WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2012

Oh my stars and garters gang...three pages??!!
Exermom - yeah, just 49.9 years old. I look older at a glance because of my prematurely pure white hair (started in my early 30's and I've been almost completely white since my early 40's.
RebelRenny - so glad you're feeling better. That's NOT the best way to lose weight!
Magnolia1962 - Awwww. Scarlett is beautiful!
Kckramp - Hooray for the LEGO team. That sounds like great fun.
GoldWinn2 & marsellient & Florawanda - Welcome. I'm pretty new myself. A great and supportive group of folks, you'll enjoy "hanging out" here.
marsellient - I was on medications for blood pressure & cholesterol, NSAIDs for my knee and was heading rapidly toward being on medication for Type 2 diabetes. I'm off all of that now, in fact my blood pressure is running a little low. Weight loss can make a difference on all these conditions, though there are no guarantees.
schmogo9 - a pound a week isn't just OK, it's great. I do love seeing the measurement differences, though.
genealace - glad your DBF is getting better, even if you wish it were faster. He's very lucky to have you!
mazaron - Sooo jealous of your seafood extravaganza. We cannot get good seafood here and having grown up close to the ocean I find it hard to settle for what we can get. And I feel you on the lefty thing. So many things folks never think of. Righties: try spreading out a hand of cards like you were playing a card game - see all the cards identified in the corner? Now splay 'em in the other direction. Oops. Blank corners, no? It's everywhere!
Cathys01 - So sorry to hear about the migraine. Hope you're feeling much better by now!
barbiecat - Peanut butter is a great motivator! I have peanut butter or almond butter for a snack almost every day. I reckon it's within my calories and I'm always low on fat (and the fats in nut butter are the healthiest kind). So if I want some, I have some! Just not very much.
megathome111 - my weekends are NEVER for relaxing unless I force the issue. Any chance you'd come and do my spring cleaning as well, since it'll give you great exercise? No? I thought not. Sigh.
Laura80111 - I'm sorry you don't enjoy your job more; it's hard to find something new right now and hubby not working makes things extra stressful...I'm in that same boat. My DH has been looking since late July. Nothing.
Yellowrose532 - Glad you're feeling better, and getting back on track. For me, planning my meals has been absolutely key - I'm always in trouble when I start to wing it. Even though I've hit my original goal, I've decided to continue logging for the forseeable future. It's so easy to gradually slip into regain.
Scompton54 - Cross country skiing! I've never tried it as we don't have suitable weather around here, but I've heard it is fabulous exercise - and I bet it's beautiful as well. Have fun on your bus trips! And great thoughts on the goal setting; might have to read "The Happiness Project" once I get through my current reading backlog.
:bigsmile: Celebration here. I weighed in at the doctor's office and got the same weight as my home scale wearing the same clothes. I guess that makes it official! :drinker: Trying to slow the weight loss down now, and am gradually raising my calories.
I'd love to be able to stabilize in a size and slowly build a wardrobe of clothes I love. I've been shopping thrift stores and consignment shops, keeping a limited selection of each size and wearing clothes (especially tops) until they started to look ridiculous for what seems like forever now. :grumble: I just want a nice selection of clothes in the right size - but I have to wait and figure out what that size is. Just last week, it seems, I dropped another jeans size. :laugh:
Ah, well. A good problem to have, I guess.
Happy Monday, all!

Hi
Started off quite well today, but lost it after tea, I really need to cut down on after tea treats!
Tomorrow we are taking our little kittens to the vets to be spayed and neutered, we are a little worried, they have just started to trust us and are getting friendly. I'm sure they will be fine, but I will be glad when they are home.
I am trying to log my food for the week, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to stick with it, I think I could do breakfasts and lunches, but evening meals depend on what I feel like making when I get home.
Congrats to the losers, and to those struggling don't give up!
Time to move!
Viv xx0 -
Just got done with sweating to the oldies. Very good workout. Thanks Virginia for recommending it. I was wondering if anyone has used the bodybugg? I would like to get a better reading of how much I really burn. Sometimes I think it is less then what it says.
Virginia congratulations on the doctors. That must be a great feeling?
February is a new start didn't lose didn't gain in January.

Hi Ladies:
Today is a down day for me, 3 years ago today, my Dad passed. I miss him a lot, he was one of my favourite people, but dementia had claimed him so I was not sad to see him leave, if that makes any sense? I miss him but he was so unhappy and in such pain at the end, it was a relief for him to pass on. I was lucky to be with him when he did pass, but I really miss him
It looks like I missed some birthdays - sorry, genealace and Rita, Happy Birthday to both of you, belated as it is.
Well, this was just a quick check in. I will talk to you later.
Love, Cathy xx0 -
I'm back from the US National Figure Skating Championships. I had a blast and lost some weight too!0
-
Good Morning. Changed my profile picture so that you can all meet my little Scarlett Victoria. That's some serious love there. Today is my day to go back home. It's going to be tough. We're heading to the hospital with some breakfast for us grownups then we have to hit the road. But in 2 weeks I get to come and spend 9 whole days here. Yay.
She is beautiful!!! Congratulations!! Love her name.0 -
Good Evening Ladies...My Monday started out with a 2 lb GAIN from Saturday...what's the deal!?!? I actually was very good yesterday food-wise, but did realize late last night that I had dropped the ball on my water consumption.
I was anxious to get to menopause and get rid of that "time of the month"...since I've been here...I've decided I would prefer that "time of the month" for a lifetime compared to this menopause thing. I hope it get's better. Jeesh... Anyone have any suggestions for getting through this menopause mountain?
Despite the gain I stuck to plan today, walked at lunch, and again with hubby and Abby our lab this evening. Tomorrow I start a 13 week Weight Watchers at Work series at lunch time. I will continue logging my food here, as I just find it much more functional. Should be able to figure my points from the nutrition data on the food pages.
Linda...great attitude! Sometimes we have to pick ourselves up & dust ourselves off...that became my plan today.
JustKate...The January/February Blahs tend to affect our attitudes I think. I know that I am feeling more up-beat with just a few more minutes of daylight at the end of each day. I am rather solar-powered.
Pam3 ...I've always thought spinning looked like a "killer workout". Do you need much coordination...because I have none of that. I nearly killed myself on one of those ellipsis machines once.
Jackie...thanks for reposting Barbiecat's quote...I missed it earlier...but it is so well-put. I know that I will often forego my needs for someone else's...that must change.
JB & Linda...5 & 6 pounds for the month is AWESOME...great start to the New Year for you!
DaveTecsGirl...I'm ready for February...bring it on!
Desiree...I noticed your profile picture...Is that your daughter who rides...or is it you? I am an equestrian mom myself...well was until darling daughter graduated college & started working full-time. I always enjoyed those days.
Virginia...I love your quote...Oh My Stars & Garters Gang...maybe we could call this group the Stars & Garters Gang! I love your white hair...I decided to give up the coloring about 3 years ago. I call my grey "God's Highlights" ... and not sure I will EVER get to white. It looks so classy!
Viv...logging everything has not been as difficult as I thought it would be. I really like having all the nutritional information available to see .... daily goal vs. actuals.
Joyce...I'm looking at getting Zumba...but maybe Sweatin' with the oldies is more my style!
Cathy...I understand your feelings. I lost my mom & dad in 2009 within 4 weeks of each other. I think my dad died of a broken heart after mom passed away. They both had dementia too. I miss them every day...
This is getting rather wordy...so guess I'll close...have a healthy evening ladies!

:flowerforyou: Nancy, the principal of the last school I taught in was left handed and he taught us a lot about how to be more sensitive to our left handed students. Although I bought spiral notebooks for writing, I bought a few with the binding at the top so left handers wouldn’t be leaning their hands on the metal spirals. I bought more expensive fiskars scissors that could be used by either hand so all the scissors could be used by everyone, and since I taught grade one and was teaching penmanship, I demonstrated everything first right handed, then left. Thanks for reminding us. A couple of years ago I taught a left handed friend to knit….great for her and very challenging to my brain.
:flowerforyou: Sarah, thanks for all that great information about goal setting……you’ve got me thinking about cross country skiing (something I’ve never done). I will look for “The Happiness Project “to read as soon as finish my current strength training book.
:flowerforyou: Virginia, I had to give up peanut butter because I was unable to be moderate with it (picture me with a jar of peanut butter in a brown paper bag sneaking bites of it with a spoon):laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ……..now my treats are walnuts, raisins, and dates…..I can measure them and be more temperate…..how exciting that you’ve reached your goal weight and are moments away from starting to build a real wardrobe…..it will be so much fun.:bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: MacMadame, I am so envious of you at the National Figure Skating Championships……I recorded them so I could watch them at my leisure but being there must have been awesome.
:flowerforyou: Tomorrow evening just before my early bedtime (Pacific Standard Time) I will be starting the new thread for February. I will put the link to it on my last post on this thread so everyone can find it. It has been our custom to start each month with some new goals and a report of how well we did with this month’s goals…….so be prepared.0 -
Oh, when you watch, look for me! I'm in the front row and very near where skaters jump and spin. I'm sitting behind the & in AT&T. :laugh::flowerforyou: MacMadame, I am so envious of you at the National Figure Skating Championships……I recorded them so I could watch them at my leisure but being there must have been awesome.
It was awesome to go. I used to go every year! But then I went back to a desk job and couldn't take the time off and I got out of that habit. But they have nationals a lot in your neck of the woods. You should attend sometime. You don't have to do the whole week the first time and being able to drive instead of fly cuts down on the expense.
Nationals has been in Spokane twice since 2004 and in Portland once. I think Skate America has been in that area too.
Live competitions are just so much better than seeing it on tv. You can meet the skaters and everywhere you go there are people famous in figure skating. Plus the skating is more exciting.0 -
I got to the gym today (yeah!!) and it felt good! I put it on my list as Number 1 and I went there first thing in the morning. I think that is what I need to do to make sure I get my time in. Barbie…your words really helped! I had a lot of paperwork to do today to get ready for my tutoring this week. I also did lots of laundry and cooked for tomorrow night’s dinner (made a turkey chili). I really feel like I accomplished a good deal. I am very tired tonight so I think I will go to bed early and read (such a treat).
Virginia ..It’s great to read your posts. What an incredible job you have done….thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Cathy… I know how you feel. My parents passed a long time ago (Dad- 10 years and Mom – 15 years) and I still miss them so much. It is such a difficult thing because seeing them suffer (both had cancer) was awful and there was a sense of relief for them that they were out of that awful pain. It is really awe inspiring to think of the positive impact a great parent has on your life.
Meg..I am doing the wild ride of menopause and I agree with you…not fun.0 -
Good evening ladies - just a quick hello as I have some bookwork to do tonight and I really don't feel like doing it :sad:
Cathys01 - {{{hugs}}} sorry for you loss
Megathome - I had a hysterectomy when I was 41 - been fighting menopause for the past 10 years - thought I was done about 4 years ago - nothing for almost 2 years and then whammy - night sweats and hot flashes like a bat-out-of-hell .... nothing seems to work for me - tried all kinds of things - if you find something please share
Good luck with the WW thing - that really worked for me - lost 42 lbs in a year - but then put it all back on and too embarrased to go back....
okay it's after 7pm now - I have to get moving if I'm going to get anything done....have a good evening everybody
check back tomorrow....:flowerforyou:0 -
good evening all,
my day started with the best of intentions, dressed and ready for the gym.....BUT, #3 sons car didnt started and he needed to get to school, so NO workouts for me, but i did work at home and got lots done, when he got home in the afternoon i went to the social security office to get a new card, so i can renewed my drivers license, there are a ton of documents that are needed now to renew (i be going the DMV on wednesday), ....on a good note i weigh in today(i am in a chalenge)and i lost a 1lb...YAY me....i lose so slowly its not funny....anyways things are getting complicated and there seems to be little time, dont know how i will get to the gym tomorrow.....
@meg...spinning is a great workout, i highly recommended it....you can start slow and build your endurance...if you enjoy and think you will be doing it regularly i suggested the spinning shoes...you clip on to the bike and you feel the workout alot more on your thighs and legs....good luck...
good nights all:flowerforyou:0 -
Just a quick pop-in. Went back to aquafit today after missing the last 2 Mondays, and back to Spanish this afternoon.
Went to see DBF after swim and after Spanish but not this evening. I actually cancelled my students this evening because there are such large snow-banks along the street that it is very hard to park and the signs have gone up for no parking between 19:00 today and 7:00 tomorrow because they will be by with the big machines to clear up the street. If you are parked, you get towed. If you are on a driveway, you can't get out if they are nearby when you are ready to leave.
Finished one piece of knitting tonight so I need to block and press it tomorrow then I can sew it up. It is for my gr-niece in Scotland. I'll take it when I go across the pond in March/April.
Trying to finish off a piece of lace that has been sitting on my pillow too long.
Good night0 -
Spinning you’ve all got me convinced to go to the Friday class. Now I’m committed. I’ll tell you about it, if I survive!
Travel –
Oh Jackie, I love to travel. The getting ready part is so much fun. We spent a two weeks in Beijing a couple of summers ago but left the rest of China for a trip when we could take a lot of time to explore. Will you be keeping a blog or posting travel stories anywhere? Is the photo of the Taj Mahal in your ticker a trip souvenir or a trip plan?
Gold Stars for Sarah! :flowerforyou: I’m with you, if I don’t plan I don’t do, and if I have goals to meet I have more fun.
JB – I made the muffins and the bean salad (without additions) on Sunday. The muffins are gone (except for the 3 I hid for J’boys lunches) and the bean salad was a hit as topping on a green salad. Thanks for the recipe :happy: I’ll be watching for your next.
Desiree, be sure to post your total miles for January here. I’ll put mine up too, but I can tell you already, you’ll be the walking Queen! :happy:
White hair – it looks elegant, Virginia. I have had a “Cruella deVille” white stripe at my part line for years (just on the right side). Now that that rest of my hair is fading it’s not as dramatic as it used to be. On the other hand, my hair’s getting lighter and I can wear black, which I never used to try. :huh: There are advantages to aging. Lefties unite!
MacMadame, are you a figure skater? Or is that your favorite sport to photograph?
Gym is #1 :drinker: Yes, Sally, I have to make getting to the gym my #1 priority after work and making sure J’boy is safe and more-or-less happy. (Is a 14 year old every just happy?) I go right after work and it sparks me up for the evening routine chores.
Hasta pronto,
Nancy :yawn:
PS I think I'm in love
Campbell's Gardennay Harvest Mushroom Soup - 100 calories/cup and yummy. 0 -
A little time in the evening is barely enough time to read all the post let along doing any.
I did not have a good week again but I am determined that this week will be better. I need to stop making excuses and buckle down.
Everyone have a terrific week.
Susan0 -
I can't believe it's the end of January already! It's flown past and I've just been mega busy.
Not had time to read posts for the past couple of days - but hoping you are all ok. That new bairns (including furry ones!) are doing well (oh - good luck with the new grandtwins when they arrive - you are going to love them!) and that fiances/husbands/parents and all over loved ones are behaving well and doing better.
Love to you all.
Amanda x0 -
I'm back from the US National Figure Skating Championships. I had a blast and lost some weight too!
:drinker: Ooo . . . lucky you!! I was watching them on TV. Would have loved to see them in person!!0 -
:grumble: :grumble: :explode: :mad: I hate this laptop! If it's not putting words in the middle of the previous sentence, it's lost my post
:sad:
:ohwell: :ohwell: Calm down - think the menopause hormones are raging today.:blushing:
The kittens are at the vets - just waiting for the call to say we can go and collect them but I think it will be a few hours yet.
I've used my time off work constructively by clearing/sorting out the cloakroom. I'm now catching up with all the little jobs I don't usually have time for. Well I will do after I post this.
So far so good I've stuck to my planned eating (mind you it's not quite dinner time yet :bigsmile: :bigsmile: so maybe a bit too soon to start celebrating)
Time to move plus it's not doing my blood pressure any good using the laptop. I don't know why it is acting this way.
Happy Tuesday everyone
Viv xx0 -
HAPPY Tuesday everyone. A new month and a new goal. Stepped on the scale this morning and was down 2 lbs... total of 3 lbs. Feeling good... Hope you all have an amazing day0

good morning everyone! I'm on vacation! I've had an absolutely lovely time thus far, and only 1 evening of eating poorly. A small group of high school friends all met down in Ocala, FL for a long weekend of gabbing and visiting and laughing and just enjoying each other's smiles and hugs. What a wonderful visit, and one we've all agreed will be an annual event!
Now I'm over at my dad's home in Sarasota until Friday. He's 84 and thankfully lives wtih his partner because he's become wobbly on his feet and recently fell and is badly bruised on his face, left arm and hand. I asked if he'd been to a get Xrays but he believes it's just bruising and strain. He's soaking in warm water to bring down the swelling. I have to trust him, he's a doc himself, tho long ago stopped renewing his license. I'd be happier if he'd go have it looked at, it's very swollen and ugly. But he uses his hand without wincing and apparently minimal pain, so I'm hoping he's diagnosed it correctly.
I'm going to walk around his complex today. If I take all the little side streets etc., I should get in a couple of miles. It's the first real exercise since I started traveling. I will do this daily, while the air is fresh and cool.
I am so very behind on the posts, tried to catch up a bit on this one but goodness there are so many.
Prayers to everyone!

:flowerforyou: Good afternoon all ..........
I was supposed to go out shopping today and...use up some £off vouchers at an Italian restaurant for lunch.
But ...I was a real couch potato yesterday (No ...I didn't do my latino DVD) Had Spag. Bol for tea and ate yet more peanut butter late last night.:sad: I paid for my sins though....I felt so bloated all night. Pains (IBS) in my sides and ...dare I say it? ..bum! I think it's nuts that do it...also things like broccoli too. Soooo ...I couldn't face yet more pasta today and to be honest I didn't really need to go shopping either.:laugh: DH breathed a sigh of relief!!
:glasses: Nancy ...The Taj Mahal photo is indeed a lovely reminder of a holiday in India. It is magical! DH and I do like to travel and we've decided that we must do it all NOW!! The cost of travel insurance will rocket for us after next year as DH especially will reach 65.With his medical history (Quad bypass etc) premiums will be prohibitive.
We made a list of our "Must Sees" and will try and do most of them! We've done India's Taj Mahal, Valley of the Kings and Pyramids of Egypt,Sri Lanka, Bali, St. Petersburg in Russia, Alaska and next is.... China. We have our thinking caps on and maybe will "Do" more of Europe next year ie Rome, Florence, turkey and Greece.Where do we stop as there's so much to see!! .......Methinks when the money runs out!!
Then we'll be a little more ...sedate. Maybe!!.... Cathy ... I feel your sadness at the loss of your Father. It's coming up to a year now that my mum passed away. I looked after her for four years as she battled with Dementia and my thoughts are with her daily.
Hope you're all having a good week so far ....I'm sooo glad you're all here...keeping me on the straight and narrow. In my case though...more straight and :ohwell: not so much of the narrow!!!
:flowerforyou: BFN

Tuesday good news day! The good news is it's not raining and I can go "wogging" on the track without rain gear. I call it wogging since it's a combo of very fast walking and jogging, alternating 20-30 second intervals of each. I'm slowly building up strength. At first I could only wog for 10 minutes, now I'm up to 20. Happy about that!
Now to address this nagging backache that's been bugging me for a week...time to stretch it out and do some Yoga. It's either from too much time spent sitting at the computer or from stress. Yes, even happy-go-lucky musicians with their heads in the clouds have stress. Haha.
Nancy, I made a low-fat blueberry crisp over the weekend, it's nowhere near as good as the blueberry muffins and twice the price in calories. Glad to hear the muffins and bean salad were a success. I'll be having bean salad again today, it's so darned good. Hope you got the note about adding the vinegar.
Good day to all.
:^) jb0 -
:flowerforyou: Vy, great job. You are an inspiration and I love your posts. Cathy, so sorry for your loss. My dad died in 2007 and I still miss him. Wish I could talk to him again. He was such an interesting human being. The day has just started for me and I am not feeling too badly. Hopefully whatever I had, whether it was a bug or food poisoning, is on its way out permanently. Had an egg and some porridge this morning, and a little bit of coffee.
Have a great day!

Jane - I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you, and I am sending prayers from Kansas. Praying for strength and for resolution of your problem.
Virginia - I can relate to the premature gray. I got my first gray hair at the age of 10, and it was a gradual process after that. Two of my three daughters appear to be following right along.
MacMadame - I am so jealous that you got to go to the nationals! I looked for you on my TV, but didn't find you.
Michele - I am snacking on roasted garbanzos while I catch up with all of you. Thanks for the advice on roasting them!
I hadn't made it here since Friday, and just read the 5+ pages of posts that I had missed. All is good here, I am just really busy. I came to some conclusions about my February goals while doing some thinking while swimming yesterday. I will ponder again while I swim today to see if they stood the 24 hour test, and they will be unveiled on the new thread tomorrow.
Speaking of February, I will repost the birthday list sometime in the next day or so. If you want to be included, and I haven't added you yet, please send me a message with your birthday!
I need to get busy, so I will leave you with one final tidbit.
My quote of the day:
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.

Happy Tuesday! Mary0 -
hello all,
NO GYM TODAY again:explode: :explode: i really need to get my sons car in ths shop....but time is not wasted continued the prepping at home, 2 big dates coming up feb 18(estate sale) and feb 29(moving date).....so lots to do in this month....i need to re-think my goals for february regarding exercise...i know how important it is(specially for my moods)but taking the time to do it everyday might not be the best use of my time....need to think on this...another good day of logging, and in the green numbers, missing workout....tomorrow is bible study class, then dentist, then back to the DMV for license renewal...
lots of you have showen interest in spinning, i recommended it highly, ...its a great workout, you burn tons of calories, and sweat your butt off....something i started doing when i injured my knees(hip and back as well), is to sit in back, in that way i can do my owe thing and not be distracting to others.....i DO NOT do jumps, nor do i spirit while standing(not good for the knees).....oh, one other thing, do the whole class, even if you have to just pedal, but that helps with the endurance....have a great day all:flowerforyou:

Pam - Maybe for February your goal should be to get your exercise in the form of moving items, cleaning, sorting and packing. You can get quite a calorie burn from that! Mary0

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I am happy to see so many here today and so many loosing!! I know it's not going to be a great weigh in this weekend. I had to take provera for 10 days to right some hormone issues. I feel like I've been blown up with an air pump. At least I'm done with them...... Going to try to really :drinker: some extra water and see if that help. Oii. aging isn't easy.
February here we come. It is 65 here today. The birds and flowers think it is Spring.0 -
Went to visit DBF this morning after I'd been for an echo-cardiogram for myself. He must be feeling better because he is complaining about things. I think I've done all the chores he needed doing.
We have snow again, and again and the forecasters are offering a choice of snow or more likely up to 12 hours of freezing rain - I know I'd prefer the snow.
Had my students here this afternoon. One lives about 1.5 hours drive but her husband had to see someone in the hospital so he drove her. I don't think she would have come because of the weather, if he hadn't been coming in to town.
I called the furnace company to see when the part would be in. I was told, it was on the truck and the guy was on his way to me and she was just going to call me to let me know. 2 hours later, I just called back - he is on another job and she will try to contact him and let me know when he will be here. They'd better hurry up because I really don't want to wait until the weather gets even worse than it is now before I go back to the hospital to visit DBF.0 -
:flowerforyou: Tuesday and it's the end of the month...WOW where did January go???:huh:
To those that have had success this month:flowerforyou: YEAH! YOU! For those that are struggling, there is always a new day tomorrow
To those that are still feeling the loss of your parent (s) {{{Hugs}}} around. My parents are both gone too Dad in Aug 2009 and Mom in Oct 2010 and since I was their only child I really feel their loss. But I find that when I look at pictures of them they always bring a smile to me as I remember happy times:happy:
To all of us in menopause:sad: we can only hope it hurries up and gets us to the other side. I have found that evening primrose, black cohose and Vit B Complex have held all the "uglyness" away. When I stop taking any of those three then I have hot flashes, and many other not so pleasant experiences:sick: So far it really hasn't been as bad as I had heard for which I am truly thankful
Well it's the end of the quarter, and my bookkeeper came in and helped me and it made these last two weeks not seem quite a painful.
I'd best get back to the piles of papers on my desk.
Everyone have a good evening, drink your water:drinker: and get up and get moving.
Laura
Well for my first month back I've lost 6# so I'm glad for a good start:bigsmile:0 -

mary, thanks for the suggestion, and i think that i will also wear my pedometer when i am working around the house, at least seeing the steps will be helpful....:flowerforyou:0
