Happy Saturday morning girls. It is the beginning of a 3 day weekend for me so I am happy. After one week back at work I need it to catch up! I came home and cooked last night. I have a little more cooking to do today and I'll be set for another week. I went to my yoga class Thursday night and loved it. I think I have lucked on to something really special, this class seems so authentic to me. The instructor is Indian, her yoga center is on top of the highest mountain in town with the most beautiful view. Well, I could gush on and on about her studio, but the result of the class was just so nice. It left me feeling refreshed and wonderful. I am looking forward to next week and thinking how to incorporate yoga during the week as well. Also, I think judi asked how I like my treadmill. I am so happy I bought it. It seems like 30 minutes on it gives me energy for the rest of the day. So far I find I have been crashing and burning on the couch in front of the TV a lot less lately. Definitely something that needed to happen. I am also losing christmas lbs. at a steady pace. I guess it'll take all of Jan. to recover but when I finally do I plan to once and for all break the weight that always is the stopping point for me. I have been there 3 times now and enough is enough. My cooking project for today is to make ground turkey meatballs and I am going to bake a spaghetti squash to go with them. Hope you are all well and enjoying yourself. Hope you are keeping warm Miss Alice.

Aleka, yes i hope you and lacee are staying warm. i think of you when tuffy and i are in front of our stove. i hope your day was a good one and maybe jsut little bit warmer. ours was real nice. had a great walk. just in neighborhood.

to the rest of you so glad all is going good with you Ledom. one good thing is after we blow it on holidays we are back with our programs. this is great to move forward. together is fun to sharing and doing it togehter. hope all of you have had a great day. Hey Judi Hope your having a great time. a grandma yet/???? let us know. enjoy the nice weather. LaDean :)

Good morning,

It has gotten a bit warmer, it's in the 20's and 30's which seems like a heat wave. But, it is snowing out. Supposedly we're only to get about an inch, we'll see.

Well, girls, I've just about made up my mind to join WW again on Tues. They moved the meetings a little farther north, and yesterday DH & I went for a ride to find where they were. It's not that much further and is easier to get to than where the meetings used to be held. A month or so ago, when I went into WW to find a meeting I saw that they had moved. I looked for directions and they had me going so far out of my way. Then I went online again and the directions were different. Don't know if they moved or if they were wrong in the first place. I gave myself 2 weeks to do it on my own, but it didn't work. I also want to take advantage of the special they are having where you don't have to pay a registration fee, just the weekly meeting fee.

ledom, glad you are liking your yoga class. I have always wanted to try it. Do you only go once a week? Congratulations on losing the lbs. you gained around the holidays.

LaDean, that's nice you got a walk in. I can't wait until I'll be able to walk outside again. I do see people walking outside in this weather, but I can't stand the cold. Lacee and I are warming each other, so we're staying pretty warm.

Hi Judy, Cheryl, hope you're both doing well.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Aleka, so glad its warmed up there. snow still geeeee. i am so glad ours is gone and for good i hope.ha glad you and lacee are staying warm. Oh that is so neat your going to join ww. I know the decision will be what you want. i got all the books and so do it off and on. yes this is a good time to join. i may join the prism next spring. i belong to tops and for a long time but the group help keeps me going to. we need this i think. so good luck to you.. yes i love my walking. so glad the ice never lasted

Judi.... hey a grandma yet/???????? i am hoping soon. have a fun time there. lots to do and all. and what a feeling to be a grandma. i sure remember the time. the greatest ever....

Cheryl and Ledom.... hey you 2 have a good day. hope its going good for the both of you. my neighbor takes yoga and she swears by it and loves it. your scenery is worth it all i would think. i also have thought of it and never did it.

Sunday evening
 

Hi girls!

Nope, I am not a grandma yet, still 8 days to go. I am hoping she will go in early. I went in early by 3 days. A lot better than waiting. I have been looking and looking at baby things.

Wow! Alice! you guys have have been taking a beating from the weather. You are about due for a nice break. How is Miz Lacee handling it? It very sunny here but windy. Marley's coat is long again and he hates having it blown around. Poor guy!

Good for you for joing WW. I am still doing the online thing,

Tomorrow is my weigh day but I weighed a day early and I lose 1, 2, 3, 4, FIVE pounds this week! Alleluia!!

The yoga sounds serentipidous Ledom. Good for you...treadmilling, yoga, weight lifting and kayaking that is pretty impressive!!

We are going to be leaving for Death Valley next Sunday, the weather is supposed to be in the 80's. It is raining at home so that suits me fine.

LaDean what is "prism"?

Have a good week everyone!

Judi, Oh i know the time is getting more exciting day by day. i know when i was a first grandma it was my son and wife. but oh my i could hardly wait. waited for the phone to ring all day.. then when it did i let out a scream of joy. and we headed for the hospital. what a day. you will love it. A feeling that just cannot be explained really. Now do they know the sex of the baby?? Hey enjoy the weather and all the fun to. is so neat you could go and be with her. You just enjoy looking at all the baby things to this is just a beginning. i would go shopping and find my self in that area all the time. Prism is a group with Bible Study. no sugar and white flour products it amts to. got me off the sugar and all. so i am around the plan alot still. I do a Daily Bible study with my plan.

Aleka, good morning and hope your getting to be warmer and warmer, is time i would think.ha we are having our rain. which i really do not mind at all. I do not even mind walking in it. daughter got me a new coat rain repellent and hood so out i go. so comfy.ha I had to off days. never over did just off my schedule. good luck on the ww. so glad you have gone for it again. I am going to do Kelloggs again this week. then have not decided yet. going to get on ex bike here pretty soon. got it in a good place right here in this room next to stero and all. i have 2 other things i might do today to. want to add to. have a good day. woof to lacee.

Ledom and Cheryl... hey girls we can and we will do it all together. i love this sharing and all. it keeps me on my feet. have a good day. LaDean

Good morning everyone,

It's not as cold as it was, but it's still pretty chilly. We're supposed to get back into the frigid weather tomorrow and they're saying it will only be a glancing blow. We'll see. :s:

judi, congratulations on your weight loss! 5 lbs.!!! That's fantastic. :cheer: Did you get WW fast track plan, the one you follow for 2 weeks? I'll be going to my first WW meeting tomorrow, but don't know if I will follow it or not. From what I've read, you eat 20 points for the first 2 weeks, no flex points, then after that you eat your target points. Glad that you're having a great time on your trip. Marley must have his winter coat. I know when we go to FL in the winter, poor Miz Lacee still has her winter coat and gets rather warm. Lacee doesn't like the cold weather, she goes out, does her duties, and comes right back in.

LaDean, let me know how you like the Kelloggs plan. DH & I did it a year or so ago and only lasted about a week. We were starving all the time. Hope you have better luck with it than we did.

ledom, hope you're having a nice long weekend.

Cheryl, whatcha been up to??

Have a great day.

Morning girls, great weight loss week you judi, good for you. I've been losing good too, that is until this weekend and the scale got stuck. Oh well, I am doing the right things so I'll just keep doing them and it'll start up again. Soon I hope!

One of my best friends left her husband this week. She is my age and has been needing to do this for a long time. She came over to tell me about it and she just seemed so relieved. But oh, bless her heart, I would so hate to be going through that right now. In 2 weekends 3 of us are going away for one of our girlfriend spa retreat weekend up in the mountains. I am so looking forward to it.

You girls take care. I am going to enjoy my day off today by building a fire in the fireplace and getting my homework done for tomorrow.

Hello and good morning,

I did it! I joined WW yesterday. I am motivated to start doing it again. We got 2 weeks free for WW's e-tools to keep track of your progress. I might just check it out.

ledom, that's great news about you losing weight. Keep it up! I'm sorry that your friend's marriage broke up, but since she's relieved it must be a good thing. It's tough going through something like that at any age, but I think when you reach our age you feel a bit more confident and independant than you did when you were younger. At least that is true for me.

judi, LaDean, hope you both are doing well.

Have a great day ladies.

Congrats on joining WW Alice, I know you feel better when you have a plan going and WW works for you. You know you're right about having more confidence at our age. She seems ready for change so I'm all for her. I just know I am glad that part of my life is behind me 'cause it was tough and I like the more settled feeling I have now. On the other hand, you never know what is around the corner. One should never get to comfortable I guess. Yoga tomorrow night, I can't wait.

Good evening everyone,

I had a good diet week so far. The first day I was kind of hungry, but it got better as the week went on. Hopefully I'll be able to get to WW next Tues., as they are predicting some snow & sleet Tues. morning.

ledom, how did your yoga class go? I am glad that you are enjoying it so much. Did you have a good diet and exercise week?

Have a great weekend ladies.

I turtled this week. but got off plan some. the snacks. no sugar. i sure can feel getting off it this time after the holidays. lol my fault though. just light headed and weak and all. but i will overcome it. this has been a good week off it. I was happy cause was up alittle bit and loss that. so can not complain
Hey Aleka so glad your week has been so good. good for you. I am glad your with ww. i may be counting my points and on it this week. getting bored with the calorie ct. i go back and forth. I hope you get to your meeting this week. they say snow here for 1000 feet that is higher then us. so i am praying will pray for yours to. lol tuffy hates this rain to.. its pored here all day. i mean alot of it. but i just got in from a nice walk in it. daugher got me a rain coat with hood so no umbrella to get arm tired out. lol so out like a little duck i go. love the rain. then swept the curb down back and forth down 3 houses to get the water running down street and not so much at our end. so good exercise. blood pressure is good to. so all in all i feel so good and glad you do to..

Hmmmm.... Looks like everyone has been as busy as I have lately :) I haven't even had time to LURK in almost 2 weeks now--I hate it when that happens!!

Everything is going well for me. I'm taking the 1st of 4 training tests I have on Wednesday. Cross your fingers for me.

Lost a pound over the week-end. Hope it stays gone :)
