I've been sick with allergies and now a sinus infection. I haven't been up to too much other than going to the store. My shoulder also has been hurting bad. I'm going to get moving asp when I can get some energy. _________________

This is good....Allie, Mary, Nita, and Barb... Cool!
Well, I weighed myself today...not a pretty picture....158 lbs. Not exactly jumping for joy over that number. And after reading some...the whole menopause issue...more possible weight gain with that. Oh...this just keeps getting better! Double whammy on the whole weight gain issue...this just isn't fair! Ok...I definitely have get a workout program going....cause, yes, Kay....I'm fighting aging tooth and nail! And I'm not blimping out any more than I already have...which is more than I ever weighed. Ugh!
So, walked today! Allie thanks for the exercise tips...and I probably will be doing my walking in the morning early. I won't have to worry about a time crunch with everyone's schedule. Mary...reading your "light" workout...uh...I've got alot of work to do to even come close to your stats!!! Definitely an inspriation to reach for! Cool, Nita for getting back at it...and Barb, feel better soon to join us.

Deb, my goal weight is about what you weigh now! I'm tall so in the 150's is not bad for me. Early morning walking sounds great to me. _________________

Morning Barb!
I can see that. You are tall...and you can carry 150 lbs nicely. My Aunt is about your height and she would look real good around that weight. The number itself does vary from person to person depending on the build.
Me...I'm 5'5" and medium build...so my ideal weight ranges from 120-130. I definite feel the difference heavier...at about 125, I feel my best...full of energy and unburdened in movement. And that's where I want to be...just feeling better. _________________

You all have inspired me. I went running yesterday and now I can hardly make it up the stairs It was nice to run without feeling like I was going to pass out! Yay lung capacity!!!
I am also doing a dance at my kids' school. The teachers and PTA board are doing Michael Jackson's Thriller dance for the dance festival next week. OMG... It's gonna be too funny!! I'm wearing a prom dress (ripped and dirty) and we'll all be zombie'd with makeup and stuff. Anyway, daily dance practice has been a workout too!! _________________

Nicole, that dance sounds like fun and should be a wonderful memory looking back on it one day too.
Deb, how did you know how tall I am? I didn't know I metioned it.
I walked last night just a tad bit and about 3 blocks today at a block at a time meaning I rested inbetween the blocks. _________________

Well, this thread is timely! I also have started trying to exercize and eat better, I was doing great for a couple of weeks but just passed 4 days without doing any!
I got up to about 5 miles a day walking, and was trying for a goal of 30 miles a week. On the rainy days I did the stairs in my building 4 or 5 times (its a 12 story building, I live on the top floor, so I would walk down to the bottom and back up 4 or 5 times) the first time I did that my calves were SO soar! Wow!
anyway, trying, like jahunta, to do several small meals. I just need to keep disciplining myself to do some kind of exercize every day!

Hi Deb, you are very observant noticing I'm tall in my picture.
I am so proud because yersterday I walked about 2 whole blocks all at once which I have never done that much at one time in years. I usually do a block at a time. _________________

Ok I think I am back. Damn it's been a zoo around here! Part of it is Kevin's fault too DH saw the pic of Layla. He's been talking about getting another dog and by golly last Sunday we went to adopt a pet. He picked out a year old female black lab. They spayed her Tuesday and we picked her up yesterday. Buddy is doing ok with her. She has to be on a leash tho, so my exercise is running thru the woods as she chases Buddy.
Oh, we call her Missy but I wanted to name her sissypoo since she is Buddy's sissypoo now.
I swear I am going to get back in the basement by Monday!
My diet has sucked... lol.. McD's on Monday and yesterday. But that's about all I ate too, so still holding my own at 130. Catch yaz later!
*smoochies*

Thanks Allie. Do we get pictures of sissypoo? I love those animal pictures. It sounds like the lab will keep you in shape.
I walked around my apartments last night to the size of 3 whole blocks! I did stop twice though to talk to the same nighbor who was working on his car. Today I walked around the nursing home and danced my butt off to music tonight. My friend who was over tonight had asked me had I lost some weight. _________________

My dogs walk me twice a day...around the pasture and up a small mountain (bigger than a hill ) and back....I really miss it when I don't get to go....hubby rides on Wilson the name I gave to his RTV and calls that walking the dog .
The rest of my exercise has been with my eyeballs reading my new books and loving every minute of losing myself in it.. so yes, I would say I am pleasingly plump or as hubby calls me HEALTHY....
