Hello ladies! Hope you are all having a fantastic day! Another lovely sunny day here. Wish it was warmer though - it'll hit about 60F. Supposed to cool down again.
I'm struggling trying to learn French. I'd be so proud of myself if I learned it on my own as I never bothered to learn a language before, at least not with all the proper grammar rules and not good enough for a conversation. I would be so pleased to go to France next year and be able to deal with trains, restaurants, and hotels totally in French!

HI ladies! We've got lovely sunshine and it might even get all the way to 60F!
Workout: Doing the lower body part of my at-home workout.
Starting a round of super-cleaning the house a room at a time...all that stuff that doesn't get done during regular cleaning. Today is kitchen - the most work. Climbing up on the counters to get the tops of cupboards, washing the windows, cleaning the glass doors on the cupboards, the hood over the cooker, shining up the stainless steel cooker (ugh), cleaning microwave, kettle, toaster, etc etc etc. No one would notice all this but I'll know it's cleaner.

4 weeks from today we begin our journey to Michigan to see my granddaughters, my niece's wedding, warm/hot weather, a week at a Lake Michigan beach, shopping for cheaper American stuff including new Asics, gym outfits!
Goal is to be 129 lbs before we go. I've changed my weight listing as it's been consistently 132 recently.
Progress as of today: 34.6 lbs lost so far, only 2.4 lbs to go!
Your workouts are awesome. Keep it up!
Happy Sunday, ladies! Sunshine yet again! England is getting tons of rain and some flooding but we're basking in the sun up here in Scotland.
Rest day but did do all the housework I didn't get around to yesterday. I was busy researching which android to upgrade to.

Happy Saturday, ladies! Sunshine yet again!! 
(that's a big deal here!)
I completely ran out of steam yesterday and was unable to do my home exercises after the gym. So I'm doing them today. I do struggle to do them after my 1.5+ hours at the gym, even after lunch and time to rest and digest it. But there doesn't seem to be any other way to do it. Since small muscle work should not be 2 days in a row, don't know what else I can do. Maybe I can split them up as legs are not small muscles so I could do the squats, lunges, leg lifts with ankle weights on non-gym days, and do planks, dumbbells, pushups, abs and dips with weight on gym day. Hmm...will experiment with this and do a bit of research.

Hiya ladies! The sun is shining! Had a great gym workout! Still have my home exercises to do but feel very tired now. I suppose I could wait and do them tomorrow as I've got no workouts Sat or Sun except housework and maybe a walk.

Home routine: either today or tomorrow depending on whether I get the energy today.

Have a good weekend!
Hiya ladies! Went to spin class this afternoon. The daytime classes are only 30 mins long and since they only began this week it wasn't extremely tough. I've signed up for next Thursday doing a 12:15 - 12:45 and then the 1:00 - 1:30. Got a big compliment from the instructor at the beginning of class. She was writing out a slip of paper to tell us our target heart rates by age and when I told her I was 60 her eyes got huge and she said 'you're 60?!' like she found it hard to believe.

Hello ladies! Back from Inverness! Saw my hubby's first grandchild, an adorable wee boy named Mason. So that's 3 grandkids between us now. 
As for eating, well...... I won't mention what I ate and drank. 
About to leave for the gym and this is my plan for today:

Edit: at the gym today I discovered that the spinning classes have begun. All the daytime classes are only 30 minutes though. I was hoping for at least 45 but those are all around dinner-time and I'm not going all the way into town at that time. Anyway, signed up for a class tomorrow.

Great to see that you are back and doing your exercises and all! I love that curry and basmati rice that your hubby cooks for you, yum!
I'm sure you'll be back in your groove soon--have a good evening!

Happy Saturday, lovely ladies! 
I'm going to have to stop baking!!! I could not keep my hands out of those yummy granola bars yesterday! My husband really liked them as well and kept dipping his hand into the container as well. This is quite a compliment as he doesn't behave that way. So I've put the box back in the laundry room on a high shelf as having it them in plain view in the kitchen was a disaster.
Workout:
Got lots of little re-organizing projects to do around the house, so will be busy with that. Might get on my exercise bike later though. I'd like to power walk but the clouds outside are quite dark.
Menu:
TOTAL: 1308 and no cheating!!
Goals: keep building those muscles! Get down to 129 by May 28th for our trip. This morning I was 132.
Have a great weekend!!
Edit: tomorrow morning going to see hubby's grandson who was born late last night. So we'll be gone till Wednesday night.

Hiya ladies! Made some granola bars yesterday and they are good, but not low cal. Thought they'd be good post workout snacks after the gym. I'll post the recipe in the forum but it's in metric and really not sure how to convert it.

I will gladly swap temperatures with you :) Hahaha Are you doing Rosetta Stone? I heard that is the best program for at home study..BtW I took French for 3 years in H.S. and I wish I would have kept at it.. I am sure in time you will be able to eloquently express yourself! Have a good day Annie!

Bonjour! Comment vas tu aujourd'hui? Il fait très cool ici aux Etats-Unis, aussi. Sauf pour hier - c'était comme si l'été est arrivé soudain! Une excellente journée a vous!

Its gonna be 86 degrees here! Perfect for swimming in the pool, but it isnt open yet!
I learned Spanish in high school from a Chinese woman and a German man. I only took those classes to fulfill the foreign language requirement. French was the only other option and I stayed away because that class was tough!! I regret not taking French though. I mean, Im part French for crying out loud I dont know my ancestor's language! Anyway, good luck on learning it. I think it would be so cool to order food and ask for directions in the native language of the countries you're visiting!
Great exercise plan!

I WISH i knew french!! Sounds like such a pretty languages....I know a ton of languages (Hebrew, Arabic, German, Yiddish, and Spanish...and a tiny bit of hungarian)....Always been good at languages...dont know why lol

I really should have studied French because of our French heritage. But since Katrina, my Spanish has been used a lot. Most of our work force is Honduran (they were here before the storm, but they are now the main trust of the city's work force) and my Spanish was so rusty!! French spelling always intimidated me whereas Spanish was more phonetic. I'm sure you will be fluent enough to eat well and get directions by the time you go!! Have a great day (as I sweat with the A/C on at 92 degrees!!)

Great workout! I only know a smattering of French, and I live in Canada! I'm sort of ashamed of that, since I did have enough french courses to learn how to communicate in French, but at the most all I can do is the introductory sort of stuff (hello, my name is, how are you) and simple words that are easily comparable to English.
moogy on 05/02/2012:
Oh! those French grammer rules, crazy. I did eight years of French and only four of German and still know more German than French!!! RYC yes maybe stay away from the padded bras!!! LOL
