Trying to find a pic of the slide that gives an idea of the scale. Freddie's has been able to restock gas and food, Conoco too.

That's crazy! That's just from mud/earth sliding? It looks difficult to fix, but I suppose the engineers can figure it out. And make it safe!

Lanette Thanks for that information about what you decided for your Medicare plan and why.
________
We braved cold, wet weather to go to Bonefish Grill for an early dinner; we shared a small Caesar salad & an appetizer (Mussels Josephine). That's all either of us wanted. It was not too much food, and it was delicious. Now we are home in our warm, dry house with our dogs, watching the evening news.

So I am worried. In Oregon when I would go to the doctor my BP would be like 137/73. High but not high enough to warrant being put on blood pressure meds. So now, I seem to be 155/84. That was before I exercised at the gym, they have a little sit down bp thingy. After the weight room, I checked it again and it was 145/83. I think I now need to be on high blood pressure pills. Its discouraging because I have always been so proud of myself to be medicine free. I need to own up to my fatness. Its taken its toll on this old body of mine.
Oh, Rebecca. Try not to worry too much. If you are using the gym machine, it may not be calibrated accurately. Also, our blood pressure does go up after we have exerted ourselves. Do you know if it comes back down after you have rested? Do you have a machine at home?
I would still get it checked out with the doc, but it may be as simple as a bad machine and good exercise. Hugs

Mari, welcome! You can google chair exercises and find lots of things you can do while seated. Hasfit has several videos, just as one example.
I lost 4.4 lbs in February. I give most of that credit to the new trainer at the gym. I did not miss a MWF class except for the 27th when I had to attend a hunger bowl lunch with DH because he was getting a service award. Consistency and logging is the key.
I’m following an eating plan starting today called the six week shred. It’s basically lots of small meals throughout the day, lots of turkey, chicken, fish, fruit and veggies. My goals for March are weight training 3 days a week, 10,000 steps every day, and to follow this plan.

Happy March! I hope we are finished with the snow for a while. I usually love snow, and I did enjoy the snow, but I've had enough. I need some sun and warmth.
Thank you, Barbie for starting these threads every month.
March Goal: I would like to really lose two pounds this month. Not just the two that I gained and lost and gained and lost multiple times last month! Lol
Love to all, and welcome to the new women.

Sharon, Nearly There, Near Seattle
I actually love the heat. Part of the reason I moved from Canada (roughly the same area as @Snowflake1968 (Tracey in Edmonton) to Australia was because I couldn't handle another winter.
And then I ended up in Tasmania with weather like the Pacific NW, so I now have the the rain, wind, and chilly-damp winters. Our first summer here was a real summer, but then we had several which were much like winter. This one is finally a real summer again.
Right now ...

In other news ...
I stuck to my diet for the last 3 days!!
I am starting to increase my exercise again.
Also, I have lost 1.2 kg since I stepped on the scale on Monday. Now before we think that's a bit fast, a lot of that was water weight.7 -

Have you been to see a physio? They might be able to help you with exercises you can do to build up your stability and strength.

Hello Everyone. I’m 66 soon to be 67;and at my all time highest weight. I just rejoined MFP. Wish me luck.
My plan for March
Loose 5 lbs by end of month
Go to gym 3 days a week for resistance workouts
Do cardio workouts at home 4 days a week with Total Body Project ... check them out on YouTube.
Get outside ... it’s been a brutal winter here. I’m tired of it alll. Ice, snow, freezing rain.
Track, track, track
Night all.5 -
It took me a while to come up with some fitness/exercise goals for 2019 because my goals were all shattered last year when my husband had a bad accident in March. But here it is!!
Half marathon in January ... Done!!
Gradually build up cycling distance ticking off milestone distances along the way. The goal behind this is to build a solid base for further long distances and events in 2020.
50 km
75 km
100 km
125 km
160 km (100 miles)
Get back to climbing 20+ flights of stairs at least 4 days each week. I work in a 10-storey building, and can climb 10 flights in the morning, and 10 flights in the afternoon ... plus extras if I want.
Walk (or run or hike ... basically move by foot) more than last year.
These are my walking/running/hiking totals for the past few years ... so ... more than 1357.1 km in 2019 would be good. I would add more running event goals, but I'll have to wait and see what happens with my back and hip.- 2018 - 1357.1 km
- 2017 - 1302.52 km
- 2016 - 1133.02 km
- 2015 - 1131.7 km
And build some upper body & core strength + improving flexibility.
I would really like to get on a rowing machine this winter ... I think I'm just going to have to break down and buy one!

Hello!
February came and went and I had the flu so I didn’t do anything. Didn’t gain nor lose which is good.
March
1. Track track track!
2. Get to moving more
3. Plan my meals better
4. Drink more water
5. Organize my files
6. Less spending, more saving
Since the last time I was on here, I had to see another cardiologist and my heart is strong but I have V-tach. I’m taking Metoprolol and no more caffeine! I can have 2 cups of decaf; one in the morning and one in the evening. This totally sucks but I feel better and no more episodes. So I will Obey!!
My mom has been gone for a year. I think of her often also. I haven’t spoke to my DSis since the services down in San Antonio. I am happy my mom is next to my dad down there.
Rebecca Congratulations on paying off your car! Doesn’t it feel good? My RAV4 is 9 years old and I paid it off before I retired. I keep thinking of getting another one but it’s only has 80,000 miles on it. Very low mileage and I’ve never had a problem with it. I always get the scheduled maintenance on it so it will run a long time.
Rori Good choice on The Forester. They are very popular up in Colorado, I remember seeing them all over when I lived there.
Heather So sorry to hear about your friend. Hopefully you can see her again real soon. Hugs!
Good evening my friends! Have a happy weekend!

Janet - hopefully sending sun to your side of the state! We had it again today! Still cold but sunshine was awesome!
Barbie I like your new word also! Pause - we all need to apply it!
Jacque welcome I am just starting too. It’s fun to just read and put the threads together as the gals all post!3 -
Reading....but wanted to update
Aubrey was in surgery from 730 this morning until 430 this evening. The doctors were smiling as the briefed her family. They feel the surgery was successful and she is resting comfortably. Prayers continue but so thankful today's surgery is over.
My aunt moved into a rehab center tonight. Dont know much else. She continues to heal with a great outlook.

Mari- There are lots of chair exercises. Google them. I have just used punches, twists , and toe touches while sitting. Gets heart rate up. Great for arms and waist. Plus some stretching. Great job on the list so far. Walking is also great. If you are only doing 50 steps today, do 51 tomorrow. Stop in often! These ladies are supportive and full of ideas.
Hugs and high fives,

It's World Compliment Day!
"Celebrate the day by giving sincere compliments to at least three people. Think about the things that the people you know do well, and let them know about it!"
Karen - Loved the Shel Silverstein quote!
Kylia - Wow, calling you at 3:50 a.m. to plow snow! I wouldn't be safe to operate machinery at that hour.
Barbie - Thank you for keeping us moving into a new month!
Machka - "Do one thing" is such great advice in so many situations! A lot of us have times when one thing is all we can manage, but in those situations even the tiniest thing is a win.
Jacque - Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you.
Yesterday evening Philip had a client so I needed to be quiet. I was way below my step goal for the day but I didn't feel like walking Luna so I decided to bundle up and drive to the track in our local park. I popped in my earbuds, tuned in the Viking death metal channel on Pandora, and just powered out those steps. Met my step goal and felt like a little bit of a bad-*ss out there.
Philip and I received the replacement for a broken part this afternoon and spent some more time working on the greenhouse. We're nearly there, but we started to lose the light and the final bits looked a little confusing so we decided to finish up when we're fresh. Good thing, too... tonight and tomorrow will be in the mid 40s, then the lows Sunday through Tuesday will be in the mid 20s, then low 40s Wednesday and low of 60 on Thursday. Seems like every winter we have to get one killing freeze in between warm days, just cold enough and long enough to kill everything that's started budding out. But not this year - we should have everything tucked away in the greenhouse by tomorrow night!
You are all beautiful in your own way, and I am so grateful for the way you support me and each other.

I hope you'll keep coming back. It helped me to become part of a community of women who were all looking for a healthier way of life. I read this thread every morning as I eat my breakfast (same thing every morning) and feel encouraged to get out and walk my dogs when I finish eating. I've learned a lot about healthy eating and good exercise. The snow here is finally melting, but I've found a way to get out every day.
Barbie from beautiful NW WA4 -
Apparently March is going to start the same as February.
Tracey in Edmonton5 -
(((Rebecca))): You’re worried about your health. Have you seen a doctor yet? That is a good first step. A sit down bp thingy at the gym is a good way to make the decision to see the doctor, but not good enough for a medical diagnosis.
Betsy in NW WA: Good luck with your legal issue. :flowerforyou:
MariMcKeon: Welcome to a great group of supportive women. Stop by often. :bigsmile:
Machka: Thank you for sharing the March is Brain Injury Awareness Month link.
Tracy in Edmonton: Stay warm!!!
I had a lovely time at yoga this morning, and also burned some calories on an exercise machine. Nothing is on the calendar for tomorrow, but I have a riding lesson on Sunday. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve included my March Resolutions this time and the HALT Stress questions. The months change, but the resolutions stay the same. I keep them because they work for me. Halt Stress steps are helpful in my life, especially with a medically complicated DH.
.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
March 2019 Resolutions
1. Log every bite and swallow. done
2. Cardio exercise at least 3 days a week. Work on strength and stamina. done
3. Have fun every day. Done 90% of days
4. Drink at least 3 glasses of water a day. done
5. Monitor sleep. Average 7 or more hours nightly. done
6. Avoid alcohol. Done 95% of days
Halt Stress :
1. Am I hungry?
2. Am I angry?
3. Am I lonely?
4: Am I tired?
For any yes answer, there are practical ways to help yourself. If I am hungry, I eat. If I am angry I can find a way to address the problem that caused anger. If I’m lonely, I can chat with this wonderful group, or DH, or call a friend. If I’m tired I can rest or sleep. It doesn’t make life perfect, but it sure helps smooth out some bumps.

And build some upper body & core strength + improving flexibility.
I would really like to get on a rowing machine this winter ... I think I'm just going to have to break down and buy one!
As for the other things ...
Work: is a bit of a priority right now because as of the end of November, and opportunity for a bit of advancement came up. Not that I'm moving into a new position, but that I have the opportunity to learn and do a lot more in the area I wanted to learn and do.
Uni: is a continued priority because I finally feel like I'm closing in on my Master's degree. I've been taking one course per semester (including some spring/summer courses) since Feb 2015 and have completed 10 of the 16 courses to get that degree. Along the way I've completed a Grad Certificate (4 courses), and a Grad Diploma (another 4 courses) and the first 2 official Master's Courses. I'm in my 11th course now, so the count down is on. It's been a dream of mine to get a Master's degree since I was in high school.
Home & Life: this is all about my husband's brain injury, and it takes up quite a bit of my time. I am possibly a bit too much like a "mother bear" and I am trying to let go a bit, but then something happens and the mother bear appears again. Anyway, this means I attend all important appointments with him and the first appointments of ongoing issues (like when he goes to physio - I go to the first appointment with a new physio, then he goes to the rest on his own), so it can be rather time consuming.
I'm also trying to organise paperwork. That's probably the simplest way to describe a rather overwhelming task. I've taken over everything my husband did plus I'm trying to get on top of all the paperwork things I've been meaning to do for about the last decade.
Fitness: we're long distance cyclists and are active members in our long distance cycling club. Sometimes the "work" there eases up a bit for a few weeks, and then we have a flurry of activity.
And of course, along with this are the fitness goals above as we move back into long distance cycling after a disastrous last 3/4 of 2018.
Recreation: All the things that fall into recreation (stress relief, creativity, taking time for myself, etc.) are backburner things. Things I squeeze into my schedule if I've got an extra 10 minutes somewhere.
M in Oz4 -
This is a photo from our local newspaper.
"Ours" is the beach in the foreground, a more popular beach, and one I go past each workday, is further away.
We just went for a lovely (and very hot) 3.6 km walk along the beach.
OK ... today, there was some recreation! The walk plus sitting outside in the heat and reading.

morning ladies~
i am up but didnt go the the gym, i work today and will come home and do stuff around the house and get to the gym then.. I am still very frustrated and will have to change things up because I am not losing the weight ,just not.. i started at 210.4- im down to 197.6 and as far down as 195.. but goodness gracious I track everything on both here and carb manager.. and its just nuts .. oh well.. not giving up...
we are getting snow today, and then snow sunday afternoon into monday possibly a foot.. oh swell..2 -
Morning, it's snowing here! Since it is not interrupting my work, I'm glad for it cause I can stay home and clean!
Barbie you gave me a giggle, admitting your word for the year mixup, I just put out a memo at work and did the same thing. I have set up an "On your honor" coffee/tea bar to raise money for our food pantry. Thinking I was so together and organized, I ended with please make checks payable to the "international" food pantry, ummmm, think again, its the interfaith food pantry, well maybe I should have had a cup of coffee and proofread my memo!
This head cold of mine is still draggin' on, and I'm sick of feeling stuffy
NYKAREN7 -
Freddie's was out of gas again today. Heard the alternate route is now covered in snow. Here's the latest video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOaK4KL0w3w
pip Thank you for suggesting that if I wasn't happy with where I was, I should be honest with myself. Realized just how unhappy I am with the shape of my body. I passed up an opportunity to participate in "Wild RiversDance" (done in galoshes and raingear) at our local theater for St. Patrick's Day, because of the way I look. Boot!
My birthday (today) gift to me is a wahoo heart rate monitor. What an eye-opener. Tallied 248 fewer calories burned than the MFP estimates. Unh.
Sharon what sweet memories from a picture of a tricycle!
Karen in VA ditto NYKaren's "lesson learned is breaking it down even more at the start of the assignment..." a valuable life skill to develop.
Heather I had a stuffed up ear for much of February. Drops, breathing essential oil infused steam, nothing helped til the Chiropractor adjusted my neck. Pop! Ahhh I can hear again!
Machka your level of activity is amazing, despite all that's on your plate and your injury.
KJ throwing a hatchet? Yikes! The most I've thrown are plates and ashtrays (remember those?).
Carol, rearranged your containers?!? Joe knows better than to surprise me with "help" before I've had tea. It just never works out the way he hopes. :devil:
Kate that ring is beautiful! What a precious gift.
Viv love the dinnertime smiles. Wish I could join your group!
Margaret bet that High A felt GOOOOOD!
Lanette alas we have no Costco, it was the Conoco gas station that restocked. The slide is not between our house and the nearest town to the south (Brookings) where we shop and buy gas, but between us and the next town to the north (Gold Beach) where I go to church. One posting called that area "portable land" and said its been that way for 60 years (since the US highway was built). Wish some enlightened public official would spend the $$ to have geological engineers find the nearest bedrock for supporting a bridge over the entire area. Just dumping in more gravel and adding yet another layer of asphalt doesn't make sense. Have some lettuce sprouts that just got true leaves. How do I fertilize them? Can I make a tea of the organic fertilizer powder I have?
Tracey "...it's what you do on social media that makes a difference..." Yes! Spot ON! 55 miles? You ROCK!
Rebecca ditto all the BP advice. MY BP goes way up when a machine takes it, but is nicely down when a nurse takes it manually.
Betsy Brava for fighting for what's yours, and for making your 10K step goals 26 times! Forged quitclaims? :NOWAY:
Beth down 2+ pounds? Well done!
Sharon The slide is on US Highway 101, the major route along the S. Oregon coast. The alternate is state "highway" that is gravel in places. The nearest east west route is the horrific highway 199 that joins 101 some miles into California. A Preview of the "Big One" when everything west of I-5 will slide off into the sea?
Karen in VA, First of all, make your appointment with the Social Security office NOW. There was a 60 day waitlist when I called in 2015. Make it even if you plan to work beyond 65. You'll be surprised at how knowledgeable the Social Security folk are. Your state's insurance office may be able to help. Watch the deadlines for signing up for medicare. If you miss it, it costs you big time. There are two Plan Fs, one pays your co-pay but has high premiums, the other has lower premiums but has a high deductible so you pay the co-pay. We chose Thrivent's high deductible Plan F. The premiums were slightly less than AAPR United Healthcare's and even went down one year. You know Plan F is good since "they"'re going to phase it out. We chose the high deductible as we have few chronic issues and it kept the premiums affordable. Now Medicare is pushing "Advantage" plans. As I understand it (not much) they are like HMO plans, low cost, some can include dental, vision, gym, and SilverSneakers. I've chosen to pay more for the flexibility of being able to choose specialist/facility. If anything went seriously wrong, I'd want to be able to go to the best, and not just whoever was "in network". Medicare.gov is the place to start your homework. We chose SIlverScript for PartD rx coverage, least cost for Joe's glaucoma drops and my alondrate is free. Good hunting!
Janet in E. Mo, belated happy birthday to you!
Kay "did not miss a MWF class..." Atta gal!
Barbie Pause and Tenacity
Kylia, thanks be for smiling surgeons. Prayers for your family continue.
Yvonne "Viking death metal channel" LOL! You motor maids ARE Baad@$$
Machka "sitting out side in the heat and reading" Ahh, yes that's the ticket!
Allie con VERY grats for achieving Onederland. Don't give up!

Good morning! Happy Saturday!
Was yesterday a pizza holiday? We were at friends house still helping out. They provided pizza hut pizza. I hadn't had that in years. I pigged out. Oops. Too much salt in one day. Water today! My scale isn't broken, it went up today-lol! I know it is water retention.
Rebecca- just like the other ladies said, get yourself to doctor to get that checked. Good job in using machine, but doctor office more reliable.
I am heading to Cincinnati to watch youngest granddaughter in her competition dance. I am thankful the snow is holding off.
Welcome to the new ladies!
Congratulations to all!
Hugs to all because I love giving them!
Thank you all for being here.
Off to get some work done before work.

My birthday (today) gift to me is a wahoo heart rate monitor. What an eye-opener. Tallied 248 fewer calories burned than the MFP estimates. Unh.
I usually choose the light/low/slow choices with exercise on MFP ... even when I feel like I've gone faster or put in more effort.
