WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2013

Hi Vit F people! The last week was torture! The workers came a week ago Monday and left this Monday at 8 pm. We had to move everything out of the bathroom (we were told we wouldn't have to) so it was a huge mess. I've spent the last two days putting things back in place. Did provide me a perfect opportunity to go through everything and get rid of a lot of "stuff"
Tonight I'm no hog duty. The feral hogs have torn up our front side yard . We've been dealing with them since July and can't seem to be up when they come. We have a gun but they are really smart. When we stay up with a large flood light on the back yard, they don't come.
I've been able to read the last three days of posts.
Grandmallie - enjoy your trip to FL. I hope you have good weather.
Joyce - you have had a lot on your plate this month. Prayers for you and your family.
Jen - Hi neighbor! We live sw of Ft Worth but moved here from Duncanville. I think I remember that you're applying for a job. I hope it works out for you.
Heather and Robin -congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughters. They are so much fun.
Katia - safe travels. It sounds like a perfect trade to me. Are you pulling the boat home on a trailer?
Meg - sounds like you're still working too hard.
My shift doesn't end until 1 am but I'm getting tired. My 4 DGKs are coming for the weekend so I really need to get everything finished up tomorrow. I'd like to get my fall decorations out so the house will look festive for them.
I haven't gotten to weigh in this week as I didn't know where my scale was hiding. I feel like I've gained but whatever it is, that will be what it is. There's nothing else I could do this week.
Take care everyone and remember tomorrow is another day.

Best wishes to everyone
Am enjoying the grind at the gym and the yoga on alternate days
Have also added protein shakes to my diet after workouts in the evening. The chocolate in my fridge succeeded in tempting me, but like someone said why did I have it there in the first place........
Greed I guess and overconfident.....

*** Anamika - Having something we really enjoy like the chocolate...can be helpful..because just a bite of it can keep you on the right track...or even knowing you have it will help...unless you are like me and cannot stop at one bite..in that case better to not have it...Take Care!!
*** Suehoward7- Welcome to the group!!!...Take Care!!
There is not much going on my way...except I cannot let myself go outside for a short walk...I am still struggling..also I am so tired..must be a flare up of the Fibro...I get dizzy a lot...but I still try to do my Leslie Sansone exercise..I stand up ...wait a bit till the world stops spinning.....do some exercises....stops the tape.....rest..then try again...I will beat this :grumble: might be a good time to do some exercises lying down....ahhh...unless I fall asleep while lying there.....my life is so interesting...zzzzzz
Hugs to All :flowerforyou:

Can't wait to feel good enough to start walking and playing outside. It is such beautiful weather. I'm going to head out to the cottage and sit out on the deck and watch the lake. It doesn't something like me right now. Hardly moving but moving more.
For those of you in Facebook there's a nice recipe for Pumpkin spice latte. Went out and got a bag of pureed pumpkin out of the freezer. Going to make it for sure. Makes 3 servings but guess I have to put in recipes here to find the calorie content.
I had a good day yesterday and wii told me so. With a nice loss. Now to keep it smiling if wii is smiling so am I. LOL
See you all lighter

ok so I took a lil nap, then went to the dump and they to the vets for food and meds for the boys, cooked the pasta for the mac and cheese, just trying to figure out how to make it creamy and crunchy on the top, so in between that , I am going to go out and mow the back lawns...
then maybe finish packing...0 -

We have a blustery day here today and will be going to the department of motor vehicles to get the boat trailer licensed for the trip home. It hasn’t been out on the road in some time, and the license has expired. I think we’ll leave for home as soon as we get a break in the weather. I had a chat with SIL last night and explained why we wanted the boat and I think she’s feeling better about the trade. I’m happy about that.
Heather: Congratulations on your new granddaughter. Eliza Daisy is a really cute name.:flowerforyou:
Robin: Congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter, Andelane Bailey Roberts. :flowerforyou:
JenninTX: Good luck with the potential job.:flowerforyou:
Poerava: I’ve been missing you. I’m so glad you posted. :bigsmile:
Joyce: Your mother in law is now with the Lord. She was so lucky to have had you in her life. I’m glad the some of the family was able to be there at the end, for her sake and also to reconnect with each other. Hugs to you.:flowerforyou:

Had a good night's sleep last night. Thank you Ambien! Will be a busy day. I live in jeans so I need to go shopping for some regular pants for the next few days. Also I live in tennis shoes. I have an old pair of SASs that I guess I can wear but I need some hose to! Also the cat chewed through my ipad charger last night. I wish she weren't so cute so I could be more mad at her. So I need to get that.
One other thing I need to do is to call Karen again and see if she wants to come over and look through her Moms things and see if there is anything she wants. Maybe it will help her calm down so she can behave herself at he funeral home.
I was surprised I was over my calories yesterday. I guess it was the mashed potatoes at Dennys. I thought it would be the least dangerous side to pick, but I guess not. Plus it had a lot of sodium in it. But it was easy to eat and my body was to exhausted and that's what I wanted. Did you notice that ticker strip shows down 1 pound? That's the only thing I bothered to do, no measurements or blood sugar.0 -
Happy thurs.
Robin.love the pic.Adorable.
Have a good day ,all
hugs

Back home. Really tired, but DGD is gorgeous. It is always a treat to see the wonderful relationship between DH and DGS. It was lovely for DGS to have someone's full attention today. We went to the playground and had a great time.Gave DDIL a chance to sleep.
So happy that the pills are working and DH is back to his old self.
I will put a pic of DGD, Edie, on my profile.
Night night my dear friends. Kept to my calorie allowance as I did a lot of walking.

Grandmallie,
Thank you for your encouragement and congrats on your success. Any tips?0 -
I've read all the private messages of thoughts that have been sent. I'm still busy enough I don't have time to answer all of them. But they are deeply apprecriated and will be treasured. Tomorrow with visitation and the next with the funeral will be busy and hard but I have the continous love of my side of the family that will keep me going. Sometimes just being in the same room with all of his family is so emotionally taxing because that's not what I'm used to. As one said I love them but I just don't like them. So that's the environment I will be in the next two days. I am taking yogurt, water and carrots and put in the refrigerator there. Also my tennis shows so I can change into them when I get a chance. I told Charlie that although I couldn't believe I was saying it I am going to have him put my wheel chair in the car in case I need it. I use it only when I am going somewhere like the zoo and I can't walk a lot.
A good NSV today. I live in jeans and tennis shoes and I wanted something dieffernet for the funeral home. So I went to the mall tomy favorite store and the lady got me a size 14 and 16. I took both into the dressing room but wiht no hesitation started with the size 14. They are a little tight around the hips but the blouse and sweater with it hide that. I don't think I would have liked the 16s.

:flowerforyou: Keep reading and you'll see that there has been a lot of success in weight loss.
Here are some tips.

:flowerforyou: make being healthy your top priority
:flowerforyou: find something other than food for recreation
:flowerforyou: look for every opportunity to be active.

Today was a nice day. I went to work and it was busy which I like and then went to the Y for my walk & bike ride. Yup even on my birthday I went to the Y :noway:
My DD made me a nice dinner, no cake though but I requested no cake. I think I will splurge on Saturday when we go out for dinner. I just spoke with my DS and his GF is going to join us...yay. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better.
Dierdre- 65 lbs and counting since the beginning of the year. It's about taking baby steps and calories in and calories out. Stick around there is a lot of wisdom here in this group.
Joyce - just don't forget to take care of yourself through these trying days.
Congrats to Heather & Robin on the new babies, they are both so darn cute. I am looking forward to being a grandmother but I think I'm going to have to wait for at least a few more years.
Have a good night all & sleep well Sandy from ON 0 -
Sandy.........HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Enjoy your celebration this weekend; glad your son's gf decided to come to your celebration and you all have a great meal and a fabulous time.
Robin.......congrats on your beautiful new grandchild!
Heather ........what a beautiful sweet baby!
Liz...........hope you feel better soon
Joyce.......You have my condolences and I wish you the strength and support you will need to get through the next few stressful days; then try to take a day to rest and regroup.
I went to the farm of the friend who has the riding school for disabled kids; one of my other friends had her dd there for her riding lesson so we met up there. I got to see and feed the new pot belly pig (a real sweetheart) and walked a few horses and fed goats; a real nice few hours. Taco Bell tonight......dh's choice.
Tomorrow am yoga, then help prep for a race Saturday.
G'nite all,
