Thanks all for the well wishes for Hubby! I think we are good. He made it through therapy today and did well. Also, it is official!!! He is coming home on Saturday!! They wanted to know what time I would be there and I said that I would be there at 10:00 (can't be there earlier) and if he is ready to go, great. If not, I will wait until he is. So very excited! Kids have already made plans to bring him his favorite pizza for dinner on Saturday night!0

Caramel that is horrible! My heart goes out to your coworker.
KellySue that is fantastic news!!!! Saturday will not come quick enough for you. 0 -
KellySue, That's awesome! Enjoy the success!0

I hate, hate, hate being tied to a particular time for aerobics classes. With 3 kids (2 teens!), 2 dogs, a husband, and - oh you get the idea - I'm never on time and then end up skipping. I've started tuning in the Daily Burn on my iPad and think I may stay. Anyone else have comments on Daily Burn?
On a related note, this weekend's walk was 3.25 miles through the botanical garden. Azaleas, dogwoods, cherries, and camellias in bloom.

Yay, KellySue!b
I lifted today. That is 2 days in a row. So, tomorrow is a rest day.0 -
Hi everyone!!!! Sorry won't be able to address everyone.
KS glad to hear hubby is well!!
Caramel, so sad to hear about your coworker. My goodness! That tiny strawberry? I ate it today, it wasn't too sweet. There are more but they are smaller and green.
Ruby, nice!!! It's our second year yo attempt container planting. The soil here is horrible. We had some successes snd some disappointments. Our mint is coming out again and our rosemary. We are attempting tomatoes again but Texan varieties.
I did a Bikram yoga class today. Namaste!0 -
Kelly Sue - YEAH, I am so happy for you. I know Saturday will not come soon enough for you. That will be so great to have your family back together again.
Caramel - Prayers to you and you coworker. That is horrible news.
Alisha - thanks for the beautiful photos of the blooms. It was snowing here today, Yes, snowing!!!! Thanks for the sharing the color.
OMG ya all, I cannot stand the way I look in the gym mirrors. I did not realize how bad and out of shape I had gotten. I am trying to stay strong and not be negative about myself but this is the 1st time ever I feel uncomfortable to work out in public with my body. I know I have to start somewhere but this is hard. I cannot believe how much strength I have lost since I had a full array of equipment. Next week I am going to start another round of Chalene Extreme at home in the mornings and then use the gym later in the day.0 -

Spending the next several days helping to run the US Chess Federation National Junior High championship tournament. Lots of hours, little sleep, and not enough exercise. At least I have learned how to eat correctly at these things.0

Happy Hump Day!! WooHoo! My kickboxing class was cancelled last night so I went to the bounce house with Jacob- not really sure how to calculate the calorie burn for chasing a two year old through the bounce places and climbing, crawling, sliding and, of course, bouncing! Fun times! I think I probably cancelled out any calories I burned because we had to go to the FroYo place after- my grandson loves those little popper things!
I told you I would post pics of the waterfalls and was finally able to load them to my computer the other night so here they are:
Alishaspeingle- pretty flowers. Looks like it was a great day to walk through the botanical gardens. We have had rain here for the last three days. Not solid, but enough that it makes walking outdoors wet!
No workout today- it's my long day, but hopefully back at kickboxing tomorrow. Also, thinking about getting my gazelle out of the closet and using it in the mornings. I have gained some weight with all that has been going on lately and I need to really get back on track now that my hubby will be coming home.
Have a great day all!

Hooray Kelly Sue!!!!!!!
Hi everyone! Morning workout: ripped in 30 week 1 video and a mini challenge with another group, plan to do an upper body lifting session this afternoon.
Have an awesome day!!!!0 -
Love all the pictures! Specially the flowers. I told my kids this past Friday and Saturday was summer, sunny and 23. Told them Sunday and Monday were fall and now we're back to winter! High of 4 today and I saw some flakes out there.
Home from work today and got into Kickboxing. Hoping to get in gear and get some baking done. Decided to ignore the cheaper time of use for hydro and try and get all this flippin laundry done! I know, I'm a wild and crazy gal.0 -
Love all the pictures of flowers and waterfalls. Makes it feel like spring even though I just walked Kali in flurries.
No running today. Was out for an hour walk at work picking up garbage and delivering flower seeds to the houses in the neighbourhood. Just put a ground turkey meatloaf into the oven, it will be joined soon by some baby potatoes with rosemary. Yum. Yum.
Feeling really great. No feeling bloated, no more knee pain or migraines.0 -
Afternoon workout: upper body lifting and core work. Hoping to go swimming tomorrow! Haven't been in the pool since before my trip. I joined the gym to use the pool and I only swim once a week.
I'm thinking about canceling.
Jackie, glad to hear you feel better!0 -

Our low was 54F and I'm ashamed to say that I did do a little complaining about the cold. Please forgive me.0 -
I got home from work in time to lay out a few soaker hoses in the garden. Even with all the rain we've had the last two weeks, after skipping a couple of days, it's already drying out. Saw little green beans on the vines. Won't be long now.
I soaked in a very hot tub last night and my tailbone/hip is much better. I can even walk without a hitch in my giddy-up.

Larro I am so jealous! Spring just wants nothing to do with us. Then again my hubby was telling the kids about the one time we went camping for May 2-4 (Victoria day, think it's the third Monday in May)and it was sleet and snow when we setting up! We're in southern ontario so it's no where near as bad as up north, at least there's no snow left on the ground.0

I am 46 , pretty new to map but I find it helpful when I can chat with fellow dieters I have kept me weight off for awhile now but still have food issues at times of stress. Always need support 0

Just for the record, the hanging garden was right side up to me. You all need to stop walking on the ceilings!0

Hello my name is Hope, people call me Hopie. I'm 44 years old. I'm battling cancer for the 3rd time now. I am 5'3 and I'm wanting to lose 20-30 pounds. I have a genetic condition called Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome. VHL syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by the formation of tumors and fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in many different parts of the body. I am married to a wonderful husband and artist and have a 13 year old that shares the VHL condition with me and unfortunately suffered a stroke because of it. I'm very excited to have found MFP and the club to help get back and stay in shape and to make new friends. Please feel free to add me as a friend.0

Morning Kiddies !
Just checking in. I'm still alive. Still maintaining.
Just saw the weather report. Noooooo back down to the 20's tonight. Enough already. We were hoping to start planting this weekend.
Larro- I'm so envious. Question for you ( A friend started writing a column " Fanatical Botanical " for the newspaper ) Do you plant cover crops during the dormant season ? In her column she stated you needed to till the soil less and plant something like clover or so forth while your garden is dormant.
Kelly Sue- I'll continue to pray for your hubbies recovery. I was really hoping to see he was coming home soon.
Welcome newbies !
I'll check back later.
