WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2013

Hi Vit F people! The last week was torture! The workers came a week ago Monday and left this Monday at 8 pm. We had to move everything out of the bathroom (we were told we wouldn't have to) so it was a huge mess. I've spent the last two days putting things back in place. Did provide me a perfect opportunity to go through everything and get rid of a lot of "stuff"
Tonight I'm no hog duty. The feral hogs have torn up our front side yard . We've been dealing with them since July and can't seem to be up when they come. We have a gun but they are really smart. When we stay up with a large flood light on the back yard, they don't come.
I've been able to read the last three days of posts.
Grandmallie - enjoy your trip to FL. I hope you have good weather.
Joyce - you have had a lot on your plate this month. Prayers for you and your family.
Jen - Hi neighbor! We live sw of Ft Worth but moved here from Duncanville. I think I remember that you're applying for a job. I hope it works out for you.
Heather and Robin -congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughters. They are so much fun.
Katia - safe travels. It sounds like a perfect trade to me. Are you pulling the boat home on a trailer?
Meg - sounds like you're still working too hard.
My shift doesn't end until 1 am but I'm getting tired. My 4 DGKs are coming for the weekend so I really need to get everything finished up tomorrow. I'd like to get my fall decorations out so the house will look festive for them.
I haven't gotten to weigh in this week as I didn't know where my scale was hiding. I feel like I've gained but whatever it is, that will be what it is. There's nothing else I could do this week.
Take care everyone and remember tomorrow is another day.

No time this am, but congratulations to Robin. Aren't we lucky!

Joyce - the next few days will be super busy. Look after yourself. :flowerforyou:

There is not much going on my way...except I cannot let myself go outside for a short walk...I am still struggling..also I am so tired..must be a flare up of the Fibro...I get dizzy a lot...but I still try to do my Leslie Sansone exercise..I stand up ...wait a bit till the world stops spinning.....do some exercises....stops the tape.....rest..then try again...I will beat this :grumble: might be a good time to do some exercises lying down....ahhh...unless I fall asleep while lying there.....my life is so interesting...zzzzzz

We have a blustery day here today and will be going to the department of motor vehicles to get the boat trailer licensed for the trip home. It hasn’t been out on the road in some time, and the license has expired. I think we’ll leave for home as soon as we get a break in the weather. I had a chat with SIL last night and explained why we wanted the boat and I think she’s feeling better about the trade. I’m happy about that.



Heather: Congratulations on your new granddaughter. Eliza Daisy is a really cute name.:flowerforyou:

Robin: Congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter, Andelane Bailey Roberts. :flowerforyou:

JenninTX: Good luck with the potential job.:flowerforyou:

Poerava: I’ve been missing you. I’m so glad you posted. :bigsmile:

Joyce: Your mother in law is now with the Lord. She was so lucky to have had you in her life. I’m glad the some of the family was able to be there at the end, for her sake and also to reconnect with each other. Hugs to you.:flowerforyou:

Hello...I am new to this plan. I am wondering what kind of success other 50 plus women have had with this program..

Dierdre- 51 lbs and counting since January.... welcome and you will enjoy all the advice and friendship that all us ladies have to offer:bigsmile:
16,000 steps today and hopefully the scale will show it tomorrow, working early, so dont know if I will be able to get on in the morning

Grandmallie,
Thank you for your encouragement and congrats on your success. Any tips?

Today was a nice day. I went to work and it was busy which I like and then went to the Y for my walk & bike ride. Yup even on my birthday I went to the Y :noway:

My DD made me a nice dinner, no cake though but I requested no cake. I think I will splurge on Saturday when we go out for dinner. I just spoke with my DS and his GF is going to join us...yay. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better.

Dierdre- 65 lbs and counting since the beginning of the year. It's about taking baby steps and calories in and calories out. Stick around there is a lot of wisdom here in this group.

Joyce - just don't forget to take care of yourself through these trying days.

Congrats to Heather & Robin on the new babies, they are both so darn cute. I am looking forward to being a grandmother but I think I'm going to have to wait for at least a few more years.

Have a good night all & sleep well

Sandy from ON
