Too much red yesterday! Still pretty cold here so I should do some indoor exercising. I'm going to go fill up my water bottle now so I can remember to drink up!

Donna great job on last week's goals. And with traveling and Mother's Day and everything! Is the scale showing it?

Jenn......there's accountability for you.......nothing like the red to get your butt in gear. It's cold here too. But still better than it was a month ago!

Epixi, good Monday, looking forward to you Tuesday report...and let us know how you make out finding a yoga class.

Got a swim in this am. That's gym yesterday and swimming today. My goal for the rest of the week is walk as I have only 2k in so far. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday and he was going to get "take out" (fried chicken) but then he realized that he defrosted some steak and so has to cook it. So I guess it's steak for supper! Probably barbecued. I'll have a 3 or 4 ounce piece with salad. There are so many MIAS this week and last WHAT is going on?

Got my water in today and 1338 for calories. Crazy busy day, no walk tonight. Forecast says lots of rain for the long weekend :( Will be good for the green outside though :-)
Need to dig some perennials out and get new ones! And plant my sweet peas.
Have a good one and keep on reaching those goals!

Back to my ru..routine!

Well, yes and no. I'm still cycling through the same two pounds I gain/lose every week. I've realized that I need to keep at these goals just to stay at the weight I'm at. I'm pretty light now, so don't burn off cals very fast, and unless I keep at it, I'll go 'weigh' up again.

Good morning, folks! I'm a bit short on time, so this will be brief (pffft, Epixi? Brief? Yeah, right...). With luck, I'll be able to chat later this afternoon/evening.

Not too bad, just have to remember to drink the water! It helps control blood sugar and I tend not to retain fluid. Plus my skin has never been smoother :D

Jenn

Well, I was MIA all last week. Just incredibly busy with work - still am - but will try to check in more.

Seems slow here this week too.

For Mother's Day, my kids gave me a season pass to the community pool. It opens this Friday. Lap hours are 6-9 am Tue &Th, 11:30-1 & 5:30-7 M-F. I'll definitely do the early morning swims on Tu & Th. I may get some evening swims in - my daughter and I are planning to go next Wed after she gets off work.

I've been at my new plateau for the last week or so - but I'm fine with it. Clothes are getting looser and looser. As long as the scale's not going up, I'm happy.

*****
