WOMEN AGES 50+ for April

A Birthday Song for Lynn:
Makes me think of the good old days, happy birthday to you!
You sure grew out of your baby ways, happy birthday to you!
It's your birthday, we wish you many more,
Health and wealth and friends by the score!
Now tune up the fiddle, and let's dance some more!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

I just joined , have lost 28 pounds and want to lose 11 more. I run half marathons and whole marathons and I am almost 60. Love exercising, water arobics and strength training. I plan to live to be a very old yet fit grandmother. I have eight children and so far ten grandchildren.

YES IT IS!~!! How did you know ... HAAAA

Hi All,

I have used the MFP app on my iPhone for a while to track my weight and exercise, along with other motivators, but then fell off the wagon.

For April, I want to get back on track and lose 1 kg per week.
I also want to walk at least three times per week.

Looking forward to seeing how the forum works!

I'm back!! Thanks for the "shout-out" Lyn....between being soooo busy, but mostly just discouraged, I took a break from posting and logging in. But spring has sprung and I'm feeling renewed....as most of you seem to be as well.

It's my Spring Break and there is a very long list of tasks to work on....preping and planting the veggie garden is on the calendar for tomorrow....Wed should be massage and hot tub...LOL....but it's all good exercise and we will enjoy the fresh veg come summer.

Weather has warmed and I can finally enjoy that new screen door on the back of the house....love hearing the birds in the trees back there.

Hey Mimi...your Costco and Trader Joes run "down the hill" makes it sound like you might be in my backyard...you're not from Idyllwild, are you??

Happy Birthday Lynn:smooched:

Good evening ladies,
Okay we just got the weather. Whoever sent it to us, next time keep it. All of a sudden the wind starting really blowing. Kenneth asked if back of house was open, meaning windows. I said just our bedroom. He got up looked out toy room window and say oh my, pool cover was off pool and emma's trampoline was upside down straddling the fence. He had to go out in rain and tie it down so it would not fly further. He HATES getting wet. then since he was already wet he pulled pool cover all way off and we started pump and put flotron in and added chemicals. I'm not sure if I shared this with you ladies, but a few months back Heather called and asked if we could keep emma's trampoline here because unless they got a fence the insurance would drop them. they have a huge yard (nearly 2 acres and would be very hard to fence in) So we said of course. I called to tell her tonight that I just dont think that trampoline was meant to be. IT is not damaged, I dont think. Hope if you are getting this weather you stay safe. Hopefully it will be over soon. Take care ladies.

Dee - but do you know if the OdoBan just removes what human's can smell or does it remove the odor so that the cat (or dog) doesn't return to the spot? I washed a sleeping bag and it's out on our porch right now drying. I just got so sick of smelling that urine smell. It really wasn't bad, but occasionally I'd get a whif of it when I passed by where the sleeping bag was.

There are things that I like about the Wii and things that I don't. I would definitely recommend the WiiFit Plus, not the regular Wii. I can't remember the last time I used the regular Wii. I also have the Personal Trainer disk, but I find that I don't use that too much, either. Yet, it got good reviews. I do want to check out the reviews of the dance disks.

Was in the high 70's here today. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the low 60's. Talk about up and down! Tomorrow night I'll be going to this gal's house to play Mexican Train Dominoes. I'm going to be bringing raw veggies with me.

I did an hour of Leslie Sansone's walking DVD and then an hour of a PowerCuts class. Tomorrow I'll do an hour step DVD.

Amanda - lots of good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

chicklet - Good luck on the move. I know that you'll be happy and will make friends quickly.

Natalie - big congrats on the loss! All good things come to those who wait, that's for sure.

shirlee - welcome! I look forward to hearing especially about your workouts. I, too, love exercising. Do it almost every day. Sometimes, tho, I do have a problem in that I get bored doing the same things over and over. Hopefully, you'll give me some ideas.

Trisha - welcome! I knew someone would answer your question about how you'd find us again, and kackie sure did!

Here's hoping everyone has a fantastic evening!
