    It's Wednesday!

    Half way point! We had a little issue last night with Day's mom but again, such is life... She is very hurtful and nasty to Day and I. It is ok for me, but Day does everything possible and then some for her. Why is it that way? Just venting!

    Spoke with both girls yesterday and they are fine. We are going Sunday to hear Sam's Honor Recital. 4 hour drive each way. Great to hear and see Sam but the drive sucks. It will be our last one. Kind of sad in that regard. Man I have got to get out of this frame of mind! LOL

    I have still been training hard. I think that I am going to do my first triathlon in June. There is one the next county to the west in Warsaw, Indiana the last of June. I got on my new bike yesterday and rode a bit. It works great but my butt is sore from the riding. I didn't think that it would be an issue but it was! I will have to get my bike shorts out. They have a padded seat. My
    "natural" padding is not what it used to be before the weight loss! My time was good averaging about 19 miles per hour for 7 miles. I have also upped my weight and reps for my strength training. My shoulders, arms and abs really feel it today. Keith, the guy I am training, and training with, has now lost 14 pounds in just under 3 weeks! He is doing great. He should plateu very soon and then it will become more diet work than physical work. Oh to be that age (27) again! LOL Yoga tonight! The knee is hurting again. I am going to try a few things here myself before going back to the doctor again. Chair height, posture, etc.

    Vil glad to have you as a new friend! Ask anything at any time!

    Marie it won't be too long before its gardening time for you southeners!

    Barbie and Jake glad you are back safe and sound!

    Gayla! No snow and warm temps are just a cruise away!

    Sandy arn't you about ready for a casino trip? Day and I get pretty much 100% comped at Blue Chip. I think we are going soon.

    Barb I hope the soreness is short lived!

    Elli I am glad that the family is doing well. That makes me smile! Any new dead critters around??? LOL

    That is about it from Columbia City for now. One last thing. Joe the cat got into a bowl of M&M's. He will live but I am sure he does not think so right now! The vet said he would be fine, miserable for a while, but fine. That guy gets into everything from my coffee to the fresh flowers on the table. Fresh flowers are a favorite of mine, they are a happy thing! Day gets some every now and then at Krogers. I truly see the beauty, they seem peaceful.

    Everyone have a great day and hug yourself! You have earned it!

    Happy Wednesday,

    Busy Morning with having to get to my DIL house to sit for Marisa who just got out of bed so her mom could go to a school breakfast.
    Brought Daisy with so she could have a play date with their dog.:laugh: Once I got home I can't tell you where the time went, but here it is afternoon and I feel I didn't accomplish a thing. :frown: Soon it iis time to pick up my other granddaughter for dance and then tonight is bingo night. :bigsmile: Time goes so fast when we get older doesn't it?

    Jeffrey, sorry your MIL gets nasty with you and Day, did you mention how old she is and if she suffers from dementia? It is hard to watch those we love not enjoy life, deep down inside I am sure she loves you and Day and inwardly feels bad when she hurts either of you. I remember how much my MIL loved me but when she got really sick and had dementia she got really mean to me. She used to think I was my husband's first wife and would say some really bad things. It did hurt but I knew that wasn't the lady who loved me so much. Sad isn't it? :brokenheart:

    Barbie and Jake, welcome back. Again, nice to know you are human and ate without recording and even some restaurant food.:drinker: No worries about the two of you getting back on track, I would bet you didn't even gain an ounce. :laugh:

    Gayla, I couldn't agree with you more, trying on swim suits is worse than the dentist. Is there something wrong with the mirrors in those fitting rooms? There are areas of my body no one should see not even me.:laugh: All kidding aside what does it matter as long as you have a good time and get to enjoy some warm weather? No one really does look at us, we just think they are.:tongue:
    Hope Neil is doing better and is getting ready for his trip.:flowerforyou:

    Marie, you are well loved not only on this site but on face book. :heart:

    Time to get a little r and r before leaving to get Bryanna.

    Talk to you soon.

    Marie,

    For what it is worth, Barbiecat has two Standard Poodles, not Cocker Spaniels, but they have plenty of escapades. They didn't get to be "The Naughties" by being well-behaved!!!:laugh: :laugh:

    Happy Thursday, the sun is shining but the temperature is only 8 degrees. :glasses: I had a good night at bingo winning three games for a total of $113, not bad huh? The funny thing is last week my granddaughter said win at bingo tonight grandma and I didn't, so this week she said don't win at bingo and I did, go figure. :laugh:

    Instead of bringing any junk food to bingo I brought a veggie plate with dip and a melon fruit bowl. We are all dieting so it was appreciated. :blushing: Those couple of wines weren't good, but it is my night out. :cry: Will see if I can get in a good exercise today to make up for those extra calories. :happy:

    Good luck at the eye doctor Marie, normal check-up? It is that time of year again to get a check-up and all the tests that go with it.
    I better schedule that today so I can get it all over with and enjoy the warm weather when it does come. Most important is my knees since they are really bothering me lately. I need to get those shots to lubricate the cartilage, they really help. I think one day I will need knee replacement but I just can't get myself to do that yet. :ohwell:

    Enjoy your day, take care of yourself before anyone else. :heart:

    Hello Everyone!

    Just got back from the dentist. He must have a house payment due or kids in college. I have 5 teeth that they are working on. I should be done with this go around mid February. I have lost track of all my root canals and crowns. I think 12 root canals and 13 or 14 crowns. Well at least they are sitll original equipment!

    It has been quite hectic lately. One of our friends had a heart attack and my MIL's lawyer died. The lawyer is also my MIL's ex SIL. She was 88 and still practicing! I really liked her. Sharpest personal attorney I had ever met. She will be well received.

    Training was good last night with the yoga. Feel great today. The knee is not quite as bad. Joe the cat is feeling better. The M&M's has been put away. Today he has spent his day watching the birds at the feeder. He loves that show.

    We had a little snow about 2" which made the roads very slick. We are also having high winds that are really blowing it around. And it is cold!

    That is about it for now. Everyone have a great day!

    Sandy would you loan me $113.00?

    Marie I hope the eve doctor goes well.

    DeeDee good to hear from you!

    Everyone else have a great day! Stay warm!

    Happy Thursday Afternoon everyone! Hope you're all having a great day!

    Oh Jeffrey - I'm SO sorry about your teeth!!!!!!! I definitely feel your pain. Sorry Gayla and Sandy - i have to disagree - NOTHING is worse than going to the dentist!!!!!!!!! Give me labor and delivery anytime! :laugh: And no - no dead critters to report! This is a GOOD thing! Poor Joe! Glad he's recuperating from the m&m fiasco! Yoga always helps stuff doesn't it? I'm headed back to hot yoga tomorrow evening. I'm a little nervous - but i HAVE to get back to it! I went on a blind date last night, set up by a mutual friend, and the man said to me "you eat hot yoghurt????????":laugh: :laugh: umm, nooooo - i DO hot YOGA!

    Sandy - congratulations on a good night at bingo AND bringing healthy snacks! GOOD JOB!

    Hi Marie - hope your eye appointment goes well. It will be good to be done with docs for a little while! I get started next month:sick: ugh. I'm not crazy about docs but i'm going to run out of cholesterol med.........DARN. So now i hafta do all the "routine" stuff too. :grumble:

    Aw Barb - i didn't WANT to be right about you being more sore the second day - i just know that's always the case for me. Sounds like you're managing the aches pretty well though with your "friends":wink: Hope you're feeling better today!

    Barbie and Jake - welcome home! How did the naughties (and you KNOW i say that with LOVE!) do in your absense???? I'm sure you did fine even without keeping track of everything. There are some days that are just like that. You do AMAZING almost all of the time!

    Beth - i'm so glad your b/f is back from Iraq! Hope you're getting some time together! I bet he thinks you look gorgeous!!!!!!

    OK - i better get back to work! Gotta run to town to do some banking OH!!!!!! I almost forgot! My younger boy called last night and told me he's getting a tax refund SOOOOOOOOOOO - he went and put some money down on an engagement ring!!!!!!!!!!!!:heart::flowerforyou: :drinker: I couldn't BE more thrilled!!!!!!! I love his g/f - they've been together for 6 years already - i'm SO SO SO SO happy!!!!!!!

    Hi All,
    Just a quick note... Thanks for all the ideas on what to eat but I am way past help at this point I am allowed 1200 a day for my calories and today I added over 1368 more with excercise... May I suggest not going to PT for 60 minutes than taking a 60 minutes spinning class (my lunch) and after I leave here in a few I have a 60 minutes yoga class... PT was all cardio so my suggestion to you is just dont do it... there is no way in the world to eat all those calories!!! Maybe its why I am stuck and havent lost I am not eating enough but heck at this rate I would be stuffing my face all day.
    More later when I can answer you all... I need to catch up on Elli's date evidently :)

    Hi everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. It is warmer and the machines are out clearing all the snow from last week. Tonight is our live theater night and we always go out for dinner first. I am looking forward to our girl's night out. Neil has been struggling with seizures and we are again seeing some behavior issues. I think it is again med. related so I will try to get in touch with his neurologist this afternoon. Last time I emailed him he responded in seconds so will give that another try. I am struggling to get back on track. I haven't been terrible but not as good as I should be.

    Way to go Sandy!! Do you bingo with the same people you play cards with?

    Jeffrey -- You handle the inquisition well, it sounds like you have had some experience.

    elli -- I hope the new guy brings you happiness. How nice to be getting another dil. My youngest has been with his girlfriend for about seven years but has not taken the plunge. I am not sure what he is waiting for. She is a wonderful girl and loves him so much.

    marie -- How did the eye appt. go? These docs really keep you on your toes!

    beth -- Maybe you should chat with a dietician. It does seem odd that you aren't dropping any weight. Do you still need to lose or are you at your goal?

    Barb-- How are you doing?

    Barbie and Jake -- Glad you are home. I am sure you did fine in the eating department. You are like well oiled machines.

    take care everyone. Keep smiling. Gayla :heart: :smile:

    High everyone, sorry, I don't know where the time goes. It is 3 weeks today since I got sick and I am still only at about 80 percent.

    During this bronchitis I have lost 12-14 pounds in this short time. Actually I thought that I must really be really really sick to be losing weight. I figured that I was going to blow my head off coughing and pull every muscle out of my body! ... Today I used my 3 hours of energy pushing furniture around the living room and putting some sliders on the bottom of the T.V. Okay that is it for the day I will need to finish up tomorrow. The thing that blew my mind is that i was not dieting!

    I am sorry I have not kept up on all of you and I hope you are all doing well and everything is all right. Keep safe and take care you cute group of golden sneakers! How many of you have a pair of golden sneakers?
  • Great posts. What a fun bunch you are. I'm glad I found you! :laugh:
  • This may sound silly to those of you who have everything under control. But.........................my little great granddaughter "begged" to go to McDonald's to get ice cream and french fries this afternoon (She dips the fries in the ice cream). Now, I ask you, how could I turn down the sweetest child in Spokane?

    So my husband and I took her there. It was about a half hour before my dinner time.................and there were huge pictures everywhere of the most beautiful food you can imagine! My husband:devil: said, "Why don't you just get something here and you won' t have to cook when we get home." I wavered.............I stumbled...............I almost blew it.............BUT I came to my senses and just ordered coffee, then had a nutritious dinner when I got home.:smile:

    One battle won! It feels good! Besides I had a big tasty dinner with fewer calories and better nutrients than a burger.

    Good Evening!

    I just had to check back in to see if Elli had read my post! I laughed all day about that!

    Elli good for you! I have had as much fun with the questions as you had on the date! Nah, bet I am wrong!

    Beth be sure your protein is not going too high. It can mess things up if it does. If you are still having trouble with not getting enough calories try a little ice cream, just don't over do it. I have had to up my calories in advance of my workouts by 24 hours so I have enough fuel. It has increased my performance dramitically. I have a copy of a white paper that I will try to send you. It deals with nutrition for endurance athletes. It was done by Nestle and is pretty darn good.

    Gayla, just send me your questions for Elli and I will ask them! LOL I don't have a lick of sense! I have raised 2 girls and I will ask ANYTHING! And I have! I scare the crap out of those young boys! LOL One of my favorite things to do!

    Viliberty I was wondering where you were! Good for you on the McDonalds it is tough! Just stick some trail mix in your purse for those kind of emergencies. Proud of you kid!

    Sandi glad to see you back and that you are feeling better. Do not get dehyrated! Sports drinks help with that!

    Tonights workout was good! I am beat! I am down about 1900 calories for the day with an average of negative 2050 daily for the week. I have been eating but working it off and then some. I am going to go and have a snack.

    Marie where you at girl? How did the eye doc trip go?

    Night all!

    Hello All,

    First time on here today. Went back to work for part of the day this afternoon.

    This morning I had to take my car for an oil change, and since it is one of the Toyotas affected by the recall that is all over the news, I had a little chat about that situation. Lucky me--NOT. I DO have one of the recalled accelerator pedals. I have had no problems, and my car only has about 13,000 miles on it.

    They have figured out the problem seems to be caused by wear, and there are symptoms that occur before the pedal will actually stick. I feel a little better about driving than I did before. I already knew the car was able to shift into neutral without applying the brakes, since I have had a couple of instances where doggies got excited and bumped the console shifter while I was driving!!:noway: :laugh: :laugh:

    In the next few weeks, the dealers will be receiving parts and instructions for solving the problem. I am just glad they have figured it out and that it was not an onboard computer problem. Anybody remember "HAL" the computer in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey? I didn't want to drive around worrying that "HAL" was hiding under my hood waiting to take over!!!:noway: :laugh:

    My body aches are pretty well gone, but my hands (palms) still hurt, and so does my nose!! As I said before, the nose as a shock absorber does NOT work well!!:laugh:

    BTW, I have talked to Jake since he and Barbie got back from Phoenix, and I think they are very busy right now with things related to their business. so although they are thinking of us, Barbie is probably too busy to post as much as she was before they took that trip.

    Barb

    EDIT-- I also lost another pound, but forgot to do check in before posting, so it will appear shortly. Can't believe I am almost to 55 lbs. down.

    You Golden Sneakers have been busy today. :laugh: Jeffrey, I loved all your questions to Ellie and you are right, if you hadn't asked them we would have, after all she is our baby sister. :love:

    Marie must have had her eyes dilated and took a break from the computer, I am sure she will be back in the morning.:happy:

    Sandi, sorry you have been sick and that isn't the best way to lose weight but it sounds like you are on the road to recovery. :flowerforyou:

    Viliberty, I think it was great of you to take your granddaughter to Mickey Dee's and have such restraint. You should be proud of yourself for making smart choices, I know that we are proud of you.:drinker:

    Barb, sorry about the recall on your car, but sure is better to be safe than sorry. I drive a Lexus which is made by Toyota but no word on any problems. I am planning on getting a new one is Spring so I hope all is fixed by then.

    Elli, I am so happy you had a good time on your date, should we plan a bridal shower for both you and Birdie, although she hasn't mentioned her friend lately. :laugh: You are having a big year with becoming a grandma and a new engagement for your son, congratulations.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Beth, since Jeffrey is also training for a marathon he is probably the best person to listen to as far as adding calories. I again, wish I had that problem, I am thrilled if I get an extra 200 when exercising. :tongue:

    It is getting late here and time for beddy bye so will check-in in the morning.

    Hi All,
    I have finally had time to sit down and read everything... (OK I am at work waiting on the contractor to do his part till than I am dead in the water)
    I only have a run planned today...I HOPE to get it in before the snow hits... you have no clue how bad people in VA drive in snow conditions...heck I will take the crazy Texans (Not Marie) driving in the snow before these crazy people. It’s only a mile and a half timed run tonight my 5 mile trail run will be in the morning dependent upon the snow. For all of those who wish they had the calorie problem… remember this… I get paid to work out, for lack of a better way to put that but 3 days a week I am given almost 2 hours to work out 30-60 minutes of that is with the squadron and then I am on my own as long as I get to work by roll call…Also I am allowed to take classes during lunch provided I eat at my desk, all my work is done and I have my jobsites under control. The running I do on my own and try and run 3-5 times a week…so the calories are earned by a lot of hard work but also a lot of time from work.

    Marie – How is the therapy going? Have you looked into going to water aerobics? I loved the classes I took a couple years ago…

    Vliberty - I am so proud of your McD’s restraint that is an awesome battle you won

    Gayla – I have an Aunt who has said the same thing… except she is a dietician and she tells me it’s time to see if I have thyroid issues. She tore apart my diet and also told me to eat more to lose more. Eat more protein and fiber

    Elli – So spill about the blind date…though him thinking you were eating hot yogurt (icky by the way) is kind of funny…so do you like the hot yoga? There is a studio down the road and I want to try but have avoided it so far.

    Sandi – Sorry about the bronchitis…that is a no joke sickness that seems to effect everything in your life till its taken care of.

    Sandy – Did the decorations come down? Mine are down and have been for 3 dang weeks BUT…they still have not made it back into the garage… I so need to get that done this week

    Dee Dee – good luck on the weigh in I love your attitude

    Jeffery – you remind me of a friend of mine named Gordon… he will ask anyone anything  AS for the sheet if you can send it that would be great my email address is this name at aol.com
    I have been keeping track and I think I am not taking in enough protein but we shall see I have someone looking into that as we type. Hope Joe is better he sounds like he is part goat.

    Enjoy your weekend all... I am going to sit down and map my classes for the next week :)

    Hey I am still around. My eyes are doing fine as expected. Having problems with dry eyes and need to increase tear drops. He is going to put a temporary tear duck in on my next visit in 4 months and if it works he will put a permament one in. He would have done it yesterday but with the drops he already used he couldn't do it and t he insurance would not pay for it after all the test he alrady done.

    Today is a rest day aftter almost a solid month of going to the docs and thearpy. during the month of Jan.

    Hey elli, big brother looking out for you. I really thinks he is looking out for all of us. He is such a sweetheart.

    Tis time to get my home exercise in. They have me using one of those big balls and rolling my hips from side to side, rolling my knees up to my chest. and pushing my butt up with my leg on the ball. I do all of this in my bed. Then I have some chair exercise to do. I will get the Cd's that Phoebe sent me for Seniors. I really like it. Thanks Phoebe.

    I have read all of your post and I couldn't be prouder of you all. Keep up the good work.

    Love Marie

    Good Morning All,

    There is nothing wrong w/Marie's eyesight. Thanks to her "eagle eyes" she saw the post quoted below on another thread from our friend BARBIECAT:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    :......
    I am officially announcing that I reached my goal this morning .:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I've lowered my goal twice since I started and this is the real one.......my plan for maintenance is to increase my calories by 100 this week and see what happens, then add 100 more next week and so on until I think it's right.......


    Congratulations for one of the most inspiring members on this thread. You have been a source of information and inspiration, and even though you may not be able to post as often as you did in the past. The story of your success will live on to help others strive to avoid straying from the "straight and narrow" path toward the goal to better health and a trimmer waistline.

    I don't usually put words in the mouths of others, despite the fact that I have many to give:laugh: :laugh: but today, I think I can speak for everyone when I say:

    :flowerforyou: CONGRATULATIONS BARBIECAT!!!:flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: WAY TO GO!!!:bigsmile: We hope you will continue to drop in and inspire us from time to time now that you have reached maintenance.

    Happy Friday Everyone! And can i just say one thing? I love you guys!:heart: You make me smile!:bigsmile:

    Gayla! How's Neil doing? You were saying the other day he was having more seizures and some behavior stuff....I hope it all gets resolved before the cruise!!!!!!! Will you be able to keep in touch with us while you're cruising??? WOW - 7 years is a long time! How old is your youngest son? Dakota will be 23 on Sunday - it amazes me they've been together as long as they have for as young as they are! Makes me happy though. I adore Katie and could not have hand picked a better girl for Kota! I can't WAIT for him to ask her!!!!!

    Sandi - WOW! NOT a good way to lose weight! make sure you rest and get completely well before you start moving too much more furniture around!!!!!! Or get some HELP!

    Viliberty! Way to GO at Mickey D's! Pretty soon you're not even going to think that food looks good! It would be VERY hard to resist the little ggranddaughter though...........

    Beth - i'm a little envious right now. I wish Jeffrey were suggesting I eat some ice cream......my most FAVORITE thing in the world. :ohwell: no no - step AWAY from the ice cream (me, not YOU!) Yes - i do hot yoga (Bikram Yoga) and i LOVE it. They say it burns between 600 and 1200 calories during the 90 minute class - depending on how hard you work. I'm going this afternoon! Of course, with all the calories you burn alREADY, it may not be a great idea for right now. I feel like of all the different work outs i've done this is the MOST beneficial, in every way. OH - i remember driving in ice storms in TX when i used to drive truck. I totally agree with the people driving in weather they're not used to driving in (no, of COURSE not Marie!!!!!!!!) SO scary!

    Barb - congratulations on ANOTHER pound lost! You are doing AMAZING! Getting right up there with Jeffrey, Barbie, Beth, Birdie.........our BIG loosers.........ohhhhhhhh, hope i didn't 4get ne1!!!!!!!!! SORRY if i did!:embarassed: Bummer about the car - i sure hope they get that thing figured out soon. My Dad's wife drives a camry - I haven't asked them yet what they're going to do about it....It's going to effect SO many people!

    Jeffrey, Sandy, Gayla, Thanks for checking up on me! I haven't gotten back together with the blind date - we tentatively have plans for next week. Hopefully he liked me as much as i liked him! We'll see though. He sure did like my little Hercky dog!:bigsmile: That's a good thing right? Oh and btw Jeffrey - you ARE kind of agitator you know!:bigsmile: in a good way though!

    Um Sandy? let's hold off on the shower how 'bout it?:laugh: My dil said "is he cute? are you seeing him again? do you love him?" OY!:tongue: funny people!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you on the congrats for my big year!!!!!!! Today my dil is 12 weeks along! I feel like we can all relax a bit! SO exciting!!!!!!!!

    Hey Marie - i'm so GLAD you're getting a break from the doctors! Sounds like the exercises on the fit ball will be good! I really like those things. I use them sometimes for women in labor!

    Well - tomorrow i'm burning weeds, Sunday is Kota's birthday so don't know if i'll be on over the weekend. If not - i hope you all have a GREAT one (well, hope you have a great one if i DO get to post also:laugh: silly me!) Wish me luck at yoga tonight - it's been awhile. I'm excited about getting back to it though! I'm doing better on food - no weight loss yet, but it'll happen..........

    :heart: & hugs. elli
