Here you go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/919508-an-apology-letter-to-my-body?hl=apology&page=1#posts-13956778I rarely read anything on MFP except this thread. Today a thread caught my eye. I think its "An apology to my body." Its in the motivation and support section. If you can find it, its worth the read. Very thought provoking. Kaye0 -
Yet again, i've been MIA a bit... just very busy at work & trying to do some spring cleaning around the house....
@Louisa – welcome! I know some folks (mostly doctors) from South Africa – it always sounded like a fascinating (and complicated) part of the world.
@Robin – welcome back from vacation
@Kitty – welcome back!
@toots & skinnyjeanz – scales? Would they consider me a terrorist if I threatened to blow mine up?
@Helena – hope you’re on the mend
@Susan – I totally understand where you’re at… I feel like I’m practically going in reverse lately… I’ve got friends in the Vegas area myself: one is running for office out in Henderson, the other is one of those ‘whale tenders’ (what the heck do they call them?) for one of the casinos..
@Kaye – Onederland soon! You can do it!
@Lin – you’re not gonna put anyone to sleep – you’re awesome!
And everyone else.. I send you massive hugs….
Sunday share... I'm Vicki (I have such an imaginative screen name - NOT!), 55 (for a few more days) mom of 2 adults, married, Nurse... and I work for the state psychiatric hospital here in Arizona (also known as Hell several months out of the year)....
So, I joined a new gym (YouFit), which I'm pretty impressed with so far. Right now I'm feeling INFINITELY FRUSTRATED with the scale - I'm bouncing the same 3-4 lbs for a month now. :grumble: Now, my head understands that I've added muscle, but I can't get the REST of my head to understand! Clothing sizes still moving down, but verrrrryyyy sloooowwwwly.
I am so impatient!
The trainer said that my goal would be "really easy" to achieve by September (that's another 50# at this point).. I am so not seeing it at this rate. But, this is the same twit that had me about ready to barf (sorry for the TMI) after the first half of the workout.
Just heard today that the daughterling may be moving home again for a while... not sure if this is a good thing or no, but we shall see. I do miss having her around (she's the baby... but she's 30)
Hope everyone has a great week!0 -

Hi - I'm Robin and I started this thread so long ago I do not remember. I lost a boat load of weight in the first year but then I have come down with rheumatoid arthritis this year and have gained back have a boat load ! :sad: But I'll never give up MFP or my pals here! I will continue to follow the path of healthy living and will be a success in the long run.
I am 60 y/o divorced, live in Omaha NE and due to allergies, have no pets, but I love dogs and especially kitties. I had them earlier in my life, too. Gosh I miss them. No kids, hardly any relatives, except 4 siblings, and some nieces and 1 nephew. Gosh I wish I had a big family! I have so much love just bursting out of me!
I have just gotten home from a weekend of house-sitting for a friend and caring for his dog. Sad to say my allergies kicked in, and it was kind of a miserable weekend. Also have bronchitis but its much better, but a bad toothache - off to the dentist TOMORROW- YAY!!!!! :noway:0 -

Oops haven't checked in to the thread for a while. Very quick Monday check-in -- I have lost another two pounds so I am well pleased with that. That's put me to the halfway point on my original journey which is sort of cool.
I've been using the Fitbit for 6 days now and I think it's pretty good, but is possibly underestimating my calorie burn.
Hope everyone's well -- back soon!0 -
I have not gotten the chance to go back and read through the weekends posts.. but WOW what a weekend. Started with my snow day Friday and hiked my pup for about two hours in the snow. We walked back in the house and she went right into her bed and was out cold! Saturday morning I lifted and got a great workout in. To the point where at the end I physically was unable to do even a single more pushup... went to my newphews Birthday party where I ended up playing catch with the baseball for most the afternoon... Sunday we went out bowling with some friends... lots of fun and i am still beat! LOL. My shoulder is twitchy and my legs are just tired.
So I was planning on changing my workout schedule this week but now I am going to go back to my original and normal schedule of
Monday - Cardio
Tuesday - Lift Workout A
Wed - Cardio -Spin Class
Thurs- Lift Workout B
Friday- light cardio weigh in day
Not sure about this weekend with lifting and running.. will see how I am feeling as I get closer.0 -

Hey Hey Hey- Monday Check In
The weekend was crazy for me. Lots of homework and for some reason couldn't get out of bed yesterday til like 5pm. I received my offical move date for work....April 26th. I have mixed emotions being I was down at the new office last week at lunch time the skyways are super crowded hard to get a good workout in found myself wanting to say speed up or move out the way to lots of people.
I haven't been doing real good on the March goal of writting down something you like about yourself - I am just so beat at night I fall asleep and forget to write it down....I am going to try writting it down when I get home from work each night.
This week I am moving to level 5 of the hill program walking intervals 3.0-3.2 mph. I will get measured the week of 3/25/13.0 -
Good morning all. I am so tired and not feeling well at all. I think the cold that 2 of my coworkers and one of my sisters had has now come for me. I have had a headache since yesterday morning. I just feel super crappy. The weeding on saturday was really nice. The reception was fun. We danced a lot and I was the one to catch the bouquet. I kind of stood in the back and out of the way but it came straight for me. So of course everyone one was commenting on how my boyfriend and i are the next to be married. I also got a lot of compliments on my dress and how I looked. It made me feel good. My boyfriend said that people were coming up to him and telling him how beautiful i looked even people he didn't know.
Monday check-in: Nothing spectacular to report. Didn't eat too badly. Danced a lot on Saturday. I just want to go back to bed.
Have a good day. I will catch up on posts later.

Hello, everyone! I didn't go MIA, I promise. Just a really nutty week and little time online.
Quick update on me. Things are going pretty well. TOM decided to show up on Sunday for the first time in over 2 years. (for those who don't know, I was on depo for many years, TOM only visited twice in about 12 years, but now I'm off it). I can't believe how many options there are for supplies these days...
I'm getting my bloodwork done on Wednesday to see if all of this hard work has paid off yet. Not expecting miracles, but I certainly hope that three months on meds, eating low carb/sugar, and losing 35 pounds will show an improvement! Not sure how long it will take to get the results.
Other drama in my life has calmed down, hoping to get things back onto some sort of routine. Sorry for the lack of personals, just too much to catch up on!0 -
This thread is awesome! I have 110 lbs to lose. My new habit we just started is walking my son to school. It's a half an hour walk one way, so an hour total. We got a new puppy that is going to be our motivation to get out there and get moving! She's an aussy/cattle dog mix so she needs lots of exercise. Can't wait to take her hiking! She's still too small (6 weeks old) but she'll get there. Our walk this morning was fabulous! The kids enjoyed it because we had the dogs with us (2 of them) and they loved walking with them. Before when we tried they would complain how long of a walk it was and how tired they were. So this was awesome!0

Not much to report. My kids gave me an early birthday present of a food processor. I think that I am really going to enjoy it. Yesterday I made an apple crumb pie with a custard in the filling. It was really yummy and gave me a chance to try all of the functions of the new toy. We had 7 here for dinner so there wasn't a lot left to worry about and I was able to have a piece and still stay under my goal.
I never really officially started the March challenge, but I am still struggling with getting enough water so I'm still focusing on that. It is becoming very spring-like here so it is fun and easy to get the walks in.
Have a great day. I hope we can soon quit talking about all the colds and flu. I'm sorry so many are struggling with illness.

Ooof what a week that was.
I talked to a bankruptcy lawyer and after spending the remainder of the week gathering paperwork.... today I filed and my court date is set for 4/8.
My apartment complex has a carpet cleaner coming in tomorrow so I had to get everything movable off the carpet (Just have my bedroom left to do tomorrow morning last thing and a really good vacuuming tonight).
All the stress of the last week pushed MowMow AND Book both into cat flu outbreaks. Book just has watery eyes but MowMow is a full blown snot factory and feeling like crap. So I have to cram an appetite stimulator down MowMow's throat twice a day to be sure he eats enough and I have to add extra water to his canned food to make sure he's staying hydrated enough. They BOTH get Llysine twice a day to try and slow the virus down so their bodies can push it back to remission.
Home from work today so I can steam MowMow every few hours to open up his congestion and of course since he's a big drama king Mama's boy I have to spend hours laying on the bed and cradling him while he curls up and sleeps.
So, no weight loss or exercise last week. PLENTY this weekend purging the apartment of boxes of stuff to good will, bags of shredded papers to recycling and bags of junk into the dumpster.0 -
Bump!
Back from a wonderful visit with my grands--eldest was 14 last week! She and I are 1 day apart with b'days and try to celebrate together each year. I tell her she was my 50th birthday present.
Trying to get a grip on my calorie intake. I'm having that dreaded cardiac ablation next week (March 19th) and want to get my nervous noshing under control. Cardiac mapping is Wednesday. That's not scary--just a CT with contrast, I hope.
Goals: to get 30 minutes of cardio in each day and 3 sessions of weight training this week (one will be on my own as med. stuff is complicating my life). When I have my ablation, I won't be able to work out for at least a week
but I have all three seasons of Downton Abbey on CD and plan to watch until bleary eyed---or hubby bans me from the TV room!
skinnyjeanz: your challenges are positively daunting!
grandmakaye: I so want a food processor!. My daughter loves hers. I got an illuminated magnifying mirror for my b'day. Now I can see all those wrinkles and weird facial hairs so much better.:ohwell:
Have a great week, everyone.0
