I just want to join in the gratitude bandwagon! Too often when I'm the parks I am too distracted to stop and take a moment to consider where some healthier food options can be found!

Oh dear. So sorry to hear. Running is so addicting, but sometimes situations like these are nature's way of helping us to refocus. There are lots of options: cycling, swimming, yoga, Pilates, etc. You've got an open mind: maybe there's a new activity out there that will bring you just as much joy--who knows, you might even make some new friends in a yoga class or by trying out a Master's swim class or something! The good news is that you have the desire and motivation to stay active. You'll be back to your old self in no time! :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar

The first doctor didn't see the fracture and told me it was just a bruise. When it was still swollen and tender 3 weeks out, I went back to my personal physician. She saw the fracture. I can walk but no running. It's buddy taped and I have a shoe to keep it from bending toouch. - vernswifevickie 374.1 #377 6-9-13 1:10PM

Congratulations on your weight loss!! I've lost 40 pounds over the last couple of years. It was 50 but I sort of lost my mojo for a while. It takes willpower to stay in plan in the parks but it can be done. One thing I do is bring a cooler with lots of fresh fruit and munchie veggies, like snap peas and carrots. I use the lockers the are outside the entrance just to the left of lost and found. I pack everything in single serve baggies so I can grab it and stick it in my bag as we go back and forth between the parks. I splurge on fruits that I don't buy every day like blackberries and cherries, so it feels like a treat. You can do it!! - vernswifevickie 374.1 #377 6-2-13 8:14AM

We ate at the Greek Islands Cafe. I had Greek Chicken with lettuce and pita bread. It was a much better choice than the deep dish Chicago style pizza I wanted...lol. We love Seaport Village as well. We can catch the trolley across the street from our condo and take it all the way down there. It's sort of a fun outing....and lots of walking. - vernswifevickie

Since I go only once a year (and normally after being my "DL" diet) there's a part of me that wants to just cut loose and eat everything! I've learned however to try to stay on plan the first of the week, and then eat anything (and usually everything!) on the last day! Congrats on a good day! - msdizmaui

So...the good news is that nothing is broken. It's all bruising and soft tissue injury. He said its similar to the sprain that happens when you twist and roll your ankle...except its my toe. They buddy taped it and gave me a boot to wear. He said no running at all for at least a week and then I can MAYBE start back at about 10% of what I usually do and work up from there. So, no Rock & Roll :( But it should heal with no lasting damage. It sure does hurt...lol - vernswifevickie

Good morning!!! Happy Tuesday! I did we'll with my eating yesterday. Feels good to be back on track. Now to keep it up. Here's to a happy, healthy day for us all!
I had to go to Oahu yesterday for a meeting and I'm proud to report that I still stayed pretty much on track (although didn't do Jenny all day). Ate Jenny breakfast bar on the plane, then was fortunate to go with the person that was supposed to order the lunches so I got to get a salad for myself. The hardest part was the after "drinks and pu-pus" - just had one glass of wine and only a few bites of food....not too bad. - msdizmaui

For some reason, I always have a hard time when the weather changes. It's been so hot here--we've been mid-upper 90s for the last 4-5 days! I overindulged, too. Yuck--back to normal today! - Spoonful_O_Sugar

I love the way the light in the flower bed made this rose look like it was glowing. Just inside the entrance of DCA.

Good questions! I'm unwilling to give up coffee, although during Lent, I only drink coffee from home--nothing sugary or fancy. And my favorite workout...that's a hard one! I've been running for about 15 years, semi regularly, so I guess it's my favorite? I also love Pilates and kettlebells, though. And gymnastics! - Spoonful_O_Sugar

So we have that in common. I love my coffee WITH half and half in it. I make it at home except for on Fridays. I get to go to Starbucks on my way to my WW meeting. Sort of a reward for going. And when we're in the parks we always get coffee at Starbucks in DCA first thing. - vernswifevickie 374.1 #377 5-1-13 11:55AM
Oh, I forgot I was going to tell you a funny kettle bell story. A while back I was doing a kettlebell work out and my cat, Agnes, got too close. I sort of bonked her in the head with the kettle bell....darned near knocked her out. It wasn't funny that day. But now it's been months but every time I put a DVD in the player she runs upstairs to hide. She's not taking any chances...lol. Poor Agnes. She doesn't run away if Vern puts a DVD in :) - vernswifevickie 374.1 #377 5-1-13 6:43PM

Still on target with my points. It's been an adjustment to not eat in the parks. Best rescue is a small side salad when in DCA on saturday from paradise pizza & pasta. One Ghiradeli's chocolate square is 1.6 points so its my small doable treat plus it's free. Down 2 lbs this week👍👍 - Plumiegirl

Happy Tuesday to you. My hubby likes to juice. We have tried a couple of brands and it seems to be worth spending a little more on a good model. Look for one with a variable speed because different foods require different speeds to get the best results. We have a Breville and I think it was around $250. But there are different models and I think this was kind of the mid-range price for this brand. - D55CR

Hi everyone. Happy St Patty's day! We spent yesterday in the Parks with Vern's niece and nephew who are visiting from Texas. It was a fun day. I didn't track or plan....today were going to a family BBQ....new start on Monday?...lol
Happy St. Patty's day! Glad you had a great day yesterday. Sounds like you'll have another fun-filled day today! Grandma and dad are coming over today and bringing me a mocha and oatmeal from mcd's. I better be good the rest of the day. Lol - Fanatic4Disney
