Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Eileen, I will take a turtle over a gain anyday. Sounds like you know what did it and can plan better next time. Good for you.

I did ride the bike very briefly last Saturday, and I will do that again today. I need to sit down and organize my morning to see if I can use it for my commute - that would be the easiest way to get the exercise in, is to make it part of the routine, part of what I need to do every day anyway. Now, it's nearly 11 and due to errands, weigh-in and such, I haven't even had BREAKFAST yet. Gotta go fix that.... Have a great weekend, everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Yes, I think we will GFG ( Forman Grill) some chix breasts and finish off the bagged spinach... moved a lot of National Geographics into and out of the storage unit (2 sets of 60 and 70 years worth), so I think I got my Activity Points for today. But, I will bike tomorrow....

Awesome with the WI this week Eileen! Maintain is great when you have had a couple of questionable meals LOL!! That would be cool if you could organize the bike ride for your commute to/from work. Work is 3 miles from my home, so I could do something, but it doesn't mesh with transporting kid to/from school. I was doing the after school part until I changed my hours, so now I take him to school and my mother brings him home. With the rising gasoline prices, when school is out for summer, I do plan to do a commute alternative: walk, bike, bus, etc to ease the costs of driving for 3 months. Already plan that. I have walked it before and it only takes roughly an hour LOL!! Hope it works into your work schedule. in WAIt's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money Finance.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 > Yes, I think we will GFG ( Forman Grill) We'll be buying a new one of these next week. I dropped ours a few months ago, cracking off a part of the back of the top. I glued it back on to cover those exposed wires, and it was working fine until about 3 weeks ago. Sometimes now when I open the lid the grill turns itself off, back to the rows of dashes. Not good! We just got one of those 20% off Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons in yesterday's mail, so when hubby geos on vacation next week that store will be one of our first stops. With the latest NYC toll increases it now costs us $8 just to get to the store, so when we hop over that way we make a day of it and hit 2 malls, the only fabric store within an hour's drive (aside from the fabric district on Manhattan, which is 3 subways but still an hour away), and & Noble. > moved a lot of National Geographics into and out of the storage unit (2 sets > of 60 and 70 years worth), What IS it about that magazine that we hate to throw them away? When we moved from NJ to Florida in 1999 I brought a box of them with us, then brought it back when we moved back. I have a whole corner of our small storage space in this apartment filled with them, as well as a whole shelf of a bookcase and a pile on the kitchen table. They're everywhere!

We had a tiny bit of snow over the weekend (hi, ! How about you?) but it was long gone before nightfall. We were supposed to get some snow over the weekend, but it must have missed us. If anything, just a dusting was on the ground. (( knocks on wood )) we haven't gotten any *new* snow to speak of for 3 weeks, tomorrow. Whew! * who couldn't care less if we didn't get one more snowflake the rest of this season LOL!! A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
