WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2016

Penny - I am not crawling or slithering into any caves, even to hear AG. :noway: What a wonderful memory! :flowerforyou:

No alcohol day today. Once I've got over the 6pm hump I actually like it. DH pointed out that we were having an ABSTEMIOUS day. He told me (he loves doing crosswords and the like) that it is one of the rare words that has all the vowels in the right order. (Facetious is another one) So all of you who are being ABSTEMIOUS over something, like sugar, can take heart that it's a very special word. :bigsmile:

DJ - I love your description of your communication with your husband. :laugh:

Stronglifts Workout

Squat-1X5X 95/105/115, 5X5X 125
Sumo squats-5X5X 110
BP-1X5X 65/70/75, 5X5X 80

This may be my last day of full body workouts for the month of March. The reason is I start my 10,000 Kettlebell swing challenge tomorrow which will be done every day including Stronglifts Workout day. I am going to be very careful about not overtraining. Set yourself up for success not failure!

Gee, I can remember the 1st time I was pregnant; I craved hamburger meat; cooked any way; would eat it and immediately throw it up. Belly kept getting larger and I kept losing weight (until they found out what was going on). I don't have any 'cravings' at the moment - but, feel hungry a lot; so then I go over my 'caloric intake numbers'. One reason I put on 5lb this last 2 weeks was because I 'grazed' most of the time. At Neurologist office appears that I've lost 1.5 lbs since. Still trying to stay at or under my caloric intake numbers.

Alison, do what you want to do for yourself!!! You always do everything for other people. This time you need to do for yourself. Don't let them guilt you into it.

And why do you need Tom's permission to do anything? Just go to the wedding.

Hello Everyone! From what I have been reading - it looks like this message board will change for March? Will it be easy for a newcomer to find this group again? Many thanks!

Cathy (from Canada)

Cathy - come back later on tonight or first thing in the morning and you'll find Barbiecat's link to March, 2016. Make sure you hit the outline of a star so it will turn yellow; after that you'll hit the gray button between the bell and gear and a drop down screen will show up. It'll give you a chance to read the few February posts that have been made and then will take you into March; that's when you need to click on the outline of the star and it'll be there for you. Hope this helps.

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

Good Evening Ladies,

Heather, I love hearing about all your new language discoveries. Some would be too confusing to me. I’m afraid I’d want to say one thing and end up saying who knows what. I mean that could get a person in trouble.

Mary, I hope Shep is feeling better!

Marcelyn, did we forget to mention that you don’t ever want to skip a day???? As far as taking notes, what many of us do is have a word document or notepad open and take notes as we read. Then when we are ready to post we just copy and paste. I’m curious what your 40 phone call cost. If you remember, let us know when you get the bill.

CarolGA, your soup sounds yummy. I love homemade soup but will not be sad when it is no longer soup weather.

Gina, Welcome. We are glad you found us. This is a great place for support and information so come often and join right in.

Kay, so glad your class leader got the message. Congrats on the NSV!!! Don’t ya love those?

Sylvia, soooo sorry you are getting sick. I agree you should cancel the meeting at your place so you don’t give the whole group whatever you have. Sending healing thoughts and prayers.

Janetr, great job!!! Even though you haven’t lost weight in the past 7 months, do you feel your body is still changing? I’ve only lost about 5 pounds in that time but I can tell a difference. Guess the weight is still shifting around.

Lisa, thanks for checking in. So do you still have an office at the warehouse or just the bedroom? Congrats on the freelance writing. Every little bit helps.

Karen, congrats on walking past those cakes. Glad we could be part of your decision. Hope your DD gets better soon!!

Allie, why should you cancel a trip you want to take just so your DSIL can take one? I don’t exactly see the logic? It’s not like she “needs” to go to Florida for some type of business! Your R n R is as important as hers if not more. You are so nice but be nice to yourself.

DH and I had a nice Sadie Hawkins Day date. I had a 6 oz. filet and two green veggies. It was yummy although the steak was a touch overdone. We don’t go out to eat much anymore so it was fun. Tomorrow is line dancing so I’ll get in some extra exercise. One thing I’ve started doing is all my exercises in sets of 10. Wonder where I got that? Lol I actually used to do them in sets of 12 but now am doing more sets. You ladies just keep giving me ideas and I love it. Good luck to all with their March goals and challenges.

I hope all of you have a healthy and happy day. ]

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,
DJ

Dear Allie, please do not change your plans because somebody else wants to take a vacation ! And I hope you have a great time at the wedding too!
You are entitled to do what you plan to do. Last time I checked your name was not "Doormat", but the beautiful "Allison".

same thing i was asking myself. it's nice to let him know where you will be out of courtesy, but you should have him permission to go, you are not his child, you are his wife. you should go, look purdy and have a blast!
