Good Morning everyone!

Trazey--Wii boxing sounds fun!

Beverlyjoy--Congrats on a healthy day!!!

Diane--Oh no! Hope you are feeling much better soon!

jab--How are you doing?

Yesterday was my first gym workout on my "normal" schedule (last week I went to the gym T and Fri because of when I received the workout and my drs appt....my "normal schedule" is M, W, F). WOW, only one day of rest in between REALLY made a difference, LOL! I was beat by the time I was done, but felt great at the same time.

I saw this great quote yesterday "There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going...the road to success is never an easy one. Stay strong and focused on your journey". The first part is actually on the back of a necklace, the front is a small compass. It was a super bargain at Kohl's. It really struck something with me, so I "had" to have it. I am wearing it today.

Tonight is zumba and I can't wait!

Have a great day everyone!

slashnl, I've been congested too, I lost my voice for a week. Booooo for sicks.

hope you feel better soon.

So, I get weighed today at my bipolar study appt, I'm kind of 'meh' about it cuz my loss is either slowing or bouncing around too much. Going to try a low sodium day or two and see if that makes a differences.

Meeeeeer. blah. feeling so 'meh' today. I think it's this stupid weather. I WANT SUN!

I'm off work today, so very thankful...lol. Spent all morning doing errands and chores...the stuff I normally save for Saturday.

It is 39* and sunny.... hoping the snow will melt away soon!!!

The scale crept down 1-lb but for that I am happy!!

Foods have been good, doing well on my calories too. I've discovered the more stressful work is the harder it is "after" work not to overeat on those evenings. If I can make it thru the next 2 weeks without self imploding it will be a miracle. We have district mgt in for a few days and inventories etc..

My oldest daughter is going back to work at Cedar Point... this will be her third year. She skipped last year but ended up struggling piece mealing part time jobs that dried up come winter anyway. So once classes are over she is off for the summer until college starts again. She is happy. Was hesitant to tell me because she figured I would not be thrilled but to be honest it will give me a financial break. She also has friends that are going back again from different areas that she misses in the "off" season.


My middle daughter is moving to Tampa... she leaves in 11 days. I have my fingers crossed the job she has her plans on works out and she is happier...she hates living rural. Not to mention it will give me an excuse to have to go to Florida next winter for a long weekend visit. She has several friends who have moved already and plans to stay with some of them until she is settled.

So April is shaping up to be a very very hectic month already.

Once the ice is gone I am going to try to force myself to start walking to and from work. In theory I like the idea, but in reality the thought doesn't sit well. I know in the mornings I will feel rushed and worried I am not keeping up enough of a pace to make it in time, in the evenings I will be tired. It will extend my "workday" too...

It's 3-miles each way and will do me a world of good, that much I know without a doubt. I need it to warm up a bit the cold makes me hive and doesn't help my asthma. I keep telling myself walking 6 miles a day five days a week will really bump up my weight loss. I just have to find the gumption to do it....isn't that sad...lol.


Hope everyone is having a GREAT day !!

Returning to the gym today!

5:30 Zumba class..have never taken zumba before so i'm nervous but i'm sure it will be fun!
Depending on how spent i am afterwards i might stay and do some machine work.

Workout was good. Zumba was pretty fun..it was just hard to follow her sometimes(she needs to turn her mic up for one thing), someone commented to me that the other instructor is much easier to follow..a lot of people looked lost..l0l
After zumba i did 18mins on the elliptical and 5 mins on the treadmill after i did my weights.
