I had such a great day yesterday….at the gym at 5 AM. Didn’t do a whole lot, but managed to make it through 15 minutes on the elliptical! I’ve decided to go on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings. Then again on Saturday morning if I can fit it into my :sad: schedule. :happy: Discovered Veggie Sticks yesterday. They are great.…

It is raining a cold relentless rain here this morning. I didn't walk Storm so I guess I'll head to the gym this evening. I wanted to go this morning but it doesn't open on Monday until 7:00 and need to be on my way to work at 7:30 from my house. Boy did he (Storm) give me a case of guilt for not going for his…

It's Sunday!:flowerforyou: I've cooked and eaten breakfast and I have a 30 minute break before getting ready to go to church! I've decided to make Sunday my weigh in day and this morning I am happy, thrilled, and reporting a 6.4 pound weight loss for last week. I know its my first real week since getting back on track and…

Happy Saturday Ladies! I didn't get to the gym Friday morning we thought we would go this morning, but I was so worn out I slept really late. So I decided I would tackle some house chores today and I have been rolling along.. I also wanted to make sure I caught up on your posts so my action plan is to tackle a chore and…

Jb in Portland: “*Treat yourself kindly, with compassion (this is getting easier, with practice)” and “*Make time for self-care, including paying attention to this list! (yes!)” really hit home with me.:smile: I went and had a pedicure and my eyebrows shaped for the first time in almost a year. I had to stop and figure out…

So proud of me today!:smile: I logged in my food - each and every bite - and my exercise. I made myself walk the Doberman at 6 AM even though I did not want to get out of bed. Had an extra long day at work. Speed walked through grocery shopping :tongue: Managed keep a half gallon of chocolate ice cream out of my shopping…

Hey Ladies! I fell way off the wagon, but April 1st seems like a great day to get back on track! My goals for April are.... 1. Walk the dog at least five mornings each week. 2. Release :wink: at least 5 pounds. 3. Remember that I must take special care of myself! Tere

You must be my twin! Alcohol and cheesecake are my enemies!:sad: It is amazing how much you will learn from your daily log.

Joyce and Michelle: Thanks for reading my rant! :smile: You are absolutely right – we do need to set some limits. :explode: My SO and I are the eldest siblings in each family and we moved into a house that is absolutely perfect for entertaining. Since we have been in this house we have hosted Thanksgiving, Christmas,…

I've been feeling a little hum drum lately. :indifferent: The weather is changing and the yard is already filling up with leaves; I'm having various and sundry aches and pains; work has been hectic to say the least; our extended family is pushing us to host Thanksgiving; my daughter announced her plans for me to give her a…

Gave myself a month to have everything I wanted to eat and now I'm reaping the consequences - 10 pound regain. :sad: But I'm back on track and glad to find you!

For me its evening and weekends.:grumble: Sending friend requests! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the welcome back everybody! :flowerforyou: I've had a long but great day today including washing the dog! That was a hoot! He loved it!! Dogs are so wonderful and accepting! I don't know how I would be without my Storm! He and I are now walking our 2 miles in a little less than 30 minutes and it is really…

I've really been slacking for the last month or so. I don't know what happened to me. :sad: One thing that derailed me was my birthday. I had a ball and all the martinis :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: were showing up on the scale for the last 3 weeks that was so discouraging - especially to the tune of a four pound gain!…

Hey Everybody! Missed you last week! Life was a little hectic... I didn't get a moment to keep up with all the posts but I'll get there before the end of the week. SO broke his toe on the coffee table then bruised his knee pretty badly working so he has needed a little TLC! You know....can you get my medicine...can you get…

Happy Thursday Pals! I'm having a light workout day today! Got my walk in first thing this morning and will do my calisthenics this evening in place of going to the gym! It's raining, raining, and raining here. It really puts a damper on things like exercise and heightened the desire to eat lots of sweet and sticky things…

Hey Ladies! Just wanted to share: I am having a great time at the gym especially since I found that I could make a music playlist for my Kindle. My favorite song is I Hope You Dance by Oleta Adams! I can listen to that 3 or 4 times in a row (16 minutes). I originally thought the ear plugs were just a young people thing but…

Good Afternoon Ladies! I’ve had a great morning. I wasn’t moving very fast out of the bed today, but got with the program and Storm dragged me down the streets for our walk! Had a coworker come in with two boxes of Hanover Tomatoes, some cucumbers, and banana peppers. :bigsmile: My laugh for the day from my DSO "I don't…

Ladies, I am back with a vengeance! I had a 2 hour workout in the gym yesterday and a 1-1/2 hour today! I feel so much better when I workout. My DSO and I made a commitment to go to Jamaica in April and I plan to be wearing a less matronly bathing suit! So it is on! I didn't do so hot with my June goals but I am definitely…

Hey Ladies! I've kinda been out of it since the middle of June. :ohwell: Lots going on at home,... new grandchild, crazy children, siblings, mother and SO. But its all good and I'm back! Hopefully I'll get caught up on posts soon. Tere

Hey Ladies! I've missed you! We had a terrible wind storm here, in Richmond VA, on Thursday afternoon. :frown: We got our electricity back on Saturday and got cable, phone and internet on Sunday afternoon! I did a great job staying on track though! Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up on all the posts this…

Can't sleep tonight!:yawn: Was tied to my desk nd computer all day at work; came home cooked and ate dinner; tried to spend some time with my SO and fell into bed at 8:00. Got 5 hours of sleep in and hopefully will get a couple more before time to walk Storm and then its off to the races again.:frown: :frown: This has…

Happy Monday Ladies! I missed you for the last couple of days. I didn’t know how to get past Page 20. :huh: So I learned something new this morning. :tongue: Had a great weekend, some walking, some relaxing and we went to the movies. For the first time I went to an IMAX theater. It was worth the extra $2.50 per ticket –…

RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN HERE IN RICHMOND VA!!!!! :ohwell: Storm and I managed to get out at 6:30 am for our 45 minute walk when it was misting. Love my rain gear! Now it is pouring buckets again. Anyway I guess its a good day to do housework! Itsn't it grand that MFP will count it as exercise?:wink: Phoo – My SO is a very…

Storm and I have walked for several years. Rather he walked, jogged, ran and stoped as he saw fit and I just held onto the leash!:angry: Recently, as I decided to ramp up my exercise, my SO started walking with us (former Marine K9 handler). I gave up control of the leash and let him have at it. Four days later he turned…

It’s raining in Richmond VA this morning. I don’t have rain gear, so no walk. I don’t know who was more disappointed, me or Storm (the Doberman). :sad: So I decided to do some crunches instead. That did not satisfy me so, I guess I’ll stop and buy some rain gear this evening as it’s supposed to rain through the middle of…

My doberman was a trainer in his previous life! We walk/jog every morning at least 1.6 miles at 6:00 a.m.:yawn: He generally pulls me up the first hill and then its on! He doesn't have body fat although he weighs in at 95 pounds. However, I noticed after the first week of walking his muscles started bulking up. I imagine…

Good Morning Ladies! I got a great walk in this morning. Really loving this group! :smile: bb55shawn – I got a very cheap pedometer on Tuesday. I just wanted to see if I could keep it with me before I bought a more expensive one. This morning I think it is somewhere on the floor of the car. :frown: How are you doing with…

I am so glad I found this group because I think your perspective changes after 50 and I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you. My SO and I have lots of friends in our age group but for the most part they are rather sedentary. We have a blended household consisting of 6 children (two in their forties, three in…
