Daniel is in Grinnell Med. Center having had Hernia surgery.

Daniel has a picture on his facebook site. It is not pretty of scar. He was much worse than doctors thought as they started surgery yesterday a.m. Operation was to be a 30 min, but went to a hour and a half. His weight loss of over 150 lbs in 15 months really helped him, but these doctors are the best for heavy people. Well, I asked him about pretty nurses, but he is worrying about walking and coming back home to his PAD.This weather has side-tracked our diet discussion. He is starting  back to Indian Hills Com. college here in town on Sept. 1 part-time, was in school last year. Dan and I are trying to let folks know how there is life before and after weight loss, you will enjoy his videos of the flooding, etc. all in his purple GeoMetro convertible. A year ago all this was a dream for him. Muffy and I are enjoying a peaceful beautiful day, as tommorow rain is in the forecast. Bye for now.

Hot Weather is not good for shopping!

Today is about getting  shopping schedule ready after our daily newspaper has specials every Wednesday from all busy merchants. Will let you know how my list went.Bye for now!

Calico Mama and Muffy Go Shopping

Well my toy poodle and I have tried shopping  and with all this rain, it is depressing. Dan has lost 153 lbs. on his diet in 15 months and I am busy as I make up all his meals and take to his apartment. My shopping entails in hot weather taking a friend, Janice, who is also retired and a widow. Janice goes with me or Muffy goes to GRANDMA'S(Janice). Shopping for a diabetic and low calorie has put me in the fresh fruit and veggie aisles a lot. This rain is getting to be crazy. I am going to be doing my diet quiz this week. It will surprise you how much you can help someone gain weight and then blame them.  Talk to you real soon for now bye from me and Muffy.

Well Muffy, my toy poodle and I are going to go shopping as the weather is nice. I am working on the Lol diet quiz.  Shopping for food on a Monday is dull. Dan is having fun after his huge weight loss. Will tell you how grocery store trip went. bye for now.

Well I am ready to start someone on a diet journey that is so easy, but the main thing is to learn how to shop. Ads and coupons are deceiving. In past years, I have been featured on a local radio show and newspaper for my coupons. My son due to stress gained a lot of weight and found he was diabetic. The doctor gave me a sample diet sheet and allowed foods and said put him on this diet. So EASY RIGHT!!!! Well we began a journey of I'm hungry don't you feel sorry for me to can't you control my eating. Sure I can perform MIRACLES!!!!! Well it is now 14 months later and down 150 lbs. Down from a 8-9X to a 3-4 X and the miracle is that he can fill a dream going to Wal-Mart and buying clothes instead of ordering fat clothes at 3 times the price. MIRACLES don't happen over night, your whole idea of what food can do for you is the secret. You are now eating to live, not living to EAT,with the gloom prospect of dying early..THE LAUGH OUT LOUD DIET. You can go to Wal-Mart and be a REAL PERSON>JOIN ME TO GO SHOPPING FOR THE REAL FOOD.Bye for now, drop me a line.
