crea0029/etknowles's group - CLOSED for now (Page 6)

I tried to make them the squares smaller and then delete what I had done and nothing seemed to work... so I am left with a quote with nothing on it... ignore the above...

Since dropping some weight is important to many in the group, I will share the process of getting from 185 to 148 and staying there.. I started in the spring of '05.  It is a lifestyle, not a diet.  Diets are deprivation and that defies our personalities, lifestyles can last a very long time... like forever...   More to come, EK

I guess the best way to describe what I do badly is that I'm a lazy cook.  I go for the simplest things to fix for dinner, which of course ends up being a lot of packaged and/or frozen foods.  I'm sure the nutritional value is seriously lacking, but it is easy and saves a lot of time!  I typically don't get home from work/working out until 7 or so, and only have a couple of hours before I need to get to bed.  I don't want to spend a lot of that precious time cooking, so I head for the freezer.

On the good side, I usually bring my breakfast and lunch with me to work, so I'm not tempted to go out and splurge.  We do have some crazy people in the office, though, that feel it is their responsibility to feed us -- they bring in the worst stuff! 

Okay... I am going to have to forward the size issues of the boxes on to higher sources.  I do not know how to do it myself.  As for copying them.  You need to highlight the whole thing from very top to very bottom, actually probably the space before and after them and then go into your goals and paste it.  Let me know about more questions.

Hello gang!! Was able to add 'the box' to my profile- thanks for organizing that- sure makes it simpler!

Lousy trng day,  as as a Chrsitmas gift ... received a cold from my daughter ( ha ha..)- anyway-  started on some antibiotics- should be good in a couple days. The time off should give me an oppurtunity to formulate some goals.  

Hope everyone i doing well!!

(ps- weather has warmed up to +4 deg C ( or about 37 deg F)- snow has melted away---- (for now!)

Sorry to hear about the cold.  At Thanksgiving, by sister-in-law brought the flu to dinner... we all were down for the count the next coupld of days with a killer bug... families were meant to share things but not sickness.  Somehow it just goes with the program...

Hope you get better, Emerson

This is when you need a good 20 year old... get one of your kids to help.  I am sure they will get it right just fine.  Being over 50 in this computer age can be a challenge, I am with you on that one...

Any early risers in this group?  I get up early nearly every morning, but this morning was tough.  I guess maybe because I didn't have to get up early for a few days last week.  What a luxury, being able to sleep in!

Anyway, the reason I ask is that I was wondering what everyone's training schedule is like.  I find that if I don't get out in the morning, quite often my day gets gobbled up by other obligations and I never get around to working out.  I'm going to have to conquer that problem in order to follow this training plan though.

I get up at 5 every morning, and I used to be out running by 5:30 or so.  But a couple of months ago we had a bear (!) in the neighborhood, so now I wait until the sun comes up before venturing out.  Fortunately I can flex my hours at work, and now I show up by 8.

It's hard to find daylight to bike -- I guess I'm going to have to drag out the trainer.

I am also on face book -- Emerson T Knowles. 

Amy, I looked for you and could not find you???  Please find me and we can connect that way... back later... Emerson

Me as well- Helen Robertson

Glad to see you both sent me friend requests... Pam is on too and I am sure she will jump in soon...  Karen noted from my photo from today's ride (on my training log) that the weather here is pretty nice... I will say that anyone is welcome to come on down to Tucson....    The winter here is passible....

We've been known to have a good party....

I think that Kathryn (katod) may be in Michigan and off line for a few days...

As to weight loss, I have a lifestyle program that has worked very well for me...  I will start a write up after work tomorrow or on Thursday... year end is pretty crammed for us...  Work has been very stressful....
