    Heather/Katla please explain the "face exercises" for me. Sounds like something I could use. :)

    Re: Thanks for the good wishes for my frozen shoulder to thaw. :smiley: It is improving, bit by bit.

    Penny: Your comments on "continence" caused me to spontaneously start doing kegel exercises. :laugh: Thanks for the reminder! Regarding friends who have not been posting: I contacted Sylvia & she stepped back a bit because she's been so busy with her artist's coop. I don't know about Lisa or Lenora. Maybe someone else does. :ohwell: I'd love to know your sourdough bread recipe. Mine tends to turn out very heavy. :star:

    Pip: Yay for $1001! :bigsmile:

    Barbie: Thank you for starting our thread each month. (((HUGS))) I'll be looking for the new thread, and will give my August summary along with my not so new goals/resolutions. If something works, I don't fix it. My goals/resolutions work for me. :flowerforyou:

    Miriam: I hope you're feeling better soon. :heart:

    Heather: Thanks for the reminder about the face exercises. I had forgotten about them! :embarassed: My face is actually doing pretty well, but under my chin & my neck are not doing quite as well. :grumble:

    Janet OKC: When caring for your face, remember that too much sunshine is an enemy. Use good sunscreen &/or hats that shade your face. Here is a useful link for face exercises: http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/544896/5-anti-ageing-facial-exercises-you-can-try-at-home.html



    Yoga today! Yay!!!!! I'm planning to repeat my sequence from Monday: stationary bike, circuit machines, balance "ball", kettlebell, and yoga. I felt really good after Monday's trip to the fitness center.

    Oh, I see you'd already posted a link, Katla. Thanks! I'm on my cell phone right now, but I'll post my recipe later, when I'm back on my computer.

    I did look up a few exercises online, but then I bought a book with good reviews from Amazon. I was extremely sceptical that they would work, but they certainly haven't done me any harm. I also keep out of the sun, use anti ageing serum and factor 50 on my face if I am out and about. I use a "lift" cream on my neck on the grounds that it can't hurt. My "wattle" skin from losing the weight has gone away, but that could just be time.
    I waggle my ears regularly when I think about it. I raise my eyebrows and stretch out my eyes and also bring my lower lid towards my nose. For my mouth lines I grin like a Cheshire Cat as hard as I can and as upward as I can. My face has got more mobile since I've been doing it, so I can stretch bits of it further. My ears waggle nicely now. :laugh:
    Improvements have been seen in my jowls, my neck, my downward mouth lines (more diagonal) and in my upper eyelid droop. I don't know if this is the exercises, natural skin tightening or improved nutrition. Or serum. Anyway, as it takes me no time I will continue.

    I've had a lovely day, catching up on back TV, but I'm glad I shall be socialising tomorrow. <3

    Peach - I hope some of my food ideas might be useful, but even I get in a rut sometimes. I am lucky with my DH, who is very appreciative, but I save the spicier, weirder things that I like for when he is out of the house. Sometimes I tell him to make himself a sandwich so I can indulge. :laugh: That is usually lunch time. I have an infinite capacity for chilli. <3 I also tend to like all things strange. B):D
    My EX DMIL was married to a man who could not stand onions or garlic. To me that relationship wouldn't even begin :noway: and would certainly be grounds for divorce. :sad:

    My husband does grocery shopping also and remembers to get everything I ask. It's just the other things he adds to it. No telling what high sodium, fat and carbohydrate good thing he will bring home. And he knows my weakness for cookies, brownies and ice cream.

    i used my patch last night and it felt wonderful. Only problem is that I really hadn't had the pain bother me that much during the day. But an hour after I took it off I was hurting. But that's OK, as long as I can sleep at night. And if I can cut down on my other sleep aides such as Narco, muscle relaxant and ambien then it is worth wearing the patch. It is a tier 4 and requires prior authorization so I don't think it is going to come cheap.

    I'm not sure if Michelle can help me do a spreadsheet or not. But just writing down my entries last night it makes it look sloppy. I have been known to make a chart and then when time to turn it in, recopy it in a more organized. Cardiologist said not to take my medicine if b/p is lower than 130 except the beta blocker. So it was 129 this morning and only took the Metaprolol.

    Got to go do laundry, Charlie took it down there. I jsut don't trust him on the settings I like. Plus he fills the cap up and puts it on extra rinse instead of doing the little bit of liquid you are supposed to use.

    How do I stop notifications from this group. You all are awesome, but it's too overwhelming for me - too many people. I'd love to find a small group of 4-5 women who want a smaller motivational support. If so, send me a friend request and we can either start a group or just message each other.

    Best to all of you.

    Hi! My name is Donna and I just recently (today) came across your site. I have a site called "Motivation through Faith" and those of you who are interested are welcome. I would like to do the goal thing on here. It sounds good because I am a very goal oriented person. Let me know if I can join!

    i am recognizing how tiring being around so many people can be after going back to school this week! We have very large gatherings, small meetings and catch up sessions in the hallways between every event! Fun, a little, exhausting, VERY! :s
    I ran a few errands after work, and have a splitting headache so I came home to some peace and quiet and you lovely posters! <3
    I will be working on the September goals but have to page back and find my August goals to see what's what!
    This introvert needs some peaceful reflection! o:)

    Peach, so beautiful. i hate it when my beautician can make it look perfect and then I take it home and something happens on the way home. I need one who lives in my house. Well I do have a husband that cuts his own hair. I do not want him to do mine.

    Katla, I really don't feel any better, still lightheaded most of the time if I am standing up. I have just decided that it doesn't help me to talk about it all the time.

    Do we have a September thread open yet? If so, I can't seem to lay my eyes on it.

    Thanks!

    Katla thanks for the link, I will check it out. Heather thanks for the explanation of what you do. Anything is worth a try. I also keep my face covered and wear sunscreen. I've already had a skin cancer removed my by left eyebrow years ago.

    Regarding Lenora, are then gone now on their trip to visit their youngest son and his family? I know she was talking about going soon.

    :)m1277.gif To everyone who is new, I hope you'll come back....yes, there are a lot of women posting here, but that means that no matter when you check in with this thread, there is something to read....yes, some amazing women respond thoughtfully to everyone, but others of us, just write about a little of what's going on and others just read and don't respond at all except for posting a heart or smile....all are welcome.

    :)Peach, your new style is great.

    :) I've already composed the text for the kick-off for September and I'll post it just before bedtime for me (it will be late for some and early for others)

    81824br5uyrfrsr.gif line dance class this morning was great....our newest dance is called "Better When I'm Dancing" and that tells part of the story of my life.
