Hi My Name Is ...

Hi Ladies,

Sorry it has been a while. Things are going okay here in the mountains. It's cool and beautiful here. My sister and her husband are visiting, so I have been really busy. Our weather has been so wonderful.  

Jaytee, so glad you are doing well. Tenaj, happy that the hurricane is over and that you are okay. We used to live near the NC coast, and am so glad to be in the mountains. Our home insurance certainly is lower. 

Three more weeks before we cruise to Alaska. I can hardly wait. I look forward to exercising on the ship and eating some yummy food and taking in the beautiful sights. My DH and I both need this vacation. It's been a very long time since we went anywhere alone together. 35 years of marriage seemed like a good enough reason too.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and any visiting friends or relatives. I have to get out for a walk. It's too nice to stay inside.

Rocket! Happy Anniversary, enjoy your Alaskan cruise! It is a wonderful trip!! Hi, Tammy, hope you are doing great! Jaytee, so glad you are feeling better! You always inspire me!! Tenaj, thank goodness you were not affected by the hurricane!! Glad that you are safe and sound!!!

We went hiking yesterday with the family! It was fun and the weather was beautiful!! Happy Sunday, everyone!!!

hi, Tenaj!! Wow, 23 miles on your bike, that is awesome! You inspire me!! It is wonderful to be near our children and grandchildren, but we sure miss Indiana and Pittsburgh! If it wasn't for the kids, we would never choose to live in CA!  It will all work out for you, there is lots of time! Enjoy your visit with your son, and hopefully you will see your daughter soon!  Truly, enjoy your quiet time now, because once the beautiful grandchildren come, you will be busy!! A Good Busy!! Hugs and Blessings to Everyone!!!!

Hi, Tammy!! Don't Worry, you will lose that few pounds in no time!!  Wow, good for you with the running!! I am sorry to ask, but what is  a dragon boat group? I am sure that you will love the friendship and the activity! Hubby and I were in Palm Desert and Big Bear this week, I too have been gaining weight!! Let's work on this together!! We can do it!!! Exercise and good nutrition!!  I will be checking in more often!!  Hugs!!!

wow, Tammy!! How awesome!! You go girl!!!  

Hi, Tammy!! Since watching my Grandaughter, I have lost 4 lbs!! We take a walk every day with her in the stroller! We walk the hills here too!!! I am back on the low carb and Weight Watchers regimen!!! Thanks for asking!! I have got to keep going!! Enjoy your day!!!

Good job girls! Congrats on the weight loss Kathy & Tammy your energy level & support in these groups is commendable! That sounds like a great group to be involved with. Is that a local thing or national ? I haven't heard about that. Where I live there are walks & fundraising events....

Hope everyone is enjoying there summer!

(((hugs)))

Tammy, looks fun, wish I could join you!!!

My name is Suzanne and I was dx with stage 2 BC a year ago.  I've been through surgery and my last chemo was January 30.  I don't have an exercise plan and I'm still quite weak compared to last year.  Doing a little walking but the arimidex makes me stiff and it takes a while to "warm up".  Looking for ideas on how to start.  Need some motivation.  Planning on reading what people are doing here.

Hi 2timer...I join Kathy in welcoming you too!  Walking is a great way to start....be sure and get a good pair of walking shoes...your feet will thank you for it!  Until my diagnosis changed, I had been taking femara for 3 years...had quite a bit of joint pain with it too.  I took some advice from a lady on another thread and took it in the evening before bed instead of the morning...it seemed to help a little.  Good luck to you in getting more activity in your life...the hardest part is just getting started! Feels so good once you do!  Don't get discouraged....just get out there as often as you can.

tenaj......enjoy your vacation! I know you were looking forward to getting back to the beach. Hope you enjoy every moment!

Good evening dear ladies, hope all is well & welcome Suzzane!

I'm back from vacation & am not going on the scale for a few days..... The weather was outstanding & I truly enjoyed relaxing, drinking & eating. Today I was off to a good start with my protein drink for breakfast, cream cheese & jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch, chicken burger no roll for dinner with garden tomatoes & fresh mozzarella. And don't forget LOTS of WATER!!!! I'm hungry now, but I'm just going to have some water, play on my IPad  & then get some sleep before another crazy day at work.

Tammy, how the boating with the warriors going? They just reopened a canoe place nearby, I hope to go in a few weeks when it's not so hot.....

Kathy, congrats on the weight loss. Your eating well, exercises & grandparenting is paying off. My inspiration :-)

How are you feeling Jaytee?? Sending warm healing wishes your way.....

Rocket, did you go on your cruise yet?

Janet and Kathy, a I think the boating is helping to loosen up my shoulders which are always tight.  

I got on the scales this morning :-(

New start coming up!

no worries Tammy......you can do this! glad your shoulders are feeling better!

• Popping in to say hello to you dear ladies! Hope all is well with everyone.....enjoy the upcoming holiday weekend 

YES,those crazy pounds!! Can't seem to make them go away! Kathy, you are so positive, motivated & determined, you are an inspiration! Thank you. Enjoy your walks with your granddaughter, that sounds perfect. Sounds like you had a fun time celebrating with your son, you deserve to celebrate!

I've been eating lots of tomatoes & other veggies from  my garden. I've been taking about 3-4 bike rides a week, 4-6 mile trips. Drinking lots of water. I need to ramp up my green tea again & get back to my home exercise with weights & dancing around the house. The warm weather got in my way.......but I'm back at it again.... I won't give up!
