Michele ... with the kettle bell exercises that Mary has shared, your feet are planted slightly wider than your shoulders and the kettle bell is being lifted/squatted and swung between that space. Those who prefer no shoes contend that a person is less likely to put unnecessary strain on certain muscle groups when wearing no shoes. Most athletic shoes (think cushioned running shoes) have a built up heel base that put the back out of natural alignment for squatting and swinging purposes.
Fat-free Instant Pot Yogurt... I am not impressed. If I had started with fat-free, I probably would think it's great. But I started with the whole milk yogurt process and there's just no comparison. I'll eat this batch of yogurt and then go back to full-fat and just watch what I add in. For a 3 ounce serving, you only save about 21 calories by going fat-free and that's not worth the loss in satisfaction factor in my opinion.
Missing members ... do you all remember the poster from Tasmania (I think) that was a body builder? I can't remember her name. She left after learning her daughter had breast cancer and she would be needed to help her. I've been thinking about her and Mollywhippet and Miriamwithcats ... hoping they're all doing well.

Very busy day again today! Already went out for a walk and after I'm done here I will be swinging my kettle bell. Then I am going to go to the hot tub and swimming for the early afternoon. Followed by corn hole and testicle toss.

Beth I'm with you on the whole milk yogurt--too tasty to trade in. I just eat slightly less of it, it fills me up quickly and just tastes sooooo good. Love it plain or with almond slices for texture.
With DD home I am a little off my schedule but I squeezed in gym time, the snow is heading our way too! Again!!

On Yogurt I buy the Light and Fit Greek 80 calorie yogurt. They have flavors like strawberry cheesecake and keylime. YUM!
On eating the same thing every day This does work good but please take a multi-vitamin as there is no way you will get all the different nutrients you need from eating the same thing every day. Research your needs and what your are getting with what you are eating to be sure you are getting everything you need to be healthy.
Last Week's Stats:
Start weight: 191.6 End weight 189.2
Exercised 3.18 hours last week averaging 27.29 minutes a day. (goal is 30 min a day 7/7)
Veggies averaged 3.43 a day (goal is 4 every day)
Fruit 2.43 (goal is 3 every day)
Dairy 1 a day (met goal)
Yoga (none)
Averages steps walked a day: 7055.7 (met goal of 7,000 a day)
Could have been better but started getting sick Saturday so that day went south very quickly. This past Sunday and Monday calories were way low but exercise and eating goals were no where near where they should be. Not hungry. Coughing and emptying tissue boxes DH and I both!

I always make whole milk yoghurt. I make one batch strained which I use like cottage cheese and one batch in a pot, which I use like cream/yoghurt on fruit. I don't add anything to it as I love tart tastes.
Most afternoons I have some of the strained yoghurt with half an avocado for a snack. Heaven! Lots of freshly ground pepper and some pink, Himalayan salt.

Michele - I think part of the issue was that we got Egg spayed just before we left Texas, and that and eating the other cat's adult cat food put weight on her fast. I think it will all even out once we get settled down somewhere. She's healthy as a horse, so I'm not too worried about her right now. At the moment, she looks like she swallowed a shotput. And feels like it when you pick her up!

@17761776 Gayle, I'm in St. Cloud! Wow! This thread really moves! I had just opened the thread and read your post - but had to leave it to respond later. Yeah, later. The next time I opened MFP there were over 100 new posts. Took me forever to find you again, lol.3

Yes! I think year-round DST would be very beneficial here in Minnesota!

Do any of you find if you eat the same thing over and over that it's easier to stay on task?
Just wondering!
Yes.
I eat pretty much the same thing 5 days a week between the time I start eating in the morning until dinner at about 7:30 or 8 pm. Dinner is different ... my husband makes that so I don't always know what it will be. And then my evening snacks are usually the same.
Weekends are different, but then I exercise a lot more on weekends to make up for it.

Ooh just had a square of lasagna I had cut up and saved in the freezer. So rich and yummy! Hard to zap in the microwave, but I cut it up in the end. Sadly my dinnerware, though microwave safe, is now getting hotter and hotter after being microwaved.
I came back from the library, and got another Debbie Macomber book, and a Susan Mallory book. Both are sappy, comfort food, feel good books, something I need at the hospital.
Heather, so can relate about how hospitals zap your energy! Its a perfect storm place to worry. My husband is laughing with all the stuff I'm taking. I am determined to make use of my time there. I shall use the car as home base to restock etcetera, but I don't plan on visiting the parking garage when its dark! So its a matter of going there in the mornings to swap out my "night bag" that is a blanket, pillow and nightly items (toothbrush, washcloth, hand lotion, and meds), and get my day stuff, tablet, puzzles, book, and breakfast. Check on husband, sit with him, walk around OHSU, go get lunch etc. These types of simple existence for a week! Hoping for a shower when he gets a room. I've got this!
I need to take care of me, so I can take care of husband.

M - <Was the answer "high school"?"> No, you know -- UNI See what we learn from this thread???? Not just good eating/exercising
Yes ... uni. Short for university! Aussies do like to shorten words.
But regarding education, here in Australia we have ...
Preschool
Preparatory (kindergarten)
Primary (year 1 to year 6 or 7)
Secondary or High School (year 6 or 7 to year 10)
College or Senior Secondary (years 11 and 12)
And then ...
Uni ... University
or
VET ... Vocational Education and Training
And just for interest's sake ... the school years do vary slightly between states, but ...
Term 1 (School Start) is around the end of January or beginning of February.
Then there's a break for a couple weeks in April, near Easter
Term 2 starts around the end of April.
Then there's a break for a couple weeks in July, winter break.
Term 3 starts somewhere around the middle of July.
Then there's a break for a couple weeks in early October, spring break.
Term 4 starts somewhere around the middle of October.
Term 4 ends somewhere within a week or 10 days before Christmas, and the kids are off until the end of January or beginning of February.
And my university courses go from around the middle or end of Feb to June (Semester 1) and then again from mid to the end of July to October (Semester 2). Plus there are a few spring and summer courses as well ... I took a summer course in January this year.
So ... if you're coming to visit Australia, the best time to come is about mid-Feb and into March ... when the kids are back in school!

I am a poster from Tasmania who was a body builder.
But I don't have a daughter ... or I should say, I do, by marriage, but she's an adult with a family and I've only met her once.

Hello all:
beautiful day here today. I have DS's puppy here for a few days again while he is in Philadelphia for work. Got DH to PT and ophthalmologist today. I will be so glad when he can begin driving again. He asked me last week what the Dr. had to say after the manipulation. I told him I got the impression that he didn't think it was going to do a lot of good because he wouldn't follow through on exercises. That made DH mad so he is actually doing exercises although not as often as he should. He is out to show the Dr. that he is wrong. Yeah for me!
DD and I got lots of things done this weekend with the nice weather. We took a load of junk to the dump and got a lot of yardwork done with the nice weather. We almost have our riding arena back. We both have sore muscles from all the work.
Leslie was the lady from Tasmania that lifted weights. She was a body builder until cholesterol meds caused muscle wasting. I think she used screen name Lestan or something like that.
I also hope former members are doing well.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA7 -

Beth- corn hole is commonly known as bean bag toss and testicle toss is the balls that you throw on that ladder type thing. The lady from Tasmania hasn't been on for quite a while! I can't remember her name. Definitely miss the other ladies as well.3
