OK.. per the new link:
if i want to drop 2# per week, my calories per day are 801..
my ratio thing is 1.84
on a 1000 caloreis the breakdown :56g protein
13 carbs
81g fats...
FAT% 72.5
5% carbs leaves 22.5% protein so that works out..
I used to strive for 82-84% fats. I will have to deal with what I can work out here. Some days will be lower than others and fat cals will be in teas etc and make little room if any for the can of fish! Not sure about this but will just do what I know works from past menus!

I had a heck of a day today. Ed & I went into town for groceries and he had a breathing attack. Good thing we were in town because the hospital is right there! Spent the whole afternoon in emergency again.

He is fine now. But it was scary.

We are home and he has all his breathing apparatii now, so he will be fine tonight.

Of course, we did not get to make our steaks. We will have to make them tomorrow. I put a cod fillet in the oven and it should be done in 1/2 hr or so. Since it is getting so late, and this is my main meal now, my calories will be quite low. But I had a couple cups of coffee at the ER and all they had was Splenda packs and little individual 1/2-n-1/2 cups. Therefore, my carbs will be up there so I am not going to eat a salad with my fish. 12 carbs total today and only 1081 calories. My fats are still at 72%. I just plugged this new info in the ratio-thingy and it came up to 1.84, so all is well.

BARB - sorry to hear you are having so much pain and swelling. I hope you can find some relief with your old pills.

HIMI - I sure hope tomorrow lets you see your losses again!

Time to eat now. You all have a great night!

Thanks Cricket.... yep, its pretty cool right? A year was going to pass regardless of what I did, and I did something which helps me sleep better, have less pain, get around more easily, feel better, (and as a nice side effect I look better and I can wear cuter stuff).

I did a photo progression on my one year date (December 26th). The "halfway" pic is about 6 weeks after I joined the A-Team, right at the end of when I had that loooong pause at the 220-225 "setpoint". I have bounced up a little since my all-time low, but I have no doubt I am headed back there soon (and measurements have not gone up so its not real gain anyway). I figured you might like to see--

Wow, Himi! Great pictures! You can see the success by the smile on your face.

Cricket: I'm not sure what the issue is with my foot. It comes and goes and it will attack different places on my foot. When I had it before, I even went to a podiatrist and he said it wasn't gout...which is what I was thinking since my uric acid tends to run high. I can touch it but it kills me to walk on it and I'm not sure I'll get my shoe on tomorrow. It started on the bottom of my foot and now is on the side by the joint of the big toe. I still think it's some mild form of gout. I put what was left of my pills in a little pill bag and now can't find it.

HIMI>>> I got Carl away from his computer game to see your pics. THAT is why I do these games and team! CONGRATS!!! Just look at your facial expressions.THEY say it all. You are as beautiful outside as inside!

CHRISSIE>> looks lie there are a few of us going to boot camp now!
Have fun with the rug rats

and hope you do not catch those mysterious bugs they spread YIKES.. snotty little beasties

( but then again you like BATS LMAO )

Jodi begins tomorrow!!! YEA. Me too again!This day off has been hell. I am sick and bloated and uncomfortable and nothing even tasted good there at the new place. The restaurant itself was gorgeous. Would not beleive it was the same building even as the other. But the foods were so disappointing. The locals praised it highly. We knew from the time we moved here that ALABAMIANS have no clue what good Chinese food is. Closest we find is in south Florida. I used to go to China Town in NYC all the time and trust me.. ALABAMA has no clue. The foods were ordinary, not well seasoned and blah. They advertsie 250 items..well. I do not count mac and cheese, pizza, sliced ham and beef as CHinese foods.JUst balh and in no hurry to return. It was very cheap at $11.99 each.Just not returning there any time before AUGUST.
My friend's memorial is Saturday the 9th so the date is perfect. It is at 3PM so we will pick up the rental car the evening before, drive early, and maybe drive home. I would stay overnight but that is up to carl. I will plan to bring overnight stuff anyway in case he changes his mind. I expect the hotels are costly so we will see. Cannot see him driving all day like that. too exhausting. I am paying anyway. So one of the medical bills will get delayed is all.

Going to change over the chart now..
IT IS MONDAY'S CHART

Hi BARB.. we doubled...if it is the joint that is inflammed then I bet it IS gout. If not, sounds like a tendenitis deal.REALLY odd.. What does your regular MD say? ever try allupurinol for the higher uric acid? DRINKING A LOT of water will help a lot. SO sorry you deal with this and not know what it is is hard! Feel better!... HERE is to feeling better wit the NEW YEAR PLANS IN PLACE!

Now to change the chart

Found the Pills! I sound like a drug addict, but I will be feeling relief soon. I already take allopurinal. I was taking 150 mgs every other day, but he changed it when I was there in Oct to one 100 mgs every day. I seem to only have the pain a couple of times per year and it immediately goes away with one dose of taking the anti-inflammatory. That's why those pills last me so long. I've been drinking more plain water since I started this WOE, but thinking back to the past month, I haven't been drinking as much. That's probably the issue.

Glad the date of the memorial worked out for you. That will bring you some closure.
