LOL that was too funny @Mari22na . I watched the whole thing and loved it!

I'm practically an expert at procrastination, but I even fail at that! LOL No seriously, I'm so guilty but the first step is to recognize that, and make up your mind that it's ok and you are headed somewhere that you are ok with or not. My guess is you are probably here because it's not ok, but where from here? I'm…

Yep @mari22na, I saw that online today. Lots going on in the geological arena these days, very interesting! And hey man, I'm putting along ok for an old girl, my head is much younger than my body! LOL I think when the head gets old, you got a real problem. In the meantime, I just keep doing as well as I am motivated to do…

I've been lurking but not posting because it takes time to sort through this brain for something to say that gets to the point and doesn't put y'all to sleep! LOL I'm not as focused as I need to be but I have an appointment with my Pulmonologist next week and I'm pretty sure he is going to say some things that will focus…

Hey @luv2walk84 glad you are lurking and keeping up the good fight to better health, and it's stinking hot here too! Welcome to @bufger and I agree this is probably a great group for you and you will make a great pal for us as well. I for one can use all the wisdom and encouragement I can get. Type 1 Diabetes is a…

@allison8668 I'm working on more fresh and raw foods today. I love the great produce of summer. Salads are great but I HATE making them! Be tough, Holly, like your friend Mari22na! LOL
-
Sorry guys for the absence. Pain is the problem. The knees are getting much stronger and better with the PT but the hips and lower back are suffering majorly now. Nothing is comfortable for long. Sitting too long even on a soft cushion on a firm chair or standing too long in one spot, and walking too long. I seem to be in…

Hey Mari22na is that you riding that beautiful mule? A town down south of Nashville has Mule Day every year and I love to go there and see them. They are so beautiful. @VUA21 I think even I could make the Turtle Running Team! Welcome!

Hi @allison8668 and welcome to the group. Hey yeah girl, I dream too! Yes, I love the swim lanes and because I'm retired I can usually get there at a time when they aren't crowded. The indoor pool has five or six lanes and the outdoor pool has two or three. I have hypothyroid medication too, but I have to keep the dose…
-
Hey Guys! I'm back home and it's been a tough day pain wise but I'm planning to go to the pool tomorrow. I haven't been logging my food this week but I will start back tomorrow. Haven't been on the scale so I don't know how that is but I'm very happy with the food choices I've been making! Welcome @dnunny70 ! Yeah that…

Haven't been on much due to being away for the holiday with my family. It's been very hot and humid but we've had a great time in the pool. Lots of summer time foods. Today I made a kale salad for lunch and had a small skinless, boneless grilled chicken thigh. It was light enough and very delicious. We had left overs from…

Hi @happyanxietyca, yep that's what I'm all about! Welcome and come back and be part of the group!
-
@luv2walk84 You guys have a great trip and be safe! I had lunch with a dear friend after church today and my plan for the afternoon was to rest but that hasn't happened yet. Had lots of catch up to do on FB and stuff, but my hips are hurting from all the sitting I've been doing today, so I'm going to go and stretch out for…
-
I love my Garmin, it is so amazing and I would love to say yes but I can't compete anymore in steps, as the doctor said no more walking for exercise unless it's in a pool. I would gladly be your friend but you won't find me pushing you to outdo me! LOL
-
I don't usually spend this much time on a thread. Once a day is fine for me, maybe twice if there is something really great to share, but if you keep it up for people to see frequently they are more likely to stop by and chat, so I'm trying to help us all by keeping it up near the top. I need all the support and motivation…
-
@luv2walk84 Welcome! I so understand your challenges because they are very similar to mine! It just about killed me when the orthopedic doctor said no more walking for exercise unless it's in the pool. That just isn't as satisfying but hey in this weather it is a lot cooler, so I guess I should look at the positives! Just…

Hey @Bex953172 I have checked out the Just for Today thread twice in the past two days and remembered that I have tried that thread before and it just makes me crazy trying to keep up. I'm just not a "sort of" kind of person, when I'm in, I'm in whole heartedly and 7 page additions is just too much time sitting in front of…
-
It's a bright sunny day and not as humid as it has been recently. I think it's a great day to go to the outdoor pool at the Y and at least get in the water and move. No classes today. Where is everyone? What are your plans for the weekend?
-
Thanks @Bex953172 those are good ideas. I set two goals for myself today and I'm happy to report I have accomplished them. One was contact my insurance provider to check on my Silver Sneakers program to be sure it was still available under my program and it is!!!! The other was to look up the Y schedule and make some plans…
-
Today was a physical therapy day and as usual it left me in pain, but I am getting stronger and they are now adding new things and more weight so I know that I'm progressing! My next hurtle is to get myself to the Y and start pool exercise. I wish I could say it sounds good but truthfully, even though I know I will love…
-
@Bex953172 Thanks, I'll check it out. I don't object to challenges that build good habits, but I'm not interested in weight loss challenges. I need to reestablish a water habit, as it has gone by the wayside. And I'm sure there are other habits I need to reestablish too! @Mari22na Loved that video and hope you have a great…
-
@soniabrothers901, I'm right there with you. I love to cook and I love to cook for my friends and family, but no one complains because they all love it. I love making things from scratch and I've loved learning to make fresh whole foods that really satisfy my expansive palette! I use a Garmin tracker and when I used it and…

Hi @AmberGlitterSparkles , challenges are where for a specified time you post your weight daily/weekly etc and a goal to lose X amounts of pounds. Some people can be very motivated by seeing their efforts on these and that's great if you do, but it isn't for everyone. I have a significant amount of weight to lose as well,…
-
I am all about calorie and nutrient counting. It works and you get to eat what your body wants, as long as it fits the goal and what the body needs. A splurge once in a while won't destroy everything you've done. That's called all or none thinking and it's not healthy! For it to be a life change, you have to enjoy it, so…
-
I have scads of friends and it doesn't help me much to just see what exercise they have done or what they are eating, although what they eat can be interesting :) but what really helps me is to chat on the thread. So here is my chat for the day. I've been back on the wagon for several weeks now and my hunger has been…
-
I love this banding together and I believe that we can do this, really I do! @lorrpb is certainly an inspiration for us. So just keep coming back and sharing with us and lets all do our best to help others along and to be there for each other through the good and bad! I had a good day but I haven't met my step goal yet so…

My name is Holly and I'm 69 and I started at 307 and currently at 283. Last fall I had some health issue that kept me from exercising and eating properly so I gained back about 20 pounds of the fifty I had lost and then I just managed to maintain over the winter. Now that I can get out and walk again, I'm on the downswing…

Re: Online social butterfly/introverts I do find it quite amazing that many of us here fit into the online extrovert but in RL we are pretty serious introverts! Like some of you, I love to travel but I'm best with just one other person that I am very familiar with and comfortable! I guess that's why we come here, because I…

Ginger in TX, what a great idea to wrap a finger in dental floss to get a stuck ring off! Wildhorse Wendy. You are a very blessed woman to have the opportunity to teach on horseback! I’m sure you are a big blessing to those that you teach too! I read your profile just now and you sound like a really delightful person!…

Just got to the bottom of page six, so thought I would post my comments before it's too long! Barbiecat, I admire your dedication to learning to scan and store photos. That is a project I’m going to add to my list of must dos! Macha, I love your hair. I always wanted mine that long but it’s very fine, so even though I had…
