Senior Golden Sneakers ~~~~May~~~~ just for you Marie!!

It is bedtime here but I did forget to tell you that the 'rash' does have a name, it is Pityriasis Rosea and he said to expect it to be around for 2 or 3 months, sometimes more. It really isn't a big deal but it is visible as it is mostly on my arms and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be passing something to my babies!! He says no.

Have a nice day tomorrow, Wed. already!! I have to go to the dentist tomorrow morning and then with Neil to the podiatrist in the afternoon to get his nails trimmed and callouses shaved off. If it isn't one thing it is another.

Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

Sandydur

Oh Gayla, I am so sorry I didn't mention in my last post how happy I was that Neil is recovered from his surgery. Is he still talking about wanting to go to the home again?

I am going to look up your rash, since I have had a problem with my head (careful Barb) forever. It is very annoying and I have had it before and the doctor prescribed a $200 foam but I haven't refilled it, hoping it would go away. It could be from hair spray but I would never be able to give it up since my hair is so fine.

Bingo tonight, no good luck wishes please. :laugh:

Marie, we miss you and still praying for a fast recovery.

Today I will do the 30 day shred and maybe the elliptical which I haven't been on in a long time.

Good Morning!

Beautiful morning here today! Rain is coming though, Sandy you may be getting it now. I am heading out for a swim here in a few minutes, and then some household chores. Pretty quiet day!

Gayla I hope Neil recovers rapidy, and you get some deserved time for Gayla!

Birdie there were about 300 in last Sundays race, I came 52nd overall and 2nd in my age group. I have been looking at a triathlon for the late summer in RI. I will keep you posted if I decided to do it. It will depend on my cash flow! LOL

Sandy just a quck note for you! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! And! Do you realize how hard it is for me NOT to comment on the head rash statement??? It's killing me! ROFLMAO!

Everyone have a great day!

Jeffrey

Sandydur

Jeffrey, YOU ARE A BRAT!!!!!!!!

BirdieM

Okay you two....stop fighting!!!LOL:laugh: Just jumping in to say that my weight stayed the same this week. I'm happy with that, as I really was not real disciplined over the weekend,:blushing: didn't drink much water (over the weekend):ohwell: and went a little over my calories yesterday...with Merlot Barb!!:laugh: So staying stable is real progress for me at this weight! I lOVE life and LOVE living it to the fullest...so if I can be a LITTLE off and stay the same.....something is working! I really believe drinking a lot of water, exercising and eating moderately are key! (Having a LITTLE bit of something, as opposed to eating the whole thing, is a lesson in moderation.:flowerforyou: ) If something sets me off, then I have to be honest about just leaving it alone.:happy:
Got to get back to work!
Have a blessed day!!!

Hello-

Have been running all day, mom to physical therapy consult and then grocery shopping (she came along so it took longer, but it got her out of the house and doing a little walking).

Gayla--When you gave the name of your condition--Pityriasis Rosea--remembered it as being something my mom had about 50 years ago. She didn't remember much about it, but said it went away in a few weeks.

Sandy--Like Jeffrey, it won't be easy, but I will refrain from making any "rash" statements about the condition of your head--inside or out!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Birdie--Glad you are enjoying life.

I am posting from my parents' and the doggies are home and haven't yet taken their walk, so I need to get moving and see if my house is still standing.

Barb

Hey everyone! Glad the rashes are giving everyone a chance to have a laugh. :laugh: Neil saw the podiatrist today and as always it is one step forward and two back with him. The very tip of one of the incision lines (between his toes) is open and sticky along with a granuloma (a tiny pouch of little blood vessels). We will treat it with betadine and hope it dries up, if not back to the surgeon. He said to cancel the fitting for shoes due to the open area. Kind of frustrating and Neil is stressing about it a bit. Hopefully in a couple of days it will be on the mend.
I haven't heard from Marie or Alice. I will send a note today.

WTG Birdie!!
So now Barb is running, good job!
Barbie and Jake -- Enjoy the weather when it isn't raining. Our snow is nearly gone.
Jeffrey -- Hope you get to RI. One day I would like to go there but not to run.
Sandy -- I won't wish you luck!! Just have fun.
Hope everyone else is having a great day.

Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

Take care and keep smiling.

jeffrey71

Good Evening!

Gayla keep the faith sister! It will all get better. I hope Neil heal well.

Well I swam today..... I did the mile! 53 minutes for 1,800 yards. Just a little over a mile! I am triathlon ready now, just need to work on my speed in all events. I also ran 3 miles and then a plyometric workout for an hour. I am beat!

Sandy! See I wasn't the only one! LOL

Everyone have a great day and would someone email me with Marie's status? Thanks!

Jeffrey (AKA AARP eye candy) roflmao!

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, I'll bet you really are AARP eye candy after all your workouts......I just found a site with animated demonstrations of a plyometric workout......my back hurts just looking at the exercises but them, I've been doing low impact workouts for years.........are you still doing yoga along with all the triathlon training?

:flowerforyou: Gayla, we had frost on the housetops this morning and wind this afternoon....sorry to hear about Neil's setbacks with his feet.

:flowerforyou: Birdie, one of the best lessons I've learned is to stay away from something that I can't eat in moderation.....I know how to eat no ice cream and I know how to eat the whole carton, but moderation doesn't work for me with sweets...I love hearing your cheerful attitude

:flowerforyou: I got up early this morning and had time for pilates and the exercise bike before going to line dance......then I did about 30 minutes of wii sports (batting, bowling, tennis, and golf) before going to the dog park and a few minutes ago I did 20 minutes of yoga....so today I get a sticker on the calendar.

:flowerforyou: Today was the line dance teacher's birthday and someone brought a huge chocolate cake and apple juice......I admired the cake but didn't eat any.....one woman said something about the cake being her lunch.....I can't imagine substituting cake for stuffed peppers and salad.....my body deserves better than a sugary lunch.

:flowerforyou: I, too, am anxious to hear what's going on with Marie.
hugs Barbie

Hi,

I got home and found the condo still in one piece, and some very lonesome babies in need of a walk and some TLC from "momma." We did get out in the sunshine for almost an hour. Good thing as it rained later in the evening, as usual.

I hope Gayla can give us some good news soon about Marie. We need her to get well!!

Gayla, there is "running" and there is "running"--but it does bring a smile to think of myself out on the track jogging away.

Good night all. I am busy with HOA business tonight and just stopped to take a break from emails.

Barb

jeffrey71

Good Morning!

Another beautiful morning here! I am still a little beat up from yesterdays workout. I will probably ride my bike today and test out the new computer I put on it. I have made the final 8 out of 1500 for a position with a firm out of Chicago. I started reviewing and practicing for the panel interview that I have tomorrow. I would really like this position. It is a sales job that will have some travel but nothing extreem.

Not a lot else going on here. I enjoy this type of day!

Sandy did you win last night?

Barbie the plyometrics is brutal. I do the P90X version. I think you can find a youtube video of part or all of it. It is worth a look. I am still doing the yoga but I have modified some of it to take some pressure off of my knee. The knee is really doing quite well right now compared to where it was 6 weeks ago.

By the way! I did post a new weight!

Gayla, Birdie, and everyone else have a great day!

Jeffrey

Sandydur

Good Morning!!

Yes Jeffrey I did win, $50 and a chance to pick off a big board for $4000 but picked the wrong number. I also won $17 in a bingo game so I guess you didn't jinx me after all even if you don't listen. :laugh: You remind me of my two brothers who teased me all the time and used to take my dolls and hang them by their necks and knock their bodies off with a baseball bat. They both grew up normal and not serial killers. Boys will be boys. :laugh:

It is beautiful here as well, I am loving our weather and can't wait for the pool to open.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day, the cleaning girl will be here shortly and I need coffee.

Sandy

TexasAngelBeth

Hi All,
I don't have much time but any news on Marie?
Beth

BirdieM

Goodmorning all! Hope everyone is well! :happy:

Hang in there Gayla! God draws straight with crooked lines. My mother always said that God won't give you more than you can handle....but then she would say...."I think sometimes He overestimates us! LOL:laugh:

Jeffrey I will say a prayer for your job interview and if you ever come to RI, let me know! It's so small, I'm sure we'll pass each other at some point:laugh:

Barbie, after talking about being honest about foods that trip us up....last night I overate some Ranch Rice Cakes!:noway: This is not the first time! So guess what I'm NOT buying anymore!:flowerforyou: I can deal with ice cream if I'm out and get a small serving....but buying a container....forget about it!!! :noway: That thing would call me all night ! I don't have ANY sweets in the house for the same reason. But Rice cakes seemed harmless however that flavor is just addicting! I don't seem to have that type of a problem with other carbs:ohwell: It's a journey and descerning these things are part of the process Here's where the honesty comes in. I'm sure I will be tweeking my food some more as I go along. What is key to me here....is the honesty.:happy:

How's the business going Elli??

Sandy: I can't believe how lucky you are with winning money! Good for you! Glad the "Curse of Jeffrey" didn't work:laugh:

Marie...get well! And Barb....stay on TRACK :laugh:

Greetings to everyone else...and have a great day!!!!

BirdieM

Lafla

Hi y'all! I haven't heard from Marie and now I am worried. I sent her an email last night but tonight I will send Alice an email if I still have her address.
We had snow flurries today but they didn't stick around. The weatherman tells us that tomorrow will see sunshine. I am ready.

Birdie -- Thanks for your Mom's words, I think he has really overestimated me this time. It has been a tough week and will share it all with you soon.

Jeffrey -- Fingers crossed for the job. I wish I could be on the finish line when you come charging by!!

Barbie -- Chocolate will undo me. This was the day I was supposed to join WW as my mother's day gift to me. However, Dave thinks I should pick a different day than my work day. Seems he doesn't like me to be gone for both lunch and dinner. If I thought it was because he missed me I might feel tickled but I know he just needs a cook and someone to entertain Neil. :laugh: My new plan is next Wed! Wed. is a day we rarely have anything else on, so much for being frugal and getting it done all in one day.

Beth -- How is the running going? As soon as I hear from Marie I will let you know.

Sandy -- Way to go on the win. You really are a lucky gal!! even with Jeffrey's jinx!

Barb -- Don't work too hard! Glad you had time to drop in and say hello.

Hope everyone else is doing grand. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

Hey Everyone,

I have news about Marie!! She is home. See the quote below. I had posted a message on the Jack Russell Club thread to let that group know why they hadn't heard from her since the end of April. She apparently got on her pc long enough to post this message. I am sending her a pm with a link to the May thread in case she had trouble finding it.

Being weakened, she probably couldn't spend a lot of time looking for us, so that may be why she didn't post anything here.

Here is her message from the other thread:

Hello to all of you. i made it home last night. Feeling pretty good but still weak so ai will be dropimg in some but but bery often.I sure have missed you guys. missed you guys.

Barb,

Thanks for the update on Marie!

Marie if you are up and reading, get well soon! I have missed you!

Jeffrey

Ran 5.5 miles last night, rode the bike 14 miles, and did my strength and ab workout. This old man is tired today. This afternoon we are going to Indy to pick up Amanda at the airport. She coming home for Sam's graduation. I have a panel interview for the job at 11:30 today. I hope it goes well. I have made the final 8 out of 1,500. We are supposed to get very rough weather this afternoon so it may be a fun trip to Indy.

Everyone have a great day!

Jeffrey Again!

Good to hear from you Beth, all you ladies and gents are so busy lately, but that is a good thing. :bigsmile:

Glad to hear you are home Marie, we missed you so much and pray for a speedy recovery with lots of strength. Just don't overdo anything, take it easy until you feel good.

Just finished the Julian Michaels shred level 1, it is quite a workout for an old lady like me, but I managed to get through it with just one small pause during jumping jacks. Later a walk with Daisy and I should gain some calories. :happy:

Going to a Mother's Day program at my granddaughter's preschool so I better get moving. (it seems that is all we do, move, move move.)

Welcome back Marie, we sure did miss you.:sad: Don't worry about the confusion, some of us are younger than you and get so confused it isn't funny. You just take it easy and take it one day at a time.

Went to watch my 4 year granddaughter ice skate this morning. She does a good job for her age, considering I have never ice skated. :noway: I did roller skate as a kid and I liked that a lot, more for meeting the boys I think. :laugh:

Chilly day here, had to put on the heat to get the chill out of the house. We will still take Daisy on her walk but will be wearing a warm jacket. :glasses:

Hope all are well and have a great weekend.

Sandy
