Good morning ladies! We had a nice sunny weekend here that ended in rain, which was perfect because hubby did all kinds of yard work including using weed and feed on the grass (it needs water to work right) I hope you all had a good weekend, spending time doing the things you enjoy and with people you love. My teaching…

This plus the fact that you are still trying! Each failed attempt means you are that much closer to being able to stick with it. I think with some things we have to fail a time or two, or many before we are ready to succeed!

Hello ladies! It is a beautiful day here, sunny and in the 70's. I talked Andrea into meeting me with the girls and we walked over to the city park (I live in a small town so pretty much everything is no more than "a few blocks away"). Got my 10 minutes of sunshine for Vitamin D and only my lower calves (soleus) cramped up…

Good morning ladies! I hope you are all having a good week. I was on the go quite a bit yesterday, mostly for my daughter, Andrea, who finally seems to be getting her life in order. But I really wanted to tell you about my brother. A little background...he is four years younger than me and we were very close growing up,…

Good morning ladies! It is beautiful here today, nice and sunny with a little breeze. My handy dandy weather button (as hubby likes to call it) on my phone says it is about 52 degrees out. Today we finish up Brian's class, which means one less thing for me to do! I think I may have found a place for my practicum if the…

Stevia is a plant, so yes it is better than artificial sweeteners. Oikos triple zero yogurt uses stevia in it. I like a couple of their flavors. Good for you for staying away from artificial sweeteners!

Good morning ladies. Here are the pics as promised. I tried but didn't get any good pics of them together. Hope you are having a great start to your week! Sorry but I am not up for more than this today Take care Grace and peace to you Jeanette

Good morning ladies! I hope your weekend is going well. Hubby is spoiling me this morning; he loves birthdays. He always says Christmas is his favorite holiday next to his birthday. Turns out he talked both girls into coming to church with us tomorrow so we will have them and both grandbabies with us; that makes me happy.…

Good morning ladies! I got a lot done yesterday; finished one sun dress, made another, AND made a little bolero jacket for Avery. Gonna make a jacket for Alanna today, ride the bike (I never did get to that yesterday) and do a little of Brian's shoolwork then head home this afternoon some time. Tomorrow a birthday party…

Good morning ladies. How is your week going? The scale is not my friend this time here; makes me so very frustrated I just want to cry. I'd sure like to get so far from the 200's that no matter what time of day or how much I've just eaten it won't be near that number. I'll take measurements a little later to see if there…

Good morning ladies. Another quick check in today but have a few things to do this morning before heading to Mom and Dad's for a few days. Karla- I hope things are calming down and getting a bit better; glad the eye is better, what did the doctor say? Cindy - glad to hear you are taking it easy/taking care of yourself I…

Good morning ladies! Just a quick check in as I have Miss Alanna here today. I wanted to mention that last night as I was cutting out a pattern I realized that not only did I accomplish everything on my list yesterday, I didn't have to push myself to do it or feel sapped at the end of the day. It really wasn't too long ago…

It really depends on your preference and what your body can handle

Good morning ladies! I hope all is going well on another Monday morning! This week is spring break here so I don't work at all. I'll be trying to get in some extra exercise, sewing the dresses and maybe some cleaning around here...we'll see about that one. MaryLynn – I am so glad that you are working through this situation…

there was always something wrong with soy. The problem isn't so much that they are now "discovering" that soy isn't great for you in large quantities, but that we as a society tend to jump into things with both feet without finding out all the facts first. You don't need to back completely away from soy, just use it in…

When it comes to calorie reduction you don't have to go from eating anything you want to such a restricted diet. It is ok to reduce a little at a time; take it in steps so you don't have to be so hungry. So let's say you were eating 2000 calories per day (to make it easy on me :wink: ) You could start by reducing your…

Good.....afternoon! ladies :smile: I have been enjoying my time off and lazing the mornings away! This morning I was doing the same and then realized Andrea (mother to my grand children and 22 years old) needed to practice driving this morning before Brian takes the car. She is going to take her test on Tuesday and our car…

When I think of sugar detox I think of eliminating sugar cane specifically from the diet. To do that you need to look at every ingredient of every single thing you eat because sugar cane is addictive and they put it in everything these days! If you do this type of "detox" you will lose those cravings faster; but if you…

go, enjoy yourself and don't think of it as exercise....that is just that added bonus :smile:

Good job getting it all together! I have found MFP to be an eye opening experience. It is easy to say "I don't eat that much" or "I get plenty of exercise" but when you start logging it you see what is truly going on. I'm glad you found this site and that it is working for you :smile:

I don't believe in BMI; weight vs height doesn't take into consideration muscle tone at all. I think 150 is a very reasonable, healthy choice for your height.

Good morning ladies. I apologize for allowing my insecurities to get the best of me. Between my husband and I, I feel like I am generally the more generous one. I am usually the first one to lend something out or will give more than he would etc. (not saying anything bad about hubby, just giving you some background). We…

Good morning ladies! I hope you are all having a good week. I was busy busy busy yesterday; added teaching an extra dance class at the studio I work at to my day and SIL decided to change the time I had Alanna to the afternoon....trouble there! Though the divorce is final and things set, daughter is planning on filing new…

Here is a link to one of many articles that look at the research regarding diet sodas....I chose one that doesn't have a bunch of scientific language to wade through, so please don't think it is just another blog.... http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-there-a-link-between-diet-soda-and-heart-disease-201202214296

Emma, you can eat your sweet treats no problem. You might try finding some sweet treats that don't have any sugar cane in them, though; I suspect that is your real problem. Sugar cane can be addicting...not for everyone, but it sounds like it is for you. There are lots of yummy alternatives, and I have found many treats…

if you ate that much for a few days it is likely you gained some weight, not a lot, but some.

It doesn't sound like you are lazy, it sounds like you are busy! My suggestion is to start tracking everything you eat; do this for a week or so just to see what you are eating....don't try to change anything at first. While you are doing this you may want to keep your diary private to avoid not logging EVERYTHING. Next I…

Maybe you aren't eating enough for what you are doing....maybe your body is saying "I'm going to hold on to everything I can because there isn't enough coming in" Another thing to consider is muscle mass and clothing size. If you measure something at 10" around and it is nice solid muscle it would weigh more than 10"…

carbs are not trouble makers for body weight; they are your primary source of fuel. Your percentages should be determined by how active you are and by how much muscle building activities you are doing. If you do more cardio, eat more carbs, if you do more muscle building eat more protein. general percentages are 45-65…

Good morning ladies! I'm a little off today, guess that time change got me after all. Was going to exercise this morning but am not sure I'm up to it....I teach tonight, though, so will still get my exercise in. TT: Our weather is pretty mild here so we can barbque any time of year, really, though we do it more in the…
