I'm a US Citizen! :-). . . Living in Greece. Oh well. Honestly, I was just curious what it was and why nothing happened when I clicked it, don't really want to participate anyway.

Way to go! Thank you for sharing! May I ask your height?

Started reply, but lost it twice. Marla, hike sounds amazing, hiking hills plus beaches! Laura, thanks for the input about your leg. I think you're right. Occasional twinges are okay. I just have to remember that I'm not in constant pain any more! Not much going on today. Probably will put the Christmas tree away.

Nice work yesterday Laura! Getting off to a great start this year! Marla, hope you got that hike. I'm still just stuck with the kids and lil girl came into our bed last night (she never does that) and coughed most of the night. So DH and I didn't get great sleep. I napped and he's napping now. I realllllly miss the…

I love all the contributions to this thread! I should be posting goals (lord knows I've made and remade them!), but just as with the past six months, there's still this question of my legs. And although I plan to use the ibuprofen until the 15th, whether I'm better on that day or not doesn't mean anything. If I'm "better",…

Happy new year! Love the thread starters! Perfect!

Happy new year! Hope it's a good one in your new place Marla! Well with lil girl's cough, I thought I'd stay home with her...but she looked forward to it all day (since Jul4 in USA really), but when the time came, it was my son who wasn't interested and went to bed (but I'm so thankful for his great sleeping and eating…

Have a happy New Year's Eve! We plan to walk up the hill behind our building where we will be in the center of the city to see all the fireworks at midnight.

Well, I was going to do errands today for some walking, but lil girl was even more congested and sick as ever so I stayed home with her. Good news is.....no, great news is: my legs have been pretty good with the ibuprofen and I just might beat this thing! Eeee! :# If I do, I might cry the day I go off the ibuprofen to…

So glad you made it and I bet your daughter is glad too! Have fun shopping!

I'm still being a bit of a slug, but at least had a super healthy dinner. Leg hurt a bit today, trying to adjust to different pills (400mg x2 instead of 600+200mg...800 doesn't exist here). Also got through the suitcase of clothes that arrived from US and sorted according to size (stuff for lil girl that her cousins wore,…

Today I stayed home again, with lil girl while the boys visited greatgrandmother. Lil girl napped! She never does that. That should've tipped me off, but it wasn't until her second nap of the day (!?!?) that I realized she had a fever. She's been home for days so she couldn't've picked up a bug. Maybe a teeth thing, idk.…

It wasn't a good month for my fitness goals. But it was a great month for getting my home in order, which was well worth it. I did pre cut veggies and make batches of tzatziki and veggies and bean dishes. I did put kids to bed early and got better sleep for parts of the month. But I sabotaged myself in lots of other ways.…

^Ali for Boxing Day, lol. Nice message too. Marla, I hope your stomach gets straightened out! Terrible to be sick during the holidays. I've not been feeling very good. I think t.o.m. interferes with my digestion and makes me feel stuffed and bloated even when I'm not. :( So I've just been staying home with my poochy…

Merry Christmas! Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. We've had a nice couple of family days. T.o.m. Caught up with me, so got the "blahs", but staying in and now two more days of No leg pain! This is a big Christmas wish come true and hope for the new year for me. :-) Hope you are all having special days.
-
Wow, everybody's seeing Star Wars. Hope it's good! Well, picked lil girl up at same time as son today and took them downtown to fight shopping crowds. The great news is that after doing some serious vacuuming today (used ALL the attachments! Worked up a sweat too) and walking the same distance as Monday (after which I…

Hi! Speaking of presents, I recently discovered I'd done some Christmas shopping back in Nov during lil girl bday shopping. I'm a wait-til-Christmas-eve kinda person, so I had totally forgotten. Anyway, it's gonna be a good Christmas for lil girl, lol! Well, I survived yesterday BARELY. Took lil girl shopping and by the…

Hi, quick check in. Did final stage of the big toy sort, where I actually let the kids make some selections. Took out two bags of trash from the sort. Now, to get all the goody bags (clothes and toys and blankets, etc) out of here and tend to some of the problem zones that collect random stuff (like the infinite supply of…

Val, the home stretch for school, yay for you! And potential new income! You're getting started on a great 2016 already! Marla, lol about high school friend-making! Hope y'all have fun. Well the ibuprofen didn't help much today, but maybe I just got off to a bad start having to walk downtown and back the morning. I hate…
-
Val, good luck with all the holiday stuff. Marla, I would love to take a creative writing class! I don't think I'd find an English one here though. If you aren't into writing, you should check out the other offerings. Awesome opportunity. Laura, vertigo is awful. I once had a mild case that was the worst when I laid in bed…
-
HI! Val, glad to hear you survived the hubby run. Lol! Marla, celebrate the sun, whoohoo! Got unfun embassy paperwork done yesterday, but a little walking killed my legs. I'm proud that i was very productive at home yesterday and again today. But my legs were really bad today walking home from the tutor, and well, just…
-
You've done amazingly!!! But still wanting to lose 177?!? I think you might actually be closer than you think. How tall are you?
-
Marla, I constantly try to re-call how it was once easy for me. The best I can come up with is that when it was easy I was heavily distracted by an eventful (fun, not burdened) life. I lived to the fullest instead of eating to the fullest. Maybe if I can ever get that back again it might get easy again. Laura I'm jealous…
-
^Truth!!! All I can say is good luck. To us all. Laura, I really hope you get straightened out. Feeling wobbly is annoying at least and scary at times. Marla, that's great about the campaign! I wish you and your new friends great success! ;-) Huge congrats on the 8lbs! It's nice to hear your success...I need the…
-
Laura, sorry you've been sick. Hope you get better soon. Marla, that was a great "good deed" for the neighbor kids! I need you as a neighbor! ;) Well, things aren't going well for me here...at least not for workouts, yet. I've had a lot of things pop up and being alone means it's all up to me. And that ends in exhaustion.…
-
Val, glad you are feeling some better. Happy bday to little one. You sound like us, we don't decorate Christmas until after sons bday, to keep his day special. We put the tree up Sat, one day after sons bday. And that leads to why I didn't sleep early last night....I went to bed early but cats had other plans for me, and…

Okay, so I have goals but am not very confident in my ability right now. Need to get my bearings now that DH is gone for a bit. But I'll post my goals, whether I believe I can meet them or not. My "goals" are really "tactics" for getting me back on track before the new year. Goals 1. Dumbbell workout 3x/wk 2.…

Hi! Well DH left early this a.m. And I'm already exhausted. Lol. Took the kids to a special exhibition with some friends. These are friends who really draw high energy out of my kids, so it's always a lot of work keeping them under control in public spaces (we usually just do playgrounds, so no worries). Just trying to…
