Depression and Weight Issues - Saturday Feb.1st

Good Morning Everyone!

I don't know if this is how you open up today.hope so!

I did my 3 mile Leslie Sansone so I could pop in early....only to find no one has posted for today..so I hope it is okay to start it!

I love a new page on the calendar.Feb.1st! It is almost like a new beginning! I decided Feb. would be a good month dedicated to taking good care of myself! No matter what age we are we sometimes have a tendancy to be good to everyone BUT ourselves! Despite the fact it is Saturday I wanted to start out doing something positive..............it helps me with eating correctly too if I have started the day by exercising!

For those who have a hard time I have some advice......just START somewhere and I strongly suggest 10 minutes at a time for perhaps a week.then gradually increase it! That is how I started...............................Good habits are just as hard to break as bad one once established..................it takes time like anything worth having!

Be proud of every change you are making....the small things are what counts!Whether it is with eating or exercising!

Have a great Saturday!

Good Morning ladies

Another tragedy has struck our nation. The space shuttle Columbia has broken apart upon re-entry over Texas. Please say a prayer for a miracle that the crew was able to some eject and survive this. Please pray for their families.

I remember hearing about Challenger when I was at class in college.. my first thought this morning was oh no, not again.

Another sad day... each of us has so much to be grateful for. I'm going to go watch the reports and pray.

Well lookie here - Cin started a New Thread - I am so proud! you go girl! and a 3 mile walking tape too - that's awesome - you rock! Sometimes those 3 mile tapes get a little loooooooong. :-)

I just did a 6 hour workout myself - it is called the "Clean Your House" work out and it takes me 6 hours. haha Of course, its not quite the same as doing a walking video or going for a walk, but on the days that I clean house, that is all that I can do. I am pooped after being on my feet for 6 hours cleaning. yikes. but at least everything is kind clean - for the next 5 minutes anyway - you know how that goes.

Hubby has had the tv on all day Linda watching the space shuttle coverage - it is a very sad day! DH had gone out at 8:00 a.m. this morning to see if he could see the shuttle passing over us. We had heard last night on the news that it would be passing over us around 8:03 and my hubby is a space nut and loves seeing all that stuff. But it was very foggy here in Louisiana this morning and we couldn't see a thing. About 8:05 he gave up, came in and turned on the tv and that's when we found out that there was trouble with the shuttle.

We need to keep all of their families in our prayers!

take care and hug your loved ones,
Cathy

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swing
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
