    Hi everybody :),
    I know just how you feel. I no longer wake up every day dreading the day knowing how I will feel in just a few short hours thinking about how fat I am and depressed and dwelling on myself ... SO selfish ... every single hour of every single day.

    I am very thankful for this journey and as we all know, it's not easy.

    I hope by the time of your birthday I get to see an even more slimmer you and I'm sure I will. :):)

    When I read your first paragraph mhm...that was me ....and I am very thankful even though it is very hard but I am thankful that I can experience this change in me. Others notice it as well and I love it :). I am hoping that at the time of my birthday I will be quite a bit lighter again....time will tell...and yes I worked out during the past days ......posting in a moment :)

    Thanks all for the positive comments on my pictures ...I have to admit this was a HUGE step for me as pictures have been evil for me for the longest time. I hate them because I simply thought I don't look good....silly I know but my self esteem was very low especially during these past couple years. I am working on that...and I think I am on the right track.....one step at a time :).

    Anyways....I worked out even though I can't seem to catch Ms. Flo lol....well we are not that far in yet soo I still have a chance haha



    06/17 100 minutes
    06/18 75 minutes
    06/19 90 minutes

    This weekend will be busy and filled with lots of movement :).

    I hope everybody is doing well!!

    6/19 - 166 minutes

    Busy day here and boy my body is feeling it! I got in my usual morning exercise & a little yoga, worked, mowed my lawn, & cleaned the house in preparation for my in laws visiting. Thank goodness I got out of work at 1pm today or I think I'd still be cleaning. Getting ready to crash into a deep sleep but wanted to pop on here first and say hi.

    Anyone got any big plans for the weekend?

    Hey, Amanda. Wonderful job on the time!! Sounds like you were and are very busy. This will be me next weekend as I prepare for company for a few days.

    Weekend for me a is a trip to Farmers Market, grocery store, cooking supper for dh, watching Cardinals baseball, dedicated walking as much as I can all day on Sat./Sun., Church tomorrow (playing Pipe Organ), and enjoying just having a weekend with my hubby. :)

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

    Sounds like you are a busy, busy bee lol.....but awesome job on your exercises...moving is the trick and you are certainly doing that :).

    We will be working on our other property...it's sorta like a getaway property for camping and such....lots of gardening to do there today...I bet I will be a tired camper tonight lol.

    Sounds like wonderful weekend plans :). I will give you some competition this weekend for all the walking lol but I am with you to enjoy the time with hubby and kids :). Hubby works at night so usually he sleeps during the day but he is off these next 4 days so we can do things :).

    Have a great weekend guys...happy moving!!!!

    You probably will run rings around me, Sue. :)

    LOVE your graphics.

    Great weekend for you, too!

    Sue - I love those graphics, especially the part about think about where you started. I just never want to feel that frumpy and unhealthy again. And a getaway property sounds divine! I'm sure you'll burn a boatload of calories getting that gardening done.

    Flo - that sounds like a great weekend! I love a good farmer's market AND a low key weekend. Enjoy!

    Amanda, thanks for the encouragement :). Last year at this point I really felt like I didn't want to move or do anything. Today, I want to go outside, I want to move, having fun you know. I know I was depressed but I feel like I am getting the fun in live back into me :).

    Flo, I am not so sure that would run rings around you haha...we could give that a try lol.

    I will talk to you guys later...off to our property. Spent the last hour working in the back yard while my dear hubby had to fix the riding mower ...but now all set and off we go...woooshhhh :)

    Good morning everybody :),

    oh I was moving and this morning god I can tell I am not getting any younger lol. However, it was all worth it. I attached the updated ticker and it looks good :). Not sure if the weather agrees with my plans sigh so we'll see how much I can do or if I am stuck to the treadmill lol.

    Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm in for this exercise challenge and will go back and add up what I've done since Jun 8th. I schedule my work-outs in my calendar, so can capture the information for the entire challenge.

    Thanks!

    6/20 - 56 minutes

    Mary - welcome! Glad to have another challenger here to cheer on.

    Thank goodness MFP has the reports so I can pull my totals, because I'm admittedly too lazy for tickers on this site. I'll have to see where I'm at after today. I'll admit, I'm in a funk today so my exercise numbers will be miniscule. In-laws visiting can do easily put me in a funk so I'm glad they're back on the road.
