    Hi friends- I just got home from work. I had a full day today. I walked 4 miles this morning and did some cleaning . I worked from 4-8 tonight. I'm opening tomorrow and Sunday so I have to be there both days at 7.45 AM. I will work until 12pm both days. I'm tired tonight. I'm going to eat something and wind down for the night. Have a great weekend everyone. Cindy :heart:

    I have to share something ... well I guess you could say I have to brag ... I'm so excited. When I first started this journey I measured myself and I haven't done it again ... until tonight. I knew there would be a change but WOW!!!!! I've lost 5.5" off my bust (which makes my hubby pout), 4.5" off my waist, 2.5" off my hips, and before I joined MFP I had a panniculectomy which left me will this spare tire type thing above my hips so I call this my "scared area" ... well there's also 6" gone from that area too. Holy Moly man ... no wonder people are stopping me to ask what I've been doing. There really is a big difference eh? Thank you thank you thank you to everyone involved with MFP. You're the best!!!

    Hello Coming Full Circle Friends: I hope you're all having a fun filled weekend. I don't know about where you are but here in Niagara, Ontario the weather is really wonky ... this morning I went for a one and a half hour walk ... when I started it was super hot and humid and there was nothing but blue skies to be seen ... then this huge black cloud rolled passed and hid the sun and dropped the temperature a bit ... then the blue skies were back again with the heat ... then when I got home the rain started for an hour or so, that brought the temperature right down ... now the sky is all clear again. I think mother nature is having a little manic/depressive episode today. She just can't make up her mind ... hmmm ... maybe she's menopausal (I can relate to the mood swings). Oh well ... other then the mixed up weather conditions, today has been pretty good. I got my exercise in first thing this morning and my food choices have been positive ... I wish every day was like that. Drop a note if you get the chance ... how's your day going?

    What can we get into today. I am not going to ride my bike but will go for a walk while it is still cool.
    Looking to see what cute thing Maggie will post this morning.

    Cindy , Didn't hear from you yesterday. Our house still has not blown up yet. We are doing fine. Do you still ride your bike? I been trying to ride my 3 wheeler and yesterday I crash into Jerry's flower bed. It stay upright and i didn't fall off. But scare me.

    Tanya, How are you doing?

    Debbie, Debbie where are you? Busy I guess.

    Hi everyone- I'm at work and there is nothing to do so I thought I'd check in. I lost 3 pounds last week. Marie, I do ride my bike every once in awhile. I plan to get alot of riding in when fall hits and it's cooler. I'm so glad you haven't blown up !!!! :laugh: No realy- when are they going to fix that leak? Be careful on that bike Marie ! I'm glad you didn't fall off . I imagine it was scary. How is everyones weekend going? I opened the store yesterday and today and have worked alone both days. So far so good. I realy like this job !!! I am getting off at 12pm today. I need to do some laundry and walk my 3 miles. I work Mon- Wed this week and I have Thurs. off. Then I work Fri and Sat. and have Sunday off. My regular schedule is Mon. Wed. Fri. Sat 4 pm -8 pm. School starts here tomorrow. I'm going to wait to start our homeschooling year until we return from MO. My dd was looking through the new school books for the year and asked to start history tomorrow so I think we'll do that and save the rest until we return. OK guys- I better go.. Make it a fantastic day !! Cindy :heart:

    Good Morning Good Morning: Sorry I didn't get on here sooner ... had to do the ritual Sunday morning breakfast at Good Eats Restaurant ... DH hates change so it has to happen ... but I've changed the over easy fried eggs to poached, the white toast with butter to dry rye, and the hash browns to sliced tomatoes. It's really quite yummy to make into a breakfast sandwich. I'll be faced with lots of temptation today ... it's girls day and we're playing tourist. We'll meet at the Rain Forest Cafe then do Maid of the Mist, Journey Behind the Falls, Falls Fury, and any other tourist trap we feel like doing. It should be loads of fun. Well, my BFF is picking me up soon so I better go ... I have to look up the menu for the Rain Forest Cafe and see if there's any chance I can be good. Have a great day all ... bye for now.

    Hi everyone ... so I picked up a Jillian Michaels DVD - Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Man oh man ... I'm big time sweating!! What a workout. I needed it after a day in Niagara Falls with the girls. Among other things, we rode the Maid of the Mist. I haven't done that in years ... it is AWESOME. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend that excursion. Well thanks to Jillian I burned off over 400 calories. Take care all ... I'm off to have a much needed shower and then relax a bit before bed. Sweet dreams and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

    Good morning Cindy, Tanya. and Maggie.
    Good morning to Debbie too. Still looking for you.
    I am off to the Eye doctor this morning. Seems like all of my doctors want to see me this month. Other than that I am doing fine. Did manage to get my 3 short walks in yesterday. I gain 3 1/2 lbs this week. Thats what a wacky week will do for you. I am sure we all had them at one time or another. Just going to buckle up and carry on with my plans.

    Have a good day all.

    Marie, I'm thinking of buying a laptop so I can keep logging my food and keep up with my groups while I'm in MO. I'm at work now and it's so sloooow. I work until 8 pm. I am going to get contact lenses this Thursday and I'm so exited. I used to wear them all the time but I haven't had a new prescription in a couple of years. I think I'm going to walk 5 miles every day I work. Your right any amount of walking is great !!! Have a great night. Cindy :heart:

    Hi there ... it's me. Sorry I've been a little MIA ... I've been feeling pretty under the weather lately and the past couple of days it's been pretty bad. They're getting me in for an upper GI first thing in the morning to see if it shows anything. Sorry I've neglected you all. I'm hoping to get back to work and back on track in the morning after the silly testing is done.
