Hi cool kids!!!! It's been a very good week for me. Lots of NSVs, eating very well, back to exercising!! I bought a new toy. I hope my husband puts it together this weekend. I can't wait to use it. Happy Friday evening!! Make healthy choices this weekend!

Nadler, that is a wonderful problem to have!!!! Have s great time!!!! Cookies?!?!?! Who said cookies?!?! I avoid GS cookies like the plague!!!

Nice!!! Keep up the good work!! I wished I had the time today to be outdoors for a nice walk. The day was so beautiful, low 80's!!!! I'm in South Central Texas. Beeps, good goal!!! I've been pretty successful lately not eating past 7pm. Good job!! Good night!

Impressive!!! Good job!!

Hello everyone!!!! It's been s great week as far as my nutrition is concerned, I've been pretty active everyday but with modifications. I'm feeling pretty good though. Allenpriest, wow, that's such an adventure!!!! Kimiu, have s great time skiing!!!

Good morning! Upper body-DONE!!!! All meals for today are prepped. It's going to be a nice day! Kimmi and Allenpriest, trips are good motivators to get in shape. Have fun!!! We are waiting for our passport renewals to arrive in the mail. We are in need of another cruise. :) :) Have a wonderful day!!!

Beeps, thanks for asking. I'm feeling better, eager to be able to get back to being myself but I need to be patient. In the meantime I'm focusing on eating healthy. I ate under 1600kcal today but I'm sooo stuffed!!!! @c_l_phillips72, welcome! Those are some injuries! I like your positive attitude. Regarding eating better…

@justsaynyet, welcome!!! I love sweets as well and that is definitely what derails my plan to lose. What helps me the most is to keep it out if my house!!!! LOL Fortunately I tend to be the one that either buys or makes the sweets (I love to bake) so since I'm struggling to lose the Holiday gain I've controlled myself…

Wow! Impressive! Keep up the good work!

Great to hear from you again!!! I'm glad you are doing well!!! What is that diet you are doing?

Neal, you are so right. But it does feel great to lose 3lbs in a week. It's usually short lived especially if one is close to the goal. @ZeroTX, we are a bunch of cool 40+ kids who like to take care of ourselves by eating healthy and exercising. Come on in and join the conversation. @kimiuzzell, I love working out with…

Gam, I know shoveling is a lot of work but I just love love love the pictures!!! Your dog looks so happy! :) I miss working out so much. I'm doing something tomorrow for sure!!!! My toe looks ok, not limping anymore. It's still raw and don't want to re-open the wound. Neal, good planning!!!

Allenpriest and others, glad to hear you weren't affected greatly by the storm. I'm in south Texas so the winter here has been great so far, low mid 30-40 and high in the 60s-70s. We can't complain... Thanks everyone! I feel better today, I haven't been limping much and the wound is drying up some. It's pretty ugly though.…

Hey everyone!!!! Lots of motivated cool kids here!!!! Well, the procedure went well. Doc was happy to see that there wasn't a lot of bleeding. She said I have layers of old nail she had to remove. Yikes!! She cleaned it pretty well. I'm a little nervous about removing the gauze. I have to in about an hour. Welcome to the…

Hello everyone! I was able to do an early Bikram class since my husband was off. Double workout tomorrow morning before I get a toenail removed in the afternoon. Ouch!! Who knows how long that will set me back. On sick leave the rest of the week to rest. I bought lots of healthy foods to focus on healthy eating while I…

Hey everyone!!!! I got sidetracked from posting. Great to see so many of you working so hard at getting healthy!! Cheers!!!! I've kept up with my exercises, I even did Bikram twice this week! My nutrition has been really good. I am doing IF this week, 16:8. I've done it before with great success but it's a little…

Good morning!!! I've been logging my calories and steady on my workouts. Feeling energized! Good to see all these posts! Keep up the great work!!!

Joy, congrats for a job well done!!!! I'm glad to hear that your Dr didn't push the medications. You must feel very proud. My husband was told early last year that he was pre-diabetic and that scared the crap out of him. He too decided to eat better and has lost close to 60lbs. He is no longer pre-diabetic, all his tests…
