One of my past bosses started calling me Sandara so I started using it whenever I needed a screen name.

Hi everyone! Teresa, I hope you get your groove back, we'll be here whenever you need us. And please do stop in to say hello now and then. AZ, Your making a great comeback. I should follow your example. I've got to get my mind set to do something on my off days. I keep ignoring my weights. They just make faces at me when I…

Thanks everybody! I will be doing accounting and working with their computer system. It will be a job more along the lines of my past history. I've basically been doing entry level clerical work since the job market fell out and the company I worked for closed. I'm going to miss the people in my department but I'm not…

YaY! I got the job. I just can't believe how fast this all happened. My head is just whirling right now. :happy:

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for the well wishes on the job. I've never had such a long interview. Usually I really freak about interviews but I think this one happened so quick I didnt' have time to stress out. :laugh: They seemed really interested but then they always do. I'm finished with it for now so I'm just going to…

Happy Birthday again Teresa! Isn't it a great feeling to look back at your 48th Birthday and see how far you've come! I would say that 49 is going to be your year! Yay! :flowerforyou: 2 1/2 hour interview, I now have information overload. :huh: It went really well, keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hi Everybody, Sorry I'm MIA! I really meant to catch up on all the posts tonite but I got an unexpected call and I have a job interview tomorrow for a blind ad I answered last week. So I've been preparing and trying to research on the company. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Fortunately I'd already got in my step workout…

I've got to get caught up on all the posts but I just wanted to do a quick check-in. I did my jenny ford today and now I'm off to clean my dirty kitchen. It needs it sooooo bad! See you all later!:drinker:

I just had to say . . . I've got some of them annoying neighbors right next door too! And to make it even crazier, he's a cop. They have huge bonfires and explode stuff in the fire all the time. Holidays are the worst. I'm in a fairly rural area and there are no ordinances. I keep waiting for them to blow an arm off or…

Hi Everybody, Looks like everyone is having a mostly good week. Tomorrow is Friday Yay! I did my usual tonite, I think it goes by so fast because I have to really concentrate to catch all the step changes. There's no time to look at the clock! :laugh: Mary, I'm sorry about your back, they say that's one of the worst pains…

I keep getting booted off! MFP is having server problems :sad: I did my step cardio thing again tonite. I may have to go back to doing some of the WATP and spreading out the step thingy. It's really ruff on my knees.

Monday yucks! Wow, the weekend just flew by, but they always do. I did get in my step dvd workout yesterday and I did 30 minutes with the weights today, including the 10 minute kettlebell workout. I still havent' gotten around to ordering a workout dvd for the kettlebell. Too many other things taking my dollars. I'm still…

Where did the weekend go? :sad:

Boy it's hot here today. Went flea-marketing again today and walked around for 3 or 4 hours. It rained just a bit this morning, just enough to make a nice steam everywhere! :smile: I've never sweated so much just from walking around. I really need to do a workout but I haven't recovered from the heat yet. I Didn't find…

Hi Everybody! Looks like you are all doing great! Ann, I'm sorry your having so much trouble with your foot. I hope you find something you can do.with your limitations. I admire you for sticking with your plan the best you can. I really thought I'd be able to get in a workout yesterday but the hospital thing with my dad…

Hi All, I hope your all enjoying your day. Sorry you had to work Kathy. Bummer. But your menu sounds great. We took a short motorcyle ride today and ended up dodging rain clouds so we came home. I did an hours worth of the Jenny Ford again. I just repeated some of the combos I still need to work on. Now it's 7 pm and I…

Hi Everybody! I hope your all enjoying a nice long weekend. I haven't gotten any formal exercising in but I did spend about 3 hours cutting grass & weed eating. I'm not going to count it towards my goal for the month though. At least my poor house doesn't look like it's been abandoned anymore. :laugh: Alice, the soup…

Congratulations on your one year Anniversary Marie! That's a huge accomplishment. Does Farmville count as gardening? I've been doing a lot of that lately! :laugh: Seriously though I have a brown thumb. :cry:

Happy Friday everybody! Long weekend ahead! Yay! I'm so glad to see you all in for July. I've got my ticker set up and hopefully showing up on my signature. I'll find out when I hit post! I'm going to try logging my exercises by the hour this month and I'm estimating 3 hours a week for a total of 12 hours. I'm going to…

Another great month working together! Congratulations to you all that made your goals! And it's a fresh month for those of us who didn't! (me, me, me) I'm really trying to get my mind back in the battle. The last few months have really been a struggle for me and Im determined to get back on track. Here's a link to the July…

I'm back! Sorry for the disappearing act but TOM has been very difficult, I can't wait for him to move out! :laugh: I'm glad everyone is getting excited about July. I need a fresh start. And no Jenny you aren't the only one that didn't do a ticker this month. I agree that I'm definitely going back to one for July. It's…

Hi Everyone! I didn't have a very productive weekend and I've been sick for the last 2 days. I can't believe the month is almost over and I haven't even gotten revved up good. I'm going to have to get back in line for July. I can't remember who asked where I got the Jenny Ford dvd but it was from Amazon.com. AZ, I'll have…

My new workout dvd arrived. It's jenny ford and it has 3 different workouts on it. All three workouts show a step on the cover but the beginner one I picked out didn't use the step at all. But it was fun even though I'm such a klutz and couldn't do half the stuff. It's going to take me a while to learn this but I"m going…

bump! So I can read later, I need help too! :smile:

Hi All :smile: Teresa, I can't believe it's hotter here than in FL. We had a big storm tonight and this time my car said it was 71. 30 degrees lower than yesterday. And good luck with your picnics, you'll do fine I'm sure. Your so dedicated I know you'll manage whatever comes your way. I did the Punch up your walk again…

Late check in for me again tonight. I did my strength training today, some weights and the muffin top workout again. I've got to find me a kettle ball dvd. My DVR is on the frix in the living room so I can't access the on demand exercise stuff until we get the box exchanged. Hopefully this weekend. There might be a kettle…

Happy Monday Everyone! Way to go AZ, 6 / 7 days is great! I"m kind of experimenting with my schedule a bit. I'm trying to alternate cardio with strength training every other day. I hope to get into some kind of schedule before we start the July thread. Jenny, I"m glad you arrived safely. Enjoy your time with your family.…

I hope everyone had a wonderful day. We had a nice dinner at my parents with way too much food. But I told my husband it was one day I wouldn't make him eat anything diet! :laugh: He's always so cooperative with my journey. Red, I know what you mean about all the butter. I think it's agains the law to cook without butter…

Late again tonite! I didn't get a walk in but I hope to try out the Muffin top workout tomorrow afternoon. Thanks Ann, they had one left at my wal-mart. We are having a big Father's day dinner tomorrow so I know I'm going to need that workout. I should have worked out today but after the long trip to wal-mart I had to get…

Hi Everyone! I'm a little behind this week. I did get in some weights on Thursday but nothing since. I've got to get caught up with everyone. It looks like we all have common problems with our mothers. Mine is 83 and just started on some memory loss reducing drugs. We'll see how it goes. If she is developing dementia it's…
