Hi, I'm Kathrine, This challenge is perfect timing for me. I live in a multi-family home and I am the grandma. We all decided to get back on track after the winter holiday frenzy. Eating healthy meals together and supporting each others exercise efforts. I need this Challenge to be accountable. SW 211.4 CW weigh in 2/27 GW…

Same here. Fit & Active products are my way of eating healthy on a budget. Some products are not up to par. My 10 year old tried the Aldi's brand of Hot Pockets. Well, lets just say, we will stick with Hot Pockets. The Fit & Active brand of Hot Pockets is not bad, I will get them for me.

Happy Mother's Day to all, I didn't walk much. About 2 miles. Played around in yard with grandsons. And chased after a 1 year old granddaughter who is walking. I hope everyone had a great day. I had the greatest day with my boys and their families. I had my sad moments, and we shared those too. But mostly lots of laughs.…

Hi evreryone, I got my walk in today. I had two grandsons with me. One who is 10, on his bike, and the other is almost 3, he walked and rode in the stroller. We walked to DQ for lunch. I looked up the Grilled Chicken sandwich without mayo and that was my pick for lunch and a SF, FF fudge bar. Probably the best fudge bar on…

Hi all you walkers! I finally walked on my day off. I walked 36 minutes, 1.75 miles. Would have made it 2 miles but natured called and there was no bathroom close by. I walked in a very old hilly cemetery. Nice to not deal with traffic. Looking forward to tomorrows walk. Happy walking to all. Be healthy and be strong,…

made it over 10,000 today. yeah! 10,497 steps. I am beginning to understand my fitbit.

Oh yea! I really have fallen in love with the Fit & Active brand at Aldi's. Top notch products and the best prices. A perfect combo for a single parent, trying to eat healthy and lose weight, and feed a growing 10 year boy. He likes the Millville cereals better than the name brands he always begged for. Isn't that great! I…

Aldi's produce is a bargain. You just need to be selective and eat it soon after purchase. It tends to be more ripe. So, munch it, crunch it, steam it, freeze it, it is all good at those low prices.

I hope this thread will give me the incentive to get in those steps on my days off work. Count me in. Just got a new fitbit for mothers day. So I am looking forward to what the day brings tomorrow. One step at a time....... Kathrine from Kansas

I am back, finally, I feel like I have been working for weeks. It has only been 5 days. I did not cardio walk at all. But, I do get plenty of steps in at work. I average about 11,000 each day. Today was 12366, that is 5.85 miles, so says my pedometer. I got a Fitbit for Moms Day. Still trying to figure it out. My goal for…

Hi ladies, It is me again. I thought I would be brave and put my photo up on my profile. I hate my picture taken, so I chose the poppy pic earlier. I have been thinking that when I read through the post, I enjoy see each beautiful lady's photo. Putting a face to the message. So I got brave, had my grandson, take a zillion…

Happy May Day to all you beautiful Women, :flowerforyou: I have been absent lately. Had a change in my work hours, more work load, sitter was on vacation, so no sitter for Gage (before and after school) what a hassle that was, the weather is cold and gloomy, and I am having a heavy heart with grief. I have managed to stay…

Hi to my new walking friend, :flowerforyou: I am in for May,too! I really enjoyed hanging out in April. And it sure did make me accountable for getting those steps in and and the walking workouts too. Looking forward to the comrade and moral support.:bigsmile: By the way, would someone wake up Mother Nature and tell her it…

Hello my walking friends, I am sorry to say, I did not walk today. I woke up with a headache, rushed around to be ready to go to an art auction reception in KC. The storms rolled in, I got a migraine and I canceled the rest of my day. Kudos, to all with your awesome walking goals. I will work the next 3 days so might not…

Good Morning to all you wonderful walkers! I worked yesterday, and always know that on work days, I go get my steps in. I also know it it not the same as a 30 minute or 60 minute brisk pace walk. But, I am pleased that I make it over 10,000 steps a day. 4/25/2014 Total Steps for the day 13,113 Today, I am off work, and it…

Good Morning Lovely Ladies, My work week was really messed up this week. And I missed weigh-in yesterday. So, I weighed in today. And I stayed the same. I had a good week, even with the challenges of packing lunch and dinner for work or eating at work those two meals. We eat with the residents during the meals, and the…

Hi everyone, I did not journal last night. Just too tired. No walking exercise yesterday. Just too tired. I DID work an 13 hour shift and walked 14,611 steps. That is what made me tired. Starting in May, my work day changes to a 10 hour day. I am truly looking forward to that, even though it adds another work day in my…

Hi everybody, Just marking my spot. A long, long day at work. When I am gone for a few days, and come back, I kinda feel like I am in the wrong thread. lol Boy, things hop around here. I sure do like to see how all is doing. I went to the Griefshare counselor. It went well. I will see her each week until the group starts…

Hello Walkers! I worked today, so no walking exercise today. I worked 12.5 hours and on my feet all day. So, I do get the steps in. Today total steps: 14,537 boy, am I tired. Good night. Be healthy and strong Kathrine from Kansas

Hi everyone, just popping in to record my total steps for the day. When I looked at my pedometer i was a little disappointed. I should have worn my pedometer with my PJ's around the house this morning. I bet I would have racked up the 500 steps I am short. todays total steps: 9,554 And that was going to Walmart this…

Hello Beautiful Ladies, Popping in to say hi. I am on the run doing errands and some appts. Wishing everyone a great Monday and the best of luck for a great week. I had a great walk this morning at my favorite walking place. The Rotary Arboretum. A very pretty, quiet and flat sidewalk kind of place. Walked 2 miles today.…

Hello Happy Walkers, I just signed up for a walking tour of Old West Lawrence gardens in June. This is sponsored by the local Master Gardeners Club. I am really looking forward to that. Now, I am going to investigate when the local Alzheimer's Assoc. is planning their fundraising walk. I want to gather some friends and…

Good Morning all you walkers, I walked this morning outdoors at my favorite place. The Rotary Arboretum. Flat, 95% sidewalk, real pretty with ponds, native grass, flowers and trees. The trees are young so there is not much shade in the summer. And of course, here in Kansas the wind can get a little crazy. But today was…

Good Morning to all, I had my morning to myself and it is such a beautiful day, i decided to explore a walking trail. It is close t my house. First, thing I wanted to know, how far from my house was the a trail entrance. Answer- approx. 1.5 miles. 2nd question. how long is the walk from that trail entrance to the trail…

Hi to everyone, Wishing you a Happy Easter, a glorious Spring Day, a many happy memories with your family and friends. I read in a little Diabetic Healthy booklet something you all would find interesting, I am sure. I tried to scan it, and post it, scanning I did, it was the posting part that confused me. So here it is…

Hi Rebamae and everyone else, Count me in, too! Just started walking a couple weeks ago. My April goal is to walk 3 days of the week. 30 minutes each time. I have been doing pretty good. But I can feel the "I can walk tomorrow" excuse creeping in to my head. So, this is the perfect thread for me. Walked today 30 minutes…

Hello Beautiful Ladies, Just popping in to see what is going on today. My last LONG day at work, 13,445 steps worth! Looking forward to my days off. Even looking forward to doing some outdoor walking. Really tired, need to finish my food diary. Will catch up tomorrow. Be strong & healthy women. Kathrine from Kansas April…

Good Evening Beautiful Ladies, Well, I am finally home, after a 12+ hour day at work. Home in time to catch up my food diary, say hi, and say good night. Looking at another long day tomorrow. Meg - I have experienced a similar situation a few years back. First, everyone was in a state of shock, mixed with fear. I really…

Hi to all, just popped in to say I had a great day at work. 12,202 steps, 8 cups of water, ate healthy all day and night. And contacted a griefshare group. Thank you, to the beautiful ladies who encouraged me to seek a grief support group. Will keep all posted on how that goes. I joined my first MFP "Group"; 40 Week…
