Hi from across the St. Lawrence!! I live directly across the river from Kingston, ON and feel Canadian by association. Actually, my grandfather and his relatives are from Picton, ON.

Anyhow...just had to add to the weather reports. It was beautiful here on Saturday and I walked about four miles (don't know the kimmies) and rode my bike about four as well. But yesterday and today have been very foggy and soggy. Our snow has all melted and now we enter the MUD season. Twice in two days I've taken my dog and son for a walk and got rained on on the way back. Oh, well, that's why God made blowdryers, right?

Okay...just saying HI!!

Kris

OH!!! And the robins are everywhere!! So are the GEESE!! And the Simcoe (the ice breaker) is scheduled to head up the river any time now!! My favorite signs of spring!!

Hey all!

Its been raining allllllll day!!! T-storms too!!!! Had a friend here for the day, went to Williams for coffee (yummmY) then went to the mall...I bought the new "eye intesifiing" make-up fomr Almay! I am soooo excited!!!

Brandon has to have surgery they will do one foot at a time. The foot that has all ready been done will be done first. They will be fusing 3 large bones together. But first he needs to loose some weight the Dr. said, hes 6'2 and 250 lbs, he wants him down as low as he can go because this will be a hard surgery (which we know from experience already) so now I feel like I have a diet buddy at home.... much easier.

weather is beautiful here...don't know what the forecast is...but right now it feels like spring.

It is incredibly windy here today. I will not be biking!

Oh say! fitgal2 ... I was in London last evening. DH the carpenter needed some things from Home Depot.

Hello everybody . . . sorry I didn't wake you this morning. So far, no snow, ice, or rain is falling (and it's now noon) but it is definitely a dull, windy day.

I've been busy playing around with FitDay vs Nutridiary and trying to decide if I want to replace my personal little Excel program with one or the other of those two. So far I'm leaning toward Nutridiary because it seems to log meals better for future reference. Anybody got any suggestions? Or preferences? that you're willing to share. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Carol . . . good on you for 2 lbs gone to ugly-pound-heaven . . . and very glad to hear your Dad is doing better. Here's an advance dose of for thursday.

Ilene . . . glad you had a good yoga camp. You got me thinking about how much I used to like yoga (back in the days when the earth was new and I was thinner and more supple). So I ordered Peggy Cappy's "Yoga For The Rest Of Us" in the hopes I can get started again. Unfortunately the confirmation from Amazon says not to expect to receive it before mid-April. What the are they cutting this DVD especially for me?

Techwife . . . a welcoming for our new part-time/almost Canadian. Fitgirl . . . a welcoming for our new full-time/real Canadian. Glad to have you both with us. We love lot's of company.

Angie . . . good eating, girl. for Brandon. Wowee, this is like getting a 2fer. Two exercise buddies in the same household = two sets of good everytime you post.

Susan . . . Always glad to hear from you, too. You can keep your windy stuff . . . I don't need anymore.

Have a good day, gang. We'll see you soon. Keep on doing the good stuff.

hi everyone.......

i am a fellow canadian... i live in Nova Scotia......

i just found the board today..... i hope to get to know you all......

Hey Goy and

Meowee -- they must be cutting the tape just for you or maybe personalising it with your name dubbed in where it says : "Now, meowee, take a deep breath." ...

Today was EXTREMELY windy here and now it's snowing... DANG!!

Food has been good, had a great leg workout this morning... I did a few excercises that I used to do 20 years ago when I first started weight training, stuff with cables... it was fun and I'm sure I'm going to feel them tomorrow ... I believe in the moto "No pain, no gain" , but it's not for everybody though....

Hi all. Major wind around here since yesterday afternoon and that darn snow showed up again. grrr

Meowee - thanks for that willpower dust, i think I'll need it!

Angie - sorry to hear Brandon requires surgery, I'll be sending good wishes your way for getting through it all OK

Welcome everyone new!

Holy windchill factor, Batman!! You know, you'd think being a North Country Mamma and having real Canadian blood streaming through my veins that I'd be able to take that howling wind today. I've had many weeks where the high temp is minus 30 F at high noon, but this damp, cold wind is horrible. And its flurrying on and off again, too. At least the back yard is freezing again so I can let my dog out and he won't turn my kitchen into a mud explosion.

Okay...that's the report from the deep south...across the river, anyway.

meowee here is the weather report from ontario. it's cold, windy and it snowed. i'm off to the ymca. glen

Cold and windy here to ... I'm off to the gym I'm going breakdown and run on the dreadmill ... Going to work on shoulders too, tonight I have swimming ...

It is beautiful here, but oh how easily it can turn on you.

nothing planned today, did my lil errands yesterday, even went out last night to talk to a costumer. My youngest son's school is doing the play Aladdin and they asked me to give a hand, I do alot of theatre. And so went and did the Im begging.stealing and borrowing these. It was great since I got to visit for a bit with alot of people.

so today will be a bit of cleaning,,,bathrooms, laundry,,,(folding)

Well everybody, looks like you did your best/worst; but we didn't get the really bad weather they were predicting. It rained a bit, but that's all. The radio this morning was yelping about some slippery highway problems in the province, so I guess we just got lucky.

A great big welcoming for you Goy. Glad to have you with us. Hope we'll see you often. Where in NS are you? I'm in Pictou. Did you get the bad weather?

Hope you both have good workouts, Ilene and Glen. Wow, wouldn't I be shocked to finally get that DVD and find my name on it.

Hope the dust helped, MrsMoby. Here's some more, just because none of us can every really get enough.

Alladin is always a favourite with the kids. Have lots of fun putting it together, Angie.

My day started out really well. Finally, I got to move my ticker-slider a whole 2 pounds. Then reality dawned. Have you ever had those feelings that something is just not quite right about something? Well, I was feeling tht way about the excel program I use to track my calories, etc. Anyway, I finally discovered what it was. When I added the calorie counter to the program I neglected to readjust the carbs --- When I was using the program just to track carbs for the purpose of controlling my diabetes, I only wanted to deal with "net carbs" (total less fibre). Of course, when you count calories, the fibre calories have to be counted, too. Sooooo, I'm as happy as can be about getting the scale to cooperate finally. But I'm kind of elated/disappointed (don't really know which) to discover I've been underestimating my calories consumed for the last 10 weeks by approximately 12.5%. Now I have to get used to about 200 calories less but hopefully the rate of loss will speed up a bit. I'm also having trouble getting the program rewritten (can't cross balance), but I'll find the bug eventually.

Better get back to the program or I won't be keeping track of anything today. Have a great one, gang. We'll see you later.
