, I was eating mixed vegetables and sweet peas, but read an article on starchy vegetables, and how they can be higher in carb scale and calories.

This is somewhat true, but the excess fiber in them negates the effects of carbs. Well assuming you aren’t eating 183647 pounds of root veggies (carrots potatoes beets radishes etc...) So don’t worry too much about bad effects from excess carbs from veggies.

I think the ones you may want to moderate are the ones with the word sweet in them like corn, especially if you have issues controlling sugar. Pumpkins and parsnips also have a GI - glycemic index.  

 

Like Kirsten has said, in most cases though, the fiber in the veg helps to really offset this. If you process these, it reduces the fiber quality and it’s offsetting benefits. So don’t avoid, but moderate consumption, is always a safe bet.

@tracy_j most of the crops grown in San Diego are grown a little north and along the coastline, like in Delmar and Encinitas. I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions.

After losing the weight that was bugging me, I’m going to keep to the low starchy stuff, thanks for the info tho!

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a busy summer for me.  Both Granddaughters spent time with us (separately so that they had 100% of our attention and to give them a break from each other.  Our oldest made Varsity Cheerleader as a sophomore.  She is also on a competitive co-ed cheer team and will be competing at a number of events that could lead to the national championships.  Her younger sister is into dance, and has been doing hip-hop for a few years now and is adding ballet this year.  She will also be trying out for middle school cheer squad when school starts.

 

We bought another sailboat but are having problems with the state getting it registered.  And we've got a line on what could be our third sailboat.  An 18 footer, a 32 footer both sloops and this next one would be a 41 foot ketch.  I am anxious to learn the fate of the 32 foot as it needs work but I don't want to spend time or money on it if I am going to sell it for scrap.  (scrap value is more than I paid for it so no loss)  The smallest one is for sale.  

 

We leave the east coast on Thursday for a week on the west coast.  Going to Portland to see our son and his wife.  And finally we will be spending several days with friends over Labor Day.

 

@Ellora that's a long trip for 5 year olds, England to San Diego.  No wonder they can't figure out why the sun is messed up.  Enjoy them every minute you can.  They don't stay little for long.

 

@Debra Michelle congratulations!

@Debra Michelle I'm kinda surprised your surgery date is so far out.  When my spouse had it the surgery was scheduled within a week.  I know the surgeon moved the R schedule around somewhat to minimize the wait.  But I'm happy to read you are on track.  Sorry about the clutch.  Sounds like the driver is a klutz!

Gee @Willow another boat!  Sounds like fun.  I hope the issue you're having is resolved easily.

 

Cheers! Jani

@Willow, oh ya, it definitely is a long plane ride for the, for sure. I went last year to help with the trip, unfortunately my dad wasn’t doing well enough this year, so I stayed home this time. They finally woke up at 7 instead of 6 am today. The extra hour of sleep sure makes a difference, ?. Congrats on getting another boat, I hope the red tape works out., have fun sailing!

Good morning! Working on my first cup o coffee, and breakfast. I got better sleep, but had some weird dreams, some good some weird, some ok. I had to force myself to wake up after I got tired of the bad dream. 

It supposed to reach 98 degrees outside today around the east county, glad there isn’t ac over here. Apparently it’s foggy where I live on the coast, and it’s supposed to be around 88 degrees there, oh joy...I don’t have ac at my place, but that’s ok, it’s a fair trade off , living so close to SD Bay, and Balboa Park. 

The twins are playing with the legos, peacefully, so that’s a bonus ?. I will be taking them to the indoor mall, then to see Toy Story 4 later, that will be fun ?

Interesting that we're in the midst of August and the temps here are going to be in the mid 70's for rest of week.  Typically it should be high 80's- 90's.  Odd.

 

Have fun at the movie Ellora!

It's a great deal brighter on the East Coast.  Hot, extremely humid forecast, ugh.  This morning is delightfully cool however.

That's wonderful!  I would certainly accept my grandkids if they transitioned.  Hopefully one of them will have the 52 chevy flat bed when i can't drive or i'm gone.

The sun is starting to wake up over here, it's nice and cool, and looks like it's a little foggy near the downtown area. Still quiet tho

Temps have been about normal here for July- Aug. About this time of the month It usually starts cooling ever so slightly. So the kids don't roast when they get back to school. Today it is supposed to be around 80.

 

waiting on my cup of Joe. Had a nice shower earlier. complete shave. put my hair up in a pony tail. Only time it doesn't curl is when I put it up. I know some girls would die to have my naturally curly hair.

Been wearing polish on my fingernails for about a month. Only positive comments from the ladies. A few looks but other wise good. I will be keeping them polished more of the time from now on.

 

Hugs

Just having my usual glance before breakfast. It looks cool out again today. I think we have maybe seen the last of the high heat of the summer. It is getting autumnal now although a while to go yet so there should be other hot days. My fish and chip lunch today so I hope the weather holds for a walk through the woods and fields on the way.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good early morning, I fell asleep early, so of course I woke up super early. I’ve been up since 230am ish, and it’s now 430 am ish. Happy it’s friday. It is movie night at my sons place. We will be watching Avengers: Endgame, on his roof top! He has a cool set up with a portable fire pit, out door couch, and a huge movie screen to watch it on. Fun times!

We've got a hot spell building up.  I'm still cutting firewood and trying to get the barn filled with hay for the winter.  I'll have another cup but will also have my thermos with me with water to help in the heat.

As the days shorten, our two buck goats start to stink.  I rub their heads with rags and then hang them in the barn.  The does love that smell.  In a month when we put the does and bucks together all the females will ovulate at the same time.  Interesting how those hormones work.  Sisterhood.

 

Hugs,

      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
    • Ashley0616
      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.
