Morning ladies! I have not posted in a while but do read the journal entries daily. January was a rocky month for me. I hope to get back on track in February. I will review my goals and post new ones later. Wanted to mark my spot. Thanks for providing my daily dose of Vitamin F. I am inspired by everyone! Take care, Carolyn

Bump for later!

Hey ladies, Last time I tried to post the MFP gremlins had a field day....Let's hope this one makes it through. I am the "coach" of the Biggest Loser at work. Today is weigh in and most everyone lost. I was happy with that. I am not an active participant but have tried to be accountable for about six months. My history is…

Bump Just realized part two and lost my reply

Happy Friday! Yesterday was an emotional eating day for sure. My DD#! left to go home after a week long visit. She is a grown young lady with a life of her own but I am such a baby about her living so far away from me! Now that the holidays are over I will get the decorations down this weekend and plan a week of exercise…

Happy 2013!! Welcome to all the newbies and returning friends...This is a fantastic group of ladies who support and encourage without judgement.... December goal review: Continue structured exercise four times a week- Met this goal...I incorporated kettlebell workouts once a week :drinker: Find a yoga class or a drop in…

Bump for later

Hello ladies! I have been reading entries but not posting for a while. My DD #1 is home for the holidays and the time with her is precious. She lives across the country from me so I treasure every second. Had a great Christmas with both daughters and DH. Was able to see both families; my side had all five of us together…

Morning to all my virtual friends! I won't try to catch up on posts as I have been AWOL for more than a few days... I had a rough couple of days eating with no structured exercise but got back on track yesterday. I am happy it was only two days although the days ahead will still be a challenge. I hope to balance it with…

Katia- RAOK is Random Acts of Kindness. Usually something simple but the idea is to pay it forward....:flowerforyou:

Good Morning Ladies, The tragedy in CT hit a nerve in us all. My first thought was "that could happen here." Sadly, it can and is happening. I am heartbroken for the town and families. Hopefully mental health will become a priority as others mentioned. Anxiety is a four letter word and is so often brushed under the carpet.…

Bump for later:smile:

Checking in for a dose of Vitamin F!!! Didn't sleep well last night and woke up thinking today was Friday. NOT!!! I am feeling the holiday crunch and stress all of a sudden. I am also stuck (once again) with my weight. And it is official...I am post menopausal. No friend for a year. Weird that I am a little sad about…

Morning to all! It's a dreary, foggy (Froggy) Monday here and I must say it is fitting weather for my mood. I allowed myself to have a pity party towards the end of the week and had a few black smiley days...First holiday party I attended and I admit to not caring about the food intake. While I did not gorge myself I sure…

Hello ladies! Was off from work yesterday for DH 1st routine colonoscopy. No problems just a tiny polyp and a pocket of diverticulosis. I "prodded" him to get this done as the recommendation is to get a baseline at age 50 and he is a few years overdue.... I made the mistake of checking work e-mail and had a little stress…

Morning ladies, Wow this group has grown tremendously! Just finished the posts and I am inspired once again by the strength and dedication of this group of ladies. Welcome to the newcomers...I still consider myself a newbie; started posting only a few months ago. Thank you Barbie for creating and maintaining this…

I need structured exercise Yoga once a week- No the yoga class at work fell through Daily logging-Yes I was able to do this even while on the road…

Marking my spot and will check in tomorrow....Happy December to all! Carolyn

Happy Thursday to all! I am finally getting back into the swing of things after my Thanksgiving travels. I figured out I spent a total of 26 hours in the car with DH...and we didn't kill each other!!! LOL:laugh: Spending the holiday on the road was challenging however it was priceless and well worth the travel time to…

Morning ladies! I am checking in briefly to mark my spot for later. I have not caught up on the posts but will try later tonight....I had a wonderful holiday with the family and will give more details later. I took today off from work to recoup from the trip and DH is home as well....Heading to the store after planning my…

Happy Day Ladies! Just a quick check in to mark my spot for later. Had a fabulous time watching my daughter perform in the show last night! What a way to get into the Christmas spirit! Went over in calories but I was expecting to. I managed to get in a mini Zumba session for about 15 mins from a saved you tube video. Today…

Morning to all! Tried the kettle bells yesterday and did about 20 mins...had to make some modifications and am only using a 10 pound weight. I like it so far and will take it slow....Leaving tomorrow for the road trip to Nashville so hope to get in some walking over the holiday time away from home. It is always a challenge…

Morning ladies Just a quick check in. DH and I went to the football game here yesterday and my lunch (protein bar) was confiscated! I was sooo mad I did not hide it better!! LOL! You know there is next to nothing healthy at the games! We had three happy drunks sitting behind us keeping us entertained! Gotta love fans and…

TGIF Lovely Ladies!!! Woke up with my back hurting a bit and not sure if it is age or exercise related...Have not tried the kettlebells yet so can't blame that. I want to try them this weekend after I thoroughly review and practice proper technique... More to come on that!! Wonder if I will have wings or a broomstick…

Morning to everyone! Hope today is whatever you make it to be..... I bought a kettlebell yesterday at the Sporting Goods store and will try to learn correct technique before using it. Got some great advice from an MFP friend so I hope to boost my metabolism. I have been in a plateau for about three weeks.... Yesterday I…

Marking my spot for later....Wishing all a Wonderful Wednesday!!! :flowerforyou: Carolyn

Good Morning Ladies! Hope today is a Terrific Tuesday for all! I enjoyed the last hurrah of mild weather and rode the bike outside with DH. Today it is windy and rainy and the forecast is for the colder weather to stay with us now. DD#2 came home for DH to fix her car. We took her out to dinner and luckily for me they…

Hello to everyone! Sounds like yesterday was a day full of bumps in the road for a lot of people. Let's just call it Wacky Wednesday and put it to bed!! I went to Jazzercise class for the first time in about three weeks and my brain was on pause. I could not get the moves right. Sure felt sorry for the person behind…

Happy Sunday Evening Fabulous Ladies! I really enjoyed having an extra hour today. After the morning Turbo Jam workout I was able to do a little cleaning and cooking for the week. Made some very yummy spinach lasagna rolls for dinner and was surprised DH enjoyed them! Got the recipe from my go to website Skinnytaste. Had…

I can't believe November is here already...Where does the time go??? Yesterday I learned of a previous co-worker's 15 year old son passing away from a form of cancer. Wednesday I was dealing with a co-worker with terminal cancer still fighting the battle, but losing. She wants to work but is in denial of what she is…
