WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2018

Just got back from a bridal shower ... I have house goods envy! Seriously, though ... I have to wonder why I hang on to ratty and worn old things? Surely, after 32 years of playing house, I can spring for some new things!

BETH ~ I hear you about not replacing things. Our sofa is probably 45 yrs old but it still looks OK. And, I just got through putting clear packing tape over a tear in the screen door to the back porch. Why can't I get DH to just get it re-screened?

Another good day of logging! My lunch is strange with cottage cheese, white beans, tomatoes and EVOO dressing. Dinner is a can of tuna, fettuccine noodles, and a mixture of mayo and dressing, and cucumbers. Snack is 2 tbs of walnuts! I am amazed at how little I eat sometimes. I was under 23 calories, but my "card shuffling" to get the carbs, fats, and proteins is crazy sometimes!
It's definitely a puzzle!
Hugs all!

Going to walk around today! I hope I find some rocks!

I eat like a single person. Is it wrong to have NO desire to eat what my husband eats??

Jake and I eat a meal of approximately the same food at about five lunches each week. Every other meal is "find it and fix it". It works great for us.

Went for a walk and put my six beads in hoop earrings!


Watched my husband buy carmel corn and giant chocolate maltballs! I wasn't at all tempted! Husband said, " thank you for letting me buy candy"...

I never ate what my husband did for lunch. Dinners when he cooked we ate the same. He was a househusband, so cooked most dinners.

Hmm a landmine field negotiation at my house. My husband loves cooking up new and VERY calorie heavy dishes. Large quantities of said dishes. He also a) rarely eats leftovers, b) insists I do dishes when he cooks, c) uses every dish in the kitchen when he cooks) d) pouts if I don’t like the dish or eat only a small calorie limited portion, and e) won’t substitute lower calorie ingredients.

But outside the kitchen he isn’t needy or demanding so I do my best to humor him. It certainly made dieting a lot more challenging. Lol.

If I make a roast or steak he’ll eat it. Otherwise he doesn’t come within 10 feet of my cooking. I cook a lot of lunches for myself.

He eats a lot of bread, pasta, and rice. I don’t like rice, I have had two pieces of bread this year and I don’t really like pasta. I eat lots of fresh fruit and frozen veggies. He will have frozen sangria smoothies if I make them and had some strawberries at his mom’s house this year. He WILL eat Caesar salad, but that is the only veg he ever has unless a dish calls for sautéed onions.

We try to eat dinner at the same time.

It is a challenge.

I don't think it is necessarily wrong to eat different foods than your DH. What does the man eat? Is there any common ground that includes things you both enjoy? I've had good fortune by limiting portion sizes and counting calories, rather than by focussing on this group of foods or that group of foods. DH & I often have meals that include some things alike and others different. I'm usually high protein and high fat on average, with moderate or low carbs. I feel good and am getting good news on health reports so I'm happy with it. In my view this is about counting calories and choosing foods that give me energy and contribute to feeling good. Of course, if your husband is eating worms or sawdust I wouldn't blame you for going a different direction. :devil:

Heather: Your grandchildren are adorable! I wish I could see mine more often. Envy isn't eating me, but I notice your good luck from time to time. I am happy for you.

Hi friends. Just a quick hello. I got so busy and didn't notice the time and now my blood sugar is heading downward, so I need to make dinner. I got my new fitbit (still can't find the old one) and started the fitbit coaching, so I did a 20 minute workout. Well I tried. Most of it was beyond me! Do any of you use the premier coaching? It's a reasonable price, but I hate to pay for something I'm not going to like or do. I have to get used to this fitbit because it doesn't show my steps, just little lights that go on and off. I can look at the app on my phone though.

OK ladies....I'm off. Sorry this was a short post. Meg from once-again-dreary Omaha.
