Hello Ladies, @theslightedgeforever - Hope you enjoyed your book, I wish I had a fireplace too. @cbabie - The squash was great. It is a dish that my husband loves. He says it tastes like something he could order in a restaurant. I woke up this morning and it was -21 out. It got down to -22 out. It is -3 now so I guess we…

I prep all my veggies weekly when I get home from the grocery so we can just get them out and use them making supper (stir fry, sides, soup, stew) or be able to grab a handful for salads, lunches, and snacks. The veg I prep are cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, fresh spinach, onions, Brussels sprouts, romaine lettuce, and…

Good afternoon ladies, @theslightedgeforever - I am doing better with the 5x5 than I thought I would. So I am feeling pretty good about it. When each of my kids got a car, I made an emergency kit for them. I got them a basic roadside kit with flares, jumper cables, an army blanket, hand and foot warmers, a box of granola…

Happy Friday Ladies! @cbabie - I envy you your warm weather. We are suppose to get 7-11 inches tonight and tomorrow night is suppose to be -26F (without wind chill added). It is a great time to curl up with a good book. I am impatiently waiting to get my copy of the "8 Keys to Mental Health Through Exercise" in the mail.…

@b3achy - You must be some place warm. We are looking at getting 7-11 inches of snow and tomorrow night we are suppose to get down to -26F, winter in MN.

Wow! Way to go!

Good afternoon ladies, @gemwolf110 _ Way to go! Does it bother you that they don't record the same amount of steps? And which one do you like best and why? @theslightedgeforever - You be careful with your mouth and let it heal up. You can get back to exercising after those implants heal up. Take it easy and maybe take calm…

I went from 292 to 233 slowly. My teenager says I have less back fat so that is something. I have also gone from 46 inch jeans to 42 inch jeans. I still don't see or really feel the difference. I just content myself with the thought that one day I will be able to tell.

Good afternoon ladies, @bugmom92 - It sounds like you are ready for Thursday. Hopefully the pilates will wear you out and help you sleep. @cbabie - Yay! You keep moving, before you know it, it will be second nature and you won't feel those stiff joints. I would love 60 degree weather. I am going to see my sisters in…

I thought I might share this, if someone is looking for a little more motivation. A friend asked me a couple of weeks ago how I keep my motivation to get my steps. I mentioned this thread and mentioned that I was "walking" to Mordor (I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan). I explained that I had googled it, found a site that…

It is just there for motivation. To hit that target you would have to eat the same thing and exercise or whatever exactly the same. Then to there is water retention from sodium and if you are a woman what time of the month it is for you. It is just there to motivate.

Good Afternoon ladies, @gemwolf110 - your tree is beautiful! @bugmom92 - the bacon Brussels sprouts dish sounds yummy. I like that you are doing now instead of a new year's resolution. @theslightedgeforever - Yes sometimes we don't want to face it, but I have found as I have gotten older I have much more to do if I don't…
