I have been doing MFP and fitbit now for a couple of years but have not got involved in chatting. My number one goal for March is to try and get moving. Where I live in Ontario is cold and snowy so have not done a lot of walking this winter. I planned to but never followed through. The snow for the most part is gone so now I have no reason. I have managed to get out walking now for 3 days in a row. If I can keep pushing through March the weather usually turns in April and before you know it my bike can come out. I do love biking but live in quite a hilly terrain, its an amazing workout once you get used to pumping up all the hills. Does not matter in what direction I bike, I am greeted by hills. So looking forward to Spring and warmer weather.

Did Beach Core Pilates DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do part of a 10 Minute Yoga Fix DVD, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.

Almost forgot that I was supposed to go to a memorial service for a gal from Newcomers so hurried up and took a shower, fixed my hair. On the way there stopped and got a sympathy card. Went to the service. I didn't realize that the service was going to be at the church's regular Sunday service, I thought it would be a service just for her. The mass was in her memory. Afterwards went to the repast. Had 2 pieces of barbecue chicken (small pieces), they had this shrimp and pasta so had the shrimp, tried this cauliflower pancake (it was pretty good), had some salad and fruit. I did splurge and have a bit of peach cobbler and a little of the strawberry/banana pudding. I didn't realize the strawberries were all throughout it, I thought they were just on top. Came home and had dinner, now here, then I'll watch some TV and get to bed.

Maybe instead of doing a little yoga on Mnday mornings, I should think about hula hoop. An idea

Vicki - how wonderful living in Italy. What brought you to Italy? Congrats on the losses

Lisa in NC for 40 more days - what a great visual of your weight journey! I'm so impressed

katla - feel better fast

Had that black bean burger yesterday at the Biltmore. It's just amazing how many calories are in a black bean burger. I would never have thought there'd be that many

allie - what a great present you got yourself. You deserve it. Glad you're OK after your tumble

Iam - welcome to a great group! Where are you planning to go?

Welcome anyone else new that I may have missed.

Michele in NC for the long haul

Welcome to the group! I too have a hard time making new friends at this stage of my life. I live on the north coast in Rochester NY -- not as far north as the nice Canadian ladies in here but still far away from any hurricane zones.
Having a frustrating time with the DH knee situation-- just as it seemed the knees were feeling a bit better he developed fluid in the one leg. Going to call the doc tomorrow. I read that it was a good idea to elevate and also to try some exercise so I hauled him off to the gym today but he only lasted five minutes before it started hurting too much. Feel so bad for him. They already ruled out a blood clot.
Otherwise it was a beautiful sunny cold day which I mostly spent inside cooking. Made broccolinI with pine nuts and grilled lemons, hummus, tabouli and roast chicken with sumac.
Now trying to stay away from food so I can get bloodwork done tomorrow morning.
Thanks to Barbie for the March link and the wise counsel!

Rita, Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day.

Allie, hope you don’t wake up to any bruises from your fall. I bet Alfie was worried.

Becca, if I looked that good after a makeover I’d put it as my MFP pic. Lol

Welcome newbies!

Snowed most of the afternoon and still coming down. If it keeps up we will have about a foot by morning.

DH and I went to lunch at a local place we like to go to. Then the bookstores. I found ar couple of used books. Also went to an antique store but didn’t find any old jewelry to mix with my chainmaille jewelry. I’ll keep looking until I find just the right thing. My brass jump rings should be here tomorrow I hope. I’m itching to work on something.

Still feeling like a big ole failure food wise. I’m eating like I did a year ago before I started MFP. So discouraging. I just have to get back on track. Once again tomorrow is a new day to get my buns in gear. Send me some good thoughts ladies.

Off to bed and book. Fresh sheets tonight. One of my most favorite things.

Hugs, Terry in snowy VT

Good evening ladies! I so love that you all keep me company on my walks. Too many notes for tonight's time. But know that I read all your stories and comments.

Rita- Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the newbies! This is a great group of women. Lots of great support can be found here. They will make you life, make you cry, and kick you in the butt if you need it. Welcome!

My to do list for today changed up, but for the good. No paper scanning done. It will wait for a rainy day. I ended up dusting and vacuuming house. Laundry almost done. Kitchen cleaned up. Decluttered guest bedroom wall. Now it needs painting badly. That will be a fall project while the husband is hunting. I hate painting when he is home as he supervises and wants to end early. I want the job done, so will go until it is done. I know that in the winter especially if I have had the curtains closed for too many days in a row, the house starts to feel gloomy. Kind of like it needs some sunshine even if we aren't home to see. Well, today, it just screamed at me to dust and vacuum it. I know it sounds strange, but it feels happier and more peaceful. Happy with the day

I hope your weekend was all you wanted. Paying a couple of bills, then heading to bed. Trying to get that 7 hours of sleep.

I am going to go pick the hula hoop off the floor for five minutes.

I catch up on these posts while DH watches TV, and to keep my mind off getting a snack. I love the pet photos. We had a Labrador a while ago, best dog ever! It's been a few years since she's been gone and I've been dragging my feet about getting another dog. Our new agreement is a new kitchen and flooring first. (Otherwise, nothing will get done!)
Turkey slider sounds good! Love cranberries!
Signed up with a gym primarily for the classes. I've been to 2 of them and boy, did I feel the burn! I'm better at following than relying on myself to do what I've been shown. Plus I hope to get better socializing with people I don't know, and getting the thoughts out of my head.
I made a rough menu for the week ahead. I say rough because it's subject to change. I absolutely hate cooking, but if I have an idea, I'm less likely to have junk.
TTFN!

This morning ...

• 2 hour lecture at university
• 5 km walk
• a little bit of grocery shopping at a place I only stop at when I'm walking between university and work ... they've got one or two things which are different from our usual grocery store
• a glance at cycling shoes in the bicycle shop I passed ... I need some with a wider toe box
• and work!

OK, now to get started on the afternoon!!


Oh ... good news ... I'm down 2.5 kg from the peak I hit when we returned from our holiday in Victoria. I had gained 1 kg on that holiday, which I suspect was water weight, so ... I might actually be down 1.5 kg in weight.


Welcome to all the newcomers ... just jump right in and start posting. I usually skim everyone's comments and if there is something I'd like to reply to, I'll do that. Plus I post some of my exercise stats and a few other things.

I really like hearing what people are doing for exercise, sports and activities. We've got a few here who train for marathons, epic hikes, long distance cycling, and other adventures!
