pipcd34, you're right. May have been my fault, though. I've been a member of the same gym in the past, so didn't really feel the need for a full tour. Initially, I thought I would mostly use free weights & the treadmill, but now that I've been working out for awhile & am in better shape, I WOULD like to expand my workouts…

Yikes, long time, no visit! My weight loss journey has slowed down, but still making progress--down 20 lbs. This morning I will meet with a personal trainer at the gym as there are many fitness machines there that I have no idea how to use. Would like to have options for varying my routine. I don't plan to "hire" the…

GRITSandSLU, You are a smart gardener. Bedding plants cost far too much to let them freeze by putting them out too early. Here in Wisconsin, everyone is very excited for spring, so if you don't shop early you may not find what you need is still available. Planning my flower gardens (it takes me hours) helps get me through…

Good day, ladies. Haven't been on here for awhile. You are all so good about getting online bright & early in the day. I'm not a morning person & don't get on until after I've had my coffee & have awakened enough to be coherent (I hope). Well, I got on the scale this morning & was very happy to see that I'm down 10 lbs!…

Charleen -- That is an exquisite quilt! I envy your patience & talent. So beautiful. I have to ask, do you sell your quilts? Thanks for the support after my Friday night chocolate cake incident. :) (can't get icons to show in the chat box). I was worried that it might be the beginning of a downward slide, but Saturday &…

Janetr, so very sorry that you've experienced such a devastating loss. Be kind & supportive to one another. Together you will get through this. How heartbreaking.

Hi all. Before I go to sleep, I must come clean. Friends called this afternoon & asked us to go out for dinner with them. Uh-oh, thought I, how will I keep my calorie count down? A salad! That's the ticket. Only...when we got to the restaurant there was no salad on the menu. So, I ordered a burger, at a few bites of the…

Another cold, rainy day in WI. Finally gave in & took a nap. At least the tulips & daffodils are blooming. They're the bright spots in our yard. Much too cold for naked gardening! No exercise class today. Gave myself the day off. Maybe will get on the treadmill later. It would warm me up. Kudos to everyone out there…

Howdy. Another gloomy, cold day, plus wind. BUT went to core class this morning & did the treadmill, so off to a good start. On the way home from the gym, I came across a garage sale. You KNOW I had to stop! Bought two beautiful striped Pennsylvania house armchairs for the family room ($40 each--what a bargain!). They are…

Howdy. Gloomy & cold day here. Which makes me feel very hungry. Blech. Today will be a struggle in the eating department but I have salad & soup on hand. And tea. I got up & went to my low impact class. Did my weekly home weigh-in this morning & am down 3 lbs. Yay! Will keep this in mind as motivation when I feel like…

Hi all. Chris, so very sorry to hear of your heartbreak. Hope you will be feeling well soon. It's not easy. Well done, Dr. Katie. Quite an accomplishment! Doesn't it feel good? A quiet day here in Lake Wobegon. Took DH for his 5-year colonoscopy this morning. He was like a giant drunken toddler after the procedure. I fed…

Wow! You guys are a very active group. I'm impressed! Thanks for the lovely welcome notes. Spring in Wisconsin is lovely (we're near Madison). I'm trying to get outdoors as much as possible before mosquito season sets in. Have a natural recipe for a spray made of mouthwash, Epsom salts & beer (this IS Wisconsin after all)…

Hi. I'm new & a little unsure. I don't usually post to boards, but would like to give it a try. I tend to be a bit of a lone wolf when it comes to weight loss (fear of failure?) but sure could use motivation & support! I live in Wisconsin, will turn 60 this summer & am 3 years retired & LOVING IT. My husband is also…

I'm doing the Couch to 5K, too, and just finished the final workout of Week 3 on Sunday. Wouldn't you know, I strained my right gluteal muscle sometime during that workout, although I didn't feel it at the time. I've been limping around for the last 2 days, but as soon as it heals up, I'm going back on the program because…
