WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2024

Allie - It sounds so horrible for Tracy, but I hope the live twin does very well, and every day that goes by before delivery gives more time to grow.
Annie - Just thinking about you kid. The every waking moment of alertness and attention is wearing, I'm sure.
Machka - You're pushing yourself awfully hard, kiddo, with the move and everything at work, as well. Any word on whether you'll get the position(s) you've interviewed for? Hope the migraine has subsided.
Tracey - When you committed to getting your certificate, you were doing something different to get something more and better than you'd gotten before. That's something to be very, very proud of, dear heart, and totally understand that you're not just thinking about you, but others as well. Oh, and I'm so sorry the Oilers lost! They really did so amazing, coming back from 3-0 to get to the 7th game.
Barbie - How did your meeting at the dentist go?
We've got heavy rain coming in, which we do need the rain part, but hoping the heavy isn't TOO heavy. The weather here just can't seem to help being all or nothing... but the grass was absolutely crunchy when I walked down to get the mail yesterday.
Bad night last night, as either the mushrooms or the pasta got stuck... took a couple hours and finally, a cup of hot tea to get whatever it was dislodged. *Sigh*. It was yummy, but not worth that... either I ate too fast, or didn't chew things down small enough, or both. Annoying. Decided to forgo coffee and stick with tea again this morning. Things are still just a little ouchy.
Some of my tests are in, and my iron and potassium are not just spot on, but improved, which is good. Still waiting on the thyroid and free T3, T4 results. Got a few other highs and lows, but all of them are borderline, nothing ranging terribly far away from normal ranges--and without exception, all of them are better than they were the last time they were tested. If the thyroid comes in as OK, then the fatigue levels are due to the Skyrizi, and it gives me something to talk to my gastroenterologist about on Friday. 🤷🏻♀️ We'll see.
Slept nearly 8 hours last night, even with drinking a cup of tea near bedtime, so am pleased with that. And... I got through 20 minutes of yoga yesterday. Not AT ALL what I wanted to do, but I need it too badly - and I haven't done it since May, mostly just blaming it on the fatigue. So easy to stop, but it's time to get it going again.
Later, my dears,

Migraine is continuing but a bit less than yesterday. Slowly but surely easing up.
The move is stressing me out. Working almost full-time (away from home close to 10 hours a day 3 days one week and 4 days the next, then working from home a full 8 hours one day each week) while trying to move house is feeling like a lot.
My husband is helping but everything is much slower than it used to be. He has great ideas and wants to do this and that, but takes a long, long time to process it all and work out how it needs to be done. For example, he'd like to build a shed for the garden stuff and as a workshop. He can do it ... eventually ... but we're running out of time and he won't be able to do all he wants to do before our time is up here. So I've arranged a storage unit for 6 months for a lot of the stuff downstairs and outside until we've organised everything and have room for it in the house or shed (when it is built).
I plunged ahead with the painting while he was being hesitant. I'm now trying to organise a removalist for the big stuff here and he's being hesitant. I've measured most of the big stuff but need a few more pieces outside and downstairs measured, but he's being hesitant (and it's dark, cold and wet outside so I didn't go out to do it myself this evening).
Meanwhile at work I'm trying to sort out the messiest bunch of data before auditors come along and ask what's going on with it. I'm getting there, but it's slow going and I'm feeling a bit of pressure.
And no, nothing else yet. Right at the moment, I'm taking a little break from applications and interviews because there's nothing to apply for. Thank goodness. I suspect more will come up soon though.
Today I climbed 25 flights of stairs up and 29 flights down.
I walked a bit (but it was raining and cold so it was just shop and mall walking).
I moved quite a few boxes ready to be loaded into the van.
And I did a whole lot of data and database work.
Oh, I also put together a spreadsheet for measurements of the big stuff.

Tracey I know what you mean by 160. I was at 161. Most of high school I was 155 and was not happy with that. I am happy to be in the low 160's now. Turned the corner in the number is not as important as how I feel and if I am having other health issues.Many markers have improved as I slowly lose weight.
Learning more and more how our microbiome is key to our health. Lifestyle and diet are major contributors to a healthy microbiome. I talked with friend last night who is on my same page. She is about my age and healthy. We both commented on how many we know who are starting to fall apart. Drinking, smoking, and junk food seem to be the main culprits. Smoking uses up nutrients your body needs...alcohol and junk food give you little to none of the nutrients you need and contribute to fatty liver.
I still think of the friend who said think of your body as your home. If you neglect or trash your home you see the results. It is true for our bodies too. I remember my sister is the throws of her cancer wishing she could have a new body. She was also the one who would say I will start tomorrow. I also remember her snacking on a bag or Oreos to mitigate her stress. She died at age 59.
I only get one body and it is my responsibility to do right by it.

Allie - I'm unfamiliar with what happens when one of the twins dies in utero. I guess the body resorbs it or puts it in suspended animation of sorts? You haven't mentioned Tracy going in for any procedure. Praying the rest of her pregnancy goes fine.
Rita - thank you again for the info regarding your meals. Are you also tracking them in MFP? I'd be curious what the calories amount to as well as the macros with recommendations from your diabetes prevention program.
This morning I received my calorie and macro recommendation from the Diabetes Prevention coach who is an RD.
She put me at 1500 calories: 80 gm of protein, 44 gm of fats and the rest carbs... over 200 gm which is over twice what I usually eat and I've been successful with slow weight loss over the past few months by just cutting carbs back and adding more healthy fats, so I'm hesitant to start eating more carbs.
I know this is her best guess based on her accepted guidelines and I bet we'll be encouraged to tweak it as time goes on. I'll reset my macro goals a bit (not as drastically as she recommends) and we'll see what happens.
The words of Scarlett O'Hara come to mind, something like this: "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again."

@Lanette, I would take the protein number but sounds almost like my numbers: 1350 calories, 169 grams carbohydrates, 65 protein, and 45 fat. My protein is lower b/c my kidney doc recommended it for me. My diary is open if you want to check the calories of what I’m eating. I do add in my exercise calories, just be aware my total calories may be higher but it is because of the exercises. I did notice that MFP is doubling my walking times, not sure why yet, but need to fix it!

Yesterday’s dinner: tomato sauce with sausage for protein, wontons from Sam’s club, and broccolini
I had 20 grapes, 1 apricot, 5 macadamia nuts and strawberry parfait using a rice cake as the bottom then layers of strawberries and cool whip. DH made me a grill cheese for supper using honey wheat bread and provolone cheese. I had asked for 1 toast with avocado… LOL total calories 1492. the grill cheese put me over. Breakfast was sugar free maple oatmeal, almond milk, and 1/2 banana.

I had a two hour sleep this afternoon, with vivid dreams! I'm sure I needed it. Sleep is the healer. I fell asleep during the lunchtime news and woke myself up with a mighty snort, much to John's amusement.
I'm waking up early in the morning, so getting around five hours in the night. I use the early morning for my exercise time, starting off with the ones I can do in bed and then getting up for the standing ones. I suppose I'm doing 30-40 minutes. So, with the nap time, I'm averaging 7 hours.
At the moment I'm lying on my bed with the fan going, as it's a HOT day. I am not good in the heat. Beautiful sunshine.
Yesterday, at my son's, the girls had a meltdown. Edie especially wanted to go in the sea, as she had spent the day on some camping experience with the school, and had a heat rash. She had a cold shower, but was still itching to get in the sea. Bea followed suit, so there were tears and begging, but to no avail, as my son had just got back from London, was exhausted, and wanted to get everyone settled before the England match on TV. The protest was loud and chaotic.
I think they might ditch the cycling track class they do every Wednesday, and go in the sea today. Far too hot for racing.
My son took us home, though I did offer to get an Uber.
Family life!
I had a bunch of leeks in the fridge, which have been sitting there, so I've softened them down and thawed a ball of pizza dough. Leek, mozzarella, and anchovy pizza! Half a very thin pizza each. It will heat up the kitchen, but we can open the French doors.
I may go out for a walk when it's cooled off a bit. Nothing on TV except football. My Maigret may have recorded. There is also a Michael Palin from 1997 about Patagonia and Chile.
I'm walking up and down stairs with alternate legs. Have to hold on to the banister, but I'm pleased.

WOW where does the time go? I was sick a couple days, out of town a couple days, forgot a couple days, then WHAM I haven't been here in ages. Definitely not my intent!
I'm really doing well in the food department. The Ozempic does make me slightly queasy most days, but definitely has completely changed my appetite and my interest in food. Hubby made french onion dip to have with a small bag of chips with dinner the other night and I had 3 chips! That's all I even wanted. And I love flavored chips and dip! I went out yesterday with a friend and ate 1/4 sandwich and a small bowl of fruit and was stuffed until dinner time.
I also discovered something; I have been afraid of being hungry. That sounds totally stupid, but I used to get migraines and would pass out if I got too hungry, so I started carrying food on me all the time and eating every time I got even somewhat hungry. I no longer have that fear. It's totally irrational, but I never realized it until a couple weeks ago, I was hungry and dinner was in about 2 hours and that was just fine. It dawned on me that I was not worried like I normally would have been. I think it's the Ozempic.
OK back to work with me. Hope you are all doing well. Oh, forgot to mention, our hail claim is now up to $125,000. UGH
Take care, Meg from Omaha where the College World Series is not the only place to find baseball-sized objects: the hail last night was that size! Fortunately, that missed us by about a half mile. GAAAAAA11 -

Margaret - love your posts, so many good points and observations. No matter where we are today with eating and exercise, we can always improve and will see positive results. I can't remember how tall you are - 5'8"?
Ginny - hope the ortho SI treatment works and helps your foot. Nice to get this and the implant (hopefully) finished up before retirement.
Annie - it's neat that your dad is asking what he should be doing. More work for you perhaps but sounds like he's more apt to follow directions and suggestions.
Meg - glad to hear the Ozempic is working. Very nice to have your appetite suppressed and not be hungry! Did the doc who prescribed it give any nutrition/eating recommendations? Like get so much protein & fiber, etc.? Just curious if there's an "after-care" plan once a person loses the weight they needed to. Maybe they reach a natural set point then go off it and resume with low-carb or ?? This is all new to me. WOW on that hail claim! Glad you were missed by the hail this time. My brother in Indiana has had his roof replaced twice in the past decade due to golf ball hail.
Rita - thank you, I'd forgotten your diary was open and I'll check it out. Yes, it does sound like your recommendations are based on the same formula mine are. I haven't added in exercise on the MFP, mainly because I gave it a go a few days ago and that would have had me well over 2000 calories. Too much to wrap my head around at this point. Maybe in the future.
For now, I think I'll keep on my lower-carb path. I'll just make more of an effort to curtail eating, even though it's low-carb, after supper since there are extra calories the body has to put someplace and eating close to bedtime isn't good anyhow. There's another gal in the class with a huge yard and garden and gets plenty of exercise like I do, and she also is familiar with keto and low-carb eating. Curious to see if she makes any comments at next Monday's meeting. She did ask Coach Melanie about Keto during the last class, Melanie said don't subtract the fiber from the carbs yet, maybe something to look at down the line... she kind of intimated using Keto for maintaining? She danced around it a little, lol.
I know for some of my classmates, who live in 55+ retirement communities and have been eating the SAD (Standard American Diet), Melanie's calorie and macro recommendations will be very beneficial. These folks don't have a lot of activity - no big lawns or garden areas to weed, weed-eat and mow. So increasing walking and going to the gym for exercise might be welcome additions for them. And something I'll be doing in the future.
Ladies, we are all different - what works for one person might not work for the next for varied reasons, so I fully support whatever you all are doing and the eating/exercise plans you follow. You are the best judge of what works for you, so keep up the good work.
I started weed eating out front at 8 this morning. Good morning neighbors! Rise and shine, lol. I don't think my little battery operated string trimmer makes a lot of noise. Took a little break for a while, then continued weed eating in the back yard and got out the manual pruning saw and removed some branches that were hard to mow under. Done for now!
Better close. This has run on for hours. Have a great day!

Went out in the cool of the evening for a shuffle around the block. About 17 minutes very slow walk. I was pleased that I got outside on the hottest day of the year so far. The shade was very pleasant.
My pizza topping was a triumph.

Margaret--You have a beautiful voice.
Michele--I understand about your friend. I am still working through my friends passing. We took the bench last Saturday to the rehab center and glad that is done. Still can't believe at times she is gone.
Tracey--Thanks for sharing the song about aging. Sure sounds like I feel a lot of the time.

Lanette I was almost 5 8 I am now 5 7. I was 160 on scale this morning so if I go by 5 7 I am at 25.1 5 8 24.3 so I figure I am essentially in the normal range now. BP is 114/74 now. So quite happy with my progress.
Had a lovely lunch with son. We ate outside on a deck overlooking boat launch to Mississippi River. I had broiled walleye and broccoli. Son have grilled chicken breast and broccoli. He did have a coke and I had coffee with no cream or sugar. We split a piece of bumbleberry pie. We used to have a full piece to ourselves. It is made by a well known bakery in the area and it is filled with blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and minimal sugar. It is one of the few times I will still have a bit of gluten. I still consider it a win. He is listening to me and how important it is to change his diet. Highly processed food is his diet. Unfortunately when he was little he was treated too often with antibiotics because of ear infections. I didn't know better at the time how this could affect him long term.
The lecture I listened to last night did stress it is important not to feel deprived on your diet. One reason variety in whatever diet works for you is important. He also pointed out that one reason sleep is so important is our bodies continue to burn fat while you sleep.
It is important to add fiber gradually especially if you are not used to it. Too much too soon can upset your stomach and then you decide it is not right for you which does not help in the long run.4 -

My visit to the oral surgeon yesterday turned out well. I went with the right attitude and the belief that if other people could navigate this challenge, so could I. My friend drove me to the appointment so I had a friend to talk to who was understanding yet unaffected. Jake is understanding, but also very affected by whatever I'm going through and like most men, wants to fix things rather than just listen. My friend is the one I take every 4-6 weeks to her treatment for macular degeneration. She needs a ride because they dilate her eyes so she can't drive home. She was glad to be able to return the favor by driving me. Everyone at the oral surgeon's office was kind and patient with me. One of the first questions was whether I wanted to be awake or asleep for the extraction. My quick answer was "asleep" but then I had second thoughts about safety and expense and whether I was just being a baby about the whole thing. What I really wanted was to be snatched by surprise with a chloroform cloth over my face and wake up later with the process over. That wasn't a choice. Fortunately, after the doctor explained the process and some special considerations that were specific to my case, he said that the asleep plan would be better for me. It begins with two valium at home followed by an IV during the procedure. My friend will drive me over, wait for me, and take me home after so Jake can stay home with the puppy. It could have been scheduled for next Tuesday but we already had an appointment for an important meeting that we couldn't postpone so it will be on July 9,
Jake is even more tired and more stressed with new chemo drugs that he started this week. It is something he will take indefinitely with blood tests and Zoom meetings with the doctor every four weeks.
Meg, I just listened to a podcast interview with a man who has been taking Ozempic and studying the long term effects of it. He had many positive things to say. I am glad it is working for you.
Allie, I hear you with those sudden big expenses. We have home and auto insurance bills coming up along with the dental bills. We knew about the insurance although it was higher than we had expected but the dental stuff was a big surprise.

Oddly Tracy has been secretive about where they went on vacation, and I told her to send me some pictures of mr munchkin while they are gone.. I did hear from her this morning about Miles being cranky and they have neighbors and its quiet time from 10 pm - 7am ..and he won't sit in the stroller and wants to run around everywhere.
Hmmm don't know but went over and got Ginger out and fed ,poor little girl spends alot of time alone.
I can't have her here,because she is a shedder and with Alfie and Siri it would be Chaos..
Will take her some treats tomorrow..
Doing my best to keep things going..

Up late last night with insomnia- not sure why. Got to sleep a bit before 2AM, awake at 6 am with the cats outside fighting. Went outside and it was the neighbor's cat out again(he is an unfixed inside cat who is beyond CRAZY). He was trying to fight with my cats who were all safe in the catio. I opened the side gate to get him out of our yard and he just walked toward me, snarling and chattering. He got passed me, so I went back to close the gate and he came towards me, had me cornered for a bit- I had big sticks in my hands but that just made him come even closer to me. Finally got around him and got back in the house. The kids are afraid of their own cat and so is the dad. I tried a few times to help get him back to their house. Got my hands tore up the second time- now I let them catch them. They can borrow our trap or towels or what ever but I am not helping catch him any more. They say he doesn't act that way in the house and they know they need to get him fixed-I gave them the number to call for an appointment for the low cost clinic over 6 months ago or longer, they haven't done it yet.
Did doze off and on until about 9 then got up, fed all the cats then went to MIL's to walk her dog.
Wont be walking him again until next Monday- Have Ezie the next two days then two days at mom's.
Zumba tonight followed by a baby shower/happy hour/tacos tonight3 -

Ladies, since I was on last, just a couple weeks ago I can no longer see my home page with the daily updates from people on my friends list. Is this something new? Meg1

Did a 20-40-60 workout on the treadmill then went in the water. I’ve found that I like to go to the gym early, get my cardio in, then I start doing “my” thing in the water and when the water aerobics class starts I join in and then usually leave early so I can get on with my day.
After the gym stopped at a Dollar General to see about the distilled water, only they didn’t have any. However, I did get 3 nylon bones for christmas gifts and they had marshmallows on sale so I got some.
Personally, I really couldn’t care that the newsfeed is gone. I also only use the community and log food.
Called my girlfriend in Switzerland. Soon she’ll probably be in a morphine-induced haze and I wanted to tell her that she’s special and will always have a special place in my heart. I honestly didn’t want to cry but I did. The last thing I said to her was “I love you. Good bye”. It’s interesting, she said “I’ll never forget what you did at my mother’s funeral” and I thought “what did I do” She said “you were the only person who brought something to eat”. To me, isn’t this normal? For me it is, anyway. Guess it didn’t make an impression on me because to me it’s normal.
Been HOT today – 97. The pool was 89. Well I did go in and inept me just HAD to go in the spa to clean it. Life is tough...huh?
It’s really interesting. A few years ago, I would be concerned about how I looked – always had a little makeup on. Ever since I turned 65, Mother Nature and Gravity have ceased being my friend. Today I’m much more happy with my body, even tho it’s not as flat as I would like. Ten years ago I would have been mortified, but not today. I’m feeling more and more that I am what I am and if you don’t like it...don’t look.
Margaret – I’m so sorry about your sister. She was so young when she passed. But you’re right, her lifestyle probably had something to do with it
A friend of ours asked us to go to dinner with her for her hubby’s 50th birthday. This Sat (when they’re going to celebrate) I do not want to leave the mass early since it is the one for my girlfriend. The place they want to go to is about 40 minutes away. I just told her that she has to do what needs to be done, if they need to have dinner at 6, we’ll just have to pass. Not that I’d be brokenhearted, honestly, it’s at a pizza place and I’m not a fan of pizza. I’d probably have a sandwich or a salad if we go, but I could probably make the sandwich at home cheaper. Am I a cheapskate or what? But if they change their plans, we’ll go. At least if we get home late, I don’t have work the next day
I guess one of the things I will miss about not having the newsfeed is that I’d check out people’s diary and sometimes get some good ideas. Oh well…
barbie – I remember when I had to have the tooth removed for the bridge, I couldn’t get over how fast it was done. Before I knew it, the tooth was out. I do hope everything goes well for you.

Hi everyone! I return to work on July 5th. I am glad my foot is better. There is pain, but I do have arthritis. I am trying to work with my foot without the boot. I am waiting for my orthotic. I am so happy because I lost two more pounds! Maybe exercise will help, too. I plan to get in the pool to work out. Today, Rose and I slept. She did have a round of playing ball. After catching six balls in the Mississippi sun, she left me and went to the patio. She told me that I was crazy if she would run all day.
@exermom-, Thank you for the welcome back.
@auntiebk -Do you have someone to care for you? It is hard to recoup alone. I hope you are free of pain.
@SophieRosieMom - thank you for the positive vibes.5 -

I am sorry you had to say good bye but I am sure it meant a lot to her that you took the time to call.
I agree- bringing food after a funeral is the normal to us too. I guess it isn't for my MIL.
When my father in law passed away, my parents came over and of course mom brought food.
Instead of MIL telling my mom "thank you"- instead- her comment was " Why you bring that- You stupid"
I am very used to her telling me I am stupid for buying things for her when I give her gifts.
One time I told her "NO, You say Thank You!" (like I would a 3 yr old.4 -

Consequences.
Call me stupid = get nothing anymore ever.
