I have been taking Vit D for about 2 yrs... but only 1000iu... should I increase I wonder.. ? Hmmmmm
When I broke my ankle , my surgeon made a point of telling me that my bones looked really good and strong.. it was just a fluke that I broke it... it was all in the way I fell.... 🙁
Thanks to all of you.
Love and prayers back at ya.
Liz - more prayers and vibes to Doug.
Rick - so true about the Vitamin D3. If you are deficient in it, it can cause joint pain as well. I had that problem until my rheumatologist figured it out. I now take 2000 i/u's per day. Might bump it up to 5000 i/u's per day.
Very best wishes to Doug Liz -- what a tough break -- healing vibes en route -- also hoping Michael is recovering well -- Red Dog, same to you too brother -- glad to hear that it's looking like chemo may be overwith -- Gregg has bounced back well, now you are too bro -- good weekend to all
Hi Lizzy. I am sorry to hear the bad news about your friends Doug & Claire. I will keep them in my Thoughts & Prayers. You are so right, CANCER SUCKS!!!!
Take care of yourselves folks. Keep your medical appointments and follow-up, follow-up and follow-up. It may make a huge difference someday.
Pam & I are heading up to Lake Erie for the weekend later today. I hope you all have a Safe & Goodtime weekend. Peach.
Please, brothers and sisters, keep those prayers coming for my friends Claire and Doug. He is back in the hospital - either medication toxicity or the cancer has spread to his brain. I can't believe this is happening.
Like BDOB says, CANCER SUCKS.
I've lost 22 pounds since June on Weight Watchers. It's a great plan because it's real. You can eat whatever you want, it's all about portion control and eating right. They have a great support system. Many of us from the GB/Forum are doing it, many with great success. Keep up the awesome work, gang!
Rainy, the pintobean plan probably won't work for everyone. Come to think of it, it doesn't work that great for me.........
For me, it has been a combination of things. First, I have made the committment to eat healthy. No fast food of any kind.
And I eat every meal...I dont skip meals. Oatmeal for breakfast or a protein shake with a bananna added....I add ice in the blender so its very cold. Lunch is something light usually with fruit. And I try to eat supper by 6PM. If I get a craving I may go grab a frozen yogurt from Yogurt Mountain or eat some fresh fruit.
I rarely eat beef now. Seafood or chicken.
Breads rarely and I eat gluten free bread from Whole Foods. Refined flour nope.
Drink a lot of water nowdays....add Crystal Light Orange or grape for a change.
And a weekly B-12 dose.
I also take 5,000IU of Vitamin D every day. I cannot stress the very latest research on Vitamin D. The Vitamin D council is spot on and most of us are severely deficient in D levels. New research confirms D is not just for bone health but may prevent colon and breast CA and other issues, including weight.
Back in the 90's Ronnie Earl sat in with Dickey and the ABB up in New England. That might be it.
:waving: Well Kitty and Liz, I can't speak for anyone but me .... But, I cut way back on bread, pasta, butter.... and I am walking the dog :dog: River 🙂 and anytime I have on DBGS.. you know I am dancing all around.. it's impossible not too... 🙂
So nice to see Barry Z on GB... and I looked at the pictures of GABBA on Face book and saw Luke and Gina , Barry Z, many others who were there and had a great time..
Hey Mitch... how are you... ?
Pintobean you crack me up :laugh:
So , where is our GB poster Mr. Jim.. you are missed here terribly... Come on back and say Hello..
Also Tennkev and rajo and all who have quietly disappeared.. you are all missed..
Alright it's Thursday night put on some Betts and turn it up 🙂
Keeping the vibe and spirit alive for :dog:
And Rainy and Rick - I'm with Liz, please share your weight loss secrets. I know Liz says cookies aren't in the plan. I'm guessing neither are butter or beer.
I've read on Ronnie's site where he thanks Dickey for playing on one of his cd's. What's the name of it? I'd love to buy it.
Bought a new Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters CD today & in the liner notes he sends out blessing to other musicians and included is Dickey. anyone know of any history between Ronnie & Dickey?
Barry ,it was sure good seein ya again bro.
The pintobean weight loss plan - walk 4 or more miles at 5:00am every day. Only eat barbeque one day per week and then don't have more than 3 or 4 plates. Let my wife order for me when we go out to eat. Try to play tennis one or two nights per week. Drink lots of water. Listen to plenty of Dickey Betts and other great southern rock music. Floss every day. Get into a weight loss challenge with your best friend. Have the results posted in his office and the loser has to buy salad for two at lunch at the weekly weigh in.
Price is Right showcase today:
Rock & Roll Showcase including Ultimate Guitar Hero gaming system, mini-cooper convertible and Rock & Roll fantasy camp in SF featuring Dickey Betts (of the Allman Brothers)
Well at least they mentioned Dickey!!!!!
