on my popcorn on the weekends, and that is not a lot. So I’m torn between switching to Becel and sacrificing the buttery taste on my popcorn, or, leaving it as is for the small amount I do have. High cholesterol is VERY strong in the family so it’s struggle I’ll have anyways. I do eat lots of fruits and veggies daily (celery sticks, strawberries, and bananas every day) and all whole unprocessed foods now, and am getting lots of fresh air and exercise working in my garden. It’s definitely a part of the diet I have to watch VERY closely. Learning the difference between Good vs Bad fats is my next step. Cheers all! |
 | Thanks, Radisson, good idea! I was just sitting here wondering how to manage dinner, and I think I will take your advice….pizza would work! And I have some great salad stuff here. |
 | Hi everyone! |
| | Hi, gg66. Spelt milk is a vegan milk made from the spelt grain – much like rice or oat milk. Spelt is a type of wheat, but is much less processed than even the whole wheat found in today’s marketplace |
 | I have another dinner idea for everyone. Since I’m leaving on a weeks vacation on Saturday, I’m trying to use up things in my fridge. I had a piece of fish left over from my BBQ the other night, so I decided to cut it up in chunks and fry it in a little olive oil. I shredded some cabbage and made a mixture of plain yogurt and 1 tsp. of catsup and put that over it. It was so yummy, just like fish tacos without the tortilla! lol I know the catsup isn’t something that is recommended, but I used so very little and it’s the first I’ve had since January 28 of this year. |
 | Hi All, hope you are all ok?
|
 | Thank you Ossie and Jackiee!! I was beginning to doubt my decision to try this plan. I live in West Texas, not the one that just exploded, but a small town outside of Lubbock,Texas. GG |
