I'm thinking about getting a monitor - tell me why you like this particular gadget. Thanks!

"Daily check-in" - heh - apparently my "day" is a couple of months long! Been in a holding pattern for a couple of months. End of the school year was BUSY. Just attended HS reunion and then drove an extra day to meet up with an old college friend. Back home, recording again, motivated to drop the last 10ish pounds. I'm at…

Staying alive! Staying alive! (that's for @guinevere96) So in the four days since my last "daily" check-in... I've celebrated a birthday (hubby threatened to cut me in half and make two 28s), overate by about 200 calories most days this week, managed to do some mild exercise despite some nagging back discomfort that keeps…

Yay @PoohBelly! Keep it up! rest day for me today, school vacation this week and watching Birdman on cable tonight. Life is good!

TORNADO!?!?!?!?!?!?! yikes. I second the "I'm glad you're okay sappho123" motion... and love your sense of humor. Personally, in that situation, I would be more concerned about the location of clean underwear... 'Nother long walk for me today. Destination: the sporting goods store near the mall to replace my worn out…

Woooooooooo... apparently my "day" is three days long for checking in! I've been having some muscle pulls in my back, so not as much vigorous exercise as I would have liked. It's been easing up; I went for a long walk today with a lunch break in the middle. Pedometer app on the iPod says it was 12.6 miles.

Please add me to the @starsonlyone fan club. I'm outraged on your behalf at the attitude - definitely unprofessional on his part.

Howdy! energy levels coming back - made it to the gym yesterday and did a moderate workout, took advantage of lovely spring weather and went for a walk today. yay! Thanks for the encouragement!

jus' checking in... gym on hold until I'm feeling a little bit better. Saw my physician today and he gave me a prescription. While I was there I asked if we could check my cholesterol levels. Last time I had a physical (two years ago) he told me they were high. They were able to test right there in the office, turns out…

@nuttyengineer - I feel your pain. I have a sinus thing starting up right now... hate the way they throw a wrench in the monkey works (or is that a monkey wrench in the works?) And just when I was making some really good progress at the gym, too.
-
Three cheers for the getting back on track!!!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Yay!!! Rest day for me today... but it might end up being a few more days than I want, think I have a sinus thing brewing. Bleah.
-
@ryanp_942 - Thanks! The progress hasn't always been speedy; I've had help keeping it rolling forward. Someone I know calls the extra-calorie days "resetting the metabolism..." There IS actually a bit of truth to that if you've been dieting for a long time; it's not a binge but it is a relaxed day when you're not as strict…

Checking in!!! Monday is the day I meet with a trainer at the gym, started working with him in January. It's been good to have some guidance in getting back to the routine of exercise (it had been about three years since I'd gone to the gym with any regularity). He's had me focus on core exercises that I'm noticing are…

:p :) :p :)

Have been using MFP since last August, but haven't really done much more than poke a toe into the message board pool... 1) Where were you born? Erie, PA 2) Where do you live at the moment? Framingham, MA 3) Where else have you lived? A 3 1/2 year stint in Colorado. Hated it and came back to New England (a place I fell in…

Framingham, Massachusetts. Used to live in PA, now I live in MA, and I try not to think about the Freudian implications.
-
<- feeling virtuous because I got to the gym early enough today. The one I go to is open 365 days a year, but it closes at 3 on holidays. Was able to do everything I needed to do without rushing! Which was some stretching, a few core exercises and an hour of cardio in the spin room (maybe when school is out I'll actually…

Hi @electriq! A nice run along a lake sounds restful to the soul! Today, being Saturday, I chose to walk to my favorite eatery for a salmon burger. It's a two-mile saunter that goes through some conservation wetlands. The trees still look bare, but if you look close you can see the buds starting. Still snow on the ground…

Good morning from Massachusetts! I joined this group several months ago, but haven't been checking the forum. Love the idea of this thread, so joining in now. I'm pretty excited about the progress I've made (34 pounds since last August) - and have had some amazing help from a nutrition coach and now a trainer I work at the…
