Greetings. Deb is going to put a sticky on this thread and eventually delete the other.

It's a holistic thread, talking about all apects of health, not just diet and exercise, but the mind and spirit as well.

Just got back from our little weekend get away. We did manage to find an affordable bathroom vanity to replace the one that got water damaged, and got a mirror to match. This bathroom needed a little sprucing up anyway, so once they patch the holes and reinstall everything the final product will be a tad nicer.
I was a very good girl while we were gone. Lots of Retail Therapy (to quote Tweety). I had my pedometer on and clocked in 8000 steps Sat. while we shopped all over town. I definately took advantage of the Presidents Day sale at Mervyn's! :yelclap:
And we ate out a lot, but I was good there too. Remembered to ask the waitress to not bring bread, skipped the potatoes and focused on some fabulous grilled mahi mahi with veggies and rice one night, smoked turkey with beans and coleslaw that was NOT drowning in dressing the next night. Did throw in a couple of beers, but that was the worst of it so I'm pleased.
Well Rain, no such luck in the little towns. But Blue had an idea next time I go to the springs - I will have to take a peak - I love Wild Oats. :) Gosh, I haven't been to the Springs in I'll bet 8 months or so, been so busy. I need to do that.
Blue, do you live in this area - don't say where if you don't want to, just curious if you were getting bombarded by this #@!!! snow too? BTW - I am glad your house is getting put back in shape. Yeay!!!
Cas - sounds like you are doing tons of exercise - good for you! I am really bad about exercising. I can make myself eat right, but I have a hard time getting up the motivation to exercise. We have a nice staircase to the basement here at work, so I am thinking about doing some laps up and down the stairs on my breaks. I think I will start that today actually - hopefully that will help wake me up too - LOL!
Hi Zoe!!! You know - talking about the 5 lb. weights is making me think. Maybe I should bring some into the office and use them too. It seems like the only "down time" I have is at work, so I should make use of it - huh?
Hi Muffie & Tweety!!! :)
Hello anybody I missed.
Well - aside from my usually being horrible about exercise, I had clinicals this weekend and it was a hoppin', so I definitely got in plenty of steps - yeay!
I don't remember if we had them on w/e's or not. Did you have a choice?
xoxo
:biggringi Present, "just because". Guess what it is?
Aww, thanks Zoe. I am in the evening/weekend class because I work during the days. We go to class Tues/Thurs evening from 6-10 p.m. and then we have clinicals/labs on the weekends. It makes for some loooooong hours, but it is great because otherwise I couldn't do it since I can't pay my bills without my job. Yeay for schools who believe in flexability!
Hi, everyone!! It's me again, back on the diet "wagon"!
I'm in I'm going to eat fewer snacks, except for fruit, veggies and whole grain. And . . . stop eating while I still have food on the plate. We'll see how this goes . . .
Sarah, we have had Saturday clinicals and I loved them--it was so much easier to find a babysitter and parking was a breeze, LOL. I've seen students at the hospital where I work doing clinicals on Sundays--even some all night; that would stink, though.
Aww, thanks so much Zoe!!! :) I looooooooove flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right back atchya then.
Hi prmenrs, I'm trying to get back on the wagon myself. I have been pretty good lately, but I have trouble on the weekends and during clinicals. So anyway, I am starting off my day with a huge gulp of water - think it's a 32 ozer or so - yeay!
Hey hiker, we do both Saturday & Sunday, but it's really quite fine with me and you are so right about the parking! :) I don't know about graveyards either though - I don't think there would be enough going on to keep us really busy enough to get all the info we need for our databases & care plans. Ah well, we do morning shifts some weekends & swings others, so that works well.
Ok everybody - we are giving out commodities today in my office, so that will keep me hoppin' and probably work great for my exercise.
Yeay for schools who believe in flexability!
