Good morning ladies! It is a balmy, albeit windy day here today but I thibnk we are scheduled for a dump of snow tomorrow. Winter isn't finished with us yet here in Canada!!:noway: Jo - I did make the tea cakes this morning and I think I remember why they are so good - all that butter and eggs!! :bigsmile: almost like a…

Good morning ladies...welcome to March and the promise of spring (although those of us in northern climes still have a way to go!:laugh: ) Jo - that sounds like a lovely Welsh holiday celebration! And my eyes alerted to the mention of Welsh cakes:smile: We have made them for a few years in our house - not an old family…

Still barking and hacking, headaching and fatigued so no exercise for me yet!! Wish it would all clear up soon. Bumping in so I can find March later:smile:

What a week! what a week! After my wonderful weekend in the mountains, it was supposed to be my week to dig in and catch up. I started my week by inviting the four grands over for dinner, movie and a sleepover -:smile: to give their momma a chance to rest up from the weekend (she has fibromyalgia and had done hair for the…

Wow - just read through all the posts from the weekend! You are all so busy! I am back from my weekend in the mountains - I really had a good sleep in this morning. I guess all that cooking and playing in the snow wears the old body out. :wink: Tonight, the four grands are coming over for dinner and a movie and a…

No time to read or reply today so bumping in to mark my spot. I am off to the mountains for the weekend to cook for a friend's wedding event (not the main reception thankfully, just the rehearsal dinner, breakfast,....) See you next week! g

Oh dear, I thought I was only two pages behind and was so excited....only to discover we had moved on to a new topic page!! I was at the doctor today for a weigh in and was disappointed to see no loss after a fairly good week :cry: but I will keep on!! Bj -yes we do get the chinooks here but this is warm even for here -…

Not a great food day yesterday - a lunch pot luck with roasted elk (?) and ham and buttery roasted potatoes and corn and salad and some delish Dutch almond butter square things....oh my! And my coffee date in the evening involved two shared pizzas. I limited myself to two small slices - but oh, my body was craving some…

Here is hoping all you easterners have survived the big snow dump. It sounds like you should be able to log some snow shoveling exercise for sure!! :noway: Wow! Some of you really got hit!! Nothing here at all and still above freezing temps, although a little greyer day here - most unusual for these parts and this time of…

Good morning all. Trying to keep up with all thee posts but oh my, it may take more time than I have!! Renny - I totally agree with your question...what can I take control of today? I try to avoid setting goals of weight loss or pounds/week. I really have no control over those numbers. I do have control over what I put in…

It's a greyer, windy day here today but still above freezing so we will take it! Probably won't get out for a walk today but did my hour at water aerobics earlier this morning. It always takes some motivation to get out the door but feels good once I get going:smile: It is a busy week ahead so I am going to have to be…

I had to skip over a couple of pages - just no time to read every post - and I am feeling pretty tired topnight. So it might just be a bump to mark my spot, a cup of tea and bedtime for me! g

Bumping in to mark my spot and then heading out for a walk in the glorious plus 10 C degree weather. (It's February, right?) Glenda, in the unseasonably warm south of Alberta

@Katla - EVOO = extra virgin olive oil Just bumping in to this VERY busy spot. g

(OH, why will it not let me edit my last post???) JaneH - Can you fly from the US to Iran if the state department does not allow travel there? Just wondering. One of the speakers at my conference this weekend is Iranian. So sorry about the conflict over your son. It is tough. Our policy was always that you could live at…

I was away for three days and there are five pages of posts to read!!! Don't have time to catch up right now but want to mark my spot. I was at a great conference all weekend with nonstop sessions, good speakers and wonderful concerts. It was 10 hours of driving there and back, lots of sitting but very inspiring! We did…

Well, I survived grandparents day at preschool:laugh: though if I had to get up and down off the floor too many more times, it was not going to be pretty! i did take consolation in the fact that I was not the last one to complete that maneouvre - not bad for a gal with a hip replacement. The morning of doing the…

It is late and time for bed but a few comments before i tuck myself in.... Joy - From Norway to Rome! :smile: May there be many sunny days, long leisurely walks, good coffee and great pasta and wine in your days there. Enjoy! Cheryl - So sorry to hear of the death in your community. The end of such young lives is so much…

A quick good morning to all yu ladies - I am determined to actually accomplish something today! Michelle - snow shoeing is actually quite easy - walking with big clown shoes on your feet?!?!:laugh: so a little more strenuous for sure. But it gets me out into some beautiful scenery and spots that wouldn't be accessible in…

We finally made a decision yesterday and made a late start for the mountains (about an hour and a half drive) . As we drove into the mountains, the sun came out, lighting up the snowy peaks! We had a glorious afternoon- we snow shoed through the trees and out in the sunshine - lovely! I did take it a little easy - it's my…

Good morning! Grey here but no wind - that is a nice break. So, mountains or no mountains? I tis a late start to the day but we will see.... jb - Your picture is looking rather sultry! I know I am old when 1995 doesn't seem like that long ago! Renny - I think it got up to plus 10 or twelve here yesterday but still some…

Good morning ladies! This warm (well, warm for here in the winter:smile: ) chinook wind is living up to its name - "snow eater"- and our beautiful white landscape is disappearing.:cry: We are considering a trip to the mountains tomorrow - maybe we will find some whiteness there! My talk at the wedding shower last night…

Not a great visit to the doctor today - after three weeks of 'behaving' and , for me, some increase in exercise and activity - I lost a grand total of 300 grams:angry: (which means I did not eat breakfast before I went!) So discouraging. I told her that I really cannot eat much better than I am and still have a life and I…

Good afternoon all! I made it out to the pool again this morning - that's two!!:happy: - I can't believe how much better I feel when I am exercising and eating healthy! It does make me wonder why the 'crap' food and no exercise stil hold so much appeal?:frown: Meg - I LOVED the idea of the declining registration - pay up…

jb - I just read your poem after I posted. That is great - :smile: thanks for sharing. We all need that encouragement to keep on! (did you write it? you always have such creative contributions :smile: ) g

Good morning everyone! No sunshine here yet today, but the temp is at zero and a chinook is moving in so milder weather is on the way. I broke down and bought a three month pass to the pool for my aquacise classes. So now I just have to be diligent and use it so I am getting my money's worth!:happy: It also lets me in to…

Good afternoon ladies! After a weekend that included dinner at home with friends and three meals of :smooched: wonderful hospitality (all roast beef dinners!!!), I got out this morning to aquacise and am breathing a sigh of "Ah, that feels better!" Back to the fruits and veggies and exercise! Renny - I used to have the…

It is a beautiful, sunny, wind-free day here in southern alberta and after our dump of snow it looks a bit like a Christmas card out there. And yes, I did have to go out for a walk and soak it all in - startling blue sky, cold crisp air, snow covered evergreens and glistening snow covered fields......glorious!!:love: Robin…

Oh my, the snow has started this morning - and just after I was bragging on facebook that we had no snow here yet! (apparently there was snow in Jerusalem??) Katla - our Canadian broadcasting network did a program here called Village On a Diet, where doctors and trainers and therapists visited people in their hometown, and…

Popping in for a quick comment before I head for bed..... mwheatcraft - what did you do to reset metabolism? I may have missed it if you already posted Nancy - I so hear you on 'Once I get home I am done" I had to go directly to the gym after school or it did not happen at all. It is a bit problematic now that I am no…
