Okaaaaaaay. Count me in, within my limits. I walked up my stairs today--up and down six times. Pulse below 100 for the first time in eight weeks. I can breathe again! I love breathing! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418296 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:12:54 +0000 2 Popoki 418296@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay for Cheri !!! </p> <p>I will be leaving the office in 15 minutes for at least one hour of racquet ball. If the courts are empty - we'll go for 2. Fingers crossed ! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418294 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:09:10 +0000 CSBM 418294@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>yes, I did go to the gym today and I feel proud of myself... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418233 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:52:47 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 418233@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We've not had the elliptical very long so I'm just building up slowly. I've noticed it is easier over the last two weeks so I'll just keep plodding on gently. I no longer do the beetroot thing MCW so it does improve. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418222 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:37:25 +0000 WillowandWindismom 418222@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW and MS, I wonder if you might want to think about doing some other cardio that you can do for a longer period? Maybe the treadmill and raise the elevation, or the bike? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418221 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:37:12 +0000 Kilroy 418221@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hang in there, MS and MCW!! It gets easier. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418219 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:36:01 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418219@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Doing my sit ups and heading for bed - g'night all! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418217 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:35:03 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418217@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I can only do 10...

I'm only at 15 minutes but working upwards. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418209 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:21:20 +0000 Kilroy 418209@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There are several shops here that sell British goods, so we can actually get "real" Cadburys, as opposed to the American stuff. One of them's next to the tearoom I went to on Sunday; I had to force myself to *not* walk in. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418207 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:19:02 +0000 TrufflesMom 418207@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That could make you a very popular woman MCW! Of course if you swing through central pennsylvania you can tour 2 chocolate factories: Hershey's and Litiz, both good but not up to Cadbury in decadence standards. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418205 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:15:07 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418205@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*plans to travel really light and bring vast quantities of genuine Cadburys in September* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418200 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:08:54 +0000 TrufflesMom 418200@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well I would be more interested in the history of Cadbury than of Guiness, which is what comes up on all the tours of Ireland I am looking at. But we did not get to Birmingham on our trip. I did bring back some Cadbury chocolate - plane snacks! The stuff from the UK is better than the stuff labeled Cadbury in the US. Hershey contracts for the name here and does not use as rich and fatty a chocolate as the UK plants.</p> <p>I have to work on my eating again too MC - I have been good this week with the gym but terrible with food. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418191 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:00:46 +0000 mollycat71 418191@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have totally fallen "off the wagon" so to speak this week. I have eaten awful and have felt like a slug. I need to start eating better and doing some sort of activity besides my daily activity. UGH! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418186 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:55:05 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418186@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cadbury World is just outside Birmingham, in Bournville, the original (and still working) factory of the Cadbury family. It's not a theme park as such, it's a big walking tour round a huge exhibition they've built, in several "zones" going through the history of Cadbury and how it came to be the world giant it is today. There is one ride, an indoor one, which is a bit cutesy, but great for little kids (and Mum loved it too!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418177 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:39:49 +0000 WillowandWindismom 418177@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GASP - I didn't know that there was a Cadbury World, either!!!! What kind of rides do they have? :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418170 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:31:53 +0000 TrufflesMom 418170@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There is a Cadbury world?!!? I went to England last year and I missed Cadbury World? Probably a good thing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418167 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:28:59 +0000 2 Popoki 418167@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No worries about that MCW. I have a handful of dark-chocolate covered raisins each work day. In fact, that is what finally defeated the 2 day old headache ! Gotta have some of the good stuff too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418158 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:22:23 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 418158@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm sorry, I strayed from the path today - we took Mum to Cadbury World in honour of it being her 75th birthday on Friday - and they're very generous with their free samples...I will still do my sit ups tonight though! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418136 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:07:43 +0000 2 Popoki 418136@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am SO not adventurous when it comes to cooking. Have a hard time getting the grill to light sometimes,and it seems like such a big effort for one person. I will keep that idea in mind though! Sounds yummy ! I steam mine, and add a bit of butter. Simple... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418132 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:03:32 +0000 WillowandWindismom 418132@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>2P, our favorite way to do asparagus is to grill it. Have you tried this? Drizzle a bit of oil olive over the asparagus spears and season with salt (of course I skip that step!) and freshly ground black pepper. Take several spears of asparagus, I usually do four or five, and wrap a piece of bacon (low sodium, of course) spiral fashion around the asparagus. Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Grill the bundle and when the bacon is cooked crisp, the asparagus will be perfect. Still a little bit crunchy. It is delicious! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418111 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:31:51 +0000 2 Popoki 418111@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WWM - that is the only time I'll buy it; when it is on an incredible sale. Sprouts has some good prices ! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418094 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:15:44 +0000 WillowandWindismom 418094@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Way to go, Emma!!!! Whoo-hooo!!!</p> <p>2P, I am thinking that it would be cheaper for me to drive there and buy asparagus than to buy it in the stores here. That is an unbelievable price!!!</p> <p>Today was my day off from the gym, but I had a doctors appointment. So I'm getting a very late TDK start!</p> <p>{{{{{{Lainey}}}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418021 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:44:29 +0000 2 Popoki 418021@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>ONe hour with trainer last night and home for a good dinner. I just love fresh asparagus, and it was $0.97/lb WHOO HOOO! Tonight is racquet ball right after work. Possibly a post-workout smoothie at the One-Stop-Nutrition place next to the gym.</p> <p>So happy to be part of this group !!!</p> <p>((Lainey)) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19208#post-418018 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:36:28 +0000 Jetta and Boo Boo's Mom 418018@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you, Emma, for startting today's thread.
