But if people can't safely walk, then what good are they?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-80605363855257596042011-07-05T12:41:14.567+10:002011-07-05T12:41:14.567+10:00Bear, I can't even have a drink.

I'm surprised how many times I get up to change channels on the teev when there's no remote unfortunately the only drawback to that exercise is not being able to remove Tony Abbott fast enough.<br /><br />Shelley, I've seen there's a new muesli out with Chia seeds but all this new stuff is expensive. I do eat Helga's bread with quinoa and flaxseed regardless of price. Another suggestion was to have Paul's Good to Go smoothie drink if you have to rush breakfast and I'm awfully glad it was the BOH who drank the berry one and spent the night on the loo with his head in a bucket.<br />It's supposed to be fresh but Safeway left in in the fridge section 6 days out of date. I have the bottle and my docket and they're getting a visit tomorrow. <br /><br />Annie O, every food thing can be bad for someone. Sister has salicylate allergies and it's a natural ingredient in most vegetables and fruit. $6 for organic ginger because there wasn't any non-organic cheap ginger. I love lemon and ginger tea.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-22871782489528347442011-07-01T19:22:58.636+10:002011-07-01T19:22:58.636+10:00Windsmoke missed the post about the titanium knees...Windsmoke missed the post about the titanium knees.<br /><br />I wish there was an aisle at the supermarket labelled The No Crap Section, where one may safely shop - oh! that would be fruit and veg.<br />I need a snack excuse me while I wash a carrot. oops, they are full of 'natural sugar'. etc etc.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-13113046458098086942011-07-01T17:52:17.959+10:002011-07-01T17:52:17.959+10:00Chia seeds are meant to be good for diabetics.

I'm past caring, as long as I last until the 14th and Harry Potter.<br /><br />River, are you trying to kill me? The last thing my anxiety/depression/black cloud on my shoulder needs is to see a list of food on my fridge door. <br />Define small, NFI but if it has icing I think perhaps a one inch slab, without icing, whatever I can stuff in my mouth and still talk.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-2740996075404289962011-07-01T14:52:57.008+10:002011-07-01T14:52:57.008+10:00Would it help if you wrote a meal/snack menu and p...Would it help if you wrote a meal/snack menu and posted it on your fridge? Then next to each meal or snack write down what needs adjusting after you've done your readings. Then work out what to eat the next day and see if the readings improve. Keep doing this until the new routine becomes a habit. It's bound to get easier.<br />Now, about the fruit cake, a "small" slice is okay? Define "small"....I'm guessing a two inch slab wouldn't qualify?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-33058199690125121782011-07-01T14:00:00.299+10:002011-07-01T14:00:00.299+10:00Yup.
