Pip You are a powerhouse! Katla I was thinking about the "right way to fall" last night. A gymnast friend told me to roll up in a ball. Then I started thinking about when I broke my elbow and wrist (separate times) and each time it happened so fast I had no idea what was going on until I was on the ground. Maybe the only…

Lots has happened on this board in 2 days! Just stopping in to say hello. I'm on track with exercise this week. I had a little overeating episode last night... not too bad. I had a nutritionist tell me that is bound to happen if I don't eat enough during the day. That was probably true for yesterday. Stay well, Kimses in MA

There's an interesting article in Time magazine this week about heart disease and old thinking vs new thinking. Lots about blood pressure and cholesterol. It also pokes holes in the "calories in/calories out" concept. It's worth picking it up. Kimses in MA

60 minutes of exercise done (30 min upper body and 30 min elliptical). My husband's company is very much into wellness programs and placed a wellness coach in his building as a trial. Very interesting. My husband is not much of one for exercise. He will walk around the building, but not in winter. He is a thin man so…

I'm dying laughing here. Better get that cat blessed before it gets warmer out.

30 min P90x3 Yoga done. Now, time to study for an interview at 11 followed by hair appointment. Will try to get 30 min elliptical in also. I was down 2 lbs. this morning (and I've been busting my butt for that ). Kimses in MA

I'm logging on to tell everyone that I'm going to go exercise now ...and not that I've posted it I can't back out! Kimses

Mary I had a lot of twinges around my ribs when I hurt my back. They were muscle spasms. Didn't you just increase your weights? Pip I love the little striped sweater on your dog. Penny Hope you find some time for yourself. If nothing else ....*s-t-r-e-t-c-h*. Today I did 30 minutes of "Warrior" P90x3. And that was enough.…

Miriam I make white sauce all the time with sweet rice flour. It's texture is very fine. (and it's not really sweet). My daughter is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Corn Syrup Free. So cheese sauce is made with rice flour, soy milk and lactose-free cheese. Cooking in this household can be a challenge. Son needs high-calorie…

Hello Ladies, Welcome CSSJ09 and seabrzjo. There's always a lot of activity on this board and then there of those of us (me!) that can't keep up but stop in each day to say hello and post their activity. It helps stay accountable. Thanks for the cauliflower recipe CSSJ09. I'm back on track after a few days of not feeling…

I have a Garmin Vivofit. It's nice that you don't have to charge it. I liked my Fit Bit better and used to wear it on my ankle even when swimming. It died once and they replaced it for free. Then it died again after 6 months so I thought I'd try the Garmin. It supposedly syncs with the iphone, but I doesn't do that very…

Just checking in. Still feeling kind of off today so didn't do much activity (although I did go food shopping!). I'll be back on track tomorrow. Kimses in MA

DJ I hear you about the cookie muggings (and chocolate bars). We had 3 birthdays and one church supper with lots of leftovers, so I think we are cleared out now. Mary is your toe broken? And to think Shep is still a puppy and that strong! He looks so innocent. I was pretty sick yesterday and couldn't eat anything after…

Yoga done. Then I started feeling really nauseous and sick, so I've got some kind of bug. On the couch and need more Netflix suggestions. (But at least I got my workout in before I crashed. Ugh. )

Karen We had tickets to see a show at Foxwoods tonight and it was rescheduled until May. I'm glad that we got the message last night because I was really on the fence about it. go or stay? go or stay? That's a lot of snow for NY.

Miriam Chocolate bars are mugging people now? What is world coming to? A number of years ago, my sister and I had one day to clean out my parents house, so we whipped through it just chucking stuff into large garbage bags and then into the garage. 50 garbage bags later, my brother shows up and says "did you see that card…

Becca Funny how cookies do that, isn't it? Nasty little things. Karen We're missing the snow this time, but I know people in the DC area are getting slammed. Hopefully the storm will dump and run. I thought it was mostly south...where are you? My weight is pretty much the same as last week. Yesterday I swam 50 laps which…

Hi everyone -- Well, as I thought was going to happen, I lost my job yesterday. No fault of my own but it was a startup and they misidentified the skill set needed. I'm ok with it though. I knew it was coming and oddly, it's kind of a relief to have it done and over with. I was prepared. So now I have time on my hands to…

Thanks for the info on the HR monitors. That sounds very interesting, Pip I have a Polar and used it this morning. I was surprised by the reading. 30 min Accelerate (P90x3) which is like calisthenics. 300 cal. 30 elliptical. 200 cal I would have thought it was the opposite. It's good to have the numbers. I think I need to…

Yesterday did 30 min Pilates and 30 min elliptical. Tracked food. Today I'll do about the same. My back is sore from sleeping in the guest room because my husband has a cold and is snoring loud! So I think I'll have to add in some stretching. We have a Community Supper tonight and I picked up a donation from Panera. I have…

Quick question -- do any of you use a real heart rate monitor? (not the kind that are on treadmills that you hold on to). I have one with the chest strap that you have to wet down and a watch. I haven't used it in years and am thinking I might fire it up again. 1 bad overeating day this week and the rest right on track.…

Mary sounds like he's jealous to me!

Sylvia I just love that tray. Please show us after it's finished. Lisa Sugar is evil. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with it too. And good for you for logging it. I usually can't face looking at something like that in my food journal. At least, you are aware and owning it. If you weren't, that would be more…

Thanks Ladies. Yes, I think "no" was a good thing in this case. It's the ego that's the problem. But as suggested, focusing on the good things will ease the sting.

I got cut from the interview process before going in tomorrow. My feelings are hurt, but I can see where I messed up. And it's ok because I don't have to change jobs. I feel like there is a bigger message in here for me and that's to start defining myself differently. Work has always been a huge part of my self esteem, but…

This thread is too busy to keep up with ...which is a good thing. Yesterday was good and on track. Today I took on the BLC for the week and tried a new workout which was a 44 min turbo jam online video. That was a good challenge. So...exercise done. Food on track and logged. Weight is not cooperating. Two out of three -…

My first meal with the massive amount of cut up veggies -- boiled a few cup of veggies until soft, added a cup of Ready Rice (brown) from Uncle Ben, added 2 cups Pacific Organic Butternut Squash soup, and 1 can of northern beans. Voila! A quick, filling meal with an abundance of fiber (will have this for lunch for a few…

GodMomKim Not quite sure what to do with them all!

Chopped veggies inspired by Penny. Now I just have to eat them all!

Hello -- I just got back from a wonderful 24 hour get away and renewal time with some lady friends from the church. I didn't pay much attention to the food intake but did double exercise before I went yesterday. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going. I'm determined that this time will be different and I'll lose…
