Thank you for coaching
QOTD~my danger zone is sweets, especially chocolate. I've tried to limit myself to just a small piece of candy during the day, but then I usually want more and eat 20! So, it's best for me to avoid all together. However, I am struggling with this right now. Stress from work is killing my eating. And, DSs went to a church Easter egg hunt today. They came home with a ton of candy. Luckily, I will take some of it to work or else we'd eat it all. I think they were able to get 63 eggs each!
What a succesful hunt!! And good luck with avoiding eating the candy! I have decided that besides the one bag of my favourite chocolate eggs which I already have (and which I will be sharing with my father), there will be no other easter candy for me this year!
My favorite is running. It's so peaceful to me. I wish I could find time to run more. I missed this whole week and had to substitute with my elliptical. It's just not the same. Hoping to get back on track this coming week.
Hope you will be able to get in some good runs!!
Hey everyone! Today has been a pretty successful day (not eating though). We went to an egg hunt, ran into the store to grab some meat & a prescription, put all my photos from our January trip into an album, made dinner, cleaned the windows in the living room, organized one cabinet in the bathroom (2 more to go), boiled eggs to color, made & ordered 2 coffee mugs online at Walgreens, and paid all my bills. It feels good to get things done! However, I didn't eat too good today and I did not get exercise yet. I'm planning on watching a documentary tonight that I want to show my high school students this week (I have to preview it~it's called Man on Wire) so I may do some light exercise & stretch real good.
Succesful days when you get a lof of stuff done are always good - hopefully having cleared all that will make your mind free to focus on your eating again!
It sounds like everyone is doing so well. I'm sorry for those having injury issues. I hope everyone heals up fast. Knock on wood...I've never had an injury that sidelined me, but I'm sure it is frustrating and tough. And, I'm anxiously awaiting those kitties
So, I am hosting Easter dinner this year. Typically, we have ham, kielbasa, haluski (with dumplings), a potato, salad, a veggie, and pies. My mom is making the ham, my sister is making the haluski and a cauliflower dish, so I am in charge of kielbasa, a potato, desserts, and drinks. I know I'll be making a peanut butter pie (requested by BIL), but I'll be hitting up Pinterest for other ideas. So, it's not a healthy dinner by any means, but it's a tradition for our family (from my grandma). Do you have plans for Easter dinner? If so, what do you typically have? I love new ideas! I know lots of people have lamb. Only me, BIL, and DH really like lamb, so we don't have it.
Ok, I have to get DS6 off the Wii. He is playing Wii Sports Resort and is having a blast, but it's time for a shower. We are going to try to make 8 am Palm Sunday service tomorrow. We'll see how this goes lol! I hope DSs get moving in the am!
Have a great evening

Sounds like a wonderful family Easter meal you have planned! I don't have any specific plans. Here the big Easter meal is usually a big Easter breakfast with eggs (of course), ham, sweet Easter bread (it is a braided loaf, sweet yeast dough with raisins and almonds in it) with butter and jam.
Holy craziness batman. did y'all see the announcement for the Dopey race in 2014? 4 races, 6 medals.
I would sooooo love to do this. Don't think I could, but man oh man, this would be soooo cool!
I can't imagine I would be ever able to accomplish it - but if it is something you want to do, I would say go for it!!
QOTD: I love zumba, surprisingly enough because I am a klutz! But I usually chose the elliptical because I can only make to one class a week.
So many people seem to love Zumba - maybe I ought to try it one day!
Had an awesome day today at the Renaissance Festival! Did lots, walked lots, spent lots! Got DD's hair braided into a "swirl" and it is amazing, wish I could braid like that! Both kids also got henna tattoos, which they love Saw the whip cracker and the joust to the death... awesome shows. I also got my first fitted toe ring which I love AND we all rode on an elephant, felt bad for the elephant, but they explained that the elephants work no more than 30 weekends per year plus half the money raised goes toward stopping elephant poachers in Africa, both the elephants they had were rescued themselves. So I felt a little better (if that is all true). Anyway, I still made good choices, walked 10000 steps at the festival alone, so I will probably get in 15000 steps today, and shared a turkey leg with the kiddos plus a small bit of pretzel and milkshake (plus a regular breakfast and snack on the way). Because I walked so much today I am actually way under on calories. I will need to ready a good dinner when we make it home!
Hope everyone else is having a great weekend too!!
Sounds like a fantastic day!!
Sounds like a blast!! Great pick up for the clothes and great choices for food! When I first tried low carb I hated going out to eat, but you find what works (no matter what type of diet you are on) and it gets way easier, and most places are more than happy to make changes to suit your needs. Also great job being "on your own"! Its not one of my faves either, but it sounds like you are doing great, ENJOY YOURSELF!! Also, congrats on your DD, mine was not what you would call "studious" or even remotely athletic. However she is an exceptional artist and has started her own business (so to speak, lol still waiting for the $$ to roll in ) so I missed out on all the college weekends.
Hope your have a great time!!
What kind of art is it that your DD wants to sell? Do you have any pictures? I would love to see them!

Had an awesome day today!! Managed to get back on my diet after yesterday's "free day" which I did turn into just a free meal. Stuck to my diet for Bfast before classes and then had just a nice salad for lunch. Then after getting a new living room set, we celebrated at Red Lobster!! Yep, had those yummy cheddar bay biscuits and the Bar Harbor Bake with lots of seafood and pasta. However I did order my rum with diet coke!! lol But got right back on the diet wagon today and had a great day. Found out that my dog Puck made it on the flyball team and will soon be competing in tournaments and doing demos around the area!!!
Congratulations to Puck! And you seem to be in a really good place with getting into new habits! Well done!
50sjayne, I hope your cat is doing good and I cant wait to see pics of the kittens!!!
araes2012, great job on the weight loss!!!!
For the QOTD, I would have to say its hiking. We dont get many nice days up here this time of year so its nice to get out and enjoy the mountains when they are "out", lol. Also, I do my bike and weights/floor work most days so its always nice to mix it up on my week off to take advantage of the beautiful PNW here.
Hope you all have a great night and a wonderful day tomorrow!!!
I would love to visit the Pacific North West one day and go for hikes!! Sounds wonderful!
Ahhh, sounds wonderful!!! We are supposed to GET SNOW HERE TODAY, like 12" (yeah right). Last year at this time I was planting flowers in my gardens.
Enjoy your trip!!!
Here we are still having winter weather as well - at least not 12'' of snow!!! Just bitterly cold weather...
I hope for all of us that spring will finally get here soon!!
