WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2013

Hi again, I have really been lurking (and reading the posts) for almost the whole month. It helps so much to get good advice and read about the trials and triumphs here.
For the first time since I started here I had a bit of a bad week. But...nowhere near as bad as it would have been a year ago. So I consider that pound or two temporary. And now I am pretty much back on track, getting to zumba three times a week and eating correctly.
Even though I can't seem to reply to individuals, I am thinking of all of you with the health and work problems. Soon it will be spring and things will seem better for you I hope.
Have a wonderful weekend. Eileen near San Diego0 -

I did it! I ate sardines.
I haven't eaten a sardine since I was a child and my mother would stick them still with their little heads attached, dripping in oil, between two slices of bread with mayonnaise. I remember they didn't taste badly, but I just couldn't get past the ick factor.
In my quest to run the 10 miler in May, I have to bump my protein way up and fat way down (hence the fixation with powdered peanut butter, which, incidentally, I have not yet put behind me), and sardines fit the bill. They are also a great source of vitamin D. If you have to watch cholesterol rigidly or sodium, you may want to research before adding to your food plan.
If you can find the headless, scaled, packed in water ones, you'll be hard pressed to find a food that packs so much protein, calcium and also iron into its "little body." I put them in a very tasty salad and I can't say I even tasted them at all.
But at least this time, they weren't staring at me.

Michele...I just read about the big accident at Daytona. Praying that you are okay. Eileen0

grandmallie - listen to your body, it's working hard fighting your cold. Let it do its thing and then you'll get to the gym. Feel better fast. I posted about the brownie and wheat bran. I don't recall the calorie count, etc off hand, but I do have it in MFP's database as "WW recipe from a friend". If you still can't find it, I'll send the nutritionals to you. Let me know if you need them. I ran it thru my Mastercook so that's how I got the nutritionals. They help to curb my chocolate craving in addition all the wheat bran in them makes me drink extra water. I can usually finish 24 or 34 oz with one muffin, then I'm really full. The calorie count in the database is for one of 12 muffins. Have a great time at the concert
Jane in SC - congrats on making good food choices. My sodium has been high lately and I know it's because I've been having frozen dinners. Need something that's one serving for the condo. I'm not crazy about cooking a full meal down here, don't have all the utensils, pots, etc. So I make do. Have a good time in FL.
Jackie - jerky is high in protein. Unfortunately, it's also high in sodium.
Speaking of protein -- went to Daytona today. Before the race we walked around by the trailers. One place was giving out free samples of turkey or beef jerky. Even tho I checked the ingredients, I decided to try the turkey jerky. I've had the buffalo jerky which doesn't have any added sugars etc in it, that I could really taste the sugar in this jerky. At least it was only a sample.
Eileen - we're fine. Actually, when the accident happened, I was in the mall across the street. But Vince did see it. He said he thought there must have been about 25 ambulances in the infield. Honestly, they probably called for all the ambulances, even if they weren't needed. The ambulances did have police escorts to the hospital. Our seats are something like row 49, the debris went to something like 25.
We went to Picadilly Cafeteria. I got what they called crab stuffed baked fish. Honestly, I couldn't see any crab at all, it looked like a piece of cod to me. I had a baked potato and mixed fruit (my 2 sides) and the peas and sugar snap peas that I brought with me.
We'll go back up there tomorrow. Not quite sure what the story was about Danica's not going back into the race. I heard on the scanner that her crew got the car started, not sure why she didn't go back into the race.
Hope everyone has a great evening.
Michele from NC0 -
Hi lovely friends. We had a great day. It was family day so we drove about 150 miles south to northwest Missouri to the Squaw Creek Wildlife Refuge to see the snow geese that are migrating early. We watched thousands of them come in and I swear I really didn’t know there were that many geese in the entire world. We also saw ducks and about a dozen bald eagles. It was absolutely amazing!!! We plan to go back later in the year; we didn’t get to hike too much because the trails were either closed or covered with snow and you couldn’t see them. We did some flat land walking and climbed a very small trail uphill that ended up being about ½ mile.
Judy: great video, thanks. It does look like fun!
Wessecg: envisioning you giving up all your size 10s in june! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM meditating on it! You will make it!
Jane martin: hope your lab results come back good
Sue: yes I should take my own advice more often LOL. I’ve played golf in 42 degree weather! I’ve swam outside in 42 degree weather! I’m with you though….I wish I hadn’t LOL
Jo: enjoy what’s left of your visit!
Farasgrandau: welcome to our group!
Lynda; welcome to you too!
Barbie: I must have you fooled LOL> I work way too much and wish I had more time to spend with family. We do have a family day each month and game night each week, and a parent-daughter day each month too. I have to admit sometimes I don’t want to participate because I want to work, but I know I will regret it later if I choose work over doing those things. My family never did anything together and I really wanted to, so I made it a priority to have these scheduled times so if we don’t get to do anything else during the month, we know we have these dates saved.
Jmkmomm: that is a horrible dining experience. We have Denny’s here too but they are all really awful.
Bridgekiki: welcome to our group!
Michelle; I love mahi mahi. I grew up in Hawaii and ate it all the time. Enjoy! So sorry to hear about the ER experience; hope Vince is feeling better now.
Renny: good grief! I hope you get the right prescription this time!
Determined; have fun at that birthday party! Sounds like you have a good plan.
DeannaHarris: ditto Barbie. It is very helpful to open your diary so other people can give you suggestions.
Grumpy DeeDee:,. Cat tongue ? That is hilarious, but so descriptive. I know exactly what you mean. Sorry you are out of sorts; I hope that little birdie outside your window cheers you up. Just think; he’s happy if he finds a worm! Take care of that leg. Sending my friend happy thoughts and good wishes.
LindaC: I converted your blood sugars to our readings and the 6’s aren’t bad at all. Even the 8+ isn’t horrible, but you’re right…you don’t want it that high. It sounds like you are working hard at this…keep up the good work!
Grandmallie: hope you enjoyed your concert and are feeling better. I think you should take it easy while you have this bad cold.
Jane: good for you to make the best choices possible. I’ve had that happen too where the food is already arranged and you are a captive audience! Water, water, water!
Eileen: hi and nice to see you again. Good attitude to say that your little weight loss is temporary and not just go on and really blow it all.
Jackie: I love sardines, but never have had the ones with heads put together with mayo. BLEH that does sound bad! Well I’m glad you are finding the foods you need to fuel your run!
Michelle: I just read Eileen’s second post about the accident at Daytona…are you OK? WHEW ok your post was next and I see you are fine. That is good, but must have still been scary if Vince saw it
Well ladies I’m tired even if we only did get a little walking in….four hours in the car was long! Enjoy the rest of the evening and take care. Meg0 -
:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: this turned into a busier day than I expected......dog walking.....laundry.......house cleaning ......a nap with all three pets.....and suddenly it's bedtime:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:
Barbie 0 -
Energy is at a low ebb right now and I have no idea why. :noway: Well, maybe it is because we're having rainy weather.
I watched a neighbor outside in a wet suit paddle-boarding this morning, and wondered how she does it, especially in a chilly day with rain squalls and sun breaks. :huh:
Today there were lovely sun breaks and I did get a little walking in. DH is doing well, and I managed to get the scale to go the right direction this morning:bigsmile: , so I should be jumping for joy instead of getting just a little bit of exercise and then taking a nap. :ohwell:
DH has permission for light exercise now.
He took a short walk, too, when we drove down to Prescott Beach County Park so the dog could run. Prescott Beach is next to the Columbia River about 16 miles down river from here. It has been awhile since I've seen DH move around so smoothly. :bigsmile: We saw Arctic Swans along the way. They winter in several ponds beside the highway near Prescott Beach.
Have a good weekend.
Katla in NW Oregon0 -
Good morning beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:
Katla Glad hubby is doing better:flowerforyou: !!! Hooray for the scale going in the right direction!!!! Wish I could get mine to do that
! Sounds like you had a very nice day!
Barbie Isn`t it funny how fast time goes when you`re busy? Here lately I`ve been doing nothing except trying to get better and the hours go by so slow:frown: . I`m ready to be busy again !
Meg Sounds like you had a really nice family day
! 4 hours in the car is a long time!
Michele I heard about the wreck at Daytona too...glad Vince was not near the fence! I would have been across the street shopping too:laugh: !!! I don`t care if you even bring the humidity back here, if that`s the only way to get the sunshine I`ll take it!!! I ment to tell you earlier I just laughed at you having me do landscape work to scare the sickness away:laugh: , I have no green thumb, however I am good at telling others what to do and where I want things . If you need someone to be bossy to Vince give me a call:laugh: .
Eileen Love your new profile pic!!!
I`m debating on if I`m going to put my tiara on and go to Starbucks today to boss the guys around, maybe that would make me feel better:laugh: ! The sun is supposed to come out sometime today and fairly decent temps too I think:glasses: . My calf muscle is feeling much better this morning :bigsmile: ! Maybe I`ll have a better walk today than I did yesterday, I think that would make me feel a lot better! Now if I could only get rid of the coughing and blowing my nose....
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!!!! Drink your water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: and log your food!!!
Hugs,
DeeDee in very foggy at the moment NC0 -
Meg - thanks for your wishes about Vince. He's fine now, just needed that inhaler. It's so frustrating when you have something you need at home but didn't bring it! We're watching the weather right now on TV to see if we should wear pants or shorts today. When we got back to the condo, Vince watched the replay of the accident and said "OMG". He knew it was bad, but I guess you see things on the replay that you didn't really catch when you saw in up front. Update: they're talking about 72 in Daytona down to like 67. But then again, we're up pretty high, so I think I'm going to wear pants. The rain probablity is 50% which means there won't be that much sunlight. Fortunately, our seats are under cover.
We have an insulated backpack that I'll take with me. Have 2 bottles of water I'm going to put in it. Then I have my "going to the movies" pocketbook, I have another bottle of water I'll take along with a 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat (need something for lunch). I packed asparagus, a pear, a small box of raisins, 1/2 cup of tomatoes, sugar snap peas and some celery. Yesterday I took food with me that I didn't eat. I'd rather have something with me and not eat it rather than having nothing and wishing that I did. I'm sure I'll have the peas and sugar snap peas with my dinner.
I don't remember who it was, but someone commented to me (positively) that they don't know how I could eat peas for breakfast. Well, I have the peas portioned out and have 1/2 with breakfast and then 1/2 with dinner. I do need to finish up the peas, and on top of that the f/v challenge is to eat fruits and veges with every meal so I have my veggie with my breakfast!
DeeDee - about the landscaping: you are talking to the woman who has the brownest thumb on the face of the earth! There was one time before we were married, Vince lived in the apt across from me. Anyway, he had to go away on business. He had this (I think it was a swedish ivy) plant that was supposed to be hearty. He told me when to water it, he even poured out the water for me so that I couldn't overwater it. He came back and what happened? It died. He asked me what I did and I told him "I just looked at it". The only thing I can't kill are weeds.
Well, gotta get ready, have a great day everyone. Oh, I apologize those who post their menus. I just haven't had a lot of time to check them out
Now the news says that 33 people were injured last night but no one died. I'm sure the Franz family is so grateful about that.
Fortunately, we don't have to leave for Daytona tomorrow until around 11, the tires aren't supposed to be here until 12. That means that I'll be able to go to the yoga class and then take the step class.
suebdew - yes, it drives me crazy about all the sodium in RTE meals. Then again, I need to have things that I can just pop in the microwave, not too crazy about cooking down here since sometimes I don't have the right equipment or pots, we just have the bare minimum. So I'll just go on. Oh, to me, the Wendy's chili didn't taste real salty. But then again, that could also be because of the spices which hid the salty flavor. Well, I had a coupon where I got it for free as long as I got a drink so I got Vince a frosty. He got a chicken sandwich which I had a coupon for free for as long as you got a drink so he got a soda. Works.
Michele from NC going to Daytona0 -
A little on the late side today. I put this at the end of my routine today. Need to change things around a little. So came did my work scramble with my first coffee. Then did the kitchen a load of laundry.. 22 min. on the wii and will get more later. did my blood sugar had my 1.2 cup oatmeal.
Now having my second cup with you guys. Going to go and get my apple soon.
Grandmallie
Good for you for keeping them germs at home. If more people thought like you there would be less sick people aroung. And a flu wouldn't last the winter.
Michele
Looks like you are really enjoying Forida and Daytona.
Deedee
Go pay those fella's a visit i'm sure if you don't they will miss you.
So now to get my apple and have a great day.
See you all lighter

Happy Sunday to you all,
I am just trying to catch up with some posts from being away for a week and there is so much going on...
To those with colds and illness, take care of yourselves and get better....this year seems to have a very high inflection rate, it seems to go and return, and go and return.....
To those on holidays, please enjoy your time, lasso that sun and bring it farther north, ok? I don't mind the cold or the snow, but I mind darker days without the sun!
To all the newcomers, welcome, sorry I missed your first introductions.
The good news is I ordered a Fitbit one before I left, and it was here when I got back....after setting it up and using it for a half day, I "lost" it.....and then found it the next day.....I had been so worried about losing it, I put it on my towel after coming out of the shower before I changed into my party clothes....and promptly forgot that is where I put it....so I re-organized a little box on my dresser and it now has its own small space of honour.....I have synced MFP and Fitbit, hope that works! I am very impressed with the info so far!
The bad news is that I have eaten out more often than eaten in for the last two weeks as everyone geared up for socializing before our Reading week ( slack week? ) ; and we did go away for a few days, and then got "snowed in for a day"....but all that meant eating more food out, and even when I made great choices, and went swimming in the indoor pool every day, I still felt like a blimp when I got home.....and promplty organized and hosted a party for my boys - DH and DS - with all kinds of tempting foods, chips, crackers, cheeses ( wow, the apple pie cheese was a big big hit), and two cakes! Damage control was turned off, for sure!
My challenge now is to get back to a clean eating scheme, lots of veg, lots of water, and lots of MFP.....and accept the steep challenges that the fitbit offers me.....those numbers are too low!
Have a warm, wonderful Sunday, may the rest of your week start in clean health and a good spirit!0 -
Good Morning all (oops, It's 12:15).
Question: Anybody have any good suggestions on cooking for one? I don't mind eating the same thing 3 or 4 days a week. I'm not a big fan of freezing, I ususally forget about it and wind up throwing it away.
Well, off to my 2nd job. I'll be back later. Looking forward to some great ideas.
Happy Sunday.
LuAnn0 -
Hi all!!! This is just a quick hello because I have my nose to the grindstone today writing. Hope everyone is doing well, exercising, drinking their water, and for those who are sick, starting to feel better! Enjoy the rest of a wonderful Sunday. Meg is snowy but sunny Omaha.0

:happy: :happy: RebelRenny is a very happy camper today. We found out last night that our new grand baby is going to be a GIRL! Of course, we would have been just as happy had it been a BOY!!! But you know what I'm saying. We are just silly grand parents who get all over-the-top delighted. Can't wipe the smile off my face today. Last night was the "sexy baby reveal" party.
Also logged - finally - a 1/2 lb loss. Sheesh, that took long enough!! Last time I logged a loss was 4 weeks ago and at that time I thought I was on quite a roll, remember? Bodies are funny things, aren't they.
I am at week 6 of training for the 10K (I walk). I can tell you that, if I weren't part of this training clinic, I would not be getting out there as often. It is good for me to be part of a group. Yesterday a guy spoke to us who started running at age 65!! He is now in his 70s. He was such an inspiration and funny too. Moral of the story: if he can do it, we can do at least something. It is also good to learn about proper techniques, footwear, etc.
I have started eating quinoa, which apparently is one of those really good foods, especially when you are on a plant based diet. DH bought Chia seed and I had 1/2 tsp on my oatmeal this morning.
@LuAnn - If you are not into freezing, I find that stirfrying or steaming veggies is ideal when cooking for one. I have started cooking enough quinoa to last a couple of days. Just keep it in the fridge. I make single shot smoothies. I keep pecans at hand. A huge salad is a daily occurrence for me (DH makes that for me to take for lunch). I buy a small tub of cottage cheese, and some other type of cheeses to keep in the fridge. Stock up on frozen and fresh foods (I go to the market a couple of times a week on my way home from work, only takes an extra couple of minutes). I keep our magic bullet on the counter and also have a shelf full of spices. I stay away from processed foods as much as possible. Hope that helps.
Currently I've got our Rustic 9-bean Vegetarian Ragout in the slow-cooker and am about to make myself a fruit smoothie. The Ragout will be plenty to freeze multiple portions for future.
Hope to get out on my bike a bit today, but it is looking rather "damp" outside. Renny

Hello Everyone,
Finally! A place where I feel at home here! I just did a quick read of the last few pages and I'm glad to see the positive attitude and support for each other.
I will post more when I have more time. Right now I have to go into the sauna and sweat some. Would you believe that the naturopath I went to actually said that taking a sauna is a type of exercise? I sweat, for sure, but exercise? I do it for detoxing the mercury that is in my system (found that out from a medical doctor after many tests!) It's been quite a journey for me trying to get well and get to the root of why I wasn't losing weight even when I did everything right!
I have been on this site a little over a week, at the suggestion of my GP. My husband and I are working at getting back into shape. Of course he lost 10 pounds to my 3, but I am thrilled that I am losing at all!
Can't wait to hear more about all of your journeys.
Cat0 -
hi y'all, and welcome to the new folks! :flowerforyou:
forgive me for not posting in so long, but the last five times i've tried, it has disappeared, and i just didn't feel like typing it all over again....
i have caught jb's february funk.....:noway: i don't WANT to do anything that's healthy or involves exercise.....:noway: and i'm tired of waking up at the crack of dawn to drive to LR (Little Rock) every morning...... :grumble: i love my students, and we have a GREAT time together, but i just hate the drive to get there.....:grumble:
i've only made it home "on time" twice this month (again), and i DID go work out both times, but that's not enough to even count.:frown: haven't made it home in time to go to the dietician's class, either. i really miss it. :frown:
well, i know you don't need or want to hear me go on griping, so i'll stop, at least for now. the lab tests came back normal, but that doesn't explain why i am freezing on a sunny, mild day, or why i can't stay asleep through the night for more than a couple of hours. maybe that's why i'm such a grump.....:grumble:
i know i need an attitude change, and i'm hoping that when it gets warmer, i'll feel better, too.
i'm SO PROUD of your weight-loss successes, and it it a JOY to read about them all! Keep up the good work, everyone!:flowerforyou:
hope i have something encouraging to share the next time.

Hi Vit F ladies, I thought I would check in for a few. I am still of the roller coaster, trying to bring my eating habits back in line. I beleive if I ever manage to get off the sugar, gluten, and dairy again, I will have learned my lesson and will stay off. Besides my horrible eating, I have developed a sinus thing...feeling bad today, all stuffed up, yet having to blow my nose every few minutes, and having mega sneezing fits.
I hope those of you that were feeling poorly are on your road to recovery. I read that there was a new granddaughter on the way...Congrats!! Grandchildren are such a blessing...
Take care all,
All the BEST!!

i dont usually overdue so I will not punish myself.
Will try and eat sparingly the next few days to make up for today.. Hope everyone enjoyed there day of rest0 -
RebelRenny,Thank you. I may try freezing again and keeping a list taped to the freezer door as a reminder of what is in there. It is hard with working 2 jobs leaving at 7am and returning at 9:30 pm. I usually shop & cook on Saturday mornings for the week. Definitely not a fan of processed or fast food (that's what got me here in the first place, lol )
LuAnn0 -
Welcome to all the newbies! This is a very supportive group of women, and it works really well to keep you motivated when you participate regularly. It has certainly helped me.:bigsmile: Please post where you're from. It helps us to know each other better.
I had a nice weight loss yesterday and was chicken to step on the scales today because I was afraid it would have vanished over night. :noway: This has happened before. Losing weight has not been a smooth down hill ride for me, but it has been a consistent down hill trend. With bumps. I did go to the store and buy new, smaller pants. Big NSV right there and I'm a happy woman. :bigsmile: (For newbies, an NSV is a non scale victory.) My daughter is visiting soon, and I'm hoping to surprise her, so don't anybody tell.
Enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for all the vitamin F.
Katla in NW Oregon0 -
NSV! really like that! will share that with my friends since some days that is all we need to help us move forward and stay on track.
been trying to focus on my new mantra....'get up!" ....not only gets me up but is helping me get my chores done :-) had a bit of rough week with social events and little less excersize than planned but happy end of week with some weight loss reminds me to stay on track. i have regular weekly social gatherings so they will continue to be a challenge.
Been trying to increase my water intake and have a glass whenever i think of it.
We go to the trainer tomorrow so we'll see how that goes :-)
lynda from langley, bc0 -
Read all the posts but didn't take notes! Played golf after church and am really tired. The wind just takes all your energy.
Michele - it was me wondering about the peas for breakfast. Great idea to have them if you're doing the fruit/veggie challenge. You are the most organized person I know to pack all your favorite things to take to the races with you.
Not much going on with me so I'll sign off and come back tomorrow when my brain is working again (I hope).
Sue in TX0 -
Ok, I know I gained 3 pounds, but I promise I do not look as fat as I do in this picture. Even my face looks fat here. Oh well, my horse looks good.
I was soooooo happy to be able to ride today. It was 36 degrees, sunshiny and no wind. It was wonderful. The horses behaved and we rode for over 2 hours. A real bummer though, I lost my fitbit on the ride. I am devastated and am in fear that I won't be as driven without that constant little reminder on my hip telling me I haven't walked my 10,000 steps or haven't climbed my 10 sets of stairs. And I certainly don't have another $100 to get a new one.

Safely home from visiting with DD. Was a weekend of ups and downs: Ups: great time with DD seeing Spring Awakening, shopping, watching her dance class and just catching up. Trying on clothes was a much happier experience since losing weight and I love my 2 milestone pieces! Got a cute cardi and a jersey dress
:sad: Downs: due to flight delays didn’t see DD until Saturday (got in after midnight); DH and I overslept and didn’t get to work out. :devil: Enjoyed 2 great meals that blew my calories and had an awful stomach ache from too much/too rich.
:noway: Dread, I mean really dread, getting on the scale tomorrow morning.
At least I was healthy today. Nothing like a fresh start and getting back on track!
I’m 3 pages behind on this tread but will try and catch up as I sort of watch the Oscars.
Lindafour – welcome you have found the right place. This is a great group who are always there to listen (complain or hoot with joy) and offer great suggestions.
Dee Dee – I’m amazed it took you so long to have a pity party. Please rest up and hopefully you’ll start to feel better soon. I wish I could ship you some homemade chicken soup, but you’ll have to settle for my positive wishes headed your way :sick:
Grandmallie – hope you are feeling better and that you had a great time at the concert :sick: :happy:
Jane – hang in there. Hope you can get some yoga in to help with the stress and the scale
Renny – you should get a new pair free. Costco has great customer service. No harm in asking and see how they respond. Congrats on your future grand daughter! :flowerforyou:
Mary –feel better :sick:
LuAnn – I’m learning to cook for 2 as I’ve just emptied the nest this fall. I buy fish and chicken and freeze them in smaller portions. I like to make recipes from Cooking Light – they seem to cut in half well. Sometimes I just keep it very easy by putting a rub on and using my grill pan. I round the meal out with frozen veggies or a salad. I’m also a big fan of left overs for lunch if there are extras
Katia – I feel like my weight see saws as well but since it’s generally (albeit very slowly) moving down I’m happy. I really could see the difference when I went shopping. Congrats on the smaller pants :drinker:
Hope next week is a great week for everyone - feeling healthy, energetic, stronger and trimmer! Jodios0
