Meg- So sorry to hear about your dad. I hope all turns out well. How could they not have known that he was injured? Scary!! Everyone's flowers sound beautiful! I have help off planting any yet because we still have a danger of frost. Has anyone else here gotten friends requests from men? This is the only place I post and I…

any Fitbit users who have synced their fitbit with mfp? Do you log food on mfp? Do you log exercise or is that taken care of by your fitbit? I just synced mine and it increased by calorie goal for today by about 555 calories. I am confused!!:huh: Deb in CNY

drkatiebug- It is a small world! I think we all are happy to receive professional development with all of the changes in the standards. It is an exciting, but stressful time. Next year I will be changing from middle school math to geometry, advanced algebra/trig, and precalc. Big jump, but a welcome change. Deb A in CNY

Hope everyone had a great day! I need to eat supper and then attack a pile of paperwork! Tomorrow is an unexpected conference which means I need sup plans for all 6 classes. It is so much easier to be there myself than to try to explain to someone who probably doesn't "do" math how to teach what needs to be done tomorrow.…

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Mine was very nice. We had Mom, Dad, my sister and her daughter and my daughter come up for dinner. I finished cleaning and baking with half an hour to rest before they got here. The rest of the day was very relaxing. DH cooked and my sister helped me clean up after the meal. I sent…

Good afternoon all! Been too busy to reply to posts, but have been enjoying all of the discussions. I have been frustrated by my lack of improvement, but am making strides in the right direction. I am exercising more regularly although not at a level I know I need to and would enjoy. Unfortunately work is insane and will…

Jane from Colorado- Thanks for your response. I am very frustrated at my lack of ability to follow through with what I know is right, but I will get there. The weather here is getting really nice- warmer and sunny. With it staying light later, I can get outside after work which helps me stay much more active. I am going to…

Help!! I seem to be reverting to old habits. Today was the first time in almost two years that I kept eating even though I was very full. Now I am so uncomfortable that I can't sleep. I truly believed I would never do this again since losing the weight . I have been incredibly stressed at work and have had little time to…

Good morning all! Happy first day of May! Been very busy with work. The stress is starting to affect my progress on this journey. I MUST regain control!! I will be back with goals, but need to get out the door. If I can leave in the next 10 minutes, I can get a 30 to 40 minute walk before meeting my carpool mate. Talk to…

Meg- It does seem that your pedometer isn't counting all of your steps. During my day at work (as a classroom teacher) I average 6000 steps. Today with state testing I had 12640! Mary- Nice job replying to so many!! It does take a lot of time, but is heartwarming!:smile: Barbie- Hope you feel better soon! Robin- I'm glad…

Good evening all! I have been very busy with work for quite a while now but have been reading posts daily. I am doing well with food- exercise is getting better. I am using it as a stress release- which I really need right now.:frown: All the stress is work related- nothing bad, just a very busy time of year. I am also a…

eileen- So sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my dad at 9 and still think of him often, but with fond memories. Glad you got to spend time with her recently. Prayers for peace for you and your family during this difficult time. Deb in CNY

Lucy- I have had days like that! I rarely get a good night's sleep- have tried just about everything- but have learned to deal with it. It does make for a bad day now and then. Hope yours gets better!! Deb in CNY

Good morning ladies! It is raining and cool here today, but I have so much to do inside that it is probably just as well- no urge to go outside and play. janemartin- I am praying that you will find a place to live that is peaceful and just right for your family. I am sorry you are having to deal with the stress. Barbie-…

I'm on standby-DH is assembling some furniture and may need a hand. Barbie- Our vet doesn't board pets, but a friend has a pet store. She also runs a doggie daycare and boards dogs. We are checking into her place. The staff are great with the dogs. We took pictures for them as a fundraiser at Christmas time. Sandy- Hope…

Finally have a few minutes to post. I have been reading all the posts and have been praying for those with struggles and celebrating with those who have had successes. I have the week off, but still have a lot of paperwork to do to prepare for next week. I am also trying to clean and organize the house. I have yet to get…

Will get out for a long, brisk walk today in between preparing for Easter dinner with my family here, grading papers, and writing lesson plans. Am also hoping to finish putting the final…

Good very early morning all!! I am up at 3:30due to DH's snoring.:grumble: :grumble: He uses a CPAP, but for some reason chose to turn it off. Barbie- Happy belated birthday! Sounds like your day was fabulous. Thank you for the advice about living in the moment. I too can spend too much time thinking about what if...…

Good morning all! I have been reading all the posts, but have had no time to reply. I have had four glorious days with my two daughters. I hadn't seen my youngest for almost two years so we had a lot to catch up on. We talked, laughed over our attempts to follow some dance dvds, shared our exercise routines, etc. Great…

DeeDee- Your story made me laugh! It reminded me of all the leg lifts I did with a 1- or 2-year old hanging off my leg when my children were young! My dog and cat also "help" me exercise. The dog I can get to go lay down. The cat not so much.. By the way, my cat weighs more than your dog! Great job on sticking with the…
