Caringnurse.
Have you tried exercising in a swimming pool?
The warm water in a heated pool can be good for arthritis and the water makes it easy on the joints.
The YMCA, some hospitals and many physical therapy center pools have exercise classes that are suited for folks with arthritis or other limitations.
Peace,
Anne

Mr Scale was nice to me this morning too. I got on it and found out that I LOST 4 LBS! for a total loss of 95 1/2 lbs since December 2005, or 110 1/2 lbs from my heaviest weight ever, which was 315 lbs. I feel pretty good, so I will celebrate by giving away more fat clothes and shortening more of my skinny pants so I can wear them before I shrink out of them.
I've got housework and laundry to do, so have a good day, everyone!
BTW, Harvie, congrats on the weight loss. A little is better than none. Keep it up!

MARCH 1 WEIGHT .... 284
APRIL 1 WEIGHT .... 280 (if I lose more between now and Tues, I'll update!)
MARCH WEIGHT LOSS .... 4 pounds
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS .... 92 pounds (7 months) 
MARCH COMMENTS: March was a weird month for me, and my body is undergoing a period of adjustment. I stopped taking insulin (diabetes), I started taking Synthroid (thyroid), my weight lass stalled because I increased my exercise without increasing my calories, so I increased my calories from 1500 a day to 1900 per day with a committment to do more exercise (biking.) And I also seemed to be really battling water retention following four non-logging days. So, all in all, the four pound loss (1 pound a week), while my lowest weight loss to date, is at least understandable.
LOOKING AHEAD: I am now nicely one week into my 1900 calorie per day groove, and have been biking an hour or more 6 days a week around my neighborhood. I'm trying to eat more protein/fat and not increase my carbs at all, and my fiber is still around 70g per day. We leave on our cruise May 3, so I really would like April to be a strong month for me. I have two upcoming milestones (goals) that I'd like to hit in April (or May) ....
Lose 1 more pound = 93 pounds = 25 percent of my starting weight
Lose 8 more pounds = 100 pounds = 100 POUNDS LOST!

Happy April, everyone! Can I say that I am optimistic about April? Of course, I was optimistic and enthusiastic about March, and it really was fairly disappointing in the Weight Loss Department .... yet, nevertheless, I am optimistic and anticipating and enthusiastic about APRIL! (Now, if only I can get the scale to be just as optimistic and enthusiastic, right?)
I biked 11 miles on Monday and am pretty proud of myself. After breakfast, I hopped on my bike and just headed in the general direction of a friend's house.... who lives 5.2 miles away. Next thing I knew, I was on her doorstep! heh heh heh ..... and it felt like a lot of it was uphill! I stayed for a very short visit, then hopped back on my bike and headed home. My legs were TIRED that last mile or so! Later in the day I went for a quick 1-mile loop around the neighborhood .... but then I was pooped! And I even managed to get a bit of a sunburn today.
The scale on Monday read it's lowest ever: 279.8. It was kind of exciting to be out of the 280s... if only barely. Technically, that gave me a 4.2 pound loss for the month of March. My TOM of the month should be ending later this week, so I hoping that the scale will continue to inch downward, slowly but surely. Hmmm.... of only I could give it a SHOVE, huh?

Hi,
I had a good week. I am down from last week, and holding steady. Which is good since I ate out a lot this weekend because I was helping my family move and had relatives in town.
So I am happy. Today it was nice to just have my normal breakfast. :)

We are forecast for rain on Wednesday .... and, of course, April showers bring May flowers! Of course, we've already got LOTS of flowers here, but maybe this means that the rest of the country will start blooming! YAY! My sunflowers have sprouted and one is already 5 inches tall! I don't know if I will get to bike outdoors on rainy Wednesday ... so may return to my trusty treadmill and recumbant exercise bike, or I may decide to make Wednesday my no-exercise day for the week. Hmmm.... decisions, decisions!
Tuesday we had simply gorgeous weather, and since my wonderful DH was flying a Tuesday NIGHT mission, that meant he was home earlier in the day. We went on a 7 mile bike ride, and then we popped over to the mall so he could surprise me with two new bracelets (green and blue), one new t-shirt (white, lavendar and aqua), and three new tank tops (pink, blue and aqua!) He said to consider them "early Anniversary presents" since he's not sure he will be in town for our Anniversary. By the way, Saturday April 12 is our FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!
Dinner on Tuesday was one of my favorites ... spicy tuna sashimi salad with radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, yellowfin tuna and green onions ... plus a ear of corn and a blueberry fiber muffin. Lunch on Tuesday was egg salad, cucumber, an apple, cheese, turkey and radishes. I am definitely eating a lot of protein these days .... which really has been helping to keep my blood sugars under control -- YAY! I go for another blood test in about three weeks to check my thyroid meds ... so it will be interesting to see how my blood sugars have been doing, OFF insulin.
Can I confess that I am a bit scared about Saturday? I've been invited to a baby shower for one of the ladies I used to work with at the City Attorney's Office. I know that there will be at least a half-dozen women there that I USED to work with, who I have not seen since fall 2005 when I quit my job due to stress. I now have REALLY short hair, haven't worked in the past 2.5 years and ... oh, yea ... I've lost 70 pounds since they last saw me. I've lost 92.2 pounds, but I'm going by what I weighed back in 2005.) (I don't know why the whole event scares me ... but it really does. Well, maybe "nerve-wracking" is a better description. And I know I'm not that worried about what's being served -- I already decided Saturday would be a no-logging day and I will just choose wisely. And I have the cutest baby outfits ever as my gift ... I think it's just the thought of having to face a room-full of women, and hoping that I measure up, ya know? (And I am wearing "the" green dress!)

My new bagels are here! My new bagels are here! My new bagels are here!!!! I was never so excited to see that cheerful brown UPS truck pull up out front!!! I rushed out to the curb and grabbed my big box o' bagels and rushed inside! As part of my dinner on Wednesday night, I lovingly halved, carefully toasted, and then carefully measured and spread two tablespoons of reduced fat Philadelphia chive n' onion cream cheese ... then topped both bagel halves with a few sprinkles of sundried tomato. Oh, YUMMMMM!!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I haven't had a bagel in soooooo long ... it was chewy and multigrainy and oh, so satisfying!!!!!
The bagel in question is a "Perfect 10" multigrain bagel from Western Bagel ... and I ordered mine online (6 packages) at LINK. Unlike other bagels I've had, this one has three wonderful things going for it: (1) LOW CARB! (just 10 net carbs per bagel); (2) HIGH FIBER (9g of fiber per bagel); and (3) HIGH PROTEIN (a whopping 18g of protein per bagel!) All that with only 2g of fat and 15% of my daily iron ... not too shabby, huh!? I shared one bag with a girlfriend, popped the open bag in the fridge, and tucked the other 4 bags in the freezer .... yum yum yum yum yum! Oh, and they are just 140 calories each ... so with the 60 calories of cream cheese ... I can have a bagel n' shmear for just 200 calories ... WOOOO HOOO!!!!

Harvie, can you please fix the bagel link? I was practically drooling when I read your post and the link is broken 
Nevermind, I found them.
HERE are the bagels :)
