    morning my friends~
    im not trying Zumba this morning.. i do have an appt with the personal trainer at 11so will go over earlier and do the treadmill..
    I am just feeling wiped out emotionally ..Tom says he just doesnt know whats going on, could me midlife crisis, said he is committed to me but cant really tell me he loves me..
    so here I sit in Limbo... I cant afford to go out on my own ,and I will not be the one leaving.. but living like this is tearing me apart.. while he decides what he wants to do..
    I will take it a day at a time.. Chester to the groomers early ,then to see DFIL and then over to the gym

    DS#2 wrote this to me in an email.

    "On the other thing, think I can guess what is coming."

    He also said he was really stressed with work, "under the cosh", as he put it, and wanted to put it off until October. He seemed to think I was going to need lots of support, which he wanted to give. I have replied that that's not what I need and telling him is more of a courtesy thing than anything else as I have more or less dealt with it. Told him I was happy to wait. :)
    Of course, no one wants to hear bad news about a grandfather you loved. :ohwell:
    I hope he will ride out this stress at work. He runs a brewery and it is a very competitive industry.

    My other dilemma coming up is concerned with my friend who is coming to stay next week. I find myself worrying about it in advance. She has cancer which has spread to the top of her spine. I know I will have to play it by ear, but want to remain open if she wants to discuss her situation. Her older son is getting married in Sept and that is taking her mind off things. I must remind myself to tread very carefully and LISTEN. I am full of opinions and "bees in my bonnet" , so that's a bit hard for me. :ohwell:

    Margaret - glad the meetup went well. :D

    Laura - welcome! You have a good attitude so I'm sure you will do well. :flowerforyou:

    Lisa - congratulations on the progress! Take care of you! :flowerforyou:

    Love to all. A quiet day today instead of dashing up to London to see the grandchildren. :cry: But it won't be long. :bigsmile:

    Will set out the format for my memoir and use my brand new memory stick. (I HATE my stupid laptop )

    With regard to complaining - today we got a free bottle of pastis in the post, worth $30 , because DH had a go at the company about their awful delivery. Go DH ! ! ! ! :drinker:

    Love Heather UK, whose weight is back on target. :bigsmile:

    I don't have time to read back all the posts, but I am thinking about all those having struggles.

    Laura in Chicago, welcome-I'm in Minnesota now, but I lived in that area my whole life and am back there often. Going back this weekend, in fact.

    I have been in MN for a month now and am down 3 lbs, the lowest I've been in a year. Finally trending in the right direction. Having my own business and making my own schedule has been a good thing for me! Much less stress!

    Yep! I went out for coffee with Gayle (MN) and MN Margaret yesterday. Can I just say "lovely" !! We are planning to do it once a month. You ladies forever hold the place of being my first two Minnesota friends. :)<3

    Up early and getting some writing and social media jobs finished.

    Have a losing day!

    Hi Barbie, my name is Laura and I am in Chicago, Illinois the home of Chicago Blackhawks & Chicago Bears,...woo hoo
    Anyway, I'm fairly new to Fitness pal and trying to learn my way around it but so far, I like it a lot.

    My August goals are as follows:
    - log everyday! I'm going to Jamicia in a couple of days (for a week) but I'm so committed to logging, I'm going to journal while on vacation.
    - Drink plenty of water, definitely before meals and after
    - Be very mindful of the portion sizes of food
    - Increase my steps to 12,000 (next week) per day; I've been at 10,000 since I've joined
    :)Laura, Welcome to our friendly community....lucky you, going to Jamaica....what helped me on vacation was to find ways to enjoy myself that were not all about food....I carry a pedometer and seek every opportunity to add more steps...sometimes at bedtime I walk up and down in my house to get the steps I want for the day....my husband is a big Blackhawks fan...I hope you will check in with us every day.

    <3 Barbie

    I guess I was lucky with my Orthopedist when I had sciatic nerve problems. He put a shot into my lower left-hand side of my spine - right where the nerve endings start branching out right above the tailbone area. First time in years I had 'felt' my feet. I'd do it again! Even though it was painful and burned really bad.

    @DamitJanit - thankfully I have my desktop to work with. I'd be lost if my laptop was my only computer. I have this site on my smart phone, too; but, don't like using it unless I just have to.

    Thanks PIP for the instructions to change my weight. I'll have it written down for the next weigh-in. LOL! It's bad to be getting old(er).

    Good morning, ladies!
    Welcome to the new ones.

    Those struggling, even if you haven't mentioned it here, thinking good thoughts for you.

    The idea of salt/pepper in the ice cream is a great one, hadn't thought of that!! Last night it didn't call my name at all. I was just going to pitch it in the dumpster this morning, but forgot about it.

    So I've now taken the bus to work four days in a row. Gotten in 90 minutes of walking, wooot!!

    I plan to drink loads of water today, eat healthfully, and treat myself gently.

    Have a terrific Thursday!

    Laura from Chicago, I spent 11years there, from the age of 9 to 20. I even went to a Bear's game- most miserable day in Wrigley Field I ever had! I worked as a waitress at Marshall Field's in the Water Tower Place to help pay my college costs. I miss the diversity of Chicago. I live in small town Iowa for the low cost and safety, but it is so bland. All white people who have lived here all their lives and don't have a clue about life outside of this small town. But it is so safe people often leave their doors unlocked even when out of town and leave their keys in their cars. I cannot do that- too many years in the big cities. Welcome!

    @SandiRemedios - Just took one of my DH's legal pads. Will need to replace it and buy a few notebooks to journal in. Usually I go to WORD and type and type and type until I have worked out my frustrations. Sometimes I save them, sometimes I don't - like 'sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't'.

    [@exermom mom[/b] - not complaining about weight gain of 1lb - sometimes you just have to know that you really don't have control over what you eat. You just have to remember about portion control. I also ask for a 'doggie bag' - I have no shame - but, I have paid for the food, so it is mine to take home. I'm not sure that my DYS agrees with it or not; but, I do try to order the least amount of food that I can when we are out there.

    @drkatiebut - The first house DH and I bought was a mess - food in the kitchen - crap on the porch, some furniture left. Rotten potatoes in the cabinets. YUCK! It took days of cleaning and spraying for the smell to finally go away. Took us 2 weeks until we could move into it from our apartment on the beach side of the St. John's in Jacksonville - but it put us closer to my 'in-laws' and my MnL and I enjoyed shopping at the antique stores on that side of town (off Cassette Ave.). I think we only paid $9000 down on it and the payments were very reasonable; the house only cost $22,000 and we were in an older neighborhood with older neighbors so it was quiet.

    @janetr7476 - It is stormy this AM and we'll probably have storms of and on all day here. Last night the lights went off because of a storm. And when they do it is 'pitch black' out in the country. When they go out like that DH and I 'joke' with one another about doing things that require light. Like - "Well I guess I will just read now" or "will you make me some coffee?" or "call the kids (next door) and ask them if their lights are off." We have no phone service when this happens. So we have to use our cell phones to communicate with anyone.

    @kayak-kutie
    - Yuuuueeee! Is that a crock or an alley? Never seen anything like it before. That would certainly put a damper on swimming for sure. We just worry about sharks when we go to the beach. While we were in St. Augustine - 2 boys (ages 14) disappeared out in the ocean fishing. Their moms were on TV and said that when they lived around water they knew nothing else and were very resourceful. They had a Yeti cooler with them and some form of cover to the engine and they were hoping this would be their saving grace. It might have been 'different' if they had stayed in the bay or intercostal waterway. They called off the search after a week; but, the family was going to continue to look. Sad that they probably won't be found - I cannot imagine that. One of them lived next door to the former football player Joe Namath and he had donated a big sum of money to the rescue efforts for these boys. Yeti cooler company put up $25,000 for each boy. If they are found and the Yeti cooler kept them floating - that would be good for Yeti. Sad however! No matter what you say.

    Hi everyone. I just joined MFP today and I'm so glad to have found this group! My name is Jo and I'm 58 years young. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 grown children and 2 precious grandchildren. I live in upstate New York near Saratoga Springs and I'm a "lunchlady" at the local middle school. I'm off for the summer for about another month, so it's a great time to set some goals and get some things done that I don't get to do during the year.
    I've been using Leslie Sansone's Walk At Home DVD's for about a year and the main reason I like them is that no matter what the weather is outside, I have NO excuse to not exercise! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and being part of the group.
    My goals for August are:

    Log in and track food/exercise every day on MFP
    Walk at least 45 minutes/day
    Eat 1200 calories/day
    Drink at least eight 8oz. glasses of water/day
    Lose at least 1 lb./week
    Get the rest of the house organized before going back to work. (I've got a good head start on it!)
    Find more plant-based diet recipes that I can use.

    That's about all I can think of for now, but it's a start. :)

    Joyce: You've had a full "plate" of issues to deal with lately. You're doing a good job getting yourself back on track. The pounds came off before, and they'll come right back off if you stick to your calorie limits. :flowerforyou:

    Janet: I've been taking 3 Citracal with D3 tablets every day since I was in my early forties. I've bumped up the D3 to a higher dose and will have to wait until next month to discuss the matter with my doctor. I am so sorry to hear about the struggles of your DBIL. :broken_heart: Sometimes things are just not fair. I love this quotation, "Remember through all of this that to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord". :heart:

    Alison: Your DH is different from Dear Husbands. He is a Darned cuss much of the time. :devil: I know you love him or you'd have left him long ago and hope things work out so you are happy. :flowerforyou:

    Sylvia: Inappropriate touching! Woohoo! THAT is a NSV worth remembering. :bigsmile:

    Lisa: Congrats on a good job and the accolades you well deserve. :flowerforyou:

    Heather: I have every confidence that you will do well when your friend with cancer comes to visit. You're right about the importance of listening. I don't always pay close enough attention. There are many microbreweries in Oregon and you are right that your son has challenging job. There is also a lot of success for those who get it right. :flowerforyou:

    Toni: Why didn't I have that silverware when I was eating too much? Love it! :bigsmile:


    I'm going to Zumba with my neighbor this morning after missing for a couple of weeks. She dances, and I take a spin class because my knees won't take the pounding in Zumba. Sometimes we go for breakfast after. I don't know whether that will be the case today.

    “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison

    Katla - So much for my bright ideas regarding the calcium lol Thank you so much for the kind words regarding my BiL. I have to think that he is tired of the pain and struggle. The hardest part is for my sister and the kids/grands. We are never ready to let them go.

    Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

    Good Morning Ladies,

    Michele, sounds like a good day. Please tell me again exactly what Rummikub is? My CRS degree has been working overtime lately.

    DrKatie, why did you say, “I'm packing up the rest of the food tomorrow and delivering it to the landlady.”??? Is that so she can see how much was left? I hope it works out for him to move in Sunday. So great that ya’ll found it.

    Tina, thanks for the warning. LOL And we just thought we had to watch for sharks!!!

    Laura, welcome. Please tell us a bit more about yourself to help us get to know you. Sounds like a great vacation next week, so have fun. It’s not the food that gets me but the rum punch. Lol Come often and post when you like. It is very helpful if you always remember to end your post with your name. So many ladies don't and then it's hard to respond.

    Lisa, sounds like things are moving right along. Keep up the good work but try to work in some rest.

    Allison, I know you are really hurting and I don’t blame you. My only thinking is that Tom told you he needed some time and maybe he needed more time than this. If he is trying to figure out what is going on with him it may take a little more sole searching. I just have to agree with the other warnings you got, in that I would be making sure I had control of not only “my” money but “our” money, in case he decided on a sudden move. I hope and pray that things work out but you need to look out for you. You sure do a lot for the man and he could at least show a little appreciation. Just remember: one day at a time. ((((Hugs))))

    Heather, first of all I just have to say how much I just love you! You are such a sweetheart. I sure wish you lived closer than across the pond. But anyway, on the subject of your DS. Do you think he does know what you want to talk about or could he be thinking of something worse? If he is stressing over it, putting it off so long doesn’t seem so good. If it is in fact that he want to be able to give support, then I guess that’s different. Although it’s not like you won’t need the support until you tell him about it. Just interesting, but then I’ve heard you Brits are a different sort. Stiff upper lip and all. bleh.gif But I do think it’s very wise of you to keep all those “bees in your bonnet” while your friend is there. I know it’s hard (for me too) but you can do it. Way to go, DH on the free pastis. Have a swig for me. Or just a sip.

    Toni, I hope you three ladies know how jealous many of us are!!! So glad ya’ll had a good visit. I’m happy your new venture is working out well and you are still friends with the new boss (Yes, I get that it’s you.). Congrats on the scale moving in the right direction.

    Lenora, I’m the same way with my phone and MFP. I can log a meal if I have to but don’t like doing anything else on MFP with it. I’m not crazy about my little tinker toy laptop but I got it just for when I travel so I can stay in touch. At least it has a full keyboard and I can see the 10” screen if I really concentrate. I always had 17” laptops before I got this desktop. Glad you found the place to change your weight.

    Colleen, make a mental note, to throw that ice cream out in the morning. I know that salt and pepper can be scraped off the top and who says a little salt might not be good on ice cream. LOL Good for you on the walking and eating right.

    Toni, ROFLMAO, that might at least help slow down some heavy duty eating. smiley-laughing001.gif My problem is, I am not above just using my hands. Thanks for sharing, that made my morning.

    Jo, welcome. You will find this a very supportive and informative group of ladies. Come often and join right in. I like Leslie Sansone’s walk videos, too. I need to do them more often.

    Sylvia, I can’t remember how old you and DH are, but it might not be wise to get him too excited if he is near my DH’s age? Plus, you already have a heart condition, ya know. I don’t know why, but I was thinking about you and your sexy display and it occurred to me that my weight loss journey would have been put to excellent use quite a few years back. That joke the other day about the best form of birth control wasn’t totally off base for me. smiley-shocked001.gif I am just so disappointed with myself that I let myself get so overweight and stay there for so long. And all just because I like food.

    welcome.gif to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

    I need to get going on my day. Got to go help DH put up the new outside lights on either side of the garage. Cross your fingers for us.

    I wish you all a happy and healthy day. rose.gif

    Words I live by:
    Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
    and
    Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
    I Love you, smiley-love013.gif

    when it rains it pours, I know this is trivial but geesh.. my dam_ fit bit flex pooped out ,will not sync whatever I do to it, it has been giving me problems on and off for the last 6 months.
    I am thinking of getting a different kind of tracker and I feel lost without it..
    Barbie~ what kind of tracker do you have? I am looking for one that syncs with bluetooth and computer

    Did you talk to customer service @ fitbit? They may help you with this one or even send you a new one.
    Worth a try.
    Later, I see your got it working. That's good

    Katla - Interesting article. The only thing I take is cod liver oil. My bones are OK. I have such a varied diet with lots of green veggies, fish and whole grains, not to mention avocados and yoghurt, that I hope I am doing all the right things. It can be very confusing. But I think we all know what is good for us. :laugh:

    Janet: You could also try a massage therapist for the sciatica. Still not covered under insurance, but it might be less costly than chiropractic. My husband is a massage therapist, and he's often able to give people with sciatica some relief. You have to find one with an interest in clinical work though, not just relaxation.

    Sylvia: {wolf whistle}

    Tina: That's it, never going in the Gulf again...

    Laura: Oh, lucky you! We went to Jamaica years ago and it was SO beautiful. Hope you have a fabulous vacation! I used to commute to Chicago quite a bit for work, and I really enjoyed the city.

    granmallie: So sorry you are going through that. Being left hanging while somebody else figures out their stuff must be frustrating and scary! Do look out for yourself - people we think we know well can do surprising stuff when they feel trapped or pressured.

    lhannon06270: Smart decision about the work attire. It's amazing how a little change like that can make such a big difference in employee morale. If I went to a place called Pecos RoadHouse, I wouldn't think twice about the waitstaff being in jeans!

    Toni: LOL! I'm not sure those would help... if I were craving hard enough I'd probably just eat with my hands!



    I've decided part of the reason for my lack of motivation lately is the weather. I'm not even trying to do much outdoors, but even when I'm inside I'm reluctant to get all sweaty. I hate to be hot, and this time of year it feels like I'm sweaty and stinky all the time. So ready for fall! Of course, where I live I may have to wait until November!

    My dad came for a visit last weekend and we ended up spending Saturday night in the emergency room instead of at the ball game. He's been having anxiety attacks that seem to be triggered by hot weather or the prospect of it. Wish he'd see a shrink, but that's very very touchy territory so we have to be careful how we suggest it. He's contemplating selling his house and moving to a senior community, so I anticipate even more anxiety until we get past the move.

    My husband is taking this weekend off, and tomorrow we're headed for the river with four close friends. We plan to sit on the porch and do quite a lot of nothing, but we'll also get in some walking and kayaking. We both need the mental break.

    August goals:
    1. Track on MFP every day.
    2. Cardio at least four times a week.
    3. Start and finish a sewing project.
    4. Clear up the back patio so it's ready for guests
    5. Clear out the storage unit (a repeat from last month, alas!)

    I have returned from a wonderful trip out to Seattle. Feeling refreshed and relaxed. Sadly, I know that feeling will not last so I am enjoying it while I can. Fortunately my manager is out of the office today and I only had 31 emails waiting for me so I might manage a whole day back at work before my shoulders start inching up around my ears.

    July goals:
    Continue to honestly log food every day – Fail Just too many days I did not check in let alone log my food. I do not need to wait for a new month or even new day to start over again. Fresh start beginning NOW.
    Continue to meet PT one day a week for strength training – Pass
    Start one hour a week of aerobic exercise - Fail
    Stop Iced tea overload. 24 oz. iced tea daily plus 40 oz. water – Pass

    Dusting myself off. Taking a deep breath. Starting anew.

    August goals:
    Continue to honestly log food every day
    Continue to meet PT one day a week for strength training
    Get at least one hour a week of aerobic exercise
    Stop Iced Tea overload. 16 oz. iced tea daily plus 48 oz. water – 16 oz. is the limit of caffeinated drinks my doctor has set for me. Turns out it doesn’t count as water either so once I have the caffeine under control I’ll still have to up my water consumption. Sigh. One step at a time.

    I missed reading about how everyone is doing. Too many pages to get caught up on so I’ll just pick up from here.

    afternoon dear friends~
    well today has gone ok so far... went to feed breakfast to my DFIL , and he had me cracking up today.. he comes out with the most inappropriate things... God Love him..
    also checked out alot of websites on mes midlife crisis and what I gleaned from all of it is just back off on the relationship thing, and dont try and fix things..
    so as Doris Day would say Que Sera Sera what will be ,will be.. and I will live by that motto and keep on trucking..
    have to realize I dont have control over his feelings and I can't fix it, so let him go through what he needs to and hopefully we come out together on the other end. but if not God has a plan for me. ;)
    Chester is looking wonderful after his grooming and a gorgeous day outside...

    Pictures of utensils was a good one. Old lady being dehydrated . . . UGH . . . where is my water bottle? Cute Joe Cool 'just chillaxin'. Next time we have a dog, I am going to get him started with a pair of sunglasses and a bandana around his neck. Anybody ever heard of a Mountain Feise/Mountain Cur Terrier? We're looking for one that won't cost as 'arm and a leg'

    @grandmallie - I don't think we can 'fix' things when it comes to others . . . we just have control to 'fix' ourselves. God has a plan for both of you . . . might take longer for one of you to deal with it; but, we are all God's children and he takes us and molds us and sometimes it takes a little longer for a lot of us. One day, you might be able to look back and 'think' . . . "Oh Lord, thank you for letting me (teaching me) to wait; things are so much better for doing so."

    Katla backing up your argument. A friend of mine was showing early signs of osteoporosis and she upped her D3 and calcium. It reversed it for her.

    Alison: I agree with Yvonne and DJ and making sure your interests are protected. Just learned that a cousin of mine who I thought was happily married. I had met her husband and liked him. Turns out he was seeing someone else and manipulated the situation so he got the house. It was a second marriage for each of them. He definitely lost a treasure with her. I know you even hate to think this way. Protecting yourself is important too.

    I don't have time to read back all the posts, but I am thinking about all those having struggles.

    Laura in Chicago, welcome-I'm in Minnesota now, but I lived in that area my whole life and am back there often. Going back this weekend, in fact.

    I have been in MN for a month now and am down 3 lbs, the lowest I've been in a year. Finally trending in the right direction. Having my own business and making my own schedule has been a good thing for me! Much less stress!

    Yep! I went out for coffee with Gayle (MN) and MN Margaret yesterday. Can I just say "lovely" !! We are planning to do it once a month. You ladies forever hold the place of being my first two Minnesota friends. :)<3

    Up early and getting some writing and social media jobs finished.

    Have a losing day!

    Toni in MN

    I'm here for you !! Gayle Minneapolis
