last night had to turn to the ol' Kendall Jackson :blush: home life was filled with too much emotion and pressure...so I had to seek relief. Just keeping it real :smile: Today I have been hungrier than usual - think it was the wine? ugh - of course. Keeping track of all intake today - will be higher than normal (goal) but…

Hi Gals! Feel better canadjineh! Colds can be a huge bummer :'( jreneecal - I am in it with ya sister! let's do this! never ever give up! B) feeling great today. went for a 3.5 mile run - cardio always makes me feel good....plus it's like a facelift - lol - after sweating and then splashing cold water on my face my skin…

anyone out there in menopause?....teeheehee or just looking for support? :) lost a couple pounds - yehah!

How sad! I just looked at my profile and I started MFP when I was 54 - I just turned 56 a couple days ago. It's been way too long since I have been here. Fell off the wagon, bumped my head and lost track of my goals - lol. The bright side - I am about 5 lbs lighter than when I first started....the not so bright...I have…

THURSDAY - where has the week gone!?? this week has flown by - maybe because all of the unpacking, organizing, house stuff that has been taking place. Had a good run this morning at a park w a small lake - went around the lake three times - it was very "naturey". :happy: Went a bit over (way over) on the food yesterday -…

Its TUESDAY! yawho! nice run this morning - 6 miles - ran 90% and walked 10%. felt great. took my DD to lunch today and shopped a bit - a fun day. JOSPARKLE - yikes! I feel like I will be in the same boat 7 years from now -lol. just wanted to check in quick - off to show a couple houses (realtor here :) ) tata for now! Jill

ITS A MANIC MONDAY! hello gals! sorry I have been MIA. We moved - and sooooooooooo much packing and organizing - ugh. Plus, we are building a house and taking care of those details at the same time kept me busy busy busy. however, I was tracking my foodies :) and trying to remain (fairly) good. JOSPARKLE - thank you for…

THURSDAY! note to self - when I run/walk w my GF in the morning I need to do more exercise later that day - lol. seems like a good workout - but calories burned are only around 300, and that ain't gonna cut it :laugh: :noway: recorded allllll of my DH birthday calorie eats yesterday - right down to the piece of turtle pie…

We did exercise every day on vacation - long distance biking, dune hiking and running. I exercised every day to help "maintain" - because I did partake in ice cream (yummy!!!) and some wine while on vaca. gotta keep it real :love: maybe your little gain is water weight? sometimes changes climates can do that. if you…

it is such a mind war! WTG!

HAPPY HUMP DAY ALL! just weighed in and I am a happy camper! lost .5 and that's after 2 weeks on vacation (and an awesome sweaty WO this morning) I knew better than to weigh in until I had been back on track for a couple days - whew. now I am extra motivated. todays DH birthday so I will have to carefully plan my dinner…

Have fun! I love love love s'mores! especially around a campfire! nothing like it!

Hello gals! back from up north and crazy busy - so a quickie check in! hope all is well w everyone - will take a bit to read up on posts :) planning my day and week. back to clean, good, healthy, weight-losing foods! more later... jill

awesome! Just gettin it done is the most difficult part sometimes.

HELLO GALS!! Up north and loving it - well, loving the getaway part - it's kinda like fall up here right now .....cloudy and mid 60's . Argh. Was hoping for Lake Michigan beach time. Oh well, girls and I will enjoy it despite mother natures bad calls. JOSPARKLE - I know for a fact "stomping around " burns calories. :)…

oooooo I love that too! no tips on potatoes either :( JOSPARKLE - glad you feel better! PEPPAH - I try to keep my total grams of carbs to 100grams or less. that seems to help me with water retention (having less of it) great WO for me this morning. day to be spent on packing for our trip tomorrow. yippee! I will check in…

WTG Karen! I absolutely HATE burpees! lol "jumping" isn't something that is conducive to having had a couple kids :noway: and being 54 - lol

THURSDAY IS HERE! (but it's rainy :sad: ) started w an hour walk w a friend and just finished 3.5 run. think I will weigh myself today - could be bad :noway: house stuff today - meeting a colorist to select the exterior trim and shake color for our house and chat about interior colors. finally getting excited about the new…

ONTO WEDNESDAY! great workout - the hour flew by! have had a couple days of not so clean eating, but am back on track (and company gone - lol - that helps) and have all of my food planned for the day... low carb, high protein and moderate fat.

not private :)

HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE! **sprinto50 - that sounds like a great workout! I never realized fencing warm-ups involved all that leg work. awesome! **liana - hi! :happy: **deetee- -no worries...live and learn :flowerforyou: **josparkle - WTG on the belt size! **jreneecal - will you come to my house and weed - I hate weeding…

I wish there was a "like button" too on MFP! Thanks for sharing the great recipes and tips gals!

HELLO MONDAY! I am having a twilight zone moment - I swear I posted yesterday and said "happy fathers day" to those w DH....but I don't see my post (head scratch) maybe this is a senior moment - lol anywayyyy JOSPARKLE - I hope you feel better soon! that stinks when the "back" is in pain. hope everyone enjoyed their…

ITS SATURDAY AND ITS SUNNY! YEAH! just got back form a great 6+mile run (well 6.40 to be exact :laugh: ) downed a yummy green smoothie and then onto the day! needed that run - cause I too ate more carbs than usual - reduced fat wheat thins to be exact - too mucgh sugar in those things - they are addicting! especially when…

Yes, 80/20 - 80% what we eat and drink and 20% from exercise. I think that's why during menopause we can exercise the same amount "we used to" and eat the "same we used to" but don't lose weight (any longer). our bodies now longer "burn off the partying we did last night" :laugh: I was an avid wine drinker until MFP and…

FRIDAY! RENAE - I am with ya! thanks for arriving! have a great weekend! NILLALIS - I hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou: DD last day of school today. thank goodness I had a hard workout this morning, as our tradition for the last day of school is to have ice cream for lunch. and I counted every calorie :smile: it's a…

you are doing great! wow! keep in mind it's about YOU :happy: - if you can't find additional time (which can be hard to do) to walk again - ditch your friends :smile: :smile: take ITunes as your "friend" - I find music is such a motivator. yes, eat more protein - it will keep you fuller and help to build muscle. I don't…

Welcome Kanasas- KM! sounds like you have had a tough row to hoe. :heart: so glad you are here. for foods "easier to digest" - have you tried green smoothies w protein powder added to them? for example - fruit blended w kale or spinach, a scoop of protein powder and crushed ice. that way you would have fruit, some green…

LOVE IT! the most important part :love: thanks for the recipe!

ROFLMAO! can so relate!! :laugh: you did conquer something though - you tamed the "stuff" in that bad boy freezer chest!:bigsmile:
