Hello ladies!! Had an absolutely fabulous day on the water today!! We went back up to the Adirondacks to kayak on my favorite lake. We had a large group (19) and I got to see some friends that I haven't seen in a long time. We saw loons, herons, and pitcher plants.Beautiful scenery, great companionship, and a good workout.…

Good morning ladies!! Once again, I am getting into the habit of reading all posts but not responding. I seem to be having a hard time focusing on one thing long enough to formulate responses. My mind is racing in all directions as I try to wrap my head around teaching all new upper level courses in September. I am feeling…

Good evening ladies! Hope everyone had a great day. I was busy with housework, etc... Yesterday was a fantastic day on the water in our kayaks. It was a little more challenging than most of our paddles due to stronger winds that caused higher waves. It felt great to be able to handle it with no trouble. Must be getting…

Good morning ladies!! Today's weather sounds like the perfect summer day for me!! Mid 70's, mostly sunny. We will be spending most of it with friends in kayaks on a beautiful lake in the Adirondack mountains. It doesn't get any better than this!! Michele- Glad there wasn't more damage. My SIL lost everything in their…

Hello ladies!! I just got back from visiting with two of my sisters for a long weekend. It was great to laugh, play, and remember the past. We all had a great time and would have loved to extend the visit, but each of us had other obligations to return to. We are going to try to get together at least once more this summer.…

Good evening ladies!! Can I just tell you how much I live summer vacation? I really need to retire. Today we decided to kayak the lake my DH is on when he teaches kayaking for LL Bean. I had not paddled that one yet. It was a perfect day for it. Not too hot, a slight breeze, very little waves, and almost no power boat…

Good morning ladies!! The heat has finally broken here! It was a pleasant night for sleeping. The first in weeks!! Amanda- I am so glad to hear you are out of the hospital and doing better! Very exciting news about your DD!! I will keep her in my prayers. Katla- Enjoy your visit. Glad your DH is feeling better. Congrats to…

Katla- I was worried about bugs in the swamp, but didn't have any problem. There was a breeze which I am sure helped. I do always carry bug spray just in case. I prefer to kayak on the lakes north of us in the Adirondack mountains, but the group likes a variety so we include swamps and rivers. Next week we will be up north…

I'm in for the low-impact version.Thanks for the link. I was looking for a way to modify them!

Good morning ladies!! Another very hot day here. It is supposed to cool off on Saturday. DH and I are melting, sleep has been impacted. We are both working hard at staying pleasant!! So far we have been successful. We have spent one day at the mall for the air conditioning and spent yesterday on the water in our kayaks.…

Good evening ladies! Another hot and humid day here. I guess we are going to stay this way until Saturday!! Don't like the heat at all!! Got up and walked for about 1 and 1/2 hours this morning. I went a little farther than usual to make up for the fact that I didn't feel like I was walking as fast as usual because of the…

Good morning ladies!! Meg- The outdoor concerts sound great. I have been to a few, but not around here. I wish we had them here. I love live music. Enjoy them for me!! DeeDee- Enjoy your time as queen! It is so nice to be able to spend time with friends. Hope it helps you feel more like yourself. Love the mug and tiara!!…

Good evening all! No time to reply tonight. We have been very busy with our "mini" kitchen remodel. I also had a hair appointment today that took forever! I really feel bad for those in our town who were affected by the flooding. The girl who does my hair has been flooded out of her house and is living in a hotel room with…

Good morning Vit. F friends! Amanda- Glad you are following the doctor's advice and that your DH and DD are both helping out with your dad. Take care of yourself!! Prayers and hugs are coming your way.:flowerforyou: DeeDee- I feel the same way about the scales.:grumble: My weight has slowly crept up, but fluctuates wildly…

The bluegrass music festival sounds great! My DH would love it! DeeDee-Hope you appointment goes well. Amanda- Good to hear from you.…

Good evening Vit. F friends! It is steamy, hot and humid here! Hoping it cools down soon or I may just melt! This is NOT my favorite weather. Just got back from 4 wonderful days camping with my stepson, his wife, and two children. The camp grounds were beautiful, kayaking was great, and company was awesome!! They are doing…

Good afternoon ladies! We are getting ready to leave for a 4 day camping trip, so not much time to post. Very early this morning I got a call from my DD letting me know that their refrigerator died. They can't afford to replace it, so my DH and I came up with a plan. We will get the refrigerator we have been thinking about…

Love the idea of good news Tuesday! I guess mine would be that after gaining a couple of pounds on vacation, I got right back to healthy eating, exercising, and logging as soon as I got back home. I am not beating myself up over the few slips I had with my eating while gone. Life happens and what I do for a few days will…
-
Amanda- Hope surgery goes well and recovery is quick! DeeDee- I too have been struggling to get the scales to move in the right direction. I actually gained a few pounds well on vacation, but have a plan to fix that real quick!! I am adding weights to try to get the scale to cooperate. Good luck to you. Molly- Glad to hear…

Returned from Maine vacation relaxed and happy. While I was gone, there was a flood in my area. We live up on a hill and are fine, but there were about 150 homes flooded. Many have not yet been allowed back in to assess the damage. My prayers are with all of those affected. So many posts since I was gone!! Didn't have…

Just a quick post to mark my spot. Just got back from vacation in Maine with my sisters and am very relaxed and sleepy! Will be back tomorrow to try to catch up. Only got to page one!! Deb A from CNY

jb- So sorry about the report. My prayers are with you and your family. Robin- We had a dog that always dug holes to help him stay cool. He was the smartest dog I have ever encountered! We have so many fond memories of his antics and still miss him many years after we lost him. I am praying for your interview to go well…

Bump for later.

Good morning ladies! Although I have not posted for some time, I do read all of the posts twice daily. I am going through some major stress at work and have no energy left to compose the responses that I would love to make. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. NSV- Not resorting to stress eating and have actually lost a…

Thank you again, Barbie:flowerforyou: Will be back tomorrow with goals for June Deb A in CNY

Michelle- I would love the pool, but DH doesn't want the work involved. I have been trying to convince him for about 15 years and have made no progress. We would have a much shorter time period during which we could use the pool, so in a way he is right. What I would really love is an indoor lap pool or a "pool/spa" that…

kathy- Congrats on the shopping trip! I remember the first time I was able to do that- it felt great!! A sales clerk actually asked if she could help me find something and then told me I was in the wrong department. I had automatically gone to the plus sizes as that is what I had worn for years. I have Asics and love them.…

Joy- My DH and I started kayaking 2 years ago. We love it and can't get enough time on the water!! It is so relaxing to be out on the water and it burns a lot of calories!! We go at least twice a week weather permitting. At the end of last summer we bought a camper so that we can go up north to stay for a few days each…

Fabulous photos! Very motivating to see all of the successes!! I am healthier now than at any other time in my life. It is never too late and it IS possible!!
