today..... they buttoned and zipped! I put the full set of before and nows up on the thread but here is your own personal version.

Laura - I hope you feel better, you haveto get rid of it before you come to NY to freeze you butt off.!!! LOL

well, my closet is officially empty - my 3 new jeans and a couple of tops and my old/new dress. I'm going shopping to get some new clothes for my new job tomorrow. Nope they have not called yet, they are torturing me LOL

I should have my tax money by the 15th, yipee, going to pay a couple of bills, and buy my plane ticket. I'm nervous about telling new job i need 3 days off. Hope it will be ok. I'll bring my laptop and phone if i have to, i'm gone!

well...I think i have a stomach bug, and I'll leave it at that, but omg i feel horrible... my good friend had it last week, i told her to keep it to herself but don't think that worked. Not changing my ticker but 200.5 this am... motivation to stick to the rules this weekend!

Laura---send DH back to the store for the Childrens form of Musinex. It comes in little pouches of crystals you simply pour on your tongue, and they dissolve--they come in grape or bubble gum I think--not bad tasting, do not stick in your stoma--and they helped me! Feel better soon!!!

OK off to look at the trailer I think. Made Rick sausage & eggs, and stupid me tried to eat a biscuit.....I feel miserably full, and want a drink really bad and I know better, so I am off to hit the elliptical and hope it moves it on through!!!

TTYL~~

Hi, my name is Judy and I'm a exercise equipment-holic.

I just ordered two new things.... the Tony Little Rock 'n Roll Stepper https://www.rocknrollstepper.com/spark/index.php?ai=12

and a nifty little elliptical from QVC. Product Detail - Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer

I'm loving my trampoline. I don't ever sit down in the living room anymore. I'm constantly on it. Now when these two things come in, I'll have my own little circuit training in front of the tv! Somebody make me stop!!!

Judy, stupid question alert???? What exactly do you do on the trampoline? I mean, I know you bounce, but is that it. Just jump up and down, or do you have/ watch, etc a routine? I would love that to do when I watch All My Children everyday. Please 'splain Lucy, uh...I mean Judy!

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
