Good Morning all... from snowy Virginia... This winter has been an interesting one for us hasn't it? Makes me want to eat LOTS of comfort food and read a book in front of the fireplace. Exercise?? haha! We used to live outside of Chicago -- it was do hard for me to commit to exercise there -- soooo cold, for soooo long!…

Oh Amanda! Your grandbaby is beautiful! Congrats! I don't post very often, but I read through all of yours. Congrats to all who are losing! Hang in there all those, like me, who are trying!!! haha! Have a great day... Enjoy being healthier!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good morning! Super cold day here in southern VA... I think we only had a couple of below freezing days last winter. This winter is kicking us in the derriere! I've certainly learned when it's cold outside, the fastest way to feel warm inside, is to take a dog for her walk! All bundled up, of course! Barbie, I just…

@Katia -- Our little schnauzer was so full she had to have an enema... she loves to eat bunny poop.... and anything else she finds on the ground. We say she is extremely "food motivated." The vet said in the future that a little canned pumpkin helps to get things moving. I have used it and it does seem to help. Good luck…

Hi everyone, This page is such a wonderful source of support! I love reading about everyone's triumphs... and feel for all who are struggling. The only bad thing about it is I spend way too much time reading it all... when I probably should just be at the gym! @ Exermom.... thanks for cracking me up today! I didn't realize…

Good morning everyone! I thought it was supposed to be warmer around here... I'm glad we don't have more snow, but this fog and rain is really ugly. @Carol (nccarolb) -- I totally think this grey weather works on our psyches. Sunshine and being outside just makes us happier all the way around. I restarted the 30 day Shred…

Day 2! Good, quiet day here in VA... finally warming up like it should. I loved having all those snow days, but am ready to return to normal, be able to walk outside without freezing and feel rejuvenated by the sun. I remember living north of Chicago where it really didn't warm up until late May... how did we do it? Oh, I…

Welcome February! After a challenging January with the weather, etc., I'm going to try and be more consistent this month. I'm already happy to hit the boards here on the actual First DAY of the Month! Here we go! Wish me luck as I wish you all consistency and great health!! xoxo tammy

On the fitness journey again... slow but sure. Down 1 lb... Hello to everyone!

Just started C25k Tuesday and finished W1D2 today... it was harder today than Tuesday,but I've ALWAYS wanted to run a 5k... not walk/run, but run/jog!! I'm starting on the treadmill and then will move outside. Do a lot of you do the weeks twice.? or only move on to the next week when you feel ready? Thanks for any input!…

Hi everyone! I'm trying to come back and stay consistent! Missed you all! Summer is here... must get in the pool Have a happy day!

bump :flowerforyou:

Good morning! It really is a beautiful one here... before the storm hits. I've been doing lovely yard work which YES< I do count as exercise... just wish it made my muscles more defined! That pesky storm Andrea is supposed to hit here tomorrow, but then, hopefully, clear Saturday. The whole family, all 12 of us are…

Good Morning partners in healthy lifestyle! Third day of June and I'm sorta back on track... At least I start every day with good intentions! Been doing some good yard work which I love to count as exercise... does all the poison ivy scratching count as exercise too! haha! Love to read all your tales! Have a great day!…

Well, it seems I took a hiatus for the month of May! And now I'm back... started logging my food, went back to the gym, my isn't it hard after two weeks of no exercise??? I tried to push, and take it easy on myself at the same time. Not too sore today, so suppose I ought to head back again! For June... I'm eating healthy…

I love my morning smoothie 1/2 c milk/soy/almond 1/2 c non fat yogurt 1/2 banana 1/2-1 cup frozen berries 1 scoop Whey protein 1 tablespoon ground flax seed. It is filling and yummy. I don't get hungry until lunch, although I try and eat another piece of fruit for a morning snack.

Bump!

Hi everyone! Back from a week in San Diego and can't believe how far behind I am! Hope you all are doing great! Back to "work" here on MFP! Tammy

Happy Saturday everyone! I so look forward to these mornings, especially when the sun is shining. After 25 years of a husband in the Navy often deployed or working on the weekend, I love seeing him at the table with me sharing a cuppa coffee and then heading to the gym together. It hardly gets better than that! Just read…

Good Morning Ladies! Happy to wake up another day and while cooler, it isn't raining. I'll count the little blessings! I was supposed to substitute today for 4th grade but my little dog started having seizures yesterday and is having the every 3 hours... this usually lasts 24 hours and we really can't figure out what…

Good sunny afternoon! Thanks for the encouragement and ideas. I do love to get away with DH, away from work, house, responsibilities... and can't think of a better place to go than San Diego! Think I'll go out and enjoy today's sunshine. Don't think we'll be having sun tomorrow! Keep smiling! I'm grateful for you all and…

Hi Ladies!! I haven't commented in forever, but still loyally logging food and exercise... We were out of town for the whole weekend and the longer I was away from being able to exercise and totally eat right... the easier it was to not do the right thing! I refuse to go near the scale anymore... I just totally hate being…

Carol, When I first started MFP I took their recommendations of 1200 calories a day. It was really frustrating and the scale/my body didn't budge an inch. I talked to a nutritionist and then took a class and took their advice to eat more. I also took their advice to exercise 30 minutes a day... even if it's just marching…

HI everyone! Can someone remind me about a dance exercise video on youtube? Seems like I looked one up last month and can't remember where it is! Thanks! Tammy

Hi everyone! Been a while since I posted. Easter weekend with my daughters home was a blast... although it was much harder to eat what "I'm supposed to!" The last few months I haven't craved anything sweet... they walk in the house and I'm like, "let's make apple pie!" What??? I obviously show love through serving yummy…

Good morning everyone! So glad to see my friends here are still chatting away. It is an amazing morning in southeastern Va... supposed to stay chilly, but it is so sunny! DH has left to go overnight to DC. I was hoping to go with him, but the guys are still here working on my remodeled laundry room, so I'm staying here on…

Dee Dee, Alas, the sun was out for only 2 hours... then an awful cold, wintry, north wind with spitting rain arrived. Looks like old man winter is here for another week! it's hard enough to motivate myself to walk the dog, let alone get a good three miler in!! Night all! Tammy

Robin, I'm glad you're getting help. I'm praying for you and a good counselor. xoxo tammy

The sun came out! The sun came out... yes, we still have a week of cold to look forward to, but the sun makes me happy. Hope you all are off to a great start to the week! Tammy

Happy Sunday everyone! It is sooo cold and rainy and yucky here... thank goodness my sweet DH took our little gal out for a mandatory walk in the rain. She just doesn't like to go in the backyard by herself.... is that spoiled or what!? I am feeling great today! While the scale isn't really moving, suddenly my clothes are…
