    I got the go-ahead to "be more active" as my ankle and ligaments are healing so well from my fall 3 weeks ago! I got a few new tops at Dress Barn and on the way home from work, I get to pop into a kiddie birthday party !!!!!

    I walked to a farther subway stop so I could get a seat on the subway. I never liked standing on the train, even when my ankle was healthier!

    Today is my first real lunch break, and I'm going to the library; I got books and dvds on hold !

    Today, I want to walk to the top of the mountain. It's not a very big mountain. But I think it's time to do this.

    Did it. I've lived in this neighborhood for 17 years and I finally did it!

    Fantastic!

    My goal today is to go back to the treadmill..............it's been a long time but for some reason I want to. It'll be after circuit training and weights so maybe only 10 or 15 minutes but I'm going to do it!

    What I want to achieve today: Going shopping with the hubby today. I want to find ski bibs to wear for an upcoming ski trip with friends that don't cost to much. Looking forward to an active get-away where I can burn calories and have fun with friends all at the same time.

    I walked to the farther away subway station again. That's going to be most of my exercise for a while; I'm going right home after work today and I'm resting tomorrow and probably Sunday too.

    Next week I have a bunch of things planned, by then my ankle will be a month old !

    Mission accomplished. :) Ski pants purchased and they were on sale. BAM!

    Got my treadmill walk in yesterday but I really don't like it very much. During my weight training I ran around the basketball court at the gym several times and I really like that much better so I'm not sure the treadmill will become part of my regimen..... B)

    Today is a "rest day", but I'm hitting 4 different stores plus the flower shop in prep for the wedding. We're not having it catered (cooking here), so I'm beginning to purchase supplies, at least the non-perishable ones.

    So today's goal is just to get some of that done and get some steps in!

    Thanks, it's gonna be rough I think but I'm hiring a couple of people to help. We're keeping is pretty simple and it's a smallish wedding..............around 60 in our backyard. I'm just hoping the weather cooperates............wish they would have waited until May or June.....LOL

    Got to work with a load of library books, dvds, my pears for the week, yogurt for the week, and bananas for the week. The bag was a little too heavy for my broken ankle; thankfully I sat on the subway commute!

    Today I hit TJ Maxx and after work, have my eyelashes tinted and my brows waxed. Plenty of exciting activity for me, after being sedentary for an entire month !!!!

    I'm hoping to get the dog out this morning for a walk/run and increase the amount of time I run............last week was 7 minutes running of 50 minutes. I ran on the basketball court at the gym yesterday and managed about 10 minutes so this should be doable. I'm trying to convince myself I enjoy running....... ;)

    I tweaked something in my shoulder Friday so I'm not faring too well this week strength wise although I'm trying to keep up with some kind of routine. Still going to the gym 3 days but doing things a bit differently to rest the arm. Oh well, injuries seem to come with the territory, guess it's my age......LOL

    Today I'd like to focus on not eating after dinner. Suggestions on what works for others would be appreciated :)

    My cast comes off next week and I start physical therapy soon. The dr says to move more, so I'm deciding what I want to do over Martin Luther King's weekend ... Trader Joe for sure !!!!!

    I try to save room for at least a little snack after dinner but if not then I generally have a cup of chamomile tea, and sometimes put a little bit of honey in it. It satisfies me this time of year.

    I've found that if I don't short myself on calories during the rest of the day I'm usually not hungry after dinner and we also don't keep a lot of snacky foods in the house to tempt me.....:)

    I've been having quite a bit of shoulder pain since Friday so today, although I'm going to the gym, I'm going to lay off arms and try to still get a good workout in. I made an appointment to see our local shoulder guy in a couple of weeks if it's not better......:(

    I got mostly enough sleep and am up with enough time to do yoga before work.
    After work, I plan to take a mile-long walk at the park.

    Right, I agree. Save something for after dinner. Or ... are there nights you go out, that don't involve food?

    The nights I went to the gym right after work, and came home with just enough strength to eat dinner and go to bed, were nights I didn't snack. That was helpful to me.

    Thanks, tea does sound like a good, I'll try that. Guess 8 didn't really think about saving some calories for a snack, duh! I always crave sweets, so ill have to figure out something low cal but sweet. ..

    One of the firefighters at my department took this picture of a really old guy ignoring the concepts of time and physics, and doing rack pulls at 275.

    295, not 275, I mis-mathaficated. I really am turning into a meat-head.

    Heavy lifts have that effect. Eventually you might start picking things up and forgetting to put them down.
