I am definitely a serial starter. I think I am start number 5 right now. I figured loosing weight was cheaper then buying larger clothes again. I started again first part of December when I tried to wear one of my long sleeved white blouses and it was to tight over the stomach. I"m down almost 10 pounds since then and wore…

My desk at work. I work at a law firm so no photo available as I have open files at my desk

I have an in-person 5K on November 6. Provided restrictions don't increase again in the fall and it's cancelled. It will only be my second on this year. There has been other local ones, but they are Sundays and I do not race on Sundays. My next big on is my virtual BOSTON marathon. Only way I will ever be able to do…

This is so me!!! I call my extreme weight gain in the past year my "pandemic not-running" weight gain. Instead of stress-running I've been stress-eating. Buying the larger size clothes has cost me a lot and made me stress-eat more. I've been getting better this week, but I need to keep at it. Seeing the scales Sunday at…

I did some searching and found this group I am only 42 and believe with some signs I am seeing, I am perimenopause. I am seeing changes in my monthly (not so monthly now) cycle and a lot of weight gain. I need some support and help.

Jenny - I run it on my own in my own area. My Garmin tracks my run. My Garmin is connected to phone and my runs are uploaded on the app there. I would then send them in the screen shot off of my app that shows I did it.

I got in!!! I'm running the virtual BOSTON MARATHON!!!!! They opened the virtual to 70,000 people - no qualifying times required. That means everyone like me, who has no hope of ever running it in person tried. We crashed the website right at the time that the registration opened. It took 25 minutes and refreshing and…

Jenny, sorry to hear your having issues with your family. I know how hard that can be. When my Uncle Garth died last year, we heard it third party. They never called my dad or my Aunt Joyce - Aunt Norma (his widow) only two surviving siblings. I had a race!! A real race! It was definitely different from the way we had to…

Jenny - They are now saying with more vaccinations coming up, everyone that wants it will have their first dose by the end of June. My body is feeling the fitness routine I am forcing it back into. I have a dull ache all over. It's a combination of that and being over 40 I think. Yesterday and today I ran on my lunch…

Jenny, I havenèt been doing much of anything all winter. Blame the pandemic. I am. It will be a bit yet before I qualify for a vaccine. They are at 80+ for the general public. I tried to go for a walk/run today. It snowed yesterday. The sidewalks weren't clear. I ended up turning back and only did 1km, Did an indoor…

Met Wesley. He's my loveable cuddle bug.

Realized you ladies haven't met my new friend. Met Wesley. I adopted him from a local shelter in July. He's 10 months old now. He's a total brat but a total lovebug! We got snow today. Ugh. Winter wanted one last hurrah before the first day of spring tomorrow. No running today. The sidewalks aren't cleared yet. I need to…

Hi Ladies I need to get back on this and keeping track at what I eat. I need to be eating better. I need to stop eating so much junk food. I need to work out. I need to get back running. I feel overweight and out of shape. I've been buying larger size clothing, including running clothes. I've been running for 6 1/2 years…

Hi ladies- trying to get on the wagon yet again, I hired a running coach so that's been helping me some! At least I'm getting my runs in! I did something else to help as well - I signed up for my second full marathon!!! I will be doing it virtually. The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon was cancelled on Monday. It…

Today is very busy at work TWELVE closings today. I'm happy tomorrow is Canada Day and a day off! I will have earned it! On the weekend I hired a running coach. I hope it gives me back my love for running. I need to get out and run because I love to run. Usually race and medals are my motivation and I have none. (I'm not…

Jenny - move is frustrating! I’ve done it enough and have no intention to move any time soon! I’m just one person to move. I can’t imagine moving an entire house, more people and moving states (or provinces if it were here) In get to have an IN PERSON Sunday School class today!! I’m so excited! To keep it at 50, my class…

Jenny - all the best to you!! One of the paralegals I frequently talk to retired today. We are down to ONE active case in the province! Just a single one! I really hope that we don't have new cases from the protests. It's just getting to the two-week mark from them. We are getting into the time frame where they said we…

I think I need to give up on the app on my phone. I keep trying to post there and it freezes, kicks me off and I lose my post. It's happened a few times! Nova Scotia is at 8 straight days of NO new cases! We only have 2 active cases and both are in hospital. That means no active cases in the community! I hope we can keep…

I work from home Monday to Wednesday and in the office Thursday and Friday. I hope to be back fully in soon. Summer is upon us and property is really starting to pick up. Thing in our province are starting to open back up! Places that were ordered to close can reopen June 5. That means I can get a massage! I just need to…

Hi ladies. I’ve been struggling so much lately. I just want this whole isolation and working from home to be over. I want things back to normal. Cases here are going down. Most of them are in the care homes, one in particular. There are areas in the province with no current cases, and are calling for our premier to open…

Jenny - I don’t know how to ride a bike! Plus the only way to get there is on the highway. In Nova Scotia it’s illegal to walk or bike on the side of the highway. I ran yesterday. First in a week. Sitting her telling myself to go when work is done. I’m trying to pep talk myself. Not working very well. Yesterday was…

Runs so far this week - 0 I just can't get myself out the door. I wanted to last evening when I got home, but I saw so many people out walking, way more the normal, I didn't want to. I didn't want to be dodging people on my run. I'm hoping to get out this evening -in the rain. Maybe there won't be as many people out due to…

Hi ladies. Thankfully my family and friends are safe with what happened here in my home province. He did get really close to some family including my parents. My first run after it happens had me jumping when the first few cars went by me. I never imagined Canada’s worse mass shooting would happen in my province. I’m…

Hi Ladies. I haven't been on where for a while. Usually do to kill time at work, but since I haven't been in the office much, I haven't come on! I'm working from home 3 days a week and in the office 2 days a week. I'm in 3 days a week this week as we have multiple closings today. Things are getting hard. I missing my…

Yesterday I had my first "Work at home" experience. I learned NOT to try to sign into the VPN program to connect to my computer at work, until my computer is fully booted up! It took nearly 15 minutes before I could get my computer working and get signed in. My computer at home is slower, most likely due to my internet…
