  • Hi All, Welcome to all the new ladies and congrats to all who saw some success in Feb. I didn't fare so well...but I start every day anew. As it's always been..the nights are my trouble spots.

  • Hi All! Just a quick hello. Sadly, I've given in to all the Val Day goodies...dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was yummy...but my guilt level is still very high. I'll get back on track. Everyone have a good Friday! Rita

  • Happy Sunday Everyone! Before I get to my housecleaning and laundry...I thought I'd better check in and say hello. It's been such a long while since I've checked in that I forgot my password! I do believe I might be able to breath in work this week so I should be able to get to the gym after work...and be more present in…

  • Hi Sherry, I've joined a gym that's on my way home from work and stop in for some exercise before i even pull in my driveway. If I set foot in my front door, that's the end of any hope of doing anything but dinner n housework. :laugh: And on the nights I stop to workout, I have more energy for getting things done the rest…

  • Hi All, I'm not doing well with exercise these days....diet isn't too bad although I haven't been logging. I've been so busy at work that when I get home, the last thing I want to do is be on my computer! I've been staying late at work...and driving right past the gym on my way home. At least I know that this chaos doesn't…

  • Hi All, Welcome to all the new ladies! This is one of the best groups I've ever seen for friendship and support. l miss it when I can't check in at least 1x/day. And I fall too far behind on the posts! I was sofa bound all day yesterday...stomach thing. Even though I'm up and around today...exercising isn't in my plans. I…

  • Hi All! Day 1 of Planet Fitness went well. Stopped on my way home from work just like I planned. Why didn't I think of this earlier??? It was so nice to walk on the treadmill w/o my dog trying to play with my feet....or my son asking when dinner would be ready. Pineapple and apples are in the dehydrator and hubby had…

  • Evening Ladies! I've joined Planet Fitness today. I am having the worst time trying to get any exercising done at home...too many distractions and interruptions. I drive right past PF on the way home from work. I have new sneaks...I'm ready to go. No distractions there I hope! After I work out...I'll go home and tend to…

  • Evening All! Thinking I had left enough time for dinner to settle...I started the Rodney Yee yoga burn. Not enough time. I was 15 minutes into it when my stomach went south.

Normally, I open the site in 2 windows so I can read in 1 window and respond to posts in the second as I go. Our group has grown so much, I don't think that's happening…
