WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR NOVEMBER 2013

Do you think this is terrible to do? I made these brownies, but the original recipe called for quite a few eggs. I know Vince likes his brownies chewy, not cakey. So I thought I'd decrease the eggs so that they were chewy. Well...it turns out that they became crumbly. They have good flavor, just crumbly. Vince has this idea that crumbly means dry. I had one yesterday, and they aren't dry, they're just crumbly. I have a feeling that Vince won't eat them so perhaps when I go to volunteer at the Green Room next, I'll take them to the soup kitchen. Then again, I've taken cakes/breads that have stuck to the pan to them.
Vince told me last night that there's a concert he really wants to go to Tues. Tues is the night of Mexican Train. Well, I'm going to look on the bright side, by not going I won't have to make something to take with me. I was also going to make a cake for the hubby of the lady who always has it since his birthday is Wed. That's another thing that I won't have to make.
Sylvia - you really didn't go over by all that much. Don't be so hard on yourself, just get back to your good eating habits asap. I think we all have those times when we fall down. Lately I've been having too many of those days.
anamika - hope you do try the HIIT. But let me tell you, the first time I tried it, I thought I'd die, literally. I think I did 15 minutes and was sure that I was going to die. But I've built up my endurance, and now I can do it for an hour. But don't be disappointed if the first time you are lucky to get in 15 minutes. I like to do it on the elliptical since there isn't any time lag going from recovery to sprinting. On the treadmill, there's a bit of a lag while the treadmill gets up to the speed you need it at. To lose, you don't necessarily need to increase the amount of time that you exercise. Actually, sometimes it's good for the body for you to do it for shorter periods of time but at at higher intensity. You can (and should) change the frequency, how long your workouts are, the type of exercise (acronym FITT stands for frequency, intensity, time and type). Remember not to just do cardio but also strength training. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying not to do cardio. Absolutely do cardio, you can maybe do those on the rest days for your muscles. But also do strength training. Good luck! What are fairy lights? How do they differ from regular lights?
The candy we had leftover, Vince says he'll eati it so I put the bowl of candy in his office. Out of sight, out of mind
tazgirl - what part of NC will you be in and for how long? You know, I have a box of the disposable pastry bags, just stupid me never thought of using them. I even have a #10 tip. Not sure if that's a Wilton or not. I know when I was taking a cake decorating class, we bought some tips that were from another company. This one, however, has a big opening. I'm going to try that next time.
Heather - congrats on the loss. A friend of mine got the first few episodes of Downtown Abbey. It won't be in the US until early in January.
Peggy - welcome! Everyone is always welcome.
jb - you never cease to amaze me!
Sue in SD - how horrible for your daughter! I do hope she is able to get some of the things back, at least the ones that mean something special to her
Joyce - deepest sympathies. When I have to go for my colonoscopy, I do hope I don't have to stay away from fruits and veges for a full week before the test. That would be horrible!
CJ - what is the Shred Revolution Diet? Welcome!
Sylvia - when I would wake up, my hand felt like this prickly feeling and this usually lasted sometimes a few hours. Then I was listening to this Taichi instructor. She was saying that upon awakening, I should clap my hands. Something about how it stimulates something or other. Anyway, I figured -- "well, what can it hurt?" so I did that. Do you know that in a few days, the prickly sensation went away? when I would hold the weights in the water, sometimes it felt like my hands would be numb. After clapping each morning, this hasn't happened. Give it a try. Like I said, it can't hurt, huh? What's the worst that can happen? Nothing? Then you're no worse off than you were.
Deb - of course you can join in! Welcome, tell us more about yourself
kwantien - welcome!
Went to yoga this a.m., then to Aldi, I needed to get bleanch for the pool and I saw yesterday where they had these sweet potato tortilla chips on sale, so I thought I'd get some for Thansgiving and for when I host Rummikub in Jan. They were almost sold out! Then Vince and I worked some more on closing the pool. We'll probably finish up tomorrow.
Well, I didn't do so well with Ken & Lynette here. I wanted to try some of the brownies to see how they came out. Actually, they were pretty good. Also wanted to try some of the pumpkin muffins. I'm going to give the rest of them away. Oh well.....I'm really going to have to get back on the wagon. Lynette was asking me about Bryan. It still hurts. I heard from him only a short email wishing us a happy anniversary, and I know that they only reason he sent it was because Denise reminded him, not because he cares. He still hasn't told us his address.
Michele in NC0 -
Michele I would think that crumbly brownies would go wonderful over ice cream at the food kitchen. Just an idea
Joyce, Indiana0 -
Wow Anamika, what a lovely post! Happy Diwali and blessings to you, too!
Tuili- Welcome aboard! I know that if you have any query, someone on this thread will know the answer! And they're kind, thoughtful and intelligent as well!
Sandy- You did great with your weight loss in Oct. I was really seeing great results up till the 19th, then I let things fall apart. Hopefully I will lose what I gained so quickly..grrrrr.
jb- Loved your associations...read like poetry!
Michelle- keep those brownie crumbles away from me! I wouldn't have any problem downing them!!
Well, my Dad's Parkinsons is rearing its ugly head. He has periods of status quo, then will exhibit a new debilitating symptom. He has been having trouble with his legs...no strength, very weak. Then they became painful. That is intermittent but he experiences those symptoms on a daily basis. It is so difficult for him to move his body and he is so stiff. I encourage him to walk ...keep walking. Only 2 minutes on the treadmill yesterday and he tries so hard...shuffling.
Now, he is having trouble swallowing. Coughing. He's coughing now and it's 1 a.m....I can hear him. Poor old fellow. I told him on Monday I will call the doctor and see in we can get an order for an electric bed so he can sleep with his upper body elevated. If he gets worse with this coughing business, I will take him in to see the doctor, I know he has a "slow esophagus". He sleeps with a foam wedge and pillow. I took his temperature bc I was worried he might be sick, but no fever. I read where aspiration pneumonia is a common affliction with Parkinsons. I give him many pureed foods, so tomorrow I will make sure he doesn't have any bulky stuff. I worry about him.
I know that when I leave town and my brother takes over, he is impatient and gets flustered. I told my Dad I will write out all the little routines that Bill will have to follow to make Dad comfortable. That way my Dad won't have to repeat, or tell Bill what to do.
Enough. Time to stop. Maybe Dad is asleep cuz I don't hear coughing. I hope so.
Good night, ladies.
Susan0 -
Feel as if I'm coming back to life!
Still not back to my usual number of pushups/plank, but I can feel my energy rising. More importantly my mood is lifting. Today is the first day I have had the energy and desire to properly "groom " myself. Washed, conditioned and oiled my hair, blow dried it, cut my toe nails, filed my finger nails and clear varnished them, plucked my eyebrows and then put make up on. It feels wonderful. So awful when you've got no energy or motivation to look nice. So lovely to have the spring back in your step! I look about ten years younger as well.
Barbie- yes I was doing 30 pushups and a 3 minute plank, but not on the same day and I would choose to do it when I wasn't tired from other things. I have always had good upper body strength. At school I was definitely not the sporty type, but somehow found I was good at throwing things and was reluctantly in the District Sports for discus, without any practising. I was always told I could 'throw like a boy!' and would arm wrestle anyone. Unfortunately my lower half is completely the opposite. I have never been able to run or jump and have suffered with a dodgy knee since I was 16. Since my 40s I have found walking difficult as my hips hurt and I have pronation of the foot. All this is much better since the weight loss and good orthotics, but I am not a natural walker.
Susan - you are amazing with your dad. Such patience! I hope you find time to be good to yourself.:flowerforyou:
Sandy - great loss! And well done for persevering through those pesky plateaux.
Love to all. Heather in Hampshire UK0 -
Michelle - we live about 45 mins drive from the 'real' Downton. We used to rent a cottage only a few miles away. I don't watch it as I am not keen on costume dramas, but it is very popular of course. I do love stately homes though and often visit them. One of our favourite things to do. We belong to the National Trust which preserves historic houses as well as beautiful countryside snd coastal landscapes.0

Welcome to all those new people on this list. You will definitely find support and lots of it on this site!
I like the idea of being thankful this whole month. I'll start with Friday, I was thankful that an acquaintance was cleaning out her closets and I got 13 winter items (mostly tops and sweaters) for $1.00 each. Yesterday, I was thankful that our neighbor didn't want any of his apples from his small tree so I'm making applesauce, apple butter, and dried apples. Today, I'm thankful for this group of wonderful people and Barbie who keeps it going!
October goals: Exercised 3x/wk and usually 4x. Didn't log every bite like I wanted and my scale show it. :huh: So the 3rd one--didn't make it to onederland.
November goals: Get and stay in onederland.
Exercise 4x/wk
Stay under my MFP calories 90% of the time.
Have a great month!0 -
I’m not actually lost in time this morning, but if you think of time as a train ride, I got off the sleep train one station too soon this morning. I reset the downstairs clocks before bed, but not the ones in the bedroom. I woke up, looked at the clock and it said 6:15. I thought 7:15? 5:15? So I got up. Oh, well. The fall adjustment has always been hard for me because I crave light and in the fall I get less and less. Now that I’m retired & can get outside when the sun is there I do quite a bit better coping. Getting up in the dark and getting home from work in the dark was not good. :noway:
Our sailing club had its annual meeting last night. I wore my skinny jeans and boots. People noticed and I had questions from the other women about how I lost the weight. I said I counted calories. They were so disappointed. I’m sure they wished I had a secret way to lose weight without effort. :laugh: The chef took very good care of me. He whispered to me early on that the only thing I couldn’t eat was the chicken. So I had a lovely salad, potatoes, steamed green beans & roast pork.
Joyce: I love your suggestion about having the kids choose what they want at a family get-together so they know in advance who will be getting what. It is an excellent idea. Our problems so far have come up in regards to things that came down to us through the family. They have emotional attachments to their grandparent’s things.:flowerforyou:
Renny: I usually do the leg exercises I was given by the doctor while riding in the car. They’re of an isometric nature. I raise one leg, tighten the muscles and hold, then relax, rest a few seconds & repeat. Then I shift to the other leg. Since he taught me this in a seated position in his office, I can do it seated in the car, too. I know what you mean about not wanting to do the exercises at home after a long day’s work. I’m glad you enjoyed your yoga class.:flowerforyou:
Anamika: Thank you for your explanation of the festival of Diwali and also for your good wishes.:flowerforyou:
Tina in FL: I loved the Bishop series from Kay Hooper for the first several novels, but then the books got too negative for me and I stopped reading them. DH kept on for another book or two, and he also stopped.:ohwell:
Meg: Your students are older than mine were, but teaching is an exhausting job, no matter what the age of the students. I’m happy to hear the worst is over for a while.:flowerforyou:
Joyce: Your gratitude for your doctor is wonderful. I’m grateful for DH’s new MS doctor. He’s worked wonders for my husband and that makes both our lives better. We had wonderful doctors when we were first married. When we moved to the Portland area we went through some who were not a good match before finding the right ones for us. They BOTH retired the same month I did and we had to start over. I’m pleased with the care we’re getting now.:flowerforyou:
JB in Portland: I love your thoughts on fall. I have day length issues and need to remember to get outside while I can each day. I feel better when I do.:flowerforyou:
Margaretturk: Reducing processed food consumption is an excellent goal, as are both of your other goals. You must be a wise woman.:flowerforyou:
Sandy from ON: I stopped adding salt to food during the cooking process after DH had his stroke. I now add it at the table. I was motivated to help him, but inadvertently helped myself, too. My total salt intake has dropped significantly even though I add salt when I want to. (He adds salt substitute.) I wonder if that would work for you, too. If you’re eating processed food, you won’t have that option. It seems like “they” over salt everything.:flowerforyou:
Sue in SD: I’m sorry your daughter’s house was broken into. That is such a stressful event for a family. It can make you feel unsafe in your own home. We’ve always had dogs and have had only one break in. The dog alerted us and we confronted the thief in our living room, which may NOT have been a good idea. It turned out okay, though. We called the police and they took her away. The police officers recognized her, as she’s been arrested repeatedly on drug charges. Luckily, we were not hurt and didn’t lose any property.:flowerforyou:
CJ: Welcome. You’ve found a wonderful group of women.:flowerforyou:
Dr. Katiebug: I love the Deuteronomy quotation. It fits our weight loss situation so well. Thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou:
Sylvia: Your lake retreat sounds peaceful and wonderful. I suspect that your prickly arms are a circulation problem and you were wise to stop your swim when you noticed them. Good luck. How long before your procedure?:flowerforyou:
Best wishes to all.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
November goals:
1. Log every bite
2. Focus on fitness, cardio and strength every week
3. Drink 3 or more glasses of water daily0 -
Karla - my heart cath is scheduled for Tuesday the 12th of November. They wanted to do it sooner, but said it wasn't an emergency, so I thought another week would give us some time. We are calling KU Med Center tomorrow to find out how to get a second opinion. I don't want to burn my bridges here, because I may need this doctor again, so I don't want to get him mad at me. I've never done this before, so I don't quite know how to do it tactfully.
Heather - I love Downton Abbey! One of my friends recently visited England and that was the one place she insisted on visiting. She came back with tons of photos. The costumes are often my favorite part.
It's a beautiful sunny day here. Supposed to get up in the low 60s I think. Just about perfect. About 4am Bruno needed to go outside something awful, and of course Molly thought she did too, so we raced around to throw on some clothes and leashes, and Bruno slipped his collar and ran out the door and down the outside steps before we could catch him. We were in a panic, because he's only been to the lake a few times and we weren't sure he knew where home is or not to fall in the lake! Hubby had the flashlight so he threw Molly's leash to me and charged out after Bruno. He got about halfway down and passed Bruno running back up the stairs! That puppy will be the death of us both! Now, Hubby is upstairs grading papers while I'm running the dishwasher. We will go back home about noon.
Have a great Sunday wherever you are.

Happy Sun.
Welcome new people.
Thankful for the sun today.
Thankful for this thread.
HUGS
jane0 -
I want to thank you all for your kindness, support and advice about my heart issues. It has truly helped me a lot. I feel like a whole bunch of good friends are holding my hand through this, and so I'm not so scared. This is a great group. Thanks Barbie for putting it together.0

Got extremely brave and stepped on the scale this am, (3 times, lol!!!)..............not at goal anymore, but not nearly as bad as I had imagined!!! So, things could be much worse; now to buckle down and lose again. Need to go get ready for a volunteer appreciation party this pm and remember to not eat my face off; it's so easy to stand and munch!!!
BBL.........hope all are having a good Sunday.

Hi! Just wanted to share my blog post again, and thank you all for being here.
The Anti-Snacking Sunday Saga
Good morning, good morning, sailors take warning,
Looks like we're in for some rain;
The scolding begins, I don't feel so thin,
The night time snacking is pain!
Gather thy thoughts, what plan have you got?
I must get over this hump;
It's causing my jeans to zip without ease,
Making me feel all too plump!
Once I was faithful with merely a plateful,
But now those days are quite rare;
There's something amiss with a feat such as this,
I eat 'til my cupboard is bare.
Pull in the reins! Stop with the gains!
I try and I try to take heed;
But when night time arrives, the snacking, it thrives,
Causing an overage of feed.
Where is my power? Washed down the shower?
I thought it was stronger than that;
I’ve looked high and low but it just will not show,
Now all I can find is my fat.
This day is brand new, my cravings are few,
I’ll take it and run like the wind;
When night time comes, I’ll tie up my thumbs
And never go snacking again.

A moment of silence please for the loss of the clip on my FitBit one. The cat got it last night and ate it. I can order another one from FitBit for $15 plus shipping but then I would have to let my husband know how much I paid for the initial thing. He thinks I just bought a fancy pedometer. So far it is working just putting the FitBit one itself in my pocket. But what happens if I am wearing something that doesn't have a pocket??? I guess I could put it in my bra but that might look a little weird to see this little bump. I'm just glad I love my cat. That's one Nook charger, one Ipad charger, one headphone, damage to my laptop charger.
Joyce, Indiana
Joyce, we can have a contest to see whose cat is the most destructive! Mine has destroyed 3 iPad covers, at least 20 pairs of shoes, an ottoman, an office chair, and a tote bag. At least mine only likes leather. He leaves my chargers alone.
When Bernie was a kitten, he pushed a computer flash drive on the floor for Brandy, the poodle, to chew on, so he got to do damage and someone else got blamed for it.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
This morning We got the garage cleaned out and hubby's car inside! It's the first time in three years. He gave me credit for doing it for his birthday, but honestly he did most of the work. Especially the heavy stuff. Still, it's nice to have it done. Now he won't need to scrape the windows every morning this winter. That makes me so happy! We took a load to the resale shop at the recycling center. Good to get that gone!
:bigsmile: Sylvia, I told my husband about what you did for your hubby's birthday and he said "What a class act" :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
:flowerforyou: Jb, Last night when we got ready to go to the big dinner, Jake had to change his mind three times about what to wear because of pants that wouldn’t zip up easily…………so this morning I read your poem to Jake and he declared it “outstanding”
:flowerforyou: Jake and I sat with the speaker so I was able to sit before dinner and talk to her rather than walk around talking to everyone I knew. I was moderately OK with what I ate
one piece of cornbread, a modest helping of stuffing, one deviled egg, cherry tomatoes, and a lot of turkey.
:flowerforyou: I walked the dogs one at a time this morning and will walk them again one at a time later. It rained a lot yesterday and while we were at dinner there was a huge windstorm that blew down branches and needles from the evergreen trees. Today it is clear and cold.
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: When I brought the turkey to the dinner last night I brought two giant bags and asked the carvers to save my a fair share of the turkey carcasses………this morning I started making soup and discovered that I had three carcasses and a packet of small bits of meat for the soup…..we will eat well for a long time.

I am back again. I have been battling to get rid of DCIS early stage breast cancer (or non-invasive cancer/pre-cancer) since January
I have had 3 lumpectomy surgeries and they cannot get clear margins. I am scheduled for the 4th last attempt to get it all on November 26 which will entail a large amount of tissue being removed on the left and a reduction and breast lift on the right. I am currently a generous double d and they hope to leave me with a C or large b cup. If this time does not work then I will have a 5th surgery to remove the whole breast. So I am hoping this it?mother I will need 5 weeks of radiation for 5'days per week.
So. I have to lose the weight and stop drinking so much alcohol. the type. I have is estrogen sensitive and being overweight and drinking too much makes it grow faster. I have nuclear grade 3 comedo with necrosis cells so it is already the most aggressive of pre-cancers. I have to stick to the program this time. I started at 157 and I was 153 today. So that is 4 lbs in one week, I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and walked the dog for 30 minutes and tracked my food.
I have always found this particular thread to be very supportive. I will be 60 in May so I need to lose the weight and get fit by then for sure.
Susan0 -
Day 3: thankful for a beautiful day and that the scale is finally moving in the right direction again. I am now officially 1/2 lb. lighter than I was on Jan 1, but still 6 lbs above the low I hit on April 19.
Prayers for those facing medical procedures, family drama, and other situations that life throws at you. Congrats to those with scale and non-scale victories.0 -
Happy November to all - bumping for later0

Hi ladies. I'm JB from PA. I'm 60 yrs old. I'm retired and disabled. I'm busting out with joy. I stepped on the scale this morning and it started with a "2". It was 296.5lbs. I haven't seen that number for a very long time. I started out heaviest at 369 and when I started on MFP in late June I was 349. Now this is so awesome. I just had to share with someone.
I'm so glad I found this thread. I try to do either Leslie Sansone or Tai Chi DVD's every day and light dumb bells every other day when I can. I have severe arthritis which limits movements but I try to push those limits as much as I can.
November Goals:
1. Log everything
2. Move every day (even on days I don't think I can)
3. Keep water intake up
4. Go for a walk
5. Help my sister more (she has Multiple Sclerosis and is at her home)
Hope ya'll have a great day.0 -
Nov 3rd. I am thankful for my husband. We have been married for 41 years. have they been blissful, picture perfect??? No. But yet he is not perfect and neither am I. We both come from completely different backgrounds and there have been clashes. But we love each other. He is sitting his in his robe, thin grey hair and varicrose veins all over his legs and I love him. Far cry from what he was whne we first met but that's OK. I'm not either. Once I asked him if my MS would ever make him divorce me. his response was that he married me in sickness and in health and that meant MS also. Marriage takes commitment and comprimise and it has been that. He was a rock during my parents illness and my MS and even his own heart attack. God found some one for me that even though we have different backgrounds and values we still have the same values in so many things. Money, child rearing, investments, our home, caring for our elderly family members. He has some quirks that a lot of people like to laugh about but I know that I will always have a supply of toilet paper and paper towels in the house!!! I will always know that the oil levels in the cars are perfect and the tires have just the right amount of air pressure. So on this day, Charlie, I am thankful for your love and devotion to our marriage and family and each other.
I have decided that I don't like this sample that my doctor gave me for my bowels. It isn't even on my insurance policies formulary so I'm sure it's expensive. He told me to take 2 pills a day and all I have is diarrhea so I went down to 1 pill and I have so much cramping until I can finally have a loose stool. Today I went through my pill keeper that I had just done last night for the week and took out all the medicine I can't take for 7 days before my colonoscopy. So there goes my fiber pills, multivitamin and aspirin. What with my fiber tablets gone and me having to be on a low fiber diet for the whole week I don't know how constipated I'll be. Maybe I should take these sample pills I hate during that 7 day period. I'll need to call the office and ask if it is OK to take these pills.
You all have a good day, Joyce, indiana0 -
:flowerforyou: Happy Sunday to all my Vit F ladies. The broad leaf maple in our front yard has shed almost all its leaves.
:flowerforyou: Welcome JB from PA. And welcome to all the newcomers.
My goal for October was to become more active. Goal for November is to follow through with that :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
- Jazzercise - 1 hr each Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday
- Yoga - 1 hr Saturday
- Walk - 1/2 hr at lunch 2-3 x work week
I also want to continue with self-care; i.e. chiropractor and massage once a month.
Have a great day! Renny

Just wanted to pop in and say hi, it's been a busy exhausting day. It certainly is chilly here today but beautiful and sunny.
I didn't sleep well at all last night so it will be an early night. Went to aquafit again this morning and then grocery shopping. DD bbq'd for what will most likely be the last time of the season. Most of our meals have been made now for the week. Fruit has been cut up and in containers for snacks at work.
Have a great night everyone Sandy from ON 0 -
Tonight my son and grandkids came over for supper. I made breakfast foods instead, and it was lots of fun. I made pancakes, french toast, bacon and cheesy hash browns. For me I made a no-salt Swiss cheese omelet. I did not even TOUCH that bacon, except for cooking it. Not even a taste! The kids were fun to watch playing with Bruno, playing with the electronic piano and dancing around the living room. Gosh I wish I had that energy. Bruno was sitting and shaking hands for bits of bacon from the kids.
He was having a blast.

tstiing down, and my foot hurts, will ice it for a bit, just finished doing the lawn riding mower and push, think that will be the last time for the push mower but my DH is anal about the leaves, we have 2 tree's in the back yard, one dumps all its leaves and then the other one waits and does all its leaves, why cant they be in sync and do it together.. but DH likes to have a pristine lawn, so every weekend, if its not raining,we do leaves...
thats the one thing about Florida, no raking and no lawn mowing!!!!
i am having a whole wheat bagel with cranberries with the greek yogurt cream cheese and a cup of tea- let me just say it is heavenly:bigsmile:
going to take a shower and then over to my FIL , then to Lowe's, Sam's, and out for pizza
Sorry about your foot. Hope it gets better soon. :flowerforyou: As far as the leaves, that's the beauty of nature, it does what it wants to do. We labor for its sake. 0 -
I'm 49 and a half. Can I play? I'm thankful to have found this thread!

There is something to be said about breakfast for supper. Especially with special family. Glad you had a blast.0 -
:flowerforyou: all the turkey bones turned into soup with matzo balls, carrots, celery, onions, parsnips, and bits of turkey. A good friend came over to cheer on our football team to a win in overtime and we enjoyed bowls of soup at halftime. Jake did most of the dog walking and the dogs spent a lot of time begging for pieces of turkey.......yes, they got some :bigsmile:0
