A beautiful sunny day in southern Alberta - a better night's sleep than I have had in days, company fed and on the road, a little garden work finished, ....shaping up as a good start to the week. :smile: Now to get the eating and exercise in line!:laugh: There is hope!! glenda

Bumping in - haven't been here forever!! But as I scanned through..... Joy - that photo made me gasp out loud! You should be proud of yourself:flowerforyou: I am not sure I would have the courage!

Yikes! I got lost in space. My computer would not go past May 13 on here and once the topic was locked, it did not show the "continued at" link to the new page?? :grumble: So I had to do some searching....and I have found you:wink: It is still not one hundred percent okay, but I'll mark my spot here and hope for the best.…

Ladies, ladies! you are all so busy and chatty, I just can't keep up anymore! Meg - a HUGE happy birthday wish to you! Celebrate the day with enthusiasm and may you feel loved :flowerforyou: BeckyRay - It is hard to do self care when you are so busy taking care of others - you have my respect and admiration for raising…

Cheryl - Lovely prom photo of your daughter - you must be a very proud momma:smile: Renny - I LOVED the video!! Beautiful song, beautiful setting and a lovely sound (also a proud momma I am guessing:smile: ) It is…

Just a pop in to mark my spot. Life haas been crazy full and diet and exercise have gone by the wayside the last weeks:frown: time to get back at it? Glenda

After two days of nausea and headache, I think I might be back to some normal - here is hoping! It is a beautiful, sunny, blue sky day out there - but still lots of snow! The Christmas card lives on!!:smile: But I am glad to see sun and it truly is beautiful and I know the tulips are pushing up under there…

cheryl - Love the ecard! :laugh: may be just what I need today!:wink:

It was a busy weekend, an all day workshop, three concerts, no exercise and some terrible eating! Time to climb back on the wagon. Okay, maybe not NO exercise - there was that half hour of snow shovelling! in the below freezing weather!! Not sure what that is about but a lot of the province got hit with huge dumps of snow,…

Nine pages on a new thread...are you kidding me?!? I am not even going to try to catch up!! Besides, it is snowing to beat all this morning:angry: - most of the province has got a dump this weekend, making roads treacherous (hence, I skipped the 40 minute drive to church this a.m.) - and I really need to go shovel a bit…

Snow and freezing this morning - minus 10degrees celsius!!! Yep, March and april, it's what we call winter in these parts!:noway: Peachstategal - For sure will be praying for your husband - for healing and for strength and perseverance in the journey to quit smoking. That is for sure a tough one! deedee - I do want to see…

Hello my dear ladies! it is a cool, cloudy day here today - the temp has dropped to zero from 22C on Tuesday!:noway: so it might be a good day to tackle some baking. There are a few people in need of some loving in the form of prepared meals/baking. Renny 10k in 1.5 hours is impressive! Good work. And thanks for the…

Bumping in to this VERY busy spot! Great encouragement to adapt and adjust and go at your own pace. At this age, I think we have all learned that we do not have to impress anyone and have the confidence to do what is good for me as an individual. Thanks ladies for the reminders. Kate - i loved that feeling of being able to…

Bumping in at page 10. Ladies, I can't keep up!!! (oh look....page 11!!:noway: )

It is a glorious day today, and again tomorrow according to the forecast - so hope to get out to enjoy it before the temp drops agan and we head into some overcast gloom! have a great day all1 glenda

Just a couple of quick replies this frigid morning (-17 C when woke up this morning!!! - what the heck is that???) LindaC - i am actually in southern alberta, but LOTS of sunshine here too:glasses: mwheatcraft - welcome back, you have been missed here! It sounds like you had a great visit with your mom:smile: Debora, from…

Good morning lovely ladies. Any of you that get Canadian news may have seen that we were hit with a major spring snow:noway: - highways closed, 100 car pileup....we missed the worst of that here in the south but things are still pretty white and icy this morning!! We havedefinitely had more winter in March than we have in…

Bump Had a long thoughtful post....and the thread locked as I posted:explode: Maybe later?

Janeh - goalie with a netted stick..lacrosse, maybe? And yes, the airfares here are sometimes rather discouraging!:frown: Someone once told me that exercising on an empty stomach is like running a car on an empty tank. I do agree that a large meal before a workout is not very advisable, but I do try to have a bite before a…

More snow today, a bit of a headache and thee hint of a sore throat:frown: ...not the best of days. But we will for sure celebrate the good that is in it! I spent many hours on my butt at a Justice film festival this weekend. Not so good for the body but it sure exercised the brain. So many causes that need to be…

Good morning ladies. A busy weekend ahead with little to no exercise:angry: I am attending a Justice film festival so lots of sitting and mental processing. BJ - Well said "Thank your for the consistency, patience and for the power of your support" Back at you! 165 days of logging and 49 pounds lost is a great…

Hello all! It was a kind of lazy day here - just couldn't seem to get the energy going today - so no trip to the gym:frown: and tomorrow could be a full schedule....oh dear:embarassed: Michelle -Yes, I do some cooking - mostly as a volunteer or for friends. I have tried to cut mushrooms with an egg slicer too and was…

Cheryl, Iwas looking at your chart of your weight loss progress and I am seeing that, since Aug 2012, you have lost 25 pounds, correect? Thart is a GREAT loss - about a pound per week? - which is healthy and sustainable.:flowerforyou: I hear you on the discouragement with the slower pace and the need to refocus but overall…

It's sur not spring but it is breathtaking:love: Amanda - I love the call of the bagpipes - they somehow pull at my heart. I have been known to drive around town to find the source (see…

Jeri - yes we have lovely sun today .....and another dump of snow in the forecast! Welcome to…

Good Monday morning ladies (or is that an oxymoron?:laugh: ) Well, winter had it's way with us here yesterday - a huge dump of snow and raging winds that left people stranded, cars in the ditch and highways closed. :noway: I had started out to church in the morning - a 30-40 minute highway drive - and when it started to…
