Janet, I'm not only impressed with your workout, but you know the names of the exercises. Our trainer says them, then most promptly go out of my memory. Ex: here are mine. 3 sets of 15 all
Knee push-ups
Chest press with 10 lb Dumbbells lying on flat bench
Inclined bench, two exercise. I think one was still called chest press, the other was something like fly with a twist????? I did 10 lbs first set, 8 lbs second, 5 lbs third.
Two exercises with the pulley. One you faced away from the machine and pulled over your head. The other you faced the machine, pulled the rope down around mid thigh, then curled up to your waist and back down. I did 30 lbs first set, then dropped to 20. I was "taking it easy" since I gave blood yesterday. It would sound so much more impressive if I just knew their names. Sigh!0 -
Chris, good to hear from you. Just keep on keeping on. Sometimes it's all we can do.
The Real Mrs. Wolf, condolences on the loss of your kitty. We lost ours last May. Today we got a free cat food sample in the mail. Such a sad reminder. Luckily, our DD has a kitty we can pass the free sample on to.
Somebody asked for a picture of the purple pants. This isn't the most flattering of pictures. I am horrible at selfies, but here you go.

Hi gals,
Rori – hang in – glad you found help there too.
Anne – wish I could share – you could eat ½ of the crap I eat under stress, and we’d both be healthier!
Janetr – that’s a doable price!
Barbie – welcome home -great picture!
Heather - Huge Kudos and NSV for you to stay in the moment, deal with what came up, and being thankful you have the strength to do this… Relationships are often 80% / 20% and the trick is taking turns at who is doing the 80% this was just your turn….
Alison - I loved Pip’s take on Tom, but then Lisa topped Pip – tabasco in his tighty whities!!!
Lisa – love the fun sized tshirt!
Penny – power outage! How is your home heated? The sunlight festival is perfect!
Ms.Wolf - I’m so sorry – ((((Hugs)))))
Sue - The not breathing well is scary – calling for a sooner appointment is not unreasonable.

I have read up to date.
I'm on my phone so this will be brief!
Hopeful Joy
Lightheartedness, elation,
happiness sublime
are what I aspire to
until the end of time.
It isn't always easy
to keep the spirits high.
Concentrated fortitude
can often pass us by.
But, always, I remember
what grandmama would say.
"Count your blessings daily
and troubles fly away."
I follow this advice from her
through both good times and bad,
Finding comfort in her words,
especially when I'm sad.
Often on the darkest day,
when inward tempests rage,
all her wise words come to mind
illuminate the stage,
the life and death performance,
with the promise and the hope
that chases all the shadows,
allowing me to cope.

Hugs and prayers to those who are ill! 
Welcome to our Newbies! 
Well done, Losers and Movers!

So sorry for the loss of your kitty, ms. Wolf
Okay, dd is slightly better, at least keeping down food, BUT now i have the crud...+ laryngitis + dh has a chest cold....we are all snuggled up far away from each other!!
Karen from ny0 -
You guys are wonderful! Thank you for your kind thoughts. I should mention that her brothers are still fit as fiddles, so I will continue to get kitty love, just not hers. Kristan 0

Irish Terri ... Love the poem! Thank you.
Betb0 -
So much activity here! I cannot keep up.
Kristan so sorry you lost Zoso!
Just sending out the best vibes I can to people who are suffering loss and experiencing setbacks. I have been a bit weepy myself--so hard to crawl out of it sometimes, but crawl we must.
Really loved Penny's sun story-- what a wonderful tradition!
I did my lunch walk today, but wish I was ready to go to the Y-- maybe tomorrow. It really helps to have that hard-driving music in my ears on that elliptical. Need to get serious about burning more calories! If I can manage to not snack for the next couple hours I can be under goal for today...
Hugs to all!

Hello ladies sorry to see so many of you feel sick. We have a bug that hit at work they are dropping like flies. So far I have been lucky. They had a big wipe down with Clorox wipes today to try and stop it as best they can.
All the motivation out there to workout no matter what is going on is so positive. I wish I was more positive at this time. Some really nice weight loss numbers out there.
My friend has challenged me to post one postive quote or saying on FB each and everyday and try and believe what it says no matter how difficult it is. Going to try it and see if it helps. I have to try and do something.
The Storm Damage I had on my house while on my cruise can be repaired so no major financial hit for that so I am grateful for that. With my daughter getting married in June I have been worried about that.

DrKatie - you crack me up. I only know the names cuz I look at them on-line while I'm doing them. Name, description and pictures.
Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your picture in the purple pants. Look great.

Sylvia, what is this world coming to? I was just reading my local news at mainstreetnews.com and one of the stories was about someone shooting a cat with an arrow. This particular cat's owner found him and was able to get him to a vet who removed the arrow. The cat is expected to make a full recovery. I wish this could be the same cat, but I live several states away from you.0

RealMsWolfI am so sorry for the loss of your furbaby Zoso. {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}
[Dr Katiebug] Congratulations on the smaller cuff and the PURPLE PANTS. I am not so brave to wear bright colors yet. Best of all, THANK YOU for donating blood. Our family ( DGD with cancer) has been the beneficiary of selfless contributors just like you.
Katla It really seems as if the VW customers are bearing the burden of the recall, not the company.
If you message me with your address, I will send you some saffron. I bring it back to the US when I go to Turkey.
Gloria Do tell! we are all on the edge of our seats waiting for the tuba story.
SylviaNot only are you are devoted grandmother, wife and friend to humans, you are a true friend to animals. Poor Kitty. I sincerely hope that it has been rescued or out of its pain. The person who did this needs to be arrested and subjected to the full extent of the law.
Let us know how your sore throat is and how you are feeling.
Heather I am so sorry that your DH seems to unload on you. You are so strong and seem to know exactly what to do in every situation. You have so much happening - DS job, impending birth of another grandchild, yet you remain so cherry and supportive of everyone here.
The smoked paprika on lentils sounds delicious. Lentil is my absolute favorite soup ( or in my case stew as I believe that good soups should be eaten with a fork). These fowl also are delaying the inevitable.
KJL Ducks in a row! How cute and appropriate. I wish I could see this. You are obviously a very gifted teacher of small children.
Allison10,000 steps and more and more exercise. I am impressed.
Barbiethe Robert Louis Stevenson quote is one that we all can use. Thank you.
Pip Congratulations on the all the house and yard work. Now you can relax and enjoy your beautiful surroundings.
CheriMazel Tov on both the exercising and the bris. And good luck to your DH.
LinnellaI am jumping for joy for you also. What an achievement in such a very short time.
MindyI didn't hear a rant. What I hear is the anguish of a mother whose DD refuses to accept help. From experience, sometimes it is far better to say, these are the house rules, and if you do not want to follow them, then you will need to find another place to live. For too long, our family tried to help a family member who did not want to be helped. It affected 3 generations. For your own protection and health, please get some support. I know so many families who have been robbed of their life savings or who have lost jobs because they are unable to deal with the family member and a job and the rest of life. You are making some really important steps, financial and health. Please do not let DD sabotage your own progress while you are just starting out.
Penny What a happy celebration. I loved the sun collars. I can relate to the age of the "kids" showing up for snacks.
DJ I hope your back recovers soon. Who knew that line dancing could be so dangerous? Tell that floor to behave.
Mary You have such fortitude and sticktoittiveness. I would not think of traveling with exercise equipment.
BeccaWhat a soothing presence you must have been for everyone entering the lobby and waiting area. What a wonderful inspiration.
I agree with you that religion probably is not appropriate for a TOPS meeting. It is something so personal. In today's political climate, I am very surprised that it would be included in a meeting.
Vicki Triply short-handed? How awful. It will be so difficult for you, the remaining staff and everyone you are looking after. Is there a temp agency that can be used for extra help until some new people are hired?
ChrisWe are here for you in the darkest times as well as times of celebration. Just let us know what we can do.
Yvonne in TX Feel better soon.
Sue This is long distance assistance with those barn chores. Is the change of location ( grass, mud, climate) responsible for the breathing difficulties?
Terri R The poem is simply lovely. I never know my grandmothers. However, I feel that I would like to borrow yours. May I?
I was feeling really horrible this morning. The cough was nonstop and I did not feel like walking at all. Instead, I jumped on a horse this afternoon. I was coughing and sneezing while cleaning the horse and tacking up, but as soon as I started a lesson, the coughing, wheezing and sneezing stopped. This was the best lesson yet. I did not stop even once except when we walked the horse to give her a rest a one point since it was the first really warm day and we did not want to overheat her. Then it was back to trotting and exercises to prepare me for jumping. It is all starting to come back and I have only been at this once a week for a month. I think that losing weight and walking almost every day have made such a big difference. Strangely enough, when I got back in the barn, I started coughing again and have not stopped since. Hmmmm.......

Jake is gone for two nights to Seattle for a medical procedure. I stay home to take care of the dogs. He'll stay in a hotel that's part of the hospital and the procedure will be tomorrow afternoon. Today after line dance class we drove to the ferry (about 90 minute away). He walked onto the ferry and then took a cab to the hospital. On Friday, he'll take a cab back to the ferry, walk onto the ferry and I'll pick him up there after my line dance class. It's very stormy today and the pets are agitated by the wind and by their dad not being home. Barbie from windy NW Washington

Did an hour of extremecardio DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jari Love's 1000 DVD
Sylvia - how wonderful that you looked for the kitty, but sad you didn't find it.
Alison - like how you're getting to the gym. Yours opens that early? How long does it take you to get there?
linnillal - doing a happy dance for you
DJ - how I wish Vince would exercise, even walk on the treadmill. But, alas, he's waiting for "vitamin E" to come out....lol Sorry to hear about your back
TheRealMsWolf - <crying with you>
Mary - it always seems, at least for me, that exercising and working thru when you are not feeling well always helps. Sometimes you just need to go at a lower intensity, but doing it helps. Good for you!
Yvonne - get better fast. That is NOT the way to lose weight
Made the middle layers of the wedding cake today. I'll just put them in the freezer.
Went to ceramics then to Lowes foods. Tonight was NOT a good night. First they wouldn't accept my coupons, I was made to feel like some sort of cheat, then come home to find that the beads I have been using were knocked on the floor by one of the cats and the guy forgot to take off the one coupon that they would have accepted. I'm making these beaded banners, only I'm having the hardest time getting it started. I think from now on I'm only going to go shopping for what I absolutely need, especially if Vince is with me.
The one good thing about the new medication is that I seem to have lost almost all desire for sweets. There are brownies in the house, I have no desire for even a little bit of one.
Mikesmom - come in often, we're here
Karen, CSSJ and Sue - now you all get better
Think tomorrow I'll make some Irish Soda Bread to take to bowling, then the remainder I will give away or give to the gals where I take the extremepump

Stormy days take their toll on my dog too. She can sleep through it but refuses to go outside. To much wind rain or snow and she will hold it for 12+ hours. Good luck to Jake. Braver than I would be going by himself. I am a big giant chicken.

There was a goof-up today and one of my desktop files disappeared. It was the folder I use for MFP! I found it in the trash. I wonder how that happened? Luckily, I found my lost folder. :bigsmile:0
