Good morning all. Monday is off to a good start. Got the neice and nephew off to school came home and just got done walking the dogs. The training of the puppy is coming along. I met a nice gentlemen this weekend whom I have seen walking his dogs before(two beautiful mastiffs) and he gave me a couple of more tricks to try.…

Hilow everyone. Today has been a fairly good day. I got a nice walk in with the dogs and my son. I then got a lot done around the house and made some yummy soup for dinner. I also made some really good garlic cheese flatbread so thank goodness I hadnt eaten alot leading up to dinner:laugh: My son and I are now watching the…

Well hello all my friends:happy: Today is wet, windy, and stormy. I LOVE it. I havent let it slow me down though. I broke out the leslie sansone on youtube and got about half her 3 mile power walk done and then the computer froze. Did I let this stop me. Nope. There was a break in the rain so threw the dogs leashes on and…

Hi everyone. Sorry I was gone the last couple of days. It was the mad rush to get hubby back off to work. The boat pulled out of Seattle early this morning and as long as sea trials go well will be on its way to Dutch Harbor Alaska. I spent the day getting lots of healthy foods and some new exercising equipment and…

Alrighty I got the walk in with the doggies. I am going to start posting what I get done on a daily basis so here goes: Per my hrm the walk was 52 min, we went 2.51 miles. 6679 steps and burned 1311 calories. So when I log my exercise I am logging 800 and will plan to eat about half of that back just to be on the safe…

Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping safe and warm. I am fortunate that I live on the west coast and while we are very cold for here I am from Illinois so this is a picnic in comparison:wink: I was pretty happy overall with last week. My food was more good then bad though still not where I want it to be but I exercised…

Good morning everyone. I just got back from a great walk with the doggies. I finally learned how to use a few more features on my hrm. I now know how many calories I burned, how many miles i walked, and how many steps I took. I pushed up to four laps today which was 2.51 miles and just over 6000 steps. The last lap was…

Hi everyone. It sounds like we all had a safe and fun new years. My husband and I stayed in but he drove our 21 year old daughter to and from the party they wee attending so there would be no worries there. I have finally got the last of the holiday goodies out of the house and just have to control myself around the hubbys…

Good morning my friends. Tom I loved your quote today so much I am stealing it to post on facebook. These are the kinds of things I like my kids to think about. Today has been a fair start. The puppies demanded their walk not long after I woke up and their bathroom issues seem to be resolving. I think I might be spoiling…

Good morning everyone. I guess the dog walking must be getting more consistent. My dogs have started pestering me the last couple of days between nine and ten until we get out there. I know if their internal clocks know what time it is I am starting form a habit which in this case is a good thing. I think I may have given…

Good morning friends. Welcome to all the new people I see on here. I will do a quick share since there are so many new faces. My name is Tammy and I am a 41 year old wife and mother of 3 grown kids (though 2 still to live at home). I have been overweight ever since the onset of puberty and then three pregnancies took it to…

Good morning everyone. Hope you all are enjoying your Saturday. I just got back from walking the dogs. Had to cut back on the jogging part today as my right knee was bothering me yesterday afternoon. I am not one to not listen when my body complains so back to just walking for a few days at least and then we will see from…

Good morning ladies and whatever gents might be lurking about. Today is going to be a good day. Got up and putzed around for awhile and then took the dogs for a nice long walk. I officially added another lap to the route. That puts me at three. My eventual goal is four or five but boy am I pooped at three right now though…

Good Morning everyone. Happy to hear everyone seems to have had a good Christmas. Ours was wonderful.Had a great time with the family. My family spoiled me. My son got me some new Bose speakers for my computer, the daughter got me the waffle maker I have been wanting and hubby got my the food saver system I have been…

Just popping on To say MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. May you have a truly blessed day with friends and family.:bigsmile: :heart: :heart:

Hey everyone. It was good to read through the posts and catch up on how you are all doing. I am in a mad rush to get everything perfect at the house since hubby comes home on Saturday. Its funny cause I do this everytime like he doesnt know what a halfhearted housekeeper I really am:bigsmile: Well as I am sure you all have…

Hello all. I am having a good day today. Working on cleaning up the house and going to do a little shopping. I took the dogs for a nice walk and have started interspersing some jogging into the walks. It is amazing how much that upped the calorie burn and the dogs loved it. On a success note I couldnt jog even for a couple…

Good Morning everyone. Hope you are all havng a great Thursday morning. Yesterday was fun and terrible at the same time. Spent the whole day with my middle daughter running errands and making christmas goodies to hand out to neighbors, co-workers and friends. We had a lot of fun but with all the tasting my diary was not…

Hi everyone. I missed you all. I had a miserable cold that has been going through the whole family but am feeling much better today. My thoughtful daughter filled the x-mas candy jars that happen to sit on my desk and I mindlessly ate a LOT of calories today. Who would have thought those little things would add up so fast.…

Good morning everyone. First off Robin I am so glad you got a second opinion and hopefully all goes well with your treatment plan. I have caught the nasty cold that has been going around our area. My mom has been fighting it a couple of weeks and then my neice and nephew had it last week and now my son and I both woke up…

Good morning everyone. I cant beleive it is Monday morning already. The weekend just flew past. I got the kiddos off to school and then had to take the car into the shop. They think it will take more then today so now I am sporting a loaner for a day or so. When I got home I took the puppy for a walk but decided to was to…

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great holiday. Mine was nice with my mom and I co-hosting dinner. We had it at her house since hers is much bigger but I was over there first thing in the morning helping with the cooking and getting everyhting ready. We were missing some people to make it perfect but we at least…

Good morning everyone. I had a great time a t the craft fair yesterday but then I always so. I got one real cute item and some roasted nuts and my mom and I saw a couple of things we are going to try and duplicat. We are thinking of going to another much bigger one that features more of the antique victorian type things.…

Good morning everyone. I think overall I have had a much more successful week then the last few. Dare I say as long as I dont blow it this weekend I might even have a loss to show on Monday. I am checking in here while I eat a bagel for breakfast before starting the day. It is christmas craft fair day. All the girls in the…

Hi everyone. I have a minute of peace so I thought I would log on real quick and tell all of you how great you really are:wink: Thinks are hectic right now and will stay that way for the most part through the first of the year but there are worse things in life. I think my Thursday truth is i am great at talking the talk…

Good Monday morning. I think the puppy is trying to help me meat goals today. He keeps getting into things in the back of the house. Admittedly my house is small but walking down the hallway every five to ten min is bound to add up:laugh: My weekend was a lot of fun and really nice and totally sucked on the food front. Oh…

Good Evening everyone. I had a pretty good day. I got the house cleaned up and FINALLY finished my pantry project. I tried a new recipie for dinner.It was called sweet and sour sesame chicken off a website called Best Yummy recipies. I cant say they have lots of "healthy" options but they do have lots of yummy recipies and…

Good evening all. My day has been fairly good. Not a whole lot happened. I am starting to get back into my exercise routine and the food while still not perfect is coming around. My puppy is completly pooped. We took him over to my brothers to introduce them to their 8 month old german shepard after a short period they…

Good morning guys. I hope everyone is off to a great hump day. I was out of comission the last couple of days with a flair up of my mystery pain and headache. Five years and more tests then I can count and still no idea what causes it to flare up. Oh well at least it is a lot less frequent since I changed the way I eat and…

Good morning everyone. Well my weekend wasnt to bad. I was actually pretty lazy but didnt go insane on the food so it worked out. My son took me to see the new Thor movie on Saturday. I really enjoyed it. All the action you expect from a super hero movie but with lots of funny one liners so spent a lot of time laughing.…
