lisa I know you meant coffee this morning (drinking around) have a safe and sound journey on roads today and then on to enjoy your time off. Sharon you look so comfortable and happy and fit <3 Karen va you are an amazing help to your grands always. No guilt, no guilt, no guilt. Kelly Hope your cold doesn’t turn into the…

luci I am a fan of pumpkin pie because it really doesn’t need much sugar at all to taste wonderful. 30 years ago I met my MIL, our first thanksgiving together—I made a pumpkin pie to bring—-it has been a “love language” between us ever since; she enjoys it very much <3 As far as MILs go, we have a solid (not complicated or…

Boy this quote is so relatable at my work place. I like your attitude and will remember it this week—I’m supporting a very negative colleague at a concert Tuesday and would like to be in a lighter place going in and stay that way going out!! NYKAREN

Quiet good morning here. My pumpkin pie turned out beautifully and today we deliver it to MIL in Brooklyn. I will hit the treadmill for some good mileage before the arduous drive I'm anticipating. There's no way around it, nyc traffic is unbelievable this time of year but seeing MIL is important so off we go :s Beth enjoy…

Beautiful 3 mile walk in the foggy mist, lots of hills and my DH is a fast walker!! NYKAREN

lisa I know what you mean when you look at a picture of yourself and think “really, that’s how I am now? but what we see is love! And you Will look back 10 years from now and be so happy for that picture! Loving all the wisdom and love shared on this forum. No big plans today, perhaps a walk with DH before the weather…

barbie I'll bet your experience as a public school teacher makes differentiating and modifying the dances very manageable for you. Hopefully the regulars don't feel held back and the newcomers don't feel overwhelmed, to me that's the true challenge of modifying/differentiating, meeting everyone's needs and helping everyone…

hugs to you allie

Heather I've just started watching "Vera" I enjoy it very much, but I often will fall asleep during the show :s and will have to rewind and watch during the daytime. It must be the amazing countryside that is featured in the show, it puts me in a very relaxed state! 3 concerts down and 3 more to go. The joy and excitement…

Beth this is so wonderful and I will repeat my favorite sentence from above Improved health is just as important as weight loss!!! Love it! NYKAREN

Morning ladies, a light and beautiful dusting of snow is making everything twinkle this morning. Heather I think what you said about this holiday is very insightful. Peace and resilience. NYKAREN

rori hugs and healing strength are coming your way from all of us. One step at a time, let that word selfish fly away from you—it doesn’t fit your reality. Sending <3 NYKAREN

Heather and Lanette lovely natural decorations, so festive and beautiful. <3 NYKAREN

Heather I remember how difficult the move to Hove was for you, real estate is a tough tough business where you live! But that is all in the past and you have a wonderful home and community and close to your grands! It does give me hope though, DH and I are just starting on the journey, really just trying to zero in on…

<3 Strength and healing thoughts go out to those struggling right now NYKAREN

Home after a lovely walk in the cold air with DH, he is very focussed on recovering from his knee surgery and eating better. Walked 3 miles outdoors and will still walk the treadmill later today. Woohoo! NYKAREN

suziq this time of year is especially full of food and drinks pushers (it’s the holidays!, come on, just one more!!). My way of dealing with this—don’t ever go to social events hungry—always put food on your plate and a seltzer in your glass and walk around with it—you look busy and full! I know Barbie has some tried and…

Sue sending healing thoughts (((( <3 )))

heather Edie playing cello, be still my heart <3 First of 6 concerts down last night, I invited my colleagues to stay after work for a pot luck before the concert—my way of reaching out and staying positive—no regrets! The concert was filled with a lot of smiles and hugs amidst the squeaky scratchy sounds—lots of young…

Suziq don’t get me started. Young folks are transient and follow the $$ even in public ed!! The decisions I’ve seen make my scalp burn when it comes to making common sense management/hiring/efficiency decisions by my administrators. My sister is in marketing and by some genius-savant maneuvers has held on to a 30! Year…

Becca classic Santa pic! Athena is adorable <3 I love cleaning out my fridge after the holidays. I’ve been pushing leftovers on everyone. :s Most of what’s left is now labeled and tucked away in the freezer. So glad to not have to grocery shop for the next week as well. Hopping on the treadmill now and listening to…

lisa love the quilts, fantastic gifts for the grandkids <3 Our ice/snow storm means I’m home today (teachers love snow days more than students methinks). So on the to do list, walk extra in the treadmill and make soup with my turkey broth. Stay safe and cozy everyone. NYKAREN

Count me in! December 1: 135 Goal weight: 132 With all the treats and socializing this time of year, this will be a true challenge but the accountability and support here is awesome! NYKAREN

Happy December ladies! And thank you Barbie for your insightful stewardship. Terri I read your goals from November thread and will print out your insights — The little steps over time, the lifestyle for a lifetime is really what I’m striving for. Goals for December : —-treadmill every day until our trip —-healthy meals and…

Hugs to Beth and Lisa thinking of you! Well our visit with Rachel is being cut short because of impending ice and snow. I suppose we are overly cautious, but I would prefer she get 6 hours north before the road conditions start changing. DH and I are dropping her in Albany to pick up a ride to school north. It was a lovely…
