Today was my "rest day" although I did some walking but not my regular exercise. I can tell you I miss not having worked out this morning. Tomorrow I'll be back on my treadmill, I could feel it in my legs.. and I can see the difference.. I can see the muscle definition in my thighs now. Wow!! This is great!! Stiring...…

Welcome Glenn!! We are all here for the same reason... we ate to many calories... I know I did.... I thought I knew what my limit was and how many calories I was eating without logging in and recording it... I was so wrong. You are fortunate that you have an active job. Keep logging your food and your exercise and you'll…

Well this is day 5 for me this time... doing good so far. I'm getting in my exercise... even at work... we played on the Wii today.. after one game of bowling the residents decided that they didn't want to bowl any longer but wanted to watch me play something.. so for 30 minutes I played tennis.. discovered that in that 30…

Checking in again. Had a good and busy weekend. Saturday I ran and went snowshoeing. Sunday, I carried and stacked firewood. This morning I did a pre programmed workout on the treadmill called rolling hills... although I had to up the speed to 4mph as 3mph was just way to slow for me. I also stacked more firewood and…

Swissmiss and StiringWendel it isn't that my husband doesn't try to eat healthy... we eat only chicken, turkey and occasionally fish(for me) neither of us eat beef for medical reasons.. I'm allergic to it and my husband has high cholesteral. And my husband gets lots of exercise.. he is a letter carrier and walks about…

Well today is off to a good start! I carried firewood upstairs ..that took about 20 minutes; then I got on my treadmill and ran 4.5mph for 45 minutes and about 2 hours later my husband and I went snowshoeing for 1 1/2 hours (thru trees following deer trails, on the river, and then thru knee deep snow and then back... about…

I have been very good today and have followed my healthy diet! It makes it hard when my husband comes home from work and makes brownies... my weakness is chocolate!! I have stayed away from them so far today so I pat myself on the back for that. Was starving when i came home from work... could easily have grabbed one but…

hello everyone... I have been part of my fitness pal for a couple of years off and on... it seems that I get so caught up in life that I forget to post here. I am hoping to reach my goal weight of 130 by June or before... I was at 135 this summer... but am now up to 140 again! ARGH!!!! some is contributed to not having my…

Hey everyone!! I haven't been here for about 2 weeks... I had a house ful of kids and grandkids and between them and work I barely had enough time to log in food. I've hit a plateau...and it is getting discouraging!!! but I wil hang in there and hope I can break thru. Hope everyone else is doing good.
