~ Happy April Canadian Friends ~

Raining and dreary today ....

They always seem to be doing reno's ... even since the new hospital opened. But they weren't working in the area that I was working which was "HR" ...

Not working there anymore ... I now work for a fabulous non profit that provides services to people with disabilities.

Doing Atkins right now. Tried the Up Day Down Day thing for a week or so and ordered the book. Might try it again.

I'm working on staying focused and letting go of the past. It is really hard for me to let go of the fact that I have gained back all of the weight that I lost.

Deb · 04-01-2012, 01:00 PM

Cindy dont be hard on yourself just get back on the wagon

sunny here

cindym · 04-01-2012, 04:58 PM

heard good things but never tryed it

what about running? couch to 5k is a awesome program

JennieBart · 04-03-2012, 01:22 PM

I did Pilates a few years ago. It was fun, and a good workout, I thought.

You wouldn't think that slow stretching and breathing would work up a sweat, but it does! The first time I did it, I felt it in my stomach muscles for a couple days! LOL

I'm thinking of looking around to see if I can get back into it.

Let me know if you decide to try it!

speedymagee · 04-04-2012, 07:02 AM

thanks you guys (gals!)

I did the couch to 5k, used to run, the most I ever ran was a 10k, loved it too, but feel like I want to add some muscles.

Jennie do you think a vid is the way to go to learn some moves? My library has a ton of different ones. A book? Not interested in classes.

There is a storm warning for southern alberta today. Yikes, it's +3 at the moment and lovely, kind of hard to imagine 10-15cm of snow on the way...

Deb · 04-04-2012, 07:12 AM

Yesturday i brought out some summer cloths
i am about 10 lbs heavier than last summer and my cloths fit better this summer

Muscles

and i am happy to say my bow-flex is the bomb !

Deb · 04-04-2012, 12:57 PM

so i upped my bow-flex this morning and im doing 5 sets of 10

warm and cloudy today

JennieBart · 04-05-2012, 09:43 AM

Speedy: Personally, I think a video over a book would be better, only because it's one thing to see a picture and read a description of how to do something, it's entirely something else to see someone doing it. You get that 'OHHHH!!!! So THAT'S what they mean!' kind of reaction. LOL

Way to go on clothes fitting better, Mel!

Muscles do rock! It's nice to finally be able to at least SEE some of mine! LOL (My DH says he has washboard abs, but he's just got a couple towels on top of 'em!

)

speedymagee · 04-05-2012, 02:36 PM

Mel!!! that's excellent! WTG!

speedymagee · 04-07-2012, 11:19 AM

I am making the very traditional fish tacos for Easter lunch tomorrow.

Deb · 04-07-2012, 12:44 PM

i have never made fish taco's..just replace any meat for fish..what kind of fish

weather forcast here is going 20

i am planting some tomato plants..Clematis..cherry tree and doing some hanging baskets

JennieBart · 04-07-2012, 07:45 PM

Still too cold for planting - we're getting frost at nights, so a couple weeks yet, I think.

I made some devilled eggs for tomorrow's Easter dinner, and DH is making a veggie tray, and I'm doing the homemade ranch dip.

Happy Easter to all of you if I don't see you until late!

Deb · 04-08-2012, 10:51 AM

Happy Easter Jennie

That's awesome, Mel! Enjoy the nice weather!

It still gets cold at night here, but the days aren't too bad - mid-teens. I can handle that!
