I am an avid knitter who would like to lose weight to become healthier and more fit. Luckily, I like to bike, hike and walk, and am starting to run, so that fitness is already a positive part of my healthy equation.

If you're interested in viewing my knitting projects, my Ravelry ID is CarolyninAlaska.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for the Berres Brothers coffee maker :) It's keeping me going this winter. I have not been here for a couple weeks, just have not been exercising lately and I know that's bad :( I hope you are having a good winter. We have had so much yucky weather, so much ice and temps near zero. I feel winter weary. At least March is coming, the bikes will come out sometime next month. We had 3 flats last year on our tandem bike and plan on getting punctureless tires for it. We got bike trail passes for Christmas and plan on riding the non-free trails this year :)

We had a wonderful day, we went to Cottage Grove for their Groundhog day breakfast after Jimmy's prediction and managed to get into their newspaper. What a great day. The have a cute black potbellied pig checking for his shadow emoticon
His name is Sir Arthur and he predicted and early spring like Jimmy the groundhog in Sun Prairie.

Hope your week is going well, I plan on checking in more often.
We are going on an adventure today, the Harley Museum in Milwaukee. Our 3rd trip to Milwaukee since December. Getting in our indoor adventures while the weather is cold.

It is about the 3rd anniversary since I "met" you here. Wish we can go out and celebrate together :)

Hugs, Laurie emoticon

Thanks Carolyn for the goodie, it's appreciated! Luckily, we didn't get hammered by that 3 ft that hit New England. Too far west, apparently, but our friends who did spent a lot of time participating in snowball fights and sledding! Hope all is well there! Jun

Good Morning Carolyn. As one of your Alaska Spark People friends, thought I might introduce myself. My name is Wanda, I live in Anchorge. Trying to lose some of our "winter insulation". Actually would love to lose 40 pounds but at this point going to be realistic and hope for 1- 2 pounds a week for as long as it takes. Little bites, so I don't choke. Hope you have a great day and wish you lots of success on your goals.
