Hey everyone! You are all doing SO well! Way to go! I have been busy busy busy! Got to the gym Saturday with a friend. Had choir practice on Sunday night and after church I had an older lady that gets very lonely over for a little lunch. Monday had to take my son to puppet troupe at the church and run up to the scout store…

Did my weigh in and the scale did not budge this week. But considering that I blew it with really bad food one night and my monthly visit should show any day now....I am actually happy with the scale not moving! It did not go UP! So if I have any water weight gain right now the scale is not showing it, which means, I…

Awww...thank you gals! I don't think I do as much as I could though so I'm probably not as good a daughter as you may think. And yes she is proud of me BUT...shhhhh don't tell my sisters that! lol Glad your hip is a little bit better. I understand about the cold thing...trust me! It is finally up to 4 right now! At least…

Marie, They are forcasting with the windchill it could get down to negative 20 tonight! Brrrr...glad I have my heating pad to sleep with! lol I added a picture of my mom to my profie if anyone wants to see what she looks like. Her name is Helen Marie Louise, just Helen is what she goes by. That picture was taken last year…

I sooooo blew it tonight! The roads are so snowy and ice covered that I decided I wasn't going to drive another 15 miles, one way, to get to the gym and pick up mom's prescription. Unfortunately when I got home from work, mom said she didn't have any of that pill left for tomorrow...so I HAD to go! Well I knew it was going…

Hi Amy! Well I would say that you probably just took a day or two for all of those calories to take hold! AND I would say that a little 4 lb gain on vacation isn't so bad! Sodium packed foods...I bet it goes away as fast as it came on! Hang in there!

Jeni...I'm sorry. Even a bad job is at least a job but you have a good attitude about it! Where one door closes there is always a window that opens! Stay strong...we are here for you!

Good Windy morning to you all! The wind is swirling the snow on the ground all over the place and it is bitter cold! I can't wait until things warm up a bit so I can go outside and get some fresh air without my nostrils freezing shut! lol I remember last year, mid January we had an unusual warm spell and I was actually in…
-
I HURT! lol Most of my aches are from the shred but I also went to the gym and walked 1 miles at 2 incline in only 17 min AND 3 miles on the bike at 7% resistance SOOOOO am I surprised I hurt...not really! But it does tell me that I have not been working out the way I used to because I used to a LOT more than that and…
-
OMG....I did the 30 day shred this morning, level one, and it kicked my rear! That just proves to me how much I have let my health go since mid October. When I bought the shred video and did it the first time, it was so easy and I thought, this can not be helping me as a good work out. I have let things go for so long that…

Ivy, did you ever give in to the potatoe chip craving?:wink:

Good morning everyone! Welcome to any new folks I may have missed saying hello to! Ivy...that is a lot of steps girl! You must have the tightest backside around! Marie....haven't seen you for a few days, hope you are ok! Have you tried making the print bigger on the screen? Jeni, I LOVE my Levi low rise 545's! They are my…

O.k. I tried the copy and paste and it did not work. Here is another solution for you Marie. Hold down your CTRL key and the + Key at the same time and it will zoom in on your page which will make everything bigger. Hope that will help you.

Happy New Year's Eve to all! Be safe, be smart and have fun! I will be celebrating with a good book in bed tonight! Sounds lovely to me! Too old for that staying up until midnight stuff! :laugh: Marie, I don't know if it will help with seeing the monitor but if you can, get a magnifing lamp. You can usually get them at…

Hey all! Mom just had the sniffles for a few days and is well. I am still on the stuffy side. Go figure a 87 yr old woman can recover faster than I can! lol I have not gone to any of the group meeting yet because there were none scheduled until mid Jan. However, I found my very first friend ever (since I was 8) on facebook…

Songbyrd, It is hard no matter. I think everyone knows now so I don't have to say anything. The bad part is that when I would tell people what happened, I sugar coated it just in case he wanted to get back together, that way they wouldn't think badly of him. So dillusional! Blombie, I am so sorry. Hang in there and don't…

Kelly, I am right there with you even with the time frame. The holidays were misserable and I have gained 13 lbs since October 5th when things started going down hill. November 19th is when it ended and I am still crying myself to sleep on some nights. It hurts and I am so sorry you are going through this. If you ever need…

Good morning! Hope everyone is well! I love the news feed! Very fun! Have a good day all!

Ivy, good for you for standing up for your sister! My brother has always made negative comments about my appearance and it is just horrible! Shame on them and horray for you! Your little poem was cute! And how nice to not be able to eat as much! That is a good thing! Again, Merry Christmas to all!
-
Merry Christmas! Joy to the world the Lord is born!!! Happy Birthday Jesus! I hope you all enjoy your day and have many lasting memories when it is over! Diana

Thank you both for your thoughtfulness. Marie, she does stay by herself during the day while I am at work and if I have to go somewhere she is o.k. as well. Most of the time if I go out in the evening my son is here so they keep an eye on each other. I think that will all be changing in the next year for her though. Her…

Marie, I am glad you got it figured out. No, my mom doesn't use the computer. She has parkinsons, and macular degeneration so she can't see very well and she shakes pretty badly. When I got home tonight, she hasn't been feeling very well. I think she is coming down with a cold so I am going to have to watch her very…

Marie, I found this on the web and it should help. If it seems to confusing, I can probably help you. Diet Percentages: Part 1 Commonly, when you see diet plans laid out, the intake of the various macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat) is presented in terms of percentages of total caloric intake. So you might see a…

Ivy, I would do my exercise video's but there is only one tv and place in the house to do them and that is in the living room. My 87 yr old mother sits and watches tv all evening long. I ask her occasionally if I can use the tv and room but in the evening she is usually tired and not wanting to move much until 9pm when she…

Got on the scale this morning....that was a jolt back into reality! My little pity party and lack of resolve has cost me 10 lbs! That is it! I will not let this go any farther! Time to get back to doing the job at hand and that is to get healthy, not just lose weight although that is a nice perk. I went to the gym last…

Step away from the batter! lol I was not that good and I felt toxic all day on Friday. Don't do it IVY.....step away! lol I want to thank you again for telling me about that site. I have joined a book club, a movie club and a over 40's social club. This is exactly what I need to re-join the human race. No more dating and…

Sunny here too! 51 degrees as I speak! That is the warmest it has been for a month. I even went to church without a coat this morning! Love days like this! Tonight is the kids Christmas program and after that we are doing a fellowship gathering. Well you know what that means, lots of really yummy food! I am proud of myself…
-
Ivy! Thank you so much for the website info. I checked it out and there are two great groups I am going to join! Maybe this will help me shake the blues a little too! Thank you thank you thank you!

More problems, mostly with my oldest son and the fact that Christmas is coming without both kids. I can't keep my hands off the darn sweets at work and I know it is my frame of mind that is doing it. Somehow I have got to get out of this stinking thinking I have going on. Maybe having a break from both kids will give me a…

Ivy, Milk is naturally sweet. The less 'skim' the milk, the less sugar and the higher the fat content. Best thing for diabetics, believe it or not is real whipping cream. I am not diabetic but my dad was and had to take four insulin shots per day because it was pretty severe. You can make 'ice cream' out of whipping cream…
