I saw you were gonna do a 5k run today.....Good Luck

Well...walk/run - interval style. I actually hate running but I've been on a fitness "thing" for a while and am shooting to beat my own time from Feb when I did the first one. I walk 2 miles every morning anyway, so the extra mile and a little more effort shouldn't be such a big deal (I say that now! HA!)

Thanks...

I got really sick over a year ago and decided to change my ways as well........I walk 2 miles everyday also....so far since January 08 I have lost 117 pounds...not ready for marathon's yet but I am geting there

Wow that is great heck I need to get on a diet myself had started then I stopped for a while and need to start again. You have done amazing on yours great job.

Well was stopping in to tell everyone hello and to

Okay off to super clean my bedroom got carpets to clean ect.... since I did not seem to accomplish anything yesterday hehehe

not a diet Kristi...a lifestyle change....I walk more.....eat better foods...cut out salt all together and try not to drink soda (my downfall)

I samn near died in Oct 07 and it gave me a wake up call

Since Jan 08 I've lost 45 & have 35 more as my original goal but am thinking of making it 55 more - we'll just see if I can actually get there. It's REALLY about taking care of myself, though.

The 5K was kinda hard this morning...the first leg was uphill and the wind was fierce! I only shaved 5 seconds off my Feb time (my first one) and once again placed second in class because there were two people! LOL! It's really about just doing it for me and SOMEONE had to be willing to bring up the rear!

PK and Galen..kudos to you gals!

Up until the past few months, I've never had a weight issue. Always did the walking, hiking, biking thing, but kinda backed off on it and gained 10 pounds. But, Buttercup still takes me for a walk every day and I do eat fairly healthy, no sweets and no salt, so it should come off in no time this summer.

The sun is finally out here today. Yesterday was one huge, nonstop thunderstorm from morning until about 10 p.m. Buttercup hates the thunder so it was a very stressful day for both of us. She konked out after the last clap of thunder and I didn't hear peep from her all night. Poor thing, wore herself out.

Okay, I got laundry to do and dust bunnies to chase so I'll catch ya'll later on. Have a great day!

I really haven't made too many lifestyle changes. More consistent activity, primarily - the diet is about the same - mostly fresh and healthy stuff (we just don't do a lot of junk- even my kids!)

You know what the REAL trick to better health, weight loss, etc is? BEING HAPPY! I had some life changing events that caused me to finally quit trying to please all the people who will NEVER be satisfied and it's like a miracle...

Just a question I hope you folks do'nt mind if I ask .I was wondereing if anyone has heard from Earthsprite ? I know she used to post in here and participated in your exchanges .I f anyone knows her would you please consider emailing me ! Thank you !

I haven't seen her online in a while

Try Chevy65 he might know

chevy HAS talked to her b/c I asked him awhile back. She is doing ok, but you could ask him so you get get an update....

GOOD AFTERNOON PALS HOPE ALL IS WELL

Hello all! I see you were talking about dieting and life style changes. I had started making some changes here as well, but then stopped for awhile... so I'm glad I'm on this thread because there is nothing like the gift of the present and a good walk will do me good right now. It was raining here in PA for a bit, but now it appears the sun is back out again.

Hello Grammy! I hope you are having a fantastic day today.

Welcome! So happy you joined us!

I'm off to make fried chicken...so much for the diet!!

IM GOOD HERE

HOPE YOUR DOING WELL ALSO

Happy Saturday Pals! What a busy day, looked at an apartment today and another one tomorrow. I sure hope I find one soon. Sounds like I am not the only one trying for a healthier lifestyle, we can all do it together. Holy cow, its raining so hard here, its almost coming down sideways. Guess I should shut things down in case the power goes out.
