WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2013

Good morning ladies from a bitingly cold London.

My DD arrives from Germany today and we will be going for a Lebanese meal with her and her BF this evening after work. To be honest I'd rather have her all to myself for a few hours, but need to share as she is only in London until tomorrow morning. I miss my baby girl so much.

Work continues to be hectic. One bonus is that the colleague who doesn't play well with others, is on holiday for three weeks. Unfortunately the owner of the gallery decided to give our assistant two and a half weeks off at the same time. So - there's me! I can see me needing a holiday by the end of my stint. The trouble is, I'm not likely to get one until about August as there is a continual flow of events and occasions between now and then.

I have to get on with work, but will try to catch up with you all later.

Big love all round

Happy Friday and here's wishing everyone a great weekend!:drinker:
Wessecg , So happy to read your news about Jackson!

Morning my dear friends,
I was up and got to the gym,I was only there 45 minutes and I guess it's better than nothing but still, I dont know Im not feeling it:grumble: I havent had time to just sit and read the Pain Free book will try and do that this weekend, and the scale keeps going up and down, I log my food daily ,yesterday was a bad day, ate a bit more than I should have and not great stuff either but am getting back on track today...
I really want to lose weight and I havent been putting my whole heart into it because I have heel pain,I dont want to re injure it by doing something I shouldnt but ,I want to shed more and quicker, I know I know~ slow and steady wins the race and all these I wants isnt good either:ohwell:
Still cold here in Ct the sun is coming up and the birds are singing so thats a good sign
And we will be going on the cruise.DH I decided we have already booked it and are looking at this whole process this way..
We have warning of the inevitable, and can plan for it, going to talk with DH this weekend about maybe going to see a financial planner that could help us get things in order to be able to downsize.
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and will pray that all goes well.
Thank you for the prayer's for my friend Ray.. will fill you in once I hear about cause of renal failure,but hopefully they will spring him early next week.
So nice to have friends to talk to about lifes ups and downs, anyone from the Ct. area maybe we can get a New England Contingent together:happy:

Good morning ladies!

I am doing better drinking the water and logging my food ... next goal is to exercise more. Why does it seem so difficult to put a dvd in the player? Or turn on the Wii? Sometimes I think I should remove all the furniture out of the den so that I can't sit down because once I do, I don't do the things that I SHOULD be doing :embarassed:

You just keep doing it for you. If DH wants to join you i'm sure you will Welcome him.

Glenda
That is so maddening. But Hello and hope you have a great weekend.

Lisa
Enjoy the party not the food

Jane
That is called mother's intuition.

Sue in Sd
You still have a week to get the voice up to par.
If that loss was for a week great loss.

LuAnn
I don't know what spring your talking about. Right now hubby is out there pushing snow with the plow truck.
Only springs I see are bed springs or slinky maybe.

Jacky
My flower beds are still under 3 feet of snow.

Brooke
Good for you new pants means down another size.

Laura
Yes busy is crazy. Hardly time for here.

Grandmaille
Missing the gym is ok once and awhile gives the body a break.
Planning a cruise are you.

Cheryl
30 is at your door almost there.
Nice that Jackson is improving.

Deborah
Sorry to hear about the passing of your father in law.
But i'm sure you will all do what's best for Mother in law.
She knows you all care for her wellfare.

Michele
I like finding recipes with nutrional value and the calorie count in them.
There is a lot of good sites on here. Hardly look at recipe books any more.

Kate
We should see grass sometimes in June. Think you and I are in the same mess.
I'm in Northern Ontario. Hubby is out pushing snow with the plow truck right now.
Terrible what happened in Leduc. We stayed at the little Lion's camp ground there in 2009
On our way to Alaska.

Katla
Happy anniversary to you and yours

Tammy
Glad to see all is well. Enjoy the girls next weekend.

Barbie
I can see you making it to 100. Like my grandma used to say they went by with the whellbarrel of death and forgot me again.
You will be to busy with dancing they won't be able to catch you lol.

Ma
Enjoy your time with sister and swimming.

Lynda
Welcome

Jen
Why Monday what's wrong with Friday TODAY

Not all caught up far from it. But checked part of 20th and 21st and will be back later but right now running out of time. Things to do. Started something new. Setting goals not only for my weight but housework as well. So need to get the to do list caught up.
Did blood work Good. Did wii Good. So now to put in a good day so tomorrow will show the same results as today.

Here's a saying as old as old is. If you always do what you always did. Then don't expect change. You will get what you always got.

See you lighter
Linda in snowy Northern Ontario.

:flowerforyou: TGIF,

Katla- Congrats on 43 years:drinker:

Sue- great loss:flowerforyou:

tammy-glad for a positive report from you. So happy to hear that your DD returned from her trip I'm sure you will have a lot of time over Easter to pour over her pictures:flowerforyou:

Deborah- {{hugs}} to you :flowerforyou:

MA- doing C25K I'm impressed...I've wondered about that:huh: but can't say I've wondered enough to want to try it....maybe someday.

Cheryl- glad for a positve report on Jackson:flowerforyou:

Meg- congrats on wearing those scrubs (glad you had them to wear) :flowerforyou: maybe you should get one of those fitbits so you can see how many steps you do in a day at work with your building being so hugh I'm sure you walk way more than you imagine.

Amanda-enjoy your visit with your D albeit short:flowerforyou: You do sound busy.

No more time to comment as I have a lot to do and only a few hours to get it done. Last night I rode the bike in the basement and today I will get in a half hour of the Shred with Jillian, have made an appointment to get the tires rotated on the car and a new storm is on it's way so I will try to get all the errands done before it gets here. Last night I found myself in bed and started wondering what I had forgotten:ohwell: and yep once again I forgot to post my dinner and sign out:blushing: I just find myself so busy in the evenings especially when hubby changes the routine on me like he did last night...I'll get it in one of these days

Everyone have a wonderful Friday. Congrats to all of you that have lost, exercised and are drinking all your water...Let's keep it up so we can continue to post those losses and victories:drinker:

:flowerforyou: See you all lighter! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: (marking my spot for later)

Good morning lovely ladies. Any of you that get Canadian news may have seen that we were hit with a major spring snow:noway: - highways closed, 100 car pileup....we missed the worst of that here in the south but things are still pretty white and icy this morning!! We havedefinitely had more winter in March than we have in January and February!!:ohwell:

Kate and Deborah - I am thinking you might have some shovelling to do up there in the Edmonton area! Take it easy and be careful if you are walking or driving...take it slowly!:ohwell:

Colorado ladies- loved the photo and am definitely a tiny bit jealous of your lunch date!

Cheryl - so glad to hear that prayers are being answered and Jackson is doing better. It is so hard to see these destructive behaviours that bring such unnecessary and devastating results, and bring pain and anguish to everyone close by. Praying for continued healing, for strength and grace for all, for better choices.

Mary - So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Alzheimers is such a sad disease that robs not only the patient but family and friends too. I know family wil be a real support in this time of loss, and know that many here are also caring for aging and infirm parents, or mourning the loss of a parent. We all send prayer and hugs.

jmk - God IS working. It is so good that hubby had quick and effective medical care. Hope all went well with the revision (?) and praying for continued healing and for strength and patience for the process.

bj - What wonderful victories in weight and health! And so well said - our lives are not, and never will be, perfect but we move on from this point and go forward as we can. Good work!:flowerforyou:

Deedee - Okay my dear, it is DEFINITELY time for you to start behaving! Look after yourself, follow doctor's orders and get yourself well!! Sometimes our bodies just need a rest to recover

Meg - Sounds like you are getting LOTS of steps in! Good job on the walking, the progress AND in fitting into those scrubs:happy: And good for you to celebrate these steps forward!

Well, let's see if we post this time....or lose it once again:grumble:

Have a great day all and a wonderful weekend. Live grace.

Glenda...still waiting for spring

Good Morning Everyone, I am still new to MFP. My name is Debora I am 52 Live in Cold Lake Alberta. Married to an Airforce Supply Tech. I haven't been doing my fitness pal for long. I was doing well until last week hit a snag , out of routine and lots of stress. I meandered away from my goals for a couple of days. I sure burned some calories this morning shovelling snow before work for a half an hour.
I look forward to reading more posts from everyone.

Have a good day
Debora

Katla: Sore in the morning is the story of my life. You are not the only one. After I get up, stretch, and move around a bit, it feels better. Uncle Arthir (itis) is not a good friend, that's for sure. Doing stretching exercises does help, though.
