Good evening!
It is that time of week again, Chunky Dunkers!! WHOO! HOO!!! 😉
Chunky Dunkers is a group of friends who get together every week to cheer each other on as we all work towards our own personal health and fitness goals. Some of us want to lose weight, some want to become more flexible, some of us would love to be able to run a mile, and some of us would just be happy if we could just reach our long-lost toes!! 😉
The name Chunky Dunker’s came from my sweetie and my two youngest sisters joking that we don’t skinny dip, we chunky dunk, and after all of the laughter finally died down, we realized that that would be the perfect name for our newly created support group!! We have been going for about 8 months now (if not longer), and it is still a group that I get excited about meeting with every week.
I try to post the Chunky Dunker’s post every Wednesday evening between 7 and 7:30, Pacific Coast time, and after I post, we “meet” in the comments section of this post where we can all share hints, tips, ideas, recipes, and encourage each other to keep on keepin’ on!
If you would like to join us, please feel free to do so by speaking up in the comments section, or feel free to be an anonymous reader – that is alright with us too!!
So, without further ado…
Tonight’s topic: Heart Health!
I am not sure if all of you knew this, but this past Friday was National Wear Red Day, for Heart Health. I, of course, wore red that day, and unbeknownst to me, I would become a celebrity. Ok, that might be an overstatement, but I did make the cut on our hospital’s Wear Red video that they put out on the web. I honestly didn’t know anything about it, except that one of the multimedia guys stopped me as I was eating a piece of celery (thank you, I was being very good!!), and asked if he could take my picture. So, being the ham that I am, OF COURSE I SAID YES!!! Well, little did I know that he was actually taking a video. So without any further explanation, here is the Salem Hospital’s video on Wearing Red for National Wear Red Day for Heart Health!! BTW, I am near the end of the video, and don’t you dare blink, because you will seriously miss me!!!
Well, there you have it!! My nano-second of fame is officially up *SIGH!*
I can’t wait to hear how all o f you have been doing! I will “see” you in the comments section!! GO CHUNKY DUNKERS!!!
Here’s to a FABULOUS evening!!! 
“If you want to have a different life, you have to live differently!”
Good evening everyone!! How are you doing this week?
Good…eating a chicken salad
My week is…well good. Lost 5 more pounds last week and holding strong.
David is watching masters of disguise? and I am waiting patiently fro kiddos to come home
Good job, Sis!!! I am up a little this week, and was in a hurry, so had a not so healthy dinner this evening!! 😉
I got to see Morgan yesterday, that was a very nice surprise! Mom was at the hospital waiting for Rudy.
How is your week goin?
I got to see him too…they picked me up and took me to lunch….yummy McD salad.
Good, productive!! I am working on building new day planners for Jason and I – that is always fun for me!! 😉
How is Faye?
Oh, fun!!!
Faye is great! Here puffy cheek was back to normal by morning, and she was back on the floor playing, chasing us as we were walking down the halls!! We think she might have just eaten something she was allergic to???
poor thing…does she have a mushroom allergy too 😉
Yes, you do very well with those….I think it helps you relax!
Yes, it seems to help my noisy brain relax a bit, because I know that I don’t have to remember EVERYTHING!!! Whew!! 😉
How are you and the kiddos doing?
LOL!! We think she might have eaten a peanut that had fallen on the floor. We had caught her licking the heck out of a peanut shell that one of us had dropped!! unshelled peanuts is the new snack food in this house, right now!!
Jason is out at the HOA meeting this evening! He won’t be back until sometime after 8.
is he working for them now
Making do…not always smooth…but getting better…I hope
I still have basketball pics of the kiddos to post!! They are soooo blurry, they are kind of cool that way!! 🙂
Well, I am praying for the whole bunch of you!! You guys all deserve the VERY BEST!!!
fun…it is exciting as a parent seeing them enjoy something I did as a kid…thinking about t-ball for Morgan this summer
No, not working for them. He was nominated to be a member of the board. I think he was voted the secretary of the board.
how long does he get to do that?
T-Ball?? Oh, he will really LOVE that!! They are both soooo athletic!! 😉
thanks…just really a struggle at times. That and teen age years just SUCK.
Yes, I remember those scary teen years!! I don’t know how my parents made it through!!! Me all alone was really a huge pain!!
I don’t know how long for Jason, I think it is a year long assignment. It sounds like he is trying to really make it a learning opportunity!!
good… he needs to be involved in something
I feel like John would rather die than do anything with or arround me or my kids
Yes, I get that from him too, whenever we are around! He just doesn’t realize what he is missing out on.
When he wants something he is sweet, personal, enjoyable and plays with the kids…but anything that doesn’t go xactly how he thinks it should…Terrible Egotistic Enraging Nimrod comes out full force!!
Well, he is still young, and still thinks the whole world revolves around him!! I just hope that he outgrows that phase quickly!!
Can I put a challenge out to everyone on their healthy eating plan?
Yes, I am really proud of Jason, he is doing an amazing job!! Plus now that he is trying to get organized!! He is doing GREAT!! 😉
Sure, what’s that?
Did you have a healthy eating plan challenge?
Spend the next week eating no starches after 2 PM. That means Natural starches and others…breads, noodles, potatoes, rice, beans. Make evening meals a nice salad or vegies with lean meat.
Hmmm….I’m not sure. Sounds like mamma is gonna become a really bitchy girl!! That wouldn’t be so hot!
It takes a little planning, but most of us send our starches right to our but in the evening.
I am not saying yes, and I am not saying no, I will think about it! 😉
That would be our BUTT…HIPS…GUT
but, it might not be such a bad thing to cut back on that, that is for sure!!
Hey, Alice!! I just saw that you hopped on! Take your time, we will still be here!! 😉
I do like how I feel after having a great big salad for dinner!!
think about it…it is one of the changes I have made…not to say I didn’t just have a bite size crunch with a little PB
I just can’t stay away from the chocolate…it is a horrible drug
Just a sec, Nette. I see Alice online, but she is commenting on the wrong post – I am gonna go grab her! 🙂
R U at least getting your water in?
so i am a dork i was on the worng post so i am slow ok long week.
how are you guys doing this week?
Yes, I had a bit of a relapse at the candy jar at work yesterday!! I was super stressed and ended up eating like 4 of the mini candy bars all in one go!! OUCH!! No wonder my weight was up a little this morning!!
Yes, water is something that I have a pretty easy time getting in, thankfully!! 😉 Also getting more exercise will happen when my weight comes down a bit. Right now I am living in Bengay!! Smells great, but I sometimes feel soooo old!! 😉

Alice, did you ever watch Angel?
The TV show.
i have not made anything new since i last talked to you. yes i have watched angel
It’s my new minor obsession!! I have been watching episode every evening for the past couple of weeks!! Sad, really! but fun! 🙂
i loved it when i watched it this last summer
How about books, have you read anything good lately?
my new thing is a Game of thrones
i can;t remeber the name of the book you told me about
Oh, you know, I think those are books that Jason was into – Game of Thrones. I just finished reading the series “The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel”. If you look at my main blog page, on the right hand side, you can see which books I have read. I make sure to list them there. This series, has 5 books: The Alchemyst, The Magician, The Sorceress, The Necromancer, and the Warlock. The 6th book comes out in May, it is the last of that series! 🙂
i like the series game of thrones so i got the book i like it even more it is just all over the place
All over the place good, or all over the place bad?
basicly every chapter is from a difrent persons point of veiw. but it is like 8-9 peoples point of veiw
Oh, yeah! I couldn’t follow that! I would get frustrated and quit!!
lol i know
Hey, sis! I am going to call it a night!! I love you!!! Keep up on trying to eat healthy, and getting your mini daily walks in!!! Every little bit helps!! I love you, Sis!! Give those kiddos a hug from their favorite auntie!! 😉
i love you to talk to you later
I love you too, Chicky!! 😉
