    Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!

    It sure is quiet in here...where is everyone??

    I hope you guys are quiet because you're gearing up for Mother's Day weekend, and you don't have time to peek in. :)
    Or maybe it's just too early for you today. Rise and shine, losers! ;)

    I'm up and ready to go to the gym for personal training and aquazumba. B)

    At any rate, make it a great day! Stay strong!

    <3 Connie

    We are on a trip that has taken us south through Washington and Oregon to NW California. Yesterday we drove along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Not enough walking but very healthy eating

    Getting ready to go to Yoga class but thought I would stop in and say hay!

    The scale is up today yesterday was not a good staying on track day. Running around and grabbing food
    from here and there. Ate some nuts at night and the scale was up this morning. :s

    Going back to South Beach Diet plan today and hope life doesn't get in the way and stick to it.

    Becky - You are very young grandma. I just got my first grandchild and I am 66. You look fabulous. I hope
    you enjoyed your day.

    hey after a vey stormy night the sun is shinning brightly this morning but more is on the way here this afternoon or evening. needless to say our lakes around here are overflowing.

    <3 Thanks Connie for waking us all up and let us know what day it is. You don't <3 know how much I depend on that

    <3 Shirley Back to your old standby SBD that's good. You always did good on that plan.

    <3 Barbie. When are you heading home. Sounds like you are having fun

    <3 Vicky That West coast trip sounds like an enjoyable one.

    We are off to the grocer store this morning.
    Love to all
    Marie

    @slw19 Surprisingly...I have not been sore. I think it's because I have worked with the personal trainer weight lifting, squatting, and lunging 2x a week since December. The scale is not showing a loss, but my stamina, endurance, and flexibility rocks! B)

    Starting June 15th more classes are being added to Yoga plus after July 4th there will be Yoga on the beach but at
    6:15 am. EEEk!! not a morning person. So I have all sorts of extra classes I can go to.

    Connie - don't forget you are gaining muscle with all those workouts. The scale may up a little for a while.
    But I know you won't get discouraged.

    @SeeAhtter787 Kudos to you..you are whirlwind of multitasking!!!

    @Shirley61 Thanks for the vote of confidence! I do get very discouraged because the scale isn't moving, and there are days I want to just give up, but that's what I have done so many times in the past which is the reason I'm still struggling with this. I'm in for the long haul.

    Now that I have a few minutes to breathe......I am at physical therapy. My therapist is so pleased wiTh my strength that she is willing to turn me loose early. But I said lets just finish it out. I only have 4 visits left anyway. Makes it look good to the doc. So I am definitely ready for surgery she said. And yesterday I hit 13000+ steps!!!!!! But I have had no time for swimming. I really miss it. But I will get a few minutes in tomorrow during lessons with my little one. Can't wait. Then I will do my weigh in for the week as well. On Tuesday it said + 4 but I know I was awfully swollen then so I'm hoping it has come down

    boating season.

    Enjoy your day !

    Shirley, thank you. We are over the moon in love with our grandbabies <3

    Connie, hang in there with not losing. I agree that you are gaining lots of muscle with all the incredible exercising you are doing. Are your measurements showing losses or are your clothes fitting better... those are what you are likely seeing! :-) I admire your incredible determination to stick with it when the scale doesn't want to budge. I also find that SOOOOO hard to do. Boo hiss to scales! LOL :-)

    Well, with my birthday and Mother's Day this week, I know I didn't do as well as I would have liked with eating. However, we had tons of nurses week and finals week pot lucks, cakes and cupcakes. With the exception of one lunch potluck with our LPN students (it meant a lot to them that I join them), I stayed far away from all the rest! So, I consider it a victorious week all things considered! :smiley:

    I will weigh in tomorrow morning, but I know it will be up. I'm hoping to get my resolve back to where it should be starting today. Had a smoothie for breakfast and will do the same for lunch. I feel the need for a bit of detoxing and the smoothies feel really cleansing. I'll eat a regular healthy dinner. One day at a time, one meal at a time, one bite at a time. :-)

    Have a wonderful weekend and a joyful Mother's Day!!! <3<3<3

    Good afternoon, losers! Happy Saturday!

    I got up early, but was sidetracked doing other things..imagine that!

    Hope everyone is having or will have a lovely Mother's Day weekend! <3

    Becky and Shirley..it takes a very long time and copious amounts of protein to actually make any significant muscle gains. I have lost fat according to the body fat calculator, but weight loss has yet to show up on the evil >:) scale. I just have to be patient...sigh. :'(

    @CALIECAT amazingly enough out of 50 dozen cookies I only ate 3 cookies. And that was because they hit my floor. It took all I could muster to not make them my meal. And every good cook needs to taste their wares..... B)
