"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." ~Charles Dickens

March is coming in like a lion here. Hopefully by mid month spring will be in the air.

I just updated my profile picture the dates start at 3/2/14 and end at 3/1/15. It shows what a wasted year looks like. I stopped doing what it took to reach my goals, I had "life issues that just got in my way." Sound familiar?

Let's all make a pledge to ourselves to not let another year go by without reaching our goals, whatever they are. We are all over 60 here, we have a limited number of days left in our lives. We deserve to be the best we can be, let's all get serious about our goals.

So very true...

62 and beginning less than 900calories per day. Doctors orders. I have a very sedimentary job.

good morning all - March came in wet, miserable and dreary, hopefully it will lead to a great spring. Wow - JKJ - 900 calories is tough, byt like marilyn says it is doable, just maybe not 100%. I try to keep mine at 1200, I have a sedimentary job also. Although only 120 days to retirement and hope to be a lot more active. I use a smart phone program called pacer, which will link with MFP, and calculates your steps and calories burned. fortunately where I work really promotes fitness and we are allowed two 20 minute breaks a day to go for walks or whatever. I love it. I don't always do it, but I can if I want to, which is a nice feeling.

Here's to a fit and fabulous month!

I had a bit of a binge last night. Nothing like it would have been in the past, but I had to amend my diary after having submitted it after dinner. I have logged it today. I was getting down about it, but logging it seemed to make it better. I can look back on it and know that I did myself no favor last night. I am heading out shortly for a SS classic class, so I can just get on with my life as it should be.

Eat, log, move, and repeat is my new motto.

DAVID TEA has a lot of tea's I have few cup a day .

Yesterday and today were beautiful here, but a storm is coming in tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully, Spring will come soon.

We were on a road trip all of February and great weather was everywhere we were; it was amazing. Denver had beautiful weather and we went for several walks. There was snow in the Rockies, but not too bad. Vancouver, WA had sunshine and nice temps for our visit with the grandkids and we had a couple of great hikes--up and down elevations. The Oregon coast was awesome and San Francisco, of couse, was wonderful with more hikes on the bluffs along the ocean. I got to meet Californiagirl face-to-face and it was a great experience. We also visited Zion and Bryce National Parks. It was a vacation to remember.

I did gain 2.5 lbs., and if tonight is any indication, I'm going to have to really discipline myself to get back to my maintenance weight. That's why I'm here, right. It's good to be back everyone.

Good Morning Everyone!! I give you credit for those folks that are following a strict low cal diet, I was taken aback when I started this 21 day challenge with the caloric amount that was figured out for me I do not think I can eat as much as it states. I'm just going to keep eating healthy and keep tracking!! Hope you all have a great day!!!

I won't be checking in for a week - heading out to Vegas for the nascar race and other fun things. for this week I have lost a lb, but I dont' know if it will stay off. We usually do ALOT of walking when we are out there, not unusual to get 14 - 15,000 steps. I just have to be careful not to eat my way through Vegas. Ya'll have a good week!

Jeanrob--congratulations on the birth of Heather Lucy King. It is wonderful that your niece chose that name.

Sitting in the couch after dancing for 30 minutes waiting for my inhaler to kick in and thought I'd get caught up and add my own two cents. Today I started a stretching routine that I will try to do every day--it doesn't take much time or burn many calories, but hopefully, it will help with the minor aches and pains. Also, started working with my little dumb bells again to try to build some strength in my arms. Hopefully, these routines added to my regular treadmill or hula hoop will get my body in shape and burn calories. I didn't eat too badly while I was gone, and we walked/hiked in hilly/steep areas a couple of times a week, but my body still got flabby and feels unused.
