Angie..thanks for your encouragement and support..it helps me feel better. I'm just in this funk mode right now. For so many years this has been a pattern for me and I don't know how to shake it. One day it just disappears. I want to be one of them people who exercises every day with no effort, no excuses. that it will…

I am in the process of picking up, digging up the smaller version of river rock...like quarter size. it covers an…

Yesterday on my cross country bus trip I learned that my niece's best friend (freshman) was 3 seconds slower than last year's State Champ! Cool! My BFF called me and invited me to go with her to pick up a rug she had purchased on Craigslist, then out for breakfast. Was soo good to see her. She used to be a size 0 and now…

I have 4 good days then 6 bad....1 good then 5 bad. Story of my LIFE! Just get tired of never getting to where I know I should be...can be. Don't want a weight problem. Look at my non-bio siblings and they eat it all, JUNK, even drink and smoke. and they are thinner than rails. I eat healthier than they do, exercise waaay…

I really don't like candy, but **it** IS one of those things once I start, it is hard to stop. ds brought a bag of Starbursts out to the kitchen. cherry and strawberry are my favorites. a serving size is 8 pieces, I had a good 18-20. after my pm…

I'm from the Midwest/US and my dh family has a cabin near Ear Falls, Ontario. I've gone a few times in the summer, but his family has owned this cabin over 50 yrs. Lots of wildlife....moose, bald eagles, black bear....Pine trees EVERYWHERE, love it! I think Calgary and Vancouver would be beautiful (winter Olympics!)..Also,…

Hey Angie...I think you are doing great! you've been pretty consistent with exercise...that's where I want to be (and STAY!). I don't really care for joggin either..but I think it really helps with my belly fat. I completed the C25K program last summer and basically just stopped (bad idea). I would LOVE to get to a point…

went for a 3 mile walk. gonna stretch here soon. I'm in the early stages of a cold sore (basically herpes 1) breaking out on my chin from the sun Saturday at the air show. itchy, red, and blistering will be next. I usually feel sick during all this...headache, glands in neck tender. gets even uglier when it is crusty,…

well, I had a good day eating and exercising. I know the next few days my muscles will be sore, but if I keep at it, should be good by Friday. just gotta keep with it. it's definitely hard to watch tv and see all the devastation from H Irene. prayers for all those affected...

Here's to a happy and healthy week team. Trying to focus on getting back to a healthier me. I have to agree with Scott, I spend too much time on the internet. Feels like I am starting over...at the very beginning here. I mean, I have lost all muscle tone, cardiovascular capacity and endurance pretty much at zero. Noticing…

evenin'... well the air show was awesome!! Scott was more interested than I...he was an airline fuel tech in the late 80's at the Airport in Cedar Rapids. To this day he can name almost any plane....name, #, etc by site. impresses me. he chatted with some Marines and then a pilot of a plane who he knew the previous owner.…
