Hello everyone.... Sorry that I have been MIA. Life has gotten in the way and too busy and not around a computer to even post. Blood sugar still out of whack and I haven't even weighed in 2 weeks. I'm afraid to. Eating habits have been very bad and just grabbing what ever is available. Hopefully things will get back to…

Good Morning to everyone:drinker: ....Off and running with the kidooos. We are going on a tour of the Governor's Mansion today. I've never been there myself, so am looking forward to going.

Grand kids are so bored that Trey offered to cut the grass with a pair of scissors....:bigsmile: ....of course I told him no! Seem to be off…

Great job everyone....I'm thankful that I just stayed even. Ate all the wrong stuff. The zoo was wonderful!!!! We have acquired 2 grizzle bears that are about 1 year old. They wrestled around and was play fighting all over the place. We were probably about 100 feet from them. There was a moat between us. I got great…

Don't have a lot of time to write. Great job on the weight lose. Everyone keep it up. This is Spring break so we have the kids this week. We are going to the zoo!!!! WAAAAAHooooo!!!! Teresa

Been watching movies all day. and eating the wrong things. No change on poundage. So that is good news. Going back to bed.…

Where ever you are at, there is square dancing and round dancing. It has it's own language. It is spoken in the English square dance language. So if you are in Germany and English speaking, you can square dance. Jump on the internet and check it out. It's cheap family entertainment. My Grand-kids dance. And the secret is -…

Good Morning to everyone:drinker: Have a cup of coffee on me.... I'm not all blonde. I have a secret patch in the back that is dark brown. Just a little punkish. It's my rebellion on life. I'm a rebel at heart or just a burned out hippie. HaHa!!!! Up and running or moving. No exercise this morning because we have an…

Wow....what a day....ran a mile and then we went ball room dancing tonight. Just love to be out on the dance floor like that again. We did the cha cha and the rumba and the 2 step and the waltz. I thought I had forgot most of the steps. The good news is I ate enough carbs to sustain me. I did crash at lunch. The blood…

Good morning everyone.... I'm so glad you and DH are going to start to run. I run on the Wii and in place. I'm just starting though. There is nothing like getting your heart rate up and water pouring off you. I ran for 10 minutes and 1.25 miles according to the Wii. It says that I burnt 86 calories. It made me feel soo…

Okay, back from the Doctor. Good news and Bad news. Good news he took me off the Metformin. I'm controlling my blood sugars with diet and exercise. WaaaaaHoooo!!!!! I'm jumping for joy. I even showed him the copies of diet and exercise and all the reports that you can print off. He was quite impressed. I set down with him…

Good morning all.... Well I'm off to the Doctor this morning. Wish me luck. I hope he puts me on thyroid medicine. Hopefully it will stop this constipation. I know I'm just full of "crap". I've heard it all from DH. Have a question - what is W3D2 of C25K? I've seen it printed a lot and just need to know. Oh...Oh...my hair…

Good morning all, Having a late start. Have brother-in-law and father-in-law here digging up my yard. They are shaving off the sod and taking about 3 inches of top soil to get rid of a hump in our yard. I can't get anything done when they are here. I won't let them in the house. They are semi-muddy. So I' m having to bring…

I believe you do.

Great chart and congrats on every ones lose. Way to go Hawkeye!

I was going to this supper club every Friday after work by myself. It's mostly a country and western club. I was introduced to John and this other guy. I went out with the other guy and had to take a cab home. He was bad news. The next week I showed up at 7pm for dinner and the door man set me at the table right below the…

Good Morning all, Yesterday was great. Played Wii with Grandkids until 1pm. They really tire you out. It's going to be a great day. Dh is going for 2 interviews today. I know today is going to be the day! I have to remember to eat and keep my calories up today. I'm having a hard time eating enough. Can you believe it?…

I use Wii and I'm getting results. My son-in-law used Wii fitness and lose from size 56 suit to size 36 in 9 months. He did the hula hoop and anything aerobic. I'm use Wii fitness plus. Sister bought the biggest looser and she can't even use it because it is too hard. I would diffidently use Wii fitness plus and use…

Well today is weigh in . last week was 230.50 and this week was 228.50. Horrible day yesterday. Didn't eat enough calories and on time. Blood sugar crashed 4 time yesterday. This is not good. I know the dance was good. I just didn't get to participate. I did 2- step with grand son and waltz with DH once and Didn't make it…

Thanks Ann....And no you didn't confuse me. Every time I get up my lower back snaps and cracks and sometimes pops. No pun intended. I know my muscles are weak and that's why it's doing it. Well it's 6am here and the Grandkids are to be here soon except Grand daughter - she has advanced classes today. She'll be here about…

Stick to your guns and DON'T eat out and don't eat after 7pm. If you have to eat out, pick what you are to eat and plug it in to your food list and stick to it. Most restaurants have their menu on line now and it helps. Start thinking that your food list is the law and don't vary from it. It takes great courage to stick to…

Welcome aboard..... Off to an early start again. It seems to work for me. Need advice for back strengthening exercise. Does anyone have one? Need something simple to start with. My muscles aren't there just yet. It's going to be a good day. Temperature is to be 62 degrees....WaaaHoo!!!!

I have been working out with Wii for about 9 or 10 days and I have lost 4 lbs this last week. I do everything core - balance. and as many aerobics as I can. My son-in-law went from size 56 suit jacket to size 36 in 9 months just by doing the hula hoop and jogging in place. I also to the boxing, tennis, and bowling every…

I have always had this problem with finishing things. You only have 5 to 10 lbs left to loose. My Mom always told me it's the journey that I like and I don't want it to end. So I don't want to finish what I start. I think my Mom was pretty much right on. As far as the loneliness, I don't have the answer, but I do feel your…

Good morning to everyone: It's going to be a great day. Woke up early and I'm ready to get going......posting early, eat early, exercise early. What could be better that that? And it to be a whopping 54 degrees.....WaaaaaHooooo! I can go outside. Well, I'm off.

They are g o o d....MMMMM......I'm out of them and need a chocolate fix. That doesn't happen very often. I have never craved any food let alone…

Trying to post and do Wii at the same time. Husband is on it right now. So I get to post. I made the best post pie with hamburger. It…
