I still want it I like it and I am used to it but I will go with the flow, so let me know. Ha I'm a poet. Definately going to get a walk in today and I don't care if it is just a…

Thanksgiving is still kicking my butt. No I haven't been on for a couple of days, the challenges name hasn't changed, thank god, I kinda like SBF's name. It's easy to find, and I'm used to it. Maybe it's change I don't like.:laugh: :laugh: What I really need is for everyone to go home and take all the bad food with them. I…

Hi I haven't deserted the site MM, yesterday I was so stressed driving in the crappy weather that all I focused on was getting my water and food and walking in. I didn't even have the umph to come on and post on this site. So I have managed my goal so far this week. I still have to walk today but I have pies cooking right…

Good morning ladies, I am off to Christmas shop so lots of walking involved. I filled up my water bottle and plan on a salad at lunch so I think I will have all the bases covered and have a good time while doing it. I'll need it as tonight is the Annual Spaghetti Dinner at a friends house we are going to tonight. I plan on…

Hi I switched from caffinated products to herbal teas awhile ago and wanted to know if anyone counted them as part of their water intake or not. I drink about 3-4 a day and my water is on top of that and I feel like I'm going to float away soon. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sometimes if I am hungry I make an herbal tea to fill…

For future dinners, place 4 chicken breasts in crockpot, 1 pkg taco seasoning, 1 jar salsa and cook on low 6 hours and serve over rice of your choice. I like it because I can put it on and forget about it till supper and I've never figured out how much it is calorie wise so I'm sorry there. I figure it's chicken so it…

Oh Lord that is funny, I was almost afraid to open it!. Darn where did my dab o ink go:laugh: :laugh:

Yea I did 40 mintutes on the treadmill, I know it's not alot but I had to be positive about it after not doing it for so long. About 10 minutes into it I started feeling good. Nice to know it still happens. I can't wait to get back to my 60 minute walks. I think my individual goal will be some strength training and I think…

Way to go Cyberswitch! Congrats and keep up the good work!

Poor Vivia, what a crappy thing to have to do. Hope they don't keep you all day. I'd bring a good book. Hey Mary, I feel a little stress before a trip but when I get going it seems to leave. Someone watching your kitties for you? We don't travel alot because with 4 of them its hard to find someone to come feed them. They…

Hi everyone, glad to hear everyone seems to be doing ok. MM you have more strength than me, painting while you are still feeling under the weather. Here's to the trains running on time Mary, I have never been on one. Have a safe trip. Vivia, small challenges are fine with me. Whoo Hoo I got my walk in. I had to talk myself…

Hi and welcome to MFP. I really hope you enjoy the site, there are so many people to talk to. Drinking alot of water is important. I find if I stay busy doing something on the weekends that I don't eat as much. Be it housework or exercising or whatever. I also learned really fast that portion control was a must. I bought…

Wishing you well on your long walk:flowerforyou:

It's ok to vent. Just keep trying, one day at a time. I know how you feel, I have gained back a few since I started here(about ten lbs) and you just have to keep a positive frame of mind. It takes time to rev up a metabolism even if you are exercising. Try the strength training. I never had heard of it but I think I will…

Yea for you MM, I'm planning on yoga in a few. Vivia, I feel for the position you are in. Stress is a big bummer for everyone trying to maintain or lose. I know stress has done a number on me lately and I don't want to get on the scale. Yikes I'm afraid of what it would say. Mary, I'm sorry about your kitty. I have one…

It snowed and melted( by that I mean cars packed it down) and snowed all day and I literally slid down a hill in my ford explorer which has studded tires. It was just like skating only bulky style lol. Actually was pretty scary, and I don't look forward to my drive in the bus tomorrow!

Well everyone sounds cheerful and motivated! I am planning my grocery shopping and from the list I won't make it out of the vegetable aisle:bigsmile: My only plan for this week is to get on my treadmill and walk 30 minutes a day. I need to get that accomplished before I move on. But of course the waters are a given and so…

Well everyone has had a crappy day I see. I'll add to it, today is a total loss, I slept all day and haven't done that in a couple of months. I think it is a stress reaction to ongoing stuff. I felt better after I slept. Well maybe tomorrow will be better. :grumble:

Molly I seriously am starting to believe I have Alzheimers. I read your post and was sitting there saying to myself "you read that, don't you remember?" I may have to go get checked out. Thank you. I had to take the book back before I could post because it was interlibrary loan so I couldn't refer to the book or I would…

and I would love to do it but I just know I will want to eat them. I've had enough of a gain as it is so what can I do to make cookies with her and not hurt her feelings but not eat the cookies? Any suggestions? Any light cookie recipes hiding out anywhere that anyone would like to share? Thanks:flowerforyou:

I finished the book and for a slim book it took more time to read than my normal books. I would read a couple of paragraphs and then would put the book down and think about them in relation to my life. Everyone has a dream or goal when you are young, and as you age you tend to think in terms of whether the dream and goal…

Have fun V, my daughter just came back from a conference in California and she said it was the first time she hadn't had a flight problem. I"d like a conference,oh wait a minute I just spent a weekend shopping, guess that's not happening. But I didn't get anything done today unless you count driving the bus and doing some…

You should be so proud of yourself! Congratulations on all the hard work!

Wow leave a couple of days and come back and things are really hopping! Sorry to hear your not feeling good MM. Vivia, I think it's terrible that people are hitting the strikers with cars. I think they need to cool down and behave like adults. Rach, I think Vivia is right, call the Bursar. I co-signed all my daughters…

Wow it's been a busy couple of days and I feel like I have been gone for a week. No exercise the day of the election. But I managed to get a 30 minute speed walking tour of the college I took the MiddleSchool too and alot of stairs to boot. Today I managed a walk up the hill to my daughter's house and back. Not doing so…

Hi Wanderinglight, I wish all the best on your journey. It sounds like a very exciting trip and a very long one. Can't wait to hear how it goes. Vegan huh? Good luck, I don't think I'd like to give up my chicken and turkey. I only eat red meat when its my DH's turn to cook. LOL Hi Ariannedavis, you have some awesome goals.…

Hi All, GM I was just the opposite, I was scrambling to get to the bus on time. The clock was set right but the alarm was set for when I start driving. Thank Goodness, my friend warmed it up for me. :bigsmile: Yea MM on the weight loss! Hope the doc can help out Alex (poor little tyke) Hey Noni I walked this morning too.…

What an interesting experiment. I agree one month is not long enough too. But I also stopped tracking food like healthier_me and have been exercising off an on, mostly off and I too gain 5-6 lbs. A little on the depressing side though was I gained in inches around my tummy. So it's back to logging and walking. Although…

Hi everyone, well back to normal, last one to post,lol. Yesterday was a total loss foodwise and exercisewise. I left at 10 am for the highschool girls soccersemi-finals and was back in the school yard at 5:15PM. Real tired from the driving. It's stressful going someplace you have never been to before and have to be there…
