Happy Birthday Barbara1

I keep replying to people in February!Happy March ladies,
Becca, my DD is 35 in July and not found “the one” yet. She has gone on line recently and had a few dates. She is going out on Friday with a 27 year old. I told her “too young”! But there is a 32 and 37 year old she has been texting with so fingers crossed. Doesn’t look like I’ll ever be a grandmother as she is my only one. I can’t think about it as t makes me so sad. I was looking forward to that. But never say never. I’m self sabotage too. Good positive thinking.
Terry -- I didn't have my first until after I had just turned 35. Had my second just before I turned 40, and had my third just before I turned 46. Never say never.
Felicia, almost always first mistaken for my youngest's grandmother.

Did 1/2 hr Rejuvination Total Body Toning DVD and then 1/2 hr Karen Voit Slim Physique Upper and Lower Body DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do the Muffin Top Meltdown DVD.
Becca - lovely table!
hearingyou - I need to log and measure, or like you I would find myself over guesstimating. To send an invitation to someone to be friends, click on the picture of their name, then on the next screen click on their name, the following screen you will find 2 boxes "view diary" and "add as friend". I just find it helpful when I click on "add friend" in the message I send to people I usually put "50+" Then at least they know where they know me from. And, no, you don't have to be a paying member.
Sharon - boo you not being on STD. I mean Short Term Disability (pip - get your mind out of the gutter....lol)
Tomorrow I'm supposed to go to the Biltmore Estate with a friend of mine. Went to the bank today since I know we're going to have lunch there tomorrow, saw Lynette for a real little bit, then volunteered at the Green Room. Called ACMoore to see about a cake decorating class and found out that Wilton is pulling out of all the craft stores in the area and this class will no longer be offered. Boo
Vince is still walking around "I fee like crap". Honestly, he's sick and the world has to come to an end. I can't afford to get sick. Newcomer bowling tonight. My sinuses are still acting up so I'll probably take water with me and maybe chew on a piece of gum -- the decongestant dries me out so much
Slept very little last night. Decongestants do that to me. Now it's catching up with me. As I sit at the computer I can feel my head drooping.
Rye - impressive collection of books. Thanks for explaining what "close your rings" meant. I was wondering
Wendy - so many times I do something out of haabit and don't remember that I did it. Like coming back from FL I couldn't remember if I put my toiletries in the suitcase along with my curling iron. Of course, I did. It was just habit
Allie - I must have missed it -- what's the scoop with the lawyer?
Barbara - It's your bithday! I must have missed that, too. Happy birthday!
Felicia - no matter how hard I tried, I could never ever do crow.

Janet, I’m so proud of you and your weight loss efforts.
Heather, the new house is cute as can be. It seems big!
My goals for March are to walk at least 25 days of the 31, do weight training at least 12 times, and to finish “The Purpose Driven Life.” Also, I want to continue with the habits that are fairly engrained of decluttering, bullet journaling, logging my food. I am failing miserably at getting enough sleep, but my body naturally wakes up, so I’m going to not worry about that one for a while. Giving up soda for Lent has been going well. Hopefully I won’t miss it come Easter.
My master bath is coming along. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of next week. Then the fun starts all over again with the hall bath. The shower and tub are looking good. I can’t wait to see the floor, but of course that will be the last thing. This guy is great, and so worth none of those others working out. He is not only a great craftsman, but just a truly nice guy who seems to love us.

Heather - your prospective home is wonderful! Love the expansive windows and the fenced garden! The light must be fantastic. The light in a shore area always has a special quality.
Lisa - your AR rental property looks perfect: a beautiful view and lots of privacy.
Big windstorms moving in tonight. PupPup & I will run errands and fill the gas tank ahead of the storm, and hopefully get in a short walk.

I was looking at a link someone gave me for a 5 week kettlebell program but I’m finding a bit confusing. Also it seems to be intermediate rather than beginners. Anyone have another idea for me.1

Terri ... Me too! I want to start kettleballs but need to start really slowly. Mary?
Wendy ... thank you for posting Jessamy's TED talk! Heather ... one would never know that your DIL had not done public speaking before! Thoroughly enjoyed her talk ... and need to share it.
Barbie ... Happy Birthday! And thank you for keeping our group moving along!
Sharon ... I am sorry that you need to be on disability and hope that you can get approved for disability benefits soon! Congratulations to your daughter! An art show of that size is quite an accomplishment! I loved the painting that you shared with us.
Heather ... your potential new home is lovely! Location, location, location! Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes smoothly!
Rye ... do you use a weighted hula hoop? I have one ... I think it might be too heavy ... it beats me up something fierce! And I am not good at keeping it up.
Pat ... so sorry you and your family have been having such a difficult time health wise ... here's to a healthy month for you and yours!
I don't remember what my February Goals were which goes to show you that I wasn't putting effort into them either then. But it is always my goal to be lighter ... and that I accomplished in the last 10 days of February.
So my March Goal is to be lighter at the end of the month ... taking it one day at a time ... which I WILL (my word for the year).
Went grocery shopping as my DH has been complaining about the lack of food choices. I confess we had gotten to bare bones. Today, however, I also took inventory of the freezers. These were packed and I need to start preparing meals based off of their contents.
We are expecting a doozy of a storm tonight into tomorrow. I was really hoping that the snow was done, but they're anticipating anywhere between 8 and 16 inches ...
Beth near Buffalo where it started snowing at precisely the time they predicted!5 -

Some of you may remember my disappointment in January when my faithful pedometer wouldn't download the data to my computer. I solved the problem by creating an excel spreadsheet to keep track of my steps, total the numbers, and provide an average steps for the month. Even so I tried a few times a week to download data and a few weeks ago, the process worked. Nevertheless, I've continued to enjoy my spreadsheet because it's easy to access and allows me to see daily what my step average was for the month. Yesterday I realized that I wouldn't reach the artificial goal I'd set for myself so I spent half an hour before bedtime walking back and forth in the house while listening to an audio book so I'd get the needed steps. My step goal for the month was 15,000 steps a day but in December and January I'd gotten over 17,000 steps a day average and I decided that I couldn't go to bed without reaching that goal again.
I've done that during my workplace annual step challenge in October.
I also keep track of my exercise on a spreadsheet. I've been keeping track of my cycling that way since 2000, and on paper before that, some of which I've entered into spreadsheet too. I've been keeping track of walking and other exercise since I joined MFP in 2015. So the numbers and totals I post are actually copied and pasted from my spreadsheet.Machka, I don't think I've told you how much I enjoy reading your accounts and statistics of your bike riding. I admire your consistency and the way you ride day in and day out even with the challenges and demands of your work and school schedule.
Thanks! All the cycling and walking etc. actually helps keep me sane. I need to be active, preferably outside, to allow me to think through what I need to do and get things in order.
And when I'm working on long projects day after day at work or university which don't seem to be coming together the way I like and the end is not in sight ... going out for a decent bicycle ride gives me a feeling like I've finished something and accomplished something at last, and then I can go back to the project and feel a bit refreshed with it. Plus I may have thought of a different way to approach it.Barbie from beautiful NW Washington
Is it your birthday? If so ... Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the good wishes. DD stopped in on her way home from the hospital. To be honest,I admit to not knowing much more than when SIL was admitted.
DD is satisfied with his care,so we are just hoping he is better soon.After parking On hospital property,it’s a 25 min walk to his room.
BETH,it’s sounding like a huge storm in your area.Hunker down & stay safe.
BARBARA,Happy Birthday To You.5 -
