WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2016

Jumping for joy! I've lost 12 lbs so far (since February 10th )!!! It just keeps getting better. I want to thank all of you for your support. We are better together.

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

Good Morning Ladies,

Pip, nice looking BIL.

Trailgirl. Welcome. This is a great place for support and information. Please tell us about yourself to help us get to know you. We also ask that you sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific. Come often.

Joyce, maybe when Charlie gives someone a choice of restaurants he should just give them a choice of two? That would be two of his choosing of course. The Kohl’s shopping sounds like fun!

Wendy, so sorry you couldn’t sleep. We all seem to have that problem once in a while and I just hate sleep deprivation.

Sylvia, I wish I could wave a magic wand and get you well. With all you have to do, I know being sick is not on your agenda. (((Hugs))))

Pip, you and Kirby are both amazing. I hope you get tons of donations.

Mary and Janetr, impressive workouts!!! Keep it up. You ladies are the bomb!

Lisa, what wonderful news about not having to relocate for the job!! It sounds like it can’t get any better than that. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Heather, so happy for your son!! That is terrific news and now you can stop worrying, Mum! Beautiful picture.

Katla, glad you made it home safely and had a good trip.

Becca, so glad you and sisters reconnected. Now you keep it going. Great pic with the boys and DIL.

Sylvia, that is terrible that someone would do something like that to a cat. I just can’t believe the cruelty of some people. Glad you got to go to the doc the next day.

Janetr, love the Gardner signs. Lol

Gayle, sending healing thoughts to you and all those suffering from illnesses at this time. I have become such a wimp about getting sick. I just hate it and do all I can to stay healthy. Get well soon.

Mindy, you know you are welcome to rant any time you need to. I’d want a Pity Party too. I know how you feel about resenting what your DD is doing. You are working hard to make things work and she’s working against you. Additions are so sad and so destructive. ((((Hugs)))) Keep putting one foot in front of another. Great on the walk you had.

Rori, thinking of you while you are busy at your conference this week.

Anne, glad you are working to eat right and sending you lots of positive vibes. Hang in there.

MicheleNC, you are going to have to find something for Vince to do when he’s playing chauffeur other than eat. You are right that he will put on weight and then of course it would be your fault.

Barbie, glad you made it home safely.

Katla, I feel the same way about seeing pictures of wounded animals. I hate the ads on TV with the abused animals and often change stations. Glad you had a good trip and enjoyed the visit. At least these days with phone calls being so easy, we can stay in touch with loved ones. I remember when DH and I first moved out of state it was still expensive to make long distance calls and we talked to our parents once a week. (Later) Gosh that sounds like an interesting meeting on pot. I’m sure there are some strong thoughts on all sides.

Heather, sorry to hear that your DH got upset about the train situation. It is ashamed that you always have to be the strong one, but like you said it is a blessing that you can. Thanks to Barbie, I think lots of us are learning to stay in the moment and be grateful for the positive rather than concentrating on the negative. Good for you!!

Allie, sorry Tom had one of his snits! Why is it when men are worried or scared or anything like that, they just get mad? And of course the closest person around gets the brunt of it. I’m sure he’s worried about his job but to have the nerve to say he does everything around there is hilarious. You hang in there, my friend. ((((Hugs))))

Penny, what an interesting tradition. I love the sun collars. Thanks for sharing.

Beth, crossing fingers for that scholarship. That would have to help.

Cheri, it is unreal that any hospital doesn’t take BC insurance. I hope the surgery goes well and she has a quick and easy recovery.

Pip, glad the roof is done. I hope you like the new workplace. It’s always interesting to see who gets stressed over a move and who embraces a change.

Kay, I am so impressed with the workouts you are doing. You are going to get in such great shape. Good for you!!! (later) Great NSVs. See it’s working already. Woo Hoo

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 am finally to the last page but need to get this posted and get moving. I have to get my nails done today as tomorrow we go to the Moose convention. We have a full kitchen in the room so will take food for at least half of the meals. I find it interesting reading all the different views on height. I was 5’6” until spinal fusion and advanced age took me down over 2”. My DD was 5’8” and when a doctor told her that he didn’t think she would get any taller, she cried. I think she was about 13 at the time. She wanted to be at least 5’10” for some reason. It was a beautiful day yesterday. At line dancing the floor has a few slick spots. Yesterday I slipped and caught myself but in the process I hurt my back. I didn’t finish dancing and this morning it is sore still.

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

Does anyone know anything aboug Lenora in Georgia? She hasn't posted for several days. I wonder how she and DH are doing. Lenora, we miss you.

Good morning ladies! I am just waking up. I was up all night with a coughing fit. So I combated it by running a hot bath and soaking for an hour or so. I also loaded up on vitamin C. I feel a lot better now. Time to get up and take care of the puppy and swing that kettle bell!

Heather - no, I am not thinking of doing anything competitive like bodybuilding. I am just trying to get rid of 30 pounds of fat. I have been stuck on a plateau and I am trying to break it. Hopefully this will work. And I'm hoping that 30 days of hard work will pay off.

After being sick most of the night I wasn't sure if I would be able to get this done during one session. I battled through it and was successful! Now to go for a nice long walk.

I hope everyone is doing well on there eating and exercise goals! Everyone on here is doing such a great job.

Just checking in. I've been sick as in bedridden for the past two days. On the up side, I haven't been able to keep down any calories...
