Thanks, Barbie, for keeping the thread going! My goals for June are: At least 10,000 steps daily (working my way back up after being a sloth for awhile) Add more fresh vegetables to my diet Drink 8 glasses of water daily Last goal is to maintain all of the above while I'm traveling for a week at the end of the month. We…

Evening, all! Sounds like you've all had a busy weekend, as have I. Unfortunately, I had a lot of work to do so spent much of the weekend on my laptop. I did take some breaks and got a little exercise in AND had a pretty good weekend, food-wise. All in all, a pretty good weekend! I'm still reading the May thread, so that I…

Hello, all! I have been away from this board (and unfortunately not focusing on good eating and exercise) for months. I'm working on the eating and exercise and plan to check in here regularly again. I've always found this group to be supportive and so inspiring - I'm happy to be back!

Good evening to all! Good day at work – productive but not hair-on-fire crazy so pretty enjoyable. Tomorrow, I’ll be in an all-day meeting so that should be tons of fun. Unfortunately, there are more of those than I’d prefer and sometimes I really battle the urge to go get a snack or a pop during the breaks. I’ll be…

Well, we are winding down here from a very productive 3-day weekend. Lots of cleaning, gardening and other little jobs around the house – it sure feels good to see my list with lines drawn through almost all of the chores. Katla – congrats on the weight loss AND on being so close to your goal!!! I completely agree with…

Good morning and hello again! I have been largely absent from this thread for over a month and my results definitely show it (gained back 4 pounds in the last few weeks). :frown: Life has just been very busy and complicated lately but that's no excuse and I am recommitting myself as of today. I've definitely missed the…

Hi, all! I have been absent from this wonderful thread for what seems like weeks. So busy at work that I am working 7-7 and then coming home and booting up the laptop and working some more. I have been (mostly) eating well and still walk a couple of miles each morning but no time to do much more. Happy to say that I've…

Holy cow, ladies! I've been away for a few days and unable to log in. I will have to spend some time tonight, reading the 10+ pages that I've missed. Just wanted to check in for now and wish you all a joyous day! I've been thinking about so many of you while I've been away and sending out lots of positive thoughts and…

Good morning, lovey ladies! I am happy to report that there is NO rain in the forecast here today OR tomorrow! It seems ike it has been raining for weeks and I have been missing my outdoor walks with a friend. I don't know that we'll be able to go tonight due to our schedues but at least it will be nice all day! Not much…

Hello, everyone and happy Sunday! I've read all of the posts from the last few days but didn't have time to formulate responses - as it is, I've been sitting here reading for quite a while. We ARE a chatty bunch! I had a terrific weekend with younger DD here from Wednesday night until this morning and older DD managed to…

7/4 Thurs - 7/6 Saturday - walked 60 minutes (20 hours, 30 min left) 7/7 Sun - Zumba Fitness 45 minutes (19 hours, 45 min left)

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!! Sorry to shout but - you know how sometimes you just wake up and you are in the BEST mood? Well, that's how I'm feeling this morning. As I've mentioned, my 20-yo DD comes home tonight and I am just so excited that I can hardly stand it. I've seen her several times this year but always for just a…

Good morning, all! We are expecting a bit of rain here again today and it is so humid that you can feel the moisture on your skin. It’s a bit of a nuisance, especially since it’s supposed to rain on the 4th, but our weather is so much better than what others are experiencing that I can’t complain. Heather – so sorry to…

Happy Canada Day to those who celebrate it! I didn’t set goals for June as I was not checking in here regularly during that first week of the month. I still managed to lose a couple of pounds and did get back on track during the second half of the month. I have two basic goals for June (which I stole from Katla, I…

Good morning, all and Happy Sunday! Had a pretty productive day yesterday but never did get to go trim up the shrubs. Will try again today but have a couple of commitments in the morning and it may just be too hot later. Kathy – I hope you had a good trip to Chicago yesterday; sounded like fun! Robin – thanks for sharing…

Good morning, all! Planning a low-key but productive weekend with DH (fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate). We have some errands to run and then I want to thin out and trim back our shrubs. He usually just hacks away at them but I want to shape them up with a little more deliberation. We’re expecting scattered…

Well, I am woefully behind again! Missed one day and now I have pages and pages to read through. I apologize in advance for those I will miss in my comments. Just know that I am cheering you all on and sending you lots of positive energy and prayer. Suzy – sorry to hear about the layoffs at your office. I’ve been through…

Good morning! Just checking in while i have my morning coffee. I hope it's a good day for everyone; we've had some storms here and expect more throughout the day. I've been in kind of a funk about exercise lately. I walk with a friend for 30 minutes each morning at work - that's about 1.5 miles - but I really need to do…

Hello, everyone! Just popping in to read a few pages and say hello. I'm feeling a little blah and out of sorts so will be off to bed early. Just wanted to wish Amanda & Sue good look with your surgeries and recoveries. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Good morning, all! I have been awol from this site for weeks - a combination of travel and being very busy at home and at work. I have missed chatting with you all and also, the discipline of logging my food and exercise. I've managed to stay away from the foods that tempt me (for the most part) but it's sure easier when I…

Good morning, all! Woke up @ 4:00 this morning; tried to sleep in for another hour but finally gave in and got up to start the day. It's going to be a busy weekend so I'm already in full-swing, trying to get everything done here. Eileen - I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I'm sure it helps that you know she is not in…

Good evening, all! I am only home for a minute and then going out to walk with a friend but I had to share.... the doctor left me a message today and the mass is benign. So that is one huge relief, as you can imagine! Thank you all again for your support over the last couple of days. I did not tell many people in my daily…

Good morning, all! Thanks again for all of the positive thoughts and prayers yesterday! Keep ‘em coming as I don’t find out for sure until tomorrow but I’m feeling good today, physically and mentally! I think I missed a few posts at the end of the other thread; I’ll go back and try to catch up today. Barbie – boo for the…

Ladies, I am back from having my biopsy done and cautiously optimistic about the outcome. The radiologist felt it was a cyst beforehand and then it deflated to less than half its size when he put the biopsy needle in so that reinforced his opinion. I should know on Thursday but am feeling pretty good at this point. I just…

Good morning, all! Big day for me – I have to have a biopsy on a lump that was discovered last week on my mammogram. I had to go back for another mammo, then two sonograms and now the biopsy. The radiologist thinks it’s a cyst but just couldn’t tell for sure on the sonogram films so here we are…… would appreciate your…

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I have been in a great mood all day, even though I am coming down with a cold. Let's hope the scale doesn't torment me tomorrow with a gain! Peaches & Jnkmm - praying for your husbands and for you as well. JB - thanks for the laugh! I only have a couple of minutes so skimmed today's…

Good morning! I'm in a rush to get out the door so will have to go back later and read the newest posts. I just had to share one thing.... got on the scale this morning and I am officially down 25 pounds since I started in January! I have a few not-so-pleasant things that I am dealing with right now so seeing the results…

Good Sunday morning! We are supposed to get a little rain here this morning and then SUN and temps in the mid- to upper-60s. I am hoping to go for a long walk this afternoon – can’t wait! My older DD stopped by yesterday with her BF. It was her birthday and they were in town to spend the evening with his brother and some…

Congralations to MA on passing the dreaded 200 mark! Love your idea of celebrating by taking a long walk.
