QOD:How do you get rid of pent up energy or exercise during the cold long winter months?I have no home equipment so I utilize the local high school weight room and halls to walk.I really want to start running but I think I might need some new shoes and undies first,sorry lots of info,lol.I did come across an ancient treadmill.Non electric old sysytem you walk or run and the mat turns at your pace I was to big to use it comfortabley when I first came across it but I think this winter I shall use it.Enjoy your Saturday.This Michigan weather is something else.I think I need jeans and a sweatshirt today only 64 the high here.

Good morning everyone and Danielle,
Drinking my black decaf coffee. Just put together a macaroni salad for a potluck later today. Can't believe, either, that it is only 55 degrees outside and won't be any warmer than 70 today..
QOTD-I guess with a day like today that you would start thinking of winter exercise. I still walk outside with the dogs, just bundle up more. I also have a gym membership which is a god-send on the days that weather is really bad.
I love snowshoeing in the winter. It is SO easy to do and is such good exercise.. There is nothing like getting out in the woods with the quiet beauty of the white. Danielle, you should give it a try. From who your Dr. is, it seems you live in one of the major snow regions (lakeshore) and you should have lots of good snow for snowshoeing. If you can walk, you can snowshoe. Just writing about it makes me excited about going out again, but not just quite yet...
Good luck to the Crim walkers. Thanks, Patti, about the info about Crim...

Yes I live in Manistee County about 17 miles east of Manistee actually so we get lots of snow.15 feet total last year.The most since I have moved here.I am not looking forward to winter at all I have no more insulation.I get cold very easily now but I may have to look into some snow shoes thanks for the suggestion.I really hate driving to work in the early morning hours during storms.I have no choice though being that I work in healthcare.Thanks for the invite also.I don't request friends to often I really just get on these forums and browse.This is the only one I actually write on frequently.More of a browser.Off to run more errands.Hey I wanna share this.This morning on my bike ride it was misting a bit.When I approached our little lake I saw a rainbow.One of God's great miracles.It was beautiful!
Good morning!
My usual decaf with protein, and having some sausage gravy over wheat toast....
QOTD: Prior to last year I didn't exercise - at all. My New Years resolution was to start exercising, and since I had an elliptical and a treadmill in the house, that made it much easier, but for the past 6 weeks I have gotten out of the habit.... I will be traveling a lot for work this fall, and have to get the discipline to use the hotels exercise equipment.
I've never snowshoed... I'll have to think about trying it. I may even think about taking up cross country skiing again, will be easier since I lost weight and if I get conditioned again it will be a lot of fun.

Hi; everyone
It is a *****illy out we have not had much of a hot summer. Dose that mean winter will be rough.
Well trying out a new protein drink ProNos from GNC the guy gave me a deal. 45 dollar tub for 20 bucks. He is working with me cause I told him I was trying out different proteins so I can be use to it by the time I get my surgery. So Mocha chino it is. The tub should last a long time cause I only do 6oz drinks instead of 12oz.
QOTD: I got a gym membership and if all else fails, we have The Westland mall walkers. it is a club that is for seniors . The mall opens up before the stores so that they can walk around the parameter out of the weather. It is available all year. so they don't get over heated in the summer.
Did any one hit the Megga Millions last night?
I did I said that I just wanted a little piece of it. and I got exactly that. A whole $2.00
WooWhoo!

Currently having a brunch of 1/3 cup of egg substitue with 1 oz of provalone. Fairly tasty. Found out that egg yolks and me simply do not agree post surgery.
In the winter, I have found that I dearly enjoy snowshoeing. Really! A solid pair of snowshoes are decently priced, and it is a damn good work out. I trek all over and through woods and near rivers. So beautiful to be out and about in the mid of winter. Being outside makes life more tolerable during Michigan winters. I used to cross country ski, and, who knows? Maybe after my weight loss I will be able to do so again!

Happy Saturday everyone, I can't remember my breakfast, but I had fish and oven fries for lunch. Also, I got to watch my middle child ride his bike without training wheels for the first time today, my oldest(they are 16 months apart) did it Wednesday. I hear her crying now she must have fallen. Anyway, she will be ok, just scraped up the knee.
QOTD- I have empty easter eggs that I keep in a basket. Inside each egg are different exercises including seasonal ones like have a snowball fight, and others like go for a 30 min walk or do such and such streatch. The kids love it and we each open an egg everyday to exersise. I change out the eggs monthly so there will be new suprise exercises so it doesn't get too boring.

What a good idea Kelly. This morning when I got up and came downstairs to fix breakfast I found my stove in the middle of the kitchen. Hubby is packing it to go up north tomorrow. I didn't even get breakfast. Now, for the next week, I'll either have to microwave, toaster oven the food or eat out. Hubby got a head injury while trying to load our gun safe into the trailer, so we spent 2.5 hours at the ER. They did a CT scan, because he's got a huge knot behind his right ear, but luckily there is no fracture or concussion or brain bleed, just a contusion and bruising. He's sitting here with frozen peas on his head. It was worth the money to make sure he's ok.
QOTD: Pent up energy? What's that? I haven't come across it yet. I've got a gym membership down here, but they don't have the same gym up by Traverse. I'll probably just be walking the dogs for my exercise. I'm going to be looking for somewhere to exercise other than just walking. I've been on a stall for a whole week now and it's beginning to really get to me. I thought today I would see something on the scale and I did, up a pound. I just couldn't believe it. Gotta get more water in.
Hubby tried snowshoeing and came home so sore he said he'd never, never, never try it again. You think maybe he was doing something wrong?
It's going to be a beautiful night for sleeping.
