WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2019

exermom

Did Denise austin’s Boot Camp DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Functional Intensity Training DVD.

Terri – I remember a long time ago my FIL saying “now that I’m retired, I don’t know where I found the time to work”. At the time I thought “yea, right”. Now that I’m retired, I know what he meant!

Pete’s birthday was Mon so we gave him a call. He was talking about how a neighbor gave him this some type of blender and he wants to make all organic baby food just like his grandmother did. Denise isn’t the type to make baby food. She doesn’t even use the IP that I gave her! And she’s going to make baby food??? I know they sell organic baby food in jars, she’ll probably wind up buying that.

M – what a transformation!!! Thanks for sharing

I have a calendar and I mark on it what exercise I’m planning to do each day during the week. Sometimes I have to change because something came up and that’s OK.

Lisa – good for you setting a time for exercise. I usually do the same thing. 6:00 to about 7 is “my” time. You’re so right that exercising is addictive. For some reason, my upper thighs and hips are extra tight. Maybe I didn’t stretch them enough yesterday. Anyway, it would have been SO so easy to just baby this but I went and exercised. Yes, I couldn’t do the aerobic parts as high or as quick, but I did SOMETHING. When I sit at the computer and then go to get up, boy do I feel like an old lady. But as I’m moving around, it’s still sore but not nearly as much

M – it’s always been said (and it’s true) that if you want to look 5lbs thinner instantly (I think 5lbs is a bit of an exaggeration, but you do look thinner) you should stand up straight.

I can’t seem to figure out how to copy just one item in a meal, just the whole meal. Is there a way?

They need help at the Green Room so I’ll go there for a bit even tho I’ll be there tomorrow. Got dinner all ready to microwave because as soon as I get back from the Green Room, I want to go in the pool. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s today. Crazy. Ceramics tonight Update on ceramics: they don't have enough of one color that I need so I'm going to buy it. Saturday it's supposed to be in the 70's

Pip – lookin good. Thanks for the before and after pics

Dandl – I’m excited for you

Allie – good for you getting the shingles shot. Interesting….I didn’t have any kind of reaction. Not sleepy, achey, or anything. So sorry for your friend

Look at Heather!!!!

Hi Gals,

Lisa – thanks!

SuziQ – the trick for me was lots of counseling, and tears.

Beth – if parents and the schools knew they would be pissed, but I’m going to hope to lessen the blow.

Rita – hugs!!!!!!!!!!!! The poem is right, you did the hardest and bravest thing.

Debby – hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have value here. You could give everyone a wake up call by leaving a note and coming to visit one of us for a long weekend. I’m in California and have a guest room all ready.

Heather – Happy Happy Birthday!!! You look great!

Hi all!
Yes, it's been my 70th birthday today. Wonderful day.
Too tired to talk much. But I promised I would post a photo.
I was serenaded by the waiters.

Sleep is beckoning.
Love Heather UK XXXXXX

Happy Birthday!!

Heather Happy Birthday. You look amazing

All who have shared information about themselves Thank you so much!! I will also check out the ones in the May group comments! It always amazes me how many of us share similar stories, including abuse. It is always a blessing to share with other women!

Welcome Newbies!

...and I forgot to wish Heather a very happy birthday! I wish I could look so good on my 70th!!

...and Debby I meant to mention I have gotten counseling off and on over the years. The best has been most recently at the company running our local women's shelter. They specialize in rape and domestic violence and have offered tremendous help to me (my original abuse was during early childhood).

📙October Goals Progress Update
— Wednesday, 2nd Oct.
✖️1. Lose weight.
✔️2. Track every bite in MFP and complete the entry daily.
✔️3. Participate daily in a 30-Day Digital Detox Program.

• Overall Feeling. Proud to have 2 good days for October.
• Lose weight. No. gained about 2 lbs - retained fluid - missed my BP med.
• MFP - completed entry. Yes. Cal.1006, Carbs 15g. Fiber 6g. Water 60oz.
• Digital Detox Day 2 did really good. My task today was to not use a device while in the company of any other person.
• Bright Spot today. Sibling group text. My oldest sister couldn’t figure out how she registered so many steps on her Fitbit today. Then she realized she had spent a good part of the day in her rocking chair. She said she ROCKED THOSE STEPS! One of my brothers told her “you rock!”. 😁
• Today I’m grateful for:
1. Mama remembering to use the Theraworx spray on her leg cramp today.
2. Noticing the emergency flashers were turned on the tractor tonight. The little goats probably jumped up there and managed to switch them on. Got them turned off so the battery wouldn't die overnight. Handyman has been working to repair/replace fencing.
3. Screen time tracker on my iPad.
4. A husband who cooks.
5. Naproxen.

Heather - I hope you have a fantastic Birthday

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I'm typing on my phone, so posts are a bit short, but I am following all your updates.
I feel absolutely knackered today. Probably all the excitement of yesterday!!!
There was a bottle of champagne in the cabin with chocolates, all from the Captain. Then my lovely sister in law sent chocolates to the ship as a surprise gift I did not know you could do that.
I was worried the dress wouldn't fit as I have put on weight since I bought it, but I squeezed into it - just!
DH had ordered champagne for the table, so after the special reception for long time cruisers (I felt it was just for me!) we went to the restaurant, but they hadn't got the order. Grrrr! A lot of confusion and delay, but in the end we got the champagne for free!!!!!!!
Then the waiters brought their instruments and sang me Filipino Happy Birthday. With a small cake.
All great fun.
Earlier we had gone in a coach over THE BRIDGE to Sweden. Malmo has a pretty centre and I spoke Swedish.!!!!! We bought a locally made jug - beautiful.
By the way, the dress was dirt cheap from Amazon, as was the tiara. It was just for fun. The only time I will wear it again is perhaps for Pride, when I can compete with the drag queens.
Today we are in Aalborg with a mediaeval centre. I am taking it easy.

Much love to you all, Heather UK XXXXXX

Busy morning today, just taken our cat to the vet for dental work, now taking mum to the docs for a blood test, then going to put flowers on dad and hubby's graves at the cemetery. Need to stop off at the pet shop too.
