SENIORS GOLDEN SNEAKERS CLUB

Sandydur

Hello Everyone,
Wasn't around too much this weekend, my granddaughter had a dance compeittion and I never miss any of her competitions. They did great and swept the competition, I am very proud. She is 14 and has been dancing since she is two. Great fun. :happy:
I did still stick with my diet and missed only Sunday for exercising, so I am staying with it.

Sounds like everyone is on goal and keeping up with their calories. I know it is okay to go over a little now and then, since you all told me to just keep going when I did. :blushing:

Biggramma, tell your son I am also proud of him, what a great accomplishment. He should be very proud of himself. :drinker:

It is a sunny day here near Chicago and can't wait until we can sit on the patio again.

Have a good day!!
Sandy

Hi guys----

Sandy I am looking forward to sitting outside and getting some of that nice warm sunshine. We have had a few days like that and looking for more tomorrow. but this week end another front comes thru and get cool again.

Biggramma---Say that son of yours sure did a good job of losing. You should be really proud of him.

All you other guys hope you had a pleasant day and to all a goodnight. Caliecat

Hi Everybody,
I just found out about this group. I think it will be fun to stay connected to people my own age who are making big changes in their lives. I'm doing this one day at a time and giving myself a sticker on the calendar for every day that I follow my plan.

I am lucky to live in a town with a huge retired population. There are three line dance classes a week and dancing is my passion. Much more fun than the gym. I have dogs that like to be walked so I stay active. And when all else fails, I can walk up and down the hall. :flowerforyou:

Church tonight for Imposition of Ashes. Everything else seems pretty peaceful. I love mid-week calm! Thats about it for now. I had a nice lemon chicken salad for lunch and some milk. You all take care and have a good day!

He looks great, feels great and is glad he had it done. His two brothers also had prostate cancer, one had the robotic the other the seeds.

Hi biggramma. Got carried away there. huh!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I am feeling fine now also my appetite is back,,,[ Darn it.]]
I was warching BL last night and Bob was showing a pkfg. of green giants Steamers with cheese sauce And it got 2 bags of them . I had the whole bag for 135 calories. Nice veggies too. Boy am I full. I have over 700 calories left for supper and snacks. Way too many.:devil:

Its so good having you all hear to talk to. And the calorie chart is just fantastic I have been reading a lot of the other threads too. We all have the same problems. [We just love to eat]:flowerforyou:

Jeffrey how is you MIL doing?

Sandy--- did you make it without meat yesterday? I could live on veggies and beans. Also Baked goods is a weakness for me. :yawn: :yawn:

Phoebe when are you heading back home? I bet those cats are ready to get out of that truck. And you too.

Have a great day:drinker: Tea time

CALIECAT

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: Good Morning to All,

Thanks, Marie, for checking on me. All is well here. We had six inches of snow overnight Wednesday. When I took the dogs out for their first walk they got so busy playing that they forgot to do business then they insisted on going out again an hour later. What a mess of towels, wet socks and clothes. Our all wheel drive vehicle in the shop getting some warranty work done so the only vehicle we have is the red Miata, totally unsuited to driving in the snow. Reluctantly I had to skip my line dance class so I moved all the rugs and dog beds in the entryway, got out my CD player and danced by myself for an hour. At one point Brandy, the black standard poodle lay down in the middle of my dance floor. Later, Sasha, the red standard poodle got on her back legs, put her front paws on my shoulders and wanted to dance with me.

I got more exercise later shoveling snow off the walk, driveway, and back deck and of course more dog walking.

A lot of the snow melted but it's still very white today.

I'm game for some sort of challenge. What about starting with reporting new successful eating or exercising strategies? :glasses: :flowerforyou:

Sandydur

Hi Everyone,

Didn't post anything yesterday, had a busy day and didn't even exercise. :noway: Put up some new vertical blinds, went to a meeting, had hair done and came home to change to go to a benefit from my church. It was a dinner fashion show and although they had raffles I didnt win anything. :ohwell:

Did fine without the meat on Ash Wednesday, of course the day you have to fast is the day you are the hungriest. :laugh:

Went back to exercise today and even though we had dinner at the banquet, I managed to stay within my 1200 calories.

Hope everyone and their families are doing good, and hope all get back to good health.

Have a good day!! :bigsmile:

CALIECAT

BIGGRAMMA

Good evening....I am still around...Just don't have much to add to this forum thread...I don't really do much....You all have such busy lifes and do fun things.....I am pretty much a stay at home....not because I can not get out...I can...I just don't really have anything to do....I did go grocery shopping today....I going to the grocery store.

I got a roast to put in the crock pot since my truck driving son comes home tonight or in the morning...so we will have it Saturday evening.

Tomorrow morning I have to go over to the hospital to have some blood drawn before I have my CT scan on Tuesday.....I have a lung nodule that my Pulmonary Doctor likes to keep track of...I am not at all worried about it...since he found it 5 years ago and it has not grown...So I want to leave it alone..but he is talking biopsy..But I think not....

Our weather has been very nice here...but I hope we get some much needed rain soon...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone...:flowerforyou:

Sandydur

Good Luck with those tests BigGramma, I will say a prayer for you if that is okay. :flowerforyou: I am presuming you have back problems Marie, hope the brace helps you.

:flowerforyou: Hi Biggramma

I'm like you. I can exercise a lot longer with the TV on. We have a stationary bike in our living room in a perfect place to watch TV. I love watching TV and often I'll knit or fold laundry with the TV on but exercising and watching TV is the best thing for me if I'm going to take off those nasty pounds. I had peanut butter today and really needed to do something about all those calories.

Be safe :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
