I'm here and looking forward to the Midnight Sun challenge! I enjoyed reading about your resistance to Twilight, @chanstriste13! I really wondered how my sister (@77tes) could've gone off the deep end! But then I discovered it and got my daughter and DH into it as well. My hubby has read Midnight Sun more times than I…

You already look great, your loss makes you look healthier and happier, too!! I am so glad you found MFP to work. Like you I really didn't think it could. SO glad to have been wrong! Best wishes on your future goal, you already know you can do it, 'cause you've proved it the last 365 days!!! Congrats!!:happy:

Great reminders!!! Love the joy and happiness one...and that your mom is always right! ;-)

I walked today for over an hour, part of it really slow with my old dog, but I guess it counts. Then I decided to do some housework and log it, and in order to keep from sitting down during that time I put on my Breaking Dawn Part I sound track. The first song to play was "It Will Rain" and I love how, though it may seem…

Hey, that sounds like a great idea...hmm, staying healthy and alive, preparing for Christmas and battle,...oh yeah, Bella would!!

Try Sargento Reduced Sodium string cheese if you can find it. It's creamy and tasty and only 10 calories more per stick than their Lite.

Wow! I knew eggs were a good source of protein and healthful fat, but never heard before that they were good for your eyes, as well as hair and nails!! Thanks for the link!

I'm in! What great ideas for independent thinking about food and fitness on Independence day week! My Sunday check-in: Strength: Wrestling with two child infant car seats--trying to get them in the back seat of my small two-door car. I finally succeeded, but was dripping with sweat by the end of that workout! Cardio:…

Be sure to ask --if the damage done to the knee can be reversed with just rest or proper exercises, --what exercise/sports to avoid further injury, --and if physical therapy would help restore your full use of it again. Good luck!

308/150 Dancing, walking, running, aerobics. Enjoyed a cool cloudy day, hoping for vampires on my walk. 23/30 minutes Strength Training...maybe more later this eve? Logging honestly, Over for the week but had a party to go to yesterday and enjoyed the desserts though I ate a sensible meal first. Twilight... Thinking about…

CARDIO 132/150 with Curves circuit 2x and walking STRENGTH TRAINING 20/30 doing 8 moves I found on Shape webste, starting small. LOGGING Food, Exercise, and Water-- doing better on H2O thanks to crazy hot winds we've been having Twilight thoughts... To quote LeighAnn: Twilight quote or song that moved and grooved me today:…

Me too! Thanks for a great challenge, Yvonne!

Sounds like such a great challenge, Yvonne! I need to find my mojo-vators for sure! Twijourney, you said it so beautifully! Chantriste is right, you totally hit that one out of the ballpark (or meadow, shall we say!) Going to go weed in a bed that has yellow, white and purple flowers, hmmmm, nice!!

Days 2-4 Sorry I got lost in the forest there...I've had really annoying computer problems, then a raging headache yesterday. Last time I tried to post I lost the message just before I completed it and I was too frustrated to try again. Today is better. Moves-- Forgot yesterday, but every other day I've done them.…

Day 1 Moves-- I felt those helped throughout day, some in the car, some after cardio, and some in shower. Meditation-- I did mine in the shower, just don't tell on me! Rainbow -- This was great since I missed it last time. I got my blueberries on yogurt; red cabbage, tomatoes, and onions in salad; orange apricots on…

Day 7 -Sunday Cardio 251/150 Butt Work 300/25 Water 6/8 Cals under 269, but finished the week over by 159. That actually is much better than I did the previous 3 weeks. Twilight summery feeling: Alice returning after the cliff-diving stunt and chiding Bella in her cute loving way about her idiocy and hanging out with…

You're a mind reader! I wake with stiff neck most mornings!

Surf, we're going to be visiting my daughter north of Seattle, so flying there, but Forks comes first! Priorities, you know!:laugh:

Days 5 & 6 Cardio-- Fri. 0, Sat. 30 minutes. Thought I'd pretty much sunk my week with bingeing and no cardio yesterday, but looking at the whole week makes me glad of this challenge: 175 minutes of cardio total so far. Butt work -- 70 yesterday in the car, 30 today. I'm not sure I don't make a strange face when doing the…

Day 4--Thursday Cardio -- 50 minutes walking so I'm ahead of the curve for the week Butt Work-- Gotta do another set of 25 in front of TV Water--10*8 better than usual Cals under-- woo hoo, 3 out of 4 days! OK, I was good on walking, but didn't do diddly-squat of the extras. But I have wonderful intentions for those for…

Day 3--Wednesday Good going, Yvonne! You included Short Life of Bree Tanner along with all the others for jumping jacks, which I forgot! I had a half and half day. Morning I was busy and productive, and my cardio burn was higher on the circuit. After some errands, I got home and all I wanted to do was eat the easiest stuff…

Kathy, that is so cool!!! Day 2 -- Tuesday Check-in Cardio-- 35 min walk around the neighborhood Butt work-- 100/250 half in shower, half as I log Water 8*8--check! Calories under-- twice in a row, woo hoo! What I did and What It Took--I had to walk the short block with both dogs, since my old one is slow. But after 10…

Day 1 - Monday Cardio 30 minutes, morning circuit, check! Butt work 50, half during stretch and half in the shower! Water 8*8, check! Calories under, just barely, but it's a start! To get off my back side this afternoon while working on taxes, I took my dog out for a frisbee break! Not much of a workout for me but it was…

How right you are, that title could have my name in it for sure. So I'm in for this challenge. I sit on my backside way too much of the day, being at home a lot and searching online for work. Depressing! Thanks for goals to brighten (and tighten) things up!

Thanks, KBrenOH, just listened to Christina Perri 1000 Years (BD2) and loved it. I also listened to Carter Burwell's instrumental "Plus que Ma Prope VIe". Had to use my translator to figure that means "more than my own life". I think it's cool how both pieces are expanded from the original themes. Don't want to spoil the…

Thanks! Those Beef tips sound yummy, rather like the pot roast in the oven I learned long ago.

OK.awesome leader, I'm signing up for the mission to try decoding Insanity Workout video while in disguise as a smiling granny. If you don't hear any further from or of me, this granny hit self-destruct!

I love all the twilighty music (well, most of it). But speaking of themes that surface again, Jacob's theme from Eclipse comes to mind, and, am I right in thinking that it surfaces when Jacob first sees Renesmee in BD? Oh, better watch again to find out. So far, I'm good on cardio and water (helps that its sweltering here…

Week 5, Days 1 & 2 Cardio 58 / 117 Plies 2 / 5 Bicycles 2 / 5 Banking +21 I have told myself to keep going in the right direction. Don't be in a haze, directionless, undecided, torn between too many competing voices. Wow, how I'm channeling Bella here! Hope everybody has a great Bella's birthday, minus the paper cut, of…

Gonna try to finish this challenge and prepare for Bella's birthday. Last week was kinda tough, and a lot of my problem is how I psyche myself up with all the stuff on my plate just now, and that can stand in the way of moving forward. I love the song Friends in New Moon and how perfect it is for the scene in the movie…
