Hello-

I am still working out! I just took an internetz break for a while and have been slowly coming back online. :)

I starting mixing in indoor cycling classes about twice a week. (Anymore than that is dread inducing :p) . My husband bought a spinning bike after Christmas and I finally started using it. I think I need to buy a gel cushion seat cover. I have been spinning for about a month now, but my "butt bones" are always sore for days after wards. :hilarious:

This snow has killed all of my flowers that have started opening. I had snow drops, daffodils and crocuses in bloom. Now they are matted into the ground from the weight of the snow. :( :mad:

Also, as of yesterday, I am down 23 lbs. :)

My jaw dropped when I read you were down 23 pounds!! :jawdrop: Well, you certainly are an inspiration, I must say! I've kept off 12 of the 15 pounds I lost at the end of last year, and I'm trying to get myself psyched again to 8 more, but it's hard to motivate myself sometimes. Anyway, congratulations on your weight loss--that's a lot of self sacrifice to pull that off.

Thank you! :) I do a lot of emotional eating. We've moved 3 times between December 2014 and August 2016. Two of those moves were to London and back. Then my husband was unemployed for about 8 months. So, I was doing a lot eating to self-soothe. (Mostly carb-y things, too.) I took steps to get that under control and lost 8 lbs on my own. In January, I joined Weight Watchers Online and lost the remaining weight. I really like WW. It gives me flexibility and I prefer it to counting calories. I am now in the range for normal weight for my height and age, but I'd like to lose a few more lbs. :)

Thank you. I was going to post a before and after and thought it might be too much! LOL

Are you getting ready for this Nor'easter? My husband is supposed to go to Manhattan Tuesday morning for a conference Tuesday and Wed. I am thinking that's a hard "No," since they are now under a Blizzard Watch up there. :hilarious: He thinks the Acela will still be running. He has to get to the train station, though. LOL

I still use my Instant Pot a few times a week. Last week, I made a really tasty soup and "unstuffed" cabbage rolls.

I think Amtrack may shut down if it's as bad as predicted. I got my shopping done and plan on spending tomorrow cooking most of the day just in case we have power problems. Funny you should mention unstuffed cabbage because that's one of the things on my cooking list but I'm making a turkey roaster full:hilarious: that "meatloaf, some type of Chinese with tofu, mac and "cheese", cole slaw, turkey burgers, a curry for me, and something with part of the pork loin I got. I almost forgot waffles lots of waffles:eek:

I told him him it probably wouldn't be running with a blizzard. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire conference is cancelled, people are supposed be coming in from all over the US.

I made a big batch of soup in my Instant Pot this morning and portioned it out into containers. I have a load of food. I am hoping we don't lose power. I predict some massive shoveling sessions in my future, too. :cautious:

Hello-

I did a 78 minute video I found on You Tube. :depressed:

I made a chicken curry for dinner tonight. I wasn't feeling it. I usually like curry, but I didn't enjoy this. Oh, well. LOL

My husband is driving me crazy with this stupid storm. He keeps talking about it. He decided to leave for NY tomorrow night, instead of Tuesday. :grumpy:

It was this video (I think I posted it before.) She's not everyone's cup of tea. She's kind of full of herself, but I pretty much tune her out when I do her workouts. (Although, I do admit to rolling my eyes at some of her comments.) LOL



He is booked on the train tonight and extended his stay at the hotel for tonight, too. His boss wanted to send him on this conference to "develop" him (which is a good thing!) and it cost a pretty penny to register. So, he is dead set on going. The conference ends Wednesday night. He originally wanted to leave tomorrow morning and come back Wed. night. He was in Boston all of last week and he didn't get home until 9 PM Friday (and he is supposed to go back next week). Boo.

That is how I am trying to approach this. It's an opportunity to burn calories. I might wear my heart rate monitor. :hilarious: The only thing I don't like is we have more area to shovel than I did in Illinois. My drive way is larger and I live on a corner. :(
