To do good you have to do something.

We can read all the books we care to. We can draw all the knowledge we care to take in from reading. We can read all about losing weight. You may already have a bookshelf or more with all the latest findings on fats, exercise, diet, protein, water, what to eat and what not to eat, how much or how little to eat or workout. You have a shelf of tape and a new area for all the new DVD’s just telling you and showing you how to move and what to do, but are they still just on the shelf collecting dust?

Spring into action. We can write and journal all day long, but unless we are using the information to change, it’s useless. It’s just words on a page.

What are you doing? Are you doing anything? Are you changing or are you just going through the movements in your mind? Are you watching the TV and enjoying the exercise show or are you getting up and joining in? Too many of us keep all the knowledge in our heads and never take it out and use it. Are you doing this?

What good is eating Nutrisystem foods all day long and in the middle of the day or end of the day, your eating chocolate bars, a big bag of greasy chips or fries, an extra pizza, the cheese burger, the donuts, the bag of popcorn and nuts… whatever it is that your indulging in. We have read the books, charted what we are eating, going through the motions, but are we using what we have read and learned like we should?

To do good we have to do something. Are you using what you learned? Are you doing or are you just collecting head knowledge?

Nutrisystem works. Use your knowledge. Do good. Do something.

Love to you, Marie

Ha ha! OK then. I had such a wonderful meal and drink and dessert at the Red Lobster for my birthday. All my dreams of it came true. I still feel full this morning. My DH asked the waitress if she had a crane to lift him out of his seat. Yes we all ate large, that's for sure.

So today it's back to business. I still feel full! I guess I really ate well. Ha ha! It's a new day and it's time to start watching those pounds slip off to the ground.

Have a great day and don't forget to drink your water. I got home about 7:30pm last night and boy was I thirsty. I drank four glasses of water before bed!

See you on the blogs.

Marie

Back to a picture I had taken at the end of my NS journey in 2008. Something to look forward to again. It's me Marie. Yes Letsmove. Same girl, different picture then the Journey to Emerald City. Yes it's me! And yes it's my birthday today.

Yes Sherri asked me last night if I feel old. I told her sometimes, but not today I didn't. I love birthday's and yes I'm eating cake tonight. I don't know where I will get this cake yet, but I will eat cake even if I have to make a chocolate cake (yes nice and hot) with ice cream on top. Yeah sounds great doesn't it. Ha ha! Love chocolate!

Have a fun St. Patty's Day friends and happy birthday to all of you that share my birthday with me. Green panties, green shirt, green and orange sweater, and of course my green pin. All set to meet the world.

Love to all,

Marie

If you would like to be on our final Journey to Emerald City Weigh In Chart please report today. This will be your last chance to post for it. Most of you had great success. Congratulations to everyone.

On to a new day. Make it a great one.

Love Marie

Good morning my friends. Today is a special day. It is our last weigh in for this challenge but not the end of the journey for many of us. It has been a pleasure to lead you and guide you along the Yellow Brick Road and meet all the many happy new friends along the way. Today we made it to Emerald City and see all its glory and glitter and shine. The beautiful greens, gold, reds, and blues among the most riches of colors. Rich up in the sky and pull down your favorite color of shining star. You have earned it. Now it’s your turn to find your pot of gold.

Time to report one more time. See you all at the scales.

Love Lucky Charms,

Marie

Man I almost didn't get out of the bed in time to realize we had a time change over night. Whoops! Well me made it to church with two minutes to spare. Ha ha! Lord helped us for sure on that one.

Last weigh in tomorrow morning. I will see you all there. I sure have enjoyed the journey everyday will you. I will put our final chart up Monday night or Tuesday.

Off to Wallyworld.

Later my little leprechauns.

Love Marie

It was a great show last night. Randy Travis was just like I remembered. He can still sing and boy it was nonstop. Impressive to hear and see. Sherri and Dean had a good time. It was nice that it was only 30 minutes down the road from the house too. Yes we ate out at Fatz too. Salad, two of those little round rolls (two bites each, if you have never been there before), and half a rack of ribs. LOL They were very good to me:) and a diet Pepsi.

Well this is the last weekend of our challenge. I hope you have enjoyed it and found your way to Emerald City at the end of the rainbow and reached your pot of gold. Me I made it but without my loss, but that's life isn't it. Sometimes we get what we want and sometime we don't. Sometimes we just have to try a little harder and sometimes it just takes longer.

Have a wonderful day today my friends,

Love Marie

We have a rainy day here. At least it's 50 and not in the 20's. I hope you have a great Friday. I know we are eating out tonight before we go to see Randy Travis. I am just going to enjoy myself. I already messed up my loss and will have to start over. My birthday is coming up next week and I also know I will eat whatever I like on that day too, so I'm not going to kill myself only to throw it all away. I will just try to eat within some limits and get mostly good for you food with some yumminess along the way. Drinking all my water and on nice days getting back outside.

Have a wonderful day.

Love to all, Marie

Good morning friends. Just four more days until weigh in! Are you ready? Do you want me to bring it on? LOL

How about that rainbow? Look we can walk on it! What is your favorite color?

I’m going to walk on the red today. It’s hot and will make me stay on my toes.

No being lazy today. Have you ever seen a rainbow after the rain?

We see them all the time across the valley.

At the end of our rainbow is health, wellness, with a fit mind and body.

Can you handle that? Let’s do it one more day everyone. Here we go.

Love Marie

Good morning my friends. We will have rain showers most of the day today and thru Friday! And so it starts once again. At least we are not in the 20’s or 30’s this week. We are starting out at 45 degrees! How about that? Pretty nice temperature for the start of the day.

On with our story-

Now that we have deposited enough pounds in the rolly polly pot for all to pass, we can continue our journey down the Yellow Brick Road. After our breakfast we will be well on our way. I had some milk and a nice bowl of hot oatmeal this morning. I know that will stick to my ribs and fill me up. What will you have?

I can now see the rainbow! Can you see it, with all it’s beautiful colors? Look just over to your left. There it is! That means we are not far from our Pot Of Gold. Will you reach your goal? Will you have lost any pounds, or should I say deposited as many as you wanted? Will your dreams come true? Is it going to take you a little longer? Where will you be come Monday?

Have a wonderful day,

Love Marie
