Amy, hope your birthday was a nice one. A spring birthday is really something special. Cait, I'm happy your stressful day went well. I just read that stress is the #1 "ager," so we need to be careful. Kelly, you'll get your eating back on track. I went to aquafit Wednesday (2 miles) and between Wednesday and yesterday I got in 2 miles of campus walking. I just finished 15 minutes of stretching, so I'll add that and a few stairs. 102.75/250 miles 910 stairs 130 stretching I'm planning to go to aquafit this evening, but I'll wait to add that until I ACTUALLY go!

Good Morning Walkers! DH and I left to return home to N CA from SoCal at 6 this am. No exercise yesterday and not much the last 2 weeks I had a lot of work, long hours. We did go to DD1 on Thurs eve for dinner & DGD1's Tee Ball. I was in red zone of pts Thurs when I ate some candy & pretzels before bed, but I did stop before going into full binge and went to bed. Green zone of pts yesterday & JGTB. Tonight we'll be at our usual overnight stop and home tomorrow mid day. Fortunately we've developed some healthy routines for this travel - Subway sandwiches en route and fruit, unsalted almonds, Wasa Whole grain crackers, chopped veggies. AMY - a belated Happy Birthday to you! sorry you're feeling so exhausted. I'm so glad for you about being able to make your own financial decisions. CAROL - yes I do worry about the effects of stress. But I also feel I'm getting better at managing it with mindfulness practices, prayer, 12 step work, exercise and healthy eating. GFY with the aquafit. KELLY - hope you have a good OP weekend. I know the weekends are sometimes difficult. Too bad about the munchies but at least you got in the 2.5 Miles. Every little positive effort helps! Waving at everyone! Have a great day! Cait

Well, I actually WENT to Aquafit last night, so adding 3 miles for that and some campus walking. Today I volunteered at a big plant sale and was on my feet for 3.5 hours. My phone said 3,500 steps, so I'm counting 1 mile for that and 1 mile for an afternoon of heavy yardwork. Hopefully it will be warmer tomorrow; I'm ready for a bike ride!

Good Morning Walkers! On our last leg of the drive home. It was great to see Shasta Lake full after a decade of drought - it's been years since that's happened. It's amazing that one wet winter could fill that enormous lake. It was SO low before. Here's a pic of Mt Shasta, the most famous resident of our county, 14,162 ft, well clad in snow. I was in my yellow zone of pts yesterday, 9 hour drive, made good choices, considering we did go to a brew pub for dinner and later had drinks in the hotel bar. DH loves microbrew beer - craft beer. I had the smallest servings of beer available - 5 oz - and sampled a few. No exercise. Slept 10 hours last night! Those hotel blackout curtains really work. CAROL - WTG with the Steps & aquafit & planning the bike ride. You're inspiring me to get back on my exercise regimen AMY - glad the pneumonia is over. You should gradually get your energy back. I'm glad you're back to Simply Filling - I know it's been so successful for you over the years. Waving at everyone! Have a great day! Cait

Oh, Mt. Shasta is glorious, Cait! So happy the drought has been alleviated. Fingers crossed!
Today I am taking a DOR. We went to breakfast and then a movie. Sunday morning movies are $5.00, never crowded, and it's too early for even me to have popcorn. A win-win-win! I pulled weeds for a couple of hours after we got back, but I didn't do anything strenuous. I stretched after weed pulling, and it felt soooo good!
Adding 20 minutes of stretching and 100 laundry stairs.

Good Morning!!
Sorry to be MIA. I have been sick since Thursday evening. I was in bed at 7pm and stayed there until late afternoon Friday, other than getting up for meds, bathroom, and fluids. Started with fever and GI bug that was gone by lunch Friday then lots of sinus pressure, pain, and sore throat. Went to an Urgent care on Saturday morning and got an antibiotic. Not a 100% this morning but a lot better Obviously I am way down in any exercise and my steps. It will take me a while to work back up again.
Cait: You will get back to your exercise routine. Beautiful picture.
Amy: You will lose the weight again.
Carol: Great job with all your exercises.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

Good Morning!!
Still, have no energy and some sinus pain. Made it through the day yesterday and even went to the dentist for a cleaning. Managed only a 1 mile DVD. Did not move much yesterday. I will ease back in as I definitely am not fully recovered.
Carol: Good job on your exercise.
Waving to all. Have a great day!!

Good morning. I have been so busy since I got back, I hate feeling rushed and stressed all the time.
Carol, yoga has tons of core work. Are you going to a class? I am going out this morning, didn't go last week. Hope I drank enough water yesterday, I kind of feel a little like I didn't.
Kelly, hope you are feeling better. I have a love/hate relationship with pizza!!

Good Morning!!!
I actually did not overdo it yesterday. I had 1 slice of pizza with veggies on it, 4 cheese cubes, a few Tostitos scoops with the corn and black bean salsa I made, and a small ice cream sandwich. I took a 1 mile walk last night and stepped in place for a mile while catching up on recorded shows. Uggh, been waking up with a sinus headache every morning. Fortunately, it passes after about an hour or so.
Ruth: Hope you enjoyed your yoga class.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

Pizza yesterday and the day before. I fee awful. I woe up at midnight. Tracked a recumbent bike comes today stationary has to be put together. I have nutrisystem D coming today. I eat tunafish 7 oz 2 smoothies from /ww for calcium pumpkin nd frozen peaches all 7 or 0 points /the nutrisystem is in ww tracking so 29 points available to get to 36 breakfast lunch dinner and snack with all other things I eat will be instead of peanut butter and bread. The foods are in the tracker, so I will be sticking to points and zero points for fruit and pumpkin. 1 point for tuna 1 point for vitamin 5 points for 2 smoothies from WW.I eat 3 small cans of tuna fish a day. 15 oz pumpkin 2 cups of frozen peaches.What i m replacing is the peanut butter and healthy life. I do not think nutrisystem would approve of all I eat together with it.
