Tracking the Ptarmigan

Follow the tracks of a plump Alaska bird--grandmother, bookworm, fanatic knitter, water aerobics teacher--as she attempts to make shallower dents in the snow.

Other Information:
My favorite quote from Birdie, a Spark Person who lost 140 lbs: Know that for every day that you have stayed within your calorie limits, you have used a little of your fat stores.

The scale is only a guide. If you stayed within your calorie range, you did not deposit any new fat on your body. Tell yourself that the scale can sometimes hold on to extra water, leading you to think that you are not making any progress. Before you go to bed, pat yourself on the back and tell yourself, "I stayed within my calorie range today; therefore I did not gain any fat." Tell yourself that and stay on plan.

Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. I have only tried a few dance moves in the pool, as I have only gone to the fitness center lately. Our local pool is closed for repairs until June......The lazy river is usually crowded and does not encourage me to try dance steps....prefer the open waters of a regular pool for that. emoticon

Thank you for your comment on my blog about releasing the kilos. It's a phrase I picked up from another sparker and I do use it intentionally. I like to think those kilos have gone far far away, rather than they are there somewhere and I'll come across them in just a minute. In fact, I try not to use the term 'regain' about weight. I figure if you lose it, it's gone, and if you put on weight, it's new weight, not the old weight somehow hanging around waiting to climb back aboard. Amazing how helpful this mindset has been!

And I have just seen the cup of tea, will have that after Zumba. emoticon
Loved your comment on my page about burning those molecules, so true!
