Welcome Heal4444! I moved to Alberta from Ottawa, Ont.; originally from BC. I'm not missing those wicked ice storms out there but I do miss the Tim horton's on every corner!!! No worries, we shiver with you here in Northern Alberta with temps -40 without a windchill LOL. This is my excuse as to why I hold on to my weight, it's a necessity...

Hi Mom_to_5,

Thanks for the warm welcome. Much appreciated in this cold Ontario weather! You just joined 1 wk ago? I just joined hours ago and loving it already! Everyone so nice, genuine, caring and encouraging on this site.

Yeah, Tim's!! It's so funny. When my friends say, let's meet at a Tim's at the corner. I'll always say, which Tim's at which corner. It's like Lewis Black's routine about seeing a Starbucks across the street is another Starbucks..... too funny!! :noway:

Eh!
Yeah, Family Day is coming up in Feb!!
All the best to you too, eh!

Your Welcome!

I am so withyou on the cold, it is snowing here again and i'm so sick of it! What part of Ontario are you from? I'm in Niagara Region. We don't have a Tim's on everey corner as i'm in the country, but i know what youo mean from when i lived in the city with the Tim's on every corner!! Great now i want Tim's!! LOL

Well i did join back in the fall but never did anything, i have been tracking everything on here since the 22nd. And so far so good. ANd yes EVERYONE on here is Great, if you have a question someone will answer it and give you any advice they can!!

Well got to go!!

And Again Good Luck!!

We have Family day in Alberta too.

Well today I am doing great so far. I went to the gym this morning while DH and DD went to get groceries. I had an OK work out, my last couple of time going I havent been able to do a full 10 min on the treadmill at a time! it's sooo frustrating. Last wekk I was doing 20 and having trouble getting my heart rate up. Well I still do have that problem, but my lower legs just can't seem to handle any longer than 9 and a half min or so before I have to cool down. Anyone know how I can keep my shins from hurting while on the treadmill? Any suggestionw would be very helpfull. They get so tight and become painfull if I don't stop. I do plenty of strectching before I get on the treadmill. Is it my shoes? they are Nike's but I have had them for like 8 years or something crazy like that. Maybe I'm not getting enough foot support? I only managed to burn off like 125 cals :frown: Anyway I did an extra 5 reps per weight set today and pushed myself hard, inhopes I could try and make up a bit for the lack of cals burned during my Cardio.

:flowerforyou: Hi Everyone!! Hope you are all having a good evening!! Are we all pumped up for weigh in on Wednesday?! I am so tempted to step on the scale but will hold back..hope I am in for a surprise!! I was reading some other posts on the site and for those of you who have not seen it, need to go to you tube and check out the Zumba fitness video!! It is awesome! I thoughrly enjoy it and by the end of the 5 minutes i am totally exhausted, yet energetic..lol..go figure!! Have a great night everyone!!

I am fairly new to mfp but I'm game....I am from southern ontario too.....Timmies Rules here......those darn ice capps. Start me up at 260 (gasp).......Go Canada!!!!!!!

Hi Fellow Canucks!!

Enjoying a Sunday, here, eh!

TammyWall: I you tubed some Zumba fitness classes like you mentioned. Oh my, those steps are fun to follow! Tks. I can't imagine taking an hour of those classes. Yikes. :noway:

Thanks WannaBme for the suggestions :flowerforyou:

I don't know if this will help you but it has SERIOUSLY worked for me.
I've stopped mixing proteins with rice, pasta, potatoes, bread and other such carbs.

I'll eat fish with vegetables and salad or ... vegetable sticks with grilled chicken fingers ...

Only Protein & Veg
OR
Only Carbs & Veg

I try to food combine. I'm pretty good at doing it for breakfast and am so so for lunch and dinner. I had some pasta the other evening. I'm trying to stay away from wheat so this was gluten free but I noticed that I had a lot of gas the next morning.

I'm keeping a food diary and it helps me be able to look back and see what foods might have caused me problems. My digestion is overall much better than it has been but I still have a ways to go.

I started taking (again) acidophilous and I'm hoping that will help too.

whooo who... ive been back at work for a week since taking 3 weeks off. and i havent ate one ounce of kentucky friend chicken! watch out team.. here i come! :bigsmile:

Kirsten that is awesome! I had the worst craving for some Pepsi today, but I managed to push it off and I haven't poured myself any. I still want it but I don't feel like I am dying for it now. I can hear it calling my name though, So I am going to stop writing about it as it is making me want it more :ohwell:
