WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2015

Socialwacker

Hello everyone! Busy Saturday for me, but made sure to get the cardio and core in first. Home now and just enjoyed a lovely supper including my favorite spaghetti bolognese and a really nice salad and some great clementines for dessert.

Love catching up on all your posts and am truly inspired with all your successes and goals met!

I'm a big sports fan and am looking forward to the game tomorrow. A few friends and my DS and his girlfriend will be over to watch.

Have a lovely relaxing evening~and here's to a great February for everyone!

Ok ladies, here's to a magnanimous February for everyone. Hope all had a great day.
Socialwacker hope your evening is as relaxing as you need.
Srclark89 Welcome glad you are here. You cN do this.
fatchimom Welcome back and this group of ladies are wonderful for any type of support you need.
bjkidfun I know all about the cravings. I have been getting them since April 13, 2013 when my mom died. I am getting better day by day and some days are worse than others. You got this.
Krieter1 I can agree with you more about the statement you made about your skinny Terri giving the fat Terri a break, my skinny Shanyn is the same to the fat Shanyn. We got this Terri.

Hope all has a great night. Anybody that would like to ad me as a friend, I would be honored. I tried to a few but not sure if I did it right.

Hello everyone!

Sylvia - you are doing such an awesome job on the bowls. Such a great cause.

Barbiecat - how do we get to the new thread for February? I love the hats. We will be rooting for your team to win!

My husband took me out for date night and he took me swimsuit shopping! I finally looked good in a swimsuit! I actually found a couple tops that covered the "girls" up! Usually the suits are so skimpy.

Still date night so gotta go!

Meg - I am still laughing so hard picturing your neighbors watching you dance. Good for you being so self-assured.

Terri - take care of Terri, and I hope you can cut her some slack. As others have said, this is a journey, so take baby steps with us!

Barbie - the hats are amazing. I haven't learned to knit, so I never make such beautiful designs. I am envious.

My kale chips are not very good, but serve the purpose when I wish I could munch on chips. I "shake" them with olive oil and soy sauce in a Ziploc baggie, then put them on a cookie sheet on the middle shelf. I stay in the kitchen, and flip them every few minutes until crispy most of the way through, and hopefully remove them before they burn.

I also took grapes today, and one of the other boys on my son's team was very thankful, as he ate the whole bag. That makes me happy. I found Sugar Snap Peas for $2.99 / pound, so that will be my crunch & munch tomorrow.

DS's pizza for supper is finished, DH is off to work. We are expecting 9 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, so I need to start the day early, since the 2 bowling alleys are nowhere near each other. So, I think I will eat a grapefruit and head off to sleep soon (before 8pm on a Saturday? I am so boring !).

Hugs to Everyone ! ! ! See you all in February.

Hi everyone,
I worked today and will again tomorrow. Want to keep up with your posts, hear your news and meet the new ladies.

Heather - How long is your trip? I'm praying your back improves and you are pain free during your ADVENTURE!

Lesley - Happy anniversary! Sounds like Mildred had a nice day.

Boxlady - good joke!

Red - sounds like you are really "stepping things up".

Joyce - nice to know your friend will have a lovely garden to enjoy.

Brenda and Yanniejannie - ((hugs))

Sharon - enjoyed the frozen cat funeral story. Ha! too strange and funny! I didn't quite follow what you shared about your son and his child. Is he being challenged for custody?

Barbie and Katla - good results on your goals

Rori - so enjoyed your picture

Michele - loved seeing your expressive bug friend. Where do you plan to put him? Somehow he seems like aquas, blues, and purples would suit him.

Meg - good to hear the knee is better. I laughed at your story of naked cat tag. I guess it was quite a show!

Time to clean up the kitchen.

Toni in dreary, chilly, Tennessee

Barbie - love the hats!

Terri in Milwaukee - your posts always interest me and make me a little envious. My "baby" is 38 so I like to hear what you and your young son are doing together. It seems like yesterday my boy was in HS.

Speaking of sons - I got to visit with mine and DDIL and DGS between workout and work. Nice interlude for me.

Now good night - Toni

Ladies- ladies - ladies..... what a day! I think I'm too tired to read all posts, but wanted to wish everyone a great Feb!

Crabby hubs made for a trying day. Our team did 50/50 at the tournament today, and I did ok with food and steps. Of course, it's late and we still haven't eaten. Team choice to order in: pasta. I'm just gonna eat whatever and use portion control and make it up tomorrow. Sometimes I have to pick my battles. I feel a slog coming on tomorrow!

Nite all!

For all the new ones here, follow Barbies link for the new month and as soon as you get there, just so you won't forget, click on the grey star right beside the groups name. That star will turn yellow and will then be found easily in your bookmarks.

I think I mentioned it to you all before but Michelle has a good friend that gave her $50 in gift certificate to one of our local pizza places. It is a tavern but has the most marvelous pizzas. I try to limit my pizza to one about every 2 weeks and longer if I can get by with it. And when I do get one it is an individual cheese with mushroom and onion. So in looking at the menu they had some nice veggies that other places don't offer in their pizzas. So I got mushroom, onion, broccoli and cauliflower and asked them to go light on the cheese. It was quite good. Unfortunately they don't have a listing in MFP food diary. So I just picked some one's individual veggie pizza and it was over 1000 calories. I have no idea if it was that much or not but I always go higher if I don't know. So of course it shows I am over for the day.

I won't see you guys until next month so you guys behave! LOL

Word for 2015.....choice

Joyce, thanks for reminding everyone to bookmark the new thread when you post there----about pizza, I have to stay away from it completely because the sodium, wheat, and seasonings all make me want more. I don't know if there is any such thing as a piece of pizza with reasonable calories. You made good choices or it would have been an even higher calories disaster.

I was almost victim to another fraud. I paid my Target bill with a check in December someone tried to cash the check again in February. It is called double presentment. The bank may or may not catch it. I knew something was wrong because their was no check number in the bank statement. Oh bother. Just glad I caught it.
