The HLC Comes Alive!

We planned several activities at our meeting tonight. We know not everyone can come to everything, but do what you can! Also, if you think of something fun to do, post it on the blog.

Tues. July 5th bike ride. Meet at the corner of Meadowlark and Bramble at 7 am.

Tues. July 12th bike ride to concert on the river. Meet at Ilene's at 6:30 pm.

Wed. July 20th, bike ride. Meet at Cherie's at 7 am.

Monday Aug 1st Next HLC meeting 5:30, Ilene's.

Thurs. Aug 4th bike ride to Smitty's for breakfast and greenbelt. Meet corner of Meadowlark and Bramble at 7 am.

Wed. Aug 17th bike ride to Charlotte's Web. Meet at the church parking lot at 7 pm.

Friday Aug. 26th. Spend the night in Island Park. Go to the Playmill that night. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is playing. Tickets will be purchased out of the HLC fun fund! Whoever wants to can run at the Mesa Falls event the next day--5K, 10K, half-marathon--something for everyone.

Friday Sep 16 Hike to Union Falls.

Friday October 7 Hike to Table Rock.

We talked about going up to Harriman this winter to cross country ski too. I also think a shopping trip is in order at the end of the year or the beginning of next year to celebrate the fact that we're all going to reach our weight goals.

Everyone has been doing great or will be doing great this month! Keep it up.

I met my goals today--looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow at Weight Watchers. I won't be going to WW again for 5 weeks (although of course I'll stick to it religiously!), so it will be interesting to see what I can do in 5 weeks--hopefully get rid of at least 10 lbs.--a decade I haven't been in for over 20 years.

I wish you all a very successful and healthy July!

Wednesday

Met my goals today--yahoo.

We'll be meeting tomorrow, 5:30, at my house. Bring your calendars so we can plan some fun activities!

Meeting

See you Thursday 5:30 at Kim's I think. I met my goals today. Hanging in there for weigh in of Friday.

HLC

I would love to meet on Thursday instead of next week sometime. Maybe we could all bring our calendars and plan some hikes or a trip to Island Park or whatever. We need to spend $. I always feel like spending $ but we have a lot in the pot. I met my goals today, hope you did too. I don't feel like I am losing weight but we will see on Friday. I am good meeting where ever.

Good day

I met my goals today. Hope all of you did too. So fun to have great weather. Party on.

Good to be back

I missed following the success of the HLC. Great news Heather. Atkins really is the game for you. So happy for your success. I bet the W W ladies were blown away because they don't see #'s like that often. Way to go. Kim you are right the weight will come off. Congratulations to the bone and back ladies team. I had a good week until today and I had a come apart but tomorrow will be better. For June I am 23 for 25 wo I am not going to worry about this bad day. Best of luck. Wish we had more bloggers.

Friday, Friday!

What a beautiful day! I did meet my goals today--gearing up for Bone and Back tomorrow. When I went to WW this morning I had gained a pound. I'm okay with it because I've stuck to the points and exercised lots, so I know the weight will go away one of these days. Heather did great, but I'll leave the exciting news to her!

If anyone is reading this, I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Thursday and still beautiful!

I met my goals. I'm super excited to see what my weight is tomorrow at WW. Life is great! Hope everyone else is continuing to be successful and you all are fairing well.

Darn allergies....

I met my goals today. Hope everyone enjoyed the weather. It felt so good!

Wonderful 1st day of summer

Hope you got out and enjoyed this great day. Congratulations Lisa on 5 pounds gone. Good job of getting your family involved. Cudos (sp?) to Heather and Kim also. I managed a small bike ride today and went to the circus (I forgot how weird the circus is) but tomorrow will do more exercise. I met my goals today without using any extra points. Feels good.

Monday June 20th

No more eating today so I thought I'd post. I met my goals today-yahoo!

It was great to hear from Lisa. Heather, I can hardly wait until Friday to see the results of your Atkins diligence. Cherie, good job also. I'm looking forward to the time--which I know will be soon--that you reach your goal.

Have a great week!

OMW!!

Oh My Word!! You guys have been doing SO great!! I'm proud of al ya'll!

It's SO nice to be back in Idaho. Loved the weather in Cali, but I missed the general population of goodness that exists here in our little part of Idaho. Both Steve and I had major confirmations on our trip that we did the right thing about getting our girls out of California. And Steve also with the job change. Our life has been so enriched by this move.

As far as my diet goes....still flip flopping, more flips than flops :0) It's a lot easier for me to eat healthy in summer as the fruit has been way better!

Have a good week ladies! We're off to Island Park for a while. I think they have wireless there so maybe I'll have time to blog. We'll see :0)

Happy father's day

Fun father's day at our house even though none of the kids were here. I met my goals today had a fabulous walk this morning. I love 11:00 church.

Post b-day

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day. Went to W W and lost 1 pound, went to my grandson's t-ball game, he is 4 and so cute. Then went on a picnic and hike with Dave, followed by a great bike ride and wonderful dinner. Today I ran the 5 k and finished in 33:05. That is my best time for a 5K so I was happy. Got two bags of my favorite chocolates for the b-day and have only eaten one so met my goals today. Can't wait to hear from the rest of you. Hope you did great.

Good day

It's been such a beautiful day today! I hope you've all enjoyed the various activities you're involved in.

Happy Birthday Cherie!

I had a good weigh-in at WW this morning--2.8 lb loss. Cherie had a loss too. Heather, I can hardly wait to see your loss next week!

I met my goals today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Weigh in tomorrow

I met my goals today and plan to be done eating now. Should be a good weigh in I hope. Hope to see some of you tomorrow.

Hike

Fun hike ladies. We did not make it up to Palisaides lake (either one) as the river was so high it was over the trail. We found another spot to hike and had a picnic on the top of a ridge with a wonderful view. Great fun, not too strenuous but a good taste of more to come (I hope). Good job ladies, especially Becky who was on her first hike and also on her birthday. I will meet my goals today.

Finally starting to feel like summer?!?

I met my goals. I pretty much plan to meet my goals everyday until Halloween! :) that's when I will be at my goal weight. Have fun hiking ladies.

MMMM

Did pretty well with goals today. Not as good as some days but still within W W guidelines. June seems to be going well for the HLC. Who is hiking?

A Good Day

I met my goals today for both diet and exercise and got organized on what I will eat the rest of the week. That makes a huge difference for me. Hope you all had a good day. I don't think I will be able to make the hike on Wed. Too much other stuff going on.

I'm Ready to Begin Again

I am returning from the dark side where I have been dwelling the last several weeks and following the light of my HLC friends! Tomorrow is the day I start again on WW. Elise will be at EFY and the weather looks like it will be good, so healty eating and exercise--here I come!

Ready for a hike?

Kim, Heather and I are planning to hike the Palisaides Lake trail on Wednesday. Not sure how far we will go. I think upper is 7 miles (one way) and lower is 4. I could be wrong about that but we will see how it goes. Wednesday June 15th. Meet at my house at 8:00. Bring lots of water and a lunch and we will see how the day goes. We hope to be back by late afternoon and would love to have any of the HLC or anyone else join us.
On another note. I lost 2 pounds at the W W weigh in yesterday. That was over 3 weeks but I'll take what I can get. Can't believe oatmeal is 7 points. Not good. Congratulations Kim on your weight loss and for keeping up with your goals. Good luck Heather with Atkins. I have succeeded on it twice, too bad I did not keep it off but you will. I do love you.

Fabulous Friday

The sun came out today!! 6 points for oatmeal at Jamba Juice, 1 pt for the brown sugar topping, and 6 points for the drink. I was full after all of that though, and just had a snack and then a yummy Mexican-style salad for dinner. I'm done eating for today, so I thought I'd go ahead and report. I met my goals today. I started weight lifting last week, but increased the intensity this week. I'm a little sore, but I feel really good. In fact, I'm kind of surprised when I look in the mirror and still see so much fat there!

I hope the rest of you are doing well.

Again

I am sorry to post first again. If I don't do it early I forget. I had a good day today and am looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow. Is anyone staying to the meeting? I am. Hope all of you are doing great.

Countdown

Two days to W W weigh in. It is motivational to me to know I will have to face the scale on Friday. Had a good day today. Glad you are back on track Heather, way to go Kim.

How's it going?

I am done eating for the day so as long as I stop I met my goals. I am not expecting to lose at the Friday W W weigh-in but I hope to have lost what I gained at the end of May family reunion. I have not weighed for awhile but can tell my clothes are not as loose. Hit it hard in June, all you all.

2 and a half good days

Good to see you at the HLC meeting. Thanks for the new motivation. I am planning to lose 5 pounds in June. Good luck all you wonderful friends.

Sunny Sunday!

Yahoo--what beautiful weather.

Ilene wanted me to tell all of you that she's been trying to post, but somethings not working right with her computer and this blog. She's proud of everyone and says, "keep up the good work !"

I'm posting early in the day, but I'm sure I'll meet my goals today. We're having a dessert, but I've been saving up my points all week, so I can "legally" have a piece.

Our meeting is tomorrow at 5:30 at my house. Hope you can make it!

Saturday

Heather, 7 pounds, I can't believe it. Are you sure their scale was not messed up? Did you weigh at home? So sorry. Camping for a few days would not have made that much difference. Don't let it get to you, just move forward and next week will be better. I stayed away because I knew it would be bad news. Was Becky there at W W? She was there on the last Friday that I went. Thanks for hosting us Kim on Monday. Sounds like Ilene and Lisa will be gone. Anyone heard from Annette for awhile? I am doing OK getting back on track but seem to be hungry all the time. Before I did not use any extra points and the weight came off fast so I need to quit snacking and using those points.

Friday

Met my goals a whopping 2 days in a row and plan to do so today. How did the W W go for you Kim and Heather? I am putting the weigh in off until next Friday so I not get bad news, by then I hope to have good news. Have a good trip Ilene and Lisa?

Home again

I feel like I have been gone forever, glad to be home. I did love the weather in St George, 80's all the time. I am back on track (one day in a row). June is going to be awesome. Way to go Kim and Heather, where are the rest of you?
