WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2013

Well we went to Cracker Barrell for supper tonight. It really bothered DH because it was putting Cracker Barrell 'out of sequence' for the week. I just told him to be strong and he could do it:laugh: But he does like his meals to be in sequence. I had already put my meatloaf portion with green beans and baked sweet potato in the diary like I usually do. I don't like to go into a restaurant without already knowing what I am going to eat. So I get there and they have their special of baked chicken and dressing. OH NO!!! It looked so good. It was just 1/4 chicken breast with dressing with gravy over both. So I went ahead and ordered it:ohwell: I had her put the gravy on the side. If it were like the gravy we have here at home I wouldn't need any gravy nor would I need any gravy on the chicken at all. Well that was before I tried either one of them. The breast was dry and the dressing really needed something on it. So I did put a itsy bit on both. So I am over both on calories and sodium for the day. I did cut out my evening snack though. So it was kind of like when I finally did eat lobster. It may look succulent and good but it doesn't taste that good. So next time my stomach will know not to tempt my brain.

AnneCarolOne.........my dd has terrible, frequent (becoming more so) migraines and she has a script for Singulair as she takes it the night before a race, esp. in the fall because she has exercise induced asthma and reacts to mold spores.......worth a try on a more regular basis!!
wessecg.......If I named anything Bingo, I wouldn't ever be able to get that kids song about Bingo out of my mind.....I do like Gable or Redford, though..........my dd would be glad to exercise your horses, bit of a drive though...
Michele........On your quest for measuring cups, etc.---I see lots of kitchen stuff at estate sales for pennies. Vitamin V, well, it's nurse-speak for Valium, an old term for it dating back to the 70's if not the 60's; I know it's an old drug, but I use it maybe 2-3 times a year, works well for me. On really stressful days we'd say we needed a Valium salt-lick in the med room for the staff.
Anamika.........My foot is still bruised a bit and swelling by night but no real pain, thanks for asking.......yay for your exercise and turning down sweets!!!
Heather........Absolutely inexcusable that the father isn't making arrangements to repair your car right!!! BTW, one of the emergency drs. hit my car the other day, he is picking up the tab, though. (fingers crossed!!!)
Meg..........Hope Benny Beagle is feeling much better and back to normal.
On the cocoa discussion.........why not use real Hershey's Cocoa---only 10 cals/Tble.? Makes excellent hot chocolate and is 100% cacao.
Sylvia...........Sorry your first marriage was so awful; you have come through wonderfully and it's his loss!!!
There was no big drama with the heart attack like in the movies........she was just very sweaty, her color was off-kind of pasty, and she had a pain (which she rated a only 3!!!) from her left shoulder to her wrist.........this is what happens with most of the women who die of MI's , we don't think it's bad enough to "bother" anyone. I did only what any one of you would have done, I'm sure. Gwen is stable, my thanks to everyone for their thoughts and good wishes and prayers. They may move her off the unit tomorrow to a regular room.
Hello to everyone I missed; take care, all,

Hi all. Had a nice day in clinical. I have great students and I love the staff on this floor. I also had a new faculty person who was shadowing me so she did some of the work. Sorry this is brief. I have to take care of 2 more faculty issues so I have to be quick. I don’t know what it is with this semester!
Benny seems to be a bit better today. Only had a couple episodes of diarrhea and no vomiting. DD#2 is better too. Benny had a little accident on his bed, so DH texted me that DD#2 reported Benny had a small “pup” in his bed. I almost choked from laughter. I texted DH and said “OMG if Benny had a pup, he really needs to go to the vet.” I laughed for about an hour.
Sue It does sound like you had a busy weekend!
Barbie: I can’t wait to have fires. It’s not cold enough here yet. Thanks for the good wishes for bEnny
Linda: happy birthday!
Joyce: I love Mexican food so much but haven’t been to a Mexican restaurant since being diagnosed with diabetes. I’m too afraid to eat any of it.
Linda: you will have to post pictures of your baby in all his outfits!
Heather: I adore flowers! What a nice birthday present!
Grandmallie: wow great nsv!
Suzy: you did get a lot accomplished
Sandy: hope that migraine goes away soon. Have you ever tried sumatriptin? It’s an injection. The excedrin could be created
with the same amount of Tylenol and some caffeine supplements.
Sylvia: that’s a great compromise!
Yanniejannie: glad your friend is doing so much better.
Well I have to start making phone calls. I have one faculty who had a death in the family and the one who smokes never finished her compliance work for another facility and I got an email saying she couldn’t’ come to clinical again until it’s done and she goes again Thursday. Ugh . OK take care everyone. Meg from Omaha0 -
I have set new goals to the end of November. I love what BarbieCat said to me about "every day is a new beginning." Setting goals every day helps me. But if we're talking monthly, I figure I'll set some now and keep at these to the end of November:
1) Reduce to 3 structured aerobics classes per week, followed by epsom salts and arnica homeopathy after each (I realize I have been over exercising and really have to try to get the pain down -- I don't drive a car so I walk a LOT aside from exercise classes... will reassess at the end of November);
2) check out a yoga class and a massage session (ideally do something like these once per week on Friday afternoon);
3) eat 7 servings of fruit and veg per day (will I ever like them?);
4) record the water (easy to think we're getting enough when we've been at this MFP for years, but marking it down can yield surprising results!); and
5) get back on track with loyal daily tracking!
I love this 50 plus group and hope to keep checking in more often
Cheers,
Melody

Well today is day two of logging and drinking my water. So far so good.
Melody - you are right, the Bay of Fundy is beautiful.We visited there when we toured Canada. I like your goals, keep at it.
I've been reading a few pages tonight but realize I won't be able to catch up so I'll go from here.
Meg - hope your puppy is doing better.
Grandmallie = great NSV for you and congratulations on not gaining while on vacation.
Tomorrow is another opportunity to have a good day.
Sue in TX0 -
Hi Everyone,
Meg-So glad Benny is better, and congrats on his little ''pup'', lol!!!
Sylvia-Sorry you went through that horrible first marriage, but am happy you found your prince!
I dug out my jeans for first time in a while. I normally wear yoga style pants since I am at the gym a lot and spend my day working with animals. Well, I put them on, and they were waaay too big. I was shocked! My ticker thingy says I lost 6 pounds, but I haven't weighed myself in a bit because I hate the scale. I guess I lost some more!
Please keep your fingers crossed for my father-in-law. His arm broke very suddenly today, and now they are suspecting bone cancer. For those of you who pray, he could use a few. Trying to stay optimistic...
Hope you all have a great week. Drink that water!
Critter Sue0 -
Girls, I had some big fun tonight! I popped in on a ceramic workshop to see some of my potter friends who have not seen me since Christmas when I was at my top weight. When I walked in there was actually screaming and squealing, and gushing about how SKINNY I am! When we left Bill told me that I'm actually almost the same size as one particular friend, who I always think of being really healthy sized. So it's happening! It's really happening!
Sylvia0 -
Suzy in DE - I'm short, too. I always buy my pants in the petite department. I usually don't have to hem them up if I get petites or sometimes pants will be "short, average, long" and I get the short. I'm another one who is blessed with large calves. I got a pair of Totes Waterproof boots years ago at Boscov's and I still have them. They don't come high up so I can wear them. Now that we're here in NC, even tho one of the pulls for a zipper broke off, I'm not going to bother to replace them unless I can get a pair on really good sale. I don't wear boots much here at all. I guess in the last 5 years I've probably worn them a handful of times, maybe even less.
Sandy - I don't know that I would say that the deep water class is more of a workout. However, there is zero impact. You can have a bit of impact in the shallow end but since you aren't touching the bottom, there isn't any impact.
Went to exercise, took the donations to the soup kitchen, then Vince and I went to the post office (I went to the ATM since it's next door), then to WalMart. Decided to stop at Sam's since we were right there. Found some lights that might work for Halloween next year. I asked Vince how he was doing on the milk and he said fine. Now I see that we really should have gotten another gallon. Looks like I'll be back there. Then I finished up stringing the popcorn. I think I have enough for the tree. Tonight I go to a friend's house and we play mahjongg. I'm going to ask if she'd like to play at my house next week since the Halloween decorations are up. One lady who comes leaves early (she lives right up the street) to watch "Bones". She can watch at my house.
Sylvia - I can't believe that jerk of a hubby -- if you can call him that. I'm so happy things worked out for you, you deserve it. Oh, I can hear the excitement in your post. Sure makes one feel good, huh? What an incentive
yanniejannie - if you use plain Hershey's cocoa, wouldn't it be on the bitter side? Glad to hear your friend is doing better. She's very lucky you were there.
meg - I'd be laughing hysterically if one of our cats had a "kitten"
suebdew - the start of a mile is taking the first step, and you're doing just that. Good for you
crittersue - prayers for your FIL. What a wonderful discovery!

Read a face book post today from a Mom who is home schooling her kids. She has been putting up perks of home schooling. Today was having fun with math. She has a 9th and 5th grader. She is on a diet. Using fractions they are figuring up in fractions the ratio to how many ounces of water Mom is drinking to the many times a day she goes to the bathroom.! I would love to see that written up as a word problem in a public school textbook!
Joyce0 -
:flowerforyou: It was a wonderful day that included lots of dog walking, a 90 minute nap with the whole family in the king sized bed, making a big pot of pumpkin apple soup, doing a newly revised strength training routine and spending time with friends.
:flowerforyou: Melody, each day Is a new beginning, but I make resolutions for a month at a time and if I falter, I make a fresh start the next day. You have some awesome and sensible and personal goals
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Sylvia, how great that people called you “skinny”

Liz fr Halifax NS0 -
:flowerforyou: I got to sleep little later because I have no early meetings or classes..:bigsmile: it is very very foggy outside so the moon was not visible when I walked the dogs for their "business" walk. Jake is building a fire in the fireplace (the outside temperature is 38 degrees) and in a few minutes the dogs and I will head outside for our two hour walk.
:flowerforyou: Liz, my husband has a history of telling me that I can't do something because it's unsafe or too hard and I thank him for his concern and do it anyway.....he used to tell me that I shouldn't walk the dogs so early and little by little I've gone out earlier and earlier and he's gotten used to it....just thank your hubby for his concern and be sure to not let on if the work or exercise is hard for you and he'll get used to it.
:flowerforyou: Today is a good day to act the way you want to feel and refuse to take things personally.....and get off the couch and get active. Barbie from foggy NW Washington

Barbie - love the waggly ears on your rabbit!
Liz- our family is always such a worry. I hope all your GK's troubles get sorted.:flowerforyou:
Felt tired and lacking in energy this morning. It is so dark and wet at the moment, but I went to yoga and got through it somehow. Then some of us and the teacher went to the pub for a coffee and had a lovely girly natter about all our troubles and I felt so much better! Will make a start on the tax return this pm - I know it is preying on my mind, but once I get going it doesn't take long. I'm still waiting to hear about my rental window and the neighbour hasn't been round yet about the car, tho DH says he's coming this evening. It really is none of my business, thank goodness, but it's keeping me awake at night. All very small problems in the great scheme of things!:huh:
No sign of my lb dropping. Bother!:noway:
Have bought my Christmas cards (!) and one or two small stocking filler type presents. DH and I give each other stockings on Christmas morning with a few small things in, but it takes time to find suitable things. Thank goodness for Amazon, but I am starting early! This year, because my my son's family are all coming for Christmas Day I am going to treat myself to something I have wanted for a while - some lovely red silk flowers. I think I have decided on a growing amyrillis but I could go for the red roses. Not cheap, but I can use it every year. Last year the flowers I bought died because I put them near a radiator! These look very real. My DDIL has got one in her office and it was ages before she realised it was fake! !
Love to all. Keep well and I hope all headaches and pains are shortlived.
Heather UK0 -
Today is my day to go to yoga and take the skinny jeans back to the store. I’m looking forward to both. I’m taking my boots along so I can try whatever pants on with them. If they don’t work, they don’t come home with me. If they’re not comfortable, they also don’t come home with me. I’m an “old woman” and nobody can make me be fashionable if I don’t want to. :laugh: So there!
JaneMartin: I hope the pain continues to diminish. And you feel great soon.:flowerforyou:
Sylvia: I’ve been an audio-bookaholic for years. I had to commute an hour each way, and the audio books kept me sane. It didn’t matter if I got stuck in a traffic jam, I’d call work or home to let them know what was happening and settle in with my book. Now that I’m retired I sometimes listen while walking the dog and still listen if I’m driving and DH isn’t with me. I also listen while knitting or crocheting.:bigsmile:
Joyce: I’m sorry your chicken dinner was a disappointment. Your husband’s being unhappy that his meals were out of sequence made me smile. I hope he enjoyed his dinner anyway.:flowerforyou:
Yanniejannie: My parents were Vitamin V-a-holics for while. Dad would take valium and drink alcohol before driving. :noway: He never had an accident, thank the Lord. He had a stress filled life back then. MIL took Librium. That stuff was nasty and she was often in her own little world. When I was in college I was having pain problems and the University heath clinic doctor prescribed it for me. NASTY stuff. :mad: I never took a second dose. A roomie I had at the time correctly diagnosed my problem as lactose intolerance. I quit milk products, and my symptoms all went away. :bigsmile: It is good to know your friend is doing well and will be moving to a regular room soon.:flowerforyou:
Meg: I loved the story about Benny Beagle’s “pup.” Thanks for sharing. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Melody: Welcome to the group. I hope you will enjoy yoga as much as I do. The more yoga I do, the more I realize how helpful it is.:flowerforyou:
Sylvia: I’m so happy for your good experience visiting your pottery friends. Your ticker tells an amazing story of success all by itself, but it really feels good when friends notice how well you’re doing. Congratulations!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Critter Sue: Prayers for your FIL. I hope things go well for him. Congratulations on the too big jeans. Great NSV.:flowerforyou:
Grandmallie: The weight comes off when it comes off. As the Plateau Queen, I know that well. You’re doing great. Drinking enough water usually helps me wash a pound away. Eventually.
Liz: I’m happy your DGS had a meltdown in school and they were able to put a stop to the wicked stepmother visits. What is the matter with their father? Maybe he’s like a cowbird that lays eggs in other bird’s nests and never actually raises the chicks. (No personal connection or responsibility.) :grumble:

October goals:

2. Move more.
3. Drink at least 4 glasses of water daily0 -
Quick note for Michele............on the Hersheys cocoa---the directions for one cup cocoa are on the back (I don't add the salt or the vanilla).........the beauty of it (for me,anyway) is: 1. That it is 100% pure dark chocolate. 2 You get to add as much or as little sugar as you want, depending on your own personal taste. I use just a t. of real sugar, but you could use stevia or an artificial sweetner; I imagine you could even add honey for sweetness after it's made (although that option would not appeal to me). I use skim milk; but that would be open to other types too. Sometimes I add a drop or two of flavorings: almond, mint, orange, etc. whatever I'm in the mood for. This is found with the baking stuff in my store; a container, dark brown with "Hershey's Cocoa" on the front in gray (or maybe they were aiming for silver, lol), about 4" high, 8 oz., also says 100% cacao and "natural unsweetened". 10 calories /Tble.
When I make it, I don't follow their procedure exactly...........I put the sugar-- 1 t., and cocoa--2 T.,....... in the mug and add a little milk, stir until smooth, then add the rest of milk and stir again,,,,,,,,,,,then I microwave it..........2 min. in mine....and add any flavorings, stir , and drink.
Off to the hosp. BBL.

:flowerforyou: Thanks Barbie for your encouragement to get off the couch and get active.
I did go to Jazzercise at 6:15 AM. Talk about dripping sweat! I will have to figure out which classes I want to attend, the early morning or after work. For either ones I am tired, but what else in terms of available time is there working full-time. So I must continue to bite the bullet, if I want to get my workouts in.
It has been very foggy here every morning. Today the sun is burning it off, so it should get nice by lunch time. This afternoon I will walk to an appointment and back, about 20 minutes each way; so a bit more activity. My back continues to bother me, so I should make a dr. appointment to have it diagnosed.
Liz fr Halifax NS - I am so sorry about the issue with your grandchildren. I can identify and it is heartbreaking.
Have a great day! Renny

Marking my place. I've been MIA for a week. Maybe I can catch up later.0

Just caught up to page 5. Not sure if I will have time to catch up more than that. Maybe tomorrow. Sorry I can't respond to each of you, too busy! This is my last week at work here in Cookeville. Next week is pack the truck and move week so I probably won't be on at all! I have to do 2 weeks of school work in one, then at least I have a week off of that. :yawn: so tired of all this stress!!!:ohwell:
Well off to do more "stuff"!

This morning was a little scary. I got a call from my son saying my sweet little granddaughter (age 7) was at the emergency room. She had a seizure at school. She was asking for me to come, so I did. They did a cat scan and xrays which were normal and a lot of blood work. They want to take more blood tomorrow after fasting, to check for diabetes. Poor baby has never had blood drawn before and of course it hurt her. She had been in the cafeteria for breakfast and fell with her arm down between the metal rails where they slide the trays, so her arm was bruised. They xrayed it and it wasn't broken. A teacher grabbed her and laid her down on the floor, and they called my son. They live right across the street so were there pretty quickly. By the time they got there she was OK, but they went to the ER just to be safe. She was feeling so much better the nurses were calling her Chatty Cathy. She said she was awake and heard everything, but couldn't respond. That must have been scary for her. She's not had any seizures before, so hopefully it turns out to be nothing.
While son waited for test results, I went to take the little guy (age 4) to his preschool. That was a lot of fun. He is a real jabberbox. He loves going to school, so I'm glad he didn't have to miss because his sister was sick.
When I was leaving the hospital my son actually hugged me! It was the first time in over 6 years that he's hugged me. I cried all the way to the car.
My other job is freelance drafting, working for a local company, and they haven't sent me work in almost three months and today they sent me four jobs. Glad to have the work, but I had to choose between drafting and going to the hospital. Guess which one I chose. The drafting can wait.
Well, I'm off to the gym. Have a great evening.
Sylvia0 -
I had my first session with Reneee the manager of the wellness center at the Y. She is starting me off slow, I appreciate that. basically what she started me out doing is at home exercises with my 3 pound weight, I really need to go to Walmart and get me a second one. There are about 6 different things I do with my arms. Then she gave me a whole bunch of stretching exercises. I have to admit I have never done any stretching at all. When I am ready in a couple of weeks she will start me on some of the machines. I think she is assuming I am going to the beginners strength training group. So I really need to do that. I have been waking up earlier in the day lately so I may join the group that meets 3 days a week. Then I went to CJ Banks. I don't know if that is just a regional store or not but it is a womens fashion. There is CJ for the plus size woman and then Christopher Banks for the regular sized woman. I hope some day to just be able to go next door. I bought a lot of MIL clothes there and the staff at the NH always said she was the best dressed woman there. Today everything in the store was the last day it was 40% off. I have been eyeing this tapestry vest that has multiple colors in it . I already have a top from there that is one of the colors so I bought 2 more and also I nice Henly style tshirt.. Total bill was $80. I had already 'shopped' on line so I knew immediately what I wanted. They had some khaki pants that would have matched the vest and tops but that my be pushing it to much for this jeans and t shirt woman!:laugh:
Even though it is cool outside the sun is wonderful.
Rita, that is some special doctor you have that would personally call you
Joyce0 -
Popping in to say thus far I am keeping up with activity goals for the month. Today I stopped in the park to play in the playground and oh yes, I did slide down that slide. Sometimes it is good to not act our age. I actually got the idea to play from a blog here on MFP. It was listing exercises you can do on the playground. Didn't mention sliding but when you turn a year older you want to see if you still got it. Picture is my baby grandson; just in time to bake me a birthday cake.
Life is good! God is good! and I sure hope you are enjoying yours :bigsmile:0 -
Slyvia.how scary.Hope everything checks out ok.
Hubby took me to lunch,to a buffet,did ok,no desserts and fresh fruit instead.Had a shrimp stirfry.
We had snow,can`t believe it.It was coming down,but melted right away.
I want our fall 60`s weather back.
Have a good night.
Hope to check in tomorrow,son`s computer was acting up.

Howdy howdy! Well my piece of good news is that I lost 2.2 pounds this morning when I weighed in. That started my day off well. I taught for 4 hours straight…..boy that’s a long time. I end up exhausted afterwards! Spent the rest of the day grading stuff and taking care of little pieces of this and that. Tomorrow will be a good day because I’m not teaching so I have the whole day in my office.
I wish I could figure out why my blood sugars are so much higher the last 2 weeks. I’m not exercising quite as much as before, but that shouldn’t make that much difference; at least I don’t think so. Maybe time to investigate more medications or increasing this one. I need to get back into my good exercise routine; it’s hard when my schedule changes. It always takes me a week or
two to figure out a new routine.
Benny beagle is much better today, so I think that’s all over with!
Melody: you have some great goals! They are very reasonable.
Sue you are so right; tomorrow is always another day and the opportunity for a fresh start
Crittersue: what a great nsv! Congratulations! So Sorry about FIL…I’ll be sending prayers for him and your family
Sylvia: wowowowowowowwow what a great nsv!!! Sending prayers for your GD and family!
Michele: your milk dilemma is why I make everyone make lists! I do not make extra trips. Otherwise I’d be going to the store daily. Everyone only has had to go without once and they never forget the list!
Joyce: now that’s some practical math!
Barbie: ooooh a 90 minute nap sounds delightful!
Grandmallie: oh my I hope that foot doesn’t start bothering you again
Liz: oh you poor little GS. How sad that a grown woman acts that way. It’s unconscionable . Sending prayers for their situation,
Heather: omg I love that expression….a girly natter! That is fabulous. I’m going to start using it. That describes it to a T!
Katla: the fashion fighter! I love it. I can see you in the store yelling “You can’t make me fashionable!” while you are being chased by sales ladies carrying stiletto heels!
Janemartin: we may be having sleet tomorrow!
Renny: I admire people who can get to exercise classes that early. I already get up between 4:30 and 5 to go to work. I do well with exercise classes that are right after work, but if I go home and have to go out I’m sunk. I am going to try a water aerobics class at 7 on Monday evenings. We have leftovers on Mondays so it will be easy to eat early enough to go. I didn’t go yesterday though.
Rita; good luck on your new adventure!
Texasgal: hooray for not acting your age and having fun!
Well DD#2 is cooking a great buttermilk broccoli soup for dinner. We’ll have a pumpernickel bread with it but somehow we are out of lettuce so no salad tonight! Tomorrow we are supposed to have the carpet installed downstairs. I sure hope they come. We have all sorts of stuff in the gym so I can’t even get to the elliptical. Even worse trying to get to the bowflex.
OK I’m outta here! Take care and enjoy the rest of the evening. Meg from Omaha where it is getting cooler by the day.0 -
Meg, has your stress level been up knowing it was time to get back to school with the students again? I know as a student mine was but I don't know how my instructors felt!!:laugh: Anyway, that could make your blood sugars go up.
