Had a giggle about the scales - ours are currently being used in the work shed area - not sure why, but I haven't missed them. Wearing an apron is essential - not sure why, but I love to wear them!<br />Hope you have a wonderful day<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-28902296787129162142011-04-14T01:11:56.220+01:002011-04-14T01:11:56.220+01:00I always enjoy your "weightless" questio...I always enjoy your "weightless" questions--and their answers. <br /><br />Nutrition Nazi that I am (I'm a dietitian), I have to say that cheesecake counts as a protein-heavy "extra" since cream cheese has very little calcium (bummer isn't it?) For my part, I'm totally in favor of your route of weight monitoring--I step on a scale (here in the Midwest US, we use the singular--not sure why) once in a blue moon. It's easier to track my own weight/shape by measures like how well my clothes fit. (On the other hand, I have my long-term care residents weighed at least once a week--since it's a little harder for me to track how a couple hundred people's clothes are fitting!)bekahcubedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449654823418176968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-43749231537376613552011-04-14T00:13:57.367+01:002011-04-14T00:13:57.367+01:00Ha love the questions!! and ugh I hate scales I do...Ha love the questions!! and ugh I hate scales I don't bring them any where near my house lol!! and cheesecake I agree is an important part of life to be shared with someone you love and not to be missed :) Wishing you a wonderful week ~Love HeatherLife In a Little Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956205013654044439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-46135433718416569952011-04-13T22:45:09.098+01:002011-04-13T22:45:09.098+01:00Yes, Cheesecake is definitely a dairy and as you s...Yes, Cheesecake is definitely a dairy and as you say we could always use more fruit... which reminds me I haven't had my calcium or fruit today. At my age, I need all the calcium I can get. <br /><br />I growl at my scale when I think perhaps I should step on it. It is rarely ever nice to me.. I don't like to give it any opportunity to insult me. <br /><br />I think of you when ever I wear my lamb and "Wellies" apron. Still love it.<br /><br />I don't think I have had my hug today... I'll have to change that. That puppy and calf in previous post are adorable.<br /><br />Much Love,<br />PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-78206012694727183392011-04-13T19:12:00.224+01:002011-04-13T19:12:00.224+01:00Loved your answer to ques 1.

They refuse to budge after a full week of scarifice of those basic healthy foods, as you mentioned in questioned 1 and cranking up your heart rate with killer cardio routines.

I don't do it, but those who have lost weight say it helps. <br /><br />As for hugging someone, I hug Andy every morning when I get him out of bed. He's a heavy sleeper and I find that to get him out of bed, it's just best to pick him up, and take him to the breakfast room and put in the chair. I consider that one of my precious moments with Andy. The problem is, even at 6, he weighs almost 70 lbs. (he's really tall), and I won't be able to do that much longer.<br /><br />As for Joey, he should be getting up here soon. I look forward to hugging him to help him wake up too. I hug my wife as often as possible.<br />BlessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-28199044566089917582011-04-13T14:11:34.887+01:002011-04-13T14:11:34.887+01:00I love that the first question was about cheesecak...I love that the first question was about cheesecake.
