"Coming Full Circle"

magglett

Good Morning all ... what a scorcher it is here today ... big time high humidity. I've got to figure out some kind of fitness thing to do today ... maybe I'll wait and see if it is better in the evening. So the hubby and I went to the Fallsview Casino last night. We don't gamble but we went for Dinner at an all you can eat buffet restaurant they have there (I stuck with salmon, veggies, and allowed myself a low sugar apple rhubarb square with some fruit on the side for dessert ... mmmm), then took a short walk around the falls, and then went to a show called Twist & Shout. All in all it was a lovely evening. I think there's some kind of party going on tonight but I'm not sure ... why is there so much disruption in our lives during the summer? Any who ... just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all and wish you a lovely weekend. Take care of you.

Hi again ... turns out as soon as I sent my last post out I got a call from my BFF to go for a walk. So off we went into this humid hot hot day. It was nice ... we took our time so we could continue to breath so it took us an hour and forty five minutes and I burned 581 calories in that time. I'm glad I got that in because it turns out that I have a dinner party to go to today so goodness knows what food choices will be there. Is it that rude of me to call the hostess and ask even if I don't know her that well? I guess I shouldn't do that, I'll just do my best to make the healthiest choices. Well, I'm off now to do a little shopping. Take care all!!

Hi all ... spent the day with my DH road tripping ... when we got home I went to download the pictures I took with my cell phone and couldn't find it ... so I used my DH's cell to call my cell and the lovely young lady that served me frozen yogurt earlier today answered my phone. Well yeah ... THAT'S A 2 HOUR DRIVE FROM HERE!!! So I'll be off on another unplanned road trip tomorrow to pick it up again ... I planned on doing an aqua fit class with an old friend in the morning and then having lunch with her and her twin boys but I had to cancel so I could go and get my phone and then be back in time for the dentist. Life is funny eh? Plans sometimes just go in the toilet and new challenges come along. Oh Well ... that's life. :laugh:

Good Morning everyone:flowerforyou:

So on saturday I went to the pool with my daughter and found out she is allergic to chlorine. So now I don't think I'll be able to take her to the pool anymore:grumble: I am going to her doctor later on today for a wellness visit and I am going to ask if there is anything I can do about her allergy. Then yyesturday, we went to a baptism and I ended up going over my calories. Suprisingly I did'nt gain weight but stayed the same so thats good:happy:

So this thursday I want to start putting excercise in the mix. I want to start on thurday because that will be 3 weeks since I started this journey to a better me. I also want to start slow so I decided I will start walking about a half hour a day, and then work my way up from there.

Bye for now,

Tanya

Cindysunshine

Hi everyone- I'm glad your getting that AC fixed. My walk was great !! I didn't wake my dd Avery up to walk. She woke up while I was gone and straightened up the trailer and still came to find me on my last lap so she could walk with me. What a sweetie she is !! Have a great day everyone !!! Cindy

magglett

Hi all ... how's your day going? Mine? Well ... so far so good ... breakfast ... well, I usually have my cereal or oatmeal but my stomach was icky this morning for some reason so just coffee and water ... ate a bit later in the morning when things settled ... crackers & cheese & veggies & hummas ... lunch was a blue menu whole wheat pasta and veggies & a source dessert selections yogurt. Around 3ish this afternoon I'll have either a banana or a necterine ... and then supper will most likely be fish or chicken and veggies. Then I'll have another snack (skinny cow Ice Cream, or a 100 calorie vita muffin, or something like that ) with my herbal tea in the evening. Water I have all day long ... especially on a day like today ... hot and sticky humid ... yuck. Well ... my lunch hour is pretty much coming to an end so I'll head back to work now. Happy Day All and Take Care Of You!!

Hello, Hello,Hello, everybody. Cindy, you are so active. Too hot to even think about walking. Our A/c is still running, But Jerry has not finish the hot water heater yet. Cold showers are not so bad. At least better than nothing.

Where is our friend Debbie? Must be busy.
Hi Tanya and Margie Sweet dreams tonight.

Good Morning Everyone:flowerforyou:

Yesturday was kinda hectic for me. I am kinda nervous because I may be making a career change. I am looking into becomeing a teacher. I always wanted to do it but took the business route instead. With the economy the way it is, I figure if I want to make a change, now is the best time. I am looking into Alternate Route which is a program that if you got your bachlor's already, you don't have to go through all that schooling again, and just teach during the day and go to class two nights a week, but first I have to pass an exam to be able to teach. So I have a lot on my plate right now. Hopefully everything will work out.

Tanya

CALIECAT

Best of luck in your new career, Tanya. School teacher is a good career.

Hi everyone :flowerforyou: I hope everyone is great !! I'm getting ready to go walk my 4 miles. I work 4-8 pm tonight. I want to get dinner cooked before I leave for work and I have some laundry to do. My day is looking full. Marie, Is your Hot water heater up and running yet ? I hope it is . Have a great day everyone- Cindy

CALIECAT

No not yet. We call a plb. and they will be here in the morning. Jerry has a leak and can't get it fix.
I been telling him for 2 days to call a plb. So finally he had to admit defeat. These cold showers are getting rought. And heating all my dish water. Grant you I hadn't done much cooking. Walmart has some low sodium roasted turkey in thier Deli. I bought some low sodium ham today. Its pretty good. They also have beef in the low Sodium too. May try it next time. When is your WI day.?
Don't work to hard. See you later. Marie

Cindysunshine

Marie, I weigh in on Wed for the looking good for Chrismas thread and then again on Sundays. I am loving my job ! I am so happy to have it !! I'll have to try that low sodium lunch meat. I love turkey and ham but hate all the sodium. Have a great night and hang in there with that cold water situation. Cindy

CALIECAT

Cindy I just look it up on our food data and sara lee low sodium ham has 60 calories for 2 oz. and 400 Sodium. some saving on sodium. I try to stay in around 1500 sodium a day. So I can work that out pretty good. I haven't check the other out yet. Marie

Cindysunshine

Marie, I like to stay under the 2,500 MFP has set for me. It's shocking to me how much sodium is actualy in some foods. Work went great tonight. I'm going to do some dishes now and get ready for bed. Have a great night. Cindy

CALIECAT

Good morning Maggie, tanya ,Debbie [ where are you] and Cindy.

Well we got hot water now. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

magglett

Hi there everyone ... just a quick update ... all is well here. Glad to hear you got the hot water back. And the sodium thing is a tough one. I'm concentrating more on calories right now but I am trying a "Healthy Coice Groumet Steamers" lunch right now which has 330 mg of sodium ... I don't think that's too bad ... and it tastes pretty good. I just didn't have time to pack a lunch this morning so this is my quickie lunch. Anyway ... just wanted to say hi to everyone ... talk to you soon.

magglett

So hi there again everyone ... what's the plan for exercise today? If it doesn't rain I think I'll take a walk on the Niagara Parkway and up Clifton Hill to check out some tourists. If it does rain I'll do one of my DVD's (zumba or turbo jam party). I'm looking forward to my chicken dinner tonight ... I'm starting to get hungry for it already. Mmmmm chicken & Sugar Snap Peas .... mmmmmm. Hope you're all doing well.

Cindysunshine

Hi everyone :flowerforyou: Marie- yipeee for hot water !!!!! I walked 3 miles this morning and I'll walk 2 more tonight. I've got healthy lasagna in the crockpot right now and it's smelling sooo yummy ! I'm doing laundry and straightening up some now. I hope everyone has a fantastic day !!!! Cindy

Good Morning Everyone:flowerforyou:

Callie, hope everything goes well with your house from this point on. Yeah, I wonder where Debbie has been too. Its been a while since she was here, maybe she's just really busy with her new job.

Well, yesturday I went for my first walk and its was like 90 outside and very humid but I did walk for 30 minutes better than nothing in that heat, and today I am planning to go raspberry picking which burns 672 calories in 2 hours. Its fun and your burning ccalories so I am looking forward to later. Hope everyone has a good weekend:happy:

That hydration station sounds so nice right now. I'm feeling fat and puffed out today ... do you ever get days when you feel like that? The scale doesn't show any gain or anything ... I guess Its in my mind.
