The Daily HEET...May Thread...Open to Everyone!

goodmorning heeters,happy may 1st.im setting a goal of losing 10lbs,i know i can do it,just need to stay focus and stay away from people who dont want to see me looking slimmer,so here it goes.my computer is still down so i will be in and out now and again

Good evening Heeters, How was everones day? Where is everyone? I hope you're all MIA because you're having fun and enjoying some exercise or some veggies. I am waiting for dh to get home and we're all heading to the pool. Julie, I put my cell phone in the oven and left it there overnight. It won't turn on unless It's hooked up to the charger. It says it's fully charged. I guess thats better than nothing but I hope it dries out some more and works right. What did everyone have for dinner? We're having grilled NY strip steaks and baked sweet potatoes. What does everone have planned for this weekend? I think we're going to the movies. Other than that I think we'll be in the pool alot. Have a great evening gals, ttfn- Cindy

Hi Heeters, how is everyone, and happy May!!! We've been a sick bunch here at home, kay is better, but I got it settling in my chest. Hasn't kept me down, as I still keep going like the energizer bunny. We started a remodeling project here at home. We are remodeling our bath. We worked on removal of old floor tiles today and got half of it knocked out. Will get the rest on monday. The weather is nice and cool here today just beautiful for this type of indoor project. Then early evening we mowed the lawn and with the push mower and trimming takes a good hour then we took a drive to the cemetery and placed flowers on graves. Stopped for ice cream, came home and got our baths and are resting.

I swear gals, I hurt everywhere. I did my calories burned for what we did today and I didn't mention grocery shopping and errands ran this morning as well, and a yard sale me and kay went to, its been a full day. But anyway just doing the floor and mowing I burned 1,306 calories. Its got to pay off come monday at the scales. It sure had better, as we are working at it. I am so excited though to be doing the work, this house I always felt had alot of potential. It will be alot of fun, and kay is enjoying getting in on the projects as well.

I am probably boring all of you, sorry. I would like my May goal to be to lose 8 lbs. this month.
With that all said, I will talk to all of you later.
Debbie
waving to all the Heeters~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Heeters, Debbie , that's so neat ! I love doing home improvement projects. It's great your daughter is getting involved. I love involving Avery in all sorts of projects. Being a homeschooling Mom I search out projects. I hope everyone had a great day. I did. It was chilly but Avery still wanted to swim so I took her and 2 of her friends. I might swim tomorrow if it warms up. We grilled hamburgers for dinner and had brussel sprouts and cottage cheese with them. Yum. I weigh in Sunday morning. I'm bloated because my TOM is on it's way. I hope to lose at least 2 pounds anyway. I burned 4,843 calories this week from my workouts. I walked 23 miles. I swam a couple times and I rode my bike for a total of 2 hours over the week. Ok so thats 8.5 hours. According to the American Heart association I added 17 hours to my life. I want to go on a long bike ride tomorrow. I love this way of life I hope everone has a great night. Cindy

Hi Cindy, I am new to this, thank you so much for welcoming me!

Good Morning Heeters, Welcome aboard Bbogart. Weigh in for me this morning. I'm down another 3.6 pounds. I am so happy! My body is loving this way of life ! How is everyone this morning? I hope we all have a beautiful Sunday. Let's all get out and do something fun. Let's " get moving in May" I'm going to go swimming and bike riding and go for my 2 mile walk. I have to run now but I'll be back later- Drink that water-eat those veggies- get moving- WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cindy

Good morning!!! I hope everyone has an awesome productive day. I plan on doing a 1.5 hour bike ride this morning before it gets too hot. I have been looking into the organic thing a little and here is what I have come up with. Non-organic foods are the foods that are basically produced/grown with the addition of certain things... growth hormones, pesticides, anti-biotics and some other stuff. Organics are grown without ANY of that stuff. this means that not only are the cows (and other animals) NOT treated with growth hormones, but they ARE fed with organic grains. Basically, the pesticides and genetically mutated grains can cross over through the cow into it's milk and meat. Non-organic milk has anti-biotics that cross over from the cow when it gets treated for infections in the udder from producing too much milk. There are a bunch of other things that go along with it, but I'm still not sure I'm sold. We'll have to see.

Hi Heeters, I'm sorry to worry you Julie. Dh turned the alarm clock off this morning so I woke up to Eddie & his dad knocking on the door. :grumble: How is everyone doing today? Eddie just layed down for a nap and I need to start lessons with Avery. I plan on doing my 3 mile watp workout at 5.30 today after Eddie gets picked up. Julie ,that's great about your bike and that bike ride ! I need to find bike trails around us. It's cool here today. The sun is shining though. It's supposed to be 105 degrees on Thursday. Ok -I'll post more later. Make it a great day everyone! Cindy

Bbogart, Yep, I love the heat though. We don't have humidity. Just hang in there. You'll find your motivation! :flowerforyou: I hope everyone had a great day! I felt sluggish all day from getting up late. I haven't worked out yet and that doesn't help. I plan to walk 3 miles tonight. I need to get up on time in the morning and get my workout in. I feel so much better when I exercise in the morning. I hope everyone drank their h2o and ate some veggies & moved some today. May is well on it's way so let's not forget our May motto- " Get moving in May" Julie, I'm glad to see you back girlie! We sure missed ya! I best go do some dishes- ttfn- Cindy

Hi Heeters, Just a quick pop in to say goodnight. I just got in from my 3 mile walk. 3 miles in 45 minutes. 510 calories burned. That's all the exercise I did today. :grumble: I will get back on track tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great day! Nighty night-- Cindy

Morning all. Just to report I am still alive. We had a series of some bad storms and I believe that really washed my motivation right out the door too. Have added some multi vitamins to my daily routine and yesterday thinking about it, I feel this may be causing my stomach problems. Huge gas build up, nausea and plain don't feel like moving. If I be still, it doesn't bother me ..... so..... needless to say, I have not been moving too fast around here for the past week.

Maybe someone can make some recommendation to me in how to get around this problem?

In my mind, I am thinking of my goals set for the month but no action behind it. :sad: :devil: :mad: :grumble:

Way to go on that bike Julie. It's great how you are getting motivational help from DW on your bike rid\ing. Keep it up as I am here cheering you on. Hear it?

Cindy, guess DH thought you needed the extra sleep. That's ok as we know you have the self motivation in you to plug right on by. But take care of your body too. /remember, it is not a machine.

BBogart, I'm sorry if I didn't get on to welcome you into the group. Welcome and I look forward to reading your postings about the organic food stuff. I just know they are supposed to be chemical free but now days, what can we really believe? Debbie is doing her own gardening and I am interested in getting one started. Don't really know how, but I have finally decided I am going to try container type gardening on a raised bed so I don't have to bend down so far. :laugh: :laugh: My DH has promised he would help me with my gardening project so this will happen. When? Don't know yet. Soon, I hope. Can you imagine how much better the veggies will taste coming out of your own garden? Yum yum.

I'm going to say hello to all that follows and bbl.

My morning will be Bible study, then we do some coloring of Christmas goodies bag for the prison ministry, hair cut and then home. Yea! Going to try to fix some beer battered fish for tonight. We don't drink and so we had a good lesson on buying beer at the liquor store yesterday. That's another story.

TTFN. Hazel

Good Morning Heeters, Sounds like everyone is doing so good and I am excited for all of you. Envy your weight loss Cindy. Way to go Julie on the six miles. Welcome Bogart and Noey. Waving to bebe, lucy, and hazel, and all that follow.
Well we got all the tile up, now we are shaving off the glue and yuck stuck to the concrete with a grinder, man I never knew it could be so hard. No adhesive remover seems to touch what's been down on the floor for 30+ yrs.
Hard as I am working with DH and sweating our butt off mind you, the #'s on the scale aren't changing a bit. Sort a discouraging but I'm eating right and keeping with the exercise, and I feel great although I am with Julie, I hate being FAT.
Oh well I will stop whining and keep movin along.
Everyone take care,
Hazel. thanks for the well wishes,
Love to all,
Debbie
