GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!

My oh my - I'm either sleepy or frozen solid.  :o)  It's supposed to get soooooo cold around here this week ----- but do we get any snow?  Nooooooo.  Sigh.


So, how did your Loseday go, everybuddy?  Were you able to lose the things you wanted to lose?  I wanted to lose some of the treats around here that I was going to eat even if I didn't like them.  I emptied a bunch of treats into the garbage can.  Just looking at them in there and realizing that in other years I'd have kept them around and nibbled on them until they were gone made me feel really good.


Today is Walksday!  Time to lace up your sneakers and get those extra steps.  I may get my extra steps just trying not to freeze in one place today! LOL    I'm not planning to go anywhere, but I have a lot to do around here, so I'm going to find some ways to include the steps in my day at home -- walking back and forth through the house, walking in place in front of the TV, maybe making a phone call since I can't sit still and talk on the phone. LOL  (I'll call my sister!  She's a Ravens fan, and I haven't called to congratulate her yet.  Yep, that's my plan!)


Have a wonderful Walksday, Buddies!  Enjoy all those extra steps!!


((((HUGS)))) - Karen

Good morning buddies!

The kids are done with school for the week and we don't go back until Tuesday. So, Mommy has buddy time now!

We've been so busy. We had a small area in the basement that we built into a kitchenette/bar area and we just finished it. We always have some project to do...it keeps us out of trouble, LOL!

I am finding my weight loss groove again. I went to the gym last night and it felt really good. I did 430 calories on the ArcTrainer. I also have that DVD that I ordered that I nee to check out. I'd like to do that on days that I don't go to the gym.

Have a great day buddies!

So this was the THIRD day in a row I was shoveling snow! Talk about a workout! :) Feels good tho. I kept the little one home from school today. The temperature was 8 this morning and rose a whole 2 degrees by the time the school transport van was to pick him up.... so he is watching sesame street right now. They will probably cancel school Thursday and friday, as the wind chill is supposed to be around Fifteen below. GADS! But I like the extra time I get to spend with him! Have a great Day Buddies!

You are probably burning bunches of calories with all that snow shoveling!

With record snow where I live, I have shoveled almost everyday or at least 3 times a week since the beginning of December.

Surprisingly, I had enough layers of clothes on today that I actually started to sweat on my return walk.

Hey Karen and Buddies!

Karen, I am so glad that your loseday went so well for you. It must feel good getting rid of the sweets and moving forward with your weight loss journey.

Yesterday for me wasnt about losing, actually I dont know what it was about. I have just been going to school and going to the hospital all week. I get home at night and go to bed just to get up and do it all over again the next day. I am taking the day off from the hospital tomorrow and than will be back there Friday. The good news is that my sister had surgery today and is doing well. If she continues to improve she will get to come home on Saturday. Tomorrow I will be getting back on the "diet" wagon. I am afraid that I have gained some of the weight back that I lost while sick. If I have than I have, theres nothing I can do about that. So I will be working to get that back off but this time I will do it the healthy way.

Well I am exhausted so I am going to jump off here and head to bed soon. Take care buddies and thanks to those of you that kept my sister in your thoughts and prayers!
