Good morning everyone. I am able to sit at the computer again :) I have had my foot elevated almost constantly since Sunday. I took the dogs for a walk Sunday morning to one of our local trails were it is okay to let them off the leash. Well the 60 pound puppy Zeus was wandering around and didnt come when I called so I…

I just had to jump in and share my happiness. My son and I took the dogs to the park and after hitting balls for them for a while my son challenged me to jog a lap around the track. I DID IT. A quarter mile without stopping. I was so happy I was almost giddy:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Hello everyone. Today has been pretty good. I have been fairly busy. I got up later then usual so we started the day off with a walk since me and the doggies dont like hot weather. We also have a weather system skirting around us so its nice and muggy:ohwell: After that I grabbed my mom and it was off to costco and a…

I think I might be overdosing on cherries today. They have a lot more calories then I would have thought but I would rather have these calories then chips or cookies:bigsmile:

Good morning everyone. I hope you are all having a great hump day:happy: I am not sure what was going on with me yesterday but I was just physically exhausted all day so didnt get much of anything done.Today has started off much better. I was up at seven and out walking the dogs by 8. It wasnt as long a walk as I planned…

good evening everyone. I had a nice productive day. Got lots of fruits and veggies prepped and ready to just grab and eat for the week so hopefully the kids and I will gear more towards them now that they are convenient. I spent the rest of the dayy outside getting lots of little projects done around the house. I have been…

Hello everybody. I am having a very pleasant Saturday. I got up around 7:30 and after showering and coming alive I met up with my mom and we spent just over four hours garage sailing at a massive neighborhood sale not far from where we live. We got all kinds of great stuff for just about every one in the family and i…

Good morning everyone. It looks like we are all having a decent day. I got back to walking with the dogs yesterday and boy did two weeks off do a number on my stanima. I was doing 3-4 miles comfortably and have only made it a couple miles each of the last two days. Oh well I built the stanima up once and I can do it again.…

Wow you guys totally got away from me. It has been a very fast couple of weeks in our household. We made it to the surprise party for fil and it went off great. Lots of out of town family we rarely get to see and dad was completley surprised. On the down side daughter went down with us but drove her own car and was about…

Good morning friends. I am happy to see everyone seems to be trucking right along. Karen and Laurie yay for the end of the school year. I am also done with my babysitting when school gets out. they are going to be watched mainly by their other aunt through the summer so all the cousins can play together. So the drama seems…

Hi everyone. As usual hubby came home and it is non stop going since he got here:laugh: Robin I was so happy to read about the great dr's appointment. Getting off 4 meds is a great thing. Sorry to hear about all the water in your apartment though. I lvoe storms but hey sure can do a lot of damage. Laurie happy belated…

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to check in and ty all for the kind reassurances about Zeus. He is home and doing pretty good. Keeping him still and calm for the next 10 days or so is going to be a challenge though. I have already had to put all his toys up because by this morning he is wanting to play fetch and there…

Good morning. I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I had a nice day yesterday just running errands with the family and then a backyard bbq, that I had plenty of calories left for, at the end of the day. My hubby is home. Him and the kids conspired to surprise me with him coming home one trip early and the kids…

Hello everyone. It took awhile but I caught up on all the posts. I want to wish a belated Happy bday to robin and kaye. I am happy to see everyone else seems to be trudging right along. I came in under calories for the first time in quite a few days today. May this be the start of a long streak:happy: My truth for Thursday…

Good morning everyone. It is a nice but cloudy day here. Not letting that slow me down though. I am going hiking in a couple of hours with my sil and the kiddos. Hoping my son will come but not sure yet. The last couple of days haves tripped along just fine. No complaints at the moment :tongue: I swear though yesterday my…

Good evening to all my friends. I am pooped. I have been doing yard work/gardening since about 11:00 this morning and quit right about 8:00. I dont know if I had mentioned that my lawn mower was broken. It was down for about a month and the grass had gotten so long I had to empty my bag 26 times to get it all mowed. I know…

Hi everyone. I am still alive. The last couple of days have just been strange. I cant say they were bad but nothing ever seemed to be going quite right. I did get in some exercies which I will update later today but my eating was all over the place. the good news is everything looks to be back to normal so I can get my…

good morning everyone. It is beautiful and warm today here in the pacific northwest. I am trying to think how I am going to rework my schedule here soon for my walks. I know me and once it gets to warm I wont do it so going to have to go early morning I think since I am to likely to talk myself out of it in the evening. I…

Good morning everyone. I hope everybody had a great mothers day. Mine was pretty quiet but pleasant all the same. My eating wasnt great over the weekend but I got in my walks both days and my eating has definitley been worse at other times. I dont have a whole lot planned for the week. Hoping to keep it pretty quiet. Robin…

So quick question....When you are frying something like my chicken cutlets tonight how do you account for the oil in the recipie builder? Any ideas? I couldn't figure it out so I just quick added 100 cals to my dinner total.

Hello everyone. I hope you are all having a happy Friday. I had a nice afternoon with my SIL and daughter. My daughter took us both to get mani pedis for mothers day. She definitley has he sweet moments, so now I am typing this with sparkly red nails :laugh: I had a couple of drinks while they had lunch first since I had…

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I am pretty tired tonight and got a niggling headache but I had a good day. My mom and I got the rest of the garden put in and then after I picked the kiddos up form school we came back to my house and they helped Aunt Tammy repot all of her herbs. It was a lot of…

Good morning everyone. Just got back from walking the dogs. Hubby called while we were out so that helped pass part of the time in a very nice way. As many of you know I have three kids who are all adults now. The youngest two just got done with school in the last year and are currently looking for a place to rent together…

Good morning everyone. Sorry I didnt make it on this weekend . I got slammed by a freight train named tom. I swear it gets worse every month. I am going to explore self surgery options pretty soon. No just kidding but if you had asked Saturday I might have been serious. Needless to say eating and exercise were mostly…

Hi everyone. Just popping in to say hi real quick. I have literally been going since I got up this morning. It was errands with my mom all morning, lucnh and light shopping with sil, and then my errands this afternoon. I left at 7:45 and have just got home for the day at almost 4. I am pooped.

Good morning everyone. So the day is off to a good start. I got the kiddos off to school and now I am free until Monday since their grandma is picking them up today and mom has tomorrow off. I am going to wait again for the dog walk until this evening so we can take the truck and go to the dog trails they like so much. SO…

Good morning everyone. It has been a good week so far. The weather here is just gorgeous and is supposed to lat through tomorrow. Spent most of yesterday outside. I have graduated to one more lap with the dogs which puts us at just over 3.5 miles. After our walk I went over to moms and thinned out the plants in the garden…

Good morning everyone. Today is a slow kinda day here. I went to go get the kiddos off to school and found out my nephew is nice and sick so no school for him. I bundled him over to my house after we dropped off sissy and he is in my sons room watching cartoons. The doggies are NOT pleased since this means no walk today. I…
