Wednesday check-in - just a quick hi to everyone and to let you know I'm still around. Moving day is 3 weeks away and we continue to move forward. Anxious to get this show on the road but also nervous for such a huge change in our lives. Have been logging my food but it's not precise in any way. Have been going to the gym…

Good day all, just to let you know I'm still around, busy planning for our move so have been out of touch. Just know I'm reading the log daily and tracking food but no precision in my food logs just trying to stay in the habit. Once things settle down I will perfect my eating plan and get serious about losing some pounds.…

Shopping with my sis today and had a grilled chicken panini, just checked the cals and it's like 800!!! What was I thinking?? Need to be more aware of calories before I eat! Lesson learned.....again! Damn I hate all these lessons ;)

Liana -water aerobics are killer. There is a class where I am moving to so I plan to join it when it starts in the fall. Today was an R&R day for me and DH. Spent the day at the Spa first in the mineral pool, then steam room then he had a relaxation massage and I had an amazing 1 1/2 hr pedicure with massage and Parrafin…

Today I made 15,302 steps! That's 10.42 kms., That's 6.47 miles! Yahooo!

Thursday already!!!! Today coffee with Mom and then more packing. Got a good number of walks in yesterday for a total of 8kms which is about 12,000 steps. Feeling good with my strength training and have increased my weights substantially in some areas so proud of that. A quick review of my diary lately and it is evident…

@ Jill - Vancouver Island so Pacific :) Got a quick walk in after visiting with our gym friend but not much else to report. Having a hard time getting my food back on track since the wknd festivities. I am either not eating and nibbling OR over eating at mealtime. Need to focus on getting this back on track because it…

Happy Monday - walked to the gym and back and it felt good getting some structure back after the weekend festivities. Off to book our moving truck and plan for the big move only 43 days away! It will be hard to leave but so excited to move to our new home and live by the ocean. This is huge for a prairie girl although we…

Hi all, I've read all your posts but sorry, no time to pull together replies. Just a quick pop in to say hi, very busy weekend with son convocating from University and family party so may not hear from me until Sunday. It's 6:30 p.m. And I've only consumed 370 cals today and NO exercise, that's the kind of day I'm having…

Wednesday checkin - a bit late! Walked to and from the gym again and did my weight lifting. I really love that morning walk and when the DH got in the car I promptly said 'aren't we walking' so unlike me hahaha! Just back from a second walk and hit 11,000+ steps. I am very motivated with my Fitbit although I'm still not…

Welcome aboard RenaeJae, you do a great job at addressing all the ladies, I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet :) look forward to getting to know you as well. What I love about this group is we are all around the same age (give or take) and have so much in common with our lives and what we are dealing with…

Tuesday check-in: beautiful morning, going for a nice walk and hope to get another one in this evening. Those are my favourite times to walk! Setting a small goal to drink 64oz of water as I am horrible at getting my water in. Reading the posts about urologist apts. and issues makes me think I might now be a bit thankful…

Happy Monday - crazy week behind me, literally LOL! Off to the dentist today and I have a STY in my eye which is painful but I think it will be done soon. Have to stay in check this week as I am an emotional eater and my emotions are on high now as house sold, son is convocating so I will also be attending University…

Saturday Check-In: garage sale over! House conditions removed - sale final! I hope! Now I can get my life back and concentrate on losing a few lbs. I haven't formally weighed in weeks and haven't updated MFP weight in ages so need to focus on some structure with food and exercise now and get the scale to move in the right…

Thanks, I will definitely check it out! Thursday check-in - not much to report, haven't been doing my daily walks as busy with garage sale prep and that's basically all I'll be doing this weekend! Will be glad when it's done. Had a pretty good food day yesterday but was wiped out so had a 'this n that' supper which is okay…
-
Checking in - just back from the gym enjoying a smoothie on the patio before I start my day. Full day of wearing my Fit it and hope to experiment and figure it out. @Screwmeno - I know enough to be dangerous at this point but hopefully will be able to share some info once I figure it out. It does sync with MFP which is…

Going to help my sis plant her flowers today. We are in the process of selling our house and I am not putting flowers in so need to get my flower fix :) Bought a Fitbit yesterday and went for a quick 6km walk after supper now trying to figure out why my exercise isn't showing on MFP. Have some reading to do on this subject…

Building a new house, how exciting! We are building too and it was fun meeting with the cabinet people and seeing our design come together. Hope to be in our home by Oct 1! Good luck on your build!

Welcome aboard! I am very fortunate as I went into menopause 5 yrs ago and the best thing was not having Monthlies! Fortunately I have very minor, infrequent hot flashes. My older sister has horrible hot flashes and has for the past 8 yrs so I was scared the same would happen to me. I did have bad mood swings pre-menopause…

Drove to the gym this a.m. As it was pouring out! Plan to get a walk in later today. Will spend the day preparing for a garage sale this weekend. Never had one so not sure what to expect. Feels weird to have people looking at my stuff and judging me LOL! I am not a hoarder but we are building a new home and going from 4…

I have no idea if it is for weight loss, it is packaged like a low cal beverage and it really is good. I would not use it other than for a refreshing drink. I had a small glass yesterday with no side effects :D

Don't want to sound hokey but .........Making a big life change is scary but you know what's even scarier? Regret! You have taken a huge step already, don't look back only move forward. It doesn't matter how long it takes you can do this and MFP is a great support network!
-
I drank 2 glasses of Aloe Vera juice the other day as a refreshing drink my son told me to try. It was delicious BUT I spent about an hour in the bathroom later that day!! Never expected that at all so you might want to give it a try. I bought it in the pop isle at Superstore, 5 calories but you may want to do some…

That step alone will empower you & show you that when you set your mind on something you can achieve it. Good luck, much success, you are unstoppable when you decide to be!

I hate the scale! Weighed myself this morning and says I'm up 3 lbs since yesterday WTH!!!!! Whatever, I know I am retaining as I had some high sodium items yesterday so will up the water and exercise today and not let it effect my mood! Live & learn!
-
Enjoying another gorgeous morning on the deck! Yesterday I drank some Aloe Vera juice that my son had bought and it was delicious but wasn't prepared for the side effects and spent a good hour in the bathroom!! Expected to be down at least 10 lbs this morning LOL!! Anyway, lesson learned about moderation. It was so…

@Canadjineh - so sorry to hear what you are going through. My very close friend is currently dealing with similar issues but her mom lives alone and they had to disconnect her stove so she wouldn't cook and told her it was broke. Afraid to leave her alone but have no choice. This was an amazing lady,classy,full of life and…

I totally get the scale issue and it can be my best friend or worst enemy and too many times I have let it determine my mood! No more, at this age I am trying to let go of that number but I admit it is a challenge especially as I have dieted since my teens. Right now I'm focusing on my body and seeing some muscle…
