Good morning everyone! Been a busy week. Got to the gym last night and had a great workout! 1.5 miles on the treadmil, 3 miles on the bike, 1 mile on the eliptical. I was going to do some weight training but my oldest son called and I can't call him back so I took his call and by the time I was done talking, I was done…

Ivy, these cookies are very crumbly, you have to be a little careful when you pick them up so I don't know how good they would be for finger food at a Christmas fellowship. You gave me an idea though....you could make these cookies and use them as a crust for a cream pie! Use real whipping cream, sugar substitute, eggs,…

Had our Christmas program at church today. That was fun. Jeni, I know what you mean about being so busy. Hope things level out for you just a bit. Marie, I am going to try that recipe! Think I will add the pumkin and the walnuts both! lol Do you know what the nutritional value of this is? Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup peanut…

It is warmer here today.... it is up to 26 right now. Can't imagine it getting much warmer than that today but on Sunday it is supposed to get up into the mid 40's so maybe I will finally be able to get into the crawl space to get the Christmas stuff out. All is well here....not working out like I should but it seems like…

Good evening everyone! Torado Ivy? Holy Moly! Glad you are alright! We woke up to a deepfreeze this morning....-11 and windchill was -31!!! My car almost didn't start and the defroster made a terrible sound when I turned it on. But we made it to school and work. I had a fun day at work today. The ranch I work for goes…

OK if you look at my profile pic's you will see a pic of my Slick, the Norweigen Dwarf or as we lovingly called him, Slickerdoodle!

I have two cats and a dog. They have their plus' and minus'. Two of them are my mothers and she let them get into some really bad habits and are VERY messy! So I do love animals...just no so fond of the ones I have right now. I had a pet dwarf bunny that was litter trained. He ran all over the house, begged for food, met…

I just read a GREAT Quote - 'It isn't about how quickly you win the race, just that you cross the finish line at your own pace.' Snail pace for me thank you! Loved that and thought I would share since it goes along with our conversation today.

I completely understand the cold thing...and the nice day too. The day after Thanksgiving it was 71 deg here! Now -10! Makes it easy to sit on ones tooshy! lol Stay warm and safe!

Good morning all! Welcome to all newcomers! So far today, I am doing well. I went to the store yesterday (in a blizzard) and equiped myself for the week at work and at home. I also thought about something Marie said a few days back, and that was 'take it one day at a time' . That was good advice but I am going to break it…

Good morning everyone. It has been a tough week emotionally until this morning. For some reason things became very clear last night and today....I am actually ok and I am going to be ok. I have my joy back I think. Now I really need to start focusing on exercising more. I sit all day at work and then get home and cook…

Welcome Chipper! Beach, I live in Colorado, by Greeley to be specific and yes...it was COLD! The winters really arn't that bad here but it can get bitter cold. What do you do that you fly so much? Hope all had a great day!
-
Good morning everyone! I managed to get up early enough to do my kickboxing video...wow that things does kick your rear! 50 min of intense non-stop fast movement. It burns a lot of calories too Jeni. Marie, it that your new wig? You look so pretty! Thanks for the welcome and hello Beach! Well hope we all have a successful…

Awsome job Marie! You did much better than I did! I had just a little of everything...including some pumpkin pie! lol But that is o.k. I suppose. I just need to get back on track now. I am having a hard time getting motivated. This whole breakup thing has knocked the wind right out of my sails and even though I try to be…

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Hope you all have a day filled with love, friendship, thanks and yummy healthy food!:flowerforyou:

Good morning! Marie...yes you are doing good! I am impressed just with the fact you know your way around the computer! ((HUGS)) Dieting and getting more exercise is fantastic! You go girl!!!!! Jeni...YAAAA on the job! So happy for you! I did EXCELLENT on my eating yesterday and so far so good today! I had planned on…
-
Good morning everyone! Jen I hope your job is going well! Welcome Debbie! Marie, I am glad your eating program is working so well for you. Sorry I did not post all weekend. It was a rather sad one for me. Did a lot of running around, a lot of crying, a lot of soul searching. I did get to the gym though so that was good.…

Thanks Cali and Jen. It has been a very long day so far. Got my son off to school, mom to the dr by 8:30, then had to take her to get blood drawn, then her hair apt. and while she was getting that done I went to the fabric store and got her quilting stuff, still had time so I went and rummaged around in the thrift store,…
-
Well another day. First day of my new single life...again! I am thankful today will be such a busy day, it will keep my mind occupied. It was a rough night with lots of tissue and tylenol. I still haven't eaten but I am going to force something down here in just a little bit. Tonight I am going to the gym and I think I…
-
Thanks again Marie. I am feeling very lied to right now and not very positive about the male population as a whole! Think I will just forget about them for a while and concentrate on my son and myself! God has a plan for me and I have to trust that he will bring me through this better than I was! I have to hold onto my…

Thank you Marie. Relationship issues. I am no longer in one with a man that two months ago had discussed us getting married on Thanksgiving, we never planned it but that was the talk. He started getting weird at the begining of November and now nothing! It is gone...over. I am nursing a broken heart! I will not turn to…
-
I found you all! Thanks Marie! I had two pieces of whole wheat/whole grain/low carb sara lee bread toasted with a little butter for breakfast. A handful of almonds for a snack and then life as I knew it came crashing in on me and I have not eaten another thing. My stomach is so upset and I have the worst headache....I…

I agree. You can be tough and motivating with out being mean and dropping the 'F' bomb every other word. It is pretty bad when you can't watch a weight loss show with your kids because they curse.
-
Got up early this morning and did my kickboxing. That felt great! I just have to push through being tired and not wanting to get up so early because once I am up and done with my workout, I feel so much better. The livingroom is still a mess but I just moved everything out of the way and went for it. I just can not afford…
-
Maddiebabe, you could still go dress shopping. Buy one that fits and that can be altered with no problem. It could be a great motivation! I even have known people to get a dress size smaller for motivation but I think that is way too risky because you can't alter it bigger. Did you set the wedding date? Well my living room…

Morning all! I did not get a chance to do my workout all weekend. I was busy moving my oldest son back home and rearranging furniture so I still got a lot of exercise and strength training! lol My living room is full of boxes and until I can clear that back out, I wont be able to do my workout. The plan is to get the taken…
-
Wow! Maddiebabe....you got a LOT of exercise in today! My goodness! Good job! I am going to do my kickboxing and the shred tomorrow in the morning. I want to get it out of the way early so I can get some cleaning done and then get ready for my date tomorrow night! Woohoo! lol Jovi...sounds like you are doing fine to me!…
-
Jenn- Could be anything really but did you take measurements? I did read once that most women lose the most weight in the second half of their cycle but most of us don't see it until after TOM leaves. So there is still hope. I have been keeping an eye on this theory for the last several months and have seen that I will…
-
I have to do the 'girl' ones and I CAN NOT get through the entire time! Until I can do level one with no modifications or stopping....I think I am staying at level one. I never realized how weak I am! lol
-
Wonderful Joviall! I am glad to hear it has worked well for you. Out of curiosity, how are you doing with the pushups? I don't know if I will ever be able to do those!
