Jen here is my 2 cents :) When food smells or has mold, it is spoiled, it is bad. Good food will not make you sick if you eat it. Food is a tool and has a purpose, it is used to fuel our bodies. Yes some food is more efficient than others in doing the job. Our bodies will get much further with protein than Twinkies. That…

Awesome NSV Noodle!!! It will just keep getting better and better. I am so glad your mom and you had a good time.

After Golden was born, Mark and I took dance classes. I was 5'8" and 230 and he was 6"5" and 300. We are the most uncoordinated graceless couple you would ever want to see. The teachers were a 5'2" blond hair blue eyed couple named Randy and Brandy. They tried so hard with us but you could tell it just pained them to watch…

Near the beginning of the thread.

Hi everyone! Thought I would check in since it is hump day here :) Cindy, I am glad you and the baby are mending. Alice, wow you are burning it up with your food goals. Noodle, how was the concert or it that tomorrow night? Jen, I have been thinking a lot about you, remember get some books, crosswords, needlepoint, or…

Good luck!!!

Good for you!!!

I thought my 16 year old daughter was the only one that did that. I am glad she has a kindred spirit.

I have 18 pounds to go until I have lost 75 pounds. When I reach that goal, I am going to buy some type of perennial plant for my garden.

Cindy - I hope your baby girl is feeling better. <3 My children tell me that I treated my dogs better than them. I tell them that I never disappointed the dogs, the dogs were better behaved, and never talked back. ;) I think love for an animal can be every bit as deep as for a child. Thank you to all for your continued…

I am a loving person.

Considering all the craziness I had a stellar week. I met all my goals and lost two pounds. It is 2 pounds I had gained back but I lost them. My hour a day of exercise has been walking this week. Walking I could think, plan, and make lists. I bought a microwave popcorn popper so I could have pop corn in place of my rice…

You have my prayers Jen and happy thoughts. <3

We will be moving over the next three weeks. I am not looking forward to the moving part. I can't wait to start putting in the gardens. I really want to get my asparagus planted, golden raspberries, lilies, and some vegies going. I had a NSV this week. I am now in a size smaller pants and had to buy new knickers. :D Jen -…

I like it. There is a lot of fine motor skill involved and I think if I keep working at it, I might gain some grace. :)

We were notified that we will be closing on the house tomorrow at 2:30. Now the real work will begin :)

Aldi rocks! Asparagus is in season right now and the berries and pineapple have been awesome. Vegies, vegies, and more vegies. When I get home from the store, I clean and cut up all the vegies before they go into the fridge so I can grab them and easily use them during the week, either eating them raw for lunch or cooking…

Noodle - Is there some water exercises that you can do to strengthen your shoulder? Maybe a mini routine you can do for a few minutes each day before you do your laps? QT - Way to go!

Hey QT! I am getting my hour a day a day of exercise in :)

Way to go Karen and QT!!!! You can do it! <3

That looks Yummy!!!

Cindy - Nice looking family. I think I see some clear ground behind you, is the snow finally melting? It does look like you need to hit the thrift store for some threads :) Barb - I like your plan. Having a plan in place is half the battle. You will do great. Do you get to work out while you are on the road? QT - It is so…

I'm funny :)

This week 1. Keep up with my hour of exercise. Belly dancing, dumbbells, Wii, and walking. I am going to start my walk to Mordor this week. It is 1560 miles. Each day I will walk and then map my distance. I am very excited! I think it will take me well over a year to complete it. 2. Lower my sodium at least 3 out of 6…

Hi just checking in. Alice, I love your new avatar, you will be doing that in no time! I am not worrying about my food choices tomorrow. While this is one of my favorite seasons, I will be glad when the Reese Peanut Butter Eggs disappear. They sing the song of my people and I find I must answer and indulge. Mark is on his…

Cindy - WOW! I haven't bucked hay bales in years or mucked out a stable. I don't know if I could even do it. You need to write a book, Non Traditional Exercise: How I Went From Fat to Fit Shoveling Snow & Cleaning Stables. It would be a best seller! Barb - Could you maybe say, "I didn't think to save room for dessert, I…

Hang in there Julia, You can do it!!! :)

After many years of never saying anything about my husband's weight, I lost my temper one night and told him I didn't dare to ask him to mow the lawn because he would probably have a heart attack and die, then I would be screwed with the kids and a mortgage. He has never said anything to me about it, but he has been…

Tomorrow will be my 90th day on MFP. I have spent the last three days reading and re-reading Barb's and Alice's posts. Reflection is rather a foreign concept to me. I live so much in the here and now and the future. What is past is past, I can't change it, what is the next step is what I am always looking at. I have…

May I go too please?
