Good Morning, Today feels like a much better day. Sorry about my rant for yesterday. Things seem much better today. I am going to get to the gym before my first student comes for tutoring this morning. We are meeting a life-long friend who is in town for dinner. I am looking forward to it! Laura--- I can relate to what you…

Good Morning...Friday is here! I am looking forward to a good day. I have had a frustrating interaction with the nurse in my husband's urologist's office---it continues day two! I think he is doing better so that is a good thing but I am not happy. Until there is a big problem they don't want to hear from you and then a…

Hello All, So much goes on this board. Had a rough day today. I didn't get much sleep last night--about two hours. I was worried about my husband--he had a rough night. Tried to get in touch with the doc today and got a crazy nurse who had to speak to him. By this time, he was at work (he missed two weeks so he had to go…

Good Morning, Getting ready to go see a student and then I have time to get to the gym this morning! First day back at the gym and I am looking forward to it. I teach a private yoga class tonight ---it is very gentle...but some nice work and stretching today. I am on a roll today---got my plan ready and looking forward to…

Good Morning, Ready for the day ahead! I start a new Weight Loss Challenge tonight so I am ready to go! Hubby went back to work today! I am ready to start my day of teaching (tutoring and yoga). I am really looking forward to be back in our routine. Have a great day! Sally Lucy..what a weekend. Vertigo is awful. I hope you…

What great discussion on this board. Makes me glad I have insomnia tonight!! The past two weeks has been definitely a curve in my routine. I am trying to read a lot of information about changes to make for my husband (kidney stone and nutritional changes). Tomorrow is the follow up with the doctor. I have my questions…

Hi All... I need to get back into my routine. I had the flu in February...then my husband had problems and was diagnosed with kidney stones (for the third time in 8 years). He had to have surgery last week. He is doing well but I realize that I respond to stress by stopping all the good things I do for myself---cooking…

How did February get ahead of me?? Good to see the posts. I will be back very soon!! Sally

Robin….Great job with your exercise. Sending good thoughts your way about the job interview! Lori…. I read your post about the crock pot and I can relate. I had to get a new crock pot!! M….. I can’t believe what a difference having protein makes in keeping me even. Hope you enjoy your protein shakes!! Owl and…

Hello Everyone, Having a busy couple of days but I am staying focused and that is a good thing. Fridays are usually errand days...it is the one consistent day off that my husband has and I try to schedule my jobs on other days so I have Friday off too. I began the day with a mammogram at 7:30 am and then we had the…

Hello, Busy day today...but I wanted to take some time to visit with you all! Linda C….great progress!! Laura…I hope work gets better. It is so hard to get work done when you need Tech Support. Karen…Hang in there. One thing I love about this board is that many of us have such difficulty in consistently losing. I can…

Good morning, It's a snowy morning here in RI. I have to be at a school about one half hour away and I am not looking forward to the commute---especially at my oil change on Monday, they told me I needed at least two new tires and I said "next month"!! I went to my Weight Loss Challenge group last night and was down 2.4…

Good Evening, What a wonderful weekend of posts. I loved reading through and have many thoughts. I am sorry I didn't keep notes along the way. I feel like I am getting more into my groove and it feels so much better than all the floundering I was feeling. I am really working at getting going to the gym....even if its only…

Hello... The past two days has been busy with my jobs---I did get my exercise in so I am feeling great today! Lots of great information on this board. I have really had to recommit to my plan. I think I spent a lot of time trying to think about ways to change and all the reading just got me more confused. So, I am going…

Good morning, It is wonderful to come and start my day with your posts. What a huge group and so many comments. I am still struggling with getting moving but it is getting better. Your advice is great, Barbie. I need to move a lot more than I am now. I am trying to ban myself from the couch after my quick computer time in…

Good Morning, I woke up this morning and there is a light coating of snow that just looks so pretty. I am feeling better every day with getting back into my good habits! A friend gave me the book The Four Hour Body in November for my birthday and she gave me The Four Hour Chef for Christmas (we met yesterday). There is a…

Good morning, I can't believe how many pages get added to the posts in one day. I will try to check in more often so I can keep up with the responses. My day yesterday was a busy one. My husband is off and we tend to do lots of errands together. He had his yearly physical so that took up a little bit of time. We went for…

Good morning, It is great to get back into the MFP rhythm. Amazing what tracking does for me. I had a chat with my friend about my goals and my questioning which plan to follow or what to do to break this stall. I really need to information because it is not "Just" exercise or calories that make it or break it for me....it…

Hello Friends, I have been among this missing for the past month or so.....and I have been struggling. It is amazing how quickly those bad habits come back. Just getting back into my routine the past couple of days feels so much better. I am looking forward to getting cleaner and clearer with my food and exercise. My god…

Thank you....

Hello All, Just a quick drop in tonight. We were so lucky in my neighborhood in RI--- I didn't lose power or get any damage from Sandy. It is unreal. I can't imagine being in the direct path. I hope everyone is ok. I am looking forward to getting into my routine. I feel all out of sorts with getting ready for the…

Hello All, I hope everyone in Sandy's path stays safe. I am in Rhode Island and the wind is picking up. Last year we were without power because a big tree went down right at the beginning of the storm. Our power was off for a week. This time --my power is still on and I am so grateful. We'll see how long it lasts. I keep…

Hello Friends, It was great to read your posts. My schedule is in the process of changing and I am struggling. I need to get myself back into my exercise. Our weekend was great. It was busy with fun activities and the weather was nice overall. I cooked ahead for the week and have laundry finished so I feel ready for the…

I know that I have been missing for a few days. I have had a crazy couple of weeks. I got a virus and it took about 5 days to shake--not fun. Then I picked up another tutoring job and I may do a teaching job for a friend who just got a job as a principal in the city. I am concerned about really packing my schedule. This…

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I finally feel more like my normal self!! Today was a good organizing day. My husband had to work so I got some cleaning and cooking done. I made a turkey chili, some egg cupcakes and a pear/bleu cheese chicken salad. I feel ready for the week. My schedule tomorrow opened up so it feels…

Hello Everyone! I hope the weekend was great. I am having some computer trouble. I know that I will need to get a new computer but I keep putting it off. I lost my toolbars so I am missing being able to open up other programs easily and going back and forth between pages. It was great to read everyone's post. I am pretty…

Good Morning! It was great to read your posts this morning. I am feeling a little better so I hope today goes well. I don't have any jobs out of the house so I can recoup slowly today. It will be good for me to take some time and organize myself today. I have gotten sloppy with my tracking and I need to find some new…

I hope all is well. I came home sick today ---headache and stomach issues. I had planned to go to an Author's night (Elizabeth Berg, Amada Eyre Ward and Chris Bohjalian) so I was really disappointed. The good news is that I got to give my ticket to a friend so the ticket was used! I heard it was a great night so I am glad…

October is here. I love the October blue sky and the cooler temperatures. I am looking forward to moving more--my knees feel much better. I need to keep the exercises for my knees in my daily goals. I can see how easy it would be to "forget" about them. I am struggling with the specifics of a food program---which to…

I loved reading your posts this morning. Visiting the board while on hold is a great idea, Lin!! I need to remember that but I hope I am never on hold with the IRS (hope everything went well). Barbie......loved the sweater pictures. Such a reminder for all of us to keep on focusing on our goals----for today!! I am…
