WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2014

Renny Happy Birthday!:flowerforyou:

It has been a week since I last posted....and 12 pages of conversation...I admit I just skimmed through ...I have been a bit lazy lately...and now my back went out ...lower back so I know it is probably from inactivity...so tonight after work I got in the pool ran my circle lap routine...used the jet that pushes the water into the pool from the filter ( no idea what you call it really...I always call it the blow hole:laugh: ) on my back a couple times, did some leisurely laps of swimming...and my back feels sooo much better...yup, own worst enemy...:blushing:

Spent a nice weekend with dd, we went to NYC to see Aladdin on Broadway (I love Disney)...did not really know what to expect, but it was great, the costumes, the talent...the company danced for pretty much 2.5 hours....how many calories do you think they burn??? We met some cousins for dinner at sardi's...very delicious...and then took the train back home...a very long day, but fun...I don't get enough girl time....hopefully that will change...she is leaving the hospital (she is an RN) and hopefully getting a job with no weekends or holidays...fingers crossed, she has interviewed for a vascular practice and also as a nurse navigator for a breast cancer practice (I think)

Have a good evening...tomorrow new month...new goals..
Have I said I am glad to be back...love the support and sharing from so many like minded women...
Hugs and high fives

Goodnight!

Hi all,
back from a wild week... have not read the posts - just not enough time tonight Hope all are well - and having successes! I taught all week and enjoyed myself but was exhausted; totally !!! Logged in everyday, but did not log everything - started each day with good intentions, and by noon was tasting all sorts of stuff.. but I did walk a ton!!!! and managed to only gain about 1 lb... I totally forgot to check in on Friday(my normal day) so am back on the band wagon and will read and get back in the groove this week.

HAPPY CANADA DAY !

Thank you for the new thread, Barbie. I graded myself on the May goals on the previous thread. Here are my new /old/traditional goals for June: (Don't laugh because they're always the same. These work for me.):laugh:

June Goals:
1. Log every bite and swallow.
2. Cardio exercise at least 3 days a week.
3. Have fun every day.
4. Drink at least two glasses of water daily.

I find that I no longer 'gulp' my food, if I put my fork and/or spoon down between each spoonful.

My goal for June is:
1. Try to lose at least 5lbs a month on my Medical Weight Loss Plan
2. Exercise by walking on my treadmill, do crunches, and walk in the pool. Did that on Saturday and Sunday
3. Drink at least 8 8-ounce glasses a day - no longer constipated or having to drink my Miralax
4. Have fun everyday
5. Enjoy the things I do by painting or drawing at least one picture a month.
6. Try a different medium and learning others. So far, I do oils, pastels, and pencil. Learn watercolor.
7. Track everything that goes in my mouth.

My word for 2014 is “mindful”

May Resolutions (with end of the month comments)
*brush the dogs’ teeth once a week or more (only once)
*yoga once a week (only once)
*plank twice a week (successful with planks increasing from 2 ½ to 3 minutes
*finish updating “important personal information” document (some roadblocks to this, but I made significant progress)

June Resolutions
I was so supremely unsuccessful in May that I’ll use the same resolutions for June
"The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT."

Hi Barbie, I love this site; but, haven't been able to find it easily, even though I thought I had bookmarked it. Went to the very top and bookmarked it again; and that seems to make it easier to find (with the black star). Kept the yellow star, too.

I love this site! So encouraging; but, have decided that I just cannot go back and read the many posts and will try to let it not bother me. Where do you get all you smiley characters that move and such ... more than the ones that MFP has. They have many more, that 'move' on the 'subject line' ... so is that where you find them; and can they be used elsewhere, if so (how to get to them)? My computer's security is so tight it is not allowing me to add a program that has them, such as emoticons.com ! I'm going to make friends with some of the people on this site so that when I am on computer I can see when others post and will know I can keep up from now until later on.

Lenora, you are in the 2014 chat. Find the 2015. Your pics are lovely...very talented.

OK, so how did you find the 2014 (I did not know I was there - just thought I was in the 2015 chat; I went to the original list of threads under motivation (and something) and found the 50+ June (and thought it was 2015). I forget so easily what I am looking at that it isn't even funny. From going to one page and back to another. At one time, it was under Chit-Chat and now I cannot find it . . . it is so far down the list . . . I think a lot of the younger people are posting new threads to that one and a lot of them are pretty 'raunchy' and I don't particularly like 'raunchy' . . . especially what some of them are posting there.
