Good job reassessing Susan. Weight loss can be very depressing since it takes so much longer to lose than it does to gain. You're doing great.

Rivergal, great to see you. Enjoy your quiet house. That can be so fantastic!

I woke up early this morning and decided to get up and exercise before work (I never do that). So I WATP for 2 miles and it's done for the day. YEAH!!! It was sort of funny though since I was yawning all the way through it - making my eyes water. So there I was with big tears rolling down my cheeks. I probably looked quite a pretty site. :) But regardless, I get an evening off after work. Definitely worth it.

Well, I should look at doing some work since that's what I should be doing.

I have visions of Marie's neighbours watching through binoculars. "That poor woman. She's exercising so hard it's making her cry."

Hey, I did the 2 mile WATP this morning also. :carrot: We are all just walking out behinds off, and I hope for me that's literally what is happening :D
I ad been a little lazy this week, just doing the one mile for a couple of days because I could not get my self out of bed. I find it almost impossible to do it in the afternoon or evening either one with the whole family either trying to help or laughing. In the morning no body is up yet so they leave me alone to do it.

Hi All :wave:

Susan B Good Job on reassessing. Life style changes are nothing to sneeze about. Thats a fantastic acheavement. The altimate goal is to make long tern life changes and you have made it happen. That's very exciting.

My hubby has been teasing me about making him too health. So last night my hubby said we needed some "bad food" We went to Wendys. I did ok got the grilled chicken plain and a side salad with fatfree french dressing, So I ended up with about 220 cal's and 3 grams of fat. So I was feeling pretty pleased with myself.

I talked to DEE the other night. It was great. I cant wait to talk with her again. We need to get her motivated in the exercize department.

I found a great book that I ordered (christmas gift certificates) Its called 90 Day Fitness Walking Program By M Fenton. Has anyone used this book? If I understand it right its like a work book.

Dose anyone know how to set up a link from our old thread to help everyone come over?

Rivergal60 How many miles you got racked up for the month? You are doing some serious walking.:sunny:

Maria Good going on your 2 miles in the am. Morning exercize is very modivating for the day and a good reminder of what its all about.

Betty K Great going. :cb: Whats your total?

Heard from military boy again:D :

Hope you all have a great friday
Karla

Morning everyone. I just love weekends. I went shopping last night and goot a few long sleeve knit shirts and a couple sweatpants for myself. The sweatpants are for doing my WATP. It was fun shopping by myself.

I walked last night and will walk again this afternoon. I "paid" myself my walking miles by putting $28.00 in a savings account for the 28 miles I walked in 2 weeks. I'm saving up for a new large screen projector for our entertainment system. My old one has a shadow on the picture and gets a little annoying when watching movies.

Well, I hope everyone is having a great day. I know I'm very happy about it being the weekend, and a long one at that since I took Monday off too.
Marie

Hi all :wave:

Where is everyone? Did we loose them with the thread move? I hope we didnt loose them to a post newyears drop off. Oh well, I will continue to post until I hit my goal. I am very committed to this. I am very committed to myself.

Marie what an awsum idea to pay yourself for each mile you walk. 28 miles that's fantastic. :cb:

Rivergal Way to go :cp: 2 :cp: pounds thats great. You are very smart to be careful with your goals. Realistic acheavable goals keep you going, taking one day at a time is a very good idea goal and additude.

Well that's it for now. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Trying to prepare myself for my monday weigh-in

Hello 40 + Fit and Fab group!! Special Hi to MMarie if she remembers me!Lol I saw this thread and thought I'd hop over since pretty well everyone on my thread has lost their weight but me!lol And since I'm going to be 42 in a few months, and WANT to be Fit and Fab...What more perfect thread could I pick to join???

Hope I can jump in...I saw the walking posts. I walk home from work every once in a while. It's about a 2mile walk...well it takes me about 35 minutes and I'm a fast walker. I really should be doing it every day that's not snowing or raining. That would put me about 4 miles a day.

I'll check here tomorrow to see if it's ok to join!

Hi Hots, great to see you. Of course you're welcome. I'm still struggling away, more than usual since the portions don't seem to want to shrink. I'm in an eat it mood. I keep trying. Definitely I have made a good change with the exercising though.

today, I didn't WATP, I huffed and puffed my way around our block. There was about 4" of snow and it is a steep hill to climb (the downside is much nicer). All together it is 1.7 miles, but it was way more work than the 2 mile WATP so I put 2 miles on my chart. Truly, it was a blast. I love walking outside with my puppies. My huskies loved being in the snow.

Well, that's about it for today. I'm not to energetic this evening. What an understatement.
Marie

Hi Hots and Marie!
Hots? ... what do you mean 'if' you can join??? Absolutely! We'd love more posters!
Karla? ... don't worry. Surprisingly for a weightloss board, posting does drop off on the weekends. It'll pick up again on Monday.
I'm about to start my 4th shift since Thursday evening and in between there I hosted a pastoral candidate, his wife and 20 youth for soup!
Very happily, I'm off on Monday.

Hi all, I finished my white sweater last night even though I knew it was too short for me. I really like it but I can't wear it. So I'm offering it to my friends here at 3FC. First PM asking for it, get it. The size is an XL Petite. DH guesses you'd probably need to be about 5' 1" to wear it. So let me know if this would fit you and I'll send it to you.

I just got home from work and my husband tells me we're going to friends' for supper. Will this weekend never end!?!?

Hi everyone,

I haven't been around in a while. I guess feeling guilty from the fast food and restaurant dalliances, and the few days I have taken off from the gym. I guess I also wanted to think that I would drop the 5 lbs I gained in December just like that cause it was relatively new weight.

Well that didn't happen. I am down 3 lbs though, and that is pretty consistent with the amount of calories I have burned through exercise at the gym according to the electronic readouts. I think I just have to accept the fact that I am never going to be the 2 lb per week loser, and not give up.

Marlene

I'm still here, but I've been pretty lazy the last couple of days. Friday I was just not feeling like doing my morning walk, but I did walk outside around a mile. Saturday and again this morning I just felt like being lazy, so it's up early again tomorrow and back at it.
I'm having venison for supper tonight, any one know any good recipes for it? The way I make it now isn't the best for dieting, but it is good.
