    @nlmackey98 - Yay! Glad you were able to enjoy your bike ride. Did you join the club when you first started out? Was there a slower group that you could go back to?

    Positive thought - I have tea! :D

    There are slower groups, but when I show up I’m hounded into going with a faster pack. I can hang with the middle group except for the steep climbs. Honestly, if I could start out with the fast folks and drop back when I failed that would be great, but the groups usually don’t ride the same routes. Right now I’m more comfortable on my own.

    Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.

    Well yesterday started out well and then evening hit. I ate almost a days calories in the evening while watching tv. I need to stop this!

    I went to meet a career counsellor yesterday, she gave me some tips to change my resume a little bit, I started it three times last night and I couldn’t find the right wording. I will try again today after my doctors appointment. I think I have somehow cracked a rib. It’s certainly not from exercising.

    Today I will do better. I will get out for a walk and I’ll not eat the house after Rodger goes to bed!

    Cschmitz110515 - it must feel so nice to get back out walking in the morning again.

    PackerfaninGB- what a great loss!!!!! I need to get that disciplined again.

    Littleblackskirt- every time I read about someone’s medical journey on MFP I am reminded over and over again how grateful I am to live in Canada. Hope things get straightened out for you soon.

    Cory17 - good for you for going to swim. I took lessons twice last year and haven’t been back to the pool since. I’m starting a 3rd set on May 2 with a friend.

    Nlmackey98- Hugs to you. Im happy to see you got your ride in. I have thought about taking up riding, but haven’t had the money to purchase a bike. I love how kids don’t get messages exactly right lol

    AJB1014 - that window falling sounds painful! A Florida vacation sounds wonderful, enjoy every minute of it!

    Azulvioleta6 - Monday’s shouldn’t exist period, but I agree about the Monday and first day of the month. It always made me behind at work.

    Bex953172 - I think that was a great positive thought. I bet you find as the month goes on it’s easier to find something to be positive about. I love how you posted your goals today, that seems like it’s set in stone.

    Clicketykeys - the dishes were for @hegoodard0928, I saw it and it reminded me of her. However, I have been known to use paper plates on occasion.

    Mytime6630 - I love that quote you posted. I have a couple of long time friends, I wish they lived closer so I could share a meal with them. I’m hoping to see them both this summer.

    Hegoddard0928 - Hugs to you, maybe just start with the April challenge and getting a few more steps in each day. We miss you keep coming back.

    Bookmeister86 - I hope you have a better work day today. I agree you need to seriously consider leaving after you receive your bonus. You have been unhappy for a long time.

    Aubyshortcake - I’m not a great cook either. I would like to be, but I wouldn’t eat most of anything anyway so I don’t see the point.

    Faebert - enjoy your party. I am so amazed at how you are so disciplined to get all the workouts in. I am home all day and can’t seem to find the gumption to get it done.

    Johicks - you are an inspiration. I like your reward system for yourself, maybe I need to do that again.

    Layfaetteanna - I hear you on the wine, I have been imbibing and snacking too. I need to stop it!

    I will put these in a spoiler so it doesn’t take up the whole page. These are screenshots of our family pics from Sunday. She sent 145 images and I have to choose from them. The whole digital package is 700 and I can’t afford that right now.

    Oh gosh, it's a bummer that they won't LISTEN to you. Ugh!

    @Snowflake1968 - Yeah I figured, but I'm struggling with dishes too! Unfortunately it's hard to COOK with paper plates XD Those pictures are super cute!! How many do you get to pick?

    @nlmackey98 Thank you so much! I think the April challenge will be good for me. I often do have a hard time thinking of good things about myself. So I'll have to pay attention now. I would love to join you on this journey!

    @snowflake1968 I am definitely going to try and get more steps in. It's starting to get really nice out finally. I'm going to definitely start spending more time outside. There's a nice park nearby that I enjoy taking my parent's dog to. I'll definitely start do that again too. Also the kids are gorgeous and you and your hubby look very happy!

    @PackerFanInGB That is a FABULOUS loss. I am SO proud of you! Look at you go!

    Okay. I need to get moving. It's already after 11 and I have a bunch of things I want to do! Have a great day everyone!

    Since I showed you a picture of my youngest. Here are a few pictures of my oldest. She has been my fitness role model for years. The first back picture she was 8, the second she was 14, and the beam was at 15. She is actually more developed now that she is rowing. She amazes me. I didn’t even know some of those muscles existed.

    Your daughters are both just beautiful! They both resemble you a lot! xoxo

    @Snowflake1968 Have you thought any more about opening an Etsy store? Many people make a good living selling their crafts. I am always amazed at how well some people do. I wouldn't even know how to go about it, personally, and I am not talented enough in anything to open one. But I'm one of those people who will buy things I see that OTHER people make. Those who cannot do, buy from others... :) I'd share your Etsy page on my FB page if that would help.

    @mytime6630 LOVE the picture today! It's so true that I'm thinking that I will print it out and hang it on my bulletin board in front of my desk at work. It's a great reminder!

    @HEGoddard0928 So happy to see you back! I was just thinking this morning that I was going to send you a private message to see how you were doing. I miss your dirty dishes comments! LOL! (((HUGS)))

    @Bex953172 Good goals, except I would hate to see you put too much on yourself with all you have going on! You have so much to keep up with, that I would think just logging your food would be enough to start with! :smile: Are you getting all settled in your new place? Starting to feel like home?

    @bookmeister86 - I think it was you that was overwhelmed with meetings. I saw this on a satire site and thought of you.

    @clicketykeys - soon we can Barbecue and that helps with the pots and pans at least.
    I can choose what I want for the pictures, to but the whole package with release to print wherever and how many I want it is 700.00. Certain images are 50.00 each for the release. I can have her print 8X10’s for 15.00 each, which I think I will start with. She stated that she keeps the files for 90 days, but I’m going to ask if there is anything I can do to have that extended so that I can hopefully get work and get more. I’ve also asked the girls if they want to go together to get me some for Mother’s Day.

    @PackerFanInGB - you are killing it! I have looked into Etsy, but I haven’t figured out what to make to sell when it’s not Christmas time. Rodger and I were talking about it this week and trying to come up with something that is inexpensive to do that we could maybe do a couple craft fairs this month. We haven’t come up with anything yet.

    I’m at the doctors office and I think I’m going to have a long wait, it’s very busy here today.

    Something that helped me was to set out the dress I was wearing for the wedding, in plain sight so I would see it. Maybe right by the kitchen? Mine was in the room where I exercised so I wouldn't give up or do it halfway.
