  • Hi all, It's been a little while since I posted, but I'm reading along. Had to see the doctor yesterday becasue I've been having a lot of pain in my wrist. He diagnosed overuse of some tendons. I can't believe how upset I am that I have to take a break from personal training! I've been making great progress, but I believe…
  • Pippin is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Pembroke means he doesn't have a tail. Cardigan Corgis have tails. He is a very active little boy and very "bitey". He chews on everything but most of the time we can replace the "bad" thing with a toy and he chews on that. His first vet visit is today. He is very social so I think it will…
  • So...yesterday we went and picked up the puppy! His name is Pippin and he is an adorable active little boy. He is 10 weeks old. We were worried how he would do last nite and he slept through until 6:30. While 6:30 is way earlier than I normally wake up on a Sunday, I consider us lucky he "slept in". Yesterday was the first…
  • Michele in NC-we are getting the puppy from a breeder in N. Georgia, near Rome. I have been an advocate for years for animal rescue, so I feel somewhat guilty, but I really wanted a corgi!!! This is probably the puppy we are getting
  • Hello Ladies!!!! (((Hugs))) to all suffering from the smoke-been there, done that, it sucks. Take care of yourselves! Okie-I hope it makes you laugh that the first thing I did when I read the first line of your post about caffeine withdrawal was make myself a cup of coffee! It's that time of the afternoon, but you reminded…
  • Happy August ladies!!!! Big surprise this morning-weighed myself this AM and have lost 10 pounds so far!! This is a surprise because from Thurs-Tues I was on the other coast with my dad and sister. It is always stressful but obviously I didn't do too badly! My sister is an inspiration to me so that helps. Speaking of…
  • CJ-so sorry to hear your news. I will be praying for you and your family I wanted to check in about my July goals: 10-11K steps a day: I took yesterday off-not feeling well; but otherwise yes!!! Continue to track food daily: Yes! Ask for names/phone numbers of personal trainers at my gym and call someone! Had to submit…
  • Your kitties look just like my Lucy!!!! So sweet! ElizabethGA
  • Tracey-I agree, those are awesome engagement photos plus PUPPY!!!! I'm having a rough day at work. Just a lot of stupid emails from people who like to change the rules without telling me and then acting like I'M at fault because I'm not psychic. GRRRR. The GREAT news is, though, I didn't run into the comforting arms of…
  • You can call me ElizabethGA! Thanks!!! Update on doctor's appointment-cholesterol is great (thank you genetics!) but glucose was a little high. I had already told my doc what I was doing and he said to keep it up and the glucose number will go down. Also, my scale matches his. AND I went to the gym and got the info to get…
  • "Are there any of you who have stopped drinking alcohol to find sugar and carb cravings going up?" YES. This is so true. Alcohol=sugar. I quit drinking almost 19 years ago and become a sweets/carb freak-still am. Prior to quitting I was a total salty snack person. Now I can take or leave chips and nuts. The sweets/carb…
  • Hi everyone! This seems like the group for me! My name is Elizabeth, I'm 54, and I live in Decatur, GA. After trying and failing not succeeding at losing weight and getting in shape (whatever that means!) I reached my highest weight ever recently. I know what I need to do, but can't seem to stay motivated. Or something bad…
