Hello Ladies – I haven’t checked the message board for a few days and see I have at least 12 pages to catch up on!! Well its been a busy few days with medical appointments. I saw my Primary Care physician on Weds., went over my labs and had an EKG. Everything looked good and within range except for my cholesterol. It has…

Good Day Ladies – It is a scorcher here today, got a good case of heat and humidity!! I got my morning workout done early, 55 minutes on the elliptical. Due to my schedule I am going to try and make it to the YMCA for my circuit training on Weds/Fri. I’ve been really diligent about doing my back exercises and my back…

Good Morning and Happy Monday Ladies – Had a really nice weekend. On Saturday went to Baltimore to visit mom and take her to the cemetery to give dad a visit. On Sunday we had a cookout for FIL and family. It was a beautiful day, 80 with very low humidity, so we grilled and at out on the deck. I am getting a good harvest…

Happy Friday the 13th Ladies (and we also have a full moon tonight or as I’ve heard Lunatic Moon) I have had a very productive day so far. Got up early and got a 75 minute walk in. Then made some macaroni and pretzel salad for a cookout we are having on Sunday. I even got to the Y and did my strength circuit. Its just 3:15…

Good Morning Ladies – Its been a dreary and wet week here in Delaware. At least all this rain has gotten my garden to really sprout up. Need to get out there tonight and see what is going on. Thank you for everyone’s feedback on my recent weight gain. I would say I am 90-95% accurate in my food logging and try to err on…

Hello Ladies - Wow it has gotten warm and muggy here. For the month of June, I have done well on the exercise, but haven't gotten to the gym to do strength training. I have a question/problem, I'm hoping some of you can give me some insight on. Over the past 5 months I have been eating and exercising the same, but have put…

Hello Ladies - I've MIA for quite some time. I see lot's of new faces on here. I've caught up on the June posts. Here are my goals for June: - Get 15,000 steps on my fitbit each day - Do my back exercises daily - Get back to the Y to do strength training 3 x per week - Get in at least 45 minutes of cardio 6 x per week -…

Hi Ladies - I've been MIA for the past few months from this message board and from MFP. Over the last 2 weeks I have gotten myself back into the habit of logging my food. I've done well on the fitness front as I've managed to hit my 14,000 step goals every day this year and have added weight training to my routine 2x a…

Hello Ladies - happy hump day!!! I was sad yesterday, I lost my fitbit at work. I retraced my steps as I could pinpoint about the time I lost it, but couldn't find it. I even stopped by the security station to see if anyone turned it in. No luck. I had attached a label to the back of it w/my phone number and email address,…

Happy Monday Ladies – It has been a busy few days for me. I had that Pennsylvania Women’s Leadership Conference on Friday up in Philadelphia. It was my first time attending, but thought it was very worthwhile. They had several great speakers, Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker. I even got to get Madeline Albright’s…

Hello Ladies – Rainy Wednesday here. Was able to get myself up early enough to run on the treadmill before work, so had logged 6 miles at 12,000 steps before I was even out the door. Hard to believe tomorrow is Halloween. I was in Lowe’s the other day and they already had Christmas decorations out. The next week and a half…

Happy Monday Ladies – I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. It certainly has turned brisk here. We’ve had frost on the ground a couple of days now. I’m more partial to spring and summer, but do enjoy these cool days. I’ve been doing a better job of logging my food these past few days, just need to keep on top of it…

Ziplining yesterday at Go Ape, it was a fun day and the weather was perfect.

Happy Friday! The weather is back to being sunny, but the temperatures have dropped to the 50’s. We are planning on making homemade pizza’s tonight and tomorrow I am going to make Chicken Taco Soup in the crockpot. I really enjoy using my crockpot and this time of year definitely lends itself to lot’s of stews and soups. I…

Happy Hump Day from Dreary Delaware, Well, we’ve been exceptionally lucky in the weather department, so it is a little bit of a “wake up call” to finally get fall weather. Today is dreary and overcast with temps in the 50’s. We are expected to get our first frost tonight, but on the bright side it is forecasted to be nice…

Happy Monday Ladies – Hope each of you had a lovely weekend. It was fabulous here in Delaware. The air had just the right crispness to it and for the most part it was nice and sunny. I went for a nice long walk yesterday and it was wonderful to be outdoors and see all of the leaves changing collar. Walked a total of 7.5…

Hi Ladies – Time sure does fly. Sorry, I haven’t been able to read all the posts since my last post on page 11. Have been doing well with my fitness goals this week and have re-started logging my foods. My weight has been constant, no gain/no loss. This has been my weight for the last 2 months, so I am either at my set…

Happy Friday – It is rainy and windy here in Delaware with no signs of it easing up anytime soon. I can’t complain as we have been having wonderful weather and now could use the rain. I just hope it doesn’t rain the entire weekend. Last night we attended a Meals on Wheels event, every year they host a sale of cookware…

Hi Ladies – I hope all of you have been enjoying (at least here on the East Coast) lovely weather. I spent the past weekend up in New York for a long weekend with hubby. We took the train up on Thursday and came back Sunday afternoon. Did a lot of walking around, which compensating for some of the rich meals I indulged in.…

Happy Wednesday Ladies!! Barbie – thanks so much for keeping this thread going!!! Well September as a so-so month for me as far as sticking to my MFP goals. Logging all food 80% Sticking to calorie goals 80% Exercise daily 90% 14,000 daily steps 95% Weight gain 2+ My goals for October are the same as above, but want to add…

Happy October!!! Bump for later.

Hello Ladies – Happy Monday and goodbye September!!! I don’t know about all of you, but it is incredible how fast time goes by. Had dinner w/the In-Laws this past weekend and dad mentioned how fast goes by. If it goes by quickly now, I can’t imagine how fast it will seem to speed by 20 years from now!!! Think the bathroom…

Happy Mid-Week Ladies – Wow, the weather has been simply spectacular these past few days. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the rest of fall could be mild days and sunny? We got two gigantic pumpkins at the orchard this past weekend. We’re going to put off carving them for a week or so, so that they don’t spoil before Halloween.…

:smile: Hello Ladies and welcome the 1st day of fall – We have been lucky and have been experiencing some absolutely beautiful weather. I wish it could stay like this for all of fall. Me and hubby plan on going to an orchard / garden tomorrow and pick some vegetables/fruit and also pick up one or two pumpkins to decorate.…

Hello Ladies - I haven't posted in a week and am now woefully behind. I had some sort of stomach bug I got Thursday evening, so didn't log food and had not exercise for 4 days. Ugh!!! Did get my run yesterday. It was very strange, last night I kept getting leg cramps all night long, they were pretty painful and the only…

Bump for later

Hello Lovely Ladies - I miss posting for a few days and find I have about 10 pages of posts to catch up on. Well someone turned the heat back on, but if is only supposed to last until tomorrow and then cool off again for the weekend. For some reason I have a serious case of the sleepy's this week. I have not managed to get…

Happy Friday – So happy it’s Friday. Have a lot planned. We are renovating our master bathroom so need to get countertops ordered and schedule them to come in and cut a template. Also, there is a large craft festival that I would like to visit on Saturday. The weekend is looking very good weather wise, so am also hoping to…

Hello Ladies – The weather has taken a very nice turn here in Delaware. Although fall is still over a month away the days are starting to feel fall-like. I had a good step day yesterday, got over 21,000 on my fitbit. Think I need to set a 25,000 goal as it has been quite some time since I’ve hit that threshold. I got home…
