    Hi all ... I just burned 317 calories taking my frustrations out tearing down part of an old plaster ceiling. My goodness ... what a mess ... but what a great workout. My hubby and I own an old farm house built in 1895. With life's problems and financial junk and all kinds of other excuses we haven't finished a single thing here in the 16 years we've owned it ... so now we've made a pact ... we will concour one project per month from now on. Right now we are getting half of the first floor prepared to blow insulation on the walls before the real winter hits. I love it ... I'll get some great workouts in and my house will progress with time to being a nice place to live. I've hated living here since the first year ... country living is just not my thing ... we'll sell once it's completed (in like 10 years I think). Anyway, I'm babbling here ... I hope all is well with you. Have a wonderful evening and we'll talk again tomorrow.

    Helooo everyone !!! I'm back.. :flowerforyou: I hope everyone is doing great ! I had a blast in Branson. We did so many fun things. The Ozarks are beautiful ! My allergies were going haywire though. We got back home Saturday night. My Dad and his Wife stayed until yesterday morning. I have some SUPER FANTASTIC news to share. I'm going to be cleaning the bathrooms in our park in exchange for free rent and electric. YES i SAID FREE !!!!! I will still have my part time job in the office too. We pay around $ 450 a month for our rent and electric so this will make a huge differance for us !! I start tomorrow. I clean them from 1-3 mon-Fri. I'll have just enough time to run home and shower the days I work in the office. Another Fantastic thing happened to my dh this week. He got a promotion and a $2.15 an hour raise. Things are realy going great for us. God is good . :smile: I've been kinda hit and miss with my diet . I am going to get right back on track tomorrow. I didn't gain any weight so thats a good thing. I missed you all while I was away. How are you all doing ??? Anything to share ??? Have a great night everyone, Cindy :heart:

    Hey everyone:happy:
    That is excellent news Cindy it's great when good things happend to good people. Enjoy your new financial gains (just not with food :wink: )
    I started a new program today the couch to 5K in 9 weeks:tongue: Today was day one week one and I started it with a 5 minute brisk walk to warm up then jogged 1 min. walked 1 1/2 minutes for 20 minutes total. It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be but it's early :laugh:
    The whole training is on line (for free) just google couch to 5 K plus there is a group on here that has everyone doing it and it's good because they are all at different weeks and can give support and encouragement. I am doing mine on the treadmill because of my work day starting at 6am and ending at 8:30pm I really don't want to go out before or after that running in the streets :laugh:
    Well have a great day everyone and good luck tomorrow:drinker:

    Welcome mygoalisthin:flowerforyou:

    Welcome back Cindy:flowerforyou:

    Callie, I'm glad that your weight loss is going well:flowerforyou:

    Maggie, we have a lot of work to do at our place too. We keep on postponing it but I know what you mean about it being a good excersice. I can't believe how many calories you can burn just cooking and cleaning:noway:

    As for me, my weight loss is finally going somewhere and is not staying still anymore. Also we have new cable now through verizon and I can't believe how many more channels they have, they even have an excersice channel which I love. I will be working out a lot now from home and its something new each time so I am very happy about that:bigsmile:

    Talk soon,

    -Tanya

    Thanks a bunch guys :heart: I'm sooo very happy to be back !!! marie, Texas is great for us !!!! I actualy missed it when I was in MO. I woke up at 7 am and made my dh a lunch, got salsa chicken cooking in the crockpot and walked 2 miles. I start cleaning the bathroms today and I also work in the office from 4pm-8pm. It's going to be a tight squeeze doing both on the days I work in the office. The bathrooms are 1-3pm and I start at the office at 4pm. Oh well ,I'll make it work. I hope everyone has a great day !!! ttfn- Cindy :heart:
