Good Morning all.......It is going to be warm here today....yesterday it was 67 and they say it might hit 70 today......that is way to warm for this time of year.......I know some of you are freezing and would love to be in the 60's....but we need rain and our mountains need snow in the worst way.


I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday....

Biggramma!

I will email you all the snow you want! 'they are shutting down the interstates here. It is a zoo! Glad it is warm for some of you! Anyone want a guest that can cook, mow lawns, handy man work, or driver? LOL Have a great afternoon!

Jeffrey----Poor boy having to shovel all that snow. We live in Detroit,M for a couple of years While Muy husband was in the Air Force. I got to see them fishing on ice and campng out there. What a sight. I think I was housebound for 3 or 4 months. Jerrry did all the grocer shopping. What a mess when it started thrawing out. We live out in the country. I believe I will take Texas.

Biggramma----Nice out in Ca, It's not bad here a little chilly , Been to Walmart to get grocery and I got to do a little shopping for my cards making.

Pat----Good to hear from you.

Phoebe----It'a nice getting a report from you while you are out on the road.

Hi to Ellie, Normal, and our new friend Lauyn

Caralyn

Hello Biggramma, Jeffrey, Pat, Phoebe & Ellie,

This is Caralyn again and I live in Reno, Nevada. I'm wondering where all of you are from. I can tell some of you are in snow country and some are in sun country.

We all have the same issues to deal with, (weight) don't we? It's good to have a senior group (I'm 64). I read the threads and they look to be the younger to middle age group, or so it seems. Please stay in touch - sounds like we need all the support we can get.

I am in the Central Valley of California. My best friend just moved to Reno a few months ago...from Colorado Springs...she loves it there....Cleaner air than we have here in the Central Valley of California..

Welcome to the site...I am sort of new also...less than 2 weeks.....:flowerforyou:

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA

I live in Waleska GA with my dh and three cats.. used to be two cats, but we adopted one who just showed up in our backyard in December.. lucky little guy.. it has been a mild winter for us until this week, the weather report shows temps down to 13 for us, and very cold for the next week. Very cold for us, that is.. probably would be t shirt weather for Jeffrey!!
We left the two boy cats at home alone this week, in hopes that they will become better friends.. the old one is jealous of the new one.. but they are both very good, sweet natured cats.. we brought our girl with us, as usual. She doesn't seem to mind being our only 'child' this week!!
We are in Ontario CA for the night, we load in the morning, heading back to Georgia. We get in a little walking, to and from the building where the restrooms and food are located. We have 'Idleaire' hooked up, it gives us ac/heat and internet and tv.
It was very warm here today, about 83 or so.. amazing to feel so warm when it is cold in so much of the country.. I read that Iowa is really bad right now.. lots of ice.
take care everyone

I am 78 years old, the oldest of the bunch. And the youngest is Phoebe. And we did need our thread. I have been having a blast here. As the younger one say Cool.----Marie

CALIECAT

I live in Mustang, OK. Just about 18 miles West of OKC. It very cold here tonight and the high will be 26 tomorrow. I don't think that compares to where Jeffrey is from.

Pat

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA

it may not compare, but it sure is cold!! We usually get a low temp by mid December, but we didn't this year. So this cold snap is a wake up for us down south.. Well, on the bright side, I may finally get to wear my new coat.. it hasn't been cold enough for it, I would have melted in it. I don't want to bring it with me, coz I am always getting something on my clothes, so I wear work clothes.. pants, work shirts, work jacket.. and comfortable old shoes...
I had a cup of chamomile tea last night.. it was really good, it surprised me.. I have had mint tea, but not chamomile. I think it is the one that is supposed to help you sleep.
I want to get some green tea and try it again. I tried it once, but I didn't like it.. however, my tastes have changed, so maybe I will enjoy it.
have a good evening.

pjsatticPhoebeWaleskaGA

I hope you are including yourself in that great bunch of seniors. You are one of the best!! I miss Ms. Gayla, don't you?
what to eat, eh? well, for sure, there will be an egg in my breakfast. I don't cook much for breakfast when we are home.. so a ham and egg croissant maybe.. or just eggs. and of course, a quart of coffee!! I drink less of it at home too, but not much less.
I'm going to shut down the pc in a few and we will go to get our load after breakfast. It is another pretty day here, already 69.
Here's hoping all of you who must get out today will be very careful.. so many slippery places, even if it isn't cold in your area.
take care, have a great Thursday,

GOOD MORNING... Breakfast was 1 cup of Cheerios 100 calories...a 100 calorie pack of Craisins and two cups of coffee :drinker: ....Not sure what the other meals will be.....

Hope all are having a terrific Thursday.....I have no plans for today....

jeffrey71

Calie!

I would recommend stretching and balance moves today. Try standing on one leg and balancing there for as long as you can. A very good goal would be 20 seconds, then do the other leg.

Ankle: Use a chair for support. Stand on one leg, support yourself with the chair if you need too. Rotate the elevated ankle in a clockwise rotation 6 times then reverse the rotation. Be sure to "point" the toes while you are doing this.

Calves: Stand up straight. Raise up on your tip toes repeat until you "feel" it. Support yourself if you need too. Do this with your feet about 9" apart and parallel. Later do it with you ankles turned out and then with you ankles turned in.

And do some arm crosses. Good for the shoulders. Swing your arms across the front of your body. Right over left then left over right. Do for 45 seconds.

Then do "swimmers: Rotate the right arm in a big circle forward from the shoulder like you are swimming and then do the left. Do these forward and back.

I really like the balance stuff for the legs. Good real life stuff!

Have a great day everyone!

Jeffrey

CALIECAT

Good Morning All,

I just added my ticker to my signature. I'm only down 3 lbs. in almost 2 weeks' time.....is that slow or what?? I try hard to not get discouraged but some days are harder than others. "Chatting" with all of you is definitely a "plus". Have a great day everyone and stay warm.....

Hello, You are doing just fine. 1 to 2 lbs a week is all they want you to lose. I would take a lb. a week anytime. Keep up the good work. And have a happy day:bigsmile:

I don't want to cook cause that will take to long but I need something that will help keep my blood sugar from dropping. Maybe some peanut butter and toast? :frown:

:embarassed: So sorry I got lost for awhile but I am back:bigsmile:
I have been concentrating on my DH and his bloodsugar and that monkey has turned around lost enough weight in a couple of weeks to lower his blood sugar below 100 and I am still struggleing. However I notice I have lost 3 pounds so at a pound a week and that ain't bad! My DH does not want his picture on here so "I cropped him out" I am catching up on all the topics I have missed the last 2 weeks and will be here again evry day.

Ellie:devil:

CALIECAT

Ellie so glad you are back. I have been worried about you. congrats on your 3 lb lost. Glad your dh got his blood sugar under control.. that is a hard thing to keep in control. You really have to watcg it.

how is the weather there? It is quite chilly here but nothing like what Jeffrey is going thru.
Welcome back.---Marie

Jeffrey---Will repeat those exercise and do one of my chair exercise today. Thanks And by the way keep warm.

And to everyone else have a happy day and stay warm.---Marie

It will be in the 30's today and the teens tonight. One thing know here it will warm up so it is not a big deal. We will bundle up and take an hour walk today. Have to get that in.:flowerforyou:
