Hello Everyone!

Sounds like you are all staying busy! Just working away today. It is cold here! 13 degrees. My best friend is losing his job. So I am really sad for him today. His wife lost her job about 2 months ago. They have 2 kids in college. I don't know what they will do. I hate this economy! It did not have to happen. My wife went to see her mother today. It is about 100 miles away. She is 89 and we handle everything for her. She is in a retirement community but is slipping now, dymentia. So that is a mess now. But! We will make and we will go on! We have cats at our house too, Cuddles and Stinker. Cuddles is about 18 years old and Stinker is about 5. I would like to get another but my wife says NO! We will see! LOL Got a hard workout scheduled for tonight. I hope that you all got your exercise in today. Remember to take time for yourself! Have a great day and I will catch up with you all later!

Hello Bigramma,, Busy day today. Seems like every day is busy around here. Always somewere to go. And meals to prepare., Cothes to wash, dishes to do and all the other things to do around here.

But we had a lovely day here in Texas. Make you want to get out and work in the garden. I am ready for some fresh veggies. Miss our fresh cucmbers. Those in the store taste like ougggggggggg.

Phoebe I watch all of that tape. I will hve to take it in difference parts at first. I do like it. Thanks you so much for sending it to me. I got my machine fixed. I hope you enjoy your new toy iif you decide to keep it.

I did get my walk in. and some strecting exercise in.I am thinking about mac and cheese for supper. Got to see if I can find the recipe. It is calorie friendly.

Isn't it funny, the Extreme Makover crew came to our community too.. they did a house for a divorced lady who
1. Lost her teenage son in a terrible car accident about a mile from her house.
2. Lost her job/laid off
3. Had huge medical bills for her daughter, who was in the back seat of the car when her son died.
4.. Had started building the family's dream home when her son died.. he was the designer of their house. Had to stop building it, it just sat there unfinished, mold got to it, etc.
So, it was great that they took care of everything for her. My guess is that she knew someone who knew Ty, coz he is from the area where she works. She was eventually called back to work.. who knows now though, she may get laid off again.
Marie, glad you liked the dvd, hope you can use it. It is almost a yoga type of workout, don't you think? just not a strenous one.
I'm worn out, need to eat. I've been repacking all of the Christmas stuff.. whew! it was definitely a workout. had to move a big rug I had stored.
so I will say goodnight.. craving peanut butter!

CALIECAT

Phoebe, Which cat is that on your ticker? I am going to start some embroidering and will do some exercise while the machine is going. Gonna try to make some lace. I got to find the site so I can download the design. I am going to be making Spring cards. And thanks for the card you sent me ,. that was sweet of you.

Hope everone of you had a good day today. I just finish filling out my food chart and I ave 113 calories left for a snack later. See you guys tomorrow.

jeffrey71

Good Evening everyone!

Just got the workout in and had my dinner and milk! I am beat. For some reason tonight I really struggled getting through the workouts. My rest day is Saturday. I am looking forward to it. We have another winter storm watch for Friday and Saturday. YUCK! I am getting real sick of this! Spoke with our daughter in Atlanta tonight, and she is good. Have not heard from the youngest yet today. My wife got home from visiting her mother and now just got back from a music meeting at church. Pretty much a normal day. I think that I will go and aggravate the cats for a bit! They like that! You all have a great evening. I will check in with you again tomorrow! Stay strong and committed!

Good Morning Calie! And Everyone else!

We are just waiting on the "storm" to hit. We are supposed to get about 10" of snow with some freezing rain mixed. Just another lovely weekend! My workout will be on the business end of a snow shovel!

Not much else going on this weekend, I hope. Wife has to work on Saturday and is on call on Sunday, so we will stick close to the house. I have a couple of little projects in the garage that I can get at and finish off and maybe a workout or two. Any of you have anything fun for the weekend going on?

Have a good morning!

Good morning Marie, I know what you mean about eating out. It is very hard for me too. We always eat out on friday nights but I think we will just stay home tonight. Not sure yet what I'm going to fix but it will be healthy. It is suppose to be nice here today. I need to listen to the weather to see what is coming up.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day, Pat

Hi, I am a 70 year old female who suddenly gained 5 more pounds. I am very concerned about my weight do to my family history. I would like to know how you chart the chair exercise as my log does not accept the information. I do walk and do all the chair exercises daily, I just started again, three days ago( had been sick for a couple of weeks) and I find that if I can't log my diet and exercises I loose interest . I do follow a low fat and low sugar diet.

I live alone and I take care of my home, yard,and snow shoveling-- when needed. I do all my own chores including any painting or car washing and etc. But is this enough?

My regament today was breakfast of 1cup of Cheerios with1/2 cup Fat Free milk. Lunch was a turkey sandwich on white with one tablespoon of mayo and a large leaf of lettuce. I have my dinner planned,being Talapia with a baked potatoe and boiled carrotts. Now snack time is my biggest problem, I always fell hungry around seven o'clock in the evening, how do you all deal with this? I usally crochet in the evening because I have to keep busy.

Thanks for listing, I needed that.

I have walked 15 minutes on the ET so far...will do more in about an hour.....:flowerforyou:

jeffrey71

Hi Biggramma!

I am impressed that exercise everyday multiple times! Sorry about the no sun, at least you are not getting the 10" of snow that we are getting here! Anyway, keep up the good efforts, results will come!

Have a great Friday!

Jeffrey

BIGGRAMMA

Thank you Jeffery....I really am not trying to lose more....I have lost over 50 pounds these past 2 years.....I just had to put a number down when I joined and my doctor wants me at 130..so that is what I put....You are doing well with your weight loss....

Hi Norma!

It is always tough to know what or how much is enough with exercise and food intake. Keep doing what you are doing and try to increase the intensity of the exercise as best you can.

For snacks, try celery with a little bit of peanut butter. I like to have an apple before my meals to help me get to that full feeling and to take the edge off. Here is one that a lot of folks over look. Eat SLOOOOOOOW! It takes about 15 minutes for the hypothalmus to inform the brain that the stomach is getting filled. Fast eaters blow right by the bodys measuring system. Raw broccolli is also good. Talk to you soon! Good luck!

Hi Norman, welcome to our little group. I have sort of took the day off and work on some Thank you notes that I am just learning to make.. I made a few Christmas Cards . And will start on Valintine or spring cards. After I get a few Thank you knotes done. If anyone woulkd like to recived one of my cards send me your address. I used my emboidery machine I have lots of imrovement to make. But I am learning.

Hope you enjoy it here. on this site. Do used the the calorie chart for that is what is really helping me. I have never counted calories before but with the calorie chart it is so easy. And it pays off.

Hi Jeffrey---Don't get snow in. up there.. Hey you got me drinking more milk. I used the dry powder milk for I like to measure out what would make a cup and used it in my coffee in the morning and usally have enough left for a cup mid morning. At night I make a hot latte befor bedtime and it sure give me a good night sleep.
I got my walk in and done some of that dvd Phoebe sent me. It will take awhile to get thru all of it..

Pat---How are you doing? Seen you post earlier this morning. So glad you are enjoying this site. I am too. Such nice people we got here. .

Biggramma--- a beatiful day here. Have had my front door open and seeing all my neigbors com and go. I am having a hamburger steak wirth onions and oven bake potatoes. for tonight. My faverite meal.


Have a good night all_____________Marie

Welcome Normal.. If you need any help one of us might can help you.

Good Evening!

Just finished my workout. It was Kempo Karate tonight. It is a lot of fun and great cardio workout. We got a little snow with more coming, so I will be up early in the morning shoveling! Not too much else to report. Wife and I did the Walmart run and such. Just a normal night in rural Indiana! You all have a great evening and wonderful day tomorrow! I will check in sometime tomorrow.

Jeffrey

jeffrey71

Biggramma,

Thanks for the complement. It has been a struggle and I have learned a lot. I still want to lose about 15-20 more pounds or get my body fat percentage down to 10% or less if I can. I think that I am at about 14-15% now. I am really in the tough part now but I gained on it this week. I will hit the scales in a few days. It is hard now to lose weight because my workout regiment is geared to building muscle now. How are things in Calif? I have been to San Francisco before and San Diego. I really liked both cities.

Take care everyone!

Morning Calie!

I came into the office this morning to work for a while. I have some errards to do later on so kind of a slow day and that is fine with me. Nothing really scheduled except a trip to Sam's Club later on. Today is my rest day for exercise but I think that I will do some cardio later on. How is your needle work doing? Sounds like you are staying busy! I am starting to plan my garden for this spring and planning my flowers. My wife and I really like to do outside work together. We are talking about trying to schedule a trip to Atlanta to see our daughter if money allows. Our other daughter is competing in another beauty pagent in Feb. She was first runner up in Miss Indiana State this year. We are very proud of her.

Everyone have a good morning!

Jeffrey

Good Morning....What a beautiful sight I woke up to this morning...the sun was shining and the rooftops are covered in frost......it was 32 degrees....I love it...I was so tired of the grey weather....

This weather will be nicer for the Extreme Makeover team that is tearing down a house in my town today....They start building tomorrow....The show will air in March...I will post here when that happens...

I hope everyone is having a super Saturday.

Hi Jeffey and Biggramma See that you too are in a good mood today. Me too.

Biggramma---I didn't know it got that cold in Calif. and frost too. Keep us in touch with the show. It is one of my faverite show.

Jeffrey----Do you plant any veggies. We plant some tomatoes, squash.onions, And I have some new seeds. Jerry does all the work and i enjoy the veggies. Oh yes the cucumbers love them. We don't have much space but we plant what we can.

See you later.----Marie

Hi from the late one! We have been hanging new curtains, moving stuff around, putting new lamps in place, moving stuff again, and on and on.. I couldn't make up my mind about where to put a small table, kept moving it.. that counts for a workout, I'm sure.
Hi Norma, you are very active already, congratulations for that and for taking care of yourself. I don't know how you would log the seated exercise, I suppose you could just decide what it compares to that is available as a choice, and pick the closest match.
We eat about 7pm here, so if I go to bed at a decent hour, I don't get hungry again. I know that wouldn't work for everyone though. I have read several posts about green tea.. if you like it, you could enjoy a cup when you begin to feel hungry..try flavoring it, squeeze a little lemon, lime or orange juice into the cup, or sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in the cup. I don't know if you can find decaffienated, but I know they used to make it, since you would be drinking it kind of late at night.
Jeffrey, did you get that snow.. I would not want to get out on the roads in that!!
Marie, Bigramma,Pat, Ellie, hope you are all doing well.. we leave Monday morning, will be gone about a week I guess.. take care all

Bigramma----Sunny Calif. at last...The sun just make you feel so much better.

Hi Ellie.

Hello Normal

Good morning to everyone. Hope you all are having a nice morning and the rest of the day. I got up late this morning. Toby woke me up early, he had to go outside and then we both went back to bed and slept another hour. I have him in a crate at night and when I'm gone cause he gets mad at me when I leave and will tear up anything he can get a hold of. He is just like a two year old. He will grow out of it.

Marie, yes I did end up eating out last Friday. I had a hamburger and diet coke, that was not to bad.

You all have a wonderful day and will be back later.

Here is another pic of some that I did for Christmas..

Here is how I found to post a picture to our site! I use Photobucket and select my picture and then copy the IMG link. Then it is simply a matter of pasting it to a reply box. Once the link is pasted to your reply you MUST change the uppercase IMG in your link to lowercase. It is in the link twice...so do it in both places. Have fun!
