I love March! In my head, I always think that Spring weather is just around the corner. Of course, in Utah, it usually isn't. However, hope springs eternal in my heart!

Thanks Sandy for the new month. A new month and a new healty way of eating. Lets go girls!!
Thanks Xyla for taken the time to help me. I do plan on starting a walking routine Got to work on my menu for tomrrow and send it to Xyla. Talk to you all later0 -
WOW! MARCH! While most of us are looking forward to Spring, Judy has Winter coming. Weird :ohwell:
I hope everyone at least checks in. With all of the weather situations, it's kind of scary not to hear from someone. For those of you who may believe in the Rapture, pack your bags :drinker:
Sandy: Making your uncle smile...that's a gift, you make me smile too. Your lost story was so funny. I once went with my Pastor's wife to VA to visit her daughter and we got lost. We drove round and round, it was now dark and decided to just knock on a door and ask for help. Can you believe it,,,,,,it was their house!!! We almost fell off the porch!! :laugh:
Connie: Earthquakes all around you, how do you sleep at night? And where do you get all of your energy to do all of this exercise???? Is it in the cheese??? Gimme some !!!!:drinker:
Marie: Tell Jerry that we are all thinking of him in regards to his sister. I am thinking of my aunt who will be gone 1 year on the 3rd. I know she's in a better place but she left me and the rest of her family here to miss her. And tell Jerry's Dr to get on the stick! You can't be too nice with them, you have to almost be a mean bit__ ! And, that's sad.
Lynn: You noticed the PB, huh....it was a test..you passed! :flowerforyou:
I see that some of you are changing your eating plans. Good luck to all. I'm sticking with what I'm doing. Good Luck to me, too. Maeadair is right about changing up your exercise routine. Your body says, what the???? and then speeds up to keep up with you. And, I am probably one of Richards biggest fans....the DVD's can also be found on Amazon or Collage Video.. I could see myself on the beach in Gigi's picture, it was so calming. I didn't look as good in the white but I was having fun.....And, Elli, those babies....how cute!!! My baby is going to the doctor today, he still doesn't feel well. And just what will you be changing your goal to???? I don't get it!!
Shirley.....hope it gets better in your neck of the woods. To say you had a bad week was an understatement!
And, Buzz....that is some report. Thanks for sharing. You are so up on everything, how do you find the time and energy to do it all???
AND THIS IS WHAT THAT DANCING HAS DONE FOR ME!0 -
:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Hello Everyone,
It is MIA me.
Above figures are me tiptoeing and skiing through the posts of the last two weeks to catch up to all of you.:yawn: :yawn: ..and having to stop for a little hydration after all that exercise.
If you are thinking I am going to be doing personal messages to everyone....think again. LOL If I started now, I might be done by the end of April!!!!:noway:
However, after reading through the last two weeks, there are a few things I can think of:
Barbiecat, When you mentioned that Jake was watching a war movie from the 1600's, I couldn't resist commenting..."Gee, I didn't know there were any movies available from that long ago!!!!:laugh: :laugh: I hope your house sells quickly. I would not do well if my place had to be ready for "showing" at the drop of a hat. As I look around my living room, I have a dog passed out on the floor, surrounded by multiple squeeky toys, a dog snoring on the ottoman, next to my feet, and dear old Bradley is snoozing away next to me in the chair.
Welcome to the newbies who have appeared since my last post in the middle of February.
Leigh, you mentioned having a 20 lb. Shih tzu. I have one of those, also. If you look at the pics stored on my profile, he is the mostly black with white little character, who appears with snow on the end of his nose. My other two are a Lhasa Apso, whose love for the groceries has earned her the nickname "Piglet Girl," and the third canine member of my household is a 15 year old "Yorkshire Terror." Collectively, these three are known as "The Three Little Pigs." They have some other names that are not appropriate for a message board!!!!
Marie, I am sorry you and Jerry are playing the waiting game for his medical tests results, and the additional tests. I hope things turn out okay for his sister also.
Judz, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your countrymen. If we can send a man to the moon, we ought to be able to figure out how to predict earthquakes.
Phoebe, Sorry you didn't get home as you had planned. Maybe it is just as well, if the weather hasn't been good in your home state. Not sure if it has been good ANYWHERE.
Here it is March 1st, and all the school districts outside the lower elevations of the urban area where I am are closed due to SNOW!! This is almost unheard of. The latest we ever had a significant snowfall in all the years I have been here was Feb 19th. This year, it seems the weatherman is stuck in sort of a "Groundhog Day" scenario, where we just can't seem to get rid of wet/snowy weather. It hasn't been too bad in my immediate vicinity, but at the higher elevations, and north of me, in Barbiecat's neck of the woods, they have had multiple snow events this season. There was an avalanche yesterday on the main highway through the Cascade Mountains between the Seattle area and Central/Eastern Washington. A few days ago, I saw news footage from a town about 50 miles south of the Canadian border where the people were walking on a sidewalk that had snow up to their knees!!! Enough already.
As for me, I have mastered my new Android phone. I have been sick for the last week with a respiratory virus, so have had plenty of time to play around with it. One of the handiest aspects is that I can go online without getting out of bed..as long as the phone is in the bedroom with me, which it always is.
I didn't seem to be getting any better after 4 days, so I went to the doctor on Friday afternoon. While I was in the waiting room, I found a recipe in a magazine and wondered if it was available on the Cooking Light (magazine's) website. I was able to easily check their webpage, find the recipe, and use the information to pick up what I needed at the store. It was a variation on roasted chicken....excellent. I also looked up a recipe on the Rachel Ray website that I had seen on her show. It was eggplant rollups, but I made it as an eggplant lasagna--delicious, got two meals out of it.
Marilyn, Sorry to read about your back injury. It sounds like you are on the mend.
Irene, You picked a great time to visit our area, assuming you made the trip you mentioned you had planned for this week. I hope your visit with your family goes well.
I enjoyed reading the stories of the various missteps of our members. When I have more time, I will have to share one of my own.
Keep well, everyone.
Barb (and the snoring piggies)0 -
oh BOY - happy March - happy Spring on it's WAY!!!!!!!
MARIE - you are downright inspiring with your food and exercise plan! Not sure i can keep up with you!
MADDIE - ok, you convinced me - i'm going to start dancing!
Really! I think i may look for a Zumba tape 'cause i don't seem to be able to find a class...I was thinking of changing my goal weight from 115 to 110. But i'm just going to keep on doing the food thing i've been doing - trying to get my calories back up to 1200 - maybe change up my exercise routine - freak my body out like you said. I know - i NEED to get back to hot yoga.........just so far away and time consuming. I need to quit making excuses!!!!!!:blushing: Hope your little guy will be feeling better. I get to go see my little Kodi today after workout. AND bring the blue heeler grandpuppies home for a sleep over.:laugh:
BARB - glad you're back, sorry you've been sick - get better. Impressed that you figured out the Android - of course, you ARE one of our computer wizards! ummmm - cooking light website! i'll have to check it out!
Happy Tuesday everybody! ttly. l, e0 -
Goooooooood Morning Sneakers!!! Glad you were able to find us!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Barb, so nice to hear from you and your piglets!! :laugh: Somethings never change and they are still as cute as ever.
What is going on with your weather, I am so sick of snow and I am hoping March brings sunshine and warmer weather. :flowerforyou: Sorry to hear you have been sick, but some good came of it with mastering your new phone. :bigsmile: Keep in touch we miss you when you are gone. 
Maddie, you go girl, looking hot in your new pinup poise!!! :glasses: I love your lost story, how funny is that? It is a good thing we all have a good sense of humor for the dumb things we do!! :laugh: :laugh:
Marie, I agree that doctors think they are God or something, like we have nothing but time on our hands and can sit around just waiting for them. If we had an appointment and told them we were going to lunch first they would cancel our appointment in a heart beat. :grumble: It is not worth stressing over though so just take it one minute at a time. I hope Jerry gets his results and his scan soon, our prayers are still coming your way. Your new diet sounds great but I need variety and as long as I count calories and watch the sugar I think I am doing good. :drinker: :drinker:
Xyla, I am with you on the ides of March, Spring has to come soon. I joined the walking challenge and will start with Leslie's DVD today. Keep me honest and challenged, we can do this together. :bigsmile:
Phobe, I told you when you go to bed at night you wake up to a new month. Time goes toooooooo fast as we get older.
We have dinner plans this evening with good friends. I plan on doing a lot of exercise today, but will still watch what I eat at the restaurant. BTW Gigi, my nails look wonderful thanks to you and I am hoping to get a manicure today. :blushing:
Have a wonderful day and a great new month.0 -

March?already??!!
It's only 50 here but its headed for 64 today. The sun is shining brightly. I did a walk around the yard after lunch. My single twig Lilac bush (it's a baby) is budding. The Autumn Splendor Sedum I divided in fall is poking its way through the ground everywhere I planted it. Should be a beautiful display this summer. The Naked Ladies are six inches out of the ground and the Artemisia 'Silver Mound is also poking its way through last year's sprigs. I sure hope our snow is gone for good.
I'm excited to see the garden in bloom this year as I exchanged Iris tubers with several friends so there will be new colors to see and new varieties. It's such a nice way to add variety to a bed.
Exercise today was mostly cardio and I managed to stay in the "fat burn" zone for 75 minutes.. The balance and strength building exercises drop me out of the zone unless I do jumping jacks or something else with them. And since I can't walk AND chew gum, that isn't likely.
Everyone seems to focused these days. That's a good thing.0 -

Way to go, Sandy! I had to be at a meeting at 8:30 this morning and from there to another meeting. It is now almost 1:00 in the afternoon here and I just got home. I have to go to work tonight at 5:00 so I am going to try to get my walk in between now and then.
I lost 4.5 pounds total this month, but because I had recorded a weight loss in the middle of the month, it shows me at only one pound. Marie and I are doing the OA 90 day plan together so I will now be only weighing in once a month.
I hope y'all have a great day!! :flowerforyou:0 -
XYLA - 4.5 pounds in one month?!?!? That is AWESOME!0

Hi to everyone - just checking in for March...it's been a good morning so far (Wednesday) I've done 40 mins on the treadmill, mowed the lawn ,30 mins and it's only 10 am...time for a well earned coffee. Will have to get my zumba DVD's out of storage for a bit more variation...bought them last year and have only watched 1, 6 more to go.. I bought them when we were in Thailand for a fraction of the price I would have paid in NZ
Catch you all later.0 -
THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES
Hello again gals, yes March is here and so the winds blow and the chills run up and down us, as we slowly make the change from cold and damp to cool and wet. Did the exercises again today, brought the book upstairs for a new list to do. I have shrunk some of the beginning ones into the second set and some of them into the third set, all still giving me a good warm up and a decent workout.
Still having some problems with the portioning but, at least I am drinking water in-between meals so I will not eat a whole lot.Tomorrow is work from 6-10, and then a quick run to the mall for some supplies, then home then walk to physio. I should be very tired by bed time. It is hard to walk after 4 hours, the knees and hips are the first to complain, the small of the back starts up just a bit after. I may have to look into getting gel inserts for the work shoes.
Well time to get on with thinking about supper, my son and his lady are on their way here, so we will have supper at the table tonight.
Take care all, catch you tomorrow

Indeed, Mike and I each have our set of TV EARS for years, and they are wonderful! Couldn't be without them, and now the TVwe have a product called TV ears. Jerry could have the tv as long as he needs it without actually blaring it
doesn't need to make a sound! :happy:
BARBIE's so disciplined!
...I need some of that, Barbie!I have to turn away and not listen to people who tell me that my weight is fine and so I don't need to be so cautious about what I eat and how much I exercise.
MAE...What a delight to read your long post! You certainly have learned very quickly the who and the how of us all on this thread!
Delighted you are here!
JUDY...at least it sounds as if your lives are slowly returning to normal...I hope! Let it even get hum-drum for a bit!
LYNN... Glad you slept through the storm. They must be very frightening! And happier YOU are OK! :flowerforyou:
GAYLA... Cold is cold! And I know how you feel about Richard Simmons! As hokey as he can get, he's a very sincere person who
is coming from a place of knowing what it was to be fat! Yes, that's why he's so good at what he does! He conquered it, and
wants to help the rest of us do likewise! And the music keeps us moving! :bigsmile:
SANDY: Bless you for starting us in March. I knew my REPLY would not post to February, even though that's where I
started it, so you saved the day...again! :drinker:
XYLA: wish I could motivate myself to join the challenge; it's exactly what I need! Go for it, gal!
MARIE! Great blood sugar count; congratulations.. And your menu looks great, too! Keep up the good goals, girl! :flowerforyou:
MADDIE: At least next time you doff your duds, make it the Queen of Hearts!!! :bigsmile: Actually, luv, I don't seem to find time to even read all the posts! I have so much catching up to do, it'll never happen! Hav a Town Hall Meeting (BORING) tonight we dare not miss so gotta run...
Had my yearly Mammogram this morning, and my Dr's office just calle to say it is normal! With Ovarian CA (my lovely sister, who survived stage 3, 11 years ago) and loads of Breast CA in my maternal family, it's always a big relief when I get the results and they fine! Also got my hair cut and lost ALL that EXTRA WEIGHT!!!:laugh:
Have a great night, y'all!
and I didn't forget the rest of you,...just running out of time! love ya all
Buzz0 -
JUDY - please let me know how you like the zumba - i've been so intrigued by it.
BUZZ - congrats on the good mammo. that has to be scary with so much C in your family. My sister in law died of breast cancer way too young. boy do i miss her. and worry about my niece, her daughter. I'll be going for all my annual stuff probably in april - after we're done with the business meeting this month.
I just got done with an hour long walk outside with the dogs - we have 55 degrees today - SO nice! don't know if i'll hit the gym. I'm thinking of maybe doing a pilates dvd, then going over for a visit with Kodi!
Have a great night everybody. l, e0 -
I actually downloaded some new music from Amazon and danced in my office for about an hour. No joke this time.:laugh: .ya know, I like some of the songs the way the Glee cast did them, so I downloaded a couple of those.

But had to get a bigger one to hold all of these veggies. I rosted a bag of frozen Califlower and brocolli in my turbo Cooker Put them in a bowl mix 1 T of olive oil, sprinkle Pepper and garlic powder over it. my best food of the day i ate the whole bag 12 oz. So far no craving for a bed time snack. Woot hoot. Tomprrow I am going to attempt to make Strawberry ice cream With 8 oz. greek yogurt, 6 oz of frozen strawverries, 1 t. of lemon juice 2 Pkg of splenda Put in blender and blend till creamy. tomorrow is grocer shopping day got to get more frozen veggies
Got to tell you what happen today. I got a pkg. from my nuseries. It had my blackberry bushes in it and I thougt we got the weeks ago.

IHe planted the backberry thornless plants in big pots till March 15 Be sure we wont have anymore freezen weather. It was abosolutely beautiful to day. Sammy and i went walking.0 -
Hi Everyone:flowerforyou:
My posts have been short. It was the weekend, storms, internet knocked out and my mama. Is that enough excuses to be sufficient?:huh:
We visited friends Sunday. When we do we all sing and play and have a blast. I really enjoyed that! That night the storms moved back in. I mentioned before that I slept through the worst. :noway: My sister lives in a small city east of me about 75 miles. She said the tornado warning systems went off twice. South of us, in Franklin, Tennesse, a man was killed in a tornado yesterday morning.
I don't know about the rest of you, but our Spring is starting out with a bang..very early. We have flooding and tornado weather that usually comes in April. We have a "saying" in my "neck of the woods" that when March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion. Well, today we had 50-55 degrees and beautiful sunshine..so...we shall see if this holds true for the end of the month.
On a more positive note...
I did see my first March lilly aka yellow daffodils, :flowerforyou: blooming today! There are irises, lillies, and daffodils coming up everywhere...that is so exciting.:happy: So many tree frogs were croaking today, making the sound a dull roar...birds were building nests...Spring is such a wonderful time..the rebirth of everything!
Xyla-if I can get this ticker thing down, I will join your challenge. 4.5 pounds?! Wow! :flowerforyou:
Marie-I believe you have found your success plan in this food plan. It's amazing what all you get to eat. I am going to have to do something different again. I am losing my momentum. It's very hard to keep it up when you see no movement on the scale. I am having some unusual things again. I am trying my darndest not to dwell on it. I will be home tomorrow after 4 days of being on the run...so I am gonna do what Maddie suggests and get up offa this thing and dance..dance..dance..
I wanted to tell you too, that I am hoping for the very best for you and Jerry. :flowerforyou: You are handling all of this waiting with grace. You are some Lady!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Connie -:flowerforyou: I hope to get some time in the next 2-3 days to put to use your instructions. It sounds like you have found your groove. That is great!
How's your trainer?
Barb-glad to hear from you! Sorry that you were sick.:flowerforyou: .I hate that word don't you? I have a smart phone that is smarter than me..:bigsmile:
Judy--I had forgotten that your seasons are probably opposite to ours. It's wednesday night there now..I believe?:huh:
Sandy -enjoy your meal!:flowerforyou:
Elli-that pic is so sweet!..nothing like them is there? Happy Tuesday!:flowerforyou:
Irene have a good trip!
Phoebe, Mae, Gigi, Gayla..Barbie :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Happy Tuesday...and may Spring hasten to your doorstep!
Hey Buzz- thanks and take care of those pretty eyes!:flowerforyou:
Maddie-
-Thanks for the pics and the song! I'll have to see if I can find that on youtube or somewhere to listen to it..that will bring it to "life."
I plan to dance tomorrow..and looking forward to it.:bigsmile:
I have to tell this story on my sis. I don't believe I have told you this before. My sister and her husband are meticulous with their person, home and belongings. We tease her that you could eat off her floors. They had a new roof put on their house last summer. It had left debri in their attic. It's an attic with pull-down door and spring loaded stairs. My brother-in-law took a shop vac up there to vaccum up the debri. In the meantime, my sister put the door up to keep dust from coming down into the house. She was cleaning downstairs. She picked up the phone and cleaned it well. After that, she decided she had time to get in the shower while he finished up. The phone rang, she looked at the phone and it said the county name and no number so she thought it was a solicitation call and didn't answer it. She went on in to the shower. In the meantime, my brother-in-law turned the vaccum off and heard some yelling. He was wondering who in the world could be yelling. He cautiously pushed on the door and opened it a few inches. A policewoman was looking back at him with her hand on her gun. She asked if he had called 911...he said, "no, ma'am." She asked, "Are you alright up there?"
He said, "yes, ma'am." She then proceded to ask if the person in the shower was okay..and he told her to the best of his knowledge, she was. The policewoman then told the other policman not to knock the door down..everything was okay.
My brother-in-law then asked the policewoman if she would open the door so that he could get down.
The police then left.
My sister came out of the bathroom, after her shower, and she saw her husband and asked him how in the world he was able to get himself down. He told her the police let him down. She was like, "No Way!" .:noway: ..he said, "Yes Way!"
So after discussing the matter, they come to the conclusion that while cleaning the phone, she had dialed 911.
That was how my sister narrowly escaped being carted off to jail on Fourth of July weekend for locking her husband ind the attic..on a regular basis. That was how she narrowly escaped being in the shower naked and having a policeman breaking her door down to see if she was okay???!!!
Needless to say...they will never live this one "down.":laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Again...some of the funniest stories are real!:bigsmile:
Sandy, thanks so much for keeping this thread going for all of us.:flowerforyou:
To all I have left out...it was an accident!
(I have Arnold on the brain today) I will be back!:happy:0 -
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Sandy, thank you for starting the new thread
:flowerforyou: Marie, with your new plan ahead meals and starting a new walking plan, those pounds will come off
:flowerforyou: Maddie, I am a huge Richard Simmons fan. I have a set of five DVDs of “Sweatin’ to the Oldies”. What I remember most about him on TV was that he used to go into grocery stores and stop women and look in their carts and comment on their choices. Every time I go grocery shopping I think about what Richard would say about my purchases.
:flowerforyou: Barb, sorry that you haven’t been well. We have a routine to get the house ready and the Realtors know that we have to have two hours advance notice. The biggest chore is kicking the
:flowerforyou: Elli, I eat 1400 calories plus most of my exercise calories so sometimes when someone comments on my eating I let them know that on a good exercise day I eat 2000 calories of healthy food….your granddaughter on your profile picture is darling
:flowerforyou: Connie, your exercise program is awesome
:flowerforyou: Judy, it will be interesting to follow you into fall and winter and we head toward spring and summer
:flowerforyou: Buzz, thank you for the kind words…..you are such a support and cheerleader for all of us
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Looking back at February’s goals I had a mixture of great success, moderate success and absolute zero.
:bigsmile: We finished packing everything we could and put it in storage and got the house clean and tidy and absolutely ready to be shown…….now it is in the hands of a Higher Power to find a buyer.
:bigsmile: I did great exercise indoors and counted over 10,000 steps every day in the month even when I hardly got outside.
:bigsmile: I did some work in the yard when the ground wasn’t frozen. But, alas, I did absolutely no yoga.
:flowerforyou: My goals for March:
:flowerforyou: Yoga (if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again)
:flowerforyou: Squats (I’m not going to set a number until I have some idea of what I can do for starters)
:flowerforyou: Dancing (either practicing my line dances or dancing while watching TV or movies) 0 -
Just l'il ole me poppin' in to say good night. I had a day of running around for materials. I did not come home with a vanity top for our guest bathroom which did not make dear Dave happy. We had a lot of sulking going on here tonight (me). I thought he should appreciate my effort. May tomorrow be a better day. The weatherman says the temperatures will not be getting better for a long time. I forgot to tell you that we saw a guy pedaling his bicycle yesterday. I was so bundled up (in the car) that I could hardly move so really had to give the guy credit although I hate when they ride along beside the car on these icy roads.
Neils voice was a little weaker today and he was quite cranky, not sure if one caused the other or not. Marie, I pray that Jerry recovers his voice. I know how exasperating it is.
Barb -- sorry you have been ill. Hope you are feeling like yourself soon.
Barbie -- it is interesting how much of an impact Richard Simmons has had on so many Sneakers.
Lynn -- Very funny store about your sis/bil. I bet the police had fun with it too.
Maddie -- Keep on singing and dancing. It will do the trick and you will have fun getting there.
I did my mall walk today (while I was supposed to be finding a vanity top ). Take care and keep smiling. Gayla 0 -

Lynn,
Just had to tell you that story about your relatives, the attic and the 911 call was hilarious. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. I think that would have made an excellent plot for an episode of "The Honeymooners" --except that I don't think Ralph could have climbed up in the attic!!!:noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: After all, this was before MFP!!!
BTW, I realized in my last post, I failed to tell Maddie how funny her stories and pics are. At this rate, you guys will hardly notice that I am not posting as often as I was.
Good night all.

Could I join please? I'm 60, retired last July and madly trying to make up for all the exercise I used to do at work. (physiotherapist) Here in the UK things are starting to feel more like spring. The snowdrops have been out for a month and my hellebores are bursting into flower.
I'm just off to my slimming club to weigh in, so fingers crossed! Judi.0 -

Well what the h e double hockey sticks is going on in here????? If we were in class the teacher would put gum on our noses for talking so much!!! Woo Hoo !!!
Lynn: You're nuts, your friends are nuts and your family is nuts.....I think we could be related! Did you see the movie "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase....so funny, so so funny with an attic scene like similar to yours!!!

Good Morning,
Buzz, I just wanted to tell you that I am glad your mammogram went well..those things are not fun. :noway: The apprehension is enough to kill you.:huh:
Speaking of the "kill you" line in that sentence.
My oldest grandson is 13 and will be 14 in July this year. When he was 3, he came in where I was preparing lunch. He started hugging me and saying, "Grandmother, I love you." I said back to him, "Brandon, what have you done?" He said, "Grandmother, I cut on my hair." to which I replied, "Brandon! Your mama is going to kill us!" He looked up at me and asked, "wiff a gun?" :happy: It was serious business to him. It's funny when they start learning the meaning of words and take everything you say literally.
Phoebe--sounds like you need to be sleeping:yawn:
"Talk" with you, Ladies, later.0
