WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MAY 2018

Rebecca: I'm sorry that your son's roommate is a flake, but glad that there is a solution in the foreseeable future. I always thought that you planned to live with your son. Looks like it is heading that direction.
Lenora & R Can Saw: I appreciate the state name pronunciation complaint. We hear Ory-gone from people who don't know any better. The proper pronunciation is Ory-gun.
One of my yoga teachers lived on the Island of Hawaii in the past. According to her, the lava is currently flowing down hill and into the ocean to make a bigger island. Occasionally it flows toward populated areas. When we talked about it, this eruption was all heading into the ocean to build a bigger island. When Mt St Helens erupted in Washington we had literally tons of ash fall. We scooped the ashes out of our house gutters and it was HEAVY. :noway:
Barbara: I've only been taking the sublingual B complex with B12 a few days. I feel as though it boosts my brain function. I feel more alert and more articulate.
Pip: So glad that you and Kirby enjoyed your ride & the new bike is a winner.
Lanette: My neighbor is convinced that she is the Goddess of Gardening and knows what is best for all people in all situations. She is also pushy, overbearing, and obnoxious. Yesterday the President of the Homeowners Association instructed her to leave my plants alone at my request. Thank goodness. I wouldn't put sneaking over to do what she wants past her, though. :grumble: Months ago I asked her to go to a Master Gardener course with me. She didn't even bother with an answer. I don't think we're destined to become "besties." :ohwell:
Barbara: Our next-door neighbor just had her kitchen countertop replaced with quartz. I haven't seen it yet. We know that she will be having expenses due to outdoor siding problems discovered by our painters. We also need to have our guest bedroom window checked for leaks and may need work done. We don't know any details yet. :ohwell:
Today I will be returning a gift from DH that was a sweet and generous idea, but not practical. He bought me a small electric rototiller. It is a cutie, but not small enough for the limited space that I have. Using a hula hoe is more practical. He also gave me a Kitchen Aid mixer, and I am thrilled with it. He chose the right size and a perfect color. We need to be able to make our own gluten free pie crust dough & it is a difficult chore to do by hand. This will make pie crust dough a snap. :bigsmile;
Have a great day!

Meg!!!.
Katla & Lanette. I took Master Gardener classes and one of the advanced classes, too, but alas! I can no longer officially call myself a Master Gardener because after a few years, I just didn't keep up with the continuing education & volunteer work. Maybe again someday...sigh! I have decided I don't like Katla's neighbor.

Kate- it's not necessarily the fat that is giving you issues. It could be in the amount of protein you are eating. Or sugar.
Here's an interesting article you might want to read.

A lot to do this week. Getting ready to leave on Saturday morning for a week in San Diego with the new baby and the twins. Then we will come back for the night and leave the following Monday for Minnesota. Now to do my exercises then prep the inside for traveling as well as packing for San Diego. Did not realize how cold it was in San Diego the last time we were there I wish we had jackets!

Happy birthday, Meg!! Be sure to post a picture of your flowers.
Such wonderful news, Machka. You have been on quite a ride.
I'm feeling a little off. I woke up at 4:00, couldn't get back to sleep, but was too tired (lazy) to get myself to the gym. I got glutened Sunday or yesterday, so I've been really sick. When this happens, I just want to give up on eating all together.
I know I was going to say more, but between the gluten reaction and getting up too early . . . that's about all I have.
Oh, except that I thought your comment about bone density, Rye, was really fascinating. Reminds me how important strength training and weight-bearing exercise is. It's not just about the scale.

Meg - Happy Birthday! It sounds like you were off to a fantastic one! Have a fantastic day! 1

Hi ladies,
Rebecca, congrats on being down an pound! Hope your son wakes up to the roommate use of him.
Penny, whoo hoo for tracking.
Lisa, welcome back and Snoopy pappy dance for the grant and weight. Looks like you are getting settled in. and I love your painting area.
Wendy, another person with weight loss. Yeah!
Cheri, and yet another person with weight loss. Well done!
Lanette, bling is just old cheap costume jewelry. Not sure where it came from. Maybe some of my mom’s.
Allisonlane, way to go on the 5k run!
Heather, just finished the book. WOW is all I can say.
Meg, Happy Birthday birthday girl! Guess your b-day was special since DD#1 texted you.
(((Machka)))
Felicia, sorry you are sick. Hope you are better soon.
Day 2 of tracking and staying within calories. Could I actually get back on track this time. DD and I went shopping for clothes last Saturday. Found a pair of pants, shorts and Bermuda shorts. I also got two tops, but going to take them back as they are too small. At the rate I’m going I’ll be going naked if I don’t find some new clothes. Everything I reach into my summer clothes, the item is too big. Guess DD and I better go out shopping again. Not sure what I’m going to do if I have surgery as I won’t be able to get a pant over my cast. May have to open seems until the cast is off then sew them back up.
Almost 70 here today! Finally getting warmer. Although I won’t be getting much done this summer in a boot. I do the lawn mowing because I like to do it but ready to turn it over to my neighbors kid (if he is finally old enough this year.
Well, that’s about it for now. Terry In VT5 -

Happy Birthday Meg!
Heather and other hot weather runners- I learned to run in the winter (and love it), the hotter temps (80*F and up) were never easy for me. Remember to stay hydrated, or you will have a headache to beat the band! Listening to you talk about your progress, really has me missing it. Need to get my ankles and knee stronger, though; otherwise I will be on the short track for an injury. Have fun!
KJ0 -
Thank you Terry. If you feel able a review would be wonderful.
Meg - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :drinker: And hooray for DD1.
My younger son is going to take a day off work when we go down there on the 31st. He said, "so we can do something all together" .
This is very unusual. !!!!!! I think my book has brought us closer, though he hasn't read it, and I am also living his AF life with him, for the large part. We swap ideas for delicious drinks etc.
Weird how life goes.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

My favourite Japanese Azalea, it never lets me down, blooms every year. It is in a pot near my front door.

I’m back on the weight loss wagon. I want to drop 5 more pounds. Not Vanity weight, but sanity weight. Lol.
My weight appears to fluctuate in a range of about 5 or 6 pounds. At the top of that range at my current maintenance weight is the BMI line between normal and overweight. Every time the scale gets near it, my head freaks and thinks I’m obese again. So, if I’m 5 pounds lighter, the top of my maintenance range won’t bump that invisible (and really irrelevant, I know) line.
I know some folks would recommend not weighing every day, but if I only weighed once a week and got one of the high weights I’d REALLY freak, so I think this will be best.
————
Sardines = not for me
Gardening = not for me (any other ladies here not gardeners?)
Heat = 84 and rising
Felicia: feel better soon, was this the Doritos or a different gluten source?
Terry: how is the ankle doing, it Looks good all blinged out, hope it feels better.
Warm thoughts to all and congrats to the weight losers!
Rye2 -
Kate... pretty Azalea!
Karen VA ... I don't think I like Katla's neighbor either!
Meg ... Happy Birthday!!
Had my eyes examined today (haven't been seeing well and low light bothers seemed to reduce my vision). All is well ... just need to trade in the "cheaters" to real glasses ... but the dilating drops have given me a headache. It's an incredibly bright and sunny day here. I was hoping to go outside to pick up tree branches ... but my eyes are aching so I think not.
I am on a roll! Finally making consistent good food choices and the weight is coming off! Down 7-1/2 pounds in the last two weeks... water weight to start I know but I feel like the last few days is actual fat. YS asked what "our" plan was for healthy eating and exercise ... and I showed him your kettlebell instructions, Mary. We'll be starting that together next week.

Hi my friends. Today's my birthday. DH has already called, and guess what??? DD#1 actually texted me to say happy birthday so that made my day. DD#2 has DH's debit card and she ordered me flowers; she doesn't realize it shows up on the bank account right away lol. So I'm waiting for them
Have a great day. Meg from Omaha who is still 39.
HAPPYYYYYYYY BDAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 -
Happy Birthday Meg!
I am just heading out to feed animals in the dark with a headlight on, then grab my back pack and drive to town to meet the tramping club bus for our hike today. It's quite windy outside. I'll be sure to bring my wet weather gear along.
I had another pound drop on the scale this morning from fasting yesterday. This puts me into my top range of acceptable. I might fit some of my tighter pants now. Going to eat today because I want to make sure my energy level is high so I don't lag behind my group.
Had a good day with Lady and my student. Made good progress, saddling and bridling and leading Lady around with student on board. Next assignment will be training her to trailer and pony her off Mani and then I will be taking her out to beach and forest.

Yep, when we mentioned it to him, about sharing a home, way back last summer, we all laughed about it! But it started making sense when I started looking at rental homes online. Son and I get along really well. My husband and him have Navy stories to chat about, but when my son starts talking about Legos, or scooters, the conversation only lasts so much, my husband has to either hand me the phone, or excuse himself to go do something. With us having our own spaces it should be fine. I know son will worry after he moves out, and his roommate is still there. Being that all the utilities are in sons name, he will be shutting them off the end of this month too. The roommate has choices. He can swallow his pride and move back home. His family is here in Oak Harbor! All I know is that when we saw his place last summer it was so messy. That is not how we taught our son to live! The fact that his roommate moved stuff out of one of my son's rooms to put up one of his family members for a couple days and that, like him, doesn't get along with family, angered the heck out of us!! He still had the scummy mattress on the floor and all my son's items piled on the living room. My momma bear hackles went UP with that one! Haahaa!

Oh good news down 8 lbs since I started this bead journey in February, and 5 lbs down since we moved here!
I have been consuming protein bars and that seems to be helping, keeping me full!
Plus they're only 76 cents at the commissary.

Bead queen!

I enjoyed your desert spring pictures! I assume it is getting hot now, my brother lives in the Palm Springs area and its been over 100 for awhile now. Are you two planning to move north for summer?

That's hilarious! She definitely wanted you to know she's thinking of you though.0 -
Happy Birthday Meg! Enjoy!0 -
Beth- you will love the kettle bell workout! Especially the results! If you have any questions feel free to ask me as well as several others on here who have started the program!
Mary from Arizona0 -
Wendy - congratulations on your successful fasting experience!
Rye- I also weigh every day! It helps me see how food affects my body. I am also cutting some weight to get down to create a maintenance buffer while I attempt recomposition.
Rebecca - congratulations on your loss! I love the bracelet! Great idea for a reward system!

Happy birthday, Meg!
I don’t like Katla’s neighbor, either.
Machka, I’m encouraged by your reports of your husband’s progress.
Ok, my reading of the comments about state name pronunciation makes me fearful that I have been pronouncing Oregon wrong my whole life. I say Or-uh-gun. Is it Or-ee-gun? Another new pronunciation I heard last week was Al (like Al Bundy) monds instead of ahl-monds for almonds. I’m pretty sure I’m in the majority on that one though. I know there’s the whole pe-Cann/pee-can controversy but didn’t know there was an almond one as well.
I had my yearly physical today. The doctor freaked over my breast exam and insisted on a mammogram next week instead of waiting one more week until I had a year and a day. He said he would code it diagnostic so that insurance would pay. My breast was sore when he mashed on it, but I honestly think it might have been from 3 sets of 30 reps of 6 different upper body exercises with dumbbells yesterday! I tried to tell him that, but he said he didn’t want to chance it.

Lanette I love the smell of milk weed too! I let it be if it pops up any where in our gardens. I saw the Flight of the Monarch at our science museum a few years ago. I get a few monarchs every year. I believe it is the gardeners that allow it in their gardens are part of who will save the monarchs. They also need all the pesticide free flowers they can get too! Glad you are growing it. It does tend to come up where it wants.
Happy Birthday MEG :flowerforyou:3 -
This is teacher appreciation week at our school, and unfortuately, it's all about pushing food!!!
yesterday was a carb-laden breakfast spread, today ice cream sundaes at lunch---so I walked away! Seriously, a handmade card or a pic from a student would be most welcome. Ah well, I am so over it 
Beth you go Girl Son home from school already?
A most beautiful spring day here, if DH will lift the mower I can get some calorie burning mowing the back yard.

Today I bought more bars, and looked carefully at the sugar content. One I had picked up had 21 grams of sugar!! The ones I chose were 20 grams of pritein, and only 3 grams of sugar.
My lunch today! Sauteed green onion, zucchini, mushroom, wild rice and a pouch of pink salmon! Paired with some pickled cucumbers. Yum city!!!!
Have a good day everyone!
Rebecca8 -
Congratulations, Rebecca, you're going to be festooned with beads soon!
Happy birthday, Meg!
Rye - I am no gardener. I love flowers, and take pics of them all the time, but I can kill any plant, simply by it being left in my care. My first husband said he felt like an accessory to murder every time he bought me a plant. The current and final husband knows better than to buy me one in the first place!
Found out we won another grant today... a few wins make it easier to take the rejections in stride, that's for sure!
Love y'all,
