WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2016

Heather: (((HUGS))) My neighbor's son and his wife moved to England just a few months ago. They told her that the people who voted to withdraw from EU seemed to be generally older. I don't know whether they're referring to our age, or ancient. I also don't have a clue whether they're correct. We're facing a critical election, too. The outcome could be very scary. :ohwell: Having the Grands for a while will give you something to take your mind off of worries. Enjoy them as much as you can. :bigsmile: Is the tax exile husband in Gibralter to escape the law for some criminal issue, or voluntarily to escape taxes? Just curious. :huh:
Grits: I worked with a couple of women who went the in-vitro route. Both were ultimately successful and had babies in their early forties. The kids are starting school now. I'll send good thoughts for your son and DDIL.
Pip: You are an athletic star in my book.
Chris: You new job sounds very difficult. I hope things improve. Are you already looking for another job? :huh:
Barbie: Baseball is weird. Height and weight? Height makes sense to me because it would affect the swing of the bat but why is weight anyone's business outside of the sports of boxing & wrestling? :noway:
Becca: Obviously you are loved. :flowerforyou: Your son & his wife look great.
Kim: My mom was very shy and would get embarrassed when I would hug her back when I was a little kid. You are not the only one with an odd mom. :noway:
Michelle: I would give the lady a Crab or Shrimp Louie with the dressing on the side so she can use as much or little as she likes. You are amazing and generous.
Ketone Karen: Sorry about the pretzel chips. I've discovered that my will power (& won't power) is strongest at the store and weakest in my house. Becca is right. Don't beat yourself up over it, just get rid of the remains and get on with life. Everyone blows it once in a while. You can exercise extra to burn off the calories. :ohwell:
NCRawGirl: Welcome. :flowerforyou:
Rita: I'm happy to hear that you're taking care of yourself. (((HUGS)))
Cheri: You have a great attitude about your move. It will help both of you make the adjustments to the new situation. You are one smart cookie! :flowerforyou:
Yoga today! Yay! We are working on our travel plans to visit DS and DDIL. I've made reservations for the dog to stay at the veterinarian's, and DH needs to make them with the airline. We've decided to take Joyce's excellent advice and rent a mobility device in the DC area. That is another detail that needs to be handled.

Katla The chips belonged to the person ahead of me in line, apparently the clerk inadvertantly included them in my groceries. I could have taken them back but I ate them instead. Not my finest moment. I have a pretzel hangover today
but my mood is philosophical and am viewing it as a learning experience. 2 -
MFP is acting a bit strange today. Anyone else having any problems?
I've read all so far and will post a bit later. It's lunchtime in SC.
Hugs to all,

Heather
by the end of Thursday (the last day) I should have 686 mi. I dunno, I may take a joy ride and do extra 14 mi to make it an even 700

hello friends. Insomnia before a 5 hour drive to college orientation today. Yikes. We are on DD's college campus where It is hot humid and crowded with people I don't know and my DD has rUn off to make college friends with nary a glance back in my direction. Reminds me of her 1st day of kindergarten again!
So I've turned to you steadfast and strong ladies to feel centered again. I will get through the humid nite on an extra long twin bed in a dorm with no air conditioner, I will make smart food choices and I will feel grateful, exhausted but grateful for my blessings.

So day two of really being on point about my eating log. I have my journal set up to have a breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, then evening snack. It makes me think of "stoking the furnace" (ie: my body), and getting in a treat now and then. Took my Endangered Species milk chocolate bar and cut it into 3 long segments. So I will have a line of cocoa heaven with my coffee tonight. (hmm that sounds strange eh?) I am down a lb. since yesterday. I am thinking that my body knows how to get back to my new medium. Learning that the achy feeling in my tummy is just it shrinking back to normal. I am learning that perseverance means looking forward to the next meal or snack..and appreciating it. I am amazed some days in how little I can eat, (good healthy food but little portions), and feel sustained. The body is an awesome machine!
((((hugs)))) friends

Logged in my weight...(it was only .01 lbs from when the last time I logged in). I shall do it daily, just to see, and because I am curious of the crazy up and downs my body does during a week. I also reset my "Day Streak" number on here, because well, I felt like I WAS accountable in my eating while husband (and I) were at the hospital. It's comforting to see the triple digits again. I had worked hard to see those.

Go Becca!!!!!!!!!!
Katla - It was an age divide, but it was much more an educational divide. Plus an economic one. I'm not in the game of blaming the poor though.
This thread is not the place for an essay on the subject, but anyone who is interested in my general take on the subject could read The Guardian on line. There were some excellent articles on Saturday.
Pip - I will be very disappointed if you don't make it a nice round number.
England V Iceland tonight. DH will be watching upstairs.
My friend in Portsmouth wants to meet up for lunch on Monday.
Love Heather3 -

Bugs -1 Charleen - 1 (game and match point!)
Bugs and Bugs Jr. were spotted outside of the fence this morning. They tried all around the fence including the gates and could not get in! I'll replant seeds for the spinach and lettuce they ate but it will be late in the season before they will be large enough for me to pick. At least I will have strawberries for the rest of the summer.
Charleen in Colorado (Just went under a tornado watch for the rest of the day)

Our daughter-in-law booked our flights to visit them in the Washington DC area for us. We had enough air miles that the flights are free! I can't believe it! The woman is a magician. We've also rented a mobility scooter for DH that will be dropped off at DS & DDIL's home earlier on the day we are set to arrive. The rental company will pick it up from their house, too. Thank you Joyce for the wonderful idea of renting! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Now all we have to do is set up a place to leave our car in Portland, and we're done with reservations! 3

Cheri - I told ya Texans were nice.When we returned to our hotel room last night we found a surprise. There was a big gift bag full of treats and Texas A & M goodies. What a wonderful welcome they are providing for us. I got all teary eyed.
I went to the Dr. today, got the news about the rotator cuff tear. Yup, it's there. Yup, it's bad. He couldn't do surgery for at least 3 weeks due to vacations, my husband's schedule etc. and so I decided to try a steroid shot since that would only delay surgery by a week (the standard in his practice is you can't have surgery for at least 4 weeks after a steroid shot). If it works great, if not, well I've only lost a week. Everyone told me that I'd feel the difference almost immediately since there is also a pain medication along with the steroid...uh not so much. Hurts just as much hours later as it did before. I'll see how the next few days go. I have PT exercises to do. He said if I am pain free and have range of motion in six weeks no surgery. One can hope right?3 -

About five years ago my mom, DH, and I went to visit a Museum in St. Charles Missouri. It was actually the starting place for the Lewis and Clark expedition. It was also the original capitol of Missouri. We were the only ones on the tour and had a wonderful tour guide. We had a great time together, and I came away with knowledge of my roots. I was born in Missouri. Down the street was the Casino on the River. In Missouri the casinos are on the river boats. They built a hotel for the boat. The parking lot was packed. Casinos have their place. History does too especially in these times. First people have to realize what they are missing just as Heather and Miriam said before decisions are made that have far reaching effects. Margaret 0

Hello beautiful ladies-- well my dessert resolve lasted a week, but yesterday I was so famished from working in the yard in the heat that I broke down and had a piece of carrot cake in an air conditioned locale.i still managed to to not eat all my calories back.
Heather and Miriam I also think that uneducated and undereducated voters are a major reason we have all the problems we have. So many people have let their critical reasoning skills go out the window. I worry that the media conglomerates owned by a handful of folks have encouraged this as part of a long range plan, even though I am far from being a conspiracy theorist. I hope and pray things will turn around.
Who had the bunny problem? I think I joined your club--Swiss chard and cilantro chomped to bits...
Pip, you go girl! As always, in awe of you.
Welcome new people--sorry I cannot keep track of you, but it seems I am being swamped with things to do and am only managing to read posts once a day.
We don't care how old you are--hey we are getting so we don't even care how old we are!2 -

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Ladies,
MicheleNC, when the avocado fell out and open did you make guacamole? Yum
Charlene, I love your flock of flamingos!!!
Joyce, cool date night. Glad you found the movie.
Allie, I hope you can get that infection taken care of before your trip. ((((Hugs))))
NCRawGirl, yes, close is good enough for us when it comes to age. Please tell us about yourself to help us get to know you and sign each post with the name you want to be called. This is a great place for support and information. We have a number of NC ladies here.
Rita, “AT A GIRL” on that walking. Keep up the good work.
Heather, I know you still aren’t happy but so glad that you are feeling a little better. I do hope it shakes out that none of it is as bad as the doom Sayers are predicting. Sending more ((((Hugs)))) your way and have fun with the kids.
Pip, you are wasting your time trying to collect any fees because Lenora is just stealing them right out of our accounts, ya know.
Cheri, I’m happy things are going well and sure hope you find something that you like real soon. How nice that you got the welcome basket! I do hope you love it there!!!
Katla, glad you are making plans to visit the kids. I know you will all enjoy that trip.
NYKaren, your trip reminds me of us going to Parent’s Weekend to see our DD her Freshman year at Clemson. I think we saw her for about 4 minutes maybe. Know that we are here for you.
Jean, welcome. You will find this a great place for support and information. Hope that this time around you won’t go on “a diet” but will change your way of eating and thinking about food so you can stick with it forever. That seems to be what works. Please sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific.
Go, Pip, Go. But you are wearing me out just reading about all those miles. Unbelievable.
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Our power went out for about two hours this afternoon for no reason. It was the whole neighborhood. We don’t know if there was some construction work that caused it or what but was glad to get it back. All the bunny talk reminded me that we had a bunny in the back yard just before dark today. It looked like it was eating grass and was out there with the squirrel and the birds.
Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy Day!
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ
