Lisa, you and your sister rock! That's EXACTLY how I felt when I turned 50! It was so freeing. Turning 60, now, that was a different story... :s I've finished up my furniture repainting project and love the results. Have already decided how I'm going to repaint the next piece in line. That's going to wait, though; my best…

Re, if you are referring to the Suparz shots (made from rooster combs), I've had them. Unfortunately, they did absolutely nothing for me, but didn't make it worse, either. Knee injections actually don't hurt--there's just this weird feeling of pressure--unless the injection goes into the wrong place. THEN it hurts! Hope…

Well, a quick trip back through the food diary was very revealing! Three days when NO dinner was logged at all (which usually means that we went out and it was just too much trouble to figure out and log), and also means that those meals probably weren't as clean as they should have been. Have also been letting the wine…

Well, today is weigh day and I'm up 1 lb. So discouraging. Will go back and look over my food diary for the last week.

Wishing you peace right back, Kim; sure sounds like you could use some peace of mind. Family expectations, especially from our parents, are so hard. Whatever course of action you choose, try to make it something that you can look back on a year, two years, five years from now and say "I did the best I could at the time,…

Lenora, thx for the correct wording: they are a "party" of peacocks, indeed. I took some video, but not sure it would post, so will wait for the next big show and take some stills.

Good morning, ladies! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. I'm still limping around with a sore knee, so will make an appt with a different orthopedic doc tomorrow. That's slowing down my cardio...and just generally making me grumpy. Grrr. Thanks for posting the motivational slogans, etc. I'm not a very patient person so…

Ugh...weight up 2 lbs on scale this morning. Had no exercise yesterday due to babying sore knee. Stayed under calories, did have glass and a half of red wine. I try not to be obsessed with scale; weigh every day but only record on tuesdays. Still a bit disheartening.
-
Jolene, you made me laugh, too! Hope you can keep the cheese where it belongs for the rest of the day! I went to the gym to do my circuit training, and found that a new trainer was there to conduct a class. Since I was the only one there I became his class, meaning I had him all to myself, so no slacking on weight or reps!…

Weigh day today -- down 1.2 lbs, making a total of 7.2 lbs since Jan 1. Yay!!
-
KJ, so sorry for your loss. Mary, please keep us posted on the keto thing. I'd love to know what a typical food day for you looks like.
-
Love that Canadian temp chart! Gave me a laugh that I needed this morning...for some reason my coffee and yogurt decided it wanted to make a repeat appearance in bodypump class. Didn't throw up but it was close--blecch. I think I just got hot. Pip, all this time I've been picturing you on a Harley! Do u have snow tires on…
-
Pip, glad you got back on the horse that threw you! And glad you're not hurt :D. Reminds me of seeing this video of this really serious gym rat guy running on a treadmill when a VERY sexy woman walks by...he can't keep his eyes off her and gets thrown right off onto the floor, much to the amusement of his guy buds next to…

Good morning, ladies! Seems like weekends are so hard for lots of us to stay on plan. I'm thinking it comes from the sense of being off the leash a bit...I always seems to think I can "treat" myself with food. I have to keep reminding myself that food is fuel, just fuel Anyway, yesterday was a jewel of a day here in south…

Oh...naked yoga?? Seriously?? Ugh. Just imagine downward dog...:O

Hi ladies, Had a wonderful experience today--discovered a gentle yoga class at my gym! Used to practice regularly, but arthritis in both hips and knees made so many positions painful that I quit. Had a chance to chat up the instructor a bit about my issues, and really really enjoyed the class. It's at a time that will let…

Thanks for posting the veggie pun sign...I inherited my complete and total love for bad puns from my mom. Got a chuckle out of that one. Allie, I haven't commented to you or your situation as I don't feel I "know" you well enough, but your post made me remember this: Several years ago my DH and I were having breakfast in…
-
Cheri, congratulations! A lb a week is great! I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't hit a big stall. I love that you can buy butternut squash already peeled and cut up! I can get it at Costco, and even my Walmart neighborhood market has it. Used to not get it because it's such a pain to cut up and peel. Made a curried…
-
I agree, katie! I probably didn't express myself too well. I know that I don't have to eliminate wine or the occasional cocktail forever, but cutting it way back for now is what I need to do. It's a dangerous habit to fall into anyway, and I am trying to get the other 20 lbs off by mid-May. DH has a conference in Vegas to…
-
Good morning, ladies! Well, happy happy joy joy -- I am ending January with a total loss of 6 lbs, and I've lost a good inch from my waist and hips, and 1.5 inches from the girls! Thighs are smaller by .5 inch, and calf is the same. I've been lucky enough to keep a pretty strong workout routine going, and I feel tighter…

Good evening, mfp friends, Today has been really strange for south Florida -- misty, rainy and chilly! First time I've seen this kind of weather here. It's been a wonderful day to just huddle up inside with a good book. I should have made myself go to the gym, but just couldn't get up the gumption. First day I've missed in…
-
Had a really nice thing happen this morning in bodypump class...especially after the Tuesday weigh in with no loss. One of the girls looked at me and said "you're losing weight!" Hurray -- the eye is better than the scale!! :dizzy: Marni, your weenies have the sweetest eyes! Loved the moose pics. Sorry, can't remember who…
-
Yvonne, I made that soup, too--but wasn't crazy about it because mine had a slightly burned flavor. Think maybe I'll try it again and roast the cauliflower a little less. Did you use full fat coconut milk? I used lite, and it didn't have much coconut flavor...
-
Good morning, all! Weighed in this morning at *exactly* the same as last week. No gain--I'll take it! Need to stay clean this week, and keep my exercise level high. Also need to remind myself that my body rarely shows a steady loss, more like stop/start/stop/start, so be patient. Rori, interesting sounding book. Drkatie,…
-
Thanks, Mary. I really appreciate your encouragement. Usually can make the brain override the gut, but had trouble today! I thought about measuring, but decided to hold out till the month is up. I'm the same way about salt -- have had my weight go up 3-4 lbs in a day just due to that. Getting ready to go take a brisk…
-
Charleen, bless your heart for saying the page number for Lisa's quilt pic!! Lisa, it's amazing--and with all those panels being different sizes, I can see why it was hard to piece. Great job! Today the scale punished me for the two or three loose days I had toward the end of last week. And, based on the discussion about…

Meg, my divorced, wouldn't-take-a-penny, raised-2-kids-on-teachers-salary, mother used to tell me when things in my life got tough "this too shall pass". Sometimes, about all we can do is grit our teeth and soldier on. Sounds like you're in one of those, so hang in there. I must have missed whatever started the politics/no…

A new discovery--found out how to browse the list of exercises. I feel pretty stupid since it was right there in front of me, but just in case someone else missed it: click Add Exercise, then click All exercises (tab to the right) and voila. Re vitamin d--I was shocked to discover I was deficient. I play tennis outdoors…

Ok, guess I'll stop trying to post from the ipad. Have no idea why only a quarter of the post actually got posted!! At any rate, it's a small world. My sister lives in Monroe, and has in-laws who live in West Monroe. None of us know the duck people, either! Allie, good for you getting the CMA. I hope it's helpful. The only…

Mary, I'm from Ruston--a little piece down I-20 from WM! My sister lives in Monroe and has in laws in WM. And no, I don't know the duck people either, although I played tennis with one of the wives before they got so famous
