Lynne, you can count your workouts if you can convert. On an elliptical machine, time should be equal, so if you walk a mile in 15-16 minutes, then that amount of time on the machine counts as a mile.

BTW, I hate television. I do like most of Dr Oz's thoughts on health, so I try to turn that on if I remember - oh, I like Dancing With the Stars, too. That's the extent of my TV watching. I do think they've gone a little far afield to find this season's "Stars." I think one in particular is riding on a parent's fame. I'd rather have Bon Jovi or Rod Stewart on the CD player than anything on TV.

nancia, because of the fusion of my ankles and some joints in my feet, I don't jump, but I'll do a little jump for joy for you when you reach ONEderland. No videos, please, because it won't be pretty.

BARES, sometimes becoming aware of a problem is the first step. Now that you're aware, what's next. From my questions today, What do you need to change? More exercise? More water? Tracking on My Fitness Pal for a while? I stopped after 8 days. I get bored easily. I used it long enough to find out I'm in the ballpark.

I'm going to be up a while, too, but I will straightening up sewing room #3 before I start FMQ the C Star. Am I stalling? As a new quilter and an even newer FMQer, I'm not confident about it and this one has so many open areas without a print to hide my quilting. Help!

MJ, 16.5 miles in a week. Today was 2 miles closer to GR. .5 exercise and 1.5 walking. Didn't go too far today. Tomorrow's another day and supposed be cooler after a windstorm with possible hail tonight. Michigan truly qualifies for the statement, "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes." 80s today and below 30 predicted for Thursday morning. Bye-bye, flowers. At least the roses are hardy.

I am losing weight and getting healthier.
