WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2014

Good morning beautiful ladies:flowerforyou:

Hope everyone has a wonderful happy healthy day!!!

Just popping in. The funeral was rough but the DGD's did OK. My daughter and their father are divorced but still civil and the twins grandmother was a huge part of their life, she was a fine lady and will be missed.
I am feeling overwhelmed with all I've taken on lately but am hanging on. I have my ab routine ready for today and have added some ne oblique exercises to it. I've also got one (hopefully solid) water aerobic routine ready. I sure wish I could have found some noodles for class but every store I went to had none left.
I told the Y I was teaching at LA Fitness, my boss is suppose to talk to her boss and see what is said. I've worked there for close to 9 years now and still make minimum wage, I understand it is a non profit and that most of those years I've only worked say 3 hrs a week but I paid my own way to become a personal trainer and I also want to retire from my full time position as soon as possible so the money I make matters more now. I can't believe the difference in pay between the two places. I plan to pick up as many classes as a sub as I can and will try to get on sub list for some of the other classes as well. My boss at the Y is going to ask to be able to give me a raise too.
Sorry I haven't read the posts, I hope everyone is doing well. Thoughts and prayers to those struggling.
Take care, Patty Cincinnati OH

Sitting in Heathrow, waiting to go to the gate.:bigsmile:

Had a nice slimming noodle and chicken soup for lunch. Clear broth with chillies. Didn't eat the chillies!

DH is a bit stressed, but will be fine. He hates planes as he is claustrophobic.

See you much later.

Popping in to save my place.

Alison, if you don't feel better soon, please get to a doctor.

Heather, safe travels!

Be good to yourselves everyone!

Good morning everyone! I'm stuck at home today. I was having a dream that I was on a small boat in a rough ocean and I was dizzy and queasy. Well, I woke up and was dizzy and queasy. I ate breakfast and showered (carefully) and felt some better, so I went to walk the kids to school. Afterward went to the gym, where I met up with hubby, and got so dizzy I couldn't finish. We left my van at the Y and he drove me home. I feel fine till I stand up or move my head. Blood pressure is fine, so it's not that. Hubby wondered if it was low blood sugar, but I had frosted mini wheats for breakfast, like I always do, so I think I had plenty of sugar. So, it's a good thing my van is 8 miles away. I don't use good judgement sometimes, so I'd be out driving around. He will take me to pick it up this evening. But I will miss out on walking the kids home after school today.

So, I'm going to lie down for a while. Maybe I just didn't get enough sleep.

Have a great day, everyone!

Sylvia

Hello ladies,

Katla - prayers for your DH today.

Heather - safe flight and can't wait to hear all about your daily outings.

Beth - hope your soreness in your mouth goes away quickly and your son finds relief soon

Lesley - very interested in hearing what the dietician has to say.

Sylvia - hope you're feeling much better with no dizziness when you awaken.

Carol - praying for good news concerning the crack and that the people are still interested. I don't think it's unusual for people to be willing to make an offer and include repairs as part of the deal. If someone really likes the house and the repair is fixed, I don't see a problem with doing that. When we bought our house there were several things that needed to be done first. The sellers agreed and issues were addressed to our satisfaction.

Cindy - Brian is adorable.

Welcome to the new(er) ladies. :flowerforyou:

Sitting at my desk at work trying to keep my eyes open. :yawn: I didn't sleep well last night so this morning I turned the alarm off and went back to sleep for another couple of hours. Called my boss and told her I would be in a few hours late so got here about 11:30. I probably would have taken the whole day off but I have an important meeting from 3:00 - 4:30. May have to resort to coffee right before the meeting. :ohwell:

We are planning a trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina starting on Oct. 18th for a week. We've been looking at things to do and day trips to Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA sound like something we would like. Hoping for nice weather so we can do some kayaking, biking and walking the beach. The crowds should all be gone so will enjoy the less hurried pace.

Well I had this started once and had made some commets and now it is just gone. So Sorry about that as not going to start over. I am having one of those days. The people in the house next door (they have not been there a month) dicided to stay up alnight with company. The back deck is right across from my bedroom window. So that kept me awake and finally around 1:30 I went out to the sofa, but didn't help alot. This last weekend just flew by, but I did get my rock garden dug out and the liner put down. The rocks we had that we put back in only filled about 1/4th of it, so going to see if I can get some white rock to finish it. Then yesterday I mowed the yard. It takes me about 3 hours as we have a double lot. I got over 17,000 steps. Weigh in this morning was not good and I am trying not to let it get me down. Like someone said, when you fall off the wagon the important thing is to get back on.

Syliva--Great NVS at the theater. I bet you looked so nice. I know what you mean about fiting in chairs now. I am surprised when I go and not have to push myself in and have everything hurt. WOW!! I am so glad you were not hurt any worse. How scary! If you are not feeling less dizzy

Katla--congrates on getting signed up for your riding lessons. Sounds like alot of fun.

Joyce--I love the gag gift deal with your DB. When my dad was alive we had this ugly turkey plater we passed around. Whoever got it got to pick who would get it the next year. And we would wrap it up fancy. Thanks for giving me that memory. Great ideas for the display.

Heather--I just love hearing about your trip and getting ready. I am so excited for you. I understand how DH feels. I am very claustrophobic and when it comes there is no waring. I say if I tried to fly I would be the one arrested for trying to open the door or window to get out.

Allison--Glad to hear DB's party went well. Hope you are feeling better. I agree that you more then likely needed the sleep.

Katka--Keeping you and DH in my prayers for his surgery.

Brenda--Many Hugs and prayers for you and DD. My mom and dad's anniversary was this last Aug and the first one since dad passed. I sent mom a thinking of you card and made sure to call her. Some of her friends took her out for most the day. It would of been their 41st. I am sure whatever you do, she will be ok with.I know when our children are hurting we want to make everything alright for them. The hardest part is just being there. I agree with the griefshare group. I voluteer with Hospice and we had a group for those who lost their family member. The one thing I noticed is they were so good at helping each other because they were going thru the same feelings.

Barbie--Prayers for Jake and the famly. It is hard to lose a sibling. That was nice of Jake to send the goodies home with his friend. I bet it was interesting to watch them cut down a 100 foot tree. My DH cut down our apple tree that was dying and I thought I should of taped it for AFV. He got the chain saw stuck and used the pickup to pull the tree the rest of the way down. I just stayed out of his way and tried not to let him see me laugh.

Beth--Sorry to hear DS#2 is ill again. I know how you feel when all you feel you have control over is eating and then not really as eating everything in site. I keep thinking if I just eat the right thing everything will all the sudden be better. HAHA! Mimi has it right. It may feel good while we are eating, but afterwards not so good!!

Sue--this might be a dumb question, but I have a problem with my thinning hair. When I was younger it was so thick. How do you take brewer's yeast? Can you get it in pill form. Thanks.

DeeDee--gotta love those Aunts.

It is that time of day when I am need to finish up somethings. Thank all of you ladies for being here and all the support.

Not feeling good today so not writing much.

Barbie, my condolences to you and your husband. If he is anything like you he is a good and loving person and even though it is difficult for him now, with your support he will get through it OK.

Sylvia, you take care. No more fainty spells for you.

Vicki. I remember many years ago our Sunday school class in the church I was in had an annual Christmas party. WE had a white elephant gift. We also had a tradition about this one particular gift. Some one had done what I am sure they thought was a wonderful and cute DIY craft thing. Some one made this small wooden commode. But the bowl was used as a flower pot. So it was the one gift that was given and regiven every year. The challenge was to make it wrap it so that it was very desirable. Eventually every one knew that the best wrapped gift was that one.

I woke up, well I actually had it all night, with such a headache. It's funny, in my dream last night, I had a bad headache but all I had to do was go to Venice Italy and some one there would clear it up. But it had to be every time. I guess I have been reading to much about George Clooney. Anyway I just have not felt lie eating today. My calorie intake for today is something like 600 calories. I may got o bed waaaaay early tonight.
