Healthier Living Thread Part IV

Muffie - I think it should be something new from some place other than Kmart or Target. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Target, but 25 is a great acheivement and should be rewarded with something memorable! Winter is not THAT far off, maybe some really nice wool blazer, or snazzy coat. That stuff will all be on the shelves in just a few short weeks!

Have fun shopping!!!

ps - Travel is fun - you could think about a weekend away, or a massage, or a trip to the spa to pamper your new bod....

I bet it IS - so I only hang out with myself...

Just kiddin... but seriously - my best friends back a ways used to be "eating buddies" (you've heard of "drinking buddies", well, this is the same thing)...

TY TY - I still think that you are a strong motivator for all this Muffie!

This makes sense. I'm definitely not going to be the only one ordering dessert, but if everyone else does . . . The only problem is that it's much easier to carry on a conversation over a meal than on treadmills

Tweety, I'm glad your arm is getting better--that must be really painful. Poor guy. Great news on your chol---I should have mine checked, but I've found it's better not to ask if you don't want the answer, LOL.

Muffie . . . I vote you president of this thread! You are doing amazing. I am very, very proud of you. That's a lot of weight to lose and you're doing it the right way. Good girl!!!!!

Blue's right . . . maybe a nice new sweater and definitely some new pants .

But, I don't know that jewelry's all that passe . . . If you don't want it, I know someone who does, LOL.

Zoe, you make me laugh :rotfl:

way to go everyone.

no weight loss here but that's okay. Weight gain instead but hey eventually that will go away again and I will be movin along, albeit much slower than hiker.

Boys are great. we inherited one extra child during the week, which keeps me hopping. no more snails in the house crawling around though. hurray!!!!

VBS this past week. 500 kids. i'm beat. worked this weekend after vbs was over. i like the kids, even if they do wear me out.

dh is still cute as usual. will get back to exercising this week in the evening. new goal is to eventually switch to exercising early in the morning versus in the evening. eating hasn't been good this past 2 weeks but i know that is going to correct itself too. i can see the overall eating activity level habits are changing for our little family. soooo, off i go to bed. hmmm, i think i need a "go-to-bed-on-time" habit. take care and congratulations everyone. tweet, hope you are continuing to feel better.

That would be me at Mervyn's during one one of their 60% off sales. I have been known to sign up for the credit card for another 10% off while you shop. Then go to customer service and pay off the card before the bill is even generated. Then go home and cancel the card. as soon as it arrives in the mail You can do that every year or so. I alternate between me signing up and DH signing up. Have gotten jewelry at 80% off there doing this.

I get most of my kid's clothes at second hand stores, as well as maternity when I was doing that , Someone else pays full-price for really cool clothes and we wear them for almost nothing . . . we're just a year behind, LOL.

You scamp :). I looove the way you think.

Gentle and Zoe, I used to love VBS when I was a kid. I don't think we ever had near 500 kids, although it may have seemed so to the leaders . . . Ours were always outside which made it a lot easier, I think.

Hi Zoe and Hiker,

yeah, we really had 500 kids. It's hard to believe. Well, almost hard to believe, the little buggers were everywhere. And 2 of them were mine.

I'm still recovering.

Today walked 3 miles and completed my yoga. The eating is getting better now that VBS is over.
