Good morning everyone and happy Monday to you all! We had a nice day yesterday, I got some wonderful gift cards that I will put to very good use and really enjoyed the day with my family.
I did pretty darned good over the weekend with my eating... I could have done a bit better but over all I think that I did really well. I also got to the gym both days, Saturday I met D-DIL down at her gym, we were going to grab a cycling class but when we got there the class had been cancelled so we kind of did our own thing on the bikes for about 45 minutes but Sunday I got in a full cycle class, then headed home to shower and get ready for the festivities. Over all it was a fabulous weekend!
They are calling for rain all week here, or at least a chance of it each day, I am really hoping that it holds off tomorrow so that we can have our first "Walking Group" for TOPS - will see how it goes and just hope and pray for the best.
Terri: Wonderful that you got to spend the day with your boys!
Bandit: How are you doing so far this week? I heard about a couple of good books that I need to post on here, I have not read them yet but they come highly recommended by a gal in my book club. The 19th Wife was good, very well done and the story is good, I would read more by that author.
Judy: Did you make it up to the boardwalk over the weekend? DH and I are trying very hard to plan a trip to the east coast this summer, my brother and his wife own a coffee/art shop in Va and DH wants to see some of the sights around Washington DC and I want to stick my toes in the sand at the beach so it looks like we are going to make a mini trip... an evening on the boardwalk enjoying the sights and sounds is in order too!
Life: How are you doing?
Cherry: How was your mothers day? I hope that the kids were healthy and that you were feeling well and able to enjoy the day.

Nice sunny day up here & it is suppose to be a pretty good week weatherwise,
which will be nice. Bought a new lawnmower and it sure made cutting the grass alot easier, so that is under control.
Weekend was not so good as far as food went. This dating stuff really
makes it difficult to stay on track over the weekend. I ended up going to Lone
Star Sat evening and had ribs which are very high in points. Yesterday
was OK since I had Swiss Chalet with my dd & exhusband. So have to
behave rest of the week.
Next weekend my trailer park opens, so hoping to get up there & get things
set up for the season.
Tonight getting in my walk and will be having talapia fish for dinner, which
is low in points.
All - hope you have a great week and rock the scale!
The weather is finally warming up!!! Hopefully will be nice for the long weekend (next week). Very busy at work, not enough hours in the day! Tonight the nurses in the building are doing our CPR refresher so will be a long day won't be home til late. I did plan and have food packed for supper.
Bandit What trailer park are you in? There are so many lakes around just wondering if you are near by? We go to Centennial Lake near Bonnecho provincial park. A long drive but a nice waterfront lot, privacy.
Princess Glad you had a wonderful weekend! Lots of exercise!!! Good for you!
Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday to you all! Chance of rain here today so not sure how the whole walking group will work out, will keep my eye to the sky and my fingers crossed.
Bandit: Congrats on the new mower! We got DH a new one a couple of years ago and like you said, it makes a difference! Best wishes for a great week!
Judy: How are you doing? I hope that you are having a wonderful on plan week!
Terri: Great job in planning with your food, etc. It really makes a difference on those long days when you have your meals with you. I love spending time on the water but we have to drive a ways to get to anything worth vacationing at but we do try at least once a season to get up to Lake Mich.
Life: How are you doing?
I tried to do my new Zumbe Wii work out last night... LOL - ugh, I am soooo out of shape! I lasted maybe 15 minutes and I sure don't remember the moves being that hard - will keep at it though. Doctor called back with my results... nothing torn in the shoulder just a moderate case of arthritis - I have two choices, therapist or a shot in the shoulder... not loving either one of them so I told her I would think about it and see what my insurance would cover and get back to them. I mean, if it is arthritis do I need to do either of them? It is not like arthritis goes away right? Any help here from someone who knows would be very welcome.
Princess- what do you think of the Zumba wii game? I have been trying to decide if it is a good purchase or not.
My scale broke so i am not sure what i weigh but i know it is not good. I just cant seem to even get started anymore. I know this sounds negative and i appologize for that. When i try to make a goal or get started i feel like i have failed before i even start.
Another nice day & since I got side tracked last night with getting together all
my yard waste/breaking down boxes for recycling I didn't get in my walk last night. But I do have enough leftovers for my supper tonight, so planning
on walking before Biggest Loser. The tilapia turned out nice and I made
mashed cauliflower with light cream cheese & abit of butter along with
asparagus - so very low point dinner.
Terri - my trailer is 1/2 hour north of my house off of Island Road in Port Perry
Park is called Goreski Lakeside Recreation. Nice park but it is on Lake Scugog
which isn't the best. But I wanted something close to home that I didn't have to drive far or go on big highways. And no excuse not to get the use of it since it is close. 2 minutes from Blue Heron Casino.
Princess - too bad about your arthritis, I have a bad knee and find the more walking I do the better it feels. If I don't go for a week, it seems to be more bothersome. So, maybe yours would feel better with gentle movements but
I really don't know. And I love the hot-tub & find that just makes everything
better.
Cherry - nice to see you posting & heres hoping you do what you can.
It is tough with being so busy with your little ones & we all get sidetracked
trying to do this. Maybe just try and change 1 thing for awhile & then keep
adding little things along the way. Good luck.
Hope everyone is having a good week! I woke up with a sore shoulder (CPR recert last night!) and have red goopy eyes. Not sure if it is just allergies? I am afraid to step on the scale I know I have overdone it this week! Poor me!!
Bandit it would be nice to have a place closer to home, you could commute to work if you wanted! But it is nice to have somewhere to get away, and be close to the casino!!!!
Princess try the physio I think it will help. Its a lot of work but you can learn the exercises and do them at home.
Cherry just keep at it it will click.
Judy that walk/lunch must have been a great time!!!!
Must get back on track, water, power foods keep at it!!!!!
Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday to you all! Very warm here in the midwest right now, we were in the 80's yesterday and very muggy, we are supposed to cool down a bit for the weekend though with lots of rain in the forcast.
Went to walking group last night, one gal from TOPS showed up and a few of my family members did too - I walked for 50 minutes straight at a nice pace so it was a good work out.
My TOM showed up yesterday... I was so angry, I thought "REALLY!?!?!" I mean you were just here less than two weeks ago did you have to come back so soon!?!?! I guess I am starting menopause and just need to get used to it but how is a gal supposed to lose any weight when she has her period twice a month!
Boss just called... I have to run but will pop back in a bit to finish up!
Have a quick minute so thought I would hop back on:
Terri: Yep, I am thinking that therapy is going to be the way to go, the shots cure nothing so they are not an answer for me at this point. I stopped and got some Glucosamin type stuff that is supposed to help joint health and am still checking into insurance so will just see what happens.
Cherry: Too soon to tell on the Zumba but I will say this, the beginner level of the DVD is fast paced and moves very quickly so don't get frustrated if you can't keep up right away - I would imagine it is going to take some practice to get that right. I have taken classes before but this is a bit more advanced I think so it will take some getting used to for me.
Judy: How was the boardwalk and lunch?
Bandit: Your supper sounds like it was very good! Good luck at W/I tomorrow night! Yeah, the arthritis is no fun at all, actually this getting older thing is not what it is cracked up to be at all... LOL.
Have a great day all!

Gals, I need to start a new thread. Thrilled so many of you are doing great.
We ate out 5 times last week and I'm up 1.2# at WI. Yesterday was a very good day. Today will be also. Boardwalk and lunch were wonderful. I'm dealing with the fear of going back to 200# after taking years to break it.
Very emotional.
I love you all. Just don't have time to reply to all your writing. Will start the new thread now and see you all at #255 Bale of Turtles Hearing that Click!
Judy
