Oh, Apple. I am so sorry to hear about your cat. It is so hard to lose one of our furry family members. My thoughts are with you.

Busy weekend. Did not get a bike ride in today. See if I can find time tomorrow. Hope so. Did try swimming - but could only manage 10 minutes.

have a great day.

Wow. Where is everyone???

Well, here is my not so good day . . .

Exercise: 1/2 m walk, 15 min cardio, 2 sets weights, 10 min swim, walking
Breakfast: juice, omelet
snack: slice of bread
lunch: 2 slices pizza, raisens, lt pringles, 2 sugar free fudgicles
supper: cheese fries, 2 plate pasta salad

Like I said, not a good day. Hope yours was better.

Apple, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I share your sadness, knowing well what it's like to lose a loved furry one. :( I just lost a dear neighbor lady, who was always so kind to animals, including the strays. She was only 64 and went instantly it seems from a stroke. Your cat was loved. This woman was loved. Let's hope we all go as well. Take care, Apple.

Enjoy your beers.

Hi everyone, I had to go away suddenly on Thursday as my dad is really bad. He's now in the hospital and they now say he'll never be able to come home again.
We'll see. I shall read your posts later on and try to get back to my routines, but weight loss is not on my mind right now, though it still should be.
Linda

So much sad times right now. Just remember to take care of yourselves through all of this. If you don't love and take care of yourself, you wont have anything for anyone else. You matter.

I did not make it to run today. The plates of pasta I had before bed caught up with me. i woke up feeling almost hungover. I did go to the gym after church and did 40 minutes of cardio. Had a wonderful ride on my pony. Then just got done doing over an hour on the bike trail. I think I am going to try and go to the dog park. It is a bit warm, but they deserve a little treat.

the only thing I didn't get done this weekend was 1) going to my friend's barn (she cancelled) and 2) staying for the church picnic (I just all of a sudden wasn't feeling up to a crowd.) Rest of the weekend has been great. Except for the food. I have to make sure I don't schedule that many out to eats at one time agian. Even though I made healthier choices overall (OK - not hte cheese fries - it was a ball game for crying out loud!) I still ate more than I do at home. Not good. Not looking forward to the scale tomorrow. Oh well. Got to face the music.

have a good one all.

Good morning all, and welcome to a new week. I hope everyone comes back around.

I forgot to post my food for yesterday, so here goes:
Exercise: 1/2 m walk, 40 min Precor, 1+ hour bike
Breakfast: Juice, yogurt, slice of bread w/ marg
Lunch: 1/2 sub, baked chips
Supper: 2 helpings chicken alfredo

I made it to the gym this morning, but did not do weights. I really have to get off my butt tomorrow and run. I did hop on the scale, and stayed the same.

I hope this week brings better things for everyone.

Good Morning all!

I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's losses. Hang in there. It's truely is a sad time.

I had my weigh in this morning. Drum roll please....... I lost 5 pounds last week! Writing down everything I eat really has helped! I was so surprised! Going to try to keep this up. Today I plan on walking at noon and then going to the gym after work. I has a bowl of cereal for breakfast and brought Progresso soup and a nectarine for lunch.

Have a great day!

Kathy

Congrats on the loss, Kathy. Weigh to go :cb:

I did not do so well today. Here was my day:

Exercise: 1/2 m walk, 40 min Precor
Breakfast: Juice, cereal, milk
Snack: Baked cheddar and sour cream Ruffles (1/2 the bag)
Lunch: whole Cousins sub (Hey, at least I didn't down the party platter!)
Snack: Baked cheddar and sour cream Ruffles (there went the rest of the bag . . )
Supper: Chef salad

OK. So the only save is that I started feeling like since I had done so horribly, obviously I couldn't do this, and should just eat whatever. I was going to stop at Taco Bell for a bunch (read, more than one order) of nachos. I found some small smidgeon of self esteem somewhere, and came straight home.

Have a good one!

Good morning all. Not a very good start to the day so far. I did not go out for my run. First, it was raining. But that really was just a lucky excuse. Because I sure didn't try to do anything else either. I will try very hard to do my yoga tape tonight, so I at least do something, but . . . we shall see.

I really hope to hear from y'all soon. Have a good one.

Hang in there jolly! We all go through those tough spots. My weight stayed the same and it was really hard to keep motivated for the last three weeks. Then that big loss last week - it was great! It was good that you were able to skip the nachos.

I'm going to have a hard day today. I'm not going to get my walk in at noon. The office is going out to lunch (Mexican) for a co-worker's birthday celebration. I need to calculate what I can eat. I brought a can of V-8 to drink before I go so maybe I won't have all the chips beforehand. Then DH has requested Chinese for dinner. I'm making it at home so I can use low-fat ingredients, hopefully it won't be too bad. No fried rice or egg roll for me!

Have a great day!

Hey all. Not a good day. Did not get a workout in, though did get a nice ride on my horse, despite the weather.

Exercise: None
Breakfast: juice, omelet
Snack: light pringles
Lunch: ham and cheese sandwich, chips and cheese dip, two cookies (work lunch)
Supper: pizza

Hope everyone is having a good night.

I didn't have that great a day either. We went out for lunch the the Chinese for dinner. I went over by 4 points. The only exercise I got was walking the dog last night.

We have to think positive! Today will be better!

I plan on my noon walk and going to the gym after work. Brought a Healthy Choice chicken and pasta for lunch with a FF Jello pudding cup. Dinner is going to be sandwiches tonight.

BTW - Where is everyone?

Have a good one!

Kathy

Yeah, Kathy, I have been a bit concerned about where everyone is too.

I did make it to the gym this morning. Did not get weights in, but did a solid 40 mins of cardio. That was very good.

Here's to a better day!

Sorry I'm not posting. I really have little to say. My exercising consists of whatever I can do that won't have me flopping on the floor in muscle spasms. My eating .. eh. It's about the same. It really never changes much. My water is ok, I guess.

My life has pretty much come to a screeching halt till my back heals and I am extraordinarily cranky about this whole thing. :mad:

I lurk, but that's about the best I can do right now.

Raven, I hope you are feeling better soon.
