    Just spent 3 days getting rid of malware and a virus from when I first accessed the forum after the format change. Sheesh! I don't know that I'll go back and read all, but hope to keep up again going forward.

    Had a wonderful drive out and walks with husband and dog yesterday, Sunday.
    Livinglite is for people taking Duramine and gives meal ideas. Today I had the mushrooms, tomato and scrambled egg on toast for breakfast. Dinner is their Creamy mustard chicken with potatoes (in slow cooker) plus green beans, mix fruit and custard.
    Scales hmm gained 0.22 lbs, mostly lean muscle, BF% same at 27.69%, but lost 0.75 ins overall. I have lost 6.25 ins in 6 weeks.
    Training today is: Jeannette's cardio dance; jeannette's cardio kick-boxing and 40 minute dog walk.

    Did 45 minutes of Leslie Sanson's Start Walking DVD today. Tomorrow's plan is to do more of the butt lift DVD, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.

    Yesterday I had shorts on, today it is so cool that I am wearing pants (boo). Put in a load of laundry

    Sylvia - thanks for the link. It didn't work. However, I went onto Lowe's website and put in "tiki torch planter" and saw it. We're not crazy about solar lights, they don't seem to emit enough light. All our landscape lights are the low voltage. Except for one. But that's really not meant for illumination. It's a mold of a cat and the eyes light up from the solar. We usually have the cat "looking" at the gate. But that's the only solar light that we have. However, it's something to think about. Going from the upper patio to the pool area we have lights on the side of the stairs. What Vince did to raise the height of the one at the top of the stairs so that it would be about the same height as the rest is he put the light into a piece of PVC pipe. Now that wouldn't look real good by the pool, but we have done something like that (raise the light). What I'm wondering is will there be enough light coming out of the tiki light? That's one of the reasons we nixed the idea of a lighthouse -- the light is inside the lighthouse. So sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you get better fast

    Loved all the pics

    Deb - don't wear yourself out!!!!

    Vince picked up his glasses yesterday. They're bifocals, the top part doesn't have any correction and the bottom has the minor correction he needs. I guess I can understand why he did what he did, however, the glasses are these big lenses. I know that he got big lenses so that they'd be like his sunglasses. It just seems to me that they are "old-looking", like something my father wore or the people at senior bowling.

    Oh, that's right, have to get my carrots together for senior bowling tomorrow.

    Mary and really anyone else - I just remembered that one of the things I do on Halloween, since I'm the one giving out the candy, is I made a BIG bowl of air popped popcorn. I try to snack on that rather than the candy.

    Mary - I love that the poem was so forceful and true.

    vicki - glad gd is better

    Have a question - when I click on the star to get here (the thing that lists your bookmarks), at first it comes up with a box that is blank. Sometimes if I keep clicking on that box, it then registers "women 50 plus", sometimes it doesn't. Is there something else I should be doing?

    Rori - One thing I am not good at is being fast in the water. Wow! I didn't realize that the calorie burn was that much more!

    Sylvia - that pic looks great. You did a wonderful job, very professional looking

    DeeDee - I'm so sorry that Starbucks isn't what you want. I bet you'll find a much better place. Do they maybe have tea? Noel will probably want to go for a walk since when she gets home she gets her fur blowdried!!! lol

    Jane - prayers for Melody

    Got up, exercised, had breakfast and read the paper, then went on the computer but realized that I really needed a short nap so took one. Then went to go see Diary of Anne Frank. It's interesting...I got a different perspective. Last time I saw it I was ushering so I saw it from the back of the auditorium. Today I saw it from the third row. There were things on stage that I didn't see from so far away, actor's facial expressions etc. Even Vince thought it was good, very somber, tho. Came home, had dinner, did a bit of the coursera (nutrition online class), now here. Roasted some butternut squash. Need to take a shower and then off to bed.

    Mahjongg here tomorrow and then Rummikub here on Tuesday. At least I only need to clean the house once .... lol!!!

    Sad family news this week - one of my nephews is diabetic and has had complications with his circulation. They amputated part of his right foot this week and are waiting for some sort of test result on the bone tissue to see if they will take more. He is in his early 50s.
    - hope ya'll have a great week!

    Good morning everyone!

    Michele: I've notice that that star thing sometimes takes a few seconds to "load". Don't know why. Anne Frank play...well, I guess it *would* be somber, wouldn't it? :wink:

    DeeDee: yeah, I had a blister on my hand, too. Last night it was itching and without realizing it I scratched it open! :frowning: Have a bandaid on it today to keep me from touching it.

    Yesterday was sunny and nice. I had to pick up my guy somewhere and decided to take a couple of photos at a cemetery near there. (I do that once in a while for findagrave.com and another site). Amazing coincidence: when we arrived at the graves I was going to photograph, there were family members there! I approached cautiously, greeted them and explained, and they were enthusiastic. They even took a picture of me taking a picture of the grave, and wrote down the name of the site. :smiley: Afterwards the two of us sat outside for a while at a café, until it got too chilly again.

    Today we'll be moving furniture back into the room I posted the picture of. Don't know whether there's any point in trying to log that, or whether I'll just go with the steps my Fitbit gives me. Then I have to spend this week cleaning out the last room of the project. Next week paint and maybe the carpeting, and then we're done for the moment. Yay!

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Cynthia...I search cemetary information when I work on our family tree. I am happy to have the ability to perform electronic searches. Thank you for your part in photographing graves. When I come across a search result that has a picture attached, it is incredibly helpful.

    It is just after 3 am here, and I woke up thinking I heard a sound. But it was nothing.

    Our son arrived from out of province last night. I am thankful he made it safe and sound and we can have a good visit.

    love,

    Good Morning to Al, Crazy week-end and haven't been on the post since sometime last week. We got my daughter moved and although they will be emptying boxes and resettling for a while, the biggest part is done. Saturday night we sat outside and watched the sun set in their back yard, the view was spectacular as they sit up on a big hill.
    I work both jobs Monday through Thursday and then I am in class this week-end for the Cancer survivor training. I am looking forward to it and have all the prep computer work done.
    My second water fitness class went well and everyone said it was a great work out. I'll miss this next Saturday because of class but then be back and ready for the next one.
    I'm sorry I don't have time to read and catch up. Prayers and thoughts for those struggling
    and congrats for all the successes.
    Hugs to All,

    Thanks to all who have posted pics of their grandchildren and pets. The children are all adorable! Drkatiebug---what an amazing change in you, wonderful!!!

    Early work days for both dh and dd today, both gone over an hour. DD has a terrible cold, as predicted. I'm doing the wiping with Lysol/Clorox thing with a bucket of hand sanitizer thrown in. The new job she has is with my friend whose son was killed in a mva a little over a year ago, she is basically doing his job with their horses four days a week; it is just too much for them to handle it all every day of every week. They have a boarding and lesson farm and own a business.

    For some reason I've been having a terrific issue with hot flashes lately...... right now (!!!!) and several times a day. The added knowledge that these have been happening over 20 years now does not make me happy---not fair!!!

    Carol........Thoughts with you and your daughter for a quickly fixable diagnosis and for her to be in less pain. ((Hugs)) to both of you. Please keep us posted.

    DeeDee......I think all grandparents play more freely with the grandkids, I saw my mom (in her 80's) on the floor with my dd!!! I can't remember her even ever playing a board game with me!

    Must go get dressed (again!!!). and work on grocery list.

    Best to everyone.

    Great start to my week. NOT!!! Woke up to my DH screaming the same word over and over. It rhymes with spit, if you need a hint. He likes to check the weather on the computer in the study but doesn't turn on the light. He walked barefoot into my rolling cart, which was pushed in a corner but stuck out just a bit into the doorway. Of course it is my fault! Hopefully there will be no lingering pain, but when he did the same thing to a box of copy paper (also my fault), his toe hurt for two weeks or longer. I do feel badly that he is hurt and somewhat guilty because it was my rolling cart that I could have put away, but honestly! Could the man not just turn on a light and/or look where he is going?

    Y'all have a nice day while my guilty self tries to stay out of DH's radar. Love that man most of the time, but not so much when he is in pain and blaming me.

    It's raining this morning so I'm not sure I'll get my walk this morning. I used to walk in the rain, but when I moved to Florida, people told me it's not safe because of all the lightning here.

    Robin - Thanks for the onion soup instruction. I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well.

    DeeDee - I'm chuckling about the story about your granddaughter, especially your daughter's reaction! I'm not really fond of Starbucks coffee, either. It seems like they often burn it.

    Gardengail - So sorry to hear about your nephew. Also, I've been getting tons of popups since the format change and I wonder if that's related.

    Carol - I hope you can get in a nap after spending your evening in the ER. Is your daughter OK?

    Cynthia - I'm a member of findagrave, too. I've found that some cemeteries are good places to birdwatch, too; a great side advantage to taking pictures.

    I've no special plans for the day so maybe I'll get caught up on some tv.

    Not making much progress on my day yet at all. Looking up tree removal services---finally!!! Tried the pumpkin Greek yogurt from Trader Joe's......to me, yuck!! I'm pretty much in the camp that believes pumpkin belongs in pies only but thought I'd try something new. Also one who doesn't care for Starbucks coffee either. Must head out to the grocery now.
    Got call from Gwen, needs ride to eye dr. tomorrow.

    Carol ... hoping they find a solution to your daughter's dizziness and pain fast! I know how stressful this is ...

    Its raining today, be we have a busy day planned ... DH's birthday ... a lot of cooking ... and then a group of DH's friends are coming over this evening.

    Weekend was busy. Took down a 50yo arborvitae ... huge thing that was clogging the gutters ... we'll never go into the tree felling business that's for sure!

    Heather ... with some of your delicious sounding meals in mind, I thought I would step up our dinner Saturday night. Slow roasted chicken, smashed potatoes with herbed gravy, and French fine green beans with butter and herbs. Well ... my guys liked the chicken and potatoes. The beans, that were seasoned with thyme along with some other herbs were declared a failure because they "tasted like pine trees smell." I loved them. Big babies! :laughing:


    Hope you all have a good day!

    Good afternoon ladies! <3

    I'm worrying sbout Carol's daughter. Hope she's OK. :flowerforyou:

    It's been pouring here all day. Didn't feel like going out to get my passport photo taken, but DH said he'd drive me up to the studio door, so I dolled myself up and off we went. What do you know, it's closed on Monday afternoons. :explode:
    I'm sure he didn't tell me that when I rang up. :grumble:
    So we bought some fruit and veg, went to the bank and came home again, all in the rain.

    Rainy afternoons always make me want to bake so I have just finished 16 delicious scones. We ate one each - I picked the smallest one. I made them triangular shaped in memory of the way my dad used to make them, so they weren't evenly cut. :embarassed: , but quite good for my portion. :laugh:

    So I will have to do the whole getting dolled up fiasco tomorrow.

    Tonight is Chinese Pork and Vegetable Stir Fry. I will have shiritaki noodles with mine.

    The damage from my holiday is officially one and a half pounds, so I am trying to break 600 on the exercise cals every day. 614 today by doing a bit extra cardio. Want to get rid of it asap. We are going up to London on Friday to see the grandchildren and, as it's DH's birthday, DS is cooking us steak for supper, (it has to be tender as DH has trouble chewing!) and will extricate a special bottle of wine from his extensive cellar, (he used to be a wine journalist). Will go over cals that day. Next week I think it's another trip up to see DH 's younger daughter, who has a birthday soon. I hope we will be able to catch the Ming exhibition at the British Museum as she is always incredibly busy and can only spare us an hour or so for lunch. She is deputy editor of a celebrity gossip magazine. :laugh:

    So I have to be good while I can. :ohwell:

    I have so much more energy today, thank goodness. Hope DH doesn't go down with the cold.

    Love Heather in horrible, rainy Hampshire UK

    Mary from South FL: I love the inspirational message! Thanks for sharing it. :flowerforyou:

    Robin: I like your directions for French onion soup! It seems like something I can use even with my lactose intolerance, and DH would LOVE it. I’m going to give it a try. :flowerforyou:

    Renny: Those of us who live in a rainforest seem to spend time indoors. I’m even spending the horse riding time under a roof in a large covered arena. Otherwise we wouldn’t do anything during the fall, winter and spring. I clearly recall you riding bikes and other outdoorsy things during the summer. :laugh:

    Rori: Congratulations on your master swim class. :flowerforyou:

    Sylvia: I LOVE the picture! It looks wonderful above the mantle. :love:

    DeeDee: I’m not a big pumpkin fan, either. :noway: I have made some pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bread that I like, and DH LOVES pumpkin pie, so we have some of that every fall. :flowerforyou:

    Gail: I’m so sorry you acquired malware and a virus from this site. I hope you let them know about it. :mad: :flowerforyou:

    Leslie: I’m pleased for your health improvements. I am amazed that you can gain pounds and lose inches simultaneously. That represents a lot of hard work. :flowerforyou:

    Michele: We can get good results with solar lighting in the summer, but there isn’t enough sunshine to power them in the fall and winter. We wanted to light our steps and path to the front door, but it wasn’t effective at all. :noway: :flowerforyou: My experience with the star link is that it is very slow, and I sometimes have to click it more than once. :mad:

    Gail: So sorry for the news about your diabetic nephew. I hope they don’t have to take more of his foot. :sad:

    Carol: Prayers for your daughter and for you. Do migraines have those kinds of symptoms? :flowerforyou:

    Heather: I’ve never eaten a scone that wasn’t triangular. I suspect the bakeries do them that way for tradition’s sake. I also haven’t eaten a scone in a long time. They are all made with butter. :sad: :wink: I’m glad your energy has returned. :flowerforyou:



    Yesterday we decorated for Halloween. We have several artificial jack o’lanterns that light up with a turn of the switch. The outdoor one is on a timer that lights it from sundown to sunrise. Today we are planning to go a sporting goods store in Longview that has senior discount days every Monday. I found some great wool “monkey socks” there a couple of years ago and want to buy a pair for DD. I hope they have them again.

    I haven’t forgotten the request for a picture of me in my fuchsia riding helmet, but DH hasn’t been ready for photography yet. Maybe today I’ll remember to ask while he has the energy for it.

    Good morning everyone! Or at least it's morning for another five minutes anyway. I've been sitting at my wheel in front of the window, throwing mugs while watching the rain and listening to Performance Today on the radio. It doesn't get any closer to bliss than that. Tonight we are going to a trumpet recital. Trumpet is not my favorite thing, but hubby likes it because he used to play trumpet in school. This guy is supposed to be a "trumpet virtuoso", so I'll try to keep an open mind.

    Because of the rain, I drove the little ones to school this morning and we did not even stop to pet the cats. It was pouring! I didn't think the cats were going to be running out to greet us. DGD wasn't too upset, so I think even she realized it wasn't a great idea. But of course, she did ask.

    My son is suffering with a bad cold or flu. His wife threatened to take him to the ER yesterday, but apparently he thought he was feeling better. With his respiratory problems, a bad cold can be fatal. He gets pneumonia a lot, too. So he has to be careful.

    That reminds me, hubby still has not gotten his flu shot. Let the nagging begin...

    Michele, sorry the link didn't work and it wasn't what you were looking for. I agree that solar lights are pretty dim. I didn't know if your hubby was up for switching them to electric lights or not. I hope you find something that will work.


    Here is today's joke of the day:

    :grinning:

    Wife: “There’s trouble with the car. It has water in the carburetor.”

    Husband: “Water in the carburetor? That’s ridiculous.”

    Wife: “I tell you the car has water in the carburetor.”

    Husband: “You don’t even know what a carburetor is. Where’s the car?”

    Wife: “In the swimming pool.”

    :flushed:

    Have a great day!

    Sylvia

    Hello, m'ladies. Haven't logged in for the past few days. I spent the weekend in hedonistic indulgence, eating whatever I wanted, no exercise. I think I may suffer from an advanced case of entitlement.

    Our motorcycle trip around the Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway was lovely. At the highest elevations (9,350 ft.) the aspens had already peaked and were fluttering down leaves in our path. But at lower elevations the colors were rapturous: crimson, fuscia, pinkish-gold, orange, lime green, maroon, bright yellow, and everything in between.

    We (my husband & I) usually center our rides around pretty scenery and a stop at a roadside diner or bar & grill type of place. But this time we went to a HuHot Mongolian Grill because we hadn't been to a HuHot in years. I ate plenty, with emphasis on the veggies, but didn't eat so much that I was stuffed. I took too many yakisoba noodles, but then realized my mistake and didn't finish them (I'm a recovering member of the clean-your-plate club).

    On Sunday I watched the Green Bay Packers-Miami Dolphins game. Since they didn't show it on TV in our area, I had to watch it at a sports bar. Well, football=beer, and in Utah you can't order alcohol without ordering food too :grumble I went with the bruscetta appetizer. The game was soo exciting, and the Packers WON, hurray! (Sorry, Miami).

    After that, we Skyped our son, who's away at college, then went up north to Salt lake City to see the movie called Tracks, with Mia Wasikowska, 3 camels, and her dog walking 2000 miles across the Australian desert. I had already read the book, which, of course is always better and more detailed, but the movie was wonderful as well. And hubby liked it, too.

    After the movie we went to an Italian restaurant we'd been jonesing for. Well, Italian=red wine (see what I mean about hedonistic indulgence?). I ordered minestrone soup as a starter instead of a salad (probably should have gone with the salad), and then pappardelle with bolognese sauce-yum!

    So here I am, Monday morning, fatter and down on myself again. It's like I'm in a tailspin. I was reading someone else's food diary recently, and she's always under her calorie allottment. But here's the thing: the foods she eats are all heavily processed and not terribly healthy. Things like Jimmy Dean pork sausage patties, or those peanut butter cracker things, and cookies.

    Maybe I should try it her way because, God knows, I hate to cook. And, while I haven't been with MFP very long, I have never once come in under, or at my, calorie allottment (even when I'm not enjoying hedonistic indulgence).

    And also, God knows, I hate to exercise. But I also know that I can't just move more OR eat less; I have to do both. That's the only thing that's worked for me in the past. I just can't seem to get my motivation engine up and running. What do you guys think?

    I was thinking about getting a FitBit. Do any of you use one? How do you like it?

    Sorry this post is so long.

    Good afternoon! It was a very long night (got home at 4:30 a.m.) with no clear answers, but with at least temporary relief from the pain. Thanks to everyone for their support and concern. I can't focus too well today, so I don't know who asked this, but my daughter does have migraines, but she says this is very different. She's also frustrated because everyone keeps assuming it's a migraine. I don't know if it is a migraine or not; I just want it fixed!

    I skipped job #1 this morning due to pure fatigue. I am at job #2 and getting ready to delve into the day's work. I'm not sure if I will last all afternoon or not.

    Cat - I have a Fitbit Flex and love it!

    Good morning ladies.

    Cat - I have a Fit Bit and I love it.
    -
    To all who are interested my soup recipe was my take on Curtis Stone's recipe from when he did the show "Take Home Chef" years ago.

    I was a lazy bum most of the weekend. DH seriously bruised his shoulder so he is home again today and that kind of upsets my routine. I am hoping to go thru my closet today and purge. My goal during this Leave of Absence is to get things organized around my house to help me better cope.

    I have to admit I am feeling better. I am hoping to start more walking today and get back to that more regularly. The good news is that my lack of appetite has shown as a 2 pound loss on the scale. :bigsmile:

    I hope you all have a great day.

    Has anyone else noticed? We are over 500 posts and still going strong. Maybe so many people won't lose us now and not be able to find their way back.

    Finally got moving this am--items to thrift, papers to animal rescue, got gas, groceries.

    Halloween decorations up here, too. Lighted three tier pumpkin in front window and door done in a broomstick witch and spiders. Some of my neightbors go all out---strings and strings of lights, things dangling from trees, all windows done, lawns covered.

    Going to make ham and cabbage for dinner tonight. DD and I will eat this but DH won't, so he'll be on his own

    The tree removal people are not great at returning calls for estimates, only one so far.

    Got to say I love, love, love this thread......picture me jumping on a couch like what's his name. Every now and then I read a phrase here that totally rings all kind of childhood bells.......and makes me smile insanely. Someone said they were going to "just piece" for a meal the other week.......one of my mom's phrases which she said almost every day...had not heard in years and years. Heather used "dolled up" today.....that's another one, I use it, but haven't heard it from anyone else for ages! Anyway, thanks to Heather and you all for the happy memories.

    Sylvia.......Hope your son is feeling better. The picture does look great.

    Carol........Did the ER give her any kind of follow up with any specialists?

    Good Tuesday morning.
    Woke early and did my Wii Gold's boxing. Jillian's kettle-bells later and a 40 minute walk.
    Taking the Duramuine but weight is NOT moving. The creamy mustard chicken was good last night, I did it in slow cooker.Have reduced my cals on Livinglite to 1750 as that is mid range of what dietitian suggested.
    Shopping today. Will fill in foods when I know what i am eating

    Hi ladies, well we are back from our Thanksgiving weekend with our kids and had a great time, now will have to drink water like crazy to get rid of the salt if you under 40 guess you never think of salt use and my daughter has never had a weight problem.
    haven't got caught up yet but well wishes to all
    I am off to unpack and start drinking water that is

    Here I am in my fuchsia riding helmet. Hopefully, I'll never be mistaken for a deer. It looks to me like the picture will be sideways, if not upside down. What is with that, anyway?
