Slower Weight loss at 50?
Replies

Good morning;
Ed-I hope your back feels better soon.
Vix-good luck with the follow-up.
Currently 85F with a high of 92F. It's going to be a hot one. I sat out on the deck a little earlier under the awning reading.
Since starting this new weight loss program, I have gained a few pounds. It is discouraging.
Have a good day and stay cool!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 23 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 33 and 15% chance of precipitation. Guess I'll likely be watering the container garden this evening.
Nothing too critical on the home agenda. Work awaits. My back is not much better today, but it's not worse.

good morning
Jo, I hear you on the weight loss issue. I have gained back all the weight I lost for my surgery and am having a terrible time trying to lose any. Persistence is not easy! My follow up was good. He reminded me to walk everyday, so I'm just back from my walk. Of course I have a few questions that I neglected to ask, so I left a phone message and hope someone calls me back.
Ed, hot here too. How's the container garden doing?
Hi Irene.
It's currently 78F, 26C. Sunshine this morning. Scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High near 95F, 35C. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
Our housecleaner is coming today, and I have to get stuff ready for a donation pickup tomorrow.
The yarn I'm using for the baby blanket is really soft. I'm happy, it's going to be a cuddly blanket. 🧸
Wishing all an enjoyable day. Stay cool. ❄️

Good morning;
Currently 83F with a high of 89F.
I am going to the farmer's market this afternoon, they are also having an arts and craft market today.
Ed-I am sorry that your back is still hurting.
Vix-I always remember my questions to the Dr. on the way home. I think I am going to bring a list with me from now on.
I found a new to me author Isis Crawford. She writes a light hearted mystery series about 2 sisters who are caterers.
Hi Irene-I am sure you are enjoying the pool on these hot days.
Have a good day!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 24 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 33 and 15% chance of precipitation. Last night we had a sudden, brief thundershower around dinner time. The rain was welcome.
The tomatoes in the container gardens look happy, the peppers not so much. We may just end up with tomatoes this year. But it's all good.
We'll see what's on the agenda for work.

good morning
Ed, glad your tomatoes are doing well.
Jo, that's when I remembered. 😂 They were good about calling back, and by then I had another question, so they will call me back again in a couple of days. How was the arts and craft market? I'll check out some Isis Crawford.
Irene, great week to have a pool!
Ir's currently 81F,27C. Mixed clouds and sun this morning. Scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon. Gusty winds and small hail are possible. High 87F, 31C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%. I'm just back from my walk before it gets too hot. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
No special plans for today, will probably run by the library later.
Wishing all an easy Friday. Stay cool as a 🥒.0 -
good morning,
Yesterday I had my appt with the foot surgeon yesterday he told me everything I needed for after the surgery So I just got done ordering everything I needed from Amazon. He told me no pool after surgery for a couple of weeks oh well I plan on getting pool time before that.
Jo I feel your pain with the weight loss. Enjoy farmers market.
Ed hope your back is feeling better
Hi Vix0 -
Good afternoon;
Currently 78F with a high of 80F and cloudy. The sun did peak out for a little while.
Vix-The arts and crafts was ok, only about 6 vendors with the usual candles, painted pottery, knitted items.
Irene-When is your foot surgery?
Ed-I only have 1 pepper on my pepper plant and about a handful of cherry tomatoes. I did plant a few onions and they seem to be doing well.
I went out for a walk around the neighborhood. I managed about 1 mile before I got a cramp in my upper left thigh. I decided to cut my walk short. I did manage 1.5 miles by the time I got home. I usually do 2.5 miles.
My daughter and I are going to Providence,RI to the farmers market tomorrow. It is about an hours ride. We have never gone to this one, so I hope it is worth the ride.
Have a great afternoon and evening.

good morning
Irene, Amazon is good for ordering medical equipment. Prices are reasonable, and the equipment was sturdy.
Jo, my neighborhood walk is just about 1 mile. I'm getting back into doing that daily, along with my other exercise. I'm going out first thing in the a.m., or it gets too hot. Farmers market in Providence sounds like fun, and you'll get some nice scenery.
Ed, the weather reminds me of a summer I spent in Guadalajara. It was beautiful and sunny, but every afternoon there would be a brief rainstorm. It is too hot for me right now.
It's currently 77F, 25C. Mostly sunny skies this morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing during the afternoon. High 92F, 33C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Will probably go somewhere later. Starting to get cabin fever!
Wishing all a relaxing weekend. Stay cool. ❄️

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 28 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 32) with an expected partly cloudy high of 32 and 24% chance of precipitation.
I need to get some shopping done, but not much. There is a pool party today but I am not going. My back is still iffy.

Good Sunday morning,
It is raining here so not sure if we will get out this morning for a walk so I will just be getting on the treadmill .Dr already told me no walking for awhile after my surgery but I can use my bike .
Jo my surgery is August 4th.
take care everyone0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 27 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees (feels like 29) with an expected partly cloudy high of 33 and 2% chance of precipitation.
J brought home a large fruit tray and a large veggie tray that had not been needed at the party, so had not been pulled from the refrigerator there until cleanup time. I had some of the melon for part of my breakfast, and will likely eat some of the apple slices for lunch. Of course, after the fact, it occurs to me that I could have made some quick, microwaved cinnamon apples for breakfast. Strawberries are good at any meal.
Neither of us cares for celery, so that part of the veggie tray won't be used. The broccoli and cauliflower will, and I'll eat the carrots and the tomatoes. There are a lot of carrots and tomatoes. I doubt we'll eat all the ranch dressing/dip that came with the veggie tray.
I need to get out to PetSmart for some kitty cat treats, and maybe run through Publix for some salad makings.

good morning.
Irene, your surgery date is getting close. Good luck with that. They usually give some physical therapy exercises after surgery.
Ed, the fruit and veggie trays sound good. Funny, celery is one of my main snack items (even though it does tend to get stuck in my teeth). I hope your back starts feeling better.
Jo, I hope your trip to Providence was fun.
We had a nice day yesterday. My daughter and family stopped over for a little while, and our grandson decided he wanted to stay longer. So we had a fun afternoon with our grandson. it was hot so we stayed in and watched Tom and Jerry cartoons, had some popcorn, looked at photos of Will ( he wanted to do that! ), and played some of his imaginative games.
It's currently 76F, 24C and drizzly. I went for a walk in the drizzle. Scattered thunderstorms this morning, then partly cloudy during the afternoon hours. High 88F, 31C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 60%.
Wishing all a relaxing Sunday.0 -
Good morning;
It is 79F and raining. It is supposed to rain all day. A good day to stay in and read a book.
Irene-good luck with your surgery.
Ed-I love fruit and veggies and like Vix, my go to veggie snack is celery.
Vix-Providence was fun, there were a lot of venders. I got veggies, some lamb shanks, flowers, peanut butter and lotion.
There were a lot of people there and there is only on street parking, so we circled around a bit before we found a place to park.
If we go again we will get there early.
After the market we went to lunch and had teriyaki salmon, rice and sushi. It was a good day.
Have a relaxing day!

good morning,
we had a nice walk but it is 79 now.
vix it sounds like you had fun yesterday with your grandson.
We had a lot of rain yesterday but today looks good.
Hi Jo and ED0 -
I had my endocrinologist appointment this afternoon. My endocrinologist was very happy with all of my lab results except the thyroid, but as the thyroid was near perfect (right in the middle of "normal" just 4 months or so ago, decided we would check it again today, and then decide whether we need to do anything else at the moment or if it was just a fluke.
We also got the urine sample today that I was supposed to give when I had my initial lab done. It's funny that I normally go past a bathroom and think, I might as well go, and have no difficulty, but have trouble doing that on demand! But today I made sure I had plenty of liquid in me. LOL. It worked, anyway.
As my appointment was at 1:00 I just took the afternoon off and relaxed in the living room watching a movie. It was a pleasant afternoon.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 19 (Celsius) foggy degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 34 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Not a lot that's critical on the home front. Work awaits.

good morning
Irene, I'm walking early too. It was 72F, 22C when I left, but is now 77, 25CF. Grandchildren are such a joy, just fills my heart. I love spending time with them.
Jo, I hope you are enjoying your farmers market goods. The hand-made peanut butter, and lotion seem like rare and healthy purchases. What scent is the lotion?
Ed, glad your endocrinologist appointment went well. Good to get regular check-ups.
The forecast today is mostly sunny skies early then heavy thunderstorms developing this afternoon. Areas of smoke and haze are possible, reducing visibility at times. High 92F, 33C. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
No stained glass today, but I will be going to clay group.
Wishing all a pleasant Tuesday. Stay cool as a ⛄!0 -
Good afternoon;
Ed-I hope your thyroid test results are good.
Vix-The lotion scent I got was lavender. It is a scent that I can tolerate, most scents give me a headache. I have never been able to wear perfume of any kind.
Hi Irene.
Currently 82F and cloudy. Today was laundry day and washing the kitchen floor.
I am sad that Christmas Tree Shops are closing. That was one of my favorite stores. Now the only stores that sell a little of everything are Walmart and Target.
Have a good day! 0 -
Good morning;
I have been busy this morning. I did 30 min. on the elliptical and then did a 3 mile walk. I wanted to get in my exercise before the heat of the day.
Currently 72F with a high of 85F.
Not sure what I am doing for the rest of the day, but I am sure I will find something to do.
Have a great day! 0 -
good morning
Ed,
Wishing you both a wonderful day!
Jo, I'm back from my walk too. It started drizzling on the way back. You always stay busy!
Hi Irene!
I have my semi-annual dentist appt this morning. Am planning to make some cornbread and butternut squash soup. Will see what else the day brings.
It's currently 72F, 22C. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 86F, 30C. Winds light and variable. I can still see the smoke haze in the sky.
Wishing all a happy 🐫 day!

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 23 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 33 and 49% chance of precipitation that could include thundershowers. I'd welcome the rain.
My thyroid levels were back to normal, so whatever made them drop was just a temporary fluke or lab error on the previous bloodwork.
Our beautiful, sweet Buttons is trying to cope with a rather aggressive osteosarcoma on her jaw, and it seems likely she won't be with us a whole lot longer. We can't see the oncologist until August 7, assuming she lives that long, but realistically there is not much that could be done anyway. It's making it difficult for her to eat.
We'll know when it's time.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes. It's actually tomorrow, the 20th, though.

Good Morning,
Ed I am sorry Buttons is sick sending prayers its hard when our fur babies are sick.
We woke up to rain this morning it did stop so we got a little walk in only 1 mile .
All of my stuff came in yesterday so I got my boot ( its huge it goes all the way to my knee) I can see why the Dr says no walking. I also got my cast protector and its called even up shoe lift for my other foot this way it should be easier to walk.
Hi Jo and Vix0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 23 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 33 and 33% chance of precipitation that could include a thunderstorm.
We made some significant progress on one of our apps yesterday. Today I can do more extensive testing of it.
J and I may be celebrating our anniversary by saying goodbye to Buttons this afternoon. She's pretty much stopped eating. Not because she's not hungry, but because she is having difficulty swallowing the food because of the growth. We won't watch her suffer and waste away. It's the kindest thing. If not today, tomorrow at the latest.

good morning.
Oops, guess I got ahead of myself. Happy Anniversary today, Ed!
So sorry to hear about Buttons. It's good she is in such a loving home. I know you'll do what's best for her. Hugs.
Irene, glad you got your equipment.
Hi Jo.
Went for my walk around 6:30 this morning. It's currently 73F, 23C. Clouds and some sun this morning with more clouds for this afternoon. High 89F, 32C. Winds light and variable.
Busy day today. I want to touch up my hair color, and we have an appt for some estate planning.
We're going out to dinner with our son and daughter-in-law this evening. Looking forward to that.
Wishing all a good day. Special thought are with you, Ed.

Happy Anniversary ED and J
Ed I am so sorry Buttons isn't doing any better.
Hi Vix and Jo0 -
Good afternoon;
Ed -Happy Anniversary. I am so sorry to hear about Buttons. I know this is a hard decision. Hugs.
Irene-It sounds like you are all ready for your surgery.
Vix-I was out walking at 6:30. I pushed myself to walk 4 miles today. I hope I am not too sore tomorrow. Have fun at dinner.
Currently 83F. I ran a few errands this morning.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
We helped Buttons cross over the rainbow bridge shortly after noon, then went for an anniversary lunch (and celebration of her life) at one of our favorite restaurants, a nice Thai place where we are friends with the owner.
She did not know it was our anniversary, and did not know we had let Buttons go home to heaven, but she hadn't seen us in a while and comped two appetizers, and cake for dessert! It was a wonderful anniversary lunch and J has plenty left for supper. I can cobble something together for my supper later.
I am taking the afternoon off from work.
