Hello ladies I’m new to mfp and also to this type of contact with people. Over the next day or 2 I’ll read the comments from the last week.
Nice to be with you.13 -

Not a great day. Hopefully for a better one tomorrow.

Did 45 minutes of the Fit in 10 DVD. I didn't realize that it was as long as it was or that there are two workouts. But that's OK. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Beach Pilates Based Abs Bun and Thigh DVD
Wendy - NO CHOCOLATE!!! Are you feeling OK????
Joyce - happy birthday
Katla - sorry your son can't make it. Hopefully, he will be able to at another time
Kylia - a meeting sounds good to me. Just let me know when. Have you ever been to the Biltmore?
Rori - Mars is beautiful. Rest up and then exercise more
Pauline - welcome!
Terry - hope Collette is fine. Don't you wish cats/dogs could be on our insurance???
Made chicken to have later in the week, registered for the cake decorating class, made the icing for the class (I'm not going to buy it -- too expensive and it really doesn't taste all that good so I'd be embarassed to give it to anyone), next have to make the cake to take with me. I THINK we had a mouse downstairs. At first Vince wouldn't believe me, he had every excuse in the book. Finally, we found some droppings so he put down one of those sticky traps yesterday. This morning Loki, Bonnie and Clyde were downstairs. Loki kept looking at the storage room door (where we put the trap). I'm going to hope that his hearing is real good, but there was no way I was going to find out. So I'm waiting (and waiting) for Vince to go downstairs to look because I need the cake mix. First he's walking around the house "ommm, ommm, I feel horrible", then he has to have lunch, now he has to go to the bathroom. Update: there wasn't anything down there
Saw online that Pete's mother DOES live in a 55+ community. I wonder how the neighbors are going to feel if there are younger people living there? Also, what about parking? How is it going to be when suddenly there are 2 more vehicles. Well...not my problem.
Margaret - lovely paintings!
Vix - welcome. Tell us more about yourself.

That involves sticking to my training plan, eating healthy (a lot of marathon runners I know, myself included, eat crappy, buying into the “I can eat what I want” myth. Not going there!), and making sure I get the rest I need.
Keeping it real in Minnesota!

All the best!!
I ran my first 10K in January and am sort of thinking I might try for a half marathon in September. But meanwhile, I do long distance cycling and March for me, is a series of long distance events.
And I too am trying to keep my diet under control this month. It is tempting to let myself go when I'm cycling a lot, but that rarely turns out well.

Welcome Claudine and Vix and others I probably missed in skimming 103 posts.
Claudine, I live in Northeast GA, Peach lives in the Atlanta area, and Grits lives down below the gnat line. What is your general area?
Joyce, I wish you lived closer, cause you know I would organize that house for you in good Peter Walsh fashion.
I’m making egg roll in a bowl for supper because the idea of it sounded so yummy, but it smells horrendous. I don’t know if I can eat it.

Lanette, I got Ernestine Shepherd's diet plan from her book "Determined, Dedicated and Disciplined to be fit" You can also find stuff on it if you google although the ones I have seen don't exactly match what is in her book. She has some talks on Youtube as well.
I rode my exercycle last night while watching The Good Place. And I am going to log my food and see what the calorie count is just for interest sake though I'm not a big believer in calorie counting.

It wasn't an overly well stocked bakery.
Bakeries here vary from being just very small cafes to bigger things with display cabinets full of baked goods. This was a very small cafe. It was also right near closing time ... they had a 3:30 close.
They had a few meat pies left, but none that appealed to me. So we went with toasted sandwiches ... mine was cheese and tomato. And we looked over the 4 choices of baked goods left and opted for a small red velvet cupcake each. I would have liked to go with the huge carrot cake and cream cheese muffin, but I know carrot cake is very high in calories, so ... nope.
For me, calorie counting is very eye opening ... especially once I started weighing my food. Get yourself a food scale from Woollies or wherever.
Nuts were a big surprise. Everyone tells you to eat nuts because they are healthy. Yes, probably. But they are also very high in calories. I found this pages which shows what 100 calories of various nuts looks like:
https://www.thekitchn.com/a-visual-guide-to-100-calories-of-nuts-snack-tips-from-the-kitchn-201778
Before I started with MFP, I had been eating somewhere between 400 and 500 calories of nuts each day!!
And cereal. The serving size on many packages is 45 grams. Without weighing I thought I was pouring myself a serving of cereal. When I weighed out 45 grams of cereal, I discovered it is a dusting on the bottom of the bowl. What I was pouring myself was about 5 servings of cereal.

Happy Saturday!!
Cheri[/b] - darling house! Now is that the one you are moving out of or in to? I think I skipped some conversations.
Ho boy.... How's your son settling in?
Have a good weekend!

That is a pic of the house we plan on turning into our Home Sweet Texas Home. We close in March. Spent the day navigating through the inspection report. Nothing major. Thankfully.
Our son is in Chicago. Very happy with his apt. His goods arrived and he says he is unpacked. We will be seeing him in 2 weeks as we are driving his car up for him over the hub's Spring Break. I'll "finish" unpacking for him!
Thanks for asking!

Joyce - Happy Birthday! Have a fantastic time celebrating!
Lanette & Beth- I hope the instructions were clear enough if not let me know!
Michele - it sounds like you had a great experience growing up with the orange tree!
Margaret - Beautiful painting! In a couple months there will be to Mary's from Minnesota! We'll all have to get together!
Mary from Arizona7 -
Well, the egg roll in a bowl tasted okay, but I won’t be making it again with ground beef. Maybe I’ll give it a try with shrimp.5

Cheri - it's an awesome house! Looks like a nice neighborhood and I know you'll be happy there for a long time! Glad nothing major popped up in the inspection. Did you say your son in Chicagoland was going to work for Ernst & Young? Bet you can't wait to see him ;-). And vicey versa!

Had a good and busy day. Really enjoying my workouts every morning. Never thought I'd hear that come out of my mouth.
We had a beautiful sunny day, cloudy and rain again tomorrow. I'll take that over Beth's snow though.
Love to you, my friends.

I enjoy reading all the stories here. It takes a good deal of time to read them all. This is a very large & chatty group!
I am going to watch my very first marathon in May. Two of my brothers and a nephew are running. Mom and I are the cheering section. That will be about as close as I will ever get to running. I still feel it is a beautiful miracle that I can walk & kinda swim. I hope to be able to get on a bike this summer. Its been 40 years. I will need to learn the basics of balance. Ill keep y'all posted
Keep up all the positive changes ladies, I enjoy celebrating with you all!

Kay, that made me laugh out loud. You have to let us know if you ate it. Update, just saw your review. Shrimp might be better, but then I love shrimp.

The newest one?
I saw it on the plane to Canada last June/July and liked it enough to buy it.
