I used to drink a lot of Coke, but have slacked off over the years. Now I drink coffee!<br />My bike seat is nice, and I'm glad you like yours too!<br />Why pluck dog ear hair?!!?? I sometimes have to clean my dogs ears, I have special liquid that I pour in, plug it with a wad of paper towels and rub, then take it off and she shakes her head and sprays waxy fluid all over (outside) then I dry them with more paper towels and she loves it.<br />Have a great day!MarkD60https://www.blogger.com/profile/04081737467851406387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-73444566275710550122017-03-07T21:37:40.588+13:002017-03-07T21:37:40.588+13:00Well done you on your loss and your 3 stickers!

Reflux medication should be taken as directed ...Hi<br /><br />Reflux medication should be taken as directed by a Dr and people can stay on it for the rest of their lives, they have now shown that there is no correlation between reflux medication and osteoporosis etc. But you can get cancer from having constant relfux and as one in three people have a hiatus hernia, which means acid can get up from the stomach even if you don't have symptoms and cause damage. So taking reflux medication is a very smart thing to do.<br /><br />PetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-74274603713978860172017-03-07T16:37:21.507+13:002017-03-07T16:37:21.507+13:00O Chris, I am SOOOOOO Very Proud of you for all of...O Chris, I am SOOOOOO Very Proud of you for all of your hard effort!!!!!!! Bravo, Bravo! I cannot believe you have gone that long and not drank any Coke! That it really amazing. Then you rode your bike again! Perseverance is a wonderful thing . I have been using some liquid Stevia Flavored drops in my water as they come in some neat flavors . I also use maple syrup as my sweetner in some of my drinks and in my homemade ice cream and NOBODY could tell the difference. I like homemade lemonade and I am always experimenting with my tea- I like adding some frozen concentrate to it . My favorite was peach and they quit making it! Grrrrr! Isn't that the way it always is??????????? But really I am jumping for joy with all you have accomplished so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One step at a time. They say it takes 21 days to change an old habit or start a new healthy habit.

My doctor will not give me any more of the medication for reflux because it can cause very serious health issues later in life if taken for an extended time (more than a year), such as liver failure and osteoporosis. Therefore, I had to lose the 20 lbs. I was overweight and eliminate the foods most responsible for reflux - caffeine, carbonated beverages, citrus fruits, tomatoes, sugary food, and chocolate. I've had to raise the head of my bed 8 inches higher than the foot so that food doesn't back up while I sleep. My doctor requires that I have a yearly endoscopy to check for any damage to my esophagus and to rule out cancer. After a period of adjustment, I've managed to control my reflux without medication by adhering to diet restrictions. cat658https://www.blogger.com/profile/01446549610698929541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-22742417443911068812017-03-07T12:48:48.500+13:002017-03-07T12:48:48.500+13:00I only have one can of diet coke a day, now any mo...I only have one can of diet coke a day, now any more than that makes me feel ick.<br /><br />Well done on your stickers - you could make a sticker chart, one for every 500grams lost and another for every bike ride :-)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809180814553643509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-69685302335588040762017-03-07T11:50:31.952+13:002017-03-07T11:50:31.952+13:00Hi I love coke zero and drink quite a lot...I have...Hi I love coke zero and drink quite a lot...I have bought the lightly sparkling spring water from coles in the small bottles, which I am replacing some of the diet coke ...I don't think changing to diet lemonade will make any difference...it it the highly carbonated drinks that cause the reflux..I get heartburn sometimes from the diet coke..<br /><br />I don't like tea or coffee or milk so for me it is just water and coke zero and now the lightly sparkling spring water.

Since I turned 40 I have got reflux from two things I really liked - honey and Diet Coke. :( <br />I have had to accept (2 years after I realised) that I just can't have honey anymore. If it's in a recipe like cake it doesn't bother me but in it's raw form, on toast or anything - instant reflux. <br />I have been chipping away at my DC addiction too. I realised it was ANY diet drink that made me feel terrible, so cut all the others first and am now concentrating on DC. I have given it up before but always gone back to it. Now I know if I want the changes I am making to be permanent I have to let it go and it is a bit scary!<br /><br />You're a smart woman, do some research into DC and you might find the answer to why you (like me) have struggled for so long with your weight. I know the stuff I read made a huge difference to me. <br /><br />I started buying cans, not bottles and have chipped it down to one can a day now. I will buy mini cans next (don't know if you have them in NZ?). Then I will start to crowd it out of my diet by drinking other stuff. At the moment I am water, soda water with some lemon etc and not much else. <br /><br />I also made a list of things that made me feel like crap when I ate them and put it on the fridge. Stuff that I knew gave me reflux, stuff that bloated me up like a freaking balloon. It was hard to say goodbye to it but I did.<br />Not So Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386468255712151377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-75474057501722747782017-03-07T10:25:59.237+13:002017-03-07T10:25:59.237+13:00good on you for making such positive changes and g...good on you for making such positive changes and getting you health under control. It's very hard to do and baby steps is key ie: a bike ride here and less diet Coke there. I limit myself to one can (re cycled) of Coke Zero a day. It's my treat and I look forward to it. Also, funny enough, I have taken up biking as well. Guy just loves to go and if Tom is busy I will join him on a long ride. He's kind to his old mum and only goes slowly LOL xxxxRunning with Scissorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262010458200115362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-36118516262213403172017-03-07T08:09:26.895+13:002017-03-07T08:09:26.895+13:00I don't 'do' Facebook much anymore, bu...I don't 'do' Facebook much anymore, but if you do send me a friend request, send it to 'Crabby Tart'.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-71153679070079563542017-03-07T07:36:24.511+13:002017-03-07T07:36:24.511+13:00I did not know that about a dog's ear hair.
