Tex...um what exactly IS low glycemic? I've cut most of my sweets if that counts. I have a severed nerve in my lower back which nukes exercise so I've had to rely just on dieting. But I did get the weight I put on OFF and then some, but I gotta find something more livable than this for long term.

Funny you should say that...I pulled out my last jar of the sugar free apple butter last nite (when I was looking to see if I had any of the barbeque sauces left but no SOB). I still have one with sugar but we'll let that go for now lol. The calories really aren't that bad on it, and I'm thinking of using it as a baking sauce for chicken. Sounds tasty no?!

Edited to add: I also pulled out a jar I was saving of the MOST delish Real Bacon Dressing, but not sure it's looking so great. But it's still sealed so wondering if it's ok. Man I would love just one salad with it on it, calories be damned! lol

I'll look for the pix later and send you some :)

Thanks! I've got to go start fixing supper for my working guys anyway. They want fried potato's. Sometimes men (husbands at least) are so cruel! :)

Lurk, I don't know if this would work for you or not, but our city has rec centers with indoor pools. You can get an exercise flotation belt which will keep you suspended in the water in a vertical position so that you can actually walk or run in the water without ever hitting the ground. The water provides resistance so a walk through the water is more beneficial than a walk on land and, with no impact, painless. Forget that "no pain - no gain" stuff -- not so.

WOW!! I'm glad so many people could give Aus info on Stroudsburg. It is a small world!!

And hi to Teddysmom! It looks like our Philadelphia link is growing. :) What suburb are you from, teddys? (Cause there's only a million or so of them, LOL).

Great idea Laisey, thanks! Last time I checked all the pool prices were sky high (including the various Y's) but wonder now that the economy stinks if there are any better alternatives. I would LOVE to do something that would allow me to tone up and maybe even burn some calories.

My pain MD is currently changing hospital's and won't be set there till the middle of this month, but I've already told him I want to talk about some PT possibilities. The pain PT specialist at the old hospital tried to kill me (and I guess others as they fired her lol). But I'd be willing to give that a shot too...but don't know what their resources are. He's moving from a big name Boston hospital to a smaller hospital on the edge of Boston. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Aus10, they are comming out to visit me here in Arkansas on Thursday!! Yippie! ( they are 16 & 14 and I haven't seen them in 4 years since they vivisted me in California!) I will ask them.

There are several High Schools in the area. I went to Stroudsburg (way back when) and there are 2 East Stroudsbug High Schools now. Not to mention about 5 others in a 15 mile radius.

I'm glad I could provide the info.

Lurk, I hope you find something. It's done wonders for me. I'm amazed at how much firmer my arms and legs are (some other body parts too). My former doctor recommended this - due to a broken ankle some years ago and two screws holding my leg bones together sometimes walking is painful and it is so good to let the water and the belt support me. BTW, are we OT? lol

LOL Laisey no more off topic than my earlier discussion of Amish Peach Barbque sauce (um does that make it right?) Not to mention the Chinese food chat hehe

But in some way shape or form this all relates to where we are from and what is in those areas? RIGHT?!?!

Lurk, absolutely right. Check your city's website under something like parks and recreation. I didn't even know Virginia Beach (got that plug in) provided these facilities until my doctor told me about them. As a senior I pay the outrageous sum of $30 a year ($37 for those under 50). In addition to a giagantic pool, there is a fitness room with all sorts of exercise equipment and weights, a racquetball court, and a gym with 2 basketball courts. There was even a state wheelchair basketball tournament last year (shades of Eddie - see, that's BB related).

ok Ms. Lurk, I think you have turned this into a "What do you eat in the place that you are from?" thread!:)
That said, here's some more synchronicity...I just finished watching Food Finds on Food Network and wanted to send away for an order of homemade Amish noodles!!!!Go to food network for ordering info, if you really want some... AND....just after that I called to try to get some PT set up!! I noticed someone doing pool therapy, so you might be able to get some pool PT going and have insurance cover it as treatment...

and btw, i believe we spent our birthdays last year at the same place!! This year i went to the hospital to see my dad, and then quick supper at Bertucci's...not as much fun, and no volcanoes on the wall) It was the 4th, btw, to answer your question, but thats way off topic..

Anyways, yes they are open til 3, like in Boston, but I think around 1, you get more choice.. and its the same exit as Joes.. Washington Street just a tiny tiny bit up from the mall, just past Joes on the other side of the street.. I dont know if you are closer to Framingham but i swear that i heard that there was dim sum somewhere there..

actually, for all you people looking for any sort of food anywhere, there is a decent website called chowhounds.com where people search for and recommend restaurants all over the country, and maybe canada too. They are anti chains, and tend to ask things like where can I go north of (fill in your city) to get the best pizza, fried clams, bagels, brunch. etc etc.. Maybe even peach barbecue sauce!

Donut, I'm in Needham at the Dedham line (literally right off 128), so probably about 50/50 but I head to Natick a lot. BUT I know a GREAT chinese buffet with lobster (big pieces not those shards some put out) in Ashland at the Framingham line for $12, and the rest of the food is great too, so would be hard to go there and not go to Cherry Blossom.

Thanks for the info! I am not sure I ever set foot in the Woburn Mall. If I'm heading that way I just go to Burlington. Boy that Macy's has had GREAT sales...one step up from free!

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope things aren't too bad. But at least Bertucci's is great too...you HAVE had the Grilled Rosemary chicken sandwich on onion foccaccia I hope. I think it is close to perfection LOL. But HAPPY BELATED!!!!!

I actually still have the card from the best Amish roadside stand I went to...they ship, but never tried them. The company I loved used to be online but so far I haven't been able to find them. Think I'll call them first and if they aren't available hunt for card and see how it works. I'm not sure if they share a phone with others (a lot of Amish do that for business) or if I have to write. But if I order from them I'm waiting till later in the summer when they will have more stuff preserved!

And I love your twist on the catagory..so we are TOTALLY on topic. Right?!?!?! hehe Although I notice you have blamed ME! Well I started this mess so doesn't that give me the right to mess with my own question?! hehe

Hey Katbee! Yes, I saw that you were from El Paso! Wish we were closer so we could have a BB get-together. (only 4 hours away - lol) Nice to meet you! Hubby and I will be in El Paso on the 25th to pick up our son and grandson at the airport. :o)
