Alice - Maybe when your ankle starts to feel better you should do some strengthening exercises then transition into jogging and running. <3 I would love to come to SA and remodel your house! Our house was move in ready before I got the wild hair and started demolition. If I knew we would be selling this house and moving…

Hi Alice - Sorry about your foot. <3 Take it easy and let it heal. Was it the same foot? I am fine. We ripped out the half walls and header over the cabinets today. I will tape, plaster, and drywall tomorrow. I hope to start painting Monday morning.

Hi EM! Welcome!!! It is nice to meet you!

Yay!!!

Thanks Marcella, I think Mark is seriously afraid lol. I called him from the house this morning wanting to know if I could take the half walls between the living room and kitchen and the one foot header frame wall that the cabinet over the peninsula counter was mounted on out. He asked me to wait until he could look at it.…

Wait a couple of weeks, call her, tell her you have been thinking about her. Or send her a card with a gift card to a restaurant or spa, something she would enjoy with the note you have been thinking about her. That way you don't have to get all awkward and she knows you care. Some times it is not what we say, but what we…

Hi Barb it is good to see you! I am glad you are home for a few days. I am sure it feels good to be there. Enjoy and rejuvenate. Jen I know you are probably busy trying to get every last thing done and every contingency that is remotely conceivable you can think of covered just in case. Don't make yourself nuts. If you…

My family often joke, there is no food in the house, only ingredients :(

Yay Alice!!!!

That would be really awesome! A section of beautiful chess boards would be nice.

Thank you!

That is what my mom told me when I miscarried.

NE that is an awesome goal. I have thought about it, but I am not yet brave enough to tackle it. I use MFP numbers. I am very maths challenged so having MFP figure it out is very helpful. I will be honest I exercise to eat more. I try to eat back 50% of my exercise calories, though usually I eat back 75% or more. MPF base…

Just take it one day at a time and one step at a time. :)

Jen - Look on this as the family lesson in Mom appreciation. I think they often don't realize or forget just how much we do. You remember to take it easy and don't rush to get on your feet too soon. <3

Way to go Karen! Your hard work is paying off. Just one day at a time or even an hour at a time. And you not feeling well, you could have just given in, but you didn't. Awesome!!! <3 B)

I only plan suppers as well. Back when I first started doing it, I would figure out seven or ten suppers I wanted to have and put them on a list and buy what was needed. Then I would just pick what meal I wanted to cook that night. It wasn't until the kids started to cook that we decided which meal we were going to eat…

Hi Ladies! Spring has come to MN, the forsythia, daffodils, magnolias, and tulips are blooming. I told the girls I want to get the moving done so I can start my vegetable garden. The moving is going slowly. We decided we wanted to get some rooms repainted and it is easier to do it when they are empty. So I will be taping…

I am a most excellent cook!!!

I did o.k. with my goals this week. I would like to meet them consistently so I am going to keep these goals for next week. I lost one pound this week and it has been 31 days without a cigarette. This week's goals 1. Lower my sodium for four days. 2. Walk for an hour and add 15 minutes of other exercise. 3. Eat four…

The local Lowes was having their annual customer appreciation sale. Ten percent off all purchases. So I picked up my new cardio exercise equipment, a lawn mower. I think Cindy should add a chapter on lawn mowing to her book on non-traditional fitness. :D

When I get home from the grocery, I prep all the fruit and veg and put it in Tupperware containers in the fridge. Then it is ready to go raw for lunch or snack or to cook up for supper. We eat a lot more fruit and veg and nothing geos to waste. It is a real time saver. :)

I was wondering to Alice.

Hi Pooh! Welcome!

Treat yourself better and go for a better treat, you deserve it!

I always thought someone should open a restaurant named I don't care.

When I get home from the grocery store, I prep and cut all my veg and friut and put them in the fridge. That way we can eat them for lunch and snack as is or cook them up for supper. It takes a little time when I come in from the store but we eat more veg and fruit with no time taken up later. :)

Awesome! Great job!

Karen - I am sorry your pain is flaring and being unruly. I hope that you will be able to get another six hours sleep tonight and this flare up will die down. No matter what the scale says, you have been trying and been aware and that is a victory in itself. ((Hugs)) <3 Julia - I thought of you today. Mark and I planted 20…

I love them Cindy!!!
