WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2013

Good morning, lovely ladies! It’s clear blue skies here after our *horrors* wallpaper paste storm that wasn’t yesterday lol. We didn’t see a flake all day – a few raindrops and some wind, but that was it. Oh well. It felt odd to be waiting all day for the storm to start – I played bunko last night and everyone agreed it just made the day go by differently.
I went back and read a few pages – so I’ll try to respond off the top of my head.
Michele, sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. I hope you have a nice weekend with your DD.
JB, saw you are getting smaller – yaya! And having a job you love is a big plus.
Meg, I hope your puppy is doing OK. Enjoy the time off!
Laura, not in CO yet – fly in on Monday.
Amanda, love bagpipes – and the Highlands! I can just picture your gallery.
All those talking about ETL – I haven’t read that particular book but will throw out my $.02 regarding healthy eating: I was just telling a friend last night that I haven’t really been sick with even a sniffle since I’ve cut meat out of my diet and been eating more and more organic and healthy foods. I still have dairy in my diet but am finding myself pretty mindful of it – too much fat if I’m not careful. However Greek yogurt is my friend lol.
Kate, your post absolutely cracked me up! Hooray for spanx too!
Barbie, I hope Jake is recovered and back home by now. You reminded me to pack my needles and crochet hook to take with me to CO.
Congratulations to everyone who posted a loss – it looks like the weight is fleeing from this board! I even managed to lose another pound – must be the company
.
I’ve been pretty lax about posting and logging lately. There’s no question I now have it in my head that I’m in maintenance mode – I even mentioned to DH last night about how I haven’t been very good about it. On the one hand I have a pretty consistent amount of calories I take in on a daily basis, but on the other hand it’s pretty easy for a day or two to get out of hand (ahem *coughwinecough*). I need to stop that and just get back to regular tracking.
Having said that, additional goals for March:
:flowerforyou: Log in and track on MFP every day
:flowerforyou:Exercise at least five times/week (have to put this in here because I’ll be out of town for half the month, so schedule will be hectic)
:flowerforyou:Drink water
:flowerforyou:Be patient and kind to my mom
:flowerforyou:Listen more and talk less
Cheers,
M.0 -
Kate ,you crack me up!!!! that was a hoot:laugh:
i have yet to see that spanx video ya'll are talking about, but would love to see it, been pretty productive today` but had a nice senior moment this morning, thought I left my cell phone at work, so waited for the snow to stop drove on down to work, unlocked and went in and no phone:grumble: , go back out to the car and dig through the purse and wah~la~~~OY . So came back home shoveled off the deck because precious Chester doesnt want to step in the snow and I made a path even though there is only a few inches have to make the puppies happy
I swept all the hardwood floors and washed them with murphy's oil soap and they are drying, the laundry is done, not folded but done
now trying to get a hold of the darn credit union,they upgraded the web accounts and now I cant log on, so of course the phone lines to talk to someone are busy
. oh well I will keep trying..
A dear friend of mine just called me and offered me FREE Kenny Chesney tickets.. can you say OH YEA!!!
well off to fold laundry and put away and then try and get a hold of the credit union... have a great afternoon ladies

Good morning all,
It's a beautiful Thursday morning, and the snowstorm they were predicting never happened! This is why it's best to live in the day and not worry about the future, because it could all be for nothing! So happy we were spared, and it is supposed to get warmer this weekend. Maybe we will get a little peak at spring?:flowerforyou: I sure hope so. I am still slowly working on building up my upper body strength, and today I actually could do some pushups! This is big for me, as I am the weakest person I know. I added ankle weights to my program and do a different routine every other day now. I definitely can feel it working. I think the key may be to change things up a bit and not do the same thing every day. I am slowing learning that change is a good thing! jb - I find that all clothing (especially jeans) fit differently according to the brand. You just have to find out what works best for your body style. Keep looking! Katla - I agree with you that drinking the water helps the process of losing the weight.
:flowerforyou: Brooke - Congrats on your amazing weight loss!
:grumble: Laura - It really stinks that after all of your hard work & preparation, you now have more work ahead of you. I hope it goes smoothly so you'll be back on track in no time.
:mad: Jodios - Men always lose the pounds faster than we do, don't they? It's not fair, but that's just the way it is. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get there. jmkmomm - You are an inspriation and prove that we are capable of taking responsiblilty for our own health.
:laugh: Cheryl - lol! We all have our moments!
:happy: Karen - Whatever you are doing, keep it up! It's working!
:flowerforyou: Teri & Debbie - Keep up the good work and keep coming back!
:drinker: Danni - I struggle with the same problem in the afternoon. I started adding a healthy snack like an apple with PB2 in the afternoon. It's low in calories and very satisfying. Also, water,water,water! Barbie - Thank God you can rest easy knowing that Jake will be home very soon. Now get back on that bike and finish your exercise!! lol! Kiane50 - You can go into settings under the Food menu to track your macros. You can adjust your nutritional & fitness goals under the Home menu in goals. You can make adjustments along with way until you find out what works best for you. Good luck!
Dawn- If you have been walking for a while, you might want to either increase your time or your speed. I recently added some strength training just to change it up a bit. Every little bit helps. Kathy - We all have our days when we go overboard. The important thing is that you are back on track today!
:noway: LuAnn- 3 JOBS!!! I'm amazed that you have time to post at all!
:huh: Kate - WHOA! SCARY!!! I guess everything DOES happen for a reason. lol!
:drinker: Welcome to all of the newcomers and glad you found this thread. You will find support and lots of Vitamin F here.
We are going to see Blue Man Group tonight. I never saw them before, but my husband has and says they put on a great show.
I'm excited! Gives me something to look forward to. Hope the day goes quickly.....
Hugs,
Lucy in Delaware:bigsmile:0 -
February goals were just to get back to doing something about my weight instead of feeling sorry for myself. So I happy to report that I’m doing something!
March goals
1. Log all my foods and face up to what I’m really eating. This is a hard one because that means I have to take off the sunglasses of denial.
2. Drink water on purpose and drink at least 8 cups a day. I am a sipper and not really a drinker so this one may seem simple enough but it is work for me.
3. Pay attention to how I feel after I have eaten something. I want to be aware of my feelings before, during, and after I eat. I want to learn what “satiety”.
Satiety (sa-TIE-e-tee) is that wonderfully pleasant feeling of fullness you get as you eat, when you’re no longer hungry, but aren’t overly stuffed or uncomfortable.
That’s a new word for me and I want learning what it feels like!
4. Determine what foods make my tummy feel bloated and change out that food for something that makes me feel
4. Embrace me right where I am today and not worry about who I want to be. (ie Thin, health, young looking 50+ lady). What I mean is, love me unconditionally just where I am today. I figure I could only get better from there.
5. Invite Jesus to be an active part of my new healthy goals. I am learning that what concerns me concerns Him.
Whelp, those are some biggys for me so here stepping out in faith!

Good morning all. Happy Thursday.
Who is the author of the ETL book? I would like to go online to reserve it at my library. My downfall is not enough F's & V's. I need to work on that.
I wish I had the time to read all of your posts instead of just skimming through, maybe one of these days when I can leave 1 of my 3 jobs.
Have a great day all.
LuAnn
Jersey Girl, Jersey Strong
Dr. Joel Fuhrman is the author. I hope you can get a copy.
Lin in Central Iowa0 -
The sun is shining today – yeah! :glasses: My DD is coming home for spring break tomorrow – double yeah! She is trying to talk my DS into coming home as well – we’ll see about that .
The scale is not being my friend right now:grumble: but I’m working my tail off exercising and eating close to 1200 cal/day so I’m going to stay positive that all this hard work will pay off. This morning I did strength training, a killer Bob Harper 15 minute circuit and yoga for my sore muscles. I’m feeling really energized right now:bigsmile:
Meg & Brooke – I’m a lucky wife too – my husband also does the laundry (although we’ve had a few shrinking and turning everything pink disasters, he does a great job for the most part):laugh:
Barbie – so glad Jake is fine and you can bring him home:flowerforyou:
Dawn – the key is to find something you love. I tried a bunch of different types of workouts and found I love dancing, kickboxing, pilates and yoga (I know a weird mix). As soon as the weather gets good I love to be out on the trail biking. I know there are a lot of fit bit owners out there who could tell you more about it but it seems that helps a lot of people get moving. :drinker:
Amanda x – hang in there; how cool you can listen to bagpipes at work
Maggie – welcome and where is Oz?
Welcome to all the newbies!
Tammy and Renny – I’ve found since I’ve been on this MFP journey I have been cutting way back on the starchy carbs and eating fruits and/or veggies with every meal. Last night was fish with half a plate filled with roasted carrots and broccoli (yum). I think all those antioxidant are doing wonderful things for my skin and energy level:happy:
Lucy – enjoy Blue Man Group. When we went we were in the poncho seats (you’ll see what I mean). …we were a mess but had a great time:laugh:
Well got to get back to work. Have a great day everyone. Jodios:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Meg
Are you saying there's still hope for my two bachelor sons. One is 39 and 37 still single and loving it.
Here is a question for you What do you think of low carbs for diabetics.
Brooke
Congrats on the five lb loss. Great going. Wish I had set a few rules 42 years ago lol.
Barbie
Must be hard for you to watch all these ideal people when you yourself is such a busy body.
Glad all went well for hubby and that he is safe at home.
Spunky
Good goals very nice weight loss
Jmkmomm
I'm also a diabetic on a low dose of Metformin. And it's doing good by me. But unfortunatly we are all different.
Kianne
Sleep is a very needed thing in our journey to lose weight.
Dawn
You ask if your 30 min. is doing anything. Sure it is just up it a little every week. It's helping.
Michele
3-5 cravings describe many of us.What I like doing now is slicing an apple very thin and stretching it over about 15 min. or more.Seems to work.
Rebel
More veg than fruit I can't believe the carbs in the fruit. Doing much better in that department.
Amanda
Your so right we get up feeling like a wet rag on somedays but don't have to let the world know about it.
Shoulder's back chin up and face the day with a smile.
Deedee
If the body isn't used to breakfast sounds like you had an overload lol. Maybe start by having a toast with protein or fruit with protein. But you should have a little something. You are so serious on doing that walk run thing good going.
Grandmaille
Hope you make it to your place in florida.
Welcome goes out to Mcginley,JBBranson and Mathew. Just join in.
Gail
Spandex might fix the middle but won't do much for under arms.
Tammy
I'm pushing the veg. but still like my protein.
Linder
Salad's are good but no more than 2 to 3 times a week for me.
Beth
Good for you for eating out and staying in your calorie count.
Passing on dessert another plus.
BJ
Need to return a book tomorrow going to look for Eat and live or something like that. To replace my diabetic 2 book.
Kathy
I love u tube for exercise I think it's the greatest.
Laura
Hope the busy wears off soon.
Luanne
One of three jobs just a little bit busy.
Kate
Just love how you write making it so interesting. Even spandex sounds good lol.
Well that's what i'm taking time for for here. That's plenty. I'll be back tomorrow.
Doing great today and my cheat last night didn't show on the wii but neither did he smile maintained so that's good.
See you all lighter
Beautiful day in Northern Ontario no sun but it's melting

Okay - I know I'm suppose to be hard at work right now but just got this and had to share with you guys because I know so many of you have furballs like me that are so much a part of the family:
WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN? ANSWER OF A 6 YEAR OLD
This story Melt My heart I wanna Share it! Must read.
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.
I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.
The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker ‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ”I know why.”
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I’d never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.
He said,”People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The Six-year-old continued,
”Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

I have a few more minutes today than I had yesterday, so I’ve read the current thread. Today is my mother’s doctor appointment. She keeps telling me that she’s having heart attacks, but she never tells me until the next day. I can’t get her to understand that she needs to call me to take her in when this happens! Anyway, we are going to see a cardiologist this afternoon. We’ve scheduled my father to have cataract surgery. I hope I’m doing the right thing in encouraging this, as he has only one good eye and would be blind if there are any complications. It would really add to his quality of life if we could get the remaining eye better, though.
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m going through a rough patch on the eating. I would think that after so many years I’d have this down, but I still seem to have the mentality that “if I don’t write it down, it doesn’t count.” How foolish is that?? Maybe it’s an addiction problem and, like the alcoholic who can’t have a drink, I can’t eat right without logging. My goal in life is to simply be able to eat properly without having to think about it. Right now, I’m not logging. I’m busy, but also eating odd things that would be time-consuming to log, hence making it easier simply not to. I’m up 2.5 lbs., probably half water weight.
So what am I doing about this? I’ve ordered a Fitbit, in hopes that it will make me more conscious of my lack of activity. It should arrive by the beginning of next week. I’m also looking into trying Isagenix on a part-time basis. I occasionally will drink Slim Fast when I’m in a hurry, but I think that switching to Isagenix might be better. After a ton of looking, I’ve finally found someone here who will sell it to me. They are about 30 miles away, but I’m hoping to get over there perhaps tomorrow morning.
On a positive note (NSV), I had my physical and bloodwork done this week, and I’m apparently the healthiest I’ve been in years. All of the results were normal, and my cholesterol number was the lowest it’s been in 20 years. My doctor is going to try to get me off of the blood pressure meds, too. We’ve cut the dosage in half, and if things stay okay for the next month, we’ll try cutting it out altogether.
I visited Foot Doctor #5. Having considered everything they all had to say, I’ve finally decided what I want to do. I’m going to invest in a new orthotic ($400 – ouch!) and have the cortisone shots. If these haven’t done any good by next fall, I’m going to need to let them fuse my foot. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one!
Jmkmomm – Wow! Congratulations on having come so far, that’s terrific!!
Brooke – Thank you for the encouragement!
Karen – Huge congrats on the first 10!
Linda – I’ve been away from the thread so much lately that I missed your passing the 200 lbs. mark, although I’d been watching for it. CONGRATULATIONS, if a little belatedly! I’ve been rooting for you!!
Barbie – I can see that I’ve missed so much by not getting to the thread. Jake is having surgery?? I hope that everything goes well – sending positive thoughts your way! Just read a little further and see that he came through well. So glad!
Tammy – I haven’t read the book, but I did watch the documentary “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.” I also found it to be inspirational from a health point of view. I think that smoothies would be better than juice, though, so that you aren’t losing as much of the fiber.
Amanda – Sending good thoughts your way, and hoping that you feel more upbeat soon! The bagpipes sound wonderful.
Kate – You made me laugh about the Flexxies at Costco!
Mwheatcraft – How long are you going to be in Colorado? We’re doing another lunch next Friday, if you’d care to pop in!
Laura80111 – I can see that I also missed something about an accounting disaster. I hope it isn’t too bad!

Jodios - - - :flowerforyou: THANK YOU so much for the Belker/Shane story. Made me laugh (and cry a little). Love our furkids! :happy:0
-
Jodois~~ gee thanks for that~ im sitting here crying as one of my furbabies sleeps on the bed..In the last 16 yrs we have had to put 3 of our puppies and a kitty cat to sleep and everyone of them was so very precious to us..
It hurts so much and we never forget them..I cant wait to get to heaven and meet up with all my precious furbabies again, and of course my family too
well I must say I had a PB/banana wrap at 9 this morning and I am just getting a little bit hungry now... God Bless P/B. now to just find a lower fat version that would be divine..0 -
Bump!0
-
Blue Man group??? I want to go. I love those guys, have never been to one of their shows because of the cost.
Warmed over french toast just taste as good as the first serving. Plus if you put the syrup in the microwave that makes a MESS. How many calories will I burn by cleaning that out?0 -
back to snowing here again and and it will snow through tomorrow am,well the good thing is if we plan on going on this cruise it will make me more determined to get the weight off before October sorta a jump start...
having a nice cup of tea and some special K pastry crisps , very nice!!!0 -
:flowerforyou: Jodios --- Thank you thank you thank you. Lovely. We love our dogs. 0
-
new profile picture is of our furbabies. Chester is the light colored shih-tzu who lives for food especially carrots, Homer is the poodle mix,,who makes us laugh by sitting like a meerkat and barking his fool head off at everything...
yes we do love our furbabies!!!0 -
I was talking myself out of working out tonight, but after logging in my lunch from the Olive Garden I'm already at my 1200 for today....must earn more calories :grumble:0

Happy day! It is beautiful here in Omaha, lots of sunshine, but still cold. It’s supposed to be in the high 50s by the end of the week, so I am hoping to get outside and get some walking in. I’m on spring break. Today I got all the grocery shopping done, went to breakfast with DH, read the paper, took a nap and now I’m here. I’m going to work on the book for a while. Tonight is game night and it’s my turn to pick but I don’t know yet what to choose.
Brooke: sounds like we have some things in common. I really hate hearing the young girls at our college talk about going to their boyfriends homes to do laundry and clean and cook. I want to shake them LOL:bigsmile:
Barbie: saw on my home page that Jake is all done and you are heading home. I’m sure you are happy to have him back. That is really interesting about wanting to be more active during waiting times. I sleep LOL. Or read a trashy magazine that I never get….sometimes I go to the salon early just so I can check them out!
Spunky: you’re right, goals are such a good idea. I find though that I don’t do them when I write them down, so I try to keep them in my head and think about them instead.
Jmkmomm: I forgot you were a nurse! I had a similar experience; lots of blood sugars in the prediabetic range and asked about taking metformin. The only blood sugar I have had since was at my employee wellness fair and it was in the 130s but I was using steroid cream twice a day for a chronic rash on my back, so that went in the trash. I’ll be anxious to see what it is at my physical.
Kiane: I think rest is the key to everything health related!
Dawn: 30 minutes of walking a day is great! Is there something you like to do activity-wise you could add? Dancing? Swimming? Playing in the pool with grandkids? Anything active helps!
Michele: chairs that look like mushrooms? That would be cute. Sounds like you are disappointed about your daughter, and I am sorry. :flowerforyou:
Renny: we try to do the plate method of healthy eating; ½ the plate of produce including not-overcooked vegetables, ¼ protein, ¼ starch. We only eat red meat once a week, or once in a blue moon, twice like if I cook a roast and we get leftovers. We are not so good with starch choices; we all hate brown rice and whole wheat pasta, but at least we don’t eat potatoes much. Sometimes I mix the whole wheat with the white variety, but still it’s not very good.
Phyllis: wow living in Egypt for 20 years! How fascinating! I’d love to hear more about where you moved there from and how you got there!
Amanda: are you ill? I’m sorry to hear that you don’t feel the best. Sending you my hugs.:flowerforyou: I Love bagpipes too….when I die I want Amazing Grace on the pipes at my funeral
DeeDee: ahhhhh so that explains the pancakes!
Grandmallie: I had the loveliest vision of your snowy backyard and it made me want to take a nap!
Maggie: welcome!
Gail: which dress did you buy? Bigpal is around; she is on my homepage. She doesn’t check in every day, but most days.
Moxie: glad to hear you are doing well.
Beth: congratulations to your nephew!
Kathy: take care of that knee!
Jb: you are always so upbeat!!!
M: *cough-wine-cough* is a downfall of mine too!
Lucy: you hit the nail on the head….at least for me. I need to change up my routine too. I’m getting kind of sick of the elliptical.
LinC: yes there is always hope for those bachelor sons! My hubby’s very elderly aunt, when she met me, said “Dear God in heaven we didn’t think he’d ever get married!” :laugh: I think low carbs for diabetics is dicey…you need a certain amount especially if you take meds. The ADA recommends 45-60 grams a meal and 15-30 grams for a snack. I would not go too low.
Jodios: wonderful story. I shall have to remember to not bite when a simple growl will do! I gave Benny Beagle a little pet after reading it.
Jane: wow that lab work is impressive! Congratulations! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your foot. My dad had cataract surgery when he was 84. Both eyes a month apart. He is so glad that he had it done. Best wishes for your parents’ health!
Well ladies. I’m all set to work. All four animals are curled up around me (heaven help me if the house caught on fire I’d never be able to get out from under all the critters!). make it a great day. Meg:drinker:0 -
HI!Got to the gym today,wish I could get there more,too far to walk and on hubby`s schedule.
I got spoiled before we lost our home.Belonged to a y and could walk there every day.
Hope everyone else is doing ok.

:flowerforyou: Barbie all of our prayers to you and Jake for a speedy recovery. You are truly an inspiration and have no doubt you are to everyone you meet. :flowerforyou:
EDITED NOTE ;-) So happy for you that Jake is home and yahoo and yippee doo dah! Be well and have a wonderful night!0 -
:flowerforyou: Barbie glad to hear Jake can go home (maybe he's home by now) .
:yawn: :yawn: Took a while to catch up with all the posts, it's getting late so I'll get myself off to bed, I'll catch up with you in the morning.

I'm still going shopping with a friend next weekend for other options. It is going to be a hard sell for anything else, but I will look!
Gail, Atlanta0 -
Been reading all afternoon (after my eyes quit being dilated). This has been such a busy doctor week for me. Dentist, Dermatologist and today my retina guy. Don't remember if I've ever mentioned I have macular degeneration. Been 9 years now and so far doing ok. Just completed a 5 year AREDS 2 study where they were investigation the affect of different vitamins on patients with AMD. We have to go to Dallas so it's 90 minutes there and 90 back. When I got home I went to sleep for two hours.
Barbie - so glad Jake's surgery is over and hopefully he's home again.
Jodios - loved the story about the dog and little boy. Lots of lessons to be learned there.
Sorry I didn't take notes but wanted to read everything so I'd know what's up.
I'll do better for now on!
BTW lost .9 this week. That makes 17.9. I wish I could get on an even number!
Sue in TX0 -
bump. sorry no time to read now. going to bed. sweet dreams sweet ladies. remember drink the water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0
-
Sue in TX – Congrats on 17.9!!!! :drinker: wondering the outcome of the study you’ve been involved in re: macular degeneration – do you know yet? I have 8 relatives with it, so take lutein and eat lots of greens hoping to stave it off
Meg – Marrying an older bachelor is something I would recommend to everyone contemplating marriage After having 3 brothers, I wasn’t going to train another one :laugh: :laugh:
I agree with you re: young women cleaning/cooking from the get-go, really bad precedent if you ask me:grumble:
Barbie – hoping you (both) had a safe trip back home and are now settled in and resting comfortably:flowerforyou:
Jane in Colorado – your labs are awesome! That is truly a NSV The scale is only one tool in our healthy arsenal, right?
Amanda – ahhhhh, the bagpipes! Hope hearing them helped to relieve you of your grey day mood:happy:
Jane – great work getting to the gym today! Every single bit helps us to our healthiest selves
sorry for all those I missed, Happy Friday to all :yawn:
Brooke from Colorado0 -
Mags - welcome, you've come to a good place for support!
DeeDee - no matter how much you don't want to go to your training, I admire you for going.
Maggie - welcome! Keep logging in here, we'll help you and you'll get to your goal.
chevvy - welcome! Your goals sound very realistic
Beth in SC - congrats to your nephew. I'm sure you're very proud of him. Have a good time in Bristol!
jbbrannon and matthews - welcome!
Got up, did an hour of a Jari Love DVD. Last night around 10 Jessica says to me "ma, I have a request for blueberry muffins . Prior to this I found out (and please don't ask me to explain this) that she was planning to go back tonight. When I said "Jess, there just isn't time" she says to me "oh, you can do it, you're mom". I guess I should take that as a compliment. Anyway, suddenly had to rearrange my schedule. Returned the audiobooks I took out of the library for the trip to FL, got money at the bank, had to go to the store to buy blueberries, went to Lynett's office to give her her soda, then to the Green Room by 10. I was thinking that I was only supposed to be there until 12, but it's 12:30. Anyway, left a little after 12, came home and made the muffins (I'd found a recipe online yesterday so I would know what ingredients to have on hand), Jessica wanted to go to Atlanta Bread for lunch. Had the chicken chili. Ouch on the sodium!!!! Then we had to take Bonnie & Clyde to the vet for shots,
Tomorrow I'll do incline intervals on the treadmill.
grandmalle - what a wonderful friend you have there. It's nice to know that there are other dogs who like carrots. I have a friend whose dogs eat them all the time. Do yours like the ribs from lettuce?
Lucy in DE - we saw Blue Man Group when they were in Charlotte. They DO put on a good show, you'll enjoy it.
