Slower Weight loss at 50?

Hi
It was 43 Degrees this morning a change for the colder from yesterdays temperature. It was So-So for comfort walking, I tried out the Electric Hand warmer today. It worked OK, It would have done a better job if I had used mittens so it could nestle down by the fingers rather than the gloves I wore. I walked 8,065 steps today. I ended up turning on the heat as the house is cold this morning, the Living Room is at 60 degrees
Later today We will be going out back and bagging up plant materials from the parts of the garden that have gone by earlier and pulling some more that have reached the end of the line. What is left that is still growing are the Eggplants although what is on them is likely to be all there is. The Beets and Sweet potatoes which are most likely done growing too as the leaves are starting to turn. The Tomatoes seem to be finished too.
I had a decent step count Monday reaching my minimum goal of 10K+ steps for the day
Have a Great Tuesday

Hi,
I was unable to get on the site earlier. They were doing maintenance.
For the past 3 days I barely made 5000 steps. My excuse is that my left heal has been bothering me.
Tomorrow I go back to work. I really enjoyed being on vacation for 14 days and then being home for 7 days. I could get use to it.
Roger-I have 2 very small green tomatoes growing on the plant that the squirrels mostly destroyed at the beginning of the season. It was 35 degrees this morning and it got up into the high 60's by the afternoon.
Hi Vix and Irene.

Hi all
I woke up cold this morning....it was 61 in the house, in the low 40s outside, so I turned the heat on!
Roger...good job on the walking.
Irene, best not to strain, take it slow and build up.
Jo, so glad you got some well deserved time off.
I played with clay today, then went looking for a frame for the picture I'm painting. Since they're expensive, my first stop was a thrift shop...I found a puzzle in a frame, half off, and just the right size. I had looked at my local thrift shop the other day, but they didn't have the size I needed. I'll probably need some minor hardware to get it to fit right, but feel really lucky to have found one.
Hope you're all having a great day.0 -
good morning, well today I am taking the day off from walking my knee is hurting today. I did start out for a walk and turned back it was hurting too much so today I will just take it easy. I have been up since 1am because of the pain I am sure I will be taking a nap today if the pain is still bad in an hour or so I will take a pain pill but for now I am just putting ice on it I must of over did it yesterday. My ns frozen came yesterday so I am good now for a while. I made my husband shepards pie but instead of using beef I used vegetarian beef it is very good of course I made gravy for it since I didn't eat any of it he has enough for at least another meal yeah I won't have to cook.I normally don't have left overs. Jo sorry to hear your foot is hurting , hope you will be ok for work today. Vix glad you found a frame . Roger what have you been up to?0

Good morning!
Jo, hope your heel is feeling better. Hope it's not too awful going back to work.
Irene, hope your knee feels better today with some rest.
Roger, chilling of out there, definitely into Fall.
Body flow class for me this morning. No plans yet for the rest of the day.
Have a great day, everyone.0 -
Hi
It was 49 Degrees this morning a change to the warmer from yesterdays temperature. It was comfortable walking and due to unforseen circumstances I walked 4435 steps today. Yesterday I ended up with 10.5K steps.
I did get my shopping done at the Grocery Store, 4 Bananas, 4 Honey Crisp Apples, 3 Mineola Oranges and 2 D'Anjou Pears and a 10% discount
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi Irene
Thank You for the kind words.
8000 steps is a lot, I would have eased into the walking and slowly built up my step count.IreneMurman wrote: »good morning, well today I am taking the day off from walking my knee is hurting today.

I am sorry to hear that Your foot is hurting You.
I think I would have turned back if it were my knee too. I hope the Ice does the trick.
Nothing wrong with left overs IMO
Good Luck with the Knee

Hi Vix and Irene.
I did see that they were going to do Site maintenance, I did not post it as I did not see it until within the time frame they said they were going to do it. I think I was lucky, I got on during that time frame and posted with no problems.
I hope Your heel feels better soon. Maybe take a day off from walking?
I Suspect You are less than thrilled by the idea of going back to work.
your weather is running colder than here and before I turned the heat on yesterday the Living room was 60 degrees, it was only slightly warmer this morning so i turned the heat on again. I had turned it off again yesterday after the house warmed up and the Sun was out. It did stay comfortable until bedtime too.
There are a few Cherry Tomatoes left, I do not know if they will amount to much now that the weather has turned colder.
Good Luck at work today
Roger0 -
Good evening;
Well, I made it through my first day back at work, luckily it was a slow day. I spent most of it organizing and cleaning.
After work I went and had my hair done.
Irene-I hope taking a day off from walking will ease the pain in your knee. It might be a good idea to ease back into walking.
Vix-Yay for finding a frame. My daughter has been going to thrift stores and picking up frames for some of the photos she has taken.
Roger-I have not had to turn on the heat. I have been sleeping with the window open a few inches. Of course hubby has an extra blanket on.0 -
good morning, well I plan on taking off a couple of days from walking I think I over did it .That and pt so I will go slower but it sure is hard I just want to get up and do things which I can't. Jo glad you had an easier day ,the first day back is always the hardest.Jo my husband is the same way I have the fan on and he is bundled under the covers. I already have the fireplace on it takes the chill out and it just is nice to watch. Roger this year I think I got 2 tomatoes but I did planned them late and the squirrels got most of them so I guess I can say I feed the wild life this summer. One squirrel tried carrying a tomatoes up over my 6 foot fence well it got stuck we had to remove it, but it was funny seeing it there.Maybe next year I will be able to plant more. I have pt at 7 today what is everyone else doing? well take care talk to you later.0
-
Good morning;
Irene-I think taking it easy on the walking is a good idea.
The squirrels ate all my tomatoes this summer. I think if I plant a garden again I will have to use netting to keep the squirrels out.
Today my schedule is 1-9. I don't like working this shift, but everyone has to put in a night.
It is 53 here this morning and we are expecting rain.
Enjoy your day.

Hi
It was in the 50s this morning a change to the warmer from yesterdays temperature. I won't be walking today. long story for another day so I'm siting here drinking my coffee made with a store bought blend of Decaf & Regular coffee. The rest of today's coffee is in a Thermos Bottle From my Brother. Since I had added that to the unused portion of the previous can of coffee I'm going to call it 1/4 Decaf and 3/4 Regular Coffee. For ease of use when I open a can I pour it into the Big can I use to hold it.
Today is not all that bright out and as it approaches 8AM the front porch is only running 53 degrees.
Have a Great Thursday
Roger0 -
Good morning.
It's 51 here and sunny at the moment, going up to 69 today.
Hope you're feeling ok, Roger.
Jo, I wouldn't like an evening shift either.
Irene, Pt is good...always important to give yourself enough time to recover.
Funny, our husbands are the ones who are cold at night. I wear socks when I first go to bed, but pull them off when I get too hot.
I'm off to painting class this morning.
Have a great day, everyone.0 -

Hi Joanne
It sounds as if You had a good day at work for a first day back.
I have been running the fan, actually I run it most of the year as a white noise source in the bedroom to mask outside noises and to have a little air circulation. I do like it warmer in the house than My Brother and that means I may be sort of bundled up in the living room when he is sitting there in a T-Shirt and shorts
I did feel a need to turn on the heat I was feeling the 60 degree indoors temperature when I was using the computer, It is nigh unto impossible to type and use the mouse with gloves on I was able to stay warm doing anything else.Joanne3366 wrote: »Good morning;

Hi Again, Until I read where You said everyone has to put in a night I thought You meant 1 to nine starting in the afternoon, I'm glad You clarified it.
We were lucky for some reason the Tree Rats stayed away from the Tomatoes and the garden in general. That Might be due to the Basil that inter-planted with the other plants.
Tree rats we have all over the place and sometimes when I go in the shed out back I can hear them run out of it on the shelves up near the roof line.
Have nice day

Hi Irene
That sounds like a good idea, taking a couple of days off. I'm doing it too
I wonder why the Tree Rats don't get ours unless as I said to Joanne, maybe they don't like the Basil plants.
Just curious, was it the Squirrel or the Tomato that got stuck? I'm guessing it was the Tomato, OTOH I have seen pictures of Squirrels that got stuck too.
Good Luck
Roger0 -
well at pt I was telling her about the pain. She felt it was due to the weight they put on the back of my leg they are trying to straighten it more and it really hurt today when she did it again, but it was worst today because they put a pillow under my leg so I felt it more had to lay there for 4 minutes so today my ice pack and I are becoming really good pals. Roger it was the tomato that got stuck.0
-
Aw, hope it starts feeling better soon, Irene.
Did you hurt yourself, Roger?
Jo, it's funny....the squirrels at my old house were always hanging about...I don't think I've even seen any in my yard in my new house.
Painting class was fine, but I have more work to do on my painting. I was kind of hoping it was done. haha.

good morning, went for a little walk today only 5000 but I think that is what I need to do for a while they say it takes like a year to mend sure hope that is not true for me. I just have to learn to go slow.Thanks vix Roger did you hurt yourself? Jo how is your foot hope it is getting better. My plans for today is a trip to shoprite first time going myself , George has been going with me ,but it is time for me to get back to doing more. I am actually taking a church friend she needs food and I don't mind taking her she is 80 years old and such a nice person. well take care all0

Hi
It is 48 degrees this morning a small change from yesterdays temperature. I won't be walking today. I'll be siting here drinking my coffee. This is the rest of yesterdays coffee that I need to Microwave.
Have a Great Friday

Hi Irene
I had a suspicion that was what had happened. I am sorry that The PT went like that, being in pain is no fun. I hope that the ice pack has helped.IreneMurman wrote: »good morning, went for a little walk today only 5000 but I think that is what I need to do for a while they say it takes like a year to mend sure hope that is not true for me.

Just curious, Are You posting from something other than a computer? It displays really funny on my end. 5,000 steps is a good start IMO.
I did manage to hurt my knee, which explains the no walking. It bothered me enough that I had a poor nights sleep too.
That is a really nice thing to do taking someone shopping as You start doing more.
Have a Nice Day
RogerAw, hope it starts feeling better soon, Irene.

Hi Vix
At the risk of being repetitive, I did manage to hurt my knee, which explains no walking. I had hoped to be able to get out and about Today or Tomorrow, Now I do not think that will be happening as I felt more pain overnight last night than the night before
As I say, things will be ready when they are ready.
Good Luck with the Painting

Good morning.
Hope you all start feeling better. I'm going to try acupuncture next week...I've made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. I'll let you know how that goes.
I've been all off track with my diet and need to get back to that.
Happy Friday, everyone. 0 -
Roger, no I use my computer all the time my tablet and smart phone doesn't have this link on them.0

Hi
It is 42 degrees this morning a change to the colder from yesterdays temperature. I won't be walking today. I'll be siting here drinking my coffee. This is the rest of Thursdays coffee that I need to Microwave since I went to the bank Yesterday and stopped at McDonalds for a large black coffee instead of heating the leftover coffee.
Forecast today for the 60s, warmer tomorrow and parts of NJ had a frost warning for the overnight Friday into Saturday morning. First one of those that I can remember for this season.
Have a Great Weekend

You are braver than I am, Acupuncture and letting someone stick pins into me would not be my preferred method of pain relief. I will be interested in hearing how that works for You however as I try to keep an open mind
Good Luck getting back on the rails with Your diet.

Hi Irene
In that case it must be something weird that happened due to my using FireFox with MFP, I'm not sure since it was only that one message I quoted. The other suspect is that Windows 10 had installed some updates on the 12th in the background that finished installing when I shut down yesterday instead of Just Hibernating this computer. I do like Hibernating it as that lets me leave things there waiting to be resumed when I power back on as if I had never killed the power.
The reason I use FireFox is simple, I like the Spell Check that happens as I type the message and the way that I can start it after a shut down and go to History and select "Restore Previous Session" from the History tab or selectively restore recently closed Tabs or use a security setting to erase browser history when I close it or use custom settings selectively erase some of it. Downloads I can easily access from the browser without opening other Explorer windows and more.
Enjoy the Weekend

good morning, hey Roger how is your knee? Is it any better? Vix years ago I was having back problems I had acupuncture it did help good ,luck I hope you feel some relieve from it .I know some people don't believe in it. But it helped me so hoping it helps you. Jo what are you up to how is your foot coming along? My knee was pretty much pain free even after all the running around not sure if it was because I was so active or what but it felt good not to hurt ,not only that but I have been sleeping all night again ,I got so tired of sleeping on the sofa good to be back in bed.Today our plans are to go to home depot to get a new facet for the kitchen starting to drip and is driving me crazy so today we are going to change it actually George will change it. Then to the bank and then to the lake so we can all walk and of course Annie can swim she loves the water I try and keep her out of the water in the winter but that doesn't always work I make sure I have a huddie for her it keeps her warm after her swim. take care

Good morning.
Irene, glad you're feeling and sleeping better. You have a busy day planned. Have fun at the lake.
Roger, it was cooler here today too. It was about 38 at 7:30, with a forecast of 66 as a high for today, but it looks like there are a few more warm days coming up this week. Hope your knee starts feeling better.
Jo, hope you're not working too hard, and get a chance to enjoy the weekend.
I got my flu shot yesterday, and it did make me achy this time. Cool but sunny day today, and tonight we're going to see David Sedaris at the Weinberg Theater in Frederick. His books are usually pretty funny, so I think his presentation will be entertaining.
Tomorrow we are planning to meet up with my son and his girlfriend to go to Baltimore. It's fleet week, where you can look at several ships in the harbor, and the Blue Angels are doing a fly-over show. So busy weekend for me.
Have a great day, everyone. 0 -

Thank You for asking, The Knee seems to be getting better, slowly. Depending on how the day and tonights sleep is I might even try a short walk tomorrow
I'm glad to hear that You are sleeping better and that the knee was pretty much pain free too.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Vix
I see warmer days coming in the next week too, yea!
The possible side effects is one reason why I have been skipping getting the flu shots in recent years. So far so good
Knock Wood
Fleet Week and the Blue Angels sounds like fun, Enjoy
