    Happy Birthday, Carol. New hair, new you? Hope it's your healthiest year ever.

    Wendy: Your imagination is off the charts. Love it, and envy you.

    Barbie: Sorry to hear the backache continues. Hope there is an answer and you find healing soon.

    I took a page out of Barbie's book and installed a used recumbent bike in our living room today. DH likes it, and since he currently does his exercises in the living room, he promises to be a frequent user. For me, it's where I expect to be sitting in the evenings while watching news and sports. Hoping to generate what Heather terms "bonus" calories in addition to what I do in the mornings.

    Stay well friends. We can do this.

    OK Ladies ~ I turned 70 today. That was the reason for the hair color change. My mom dyed her hair until her death at 91 and so did my beloved Grandmother! LOL Don't know if I will keep it but will see if I can adjust to the darker color.

    Happy Birthday!! :)

    Regarding breakfast ... I have the same thing every weekday:

    A cup of black coffee
    A tall glass of cold water

    :)Rebecca, I have had almost exactly the same breakfast every day for years. I have about a dozen simple meals that I rotate for lunch and dinner. The less I have to think about what to eat, the better. It is a system that works for me. My life continues to get simpler and I love it that way.

    :)Carol, Happy Birthday. I've never colored my hair. As it started to get gray, I liked it and let it change colors on its own. it's one less thing I have to think about.

    <3 Barbie

    Did a spinning workout today. Boy, it’s been a while since I’ve done that! The plan for tomorrow is to go to the deep water class

    M – please don’t send those winds to the US. Stay safe

    Katla – I don’t think we’d leave Newcomers. Too many good friends. And I know Vince enjoys shooting and I enjoy bowling. If we left, I’m willing to bet that no one takes that over. Same with Rummikub. I stop in to Facebook probably every day, but mainly to play Words with Friends. I don’t care for a lot of the posts

    Tracey – awesome loss

    Went to the Mazda dealer to get my garage door opener out of the car and a few coupons. I didn’t think it would take this long for them to fix it! While I was there the guy told me that they put in a new TCM but the computer still says there are problems. I bet they’re going to be REAL careful before they give it back to me. I honestly don’t care. I have a loaner car. I’m just trying to figure out some of the features. After exercising, bought gas. Now doing a load of laundry then will probably go in the pool. Vince has shooting tonight.

    Mnewell – so sorry about your friend. Hope your son heals fast

    Rebecca – a whole head of cabbage is sure better than a whole carton of ice cream, look at it that way. I usually don’t have the same thing for breakfast. But then again, my breakfasts are weird. Like tomorrow I’m planning to have peas, protein powder, blueberries, and chicken broth.

    Barbie – I wish you could use exercise, too. I’m a bit surprised that the p.t. didn’t suggest exercises for you to do in the meantime

    My carbs are always high. It’s the fruit that kills me. I love my fruit.

    Groundlocked – welcome! What sort of job do you have? Congrats on that loss!

    Margaret – way to go girl on having that peach instead of the peach pie! I always find it so interesting that I’d rather have the fruit than a pie/muffin/whatever.

    Carol – happy birthday

    My facebook comments are mostly “congratulations” “happy birthday” or “happy anniversary”

    Lenora – didn’t you recently fall and now again you did! Take care, girlfriend!

    Rori – soon you’ll need side-by-side recumbant bikes in your living room, one for you and one for dh!

    Yeah Carol! Frozen margaritas sounds amazing! :drinker: I'll be 70 next year, so I'll be joining you. :D

    DH has been having anxiety attacks recently, along with IBS. :s It's mainly at night, so he's not sleeping. I suggested we take ourselves off to the local pub tonight so he can have fish and chips and a pint of beer. There is usually something for me on the menu. Last time I had duck and watermelon salad. :) We rarely go out just for us, normally with friends, so it will be a nice change. It's a very informal space, but quite "country pub" like. I have put my face on and will wear my blue tasselled earrings. B)

    Must do a short declutter session after my afternoon avocado and homemade Greek yoghurt. With tabasco. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Carol: Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!!! :flowerfroyou:

    Barbie: I lightened my hair once in my 20's. It wasn't worth the trouble so I never did it again. I did have a perm in my early 30's. It was not a good job. A neighbor claimed to be a beautician, but she certainly did me no favor. That was a lesson that I never forgot. I never had another perm, and doubt that I ever will. :noway:

    Michele: I am happy for you that the Newcomer's group is still something you value and enjoy. :star:



    I nearly missed a city meeting last night and although I studied diligently, I felt unprepared for parts of the discussion. The meeting was very long & DH was already in bed when I got home. The dog got me up repeatedly in the night, too. :grumble: I hope that today is less stressful..

    It's Wednesday ladies!

    Pip - one of the neatest things about your "before" pictures was the look of love on Kirby's face. I am so thrilled you two found each other. Glad you are feeling better and enjoy the ride up on Whidbey.

    Barbara AHMOD - I am totally impressed by your trail carving/hacking skills. There's something very special about little clearings in the forest like that. Oh, and hole digging! Hope it's cool and unsmokey down your way.

    Katla - that's right, you had that city planning meeting. Our area also needs affordable housing. Before I retired I was the admin for our engineering department and we dealt a lot with traffic issues and upgrades to existing roadways, stormwater, etc. We were the thorn in the side of the developers, lol. Brings back old memories - that was one of my favorite jobs.

    Barbie - good luck at your doc's and hope they can find what's up with your back. It's encouraging that you are able to move more but disappointing the PT didn't have good news. Sending healing thoughts!

    Ok ladies, short and sweet. Back out to water before that red sun starts heating us up. B)

    How do I join this group?
    I am turning 60 in December, currently 173.5 and 5'5" tall. I have been tracking on MFP for 27 days and have lost 6# so far. I have my calories set at 1200 and my macros set at 50% carbs (seasonal veggies, berries and whole grains), 20% fat (olive oil, avocado, some cheese, etc) and 30% (lean) protein. I've been on pretty much on target with calories and seem to go over on fats so I'm decreasing red meats.

    Lanette: We have brown air this morning. Yuck. Our planning meeting last night was productive from my perspective, but the developer has to redo some things and wasn't thrilled with that news. They're in a hurry so I'm guessing they'll be back with the revisions by next month. The residential neighborhood across the street was well represented with people who are not happy with a major apartment complex so close to their homes. We have a serious housing shortage here & the project will help with that issue. I enjoy participating in the planning process. :star:

    galinazo: Welcome to a wonderful group! You can find us again easily by clicking on the blank star at the to of the page. It will turn yellow. From then on, you can find us by clicking on the yellow star. As to nutrition, we all have different strategies. I have a higher protein & fat proportion in my diet than some people choose. It suits me well and I feel energetic and healthy this way. It took me a while to find my balance, and I'm happy with it. Be patient with yourself and stick with the calorie goal that MFP sets for you. They will gradually lower your allowed calories as you lose weight. :flowerforyou:

    Have a great day, everyone!
