I'm a cool Fitbit kid now too. I'm hoping I don't get it all confused with my phone app that tracks my jaunts. :) Still trying to figure it out and get the steps to be 'correct'.

Good morning everybody. It's Sunday and the new thread is opened (thanks John). :) Weighed in for my vlog and very happy with it! I'll be recording the vlog in a bit. Now, why wasn't this showing up on Friday, when I really needed it? Doesn't my scale know I need some extra money? LOL!! Seriously, I know what happened…

Carol, that was just too much fun tonight. Thank you again for having me on. Food diary closed for the night and just cleaning up Facebook and YouTube before I go relax on the couch for a bit. I almost hit my 45 mile goal today - just a little under 4 to go! Thank you everybody who has participated in the January Jaunt.…

Happy Saturday everybody. John, day 8. Congratulations. You'll get past this and your body will be grateful.

Kevin, that is crazy!!!! How long did it take to run that course? Loved his annotations. WOW!!!!!

It's FRIDAY!!!!! Weighed in and .2lb loss. I won't complain. Things seemed to slow down this week but I'm still happy that It wasn't a gain. Sunday will be my official YT weighin, so I'll just see how things look then. Uploading my weight and points for the FB challenge and then heading out for a morning jaunt.

Cynthia, great to see you back. Glad you had a wonderful time. Carol, love the Jammin' bubble. :)

Quite the difference Kim. Yep, those darn tall buildings wreak havoc with GPS & cell signals.

Hello and welcome to the group. This is a great group with some amazing people who are very motivating. Awesome to hear you are having success. Hope you will stop in and keep us informed on your progress. I've only been here about 2 months but I find that the interactions with others helps me each day stick to my plain and…

John, thank you and congratulations on stopping smoking! Keep on it! It's one of the most difficult things you can do and I commend you for trying again. Go slow and just think about the health benefits. Kim, I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. It's weird. I'm not sure why because I haven't really done much…

Good morning everybody. Thursday, so the last day of the week for those of us doing the FB challenge. Not feeling as good about this week as I have the last two. I've been getting all of my points (well except exercise) but just not quite feeling. Today I'm getting taken out to lunch for my bithday, so no idea what I'll be…

Kim, awesome news about the presentations. Also totally awesome that MillerCoors has so many women in top positions. Girls rule! :smiley:

Woohoo everybody! Living this!

Wednesday morning and trying to get caught up on all of the SHOT Show postings. I am really going to have to make next year happen, just so I can say I was there. Until then, I'll just enjoy the information everybody is providing. Thank you again to everybody for the birthday wishes. It was a great day but nothing all that…

LOL Mark. Hmm, I like that. My girls all have to find ways to get along. So far, so good. No broken firing pins or scratched slides (yet). Hehehe.... My 75BD is my USPSA pistol (when I get back to doing it - only run a couple matches so far). Best of luck with the mountain climbing. A mountain to me is the stairs at work.…

Thank you everybody. Great day. No work, time at the range and then just lounging around trying to keep up with the SHOT Show posts on FB and YT. Heron, took my CZ 75 pistol and Vz.58 rifle to the range. I call them 'Czech Awesomeness' (I'm weird). :) I would love to purge my "fat" clothes but I'm unfortunately still…

Good morning. Taking the day off today because it's my birthday!!!! :) I'm going to the range today to get in some much needed trigger time. I may even try to get a jaunt in as well.

Good morning everybody. Back to work. Thanks Carol. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has hit 30 miles. Kris was awfully close that last I heard. Kris? Where are you? I feel like I accomplished something and I'll just keep going. I'll see if I can get to 45 now (that will be pushing it though).

My Sunday is complete. Breakfast did NOT agree with me today. I guess I learned that perhaps going to the local 'greasy spoon' may be a thing of the past. Bad Jen for wanting a treat. :) Other than that, a good day. I made my soup, which wasn't too bad. It's all portioned out and ready for the week. John, thanks for the…

Kim, I really need to schedule a massage. I've only had one and wow! Painful but well worth it. :) Good to hear you don't feel bad after your CarbNite. (Shameless self promotion). My weekly vlog is up. youtube.com/watch?v=WiXduRVzUs0

Good morning everybody. Sunday morning and I'm treating myself to breakfast. No jaunting today to give my legs and my rear some rest. :). So happy I met my challenge despite the crazy cold the first couple of times out. Thank you everybody for the support. And to all of those who have joined me, ROCK ON!!! Or as John would…

Kim, I didn't make the soup today. Going to tomorrow instead. Heron, this girl won't be in shorts for a while yet (at least in public). :)

30 miles completed!!! Woohoo!!! I'm taking tomorrow off to let my legs heal. I was really pushing it this weekend.

Happy Saturday everybody. 36 degrees out now and supposed to get to 45. Holy cow!!!! That's almost shorts weather!!!!! :smiley: Going to be hood jaunting weather for sure. Making my first attempt at zappa toscana (Italian sausage & potato soup) today. I was challenged by a fellow YouTuber so that's my afternoon plan. Have…

Thank you Heron and John. It's just so weird. I did Weight Watchers for 3 years and eating all the time was theme - I always seemed to feel hungry. I was depending on way too many processed foods as well as drinking way too much Diet Coke or Coke Zero at the time. I'm starting to be a believer that aspartame actually makes…

I posted this in the FB challenge page but I also wanted to post it here. It's been about a month since I started eating healthier (and cleaner). I'm not completely there but I have eliminated soda and artificial sweeteners and most processed foods. I've cut back dramatically on meat as well. One thing I'm noticing now is…

Awesome Kim. I'm getting in at least 45 minutes to satisfy the FB challenge (as well as my own desire to make getting out worth it). You have a lot more science and expertise behind your activity. Me, I just get out there and hope for the best. :) Day 16 of the January Jaunt is posted on YouTube. :)

Five miles in this morning (longest jaunt of the month so far). Feeling awfully good about it. :) That brings my total to 26.2 for the month. Hey, I just noticed something. I've walked a marathon! I know, I know. It took me seven days to do it! I still did it though!!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

It's Friday, Friday, FRIDAY!!!! That is all. :wink:

YAY!!! I will keep going as well. :)
