No worries, Homer. One day you'll have a house full of 17 kids like IHO and be right back out on the court playing.

Give it 6 weeks before thinking about it. By the 4-month mark, the cloud will lift and all will be well again.

LOL @ 17! Looks like it was Homer's favorite number as a kid.

Hey, anytime it gets overwhelming, just drop off the baby with me for me for a while. You guys can trust me :P

And Homer: When you're at Costco shopping for protein bars and a mega-pack of diapers, feel free to locate the gweilo with "free emergency babysitter" stamped on her forehead. I will be happy to watch Bart for you anytime while you and Marge have a Chicken Bake / protein shake lunch date at the food court.  :)

IHO - tried nalus shaved ice today. The syrup wasn't very good. Oahus is clearly better than all three locations that offer Hawaiian shaved ice.

I think the best syrup in Irvine is Sticky Fingers because I think they make it. I'll have to check out Oahu's one of these days.
 
Coming back to our original topic..

I walk only 2/3 days a week, and weight train once a week. Not enough, but better than nothing. Husband is being very nice, keeping a healthy snack on the table so that I don't come home from work and pick up, and start eating everything I see. Toned down from a pack of cookies and hot chocolate to a healthy snack and coffee (or is it latte?).

It is hard, the last ten pounds.
Also, from X, I went to X+40 in twelve years. Won't go back to X in four months..

SoCal- still walking?
IHO - making small changes?
Homer - six pack?
icey- how are you doing? I don't know your goals, but I know you are eating healthy/ working out..

Others- please feel free to share what you do to maintain/ stay healthy..

Oh, BTW I bought Wasabi almonds, and ate exactly 17 :P

I do yoga, pilates and run.  And I mainly eat whatever I want in moderation.  To aid in the "eat whatever I want" department - I don't stock very much at home so the temptations aren't there.  I also eat 5-6 small meals a day (versus 3 regular sized ones).

That's an awesome combination! Do you go to group classes for yoga/pilates, or studios?
 
CZ, I'm still taking a walk to the mailbox and back five times a week. Kidding. A little further than that but it doesn't seem to be making any difference.

I'm still cooking and baking all the time. If I got a divorce, I figure I'd lose 210 lbs. immediately... followed by a good 40 after that.

I stepped on the scale two days ago. It was broken. I think the battery died. IS IT AN OMEN??

 
Buy the zero-scale or whatever that is called- it never shows the weight- only tells you how much you have gained or lost after you set it up. Easy for us sensitive souls :)

Baking/cooking- yes, I can understand. Sometimes not being a good cook is a blessing, but then being a Costco addict is a curse by itself. Try to control portions, and drink black coffee right after?
 
SoCal also got some bad news from the doctor recently which may affect what I can do from now on.  :( My lower back and hips hurt. My knees hurt, too. Exercise is hard because of my joint pain. My x-rays show I have arthritis / beginning of degenerative disc disease in my spine. What?? Arthritis is for old people.  :'( She says it's due to carrying the ginormous babies (9 lbs. 6 oz and 9 lbs. 9 oz. Head size of the first one broke the hospital record that month.)  ??? Don't look at me like that. I am not a small woman, okay? Anyway, I never thought about the lasting effects. It was a surprise to me.

Anyway, she says to only do swimming or a recumbent bike.

To show how well I listen: I am doing hikes every weekend out in the canyons with a bottle of Ibuprofen. I kind of want to share with everyone how to find the hike locations and docent-led tours... because it's cool, but I kind of don't want to give away my location. Hmm. I'll just say there are some really cool things you can do. for example: a night time hike in December to watch meteor showers. It's good exercise, too.

Oh, really??? I never heard of this before. I'm interested!! That sounds cool.

I go to studios mainly.  For yoga, I go to Yoga Shakti by UCI.  For pilates, I used to go to the one in Woodbury Town Center but my instructor left and reformer started getting pricey so I do mat pilates now instead.  Probably going to check out the newish yoga studio by the $1 theater soon since it's closer to my house.  Any other yoga studio recs out there? 

My kid's Taekwondo center is starting classes for adults- it's a combination of yoga/martial arts- Numi, I think. I haven't read the email in detail, but they have 5 week boot camps. I might attend the next one, beginning 2013.

SoCal, docent led hikes- FB status of the Irvine conservatory comes to mind- they are off to some exotic places. I would love to join you if you don't mind. We can't do family hikes in those areas..

Take it easy- and take care of yourself.
