WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2014

Good morning! Ok, it's actually afternoon already. Don't know where that time went.
Last night hubby and I went to our local ice cream place for our weekly supper out. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and a scoop of ice cream. Their chicken sandwich is not the best but their ice cream makes up for it. So, we were sitting there enjoying our treats when my son came up to our table. We had not expected him, so it was a surprise. He told us that he brought the kids there to meet with their mother and her parents who had come down for an unofficial supervised visit. It was the first time the kids have seen their mom in more than 8 months. The middle girl was crying because she was so happy, which of course got me started crying. So, they were all sitting at a table somewhere behind us, and I heard a lot of laughing and jabbering. It was a tense situation, but it went well. My son sat with us and kept his eye on the kids. He had notified the police that she was coming for a visit so we noticed a couple of cruisers driving through the parking lot which made us feel better too. The last time our local cops saw her it was during an armed standoff with shots fired. And the grandparents actually abducted the kids once before. Hubby and I stayed a lot longer than we had planned, not wanting to leave my son alone to deal with it, but finally we got up to leave, walking around the long way so we didn't walk past their table and disturb their reunion, but just as we got to the door, all three kids rushed up behind us for hugs and told us they loved us. More tears.
This morning I went to my GP. She was really impressed with my weight loss. I'm down 16 pounds just since my last appointment! I had her order a genetic test for A1-AT deficiency that my son has, just to verify that I actually am a carrier and it's not just a big mistake. My son gave me a copy of his test results which I gave to her to put in my records. She also wanted a blood sugar and cholesterol test, which I planned for by not eating breakfast, so I was ready.
Tonight I pick up the younger granddaughter and take her to her first Girl Scout meeting. She really excited about that. I'm going to Joplin later this week to buy their uniforms and stuff.
We have sunshine today but snow in the forecast again later in the week. Oh joy.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Greatly in need of a nap, so this will be quick. Ended up sleeping at Gwen's last night ; she was all upset, couldn't get her washer to work, insisted it was broken. Went over there last night---washer was fine, so I did her wash; she only had one load and watched Downton with her. Decided to just stay over as we were going to try for taxes again today; I don't sleep well at all in her spare bedroom. Got her taxes done by AARP at the library-- YAY!!!-- took an hour waiting before they opened, then 2 1/2 more until she was done and had them checked. Went to a pharmacy with a list of her drugs and had them looked at to see if any of them could be causing her problems, got a few leads to speak to the dr. about. Then took her food shopping. WHEW, doesn't sound like much, but I'm exhausted.
On the WLS........I've known 2 people who got it..........didn't work long term for either one.
Hi to everyone..............off to nap.

:flowerforyou: nccarol - you asked"Beth - If you figure out how to change that ticker, let me know. I lost over 50 pounds before I started MFP but couldn't figure out how to make that show. Hence, it shows my current goal." Go to 'My Home' on the top menu, then to 'Check-in' on the menu just below. In that section it will allow you to edit previous entries, as will as change starting weight and date. This should automatically translate to your ticker. If not, edit your ticker, which can also be done anytime. Good luck!
:flowerforyou: Katla- using logic on husbands...sigh. now there's a job and a half! :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Sylvia - that was quite the tough situation. Good thinking on your part. And good idea to have the A1 thingy checked out as well.
:flowerforyou: Kathy - I really like your contributions.
:flowerforyou: Barbie - you look amazing!
Speaking of assumptions: did you know that certain exercises, such as crunches and planks (and some other ones I cannot quite remember now) do damage to abdominal muscles that have a condition called diastasis recti? It is a disorder defined as a separation of the rectus abdominis muscle into right and left halves. Look it up. Some separation is nothing to be concerned about, but...well, you look it up. Especially if you've had multiple pregnancies and/or large babies.
We have snow here. No really. The snowplow just came by, so it's true. :noway: :noway:

Just an update. Feb. goals are a bust. Didn't do well at all this month. Depressed and a lot of family stuff. Son depressed about money, girlfriend, his son, etc. normal growing pains but his depression worries me. My mom having issues with her husband who is delusional at times and hallucinates, but the docs say he is capable of making his own health decisions. As soon as they said that, he discharged himself from the nursing home and proceeded to "kill the bugs" on the wall which turned out that he used a lighter to 'kill the bugs' which were not bugs at all but a cobweb in the cellar stairs. He scorched the wall and scared my mom. He is still at home, confined to a wheel chair and stubborn as a mule. My mom is 78 years old and can't handle this. He is also in diapers. Big mess.
I have to admit I haven't read many posts, simply no time. But here is an update on my February goals:
My SMART goals for February:
I will lose 5 pounds by February 28 through consistently going to Curves at least 4 times a week and increasing my daily steps to average 8,000 steps a week. My ultimate goal is to weigh 145 or less pounds and be healthy by this time next year.
Amendment to goal: if I cannot make it to the gym 4 times in a week, I will exercise to my walking video for at least 30 minutes.
Pretty much same as last month.
SMART goal - Specific, Measurable, Actionable/achievable, Realistic, and Timed.
Week1: steps average: 5066. Curves 3 times (closed do to snow). Lost 1 pound
Week 2: steps average: 4636 (getting worse!) Curves 3 times (closed do to snow ) shoveled snow 3 hours this week! No loss but 6 inches gone!
Week 3: steps average: 4643. Curves 4 times (open late due to ice one day). Gained 3 pounds, depressed this past week.

Momsamodel ... I'm not sure how to figure the percentages ... but if I took my heaviest weight and use it for all three of these bench marks ... here's my experience:
20# loss or about 7% ... I felt better ... only my husband commented
40# loss or about 15%... those who hadn't seen me for a while noticed
65# loss or about 24% ... everyone is commenting!
And now the pressure is on .... because now everyone knows I'm dieting!
Beth in WNY
Thanks Beth!!! I am a long way from even 7 % but that is a fun mini goal!0 -
Renny ... thanks! I just fixed that ticker! Guess I just needed to acknowledge the other weight loss before joining MFP. Prideful I suspect ... but it was hard work!0
-
Thanks, Renny! Let me see what this looks like...
Edit: I decided to keep it at pounds to go, but it does show my real loss in my goal.
Beth: It is hard work and I kinda want my credit for it!!0 -
:flowerforyou: Yay Beth and Carol. It represents a ton of terrifically hard work. You deserve your ticker to reflect that!0

Hi all!
Exhausted and I've got a headache! Went out and bought a smartphone for the first time in my life. :sad: :blushing: :laugh:
Trying to figure out how to use it! :sad: I will get my old number transferred tomorrow so am just using internet on it.
I am so slow at new technology and panic easily. Once I get used to it everything is fine, but right now I just am tired and frustrated.
Will have to take a pain killer tonight. At least I've done it, which is a big milestone. I've been trying to make the decision for well over a year, feeling that I am embarassing myself with my old steam phone! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
It's not a posh one, but an improvement.
Oh such a neckache! Must relax.
Love Heather in windy Hampshire UK0 -
Just checking in. I'm overextended again and no time to comment. Just found out a childhood friend has less than a week. Totally bummed. We played together as toddlers and my first sentence included his name.
On a positive note, I have been walking and I suppose the wrist is healing.
I'll shut up now or else I'll whine for another 500 words or so.0 -
Joyce - typing on this laptop the keyboard is something different. I usually try to proofread my post, but I was so beat last night that I didn't. lol hoe
I prelogged my food yesterday and was going to eat only what I logged. I really was craving some protein later in the day, so what I think I'll do from now on is take different foods with me and then log them when I get back.
Oh, remember I said we were going to park at Wendy's parking lot since they're cheaper? Well, they jack up their price for parking on Sunday. It was $40, same as at the mall so we just parked at the mall.
Did 30 minutes of yoga today. The class is supposed to be 45 minutes long, but the Y scheduled the lady to work at their front desk from 6-7, then personal train from 7-8, then teach from 8-8:45. Well, from their perspective personal training brings in more income, not teaching a class that's included for free with the membership.
chickee - your workout sounds good. Congrats on the loss. More importantly -- can I come to Cancun with you?????
fitprincess - welcome back!
kayzoola - I remember the "bippy" from Laugh In, too
Tomorrow I'll do Gin Miller's Seriously Strong DVD.
BootCamper - welcome!
Carol in NC - I sure hope for the best for your son. That's just horrible all he has to go thru
After exercising today I stopped at CVS to get this soda that's on sale, then to Sav-A-Lot. I'm shocked at how expensive they are. But Vince needed bread and I know that Aldi doesn't sell rye bread, so I went there (but just for a very little). Then went to buy gas. Then to Walgreens to get the milk that Vince needed that they have on sale Back to the condo to do some laundry, ran the dishwasher, mundane things. I'll make dinner here tonight
Lucy - so sorry about your elbow. Sure hope it gets better fast.
Vicki - SD not being at her father's birthday party will be her loss
Sylvia - sounds like you handled son's situation with grace. Being told that you're loved makes you feel so good, doesn't it? I'm so sorry he has to go thru this
yanniejannie - so glad Gwen's taxes are done!
Renny - using logic I have the exact opposite problem. Vince can be so very logical and I'm the emotional one that his logic sometimes makes me mad. Although I know deep down that he's right, I can't help how I feel (emotional)
Rita - prayers for your mom. Sometimes doctors just don't think. They aren't the ones who have to deal with the patient (your dad). I remember my dad's MD wanted him to go on dialysis, my dad just asked "and how would I get there". The MD wasn't about to do anything to get him there. My dad didn't want dialysis, anyway.
Heather - good luck with your phone. My problem with my phone is that I just don't have the right "touch" for it.
Katie - so sorry about your friend. Whine all you need to, we don't mind. Congrats on getting a walk in

Hello to all: Well today is almost over and I have only four more Mondays until retirement!!! Had a good day today but Wednesday will be crazy. Oh well that is life. Having to make some hard decisions as to how I will take my retirement pension from the hospital. I have decided it is a gamble any way you do it.
Vicki - Annie Dillard wrote "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek". She won a Pulitzer Prize for it.
Heather - Hope you are feeling better soon.
Hope the little guy with the stomach problems finds a solution soon.
Healing angels to all who need them and congratulations to those with victories. Sue in SD0 -
Hi girls. I guess I'm back! I definitely have a better attitude today and I can say that today I am grateful that I can disagree so vigorously with my boss and she comes back to me and says "We can always work together even if we agree to disagree." You don't find that in too many workplaces.
Cold and a little snowy today. Nothing like other parts of the country...and Britain...all that flooding. Hope everyone across the pond is safe and dry. And hoping the rest of us are warm!
DH's cousin is doing some better. He has blood clots in his leg and arm. They had already put a filter in him so blood clots from the legs get caught before they get to his lungs. He still is not "awake" but he did take a few steps the other day. His wife says it's like he is sleepwalking. He still only opens his eyes rarely.
Went to my doctor today; she wants to see me every 6 months since I am going to the diabetic clinic too. I don't know if I told you but my latest A1C was 5.7 which according to her, makes me the best diabetic in the world LOL. I think she only said that because I took her some "diabetic and heart friendly" zucchini bread! My blood pressure was much better too...it had been creeping up but today was 118/72. Can't complain about that.
Well I re-tooled my exercise routine so we will see if that helps get me back on track. I think I have been on this plateau for months now. I have 6 days planned and figure if I do 5 of them, that's a success. I didn't go to aqua zumba today though because I have had an awful sinus headache for 2 days now.
Well nothing really new here. plugging away on the books at home in the evening. Work is going crazy; next week is our final and then boom, a week off and another one begins. Only this year I am not going to be able to take my spring break. I am hoping for one day of it. UGH got to get stuff done!
Well I'm off to bed; I can hardly keep my eyes open. Take care everyone. Hugs and high fives. I've missed you all. Meg from still-wintery Omaha0 -
Sue in SD - FOUR Mondays before retirement?!? You must be so excited.
What is the first thing you will do? ... other than NOT rush out to work, of course. Congratulations. :happy:
There are still ~ 7 years of Mondays in my future. Doesn't that sound like a long sentence? I actually told the boss that when I turn 62 I want to work just 4 days a week. That will still be more than 40 hours a week, but easing into extra time off seems like a good idea for me.
Meg - good to see your post.
Time for bed.

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I am so happy to have my exercise bike working again that I’ve been on it a lot today…..that, along with a two hour walk with a friend on the Olympic Discovery Trail has kept me away from the computer today. I’ll find balance soon. Barbie from beautiful NW Washington

This was sent to me in an email today. I am proud of calling all of you my sister!!!!
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother.. As
they talked about life, about marriage, about the
responsibilities of life and the obligations of
adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her
glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance
upon her daughter...
'Don't forget your sisters,' she advised, swirling
the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll
be more important as you get older. No matter how
much you love your husband, no matter how much you
love the children you may have, you are still going
to need sisters. Remember to go places with them now
and then; do things with them.'
'Remember that 'sisters' means ALL the women....
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other
women relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women
always do.'
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman
thought. Haven't I just gotten married?
Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a
married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely
my husband and the family we may start will be all I
need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her mother. She kept contact
with her sisters and made more women friends each
year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her mother really
knew what she was talking about. As time and nature
work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,
sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 70 years of living in this world,
here is what I've learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you
have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,
praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the
valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk
beside you....Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,
Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended
family: all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and
neither would I.. When we began this adventure called
womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or
sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we
would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.
Meg, so glad your post seems a little more upbeat today. Glad to see that.
Sue, 4 Mondays until retirement!!!! Congrats. I did n't have that choice. MS made it for me. But I am still enjoying it. When my husband retired I don't think we had a month to prepare for it. He was excited, I was dreading it! I had a way of life at home that I enjoyed and I knew that he liked more regimentation that would not fit into my routine. It started out a lot differently than what it has ended up so it has taken a lot of give and take. My diet changed it a lot!!! We went to a lot of burger joints for lunch when he first retired. I also had to start drawing my pension early which I did not want to but his social security wouldn't start for 8 months after he retired so I had to start my pension early. No choice if we wanted to eat.
I don't know what I did today differently than any other day but my left low back hurts. I have stayed on a heating pad and taken Aleve but it hasn't helped. In fact when I get off the heating pad it feels worse. Feels great when I am on it. I feel it is muscular. My dauhgters and I always get a sinus infection at the same time. She is 200 miles away, I may not see my daughter here in town all week but we will all get it at the same time. Just like we would all be on our periods at the same time. Now my daughters back hurts, she leaves and now mine hurts! I guess I should warn my daughter here in town that her back may start hurting this week!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
My daughter sent me the 15 favorite rental houses for vacation that we had narrowed it down to. So I am making all sorts of lists about those 15 houses to see which one my husband and I like the best. All are 4-5 bedroom but they are 3-5 bathroom. I know that sounds a little picky but It's nice to have your own bathroom. And the 4 bedroom my DGDs would have to sleep in the living room or maybe pull a mattress off of a pull out couch and put it on their bedroom floor. These girls wake up around 6 AM and us adults just don't want to get up that early! When we went to Myrtle beach last year we all had our own bed and bathrooms. The kids didn't have to go to the bathroom at 6 AM in their parents bedroom and wake them up. Also the kitchen was away from the bedrooms so they could go in there and fix some breakfast for themselves and then go back in their bedroom and watch a Disney film. I wish we would get the hospital bills from a couple of weeks ago so we could see where we are financially but from the way they were last year it was a couple of months. But it was Anthem last year and this year it's Medicare so it may be different. I doubt it.
I don't know if I am imagining it or just haven't looked at his hand tremor enough today but yesterday was the first day Charlie was at the full 3 time a day dose of his medicine for the Parkinsons and I don't think I saw as much tremor. I sure hope it will be this simple. He hasn't had any side effects at all. It will sure make him accept it better.
Joyce, Indiana0 -
Dear Joyce,
How very true! When my old school friends and I will meet up in Glasgow I have bought some friendship tokens to give them. On one side it says' friendship token' and on the other side, 'good for a lifetime'. I think that says it all.
Heather UK0 -
Meg - you certainly are lucky to have a boss who will work with you and values your opinion, even if it doesn't agree with hers. Congrats on being the best diabetic. Great to see you post, I always like reading your posts
Joyce - thank you for that "sisters" post. I'm going to forward it on to Jessica and Denise.
The other day I bought some grapefruit at this one store here. Was it ever good! I'm going to see if they have any more and when they're getting their next shipment, I'll probably take some back with me.
Going to the Y and doing Gin Miller's Seriously Strong DVD. Then going to Aldi, Vince wants some chips and I need a few other things, too. I was shocked at how expensive things were at Sav A Lot yesterday.
Tomorrow I'll do a downloadable spinning workout. Then I'll go to see a friend who I pay mahjongg with in Hickory. She lives in Pt. St. Lucy for 6 months of the year and in Hickory for 6 months. She's a real nice gal. One year I gave her a cake with a picture of a mahjongg tile on it as a gift to her for always being there (if she wasn't, we couldn't have used the clubhouse where we used to be).
Well, off now.
Everyone have a great day.

Hello to All, Welcome Newbies!
I am feeling a little frustrated right now. I'm not losing weight, I'm not getting in the exercise I need as I'm working full time and my part time job is now 3 nights and Sunday. This coming Sunday they decided to have a staff meeting at 5 when we close, which means I will be there another 2 hours.
I'm trying to rethink things, right now I feel like it's another full time job thinking about, planning, shopping for, eating, logging and trying to stay focused on weight loss. I'm thinking I need better, faster planning and organization.
Joyce, IN I like the sister story. Sisters really do listen and can relate, that’s precious and sometimes lifesaving.
Lucy DE, I believe if necessary an elbow can be cast. Doesn’t it always seem like you hit or bump what you’ve already hurt? I swear it happens to me every time. It might be a subconscious thing.
Tonight I am going to my DD's to celebrate her and my SIL's birthdays. I bought cheesecakes, the kind with a variety of flavors. It seems strange to think I have a 34 year old daughter and soon will have a sixth grandchild. Wow, time flies.
Everyone have a blessed and healthy day,
Patty, Cincinnati
Carol, NC I so agree with you about Sunday’s. I envy you your early Friday. I wish they would let us do that here. I really wish they would let us, as a department pick either a Monday or a Friday to work, our phones would still be taken care of and we could all work 4-10hr days. Right now I am working Sundays at the Y from 1-5 and that makes Monday morning even harder. We only stay open Jan thru March on Sundays and I am looking forward to having them off again next month. I hope your son is OK, gastro issues are tough.
Sylvia, Great job on the weight loss! I’m glad everything wen OK with the situation, your son sounds like a heck of a guy.0 -

Alison, you have been turning yourself inside out helping others for months. You've put your own goals and issues behind those of friends and family on your personal "to do list." It is part of your nature to be a helping hand. I hope you come to a place soon where you can devote some attention to yourself. Hugs.0 -
Barbie ... thanks for sharing the before photo ... your transformation is wonderful!0

Good morning! I've just been outside, in the cold, in my jammies and slippers chasing Bruno who had one of my shoes racing around the yard. Keep away is his favorite game. Big fun. :explode:
Barbies pics inspired me, so I took a couple of my own. Not as good, but I still have 52 pounds to go. They are on my profile page. I don't have a before picture to put up yet, so you will have to use your imagination. Also, I finally put up a picture of my Molly. Somehow Bruno came into my life and took over and poor Molly got pushed to the back of my mind. She's older and not as demanding as a puppy, I guess.
Yesterday I picked up my granddaughter to take her to her first Girl Scout meeting, but it turned out to be next week. Poor little thing was so disappointed. She made me pinkie swear to take her back next week.
After having a very long talk with his ex and her parents, my son decided to let the kids go to their house for an overnight on Saturday. He is braver than I would be. He said she is on probation now, and is in treatment and has a job, so he is hopeful she will be OK now. And he said he pointed out what the legal consequences would be if they screwed it up. So, I have my fingers crossed. It really is important to the kids, so I will bite my tongue and hope for the best.
I'm off to the gym now. Have a great day!
Sylvia0 -
Good Morning beautiful ladies.:flowerforyou: Well at weigh in this morning I lost the 1.9 that I gained last week. I am surprised as not had a good week food wise. Hope this is the start of being back on track. Only 7degrees this morning when I came to work. Sounds like it will not get much warmer the rest of the week. My BD is Sunday and I can remember it usally snows on my BD. Both DH and I work that day so will celebrate together on Saturday. I always say he can't forget my BD as just a day after his.
Sylvia--what a stressful evening. Glad it all turned out ok. Prayers as it can't be easy for the kids or DS. Hope you get good news at the doctors. Thanks to Bruno for making me smile today. They can make us upset and then be so cute. I know Jake tries me at times but when he climbs on my lap to cuddle I just melt.:flowerforyou:
yanniejannie--Gwen is so lucky to have you in her life. Please take care of you!:flowerforyou: On the subject of WLS, I put it off for years and then when the lap band came to GI I went to acouple classes and then I know several people that have had it done and done well and keeping the weight off. Then I got really sick and doctor said I had to do something. I know it is just a tool and I have to watch what and how much I eat. I have had to make a lifestyle change and at this point I am doing well.
Jane--sure hope you are feeling better soon!:flowerforyou:
Rita--OH MY! That would be so scary. Prayers and hugs to you all!
Heather--I know what you mean about new phones.
I have one of the older ones and I have a terrible time answering it at times. But I do like it for texting as most the DGC will text more often then call. Speaking which DGD is having her ultra sound this afternoon to find out if she is having a boy or girl. They have a boy and really want a girl. Those tokens sounds very nice. Where did you get them?
Katiebug--Sorry to hear about your friend. I saw a post on facebook this morning from my friend's SO as been a year today since Linda passed. It made me realize that the two people I have been friends with for over 45 years have passed. Hugs to you. And come Whine to us all you want that is what we are here for!:flowerforyou:
Sue--Thanks for info on the book. Congrates on only 4 more Mondays at work.:drinker:
Meg--So glad to see you back and glad you are feeling better. Sounds like the boss is a smart woman.
Barbie--WOW!!!
Joyce--I am proud to call all of you my sisters and that story is so true. Hope your back feels better soon and the daughters also. Pray DH keeps doing so well on the new meds.
Well hope you all have a good day. I am going over to a freinds after work this evening to help her fill out financal papers. She is the one that just finished radaition for breast cancer and her husband had back surgery last week. DH is working the late shift today so will go over and help with that.
Blessed! Vicki GI NE0 -
