Kudos Tam! You are truly an inspiration but more than that you are a friend to so many who need one and you have an awesome sense of humor! Now I have to go find that darn recipe everyone keeps touting!:flowerforyou:

If you are doing well and think well maybe a day won't matter. Think again! One day led to another, I stopped walking, stopped logging and the price of complacency is high. I went from 160 to 178 over a 3 month period. Don't let this happen to you! I will fight back to where I was but I know it will take time and it just…

Hi MM, thanks for thinking of me. It is nice to know someone else cares. Vivia, I hope your strike doesn't last much longer. You can get your exercises in, I know you can! Mary, sounds like you had a killer workout. I know I can't lift that much. My daughter is going to let me use her bowflex during the week. What is…

False, though that would be nice. T or F The person below me really didn't log ALL their food today...

Hi all, Today was a total loss. I got back from my Mom's late yesterday. I don't find out anything about the biopsy until the 13th. So I tend to drink caffeine at my mom's coupled with little sleep and crappy food, I needed today collapse and reenergize. Well tomorrow will be my moment of truth, I am getting on the scale…

Last on as usual, oh well. I went out with my oldest daughter and snowshoed up the hill and we then proceeded to snow shoe up and down a hill to pack down the snow so we could go sliding. So I felt entitled to the hot cocoa my middle daughter made us. I took her dog out and spent 1/2 hour telling him to let go of my coat…

Last two days it was too cold to go out. I settled for a little house work. Also just finished the last of the years parties. Way to many of them. But I am getting my waters in and eating better today. I know I gained alot of weight over the holiday but that was my own poor choices and I'm going to own them. I will just…

I know the feeling. :flowerforyou: I got complacent, stopped walking, then Christmas and New Years came. I got on the scale and it was just what I thought, bad!:noway: I'm trying to work up the courage to log in the weight but I know when I see the ticker I am just going to cry.:embarassed: But I am not going to give up, I…

Going to a friends house to have supper and play cards. A couple of drinks maybe for the new year. Not much in the way of exercise here.:sad: I have to find a way to get moving.:sad: Happy New New Years everyone!

Myy goals are simple: 1) lose 1 lb a week till I'm in the normal bmi 2) cut out sugar and white flour 3) increase my exercise to include a walk in snowshoes everyday 4) log my food faithfully If I can do those four goals I know I will get where I need to be in 20 weeks which would be around my anniversary. I'm posting this…

Nah they can have darlin hubbies soul before the kids!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

OMG I owe my soul!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Only exercise to day is shoveling off my deck. Too slippery out to do much of anything else. Too much Christmas food hanging around and I willpower poor lately. Don't want to get on the scales! Great to hear from everyone else. Have a happy new year. I just plan on laying low for it. I'm all holidayed out. lol

I received my snowshoes last year for Christmas, and went out the first time for a 60 minute walk (over hill and dale) and the next day I could hardly move. lol This year I am going at it much slower. I had a great little walk today in the snow. It was beautiful out. I use poles because they keep me much more stable than…

Well at least someone got some nice weather even if it was in the 30"s. I am still watching the snow fall and we have a foot to a foot and a half. My husband shoveled the porch roof off so we could find our dish for the internet. Then I went snowshoeing for two 15 minute bouts. Then started shoveling. Got tired after a 1/2…

Hi all, last one on again, sorry. I went shopping today and wore my pedometer. I thought I had walked alot but it only said 5857 steps. So much for exercise today. Hi Mary, your meal sounds delicious. We are having ham too. Some winter squash and carrots and potatos that I grew this summer, so I know what's in them. I…

Ok this is round 2, I had it almost done and lost my reply, that is so frustrating. I haven't posted because I haven't done much since getting back from my Mom's. We had a wonderful time visiting. I refuse to ride the emotional rollercoaster I'm feeling when I'm with her. Of course, now I'm at home and I'm and emotional…

Hi girls, just so you don't think I'm quitting this post buy I'm heading out of state for the rest of the week. See you next week.

Hi all, well sounds like everyone's week has been challenging. So all take a couple of deep breaths and exhale slowly. Well it works for me lol! I must be the last one to post again today. No news from the specialist on my mom. Decided I had better finish what I was doing up here before I have to travel to her place, which…

You should be so proud of your accomplishment. Congratulations on a job well done. :flowerforyou:

For me it was being in stroke range when I started using a blood pressure cuff daily. Hubby had it and I just wanted to see what mine was. That made me very motivated. I have more energy and want to do more now.

Don't leave mm, it wouldn't be the same without you! You can still share with us and us with you. Heck if I get anything extra done I count it as exercise and some days I post here even though I didn't exercise. Todays exercise consisted of walking thru Walmart of all things.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So don't leave, there's…

Thanks AnnaBanana you brought a smile to my face with that. :bigsmile: And yesterday I spent an hour on youtube watching Al Yankovic because I caught your other thread.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hi all, thanks for the prayers Vivia, I will need them. Found out last night my mom has cancer in mutiple places. Won't know more until she sees a specialist. She has dodged many bullets over the years, lung cancer and a heart attck but at 71 I don't know how much more her body can stand. So if I don't make it here to post…

Darn it!:grumble: :grumble: I lost my pedometer when I went out to fix the chains on the schoolbus this morning! :grumble: :grumble: I have to accept winter, it's being shoved down my throat. What a stressful drive this morning was. Daily goals: 1. walk 2.eat salad 3.drive the ##@@!!*** bus again:explode: 4. do the…

Congrats on a job well done!

Hmmmm, my goals for the week: get my 2 miles in everyday. salads for lunch arm exercises at least 3 times this week. yoga the other 3 days and 1 day off resting I don't have to work on the water, I'm usually pretty good about hydration. I am not so good about upper body strength workouts though. Good luck to everyone on…

Bad bad bad! I ate too much:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Wow Vivia you just described my yesterday when you said hibernating bear mode. Everyone was coming and going yesterday and I mostly watched tv in a dark room and ate crappy. I thought I was alone on that one and was a little worried! You know my mind is split into two camps right now. One is screaming at me inside for…

Personally, I would just like to get rid of mine and I don't know how. Not a computer techie. It isn't moving (thats my fault) and it takes up alot of space. So if you know how let me know. Oh and I'm not getting on my scale after this Thanksgiving until I've had time to burn some off because I'm definately not in the mood…
