I just weighed in and the scale said 175.8. Not even 179 or 178, I'LL TAKE IT. I went for a walk instead of the Nu-Step for today. Now to get back to reading. Marianne WV

I don't think I will ever get caught up but I am trying. Trying to take it easy this morning as I have 2 MRI's this afternoon-brain & elbow. Now to fin some motivation for the day. Have to go to the health center for my weekly weigh in and hopefully some treadmill walking as it's wet outside. Diaries-I've never owned one &…

Love these 2 sayings Machka9. They are so true. I seem to be slow to start and then go in several directions. So glad that I live alone and don't answer to anyone. Have a lot of reading to do but a little at a time. I will only eat Strawberry Twizzlers. Have a great day. Marianne-WV

Hello ladies. Well it snowed yesterday here in West Virginia. Plowable snow but nothing like Rochester,NY snow. I have a lot of reading to do as I was on page 15 when I went to bed a couple of nights ago. Had a couple of HB eggs this morning.Now I have to get up the energy to go to the health center for my exercise. Have a…

Good evening everyone! Now that the holidays are over we can ALL get back on track. I am going over to the health & wellness center tomorrow to sign up for the next 3 months. We shall see if I go there 6 days a week. They even have an indoor swimming pool. Lot of money to dish out. I have not made any lists or special…

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I decided to start the year off right by getting on here early. My weight goal for this year is 50 lbs and keep it off. I plan on 5 lb. increments for my goals. I love red wine vinegar/oil for dressing salads but haven't found a good recipe for one. Taking 1 day at a time. Christmas decor. are…

Happy thanksgiving to everyone. Don't eat too much.Marianne-WV

Well good morning. Had a rough two days. Not sure what to expect today or tomorrow. Can be so sad. Holidays don't have the same meaning now as 35-40yrs. ago. I did not even come close calorie wise(under ate) and there I was looking at the dinner and realized how much of the food was carbs. Menu will be different for the…

Good evening everyone. The weekend is in full swing. Went to my granddaughter's basketball game.Not much else going on. I did have a hot dog at game for lunch. Supper was just noodles. I was within my goal range when I had celery with cream cheese and picante sauce. It was delicious. I've always loved celery but it's…

Hi everyone, My day is just beginning but I walked for 45 min. this morning and noticed that my thighs aren't rubbing together when I walk. YEAHHH!!!!!!!NSV. Now to get through lunch-Free meal Friday at the senior center. Open roast beef sandwich, potatoes,peas and applesauce cake with milk or water.

Hi everyone, Was a good day today. I was bad with lunch. The next week is going to be crazy. Granddaughters have 1/2 day of school tomorrow and all next week off & guess who's babysitting them? Yep, me. Along with play dress rehearsals all week as the play opens Friday at 7. I am going to have to find time to make salads…

Well, I ended up with a ham sandwich for supper. Play practice went longer than it was supposed to but the play starts next Friday. It is going to be rough until then as I have to get her there as parents have to work. I still went over, not by much. Now to see what tomorrow brings . Marianne-WV

Machka, I don't prelog my food as every day can be different and I'm on the go a lot of time. I have started weighing my food in the last month with a scale. Thgvg is Thanksgiving abbreviation. Salads were iceberg, carrots, cucumbers, sometimes onions,celery & cherry tomatoes when I grew them-sweet vidalia onion dressing…

Just made my diary public. Thanks for your help. Marianne-WV

Good evening everyone. I am very frustrated with myself. Have been watching the food I put in my mouth and have been eating a lot of salad. No matter how hard I try I go over the 1200 calories. Have been trying to cut down on sugar. Do any of you have suggestions for me to try? Tomorrow will be tough as I'm going to DGD…

Good evening. Not much going on here. I am getting frustrated with my meals. It seems like no matter what I do I go over my limits. Sometimes it is only 10 or 20 calories but I have seen it go over 500 calories. I do measure and weigh my stuff but not religiously. I'm getting better. I was at my son's today and never went…

Good afternoon everyone: Hope all is well. Thought I slept in today and realized it was only 7 a.m.(usually up by 6) Took a walk9longer than usual) as it was nice and quiet. Only saw 1 car the entire hour I was gone. Made it back to Church and now want to do some baking. Can't find the motivation. Have a great night.

Hi everyone. Hope you are having a great Saturday. I have gone to the health center for my weekly weigh in and scale said I was DOWN .4 lbs. I'll take it as I've come down with the barking cough again and so this coming week I amm on extra prednisone and antibiotics along with new medicine for the nebulizer. Just going to…

Hello, Today was not a productive day as I sat until 3 p.m. waiting for a return phone call about my elbow. Have had pain for about 4 weeks now. I put all my weight on it to scoot back from the edge of the mattress one night. The bones are fine. I think it's the muscles or tendons. Frustrating for sure. I have been good…

Hi everyone! Thought I'd check in early today. Well, it seem as if holidays have changed over the last 50 yrs. I remember family holidays together growing up, where everyone chipped in. You didn't hear about people being alone. I know the early yrs. my husband and I would take the kids to both sides of the family. My DIL…

Hello everyone, Today was veteran's day with free offers all around. Sub from Subway(for tomorrow), buffet from Ponderosa, salad, green beans, mashed potatoes and that was it there. Then had free movie, $1/game for bowling and free i.c. cone. Then onto Sheetz for a sub, 16 oz fountain drink with LOTS of ICE and free…

Good morning everyone. It's Saturday and time to get started. Have to go shopping and plan out my meals this week. Hope everyone Has a great weekend.

Hi everyone. Just did all my additions on my fitness pal and have gone over like 30 calories and that is WITHOUT dinner. Guess I will be drinking water until bed. Tomorrow is weigh in day. It seems like we get 4 pages every day from readers.

Hi e.veryone, Sitting here watching Pioneer Woman episodes. Today I went for mini walk and then walked the complex with manager(she's on scooter because of broken ankle). Made tuna noodle casserole this afternoon for lunch and supper. Monday I am going to have to be picky as there are lots of freebies for veterans(which I…

Hello everyone! Janet r-Happy birthday Janet-Sorry to hear about your sister. I did make it to the Health center and used the nu-step machine for 15 minutes. I tried the new treadmills and had to jump off as it sped up. I don't know why but will find out. I got lazy this morning and didn't get my walk in. Large salad for…

Good evening. Not much happening here. I do have to say that I have had a VERY HARD time resisting candy from grandchildren or the office. I know I shouldn't be eating it but it goes the mouth anyways. I did record it and still had over 400 calories in my plan. I'm looking for new recipes to make just to break the boredom.…

Good evening everyone!! Not a good night sleeping, up every 2 hrs. Finally got up at 8, which my phone said it was 9. So, I started the day. Granddaughter came here for the day as she had play practice and M&D&Sis were going to a city 1 1/2 hrs. away and wouldn't make it back in time. So I got to do it. Karen-Congrats on…

Cari-Congratulations on that weight loss. Getting ready for my granddaughter's last soccer game. It frosted here last night but it looked like snow when I first opened the blinds. Did my Sat. weigh in and I am DOWN .8 lbs for a total of 8 lbs. I originally had been down 40 but gained 30 back. I've been trying to lose for a…

Good morning. Hope it is a good day for all of you. I am going to TRY to get to the gym today as it $2/senior day. I figure I have to start somewhere. Have been logging my food but going over. Not by much though. I'm hoping the granddaughter is going to school today or my plans will be shot. Going to find a farmers market…

Happy birthday Kay! Marianne WV
