  • Hi everyone! We got back yesterday from our cruise and y'all were just WAY too talkative!!! It will take me forever to catch up and I have laundry to do, menus to plan, shopping to do so I think I'll just try to keep up from here. As usual, I ate so much food on the cruise that I gained a bunch of weight. But that's ok. It…
  • Hi ladies! I burned almost 6,000 calories in 2 days and I am SO EXHAUSTED! I will catch up with y'all tomorrow, but I am so stinking proud of myself that I wanted to show you this picture!
  • Well, this is the last you'll hear from me until Monday. I made some really yummy muffins to take along to eat while on the hike. They have sprouted grain wheat, coconut sugar, walnuts and fresh blueberries! I tasted one and told hubby I wanted to start hiking so we could eat them! His cousin arrives from Paris at 11:45…
  • When we flew from Washington D.C. to Brussels, Belgium we had 3 dogs with us. One was a Great Dane, one a Collie/Shepard mix and a Dalmatian. None of them had ever been crated before so we were really worried. We started out buying the crates and taking the tops off and just leaving them around the house. After a few weeks…
  • Well, today was my weigh-in day and I’ve only lost 1 lb. this week. Very sad. But then I remembered I hadn’t checked my measurements since I put them in in February so I decided to try that! So, since Feb I have lost 9.3 inches! WOO HOO! That made me feel much better. I’ve decided not to do the walk or bike today. My…
  • Well, I'm STILL exhausted from my bike ride this morning! I'm torn about whether I should continue. I burned more calories doing the walking/jogging thing and I enjoyed it a LOT more ... but if this is so hard, it means different muscles are being used and that's probably better for me. It wouldn't be so hard if the land…
  • Good morning everyone! It’s another beautiful day here in Norway. We’re supposed to have a high of 15 today which is 59 F. Hubby got out the bikes last night and got them all ready and we went on a short bike ride. MAN! I don’t notice the hills when walking near as much as I do when I’m biking. I think I’ll try to do a…
  • Thanks! It was 52 degrees and 20 mph winds!
  • Okay ... one more picture. This is why my hubby is not grilling our chicken out on the grill. 6 BABIES! :bigsmile: Had a huge scare though ... I opened the lid to take a picture and one almost fell out!! :embarassed:
  • Testing .... this is a picture of me kayaking on Sunday (if it works) Still doing it wrong :grumble:
  • Good afternoon everyone!!! It’s a beautiful day here in Norway again! I did my 4.25 miles in 1 hour 2 minutes so I cut 6 minutes off my time. WOO HOO! Can anyone give me any pointers on how to add a picture? I kept playing around with it yesterday but no luck. :mad: GaJavaGirl – Welcome! :flowerforyou: Lebbiediddle -…
  • UGH! I'm trying to show you a picture and I don't know how to add it. :mad:
  • GrannyA - WELCOME! :flowerforyou: You are the second person that said the ticker is not working right. I sure hope it get fixed before I weigh in on Thursday! :wink: grandmallie - Great job on the consecutive days at the gym!!! Tigress - good luck at the doctor! DeeDee - good morning to you too! Joy in Stavanger, Norway
  • Well, I went on my walk today and somehow turned off the endomondo after only 3 minutes and 38 seconds. :mad: I was so upset and then told myself to get over it! I still got a good workout in and I don't need that to feel the results! It's an absolutely beautiful (but windy) day here in Norway today and it's just put me in…
  • Hi! I'm back from kayaking and I didn't fall in! WOO HOO! I think you can see the pictures here if you want to: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10201112716811125.1073741827.1565244611&type=1. I didn't fall in the water so I'm thrilled. Took me quite a while to get the hang of it, but I'm looking forward to going…
  • I'm not sure if I'll be on tomorrow since we'll be out and about all day - which will probably just wear me out! So I thought I would get caught up now and then not have so much to get through on Monday. Y'all talk a LOT! :wink: Hubby finally made it home and he's about to head to bed. He's been up for 34 hours now!…
  • {{{{{{{{Brooke}}}}}}}}} I'm sorry you are so down. Is there anyway we can help? Marlene - WELCOME! :flowerforyou: Man, you have a lot of goals .... I think I need to rethink mine. I think I made them too easy. (I don't like to fail!) DeeDee - good morning yourself! I hope you had a FANTASTIC walk this morning! Heather -…
  • WOO HOO! Hubby comes home today! And I didn't have to get up at 4 am to scream at the birds. My hubby collects clocks and we have them all over the house. Most of them go off every 15 minutes. I sleep right through them. But the weather is nice and the silly birds are chirping at 4 a.m.! Last night I put a fan in the room…
  • Hubby gets home tomorrow so I'm real excited! I HATE it when he's gone. Which is why I usually travel with him. :frown: Oh well, 13 more days till we go on vacation AGAIN so that's okay! I got a phone call from the base today. I had put our name down on a wish list for outdoor activities and they are giving a kayaking…
  • Good morning everyone! I hope you are having a WONDERFUL day! The sun is shining here in Norway and it's beautiful! I won't be able to get my walk in until later. The Chimney sweep is coming today sometime between 7:20 and 4 and I have to be home. DeeDee - I've already gone through 2 rounds of antibiotics. It seems like it…
  • Well, today I decided to finally try to start exercising again. And it was hard! I just went for a walk and one that I could normally do in an hour (4.27 miles) took 10 minutes longer than normal and I was exhausted when I got back. Coughing, coughing. It's going to take a bit. I thought about waiting but next week we have…
  • I went to the store today and someone that I hadn't seen in a while told me I needed to stop losing weight! Made me feel really good. :heart: :heart: I told her I still have 20 lbs to go to get to my goal weight and she made me feel like I have an eating disorder. :angry: I told her I could still lose 36 pounds and be in…
  • Another good WI day for me - down another pound. :heart: MIL called last night. She was upset that hubby hadn't called her yesterday to let her know that he made it to Virginia safely. I told her he traveled for 23 1/2 hours to get there. Once there he had to rent a car, find the hotel (found the wrong hotel and ended up…
  • Well, I weighed today and it wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be!!! I thought for sure I had gained some weight but ended up losing 1.5 pounds. I'm still farther away from my goal weight than I wanted to be at this point, but I'm not getting any closer to where I was so I'll take it. cityjaneLondo, that was such a…
  • Hi everyone! I'm back! Finally. I was sick, sick, sick. Doctor actually ended up giving me morphine because I couldn't stop coughing. UGH! OK, hubby left again today and will be back home on Saturday. I told him I would be extremely lazy and just concentrate on getting well before our cruise. I'm running out of time! I…
  • Well, it is 4:32 a.m. here and I still haven't been able to sleep. :grumble: I'm not sure if it's because I took a nap at 3 and didn't wake up until 7:30 p.m. :angry: or if it's because it will be the first time I've slept alone for a night without hubby here :brokenheart: , or because it looks like it is daylight here…
  • Good morning! Hubby and MIL left at 4:30 this morning. After dropping them off at the airport, I went right back to bed. I plan on spending at least the weekend, in my p.j.'s on the couch, taking lots of drugs, catching up on the shows that I missed because MIL was watching QVC on the TV while she was here. I'm going to be…
  • Good morning y'all. I spent most of yesterday sleeping and am still very tired today. Hubby said I wasn't coughing near as much last night so that must be a good thing. He was pretty disgusted one time yesterday. Woke me up because he couldn't find my plastic gloves. His mom went to the bathroom in the actual toilet and he…
  • Good morning everyone. Feel a little better today but still plan on doing NOTHING today. It's a holiday here so hubby is home today and he is taking care of me. Chat tomorrow! Joy
