Snowy day here, barely above freezing. Looks like this is the snow that will stay. I'm doing Teacher On Call for the senior math/physics teacher today. I know *nothing* about physics and math : O Luckily it's small classes of good kids : )

I went for a 4.5 mile walk today! I'm still working on cutting back my snacking habits, but I'm slowly getting back into healthy habits!

A grey, windy, cool fall day here. About half the leaves are gone from the trees. It looks like a good day to do some perennials-garden work. Or stay indoors and Spark for hours--who knows???? : )

Jules, you've been *so* faithful in your posting! Thanks, and way to go with getting back on track. I'm psyching myself up for a serious new start beginning Aug 4 and ending 10 weeks later, on my 67th birthday. Figure if I make it finite I will be more likely to stay consistent.

Okay, I am finally getting back on track and exercising again. I walked 3 miles today and I've gotten in my 8 glasses of water. But I am definitely over my calories. I'm slowly readjusting to normal portions again and attempting to snack less.

I stayed in all my food ranges today! And I got in a 3 mile walk and a 1.6 mile jogging interval lap with only one walking interval!!

Yesterday was a rest day, today I mowed the lawn, and tomorrow is a jogging intervals day!
I'm doing pretty well keeping on track with my foods, but I've been edging up to the top end of my ranges since I'm exercising more. Feeling great, though! ~Julianne (JulesJET)

I've been trying to get down to 153 for almost two months now! I would reach 154 then go back up... Well guess what? I skipped right over it! I checked my weight this morning and saw 152.4!
It's not official because my weigh-in is on Sunday, but I'm so very excited! ~Julianne (JulesJET)

I got in an evening walk and jogging intervals(first time in a while). I've tracked all my food and I've kept inside my calorie ranges for today, too!

I'm not sure that the rain will hold off long enough to get a walk in this evening, so I may be doing a DVD workout instead... ~Julianne (JulesJET)

I got in a 3 mile walk and a little over 20 minutes of jogging intervals this afternoon!
I've been enjoying new music on my player as I exercise. I've gotten in all my water today. I have room for a healthy snack tonight. Today was a good day. ~Julianne (JulesJET)

The weather here is psycho. It was in the 70's early last week. Then it snowed May 2 and 3. Yesterday it was in the 60's and today it should be in the 70's.
Overall I've been doing well. Ran a 5k yesterday and gearing up for finals. |

A good day--chilly spring weather, but no snow : ) Bronchitis is pretty much at its peak, I think, so should start winding down soon. Way to go with the mileage, Jules, and by the looks of your new pics, you've got a pretty good handle on your calories overall too!
Keep up the good work.

I hope you feel better soon, Ken!
I've got tons of sunshine so far this week! I walked another 3 miles and did 37 minutes of jogging intervals. I'm now trying to stick with proper portions and healthy snacks instead of eating everything in sight... exercise always makes me hungry... I went over my calories yesterday, trying not to today. ~Julianne (JulesJET)

Mild, windy, overcast. Ice has cleared off our lake--about typical departure time : )
I ran the Vancouver Sun Run last weekend. This weekend I have bronchitis. Glad it held off till now : )

Sounds like you're doing great!
It's FINALLY spring here and I have been spending a ton of time outside, including going for a run. I've been feeling so amazing and energized lately. Not many outward changes, but I can feel myself getting healthier on the inside. |

Went for another 3 mile walk, bringing my total for the week up to 24 miles! Yay! I'm slowly getting back to being active every day and I'm feeling much better for it! ~Julianne (JulesJET)

Great job! I wish I had the time and the weather to go on walks like that. It is finally warming up, though, and I did get in a 3.55 mile run yesterday, so it's all good.

Spring was here, then it left. There is 4 inches of snow on the ground. As a result, everyone is cranky and tired. |

Thanks for the support, AHSOKA70!
I'm so happy spring is finally showing up here. Also that I don't have allergies! No plants blooming or even buds on the trees yet, though, so it wouldn't matter yet if I did. I'm ready for it to be green again! |

Hi, everybody! I'm back to Sparking after almost 2 weeks off. I went for a 4.5 mile walk this morning, and the weather is wonderful! But the pollen has begun to fly! I'm hoping we get some rain later this week to tone it down.

I am so looking forward to the end of this week. Two more exams and then I'm on spring break! |

I'm not sure how much exercise I'll get today, but I'll be walking outside a lot. It's cold, so I'm sure I'll spend a lot of calories trying to stay warm! ![]()

I had a snack this evening, but my stomach wouldn't quit growling, even after I had more water, so I think it was trying to tell me it actually needed something more. ~Julianne (JulesJET)

![]() You had a great day, JulesJet! I ate well, but didn't fit in exercise, and I'm tired now. Tonight was my daughter's science fair, and I was organizing that for the school. No plans for Sunday, but Saturday is a maple fest in our town, so maybe we'll tie in a fun day outdoors with St. Patrick's day celebrations! Edited by: AHSOKA70 at: 3/13/2013 (21:52)

I went for a 3 mile walk and did jogging intervals today! But I think I'm going to have to start my 5k training over again... I took too much time off and now I can't seem to run/jog but for 90 seconds... if that. But I will get there!

My day has started off really well! I ran the 5k I've been training for for 9 weeks! I did pretty well, too, if I do say so myself. And my fiance will be here any minute - I haven't seen him in two weeks. So it will definitely be a good Saturday.

Today is Day 8! For #StreakingintoSpring and No Snacking after Dinner.
I've had a pretty nice day today, too! Except I read to the end of what is currently published of a good series! I want more! And I have to wait for it to be translated!!! Nooo.... But! The author has another series that is also currently being translated, so I'm going to go find it. :) ~Julianne (JulesJET)

No snacking after dinner time - that sounds like a challenge I need to take up. Last night I ate half a bag a gummy bears.... I'm normally pretty good, but on top of everything it just happened. I've had a rough week with energy and motivation. I think what I need to do is start eating dinner later.

Today was a good day. Got up this morning and did all of my workout. Got dinner ready for me and my husband. Work has been busy all day. And now only 2 1/12 hours to go. And then I am home for the night.
