Good morning everyone,
I have a very busy day today so I just wanted to check in and say hi!
Toall of the Seahawks fan, they played a good game sorry for the lost! I really thought that they had it.
I have to go and do my exercise and I told my sister in law that I would come over and show her how to do one of my exercise videos. She wants to start exercising on a regular basis so we are now exercise buddies.
have a great day!
Mary from Minnesota

I would like to join this over 50. I am 52 and the weight just keeps adding up and I want it to go the other way. Looking for 1 or 2 people to talk to on a more regular basis. Not sure if I should join a group or try and find 2 people on my fitness pal who would like this. I weight 143 and would like to get to 125. I am 5'4.5''. Need accountability.0

Robin: {hugs} for both you and Bodi. It's so hard when they're not doing so well...0

Wind advisory here today and very chilly as a result! I don't know where that ground hog was but there's no way he could see his shadow here.
My buttercups are beginning to emerge. Had to put a barrier around them so the yard guy wouldn't mow down. I am very upset that for the second year in a row, they trimmed down my hydrangea bush. I need to let them know that the new growth comes from the old. There will be no flowers this year.
Going to get the yearly mammo in a while. No fun!
All have a great day! I need to go back and read. Missed a lot!0 -
Good morning! I've skimmed through the posts just to sort of catch up.
It is rainy and gray here. I think this has been the rainiest winter in memory. It seems that we've had such little sunshine for the past few months.
I had a good visit with my friend. We did some shopping for the house and so I now have night tables for my bedroom that are appropriately sized and two new lamps to go with the shades I bought several weeks ago. I moved the huge kitchen "island" that the previous owners had out of the kitchen and into the dining room. I want to get a buffet/sideboard/cabinet of some sort to go in there so the island is holding its space AND I am not constantly running in circles around the thing to reach the trashcan and the pantry! I am considering getting a SMALL kitchen cart with a cabinet to hold my son's gluten free foods since he needs separate storage space so that there is no chance of cross contamination. However, I have to wait until I have money for each new thing, so I will have PLENTY of time to look for what will work.
I ate pretty well over the weekend except we splurged on a couple of desserts. My main meals were what I would normally eat (well, for special occasion normal eating instead of soup and PBJs at home) so the desserts were the only "guilty" pleasure. I did, however, eat them slowly and savored each heavenly bite! I'll have my weigh in day on Friday and see if there is lasting damage.
I saw my doctor on Thursday for a regular six-month check up. At first he was a little upset with my blood pressure but I explained the circumstances under which it was taken (waiting in a long line to check in while having a strong need for the bathroom (and I don't mean peeing!), going to the bathroom and hearing my name called before I could get out, being rushed down the hall to the scales, running to catch up after I had gathered my coat, shoes, and purse from the scale area, to having barely had my behind touching the seat before my blood pressure was being taken) so he took it again himself. A very "normal" 116/80 so he changed his tune! He had me taking HCTZ for blood pressure (I think that's the right order for the letters) and I told him that I had been out for over a week so he decided that I didn't need it at all. He changed my prescription to "as needed" so I can take it if I have trouble with fluid retention this summer. Overall, a good visit!
Meg - Why would they do the smaller surgery first instead of going ahead and doing the knee replacement to begin with. That seems like unnecessary trauma to the body, not to mention the expense! I empathize with the waiting; it seemed to take forever for them to get around to allowing me to have my meniscus surgery.
Michele - Your friend was either very lucky or had a crappy doctor! No lying flat on the back was a caveat for me even after the two weeks of sitting up. It was, I think, a full six weeks before I could lie on my back. The positioning all depends on the location of the tear and where the gas bubble in placed in the eye. I'm really surprised that she is allowed to drive. I was literally blind in that eye for many weeks. The gas bubble completely blocks all vision. I didn't drive at all for four weeks and even then drove only to work and back. My surgery was on December 12 and I still wasn't driving at Christmas.
I offer congratulations to those with successes and good vibes to those who are struggling. I hope everyone has a great day!

crazydoglady = weekends, I drive to/from the gym. had I ridden there, they definitely would have been part of my stats and calorie burn!

Wow! Good morning. Low 60's here; I find this very hard to believe after freezing my buns off volunteering at that race on Saturday...........of course its raining along with that great temp.......can't have everything! And temp is to plummet and wind is to reach gusts of near 50mph so here we go again........
The game..........What Were They Thinking?????? Guess we'll never know. The only football team I really follow is the Cowboys, anyway......so, not much of an emotional investment in the outcome yesterday. Still.......sad. I did stay up for Jimmy Kimmel; very funny show last night.........and, then, since I made it that long, watched the rerun of the earlier Downton on PBS which I had hated missing........a rare "intentional" late, lare night for me.
Must get a few things together for the little Williamsburg trip tomorrow. It's going to be an eating challenge. A good friend's sister owns one of the well-known and oldest local restaurants (The Old Chickahominy House); so, we can't miss that, and then there's The Trellis, fabulous food all the way. I'm hoping all the extra walking and good judgement on my part save the day. I'm afraid I've turned my DD into somewhat of a food tourist as we have our favorites everywhere, she's been talking about Aroma's, her favorite.
Sassy..........Congrats on your five lbs. down for Jan. We are off to a good start as I did the same!
Spedangie........Great attitude, lots of exercise!!! Welcome!
Tara.....Did you find that free exercise thread?
Renny.......Gorgeous pic!
Red...........Major congratulations on your run!
Robin.......((((((((hugs))))))))))) today for you.......
Carol........Good grief!!! Cut down your hydrangea????
Off to shower and errands.
Hunger is not an emergency.
Determined.

Good morning everyone! I've spent the last hour reading all the posts in February (3 pages) and by the time I was finished there was a fourth page! Goodness we are a chatty bunch!
This morning I took the kids to school (13 degrees and starting to snow) and had to take the little guy in to the office to be checked out by the nurse to get the OK to go back to class. She pronounced him clear of head lice and sent him on his way.
Last night I was watching Downton, relaxing, and hubby was in his office working. Suddenly I was on my feet shrieking, when Robert smacked the sleazy guy he found in Cora's bedroom! Hubby came running down the hall to see what I was so excited about. He just rolls his eyes. Not a fan of Downton. I also have been watching the Granchester series, and like it a lot too. So, Sunday night is my TV night. Hubby has the rest of the week.
Barbie, Thanks for getting us started again.
Sally, I like the mats for dog training idea, but not sure Bruno would ever do it. He is clinically insane, I'm afraid.
Meg, I loved the story about the naked dancing.
Sharon, I'm sorry about your son's divorce. The fact that she is upset that he got an attorney says a lot about her, doesn't it. I would NOT have kissed a dead cat, no matter how much I loved him. And that microwave would be trashed. Glad the Frozen party went well. Funny about the Girl's Cake thing with the little friend.
Mary, I don't think I will ever look "good" in a swimsuit. Too much lose skin. The best I can hope for is one that fits, covers all my important parts, and wears well. I have had trouble - especially at my heaviest - getting a suit that was big enough in the bottom and small enough in the top, because I don't have a lot upstairs. It's gotten a little easier since I've lost a little weight. Things have evened out a little.
StrawbB, When I have a craving for something at night, say ice cream, then I make a deal with myself. I eat an apple (a small one) and if I still want the ice cream afterward I will have it. Usually the apple is enough. I'd really rather not have ice cream in the house, but it seems like Hubby wants more and more of it while I want less and less.
Viv, Good plan on the computer time. That was my goal for January, to stop playing games and spending so much time on the computer. Didn't happen. I discovered a couple of new games and starting learning facebook. Now I'm spending more time on the computer than before.
Heather, Flowers! Already?! Have a great trip and I hope your hip pain stays under control.
Jan, I loved Williamsburg. I hope you have a great time. I have a bad habit of associating a trip with whatever special food we ate there. For Williamsburg it was the Smithfield Ham deli type place where they had fantastic country ham, dry and super salty. I loved it then. Couldn't do that these days.
Julieferraro06, I don't know what Herbal Magic is but I'm sure it's not a good idea. Stick with us and we can help you do it without spending a fortune on diet stuff.
Sassy, great job on your goals for January. Hope that foot is fully recovered.
Spedangie, where are you from? Wow, you are so active! Do you have a special seat for your bike? Even after a few minutes on mine it feels like I've been sitting on a fence post.
Deb, sorry about your husband's heart trouble. Very stressful for you, I know. I hope he recovers quickly.
Barb, glad your visit to Colorado was so much fun!
Jsadek1954, How much are you trying to lose? Can you walk or something on your lunch break? Maybe before work?
Beth, More bad weather!!!!! Stay warm and safe.
Celticred48, Sorry about the shingles. Ouch! I think you are our first from Ecuador. I know it sounds wrong, but the best way to feel energetic is to pretend to BE energetic. Force yourself to start doing active stuff, and soon you will realize how good it feels to feel active and strong, and it will make you want to keep doing it and adding more activity too. Energy expent equals energy increased. Not sure that is even a sentence.
Tina, 3 pounds in just 5 days! Wow!
Red, congrats on the 4 mile run and 4 mile walk!
Twhitehead, sorry about more snow and ice for you too.
Renny, I love hearing about your riding lessons.
Sally, Clothes shopping! The dresses and skorts sound so nice. I love it - "find me a small"!
Michele, love the pool pics, but it really does need some color. How about painting your praying mantis like a chameleon?
Sharon, yes, I do worry about the chest pains. I've had some heart trouble in the past and the last thing I want is another heart cath or bypass. So every little twinge sends me into panic mode. I try not to tell hubby though. I don't like how he sits and stares at me if I tell him my chest hurts. So I just secretly get a nitro tab if it feels too bad and sit a while.
Sassy, your decluttering made me tired. I need a nap after reading about it. But wouldn't it have been easier, instead of writing down that a screw needs tightened, just to actually tighten the screw?
Diana, sorry about your sore leg.
Robin, sorry about Bodi and your sadness. I imagine there is at least a partial connection. It hurts to see someone we love struggle.
Mary, how great that your sister has become your exercise buddy! I wish my sister lived closer.
Auburn2014, this isn't an actually group that you join. It's a list, so all you have to do is bookmark it (click the star at the top of the page above the magnifying glass) and keep coming back.
Peachstategal, sorry about the hydrangea bush. Our lawn guy once mowed down a 7 foot tall magnolia tree with leaves and flowers. Said he didn't see it.
Well, I have made it to the end of my four pages of notes (in almost 2 hours) and now I see that several MORE posts have been made, so I have missed a few.
Got to get to work. Bye for now. Have a great day!

Today's joke of the day:
A new business was opening, and one of the owner’s friends sent flowers for the occasion. But when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said. “Rest in Peace”
The owner was little upset and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rater than getting angry, you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congratulations on you new location.”

Good morning MyFitnessPal ladies! (Said in Robin Williams' good morning vietnam's voice.)
I'm not sure I'll ever remember everyone's names and posts unless I take notes! I do,however, smile, frown, recognize and feel each of your sentiments.
The decluttering would have had me drinking martinis, yes plural, by the 2d room! The rule about filing in our house is, since I'm the family accountant, the hubs is the filer. Guess which job actually gets done?
I'm tired today. Might get in a casual walk just so I can get my steps in, but it's not going to be a cardio anything. Need coffee. NOW....

Hi everyone, I'm new to the group so my goals for Feb 2013?
1) Maintain weight loss
2) Tone up
3) Meal planning ie, variety, convenience, options, new foods
4) Help others who are on this journey
I must say how suprised I am at how much little changes can affect me. I thought at the beginning that 2 L of water a day would kill me. Now I'm actually looking forward to drinking water.0 -
Love the chameleon!0

Hi there lovely ladies!
Too tired to say much, but I've read through the posts with my eyes closing every few seconds and I thought I'd just updste you.
Flight was v cramped and uncomfortable and I only slept for about 30 mins, but I watched two great films, one French, one German and the food was better than average.
Picked up at the sirport - our driver seems very nice, educated and organised - and we managed to get a nice long swim in at the pool. Burnt off a few cals. We chose a la carte tonight and I had cuttlefish curry with rice and a selection of veg curries. There also were relishes and yoghourt. Didn't eat too badly. We have bought lots of water and have been making tea in the room and also mixing it with Pernod which we brought with us. It has been out 6 o'clock tipple for years now.
- I dozed off after swimming, but I am almost ready for bed now despite the jet lag. I have a little night light for reading if I can't sleep.
- Early rising tomorrow for a long drive to the Cultural Triangle. Nice Hotel. An elephant ride late afternoon. There is a lot of wildlife at this next hotel with viewing spots. Our room is elevated with views! I think.
- My back was plaguing me on the plane, but the swim seems to have done it good. Crossing fingers for the long drive. We will probably try to purloin some of the breakfast to have for lunch. :bigsmile: That usually works for us.
- Got to set the alarm!
- love to all, Heather, beginning to relax in Sri Lanka.

I'm here for anyone wanting a buddy. Have over 40 lbs to lose0

• Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.
*I take fiber supplements every day as needed due to some meds. I recently switched to the gummies and even though they add 15 calories a day, I have found that it is like a desert. I’m not a big desert eater but do enjoy just a little bite of something sweet after dinner. These are doing the trick.
*Michele, what a beautiful pool and yard. Yes, some color on that little critter would be good.
*Toni, I hope your back gets better soon.
*Joyce, you made me laugh about Charlie channel surfing. What is it about men and that clicker? And why does it drive me so crazy? So many questions and so few answers.
*Sweepypie, I hope the weight loss wasn’t due to you being poorly, but congrats on the loss!!! I hope you start feeling up to par soon.
*Sassy, how long did you say all that organizing took? Wow! First of all, where did you find him? My hubby is a neat freak and likes organization but I can’t see him having the patience for a project like that. You have to feel great to have all that done. And talk about quality time together. Way to go.
* auburn, Welcome. Visiting this group each day is a great way to get support and learn valuable tips for this lifestyle. Come often and let us know what is going on with you and we will gladly support you in your journey. There is no joining needed.. just come on in.
*peachstategal, good luck with “the big squeeze”. It’s just one of the many joys of being a woman. I have to say that I have found a few things I do like about being older: No monthly cycles, don’t have to shave as often, can act a little nutty when the occasion calls for it and just pass it off as “crazy old lady”, oh yes and the forgetfulness-I can’t remember any others at the moment.
*Carol, good Dr visit. Don’t you love those?
*Sylvia, I love the picture and the colors. That’s a great idea for the praying mantis.
Good joke as always.
*celticlass, welcome and good for you on the water drinking.
*Heather, sorry the flight was not the best, but glad you too the opportunity to see some good movies. Wishing you a wonderful adventure for the rest of your trip.
So far today, I have made a pot of beef stew. I have a meeting tonight that I had to make deviled eggs for and that is done. Now I need to give myself a haircut and take my shower. Hopefully I can work in time for my exercise before I have to leave. I’m not good at doing it at night so don’t want to wait until I get home.
Welcome to any Newbies that I missed. We are always happy to have you join us.
My word for now is savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
But, I also like opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.

Happy Monday ! ! !
It was a busy weekend again, but I fell asleep smiling. DS bowled average at league Saturday, then I drove him and a friend to Park/Rec basketball, made mac & cheese and apples for them for lunch, then friend went home around 4:00pm. That's when DS and I went grocery shopping, and DH left for work. By morning we had WAY too much snow, so DH used the snowblower, and I attempted to take DS to the bowling tournament, but my car wouldn't even consider leaving the driveway. DH got dressed to take us, but his car couldn't get off our block to the main road. Just then my Dad came home, and gave us a ride. He stayed at the tournament for awhile for lunch (so he wouldn't have to make himself something at home).
This weekend, I was determined to stick to "no eating in the bowling alley". It was really tough, since there was some free hotdogs and desserts after the final tournament. But, I stuck to my guns, and only ate at home this weekend. No loss, but no gain, so that is a win in my book!
DS and his doubles partner were ON FIRE during the tournament. Together they bowled 1194 (partner has 134 average, so he was really on fire). Then, during singles, DS bowled 209, 224, and 266. That should put him in Second Place (depending on how a few other kids bowled yesterday, but I didn't hear any chatter).
While we were at the bowling alley, I had taco meat in the crock pot, so I finished cutting up the veggies, and my Dad even joined us for tacos for supper (he earned it, since he drove us around town all day).
As far as declutter, I only got 1/2 way done with the kitchen counter, and 3/4 done with the kitchen table. I will work on the Avon Graveyard tonight or tomorrow, depending on when our W-2's arrive (we use our refund for the National Bowling Tournament in March). I hope the person who comes to do the inspection is able to look around all the mess and clutter. I mean, it's not like I have a ton of free time to clean up after everybody.
Haven't heard from DD lately. Hopefully that means her job is going well, school is going well, and she has not "broken up" with her boyfriend again (lol?). I'm sure it seems odd to many of you, but yes, I almost have 2 seperate families. DD is from first marriage and is now 24 and lives in Minnesota. DS is from second marriage and is only 14. DH did not have kids before we met. DD was equally as exhausting and expensive when she was a kid. She was into the performing arts, so we travelled the state for vocal competitions and try-outs for Musicals, etc. In fact, DS was 4 days old when I had to take DD to a studio to make a commercial. Since he was just over 5 pounds, he was quite the hit at that time. My mom used to say "I hope you have 3 just like you". Well, she was right ! ! ! I was all of that and then some, I'm sure (probably still am).
Now, time to see if the software in my computer billing program is fixed, since I have the whole month of January to get straight. Hope everyone makes wise choices today.
Hugs to Everyone ! ! !

Hello All!! I am from Mt. Vernon, IL. I am a mother of 3 grown children and the proud grandma of 3 amazing grandchildren.
I'm tired of starting over. February is the month I am going to move forward. I have been logging my food and activity here on Myfitnesspal for the month of January and I made it to the gym 7 times in January. My downfall and weakness is my eating. My husband will not jump on board the healthy train with me. My daughter got a second job working nights, there went my gym buddy. So, I have decided starting today I am doing this all on my own. NO MORE EXCUSES!!! I am going to eat healthy and clean and work out no less than 3 times a week. My goals are to lose 25lbs, and to tone everything. My 6 year old granddaughter asked me a couple of years ago if I was going to still be alive when she is my age. I just turned 50 in December. I did promise her that I would be here to see her family. So I have got to get busy working on that promise! I also want to instill healthy eating and exercise in my grandchildren. My granddaughter has picked up one of my favorite activities, she loves doing yoga

well I am just sitting down,,today has been a day..
snow ice snow, did go in to work for 3 1/2 hrs, the roads were horrific,,lucky I am only a couple of miles away.. had to shovel my way in, and shovel the back deck , then when I got home, had to snow blow 2 driveways and shovel our deck and the paths for the dogs, our new neighbor has a rinky dink snowblower and was having trouble so went up there and helped them too.. It is snowing to beat the band still with white out conditions, hoping it stops soon, it looks like I havent even done a thing.. Oy, wish I was in Florida0 -
Tuesday here and done my 2 mile walk this morning.
The Rivers Rattler and Inglis on our property are running VERY slow and low, we need some rain here.
Pensions in bank so need to finish my list and go grocery shopping. 50Km round trip. Fish and chips from jetty fish shop, TREAT girls
Food logged at 1655 calories, all well
In the 6 weeks since first seeing BRIAN I have LOST 4.25 inches, 1.32 total pounds,1.2% BF, 3.2 lbs FAT; GAINED 1.87lbs LBM, 1.9% muscle and 4 lbs muscle. Happy with THAT result I see Brian again on Friday for official weigh-in
Was hoping Seahawkes would win, bah!
Lesley in Tasmania0 -
ok, I ate, and got a load of laundry in and then I just went out and shoveled the deck and dog pen, 40 more minutes.. well I havent even caught up to Barbie yet lol 15,000 steps
that is it for me tonight.. definatly need a flexerall.
and hopefully I go in at 9:30 tomorrow..
all I can say is a few years ago I never would have had the stamina to do all that I did today.. so hooray for me0 -
More rain and colder temps as expected here. A day of laundry, packing, and errands. Leaving tomorrow about noon, I think.
Sylvia..........I was cheering when Robert hit that *kitten* too!!! Yep, also love Smithfield ham here. Great joke today, lol.
terri..........YAY! for son's bowling score!!!! Bet he's happy!
Heather..........Glad your flight was uneventful and you enjoyed the inflight movies.
Janet........My gummies have fish oil in them; a much better was to take it as far as I'm concerned! Fber sounds like a good idea too. Yum, beef stew!
Lesley.......Fingers crossed for rain for you.
Smith........A lot of us do yoga.........good luck to you!
Welcome newbies! Stick around, come back often, comment on what catches your eye, share your lives, and please let us know where you are from........specific or general.
I've been thinking today a lot about the moderator vs. abstainer labels which come up now and then here. Yesterday I ate two of DH's fig newtons (110 cals!!!) and was OK (and within cals.) , BUT, on another day, twelve of them would not have been enough. For me, I think it comes down to how intact and strong my willpower is on any given day, in any given situation............I seem to be both, or maybe neither...............does this sound like anyone else on here?
Hope your evenings are good.
Hunger is not an emergency.
Determined.

Moderator or abstainer--if I look at something and can imagine myself eating the whole box, bag, or container, then I eat none of it. Decluttering----I do best when I work on a project for 15-30 minutes a day and stop before I feel overwhelmed....that's a style I figured out through personal experience.
I felt very sad at the end of the Super Bowl yesterday but was grateful that my sadness was only for a game and not for a serious life event.
in the spirit of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, I've read all the posts and won't even consider trying to respond to all the things that interested me. I love that we are a large group so if one of us doesn't feel like commenting, there are others who will do the job.
(*) Michele, thanks for posting the photos of your awesome pool and the tons of rock you moved to make it look so great....I like the idea of a painting the praying mantis like that colorful chameleon....or a clown...or a rainbow....I like lots of color.

It's another showy day here in New Hampshire. The roads here are not good enough to head out to the gym so showering snow will have to do as my exercise for today. It's great reading everyone's posts. It's nice to know there are others working toward the same goals of losing weight and becoming healthier. There is so much positive energy here.
My February goals:
1. Log everything I eat every day
2. Exercise 4 times a week
3. Drink less coffee (with less sugar)
4. Eat a salad every day
5. Eliminate as much meat as possible from my diet (for medical reasons not a philosophical statement)

I have noticed the same thing regarding the water. I actually look forward to it as well. And I have noticed that I actually wake up in the morning feeling thirsty if I don't drink as much as I should.

Just saving my place.Think I will use "Aware" again this mo. Made a vat of beef veggie soup. Tastes so good in this cold weather.My slo cooker holds 6 qt.......a lot of soup!
We were lucky,no storm here,it was all North.Hope everyone in NE is ok. Sure a lot of work to get rid of so much snow.
Going to be looking for a new pair of running shoes tomorrow....not that I run![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
,but the runners seem to last for me.
Grdaughter in Fl sent pics of their new apt complex. Love the gym,all kinds of machines & classes.Just out her door & down one block . I'm off to read.....Pat0 -
Tammy, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, i'm past 50 and half way to 60. My mom turned 90 this year and has kidney disease and memory loss, its made me realize how important being healthy is.0

good grief! How are we on 4 pages already! And I can't find January's thread to read all I missed.
I guess I'll just say I'll try harder to support you all in the future....maybe that's a good goal for this month.
For right now, my goals for February are to get 7,000 steps a day and to exercise by doing something every other day. I think my knee can handle that. I may even attempt to get back in the pool...just so scared my knee will give out and I won't be able to bear weight.
We did buy a nu-step recumbent exercise bike on Saturday. it will be delivered on the 13th. It has a push-pull motion and not a true cycling motion, like the one at PT.
OK dinner is ready; leftovers from last night. not the healthiest but not too bad either. Take care all, Meg from Omaha where we had 6" of snow. Not as much as the east coast, but our first real snowfall of the year.0 -
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed. After being irritated at everything today, I told the office I needed a time-out and promptly took myself on a 3-mile jaunt around the hood. Last week I would've hit Starbucks for a coffee and maybe a treat. Sticking to my February goals.... less coffee!
Abstain? For me? Some things are just not worth the calories. I pick and choose what I will spend my calories on. A couple of months ago, I was so craving a piece of lemon meringue pie and the hubs didn't just buy the piece, he bought the pie! I had one slice, then another, then another and before I knew it, I had eaten all but one slice of pie in 2.5 days! Then, I decided to check out the calories and just about had a heart attack. Who knew??!!!! Haven't touched another piece of pie since then!
A glass of wine? A piece of pie? Easy peasy. Water? Wine? A little tougher on a Friday night, easy on a Monday.... Cookie? Ok, but only if I exercised that day... I pick and choose and make sound decisions. I didn't used to. Just sayin....

Sweepypie: Way to go! Glad to hear about your success.
Sick today but pushed myself to go to the gym. Glad I did. . . I feel like I accomplished something today!
Have a good Tuesday!
