Another good week. I'm not losing weight but I am rearranging. I went every day this week to the Y  and I am feeling terrific. I find that I am more flexible and some of my aches are gone. I'm trying to watch what I am eating but the pounds are not coming off. Talk to you soon. j

What a wonderful week. I did water aerobics 3 days, and strength training the other 2 days this week at the Y! I also help my Georgie paint the deck for 3 days. I feel great.

Yesterday, we decided to enter the 2013 world and got iphones. With all the newbies this week life is grand. I feel good and hope to do well for the rest of the Lighten Up In 2013. j

What a wonderful week. I made the cut by a very slim margin----but I made it. The best thing that happened to me.

Seeing as I won 3 months at the YMCA, I am taking full advantage of it. I don't know how to swim, ergo, I signed up for swim lessons. My first one was yesterday. I also signed up for water aerobics 3 times a week and that first one was also yesterday. Besides turning into a prune yesterday, I am extremely sore today. I'm also signed up with the Willoughby seniors for water aerobics through August . When the session at the Y ends, I will be at the Willoughby Pool (outside) at 8:15 am twice a week. If I don't work off anything, I might freeze it off if the summer is cool.

When I got home I worked in the yard for several hours, pulling weeds and bending and all.

I also signed up for strength training twice a week at the Y. 

We've go lots of yard work to do, so I am off. I love this weather. It brings out the life in me. I think deep down I'm a bear. That's why I store fat and hibernate in winter. I don't ever remember getting this much yard work done so early in the year but I love it. My thighs and waist need all the work outs they can get.

Talk to you soon. I need to make up blogging for missing on vacation. I did not take my computer. I rested and de-emailed myself for a week. Yikes, might not be able to do that again - ever.  j

This has been another great week. Saw a winning game at with the Captains! Got the car cleaned out and ready to get on the road. Hope everyone is doing okay. I will be hiking through the mountains next week. See you soon. jean

This has been a great week. Until yesterday I was able to work in the yard and get an awesome gardening workout. Let's hope the weather turns nice again. Can't wait to get back out there.

I've invested in raised garden bed materials and soil so I can start my own garden. I'm so-o-o-o excited. Can't wait to get it going. I know it's too early but I'm getting all my seeds and ideas together. See you soon. j

Hi,

This was a great week! I was weighed on Tuesday and I was happy with the results! Everything is down and my spirits were raised.

Now that the warmer weather is here, I will get outside more and move. I've got flowers to plant along with a raised garden for veges. I hope to improve the herb area, too.

We put out a few new bird feeders this past week and have enjoyed watching the various types of birds having a feast. Until next week. Spring is a wonderful time of the year. j

Hi,

Hope everyone had a happy Easter. I know I ate too much. I was going to be weighted tomorrow but I've got some workin' to do before I step on that recorded weigh in scale.

I  was doing really well until yesterday. Talk to all of you soon. j
