ReplyDeleteGreat job...I just started the challenge today but have been exercising since August. Love your blog and thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteThose are some AMAZING numbers - all of them! Walking, ounces, calories... oh my! I hope you feel better very soon.
ReplyDeleteBetty- I'm kind of like that...once I FINALLY set my mind on something, I steam roll my way through it. I think it's called being stubborn. LOL thanks!

lonely- Thanks! Good luck with the challenge! They sure do help me with this journey!
MissA- O what a way with words you have...LOL thanks!
Hi Pam. Hope you;'re feeling much better again now. Well done on the weight loss. That's certainly the best and most sensible way of doing it. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteDiane- I am feeling better, thanks! I am hoping all this watching of the weight stops at some point and I just enjoy my healthier lifestyle without watching every single morsel.
ReplyDeleteWow I am impressed!! Your were able to accomplish all of that when you were sick.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention you have lost 4 pounds!!
I hope you are back to feeling better this week.
Great work! I think you are doing so well, and kudos on the water intake! I need to get better!! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat job this week! It is so hard when we are sick, but I'm glad to se ya hung in there and kicked butt! God luck this week!
ReplyDeleteFG- I am back to feeling better. I actually hope to start running again this week! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaren- The water part becomes easy when it becomes habit so just keep on trying!
Ry- Thanks! Yes, sick doesn't help but we can stop it from hindering! LOL
Wow! You can hold to the plan even when you're sick! I'm one of those "feed a cold, starve a fever" people I think. Colds make me hungry. Breathing not necessary to eating LOL
ReplyDeleteStephanie-LOL So true! I have eaten more I just try to keep the calories under 1500.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to find another empty nester blog... It's a cute place. Our four have also flown the coup - 2 girls, 2 boys - only one married. 2 grandangels. Happy nesting!
ReplyDelete4lbs in two weeks is excellent - you are obviously on the right track!
ReplyDeleteMK- Thanks! I'm always delighted to meet other empty nesters!
ReplyDeleteEnz-thanks! I just hope I stay on the right track!
You are FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI definitely would have given up for being sick.
And you're still losing so much, fair play to you. And doing it in a measured, healthy way with lots of exercise involved.
Did I say you're fantastic? You are!
You did great even though you're sick.....feel better.
ReplyDeletei hope you get better soon! great to see that it didnt affect your weight though, great loss :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Congrats on the loss. You are in the zone and doing great. Have an awesome week...

ReplyDeleteYou rock girl!!!
ReplyDeletePlease get to feelin' better...we can't do with a sick chick ya know!
Have a blessed and beautiful day!!! :o)
I was sick this week too, but got in the exercise anyway. It showed on the scale. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of making the cookbooks of your favorite recipes - and gluten free. I did that a few years ago, using little photograph albums and slipping my recipe cards inside. I wonder if ANY of my kids have used ANY of the recipes!
ReplyDeleteIt is comforting to see your desk looking a lot like my desk, Pam. :-) Hope you get that snow you're wanting.♥
WAY TO GO!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your cookbook idea. I should do that for my two kids!
