I found you again, I have been on vacation and when I got back I replied but it went no where. I missed you all. A big shout out to the newbies, and I hope this finds everyone doing well. The Cayman Islands were beautiful and I had a great time. I swam, snorkeled, rode the skidoo and relaxed. No cell phone, no computer, no…

Hello to All, I'm back and I've missed you. The Cayman Islands are absolutely beautiful and I had a great time. I never touched a computer, cell phone or my I-pad. I snorkeled, swam, did some sight seeing and relaxed. I walked the beaches, watched the sun rise and had the best sea food I've ever had. So, back to work and…

Hello Friends, Sorry it has been a while since I've posted or been on. I have been crazy busy and really look forward to my vacation starting Saturday. I applied for a new position here at my full-time job and am waiting to hear back on it. I loved my job until a year and a half ago when they revamped my duties and gave me…

FYI: To Carol NC or anyone else interested there is a class on Coursera called Nutrition, Health and Lifestyle: Issues and Insights. The courses are free to take if you want to take without getting credit hours and this one starts on 9/15/14. It is a seven week class. coursera.org There are many other free classes as well…

Hi to All, Went to my DD house last night to spend some time with the 3 little DGB's. They are so much fun. Work both jobs today, I am personal training the 76 yr old that started before, quit because she wasn't losing weight and is now back because she has lost all the mobility she gained from working out before. She is…

:wink: Hi Everyone, Have been gone a week or so and know I can't catch up on all the posts but I hope everyone is doing OK. Hello to the new people. I've been trying to work as many hours as possible for extra money to go on vacation. I can't wait to get to the Grand Cayman's. We've had a lot of birthday get togethers and…

Not sure how long you will be in each place or what your interests are but there is more to do in NY and Chicago than can be listed. I am not all that familiar with Detroit/AnnArbor. In NY I'd say to do the obvious, Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center. Just…

Good Morning to all, Wish I had longer to finish reading the posts and to chat but work awaits. They handed our forms yesterday to have everyone fill out saying how long it takes daily to complete the different parts of your job. Sylvia, It is awesome to be a grandparent, they are lucky to have you. I’m glad you have them…

Good Morning to All, I hoep everyone had a pleasant week-end. Here we are back to Monday morning. I'm at work and can't respond back on all the post I've read but prayers to those struggling and shout outs to the successes. I was signed up to take a Livestrong class for two days this week. It is a class on how to personal…

!!!!!! It's Friday. I live for the week-ends and that's sad. Two days away from work and sitting all day at a desk. I do work at the Y on Sunday, in the fitness center. Tomorrow morning is cycling class which I have missed for several weeks now. I worked the entire day yesterday on the quarterly audits and I think I can…

OK, now I jsut want to leave work. I was in very good spirits this morning. My mood is still good but I seem to jave lost all ability to focus on work. I have to say that I am so looking forward to that on-line class, it is titled Nutrition, Health and Lifestyle: issues and Insights. Right now I am taking a class called…

Good Morning All You Awesome People, I feel really good today. Yesterday I worked 9.5 hrs, went home and cut the grass then went in and made dinner, cleaned up the dishes and made lunch for today. I know for a fact that if I work out or get a work out (like mowing) I have more energy, can accomplish more afterwards and my…

Finally, getting ready to get out of work. Had to miss my Y job since balancing and the full time job has to come first. Now home to do some yard work. Margaret, The class sounds really interesting. I love learning and esp. about food, diet and nutrition. Carol NC, Hard call to make, esp. since you know the grandfather but…

Good Morning, It is the first of the month and crazy time here at work so I haven't had time to read or post. I hope everyone is doing well. I work both jobs today and then need to mow my yard, I swear it grows so dang fast. I have signed up for some on-line college classes. The classes are free if you want to take them…

Hello All, It is 9:30 and I have to go out and mow my yard. I never want to do it but once out there I get it done. The Color Run was an experience yesterday, one I'm not sue I'd want to repeat. The twins and I were put on the blue team. First, a little info, the run is a 5k and there are stations set up along the way,…

Hello to All, Just a bump to set my place for this month. Twins are staying the night and we have to be at the Color Run at 6 AM tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing them. We aren't getting together for the birthday's Sunday after all, it will be next Thursday instead. It is 12:15 here and I can't wait until 4:30 today for…

Good Morning to All, So glad it's Weds. but would be even happier if it was Friday. The twins will stay the night Friday because we have to be downtown before six A.M. We work until noon. I'm really hoping we get to color the people, I think that would be so much fun. After volunteering Saturday I have to work at the Y…

Good Morning to All, Back to work today, :sad: so sad. Today is my ab class though so that's good. Tonight I am personal training and then I will get my own strenght training and cardio in. The man who I told you is up for parole, his hearing is Friday. I really hope he doesn't get out. His max was 55 yrs so he can and…

Hello to All, It's Monday and I should be at work, I called off. I'm not sick, if we had personal day's that is what this should have been. I just needed a day to regroup and catch up. Since the week I took off to help my DD with the new baby and my other two DGChildren I feel like I've been behind and a bit frazzled. My…

Hello to All, So glad it's Friday. Just want you all to know that you insire me and keeo me going. I see people writting about good eating and exercise and I think, see this is doable and I want to be successful like these lovely ladies, so thanks bunches. Tonight th DGKids are coming to make cupcakes for tomorrows party.…

Good Morning All, So glad it's Thursday, it is sad to live for the week-end but I do. This Saturday is my DGS's party but nothing else is going on, I plan to get some good work out's in, some cleaning and some yard work if weather permits. I did get the yard mowed last night but that's about it. Many years ago, back in the…

Good Morning to All, I am so excited, I weighed in last night and lost 5 lbs since last Tuesday. I worked hard for that loss and already feel better. I got sluggish and let bad habits creep back into my diet these past 3 months. My bad habits really do cause sluggishness. I know this for a fact. People are different but…

Good Morning All, Today is Tueday and I have ab class at lunch. I love instructing this class and always feel so good when we finish. Tonight I also have a client to personal train. This man is doing really well. The lady I use to train (she is 76) bought another 10 visits from the Y. She said she was going to call me and…

Hello again all, I just picked up some hours at the fitness center in one of the other Y's. I'm so excited about this because I want to stop working the desk and spend more time with the wellness area of the Y. This could be a great opportunity. Had to share. Plus it is extra money to put away for my vacation. Margaret,…

Hi Everyone, I've missed you! I am at work this morning and have only been able to go back two pages. Hello to all the newbies, I've had computer issues and have been really busy. My DD and new baby are both doing well. The 4 and 2 yr old are adjusting and both seem to love little sis, there are flare ups of jealousy but…

Hi, 5-10 in 84 days should be totally doable. I've lost 70 by giving up sugar and flour products. It isn't hard to do if you put your mind to it and are willing to try things you aren't familiar with. Example: I love pizza so now make it by using slices of zucchini as the crust. Good luck, Patty

Hello All, The twins party was a great success. I love those girls so much, they were premature and so tiny when they were born they fit in the same basinet. Now at thirteen they are healthy and taller than me. I got a lot of yard work done yesterday, today I had planned to start with a bike ride but a storm is brewing. I…

Hello to All, It is Saturday morning and I will soon be heading out to mow and trim my yard. This past week has been great but exhausting. I love spending time with my daughter and grandkids and feel truly blessed to have the week watching them, but I am whipped. I have yard and house work to catch up on, food to prep for…

Hello All, I wish I had more time but I'm at work for 45 more minutes and then off to DD and the kids. She is doing well and I think will be OK next week on her own with the kids, but it's still hard to get up and down steps. I have lost 2 lbs this week, just goes to show you running after a 2 and 4 yr old is a great form…

Good Morning All, Today is anothe half day and back to DD's to take care of the kids. They were pretty good yesterday and we got out and took a walk between the rain bouts. DD lives about 30 minutes from me so the hardest part of doing this is driving home at the end of the night after I get the kids in bed. Today I am…
