  • Good morning! I'm doing great on my running for exercise, but I'm not doing much on strength training or watching what I eat or drinking my water like I should. I guess my body can only handle fixing one thing at a time. Or maybe that's an excuse because I don't have (or won't let myself have) the willpower to actually…

  • Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Welcome to all the new gals! This is a great group of ladies! I completely understand the insensitive neighbor thing. My experience wasn't as bad as she was, but it was my MIL. She didn't have the personality to stay at home, so she seems to think no one should unless…

  • Whoo hoo! I ran/walked to pick up the kids today. I ran a little further. It wasn't much, but what makes me excited is that I finally sat down and calculated out how far I'm running. I ran 870 feet (0.16 mile) at one time today. I run 2 other places on my way there. In all, I ran 1180 feet (0.22 mile) Almost a quarter of a…

  • Good morning! Sorry I've been MIA. I really feel out of the loop since I've been gone for 2 weeks(?). It has been so busy here with different things going on here at the church, dh's surgery, our "puppy" dog needing to be put down, and the kids' activities getting closer to the end of school. Tony is recovering well from…

  • Good morning! Sorry I've been MIA. I really feel out of the loop since I've been gone for 2 weeks(?). Welcome to all the new girls! A little bit about me: I am a part-time sahm to 2 children. My son is 7 1/2 & my daughter is 6 (16 months apart). I was a full-time sahm for a few years, but had to go back to work to help pay…

  • Good morning! Thanks for the well wishes! I'm feeling much better today. I know that at this point, some of my lack of energy is also due to the fact that I haven't exercised in 3 days, and since this is Wednesday, I don't think I'll get to today either. :ohwell: I will tomorrow! It depends on how I feel whether I run/walk…

  • Hello! I had a great Mother's Day except that I ended up getting sick Sunday night. I'm feeling much better now, but my energy level is low. One good thing came out of it. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I lost a pound! :smile: I know it was mostly water weight, but I'm hoping to be able to keep it off and lose even…

  • Lauryn - Yay to the quitting smoking!!!! That's great!! As for my running report: I started running 19 days ago. Out of those 19 days, I've run 11 of them. And even more importantly, out of the past 7 days, I've run 6 of them! Still not running far, but I never thought I'd run as far as I am now. Especially with the bone…

  • Good morning! I'm still here! Busy week for me. Kim - (((hugs))) The arthritis in my toe is bad enough. I can't imagine how the hips would be. I agree with a 2nd opinion, trying some other exercises like pilates and also trying the Glucosamine/Condroitin. You may be able to get back into walking after you rest it and get…

  • Nicole - Good luck on your run Sunday! Trish - Have fun on the TM! I started running 14 days ago. Out of those 14 days, I've run 8 of them! :bigsmile: I'm really feeling it now though. The kids and I started meeting a couple of friends of mine at the park about once or twice a week. One of them has a son who is good…

  • Good morning! Lorna - Sending prayers that they find an easy solution to your health problems! I decided to not officially weigh in this week. TOM is scheduled to come tomorrow, so I look and feel bloated. I really need to drink ALL my water today! Did get in lots of good exercise yesterday. Walked/ran to pick up kids from…

  • As for the decorative items, I have several decorative items I really like but don't have room to display them all, so I keep some in boxes in the garage (plastic tubs work best for me) and display the others. Then after a while, when I decide I want a change, I change them out for the ones in the garage. I also like to…

  • Stacey, is there a kids consignment store near you? A lot of the kids stuff can go there. I do a kids consignment sale here that is twice a year. I get rid of the kids stuff (to make room for more :grumble: ) to people who could use them and make a little money too. Of course, that money goes to new things the kids need.…

  • Forgot to weigh in this morning. I think I've gained a bit though. For some odd reason, I usually gain a bit at the beginning of starting a new exercise routine. I did figure out that I started running on April 17th, and I have actually run 6 out of the 10 days! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Kristen - Thanks for thinking of me.…

  • Good morning! I'm doing a little better. Still missing Isabelle greatly, but I got some closure yesterday when her ashes were returned to us. I also went for another run/walk yesterday! And my legs are feeling better each time! I know this was posted a few weeks, maybe months, ago, but all you runners, what music to you…

  • Hello! I'm still here! It has been extremely crazy around here since last Tuesday. MIL came in on the 13th to help out because Tony had his shoulder surgery on the 14th. So between taking care of him and the children, it's been hectic. He's healing well though, so that is a blessing. And on top of that, last weekend we…

  • Hello! I'm still here. It has been a crazy week for me. MIL came in a week ago Tuesday to help out with the children since Tony had his right shoulder operated on on the 14th. So after she left Friday afternoon, things were crazy around here with me trying to do everything he and I both do, plus help him. Then we had to…

  • Good morning! What a week already! This is 3 weeks in a row that I'm trying to squeeze 5 days of work into 4. The kids went back to school from spring break yesterday. Tony's trying to get our taxes done today since he will be out of commission after tomorrow with his shoulder surgery. MIL comes in today to help out for a…
