    To everyone that keeps exercising everyday. You all rock. If I get my slow walk in everyday I'm happy. I have bad knees doc says he'll replace them once I get off the concrete at work.I work 12 hours 4 days a week. So everything is slow and steady. Elliptiacal is also hard on my knees.I do gardening and ride horses. Going to start swimming a couple of days a week. And welcome to all the new comers

    I have noticed some of you using the abbreviation DH. I am assuming that stands for Dear Hubby. Is that right?:ohwell:

    Anytime you get off the couch or the computer chair and move, you're doing your body a favor. If you're movin', you're losin'
    :bigsmile: don't worry if your exercise isn't the traditional stuff :bigsmile:

    :bigsmile: Angelika, you're right, DH is darling (dear, devoted, etc.) husband although if you were annoyed with him it might be darn or demented or diabolical or doggone or something else :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    :bigsmile: Natalie, congrats on losing another pound :bigsmile:

    :bigsmile: me1howard, welcome to the group and to the work of logging food......I had the same experience of discovering that I was eating a ton more calories than I should have

    :bigsmile: Sissy, congrats on losing another pound.....I am thinking slim thoughts for you and your Suzy Wong dress

    :bigsmile: Mary, you sure take on some amazing cooking challenges

    :drinker: :drinker: Rebel, congrats on staying away from the wine

    :bigsmile: Barbara, I wish you were here dancing with me

    It's late and I've had a busy day, so I didn't respond to as many of you as I would have liked to :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

    Good morning everyone - sounds like most are doing well. Welcome to newcomers and those returning after a break.

    Yesterday was not good on food but today will be better (Ihope). Got to get back in the routine of drinking more water. I have logged my food for three consecutive day even though it hasn't been very good. Just like newcomers I'm back to learning how important it is to log ALL your food.

    Feel kind of drugged today - doc gave me new meds and they make me feel groggy, I was going to lap swim this morning but was to groggy to drive. I didn't feel safe so I stayed home. Will try to go for a walk later. Like Barbie says any movemeny away from the computer, TV or sewing machine is making progress toward loosing.

    Well I'm off to plan my food for the day so I just have to grab it when it's time to eat.

    Everyone have a good day. Think positive thoughts and take it one day at a time.

    Just a quick post. You know how I've been thinking of changing my goal weight because of my waist seeming to get bigger? Well, I took my measurements this morning, which I haven't done in almost a year, and although my weight is less than it was last year (only 1 pound) my waist is 1.5 inches bigger!:noway: My stomach is1 inch smaller and my hips .5 inch bigger! My husband says it's impossible, but I take my measurements as tight as I can so I know they're accurate. I wonder why?:ohwell:

    Well have a great day everyone!

    Michele - Yes, I think the bowling guy is trying to hit on you.

    Jane - What did your xrays show? I hope you are okay!

    Lisa - Thanks for the encouraging words. I will try to treat today and every day as the day that I make healthy decisions!

    Music Festival in the cooler progresses. I have all of the non-cooler food organized into bags by meal and labeled (like Friday lunch, etc.) with paper plates and plastic utensils included. Last night I cooked the rice for the wraps, and tonight I will cook the meat for the taco salads, chop the ham and peel/chop the boiled eggs for the chef salads, and try to get the cooler type foods organized into meals and labeled. I also need to pack my suitcase tonight, and don't know what to take. Although the high here yesterday was 101, Thursday is forecast to be 65. So, I guess I will have to pack lots of layers, and hope we don't get too wet. I have a meeting tonight at 7:00 that I don't have time to go to, but guess I will try to make it for a while. I have my first bell choir practice of the season tomorrow night, and need to finish choosing/prepping the music for that. We plan to leave from the bell rehearsal to drive down to Mom's (where we stay for the festival) so need to be all done tonight. Sleep? I guess that will have to happen in my next life!

    Better get back to work - my students await. I will try to check in tomorrow sometime before we leave, and will then be MIA until Monday. Have a great Tuesday, and here's to smart choices!!

    Happy 13th ladies.

    13 is my lucky number. I was born on the 13th. My parents were married on the 13th. The number of the house I was born is was 13 and we got married on the 13th. In fact, today is our wedding anniversary. Our third. It is also our twenty-third anniversary of being together.

    I'm making DH his favourite meal and we are going to have a snuggle-up in front of our new blu ray player ... for once I don't mind not rushing around.

    Have a good day please. .... be lucky!

    Love
    Amanda x

    I had a nice day today. It was very busy but I was ready for it...both the work and my food plan. I started back at the school where I see my student and I started a new set of yoga classes. It felt good to get back into the rountine. Tonight at the Weight Loss Challenge I was down a pound....glad I am getting back on track. I'll see how my weigh in goes in the morning for MFP.

    Birdie...I don't understand why the measurements change like that but I know a lot of my friends talk about difficulties with bloating. I know that there are times when my body feels like its retaining fluids...in new an unusual places!! Maybe try your measurements again in a few days.

    It was great to read the posts tonight. Thanks!

    all I can say is work travel and diet don't go well together. I am holding strong and trying to make smart choices (not always succeeding)
    I take the stairs to my room (3rd floor) so that is helping. I am doing some workout in the fitness center but not enough. I am just so tired. the 3 hour time difference is killing me. take care all.

    happy anniversary Amanda!
    Congrats on both accounts Reb.
