Just dropping in to say hi to all you dear ladies. I am fine, but very busy. Keeping my exercise, water, weight and tracking consistent. Someone I know was looking for a little perspective and I dug out some words that I saw on a card over 50 years ago.:noway: They so inspired and encouraged me that I take them out once in…

Just a very quick hello! Very busy weekend like many. We had a BD and a wedding as well as many other routine things going on. The picture is me with three of my (6) sisters at the wedding!

Reading this just breaks my heart. I, too, lost my first husband suddenly. He died while we were watching TV. My 3 daughters were only 10, 7 and 4 years old. A night I will never forget.:cry: However, I have a huge family, 12 siblings and he was one of 6. I can't tell you how having family around was a comfort to me.…

Nice to hear from you! Are you still involved in Marathons etc.? BirdieM

So sorry for what you are going through.:cry: I will wrap you and your family in prayers.:heart: BirdieM

Thanks Michele. How often do you do it? I work with someone who was a dancer and she said to keep your balance, concentrate on engaging your core and trying to keep that in line, and not your feet as much. I find it helps...a little:wink: :laugh: BirdieM

If you have the platform, I believe you can just get the software. Good luck1 Birdiem

Sticking to an exercise routine was my biggest challenge, too.:grumble: I have no desire to exercise after working all day...even though I work in an office and am sitting most of the day. So, I force myself to get on the treadmill every morning before I go to work and now it's simply second nature to me to do it! If I…
