Hi CALIECAT, I'm new, just started logging my food yesterday. It is a good way to keep track of things. It's very interesting to find out how much I was eating before I started using the food dairy. I' m also a diabetic. I take Byetta and Medforim. I went 12 years without taking any meds then last year I had to start taking meds. I love to walk and have been walking for about 8 years. Your Jack Russell is cute. I just got me an American Cocker and we are in the pottie training stage right now. He is only 8 weeks old and I have had him for just a week. I'm from Mustang, OK. About 18 miles from Oklahoma City. Hope you have a wonderful day. I don't have my profile made out yet so guess I should get busy.

Pat :flowerforyou:

Hi, glad to hear from you. My little dogs name is Toby. He is so attached to me, he just follows me everywhere.

I had a very busy day today. My granddaughters birthday was today and I made her a dinner then we had cake. Yes, I had cake. It was not on my plan today but I don't think I did to bad. Sometimes it is so hard not to have something when everyone else is eating it. I think that is my biggest down fall. I hope you had a wonderful day. I'm going to bed now, I'm so tired after cooking that big meal.

Pat :yawn:

Good Morning Everyone!

Got a big ice storm coming today so it will be a mess soon! Congrats on the loss Calie. Keep it up!Everyone ready for Christmas? We will have both the daughters home Saturday. I can't wait! I think that I have dropped 2 more pounds this week but I am waiting until Saturday for the weight check.

Have a great day!

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Hi Jeffrey,
so glad you dropped in. Have been wondering about you. Nice to see you back.
I have been working on my menues, it is hard to keep your calories up and keep your carbs in line too. At least it is to me.
But I will keep working on it till I get it right.
Marie

jeffrey71

Marie,

Good to hear back from you too. Just hang in there. Pick up your exercise as best you can. A little more walking will make a difference. Do you do any strength training at all? It is really good for all aspects of physical well being. It doesn't have to be excessive to generate benefits. Good for the bones too! Have a good evening! Stay in touch!

Jeffrey

By the way, due to some German Chocolate cake and an inherant weakness on my part for cake, I have used all my calories for the day, so I will have to work out extra tonight if I want supper! LOL

CALIECAT

Hey Jeffery. I hear you on that Chocolate Cake. I got to make a Texas Sheet cake for Christmas My kids faverite and mine too. I will have a small piece and if any left will leave it behind . After My husband get him aa big hunk of it to take home. So far I don't sneak into his.

I have learn to have a Tablespoon of this and a Tablespoon of that at these big dinners and I don't do to bad and drink lots of water.

I am having French toast this morning for breakfast.

Could you explain some strengt training I can do? Be my coach, I would aprreciate it. I will look it up on the web and see what I can find.

Your friend ---Marie

PS I did order me Please Be Seated tape for Seniors off the web Just now. I should get it around Jan. 6. Thanks so much for you help.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

jeffrey71

Calie,

I sent you an email with a couple of ideas for you. I will see what I can find for a workout plan for you.

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Thanks--Jeffrey

Good morning all you seniors Pals.

Another beatiful day here, but a cold front is coming in tonight but no wet stuff.

I have a Dallas Cowboy game to wacht tonight. Always look forward to that. Win or lose:yawn: :yawn:

I got in a little exercise yeaterday, Walk around the block with my Walker that has a seat and I had to stop and rest serveal times. For some reason my ankle was both hurting and of couse my back and legs. But I made it. Will go again before the cold front hit. Also did some weight lifting with my 2 lbs weights. Pretty good for an old woman like me.

I had a nice breakfast of eggs , Whole grains english muffinwith diet jelly and low calorie margarin spread and 2 cuties tangerines. That should las me till lunch time. Which will be tuna and zucchinie. Don't know about tonight.

I got a lovely E-Mail Christmas card this morning. It was so cute. from a dear friend.

Dh and Sammy has gone for there morning walk.

jeffrey71

Good for you Calie! Keep it up! I am very proud of you. It sounds like you pushed yourself just enough!
We are getting ready to go pick up our oldest daughter at the Detroit Airport. It will be great to have both of them home for Christmas! I just posted a 2# loss for this week! Did 2 hours of yoga last night and it was a killer! I am still sore!

Weather is still crappy here, 22 degrees with more ice on the ground and in trees than you can imagine. Our best friends have not had power for going on 2 days now, but they have geneators so it could be worse.

Everyone have a great Saturday!

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Jeffrey Be careful out on the roads. How far is it to the airport.? I know your wife and you will have a lovely time with your daughters. Family time is the best.

Great on your loss. Marie

CALIECAT

Good morning all you seniors.

I did 15 minuets using 2 lbs 0f weights. yesterday. Gonna try to work it up longer.

Jeffrey~~~hope you and your family made it home from the airport safe and sound.. Nasty weather up there. I can hardly wait to get my exercise tape.

My Dallas cowboys lost last night. What a shame. don't know what their problems is.

CALIECAT

Hey I am up bright nd early this morning. Had my coffee and fixing my oatmeal for breakfast.
Have some running around to do today. Grocer shopping and an Doctor appt. To see how my last blood work turn out.

thanks goodness it is going to warm up today. 2 days around 30F was just too cold for me.

Missed my exercise yesterday, Will make up for it today.

I finish making Christmas cards yesterday to put the family Gift cards in for Christmas. I took Pictures of them but unable to get them on my computer. Don't know what my problem is.

Have a good day~~~~~~~~~~~~~Marie

jeffrey71

Good Morning Marie!

Glad to hear your doing well! I hope the Dr. visit goes well for you. I just had my blood work done a few weeks back and I was very happy. The weather up here is still very very nasty! It finally got out of the single digits but we have another round of ice and snow for today. We still have thousands without power here, but we are all fine at our house.

Started the second phase of P90X this week and it is intense. So far so good. With the holiday foods in full view it seems to get harder to stay on the diet path, so I have picked up my exercising and I am drinking more water.

Have a good day and enjoy your running around!

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Hi Jeffrey~~~~~

This is going to be a rought week for us all. I so look forward to the Holidays. Spending time with the family. Are your girls in College? two of my granddaughter just finish College in St. Louis. One Had plan on moving back to Texas to be a school teacher but along came a boyfriend and that change those plans. My Son 's wife is from St. Louis so that is Where they settle down I sure missed them, But they come down pretty often. We were up there in October when the Dallas Cowboys and the St. LOuis rams play. And Dallas lost. Bruce, my son is a big Dallas Cowboy fan. My oldest daughter, Alice is hosting the Christmas dinner for us. Next year we will go to My youngest daughter, Kathy for Dinner, One lives 45 minuets west of us the other one lives 45 minuets to the east of us. We are in the moddle but I don't do Dinners anymore. But I have done plenty in the past years.

We are supposed to go to my mothers tomorrow for Christmas with her and then back to our house (90 miles) for church at midnight and then my wife's family is coming up to our house for Christmas day and then we are going to our friends for Christmas evening!

We are HUGE Colts fans here! Been through the bad years and have really enjoyed these good ones!

Take care and enjoy your family and Christmas! Our best to you and your family!

CALIECAT

Jeffrey~~~~ sound like a nice faamily get together.

I went to the Docter and she was real please with my blood work. everything was normal except my Vitamin D and I take 50,000 once a week,. She said I made have had an infection to cause it Maybe I need to get out in the sun more. But I did lose 5 lbs since I last saw her and she was glad of that. I told her you was coaching me with my exercise. She been after me for months to get out and walk as much as I can. my DH and I hit Walmart this morning What a crowd. That should count for my walking today. Will get my weights and ball out and work out this afternoon..

:bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile:

CALIECAT

HELLO OUT THERE!

Have been a busy gal today. Getting ready for tomorrow. Just about to wind it up. Oh and that chocolat ecake smell so good, Didn't even lick the bowl Nor the fudge icing Iput on top.

Hope everyone have a nice dinner and not over do it. Gonna be hard but I know it can be done.
A girl told me last year when there are so many good food around to just take a T. of this and a T. of that. It work last year for me. But I didn't keep it up thruout the year.-MARIE

HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!

pkdarlin

Hi CALIE, so glad your blood work turned out good. Mine was good this time around too. I also take vitamin D. My doctor up mine to 20,000. I thought I was getting a lot of sun but I guess not. I get more in the summer time cause I walk outside then. I walk at the community center ( inside ) in the winter time. I just joined the seniors workout room at the community center so wish me luck. They have a nice room with just about every kind of workout machine. I feel a little self conscious though. I think it would be nice to have a senors fitness thread. You might already have one, I need to look around and see. Hope you have a wondeful day.

Pat:flowerforyou:

CALIECAT

Hello Pat, I started out login my food intake for breakfast It lasted till our Christmas dinner. I couldn't count it all, But Thanks goodness tomorrow is a new day.

Had a nice family get together. Good food , nice gifts. Just a wonderful day.

Thats great that you sign up for the community center. We have one too, Maybe I need to look into it again. I did go there a few times long time ago. I think I will call up there and see what they have going now, I know you can get a real cheap lunch.

I will start a thread exercise for Seniors. SENIORS GOLDEN SNEAKERS CLUB. look for it on the exercise forum. And good luck to us seniors---Marie

CALIECAT

I ovwershot my calories yesterday. Enough said. New start today. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Already had 4 glasses of water this morning,And sone had my walk in. So far so good.

I had a great time yesterday enjoy being with my kids.

Jerry my DH and I are going out shopping this morning for a new printer for my computer. Mine just went dead on me.

My brother, Charley who is 2 years younger than me is in a bad way. He has protate cancer and bone cancer and he is too far gone for any kind of help. Its kind of shocking for he always went to the Docter and they didn't catch any kind of warning. So that put a damper on Christmas.

Well thats all, gonna work hard on my ecercises.----Marie
