Thrift stores, consignment shops, and label shoppers- the one here I like is Peter Harris. I got great dress pants for work for $7. Only wore them for three weeks before needing a smaller size. Since I don't have to go in to work for the summer, I am just making do with a few outfits. By fall I should be at my goal weight.…

Spent the day with my daughter shopping- not my idea of fun, but we both had things we needed to pick up. We had lunch out and I ate more than I would like, but was able to stay within my calorie count. Just not as many veggies and fruit as I like. I started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred today. I find any kind of jumping…

swkitterill- I love to quilt, but never seem to find the time. Thought that the rag quilt may be faster. I teach and never seem to have much down time during the school year, so thought I might be able to finish this one quickly this summer. It's a great idea to get the eating down before returning to work. I found that…

Hi from HOT CNY! It has been too hot to do too much actual exercise today, but I did stay off the couch! My sister came out and we both worked on quilts all day. Mine is cut out and ready to sew. May do some more tonight. We ate very healthy and drank lots of water. I will go for a 2 mile walk in a little bit. The breeze…

Jeannie- So sorry for your loss. Got up and went to the gym first thing this morning before life could get in the way. Felt good and seems to be helping me to feel more energetic even hours later. I just finished making a quinoa salad for supper.It looks good- can't wait to try it. I'm not much of a cook, but am looking…

Happy 4th! It is another hot day- guess it will be hot into next week. Not my favorite weather, but am trying to find ways to keep moving through the heat. We are headed to the beach and more kayaking. Could do this everyday! To all of the new members- This group is very supportive and motivating. I have gotten great ideas…

We had a great day for kayaking. Our "guide" missed a turn and got us to paddle an extra 2 miles for a total of 10. I got very tired, but enjoyed every minute! After kayaking, we went to our local beach to spend time with the grandkids at their campsite. Tomorrow we are going back with our kayaks to give them a chance to…

Good morning all! It is a beautiful, sunny day here in central NY. We are headed north for a day of kayaking with some friends. Afterwards, we will be going to a local beach to spend the evening with grandchildren at their campsite. Last week while on vacation I wasn't as careful as usual with my eating. I did get a lot of…

I did okay with my goals for June, but hope to do better in July. My goals for July are: to be able to run for a full 30 minutes weight training 3 times each week find new ways to incorporate "exercise" into my regular routine I seem to have a handle on food and am drinking lots of water. I have lost 70 pounds so far, but…

I too am a teacher off for the summer. I am also trying to get a good routine in place before September. I lost 70 pounds since Sept. 1st, but mostly through diet. I need to step up the exercise to lose a little more and then keep it off for life! It is such a challenge to keep exercising once school starts in the fall.I…

Good morning all! It is a beautiful, sunny day here for my first day of summer vacation. The last two weeks were incredibly busy and I have not met all of my goals. Today will be a fresh start! I have downloaded the couch to 5k running program to my i-pod. It is time to get serious about preparing for a 5k in August. I…

Michele- You are such an inspiration! Love both the amount and the variety of exercise you get. Your posts are very encouraging! I have lost 70 pounds since last Aug. 30th. I finally have the food issues figured out, but need to work on the exercise piece. Before I gained and lost the weight, I was working with a personal…

Michele, I hand quilt, but haven't done much for the last 10 years or so.I am looking forward to retirement in a few years and want to reconnect with old hobbies as well as add new ones. This group is great!You all make me more motivated to get in all of the exercise I can.
