Good morning Ladies! I am happy to report that 2 pounds of the 2 1/2 gained are gone. Today I will do yoga and treadmill. I am enjoying the cooler weather, yesterday I had the windows open most of the day. I baked an acorn squash last night. Hubby said the girl at that checked him out at the store didn't know what it was.…

Hello Ladies, After brunch yesterday I am up 2.5 lbs so I am back to portion control. I had a crazy calorie burn with all of my exercise plus housework today. I also plan to go outside and take up my spring/summer garden decorations. It is a gorgeous day today. Joyce, I love So You Think You Can Dance too, I don't see all…

Hello Ladies, Busy day. We went to church, then to brunch. I've skimmed the posts. This is a busy thread! I just want to add that I'm an avid fan of DWTS. I'm not a dancer or singer but I do love ve the Arts! Some of my family were wonderful singers, I did not inherit that talent, bur I do love everything about theatre and…

Just popping in for a minute during half time of the football game. (OU vs W Virginia) You go Barbie! Weights are so good for you. I love the graphic! Michele, you amaze me with everything you get done in one day! Have a good night everyone! Cindy in OK

Happy Saturday Ladies, My knee is better today. I think iceing it yesterday helped. Will do it again today. Today I did strength training for upper body. It is time to change my workout again so I need to sit down and work that out. I also walked Brian, did some treadmill, I started with yoga. I've slacked off on that and…

Hello everyone, I missed a few days and wow! We are a chatty group! Today I did 30 minutes of more jogging than walking with Brian. Then I added 15 more minutes on the treadmill. We went to the state fair Wednesday, I walked steadily for nearly 2 1/2 hours, left hip and right knee were sore! I had knee surgery on my right…

Hello Ladies, Today I did strength training for chest and back, treadmill, and a short walk with puppy Brian. I have a one pound gain so I need to cut back on the splurges of bread and that 2nd glass of wine at night. Back to measuring out those 2 oz pours. On the subject of home cooked food, I grew up on a small farm and…

Good morning Ladies, Just popping in to say hello. I will do treadmill this morning and then some housework. I am making wonderful progress on my drawing, I have 32 hours in. This is a busy week for me so I won't have a lot of time to devote to it. My brother's birthday is mid November so I still have time! Have a great…

Hello Ladies, It is a gorgeous day today. I had a nice mix of exercise today. Short walk with puppy Brian, strength training for arms and legs, then treadmill. I need it after splurging last week. All of the windows are open and the breeze is wonderful. I plan to work on my Grandmothers drawing this afternoon. Mimi, my…

Hi everyone! I had a lazy day today. I didn't work out. I made brunch for me and Hubby, took a nap then we went to church and out to dinner. I will be back at it tomorrow. Michele, no trick to the lentil quinoa soup. I just added 1/2 cup of quinoa to the Barefoot Contessa's recipe and omitted the sausage. Rather than try…

Good morning Ladies, It is cool and rainy here today. High in the 50's! Today I did 31 minutes on the treadmill. I don't have to cook much today since I made a big pot of soup yesterday. It is a lentil-quinoa soup. I adapted the recipe from the Barefoot Contessa's lentil sausage soup which is divine! I never add sausage…

Good afternoon everyone, I took a rest day yesterday. Hubby and I went to lunch then some shopping. I did not eat healthy, but did not eat a lot. I did enjoy every bite and sip. We gave Puppy Brian a bath today. He has some poodle mixed in with Maltese. I wish my hair curled like his! He does not like the hair dryer, he…

Happy Monday Everyone, Hubby and I had a wonderful day yesterday. I splurged all weekend enjoying food and wine. My 1/2 pound lost is gained again. Don't really care though, we had beautiful weather and yummy food. Today I am back at it, doing strength training and treadmill. Soft blond, stuffed peppers sound delish. I may…

Hello ladies, Grrrrr, I had a long post done and just lost it! Today I did strength training then DH wanted pancakes. After breakfast I got on the treadmill for awhile. Later we are going to church and then to this gourmet pizza place for dinner. They have wonderful pizza, salads and yummy desserts. Did I mention good…

Sylvia, love the joke!

Hi again, I forgot to mention that I uploaded the photo of my Grandmother that I am drawing now to my profile page. I think this was taken in the late 1950's or maybe 1960's. She was born in 1899 and has dark hair in the photo. She is wearing saddle shoes and they were popular at that time. I am improvising on the barn a…

Hello Lades! I hope all of you have a wonderful Friday. Today I did 35 minutes on the treadmill. I'm still maintaining the 14 pound loss. I have been pushing it some by having bread and wine in the evening. So far, so good. Michele, I would check into some vegan recipes. The Happy Herbivore web site has a lot of choices. I…

Hello Ladies, Today I did strength training for arms and legs. Treadmill is next. Michele, I'm glad Lexi's numbers were good! Kim, a pretty package doesn't make a person pretty. A mean spirit cancels that out. You are God's masteiece! I'm glad you've made peace with your Mom's remarks. My Mom was beautiful and also very…

Good morning Ladies, We had a wonderful day yesterday. We went out to lunch and then some shopping for our puppy Brian. I went over calories but will even that out today with exercise and mindful eating. DeeDee, Brian is precious. He is recovering from his dental nicely. Last night he went to his room without a fuss at all…

Bumping Ladies. Busy day today. Wishing everyone a great start to your week.

Hello Everyone, Did 30 minutes on the treadmill plus yoga and a short walk with the pup. Barbie, thank you for the new thread, that is a lovely graphic. Cynthia, my heart goes out to your fur baby, I will be thinking of you and him. Alison, yay for your successful shopping! Sylvia, I hope your bug bites get better. Welcome…

Michele, I would add some kind of beans if this is a main dish salad. Sometimes I will put a soft cheese and walnuts in my salads too, adding calories as I go so I don't go too far. I'm so glad you heard from Brian! Cindy in OK

Good morning everyone! I just finished my strength training for arms and legs. Treadmill is next. We really enjoyed Phantom of the Opera. They said this is a new production. It was fabulous! The sets, costumes, special effects and of course the music were really first class. Brian and our old pug girl are getting along.…

Good morning Lovely Ladies! Brian did great at the vet yesterday. He has antibiotics and pain meds. He got up today bouncing and dancing. He is such a happy little boy. Thank you all for your well wishes! Meg, Michele and Barbie, thank you! I don't have much time this morning to post. We are going to see Phantom of the…

Good morning Ladies! I hope all do you have a great weekend. Today I did strength training for chest and back. Next on to the treadmill. Yanniejannie, I'm so sorry for all that your family has been through. I lost a cousin to suicide using a gun his mother owned. Jane, sending healing thoughts for your son. Barbie, our…

Good afternoon Ladies Just stopping by to let you know I figured out how to get our puppy's photos loaded upright. He got his shots today. He is getting his dental tomorrow. He needs at least 2 teeth pulled, poor baby! I think he will feel so much better once this is done. I will be making sure his teeth get brushed as…

Good morning Ladies! I see that a few of us had a blah day yesterday. My whole day wasn't bad, our little fur baby is adjusting beautifully and had a great night. Thank you all for the encouragement and kind words, they really helped. Thank you for the kind words. Jan, Kim, Michele, Rori and everyone I missed. I looked up…

Hi everyone! We had a nice night with our new fur baby. He didn't cry much so we got some sleep. He is the cutest and sweetest little guy. He is settling in nicely. Strange that he brought a new wave of grief for my little guy I lost. Please tell me I'm not crazy and that this is menopause! I know these things pass, I'm…

Hi Ladies! We are back at home with our fur baby. His is 6 or 7 pounds of white fluff. He wants to sit in your lap, not next to you. Old pug girl and he don't want much to do with each other yet. He is having fun checking out the house and yard now. He just discovered one of the toys I showed hm earlier. I will post a pic…

Kayzoola, I'm so sorry about your Mother. Hugs and prayers for you. Cindy in OK
