Not much to report this week. I'm sticking with working on my Texercise walking program, milestone 5/12, walking 1.5 miles in 29 minutes. Still working on making that consistently before moving up to the next level. I made it to aerobics once this week.
Nothing of interest to report on the healthy eating front. Tried some different recipes that aren't worth passing along. Yesterday I did improvise a stirfry lunch out of leftover "krab," asparagus, tomatoes, and artichokes and it was very good. I used garlic and olive oil and then added some lemon juice and seasoning salt at the end.

Hi Shapers! I am working on a Adam's cake for you guys. I am mainly using walkers reprsent us. So far I got three most time consuming smileys done. I had to place them 24 times for 24 different frames 3 times. Oh my eyes! Oh my headache! I really want to do this for "Shape Up" group. There are 9 more to go (based on the regular check-ins). Wish me luck!!   |

You're awesome Chapf! Tackling another cake after doing that wonderful one on the main thread! I absolutely love my little curler!
Only lost another .4 lbs this week, so it's definitely going slower than it used to, probably also because I'm eating more, lol! Having company all coming up weekend and then off on a week's holiday, so going to be hard to lose anything much in the coming weeks, but I'm trying to not go overboard. Even if I keep losing little bits I'll be encouraged. Walking is going well though.
See you all next week! |

Chapf, can you put a swimmer on the cake? I'm a swimmer and aquarobics gal (and mowing, weeding, gardening). Otherwise, I'm really struggling this week. Too many carbs, too much TV and not enough exercise. Struggling to get back on track!!!!  |

Chapf, you are so incredible! Not just for the time and creativity but for the thought. Thank you so much!!!!
Goal #1 (exercise)--did great on the exercise bike this week.
Goal #2 (learn more about successful vegetarian diet)--Made a yummy Moroccan stew, which was a nice change since most veggie recipes seem to be Italian or Mexican, and it was my first time cooking with and probably eating lentils. Yay for a new protein source even if nobody else in my family liked this recipe.
Goal #3 (weight loss) --Discovered that the numbers vary a lot from day to day. Yesterday I was discouraged but today I am down 3 lbs. Could be the scale at the gym is off but I may have found a better indicator anyway. My daughter, who has no idea I am dieting, scooted up on the couch and stuck her freezing feet under me. Then she said, "Ow Mom, your bottom is getting bony!" Obviously she exaggerates but I will take what I can get!
Keep on truckin everyone!
