Saturday, I think

Hi again. I am alive and kicking and doing quite well with my exercise and diet goals. I tried to go into town today for a yoga class but I missed the boat literally. Instead I walked down the beach a few miles. Other than one scary dog it was fabulous. I doubt I have lost weight but I don't think I have gained either. Hope all of you are doing well. What would we do without you Heather to keep our blog going. Keep up the good work all.

Fabulous Friday

I can't remember if we've used that title yet.

I met my goals today. Heather and I are turning into speed demons. Those half-marathoners at Mesa Falls better watch out.

Good job, Heather, for being the most consistently healthy in July. I'm glad you won the money. You definitely deserve it. BUT, this is the last time you're getting money from me :)!

Sunrise over the ocean, nothing like it

Hey. Internet is working for the moment so I am happy to report that things are going well. It is so easy not to eat junk for when you are miles away from any grocery store whatsoever. Walking is great fun on a beautiful beach also. Things are going well for diet and exercise as long as I stay away from the stores. Hope you are enjoying lots of sunshine.

Hola my friends!! I met my goals for eating today and plan to go running here in about an hour, so I will have met my goals completely. Loving life and loving being fitter then I have been in a long time!

Can't believe it is Tuesday

Two days in and I am doing OK. Still too much junk food around (it would be nice if all people were on the same diet). Doing well with exercise. Hope things are going well for the rest of you. Kim and Heather you are doing awesome.

Magic Monday

Wow, here we are--the last week of July!

I met my eating and exercise goals today. It feels good! I hope you all finish the month strong.

Sunny Sunday

I am off on vacation for 2 and a half weeks. Wish me luck. The good thing about where we stay is that all food is 1/2 hour away by boat and the boat only goes in a few times a day so if I watch what I buy there should be no junk food to tempt me. I can't get in the car and go to Reed's Dairy. It would seem that there is time to exercise also but we will see. Walking on a beautiful beach sounds like a good way to spend lots of time. Keep me posted about how you are doing and I will do the same.

Noisy but fun Saturday

This week has been such fun with all the planes. It has created many a party at my house with much junk food. My will power has been weak but my exercising has been good. If I can just get the two to work together.
Glad you are feeling better Heather. Way to go with the work outs. Glad you are back Kim. Let's all keep going.

Friday

Hope you are feeling better Heather. I too had a rough day. Too much company to feed. Too much junk in the house. It will be nice to have you back Kim.

Thursday

Hey, I have been gone for a few days and did not have a computer nearby. Great to read that you Heather have been running like a crazy person and feeling so great. Good to hear from you Annette, way to go with the nutrition side. I have been struggling since I keep leaving and am off schedule in a big way. That isn't going to change soon so I guess I better figure it out. Good luck to the rest of you.

Wednesday 5 mile day

I am very happy to report that I have had a great goal met day! I just got home from running 5 miles straight without stopping. I can not remember the last time I ran that many miles without walking part of it. Hope the rest of you are also having a great goal met day!

Tuesday the 20th

We only have 10 more days to go on this month's HLC~ I am excited to report that I have met everything 100% thus far and feel great. Today I went to the bank to make a deposit and the teller that always helps me told me how great I looked and wanted to know if I was doing that HCG diet. It's so fun to have people notice all the hard work and to hear compliments. It was nice to be able to tell her that No, it's not the HCG diet, it's good ol fashion hard work! I met my goals today.

New week

Such good comments yesterday Heather and Annette. So good to have you with us Annette. This has been such fun for me and so much help, hope it works that way for you too although you look awesome. Heather keep up the good work. You are amazing as is Kim who is doing great while on vacation. I woke up way early today, 4:20 probably because of all the sugar I ate yesterday. New week, new day, new me. Good luck.

Windy sunday

Not catchy I know. I felt so good this morning after having done great with diet and exercise for a few days but had to make brownies for an event and have been snitching the whole time. Yuck. It does not feel good to have that much sugar. Why do I do this? Can you guys tell me since I know you have done it also(maybe not lately). Oh well I have dumped out the left over frosting and put all the dishes in the sink, before I licked them clean so upward and onward. I will get a walk in later. Hope you weekends are going well. Wish more of the HLC would blog. I miss them.

Super Saturday

I wanted to play along too~ :) I met my goals today and feel great. Today was really easy for me with eating, so I was happy about that. Have a super dupper night friends!

Funky Friday

So far so good.

Thrilling Thursday

I was hoping I would be first today so I could use that exciting title!

Greetings from Menden, Nevada (just south of Reno). We've had a good trip, and I'm happy to say I've met my eating goals today. There have been some challenges, but I did okay. I still haven't exercised yet. I had planned to take a walk when we got to the hotel, but it's 95! I definitely plan to do something before I go to bed. I'll report tomorrow. I hope you're all doing well!

Wonderful Wednesday

I don't know about you guys but I was thrilled not to have wind today. I met my goals today and so excited to have Annette join us. Sounds like you have some great goals. We have a good time. Hope all is well for the rest of you and you are accomplishing all you set out to do.

Happy Tuesday

I met my goals today. (yahoo) I think Elise and Annetta (probably spelled wrong, sorry) are going to be joining us. Welcome!

Here we go!

I think this might work out better--taking one month at a time. Today let's share our goals for the rest of the month. Also, when you get a chance, donate $5 to the HLC envelope for the month. We talked about giving the winner (which is hopefully all of us!) the money at the end of the month. Do you think we should have some other fund going for our next adventure? Speaking of next adventure--I was thinking Park City in October. Does that sound good to everyone?

Sunday the 11

I know that technically we are not doing HLC for today~ but I am still going to report. I met my goals today. Hope to hear great reports from everyone tomorrow.

Saturday

I just wanted to say thanks again Cherie for having us to your cabin, and for your husband taking the time to take us rafting. I have a great time and loved talking/laughting and spending time with you all!!
I met my goals today.

Thursday

How is everyone doing? Can't believe I am the first post today. I am reporting that a picnic at Heise did me in already. Too many yummy desserts. Looking forward to hanging out with all of you so I can get motivated again. See you tomorrow.

Wednesday

Welcome back Renee, I hope we get to hear from you on the blog every day. We have missed you. Congratulation to all of you that are doing awesome (everyone, it sounds like). You are an inspiration to me as well as just plain fun to be around. I am looking forward to going to Jackson and hiking etc this weekend with you guys.

Good days for exercise not so good for healthy eating. Treats at Bear Lake were plentiful and sweet. As for the report for my goals, I have met exercise goals 28/30. Nutrition goals 20/30 (not so good). Weight loss 0. I have not lost any weight but was trying to maintain. I think the next 30 days I will shoot to lose 5 more pounds. I need to watch my carbs closer and I feel better when I am being stricter about junk food.

I'M BAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKK!!!

Hey there ladies....have you missed me? :) My life has been crazy busy lately but I am determined to stay focused on my goals of losing weight and becoming a healthier person! I am still going to personal training and exercise classes in the mornings! I feel like I do a ton of running around just in my daily activities of taking care of my kids, etc...Things are going well. I am down about 7 pounds since starting training. I am hoping for the best...it has been so hard but I am determined to make it through! I am proud of the things I have been accomplishing so far and look forward to what is yet to come! See you all later! Good luck!

Monday Monday...

Oh the good ol Mama's and Papa's! :) I have had a grand day today. I took the kids up to the Heise area and we hiked around. In addition I got on the scale this morning and lost 3 lbs. Yea for me!! I am excited I have not weighted what I weight now for a good 6 years. I met my goals for today.

Happy 4th

Hey all,

Hope you had lots of fun yesterday. We had a good day. I met my goals except for the cake that called my name at a party last night. Yummy. Looking forward to this weekend, should be a fun time in Jackson, hiking etc. I will be gone for the next three days with no internet so blog on and good luck with your goals. I will have to wear a swimsuit so I may be regretting the cake.

Happy 3rd of July

I hope everyone has had a fantastic day~ I know that I have. I met my goals today and am excited about it, since I was surrounded all day by very sugary food. I stuck to my goals and feel good. HUGE congrats to Cherie and Kim for doing so awesome at the 5K this morning!

Hello again

Hey all. Thanks Kim and Heather for keeping up the posts. Hope both of you are feeling better, Kim from being sore and Heather from being sick. Both put a damper on exercise. I was in Boise for a couple days and was too busy playing with the grandkids to blog. I did meet my exercise and nutrition goals though. I feel good this morning even though I have been up since 3:15. Can't seem to sleep much these days.

I am in for the fire cracker, Kim, I will get my money to you this morning. Thanks for the encouragement. We will be running/walking instead of eating at the ward breakfast.

Miss you Renae and Elise. We need to plan our weekend get away soon so a meeting for the 30 day mark would be good. Maybe Ilene and Julie could come to or at least get their ideas in. What about Sunday afternoon or evening? I will be gone for most of next week, at least until Friday. I will see some of you tomorrow.

July begins!

Happy July everyone! This is a great month for exercise with such beautiful weather. There are definitely a few nutritional challenges (4th of July, etc.), but we HLC members have goals which are stronger than the temptations. I know it will be a successful month for all of us!
