WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR NOVEMBER 2024

cityjaneLondon

Quite off his own bat, John announced after lunch that he was going upstairs to sort out the cupboard! He produced a whole bin bag of trash, one sweater to donate, and the whole thing looks sooooooo much better! Also spare hangers. I have kept a couple of the big ones, but will take the rest to the charity shop. I think he was inspired by me trashing my cardigan after all this time. I told you he would get round to it!

Lisa, many good thoughts on the craft fairs. Your stuff was great.

Nice chat with L. And with G earlier. G was off to have a roast dinner at her favourite art gallery as a treat to herself. Bravo!

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Lanette thanks for the #1 exercise link. Coach Ken calls these “hip hinges” and they’re a big part of his BB&B routine. Will watch Shrey Vazirs other videos, especially the one about knees.
Rebecca “Pepperidge Farm peppermintified bark cookies” Thanks a lot. ;}
Lisa “…do what I choose, not a whole lot of what I hope a lot of other people want.
And that I still don't like talking to that many people and being cheerful for six straight hours” Good reminders. ((hugs))
Debbie sounds like it was a good show. Hope your DH was reassured about his mother.
Today’s gratitude: rain held off, mostly, for dog group.

42-While looking for my fruitcake recipe (really?!?) I pulled 5 recipes that were duplicates (fudge) or things I don’t make. The “F”s are done… :laugh:

Later, lighter, lovelies!

Lisa ~ The photo of your booth looks great! I'm sorry you were disappointed in the sale but know your family will love the gifts you send.

Debbie ~ Congrats on your sale. Hope your DH was able to find his mom OK but wonder if she deliberately did not answer the phone because y'all were away.

Rebecca ~ Love the doll outfits! Athena will be delighted.

Lanette ~ I tried that exercise shown in the video. I could actually feel my lower back loosening and will try doing it more. I watched until the guy was doing it so quickly and with no effort. Know I will never get there but hope doing it gently will help.

I think so! I had told Athena over the summer about the magical bottles I had as a kid, where the milk disappears! They still make them, so they bought one for her.💖. She also has a really small pack & play playpen thing. It was so funny when she had brought out her baby, and I'm like where are her clothes!?? She's like nah she doesn't have any. We looked thru different sets together and choose one she liked, on my tablet. Then I sent the link to husband saying, "we need to buy this for Athena's doll".

Lisa - sorry the craft show didn't go well. You had so many nice items! I was talking to a neighbor who is a quilter, makes a lot of cute fabric things. She has had a booth at several shows so far, the only one where she did well was at a large well-attended church and it was juried so there weren't a dozen booths with only potholders, lol. Maybe the location and advertising had something to do with it too.

Debbie - glad you did well at your show. Nice you were able to reconnect with friends! Were you folks ever able to get someone to stay/help with MIL? You might have posted and I skipped through. Happens a lot on some days.

Vicki - you've been on my mind a lot. Hoping some avenues are working out for you.

Heather - sorry to hear about the chocolate, of all things. Good job John!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Reminder about the Weekly Check-In.

Weighed today. Well good news is that I am consistant. I have been the same weight for about 5 months now. 241. Before that I was 255 so I am ok that I am slowly going down. In the scheme of life, I am not worried. I have been an obese fairly fit woman all my life. The goal of losing weight isn't my mission. And I know if I was suddenly losing lots of weight, it would put my body in a panic. The foods I eat are a mixture of healthy foods with a splattering of crappy foods. I do know if I eat crappy, I feel crappy. If I ate a big steak, I would be miserable. So its nice to know my limits, and the foods that just make my belly feel so good. Hey if I can't get this eating thing right at 62, then there's something definitely wrong.🙄😂

Did the Abs Diet Ab Workout DVD then Mari Windsor Fat Burning Pilates DVD. Didn’t take my walk around the neighborhood --- maybe later I’ll ride the recumbent bike downstairs. Then went to WalMart.

Made the cornbread muffins for Thanksgiving and put them in the freezer. We put up the arches for christmas yesterday and today we decided which inflatables will go out this year. We actually threw away three inflatables that didn’t work so now we have more room for blowmolds...lol Somehow, Vince just didn’t agree with me….lol

Heather – doesn’t it feel good to get rid of things? Good for you

Lanette and Allie – have a question for you regarding the PF night splint. I’m more and more leaning towards getting one but I have one question that I haven’t seen addressed in any of the reviews. I get up sometimes multiple times/night to go to the bathroom. Can you walk in this and how does it feel when you do. How easy is it to take off and put back on in the dark?

Rebecca – I like your way of looking at food/weight loss. Ever since I turned – oh, about 65 – I can’t seem to get blow 135. Previously I would be in the upper 120’s. And it seems that no matter what I do, what exercise I do, how much I watch what I eat. I just can’t seem to lose the flab in my belly. I do feel that I, too, for the most part eat healthy. Yes, there is a smattering of not-so-healthy food like fudge or a cookie. I’m now getting to the point that there’s nothing I can do it seems, so I’m more and more accepting myself. If someone doesn’t like what they see, they can look away. Previously, when I’d see myself in a mirror like at the Y, I didn’t like the look of a “tummy”. Now I just say “I’m happy with my body and if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to look”

Oh, the other day A at BK gave me some of their Impossible Burgers. They were going to throw them out. I know they weren’t out of date, but they were probably close to their expiration date. I don’t think this is such a big thing since they’ve been frozen. But they don’t want anything near expiration date. So now I have about 10 Impossible Burgers. Maybe I’ll try making baked ziti for Vince and using ½ hamburger and ½ IB. Bet he won’t be able to tell the difference. I may even use ¼ ground beef and ¾ IB. They do taste pretty much like hamburger.

Michele - I think it's Tracey that uses the night splint. I probably should do something but haven't yet. Like maybe tape my toes!

Sorry Lynette. For some reason, I thought it was you.
