Hi Everyone!
Stephanie - my baby is also finishing pre-k and starting K in the fall. Crazy as I had 1 in the K class when he was born, now he's the last :-(
Michelle me too - nuggets pizza and PBJ so hard....
2.93 mi today all walking. Didn't have heart to make dog run - from snow to 80 degrees F @ 5:45a in 6 or 8 weeks. Crazy weather.

At least with grandkids you can send them home.
A clear sign of my advancing age.
Well, I guess I am in trouble then!! I have one starting kindergarten and a senior in high school, not to mention the two grandkids who are a year and two years behind my kindergartener!! Yes, I lost my mind. Pretty sure someone sold it on eBay....0 -
Crosbylee - you're getting to enjoy the full gamut of life. I am hoping to be a youngish fun grandma like my mother-in-law. I had kids @ 30, 31 and 35. So if they delay having kids as long.... 60-65 isn't old but my mom is not in good health so it has me a bit worried. So here I am trying not just to be skinny but fit. She's not skinny or fit - some by luck and some by choice.

Funny thing about age. I have dreamed all my life about seeing Italy and Spain. At 46 I am finally going this next week, but I am more excited to share the experience with my kids than I am for finally doing something I have always wanted.
Yay for Europe travel! I love Italy!!
We are seeing Iceland, Paris, the Netherlands and Germany for a month this summer with our 12- and 13-year old kidlets.
BOOM!

Hello to everyone.
It has been getting hot here, and we finally had to put our ac's in the windows. Thank goodness. Humidity and me don't get along well. My brother will be here tomorrow for a very short visit from AZ, so we will be running around showing him the sights and visiting. It will be so nice to see him, but wish he could stay longer than 1 1/2 days. I also have 4 ladies from my miniature quilt group coming Monday for lunch and our reveal and new project. I finally have picked a project and have it all ready for them. Also been trying to clean up around the house which is not fun when it's hot and humid.
I went to town with my 19 year old daughter, did a little shopping. I was looking for shorts for my son, it's getting hot at school and his shorts were too small. Found some thing for both of them, as my daughter has lost quite a bit or weight so glad she found some things. We had lunch at chipotle (new in town) holy cow, was it ever so good, their shredded beef is wonderful.
Made beef and veggie stir fry for dinner tonight. It was good, but could of been a little more flavorful.
I hope you all are doing well. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Well it was combat conditioning tonight. Crazy exercises she sets up. Strength, cardio, core and endurance. This after a day supervising a group of grade 2s at the water festival. Luckily the weather was perfect. Sunny and no humidity, though it was getting hot by the afternoon.
Got to the chiro tonight too who was rather taken aback by how tight my upper back area was and what I've managed to do to my shoulder. He says the joint is not dislocated but the tendon is inflamed. Soo I'm to stretch gently and if I feel it while doing exercises I need to stop. Apparently I have a fairly high pain threshold so I don't notice when is"painful" and I keep going. Truthfully I'm stubborn and I find that a bit laughable since I'm the first to whine when I hurt myself!
Sounds like an awesome trip Chakra
Kellysue hope you can figure out a way to fit workouts in the new schedule
Nickpnh I'm in the same boat. I had kids at 33 35 and 37 and my mom is now 80 and not able to get around much at all. Trying to stay fit so I'll be able to play with my kids and grand kids.

Good Morning Cool Kids. {I'm looking forward to KS's Happy Friday post}
Yesterday afternoon when I was in town, I picked up two kinds of apple persimmon and another olive tree. I have to get those in the ground this morning. Also need to plant a 2nd crop of banana cantaloupe. The first one was pretty sad. Mamma has requested a few of those seeds as well. Her garden is so full I don't know where she will put them. These everyday storms are playing havoc with my sweet corn, Iraqi cucumbers and tomatoes. The Filipino pole beans need spraying, but with me going to work at regular Friday time {1300}, there is just no way I'll get it done today. {This will be a 2 wedding weekend at work. Don't see too many of those}
Welcome to all the new guys and hello to everyone else. Got to run. Hope everyone has a good weekend,
Larro
The numbers for the week: {0.3 pound loss}
20.4% Body Fat
23.6 BMI
169.1 Pounds
Here is two days of acorn squash. One day in the plate and the saved seeds, the second day with the seeds back in the garden.

Thanks- but that's not what I meant. He visits with me on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Fun times! We are going to be grandparents again in Dec/Jan though!GlacierGirl907 wrote: »Congrats Kellysue67on the new grand baby . I'm not even ready for that yet
Here's the Friday pic:
Went to our annual meeting last night. It was nice. 20 years seems like forever, but has gone by fast!
I got my car back yesterday, but the guy that brought it back was directionally challenged- even with a GPS! I tried to run out to the street to flag him down when he drove past where I work, but almost fell flat on my face in pain from this whole achilles business. Any how, I have been hobbling ever since so I did not work out this morning. I will see how it is through the weekend, but may have to make an appointment if it doesn't get better.
Have a good day all!

OMG!!!! I'm laughing so hard right now!! Bottomless is a state park, they have a few small lakes, but only one of them is open for swimming ..... Lea Lake which is where we go often....
Larro, wow that meal looked delicious, and your garden is lovely!

I'm 44 and am starting my journey. I'd love to join this group.0

Hey guys,
I would love to join your group, please let me know how to do that. I am 46 and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. My husband and I decided to eat clean and healthy. He has lost about 40lbs so fast while I am struggling and have lost only 10 lbs. I feel totally alone.

Slbuchanan. It can be frustrating to lose weight and men tend to lose faster then women. They usually have a faster matabolism. Don't give up. Eat clean, get active and find something active your enjoy. That helps.0
