hi Kay! looks like that is 2 of us just jumping in to catch up :) Hope all is well with you.:smile:

Heather, you would make a son proud :bigsmile:

Good Morning ladies! I have been trying to write this up in bits and pieces as my little grandson is keeping me company today. He's such a joy and a good little snuggler too. It's in the 40's here; big change from yesterday but no snow. BJ, I am just not ready for snow or Christmas. Snow is pretty but it sure makes a mess…

WooHoo! got my 50 minutes of exercise in this evening! :bigsmile:

hello, hello this Veteran's day is just about to wind down into an evening of Dancing with the Stars. It's been a beautiful day with lots of sunshine but that's going to change for us tomorrow. I'm thinking I am going to have to do some kind of dance routine with the stars tonight to get in some exercise. I really don't…

@AnnCarolOne that surgery is a shock; to your body and your lifestyle - I know it changed mine in '07. Do take good care of yourself and let others wait on you for awhile; in the long run it is worth it. wow, @Michele I've never had any trouble with TX Roadhouse accommodating my requests but then I am usually already there…

Remember the song ♫ I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in ♫ well, that could be applied to all the conditions we deal with here but praise the good Lord it isn't anything like that as the fellow in the song. Not sure why that line popped into my mind when I came over here to check in but it did. It's…

I ride a stationary bike in the gym; not as adventurous as outdoors which I have enjoyed many times before but for now I am indoors and it strengthens my legs.

No regrets today; I enjoyed every bite. :happy:

Checking in with October results: goal was to do 3 days of activity per week with 30 minutes or more. I have 14 days with 30 minutes or more. So for November I am going to go for 3 days of activity with 50 minutes or more which for November I am looking for 12 days for the 4 weeks. With the holidays coming up I really hope…

Grandson break! on Wednesdays I get my weight-lifting in with him. He weighs around 20 lbs now and I feel it but what a joy. Keeping this brief as I need to eat before he wakes up. I read the posts and want to wish all a good day on the scales. @Meg, I turned off that darn daily counter as I found it more annoying than…

Suzy Beautiful day for zipling! looks like you had a great time. Gail really good photo and how fun! a meetup with MFP friends. Michele, grandbaby #8 is due the first of March and a girl! she will be in Denver so I won't see her as much as I get to see #7. Time to do some household chores; I'm only grateful for the…

Popping to say that I feel like grandmallie - not having a good food day - not overeating so much yet just not making good choices and I am soon to be on my way to my sister's for some dinner and a housewarming...Lord help us all! Thank goodness I did take a walk. :smile: Meg, I have found that when that same child turns…

Took a late night stroll with DH and you can imagine my delight to come back only to find that I am still caught up with this thread - at least from the point I last posted :bigsmile: It's been a beautiful fall day in Plano and wonderful to be outside in it. hi jane, cookies & a rest - it's a great life! HaPpY 1st Birthday…

grandmallie - glad you are feeling better today! heather - never thought about happiness as a science; as for me it's all about attitude. Congratulations on your loss! ♥ those loses. Your description of the view outside of you window is so visual - creates a beautiful image. barbie- new walking shoes are always a treat!…

Michele, it was exhilarating to go down the slide simply because I haven't done that in years. I still do swings. Pat (Phoo in AZ) I was quite grateful there wasn't anyone but the good Lord watching me much less a picture :laugh: Seems like today's subject is around clothes and personal style. Like most of you comfort is…

Thanks Meg, it was a great way to handle adding another year :bigsmile: and a huge congrats to you on your weight loss! :flowerforyou: don't get in too big of a hurry to find your routine cause if you are like me when the clocks fall back so will I...:laugh: I can't help you much with the blood sugar as that is so…

Popping in to say thus far I am keeping up with activity goals for the month. Today I stopped in the park to play in the playground and oh yes, I did slide down that slide. Sometimes it is good to not act our age. I actually got the idea to play from a blog here on MFP. It was listing exercises you can do on the…

TTYL (bump) :smile:

Looks like "pre-logging" is more popular than I was aware of. I found several threads; one is in the Chit Chat. I also read some about it in the technical support forum. I came across one MFP'r who plans her meals on a monthly basis...oh my goodness, I am doing good to do one day at a time!

Sure! go to the date that you would like to log on and log exercise under that date; same as you can do for food should you need to do advance planning.

TGIF!!! there's just something abut Fridays that make them special; it used to be paychecks...lol.:laugh: Tina, wow, you are surrounded by lakes in Florida, awesome...no alligators! ::bigsmile: I lived in Key West for a little less than a year back in the 70"s - Navy wife. We were there when they closed the Naval base.…

They are good! but if I have a chocolate craving I'm gonna eat chocolate and adjust my day for it.

You did yourself proud...an awesome accomplishment.!

Sometimes you just have to :laugh: !

GOOD Morning!!! It's going to be another gorgeous day in Dallas and I am loving the Autumn temps! With this runaway thread I am starting with the day and moving on... Grandmalle, I sure hope the Florida sunshine brightens your spirits and brings healing for your heel. You have already had a full day and still going to…

oh happy days, I did get my activity/exercise in for the first partial week of October; now to keep the momentum going! LF, you can adjust your calorie intake if you feel 1,200 is too low. Only 1 iron supplement that I have taken and tolerated well came from foodforce. As for the alopecia I really don't know much about…

Joyce, that is quite a treasure you created for your daughter and her children. I remember going through all the pictures with my two sons as they were growing up but we never made a picture book. Today you can photo books printed for you readily but I doubt they would be the gem you created.:bigsmile:

oh dear, so many responses and so little time. I don't think I will ever be able to keep up with this thread until I retire and I am not planning on doing that for several years. I read through many of the posts but didn't make any notes. A few I can recall... grandmallie, keeping you and DH in my thoughts and prayers too;…

♫ Happy Birthday Heather ♫ looks like Rome agrees with you :bigsmile: Laura, congrats on the sale of your home and the start of new chapter in life :flowerforyou: Linda, I do say so myself - it takes a lot to keep up with all the activity on this thread. :bigsmile: Pat (Phoo in AZ) and Katla in Orgeon I was recently told…
