@1skholloway Food and exercise are supposed to give you energy. Maybe you need a change. I have more energy on beautiful, sunny days like today. :) On gloomy, winter days I tend to drag through the day.

I had a wonderful and restful spring break. It was very hard having to go back to work today, but I did it. I am not an online shopper (yet) because I think I would get addicted. It seems like it's so fun and easy to do. Pressure cooking without the liner pot? I like to hear about other people's oops moments. My most…

I've been enjoying my spring break...pretty much doing nothing, although I did mow the grass on Monday. The weather was very nice yesterday. We expect another nice day today. With all the spring breakers out of town, traffic is not bad at all. I could get used to this.

Oh, my! I hope everyone is okay.

@1skholloway You sure did cook a lot! It's always great to be able to grab something from the freezer that you know is good. Now, I feel like eating catfish. :)

It's been an uneventful weekend. I thought I'd post a note today before I get into the busy week. I've been doing well with my walking, and I hope to keep that going. I'm thinking of buying a bicycle this year. I wonder if my knees would be okay with that.

Beautiful day today. No problems at work. My daughter and I raked all the leaves from the front yard. That was a good workout. And now a quiet evening. I'll take more of today, please.

Hi. I didn't realize so much time went by! @1skholloway Congrats on officially being on maintenance! That is awesome!!! @2020pinktogo Your own podiatrist to help with shoe shopping. Well, aren't you the special one! I had a rude awakening last weekend...high blood pressure. I'm 60 and have been avoiding taking any meds.…

That's hilarious!

I'm here, but I have nothing new to say. I hope everyone is doing fine.

I missed the new thread again. I was still checking in for January. The weather has been nice lately, and I've been getting my walking done with no problems. Still too many sweets in my life though. Gotta try to resist. Just a few months before summer rolls around again. @2020pinktogo If you like your job, I…

@2020pinktogo Sorry to hear about your cold. Seems our thread has gone cold too. I know I've just been too busy to even remember to log in daily. But I'm not giving up. I'll keep checking in when I get the chance. I hope everyone is doing well!

Cold day today but still running around. When I first started at mfp it was quite a challenge to get in 10,000 steps a day. Now, I can't see how I could possibly not get at least 10,000 a day.

It seems like I posted just yesterday, and it's been a week! I've been swallowed up by my new workload. If it doesn't ease up, I'm going to have to start thinking about a new job for next year. @1skholloway You did great on your birthday! I don't think I could have turned down more cake. I love sweets...and one piece would…

Hi, all. Yes, it's back to routine, but it's also very busy at work. I've got a new boss, and she has a long list of things she wants done, and she means yesterday. I don't have much time to think let alone post. Hopefully, either I'll get used to the new pace or my new boss will ease up some. Once we get used to each…

Hi, ladies. Reading your posts is motivating! So far, I'm doing okay now that it's back to work, back to routine days. But reading your posts makes me feel I can do more! And now that it's January again, I can once again aim at getting "slim by summer". Speaking of, where's our summer girl, Captain Boing?

Happy New Year! I continued the celebration most of the day yesterday. In my family, celebration = eating. Today the celebration is over. All the evil food is gone. I will be restocking with healthier choices. I only have chicken and veggies in the fridge at the moment. I wanted to take an early walk today, but it's…

@1skholloway Congratulations on your weight loss! That is awesome!

I've been drinking lots of water...to wash down the ridiculous amount of food I've had lately. (So much for exercising restraint.) I, too, am looking forward to the new year and that fresh start once again.

Thanks, @JanolaBarbara. So far, it's been pretty pleasant. A nice dinner (without stuffing ourselves). Tomorrow, we'll have a family lunch at my brother's house. Merry Christmas everyone!

A gift to yourself this season sounds like a great plan. I hope everyone does it, at least a little gift.

I got 5 gifts today. 4 were chocolate candy and 1 was sugar cookies. That's so sweet of people...on the one hand. On the other hand, sabotage!

Hi, all. I can't believe how quickly the days slip by! Busy time of year. I started walking after work again this week, but today was too cold. I stayed in all day. Luckily, I didn't have much food in the house to indulge in. @2020pinktogo I misplaced my little address book and decided only to send cards to people who sent…

@2020pinktogo So you made it through your lunch, great! Did anyone say "Let's do this again soon"? @1skholloway My workplace still has lots of munchies being brought in on a daily basis. I did not attend our Christmas party and was thinking Yay! Now, our boss has decided to have another one because of the low turnout! Who…

It rained all day today. I stayed in and went through my tubs of Christmas decorations. I pulled out more than half of it to give away. It's about time. I made soup today. Great day for it.

I actually joined the December thread only 1 day late!

I'm back! Thanksgiving went fine with family. And this past week I had my annual work evaluation. That's why I forgot to check in. Had lots going on. I skimmed through last week's posts. Depression, ulcers, etc. I hope everyone is feeling better now. Friends can often be more caring than family. I turn to my friends to…

@2020pinktogo I had to get back on online because I just remembered that Nov 23, 2015 was our start date for this group. Congratulations on our anniversary. Thank you, KrisM111, wherever you are!

@1skholloway Good planning for day off and healthy eating. I'm headed to see family tomorrow. I'm not going to stress about food. What will be will be. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
