Patti - have you considered trying one of those portable TINS devices that you stick on your back to provide electronic stimulation? When I tweaked my back in January just before a work road trip it was an absolute lifesaver! The one I got was Alene Direct Therapy. I'll post a pic of the box after this post.

Hi gang! Accountability first: consumed 42 points yesterday (all those carbs for upset tummy were point heavy), so not a blue dot day. So far I have 2 out of 3 days this week. 30 WPA left for the week and on track so far today for a blue dot day today. Janet - it's good to see you with your chin up and making the most of…

Hi gang! I'm down for the count today with a terrible sinus headache and a very upset stomach. So, I'll be brief and do personals another time. My mini goal this week is to have at least 5 "blue dot" days. Blue dot days in the WW world are those days you keep your points between 3 below or 7 above your daily total. When…

Every time I've tried to post today, there's been problems with the app. Let's see how this goes this time. It's quite a lovely day in the neighborhood today! 60's, sunny and no wind! That almost never happens this time of year in Oooooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains! After laying around much too…

Hi gang! Sorry I've not checked in. Did well with my week's plan until yesterday. It was raining Thursday evening and I was unable to catch the treadmill at the hotel unoccupied, so I finally just went shopping instead. Not as many steps as I'd been getting, but I was up on my feet and moving. After teaching yesterday…

So, roller coaster due to all the ups and downs, twists and turns, inability to see around the next corner that comes with weight loss and life. I'm OK with my day today. Shouldn't have given in to that piece of cake, but happy with the rest of it, especially over 14,000 steps! Taking my walking gear with me again tomorrow…

Crap! MFP shut down and I lost a long post. Gotta dash. Short AOTD - roller coaster. I'll explain later. Suzi

Late check in for me but I wanted to get here to report my progress. On plan! No stupid eating and walked fast for about an hour before dinner. After getting back to the hotel, I worked on my "why". I had the notes I'd made back when we were doing "project me". I also found some old notes I'd made several years ago that…

Karla - just realized I didn't answer your question. Yes, please! I'm in for sharing trackers and minimum8,000 steps per day.

BAM - Breathe, Accept, Move On. That's exactly what I'm doing. Thank you all for the reminder. Janet - I'm watching the W's for you, but since you're DVR'ing the game, I won't post any updates. Diane - enjoy your company and that delicious tart! I'm hoping to help eliminate excuses and reinforce the commitment to walk by…

Hi gang! I did something at WW today for only the second time in 10 years - took a WI pass. Well, kinda anyway. My leader talked me into stepping on the scale and she put the sticker in my book, then covered it up with a plain sticker so I couldn't see it. This way, the computer will know what I've lost next week and I…

Hi gang! It's been a busy work week and all but one evening spent hanging with coworker buddies. Food has been a total disaster and nothing tracked. I've had terrible insomnia most of the week, but finally slept well last night when I got home. Only good news is 2 really high step-count days. It's good to be home with Dave…

Well I see last night's post didn't post. I hate it when that happens! Had a great time with Jessi, her roomie, coworker and coworker's parents at the Heart Walk yesterday. We even took the dogs with us and they did great on their socialization homework! Several thousand people and several hundred dogs and our babies were…

Hi gang! I've been awake since 4 this morning-just couldn't go back to sleep. Up at 6:30 for yoga class before picking up Dean for the day. We had a very large time together today - flower shopping, lunch with some friends, helping Dave plant green beans, playing with Ellis and a visit to the local park that has a HUGE…

Hi gang! Just home from a girls night out with Jessi, her 2 besties and one of the other girl's Mom. We had Mexican food and saw Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest at the theatre. I had very few chips, almost no cheese and had a chicken & vegetable dish. It's been super busy today and will be another busy day tomorrow.…

Janet - I LOVE this. "We all know WHAT to do and HOW to do it. Also WHY we want to. It's just the dozens of decision points we hit during the course of every single day that sometimes wear us down". When I don't take time for careful consideration at those decision points is when I get myself in trouble. Patti - so glad to…

Mornin' y'all! Just finished yoga class and now I'm going to do some weight machines while Dave does his spin class. As I walked past the front desk, I picked up a new pool schedule and they've added a HIIT class in the pool! It's right after yoga on Monday and Friday. Yay! I keep reading about HIIT (high intensity…

Karla - I'm so very sorry. It's just not fair that you had to lose Brutus now with everything else your family has been through. I still think we should all be given a pet at birth that would share our lifetime. It's just so very painful to lose them. I still tear up anytime I try to talk about Laci. Janet and Bert - when…

Hi gang! I've had a couple of really busy days. LOTS of flower planting, and also repotting and propagating house plants after moving them outdoors a week or so ago. I'm at 8,834 steps and counting for today without any planned exercise. Cindy and Karla - I promise to send you both my tracker this evening after supper.…

Hi gang! I'm back from cell hell AKA the lake house. Quick check in. I'm sitting in the chair fixin to have my hair colored and cut. More later, Suzi

Bert - does the new grill mean that burgers are on the menu after all for the birthday celebration? Janet - soak up all the basketball you can. The end of the college season is nearly here! Karla - if you check in, know your family is in our prayers here in OK. Patti - hope you're vacationing up a storm! Diane - saw pix of…

Mornin' y'all! I had a really fund day yesterday with my oldest DD, Jeana. We went to the home & garden show, did some shopping, had both breakfast and lunch out. Also got lots of steps, although not quite to my 10,000 minimum, and consumed the majority of my WPA. My focus for the coming week will remain the same - to stay…

Mornin' y'all! I decided to drive home yesterday evening rather than stay overnight in AR. It made for a really long day, but I'm home and feel like I've gained today back. There was good news and bad news on my "performance" toward my planned weekly goals yesterday. Good news: no snacking in the car except the healthy…

Oh my God, Karla! What horribly tragic news. I don't even know what to say... My report for today. Used a total of 45 points for the day, which leaves me with 15 WPA remaining. If only I hadn't screwed up and ordered hash browns at breakfast instead of fruit like I normally do, that would have been 37 points used for the…

Hi gang! Very busy day here. Dave and I spent the morning working on one of the sailboats getting her ready to go in the water, if it ever rains! Right now the lake water level is so low, I'm not sure we could get her out of the harbor. I'm doing a little work now while Dave is napping and the dogs are outdoors barking. We…

Today's report: ate 33 points worth, leaving 30 in my WPA. Exercise today was just steps 8,329 for 10 FP's earned giving me a total of 54 toward my weekly goal of 100. I'm going to need to get busy if I'm going to hit that goal! Cindy and Karla - I sent you a text with my tracker screenshots. Until tomorrow, Suzi

Cindy and Karla if you want to trade trackers. My cell is 405-641-6250. That reminds me, need to track my lunch! Right now, I'm in the middle of moving my house plants outdoors for the season. LOVE this time of year!

Mornin' y'all! 95 yesterday afternoon and mid-80's predicted today. We woke up to 65 on my back porch this morning. Things will normalize some tomorrow with highs dropping back to 60's and 70's the rest of the week. Cindy - I'm happy to be your inspiration and I'm willing to also be your tracking buddy if you'd like.…

Today's results: 30 Sp's; 33 WPA remaining; 8 FP's for 60 minutes yoga and 16FP's for 13,560 steps giving me a total of 44 FP's towards my weekly goal of 100.
