WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2016

Hi, I was on this site a couple years ago then got off track. Tried WW but didn't like the points system so back on MFP. Have logged in 85 days now and have lost 12lbs. Hope to stay motivated and loose another 20lbs. Would love to be part of your group.

Mary: Will see you in August. Take good care.

Pip: How does the new bike feel? Bet you LOVED your ride in the wind.

Anne: Glad you are eating better. Day at a time...

Michele: So sorry all plans went up in smoke. Hope you are able to get everything stored for the next get together.

Beautiful warm day today, despite there still being snow on the ground. I cooked a roast pork loin, mashed sweet potatoes and little eggplant/egg muffins. I got in a big workout so I could enjoy a glass of bordeaux

Stay well. We can do this.

Hi all! I started my day by keeping nursery at my main church job since my daughter (who usually does it) is sick. She was so "angry" when I sent pictures to show her that I had THREE infants today. The church has mostly an older congregation so not too many babies usually come around. And, get this! I had twin boys named Solomon and Samson and a girl named Charlie. It was fun. I logged 60 minutes of light housekeeping to account for 120 minutes of baby wrangling.

My daughter's doctor used to attend our church and Katherine babysat her kids (I had them in nursery at church) so Katherine is not just a typical patient. Krichna (doctor) called Katherine from Florida this morning to tell her that the labs showed that she has mono. For the THIRD time!! She is sooo sick!

I dropped off my son at our church on my way to work this morning. I had planned on picking him up afterwards to take him home. He finally called at 12:20 to ask where I was. Phil rarely lets the service run late but it was 12:30 before he finished up today! I had been wondering if he would have to preach sitting in a chair with a barf bucket beside him because of the vertigo but they said he did it all as usual. I went in the sanctuary for just a minute after the service--just in time to see him trip coming down the steps from the pulpit. Scared everyone!! Anyway, my ex picked up my son and he has been to Grammy's for Easter lunch and should be on his way home from a hockey game now.

It has been dreary and raining here all day.

I go to see my new retina specialist tomorrow. Not looking forward to all the dialation and probing but will be glad to get it over with.

On Thursday it is time for my six month oncologist visit, complete with mammogram. Those visits really make me anxious. I've had one normal mammogram since 2012 so I live this last week before the appointment being terrified.

I hope everyone has had a good day!

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

Good Evening, Ladies,

Katla, I hate to hear that the dingy may have bit the dust. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Especially since you aren’t sure ya’ll will be able to enjoy the sail boat this year. Glad you will enjoy your riding lesson no matter what they have you do today. That is such a great attitude!!!

Larisa, if you have dating info it’s about time to start sharing!!! Some of us are just nosey ole women, ya know? 

Janetr, you should count yourself lucky that Jack is a “Jack of all trades”. My DH is so good at so many things but he is not “Mr Fit It”. In fact more often than not, I’m the one to fix things around the house. I have put on a new garbage disposal and replaced the insides to a toilet but that is the extent of my pluming abilities. I’m the one that has always had to assemble things from the time we were married. DH traveled the first 15 years we were married so he often wasn’t even at home when something needed doing. Last summer he did some work on our wooden mailbox post and it looks terrible. I’d have done a much better job but then as a Realtor for 14 years, I saw a lot more repair work being done. Bigger jobs we have to pay someone to do. As it turns out, the handyman didn’t come today but called to reschedule to Monday.

Heather, yes, you definitely might want to be able to say that your glass is empty. LOL

KJ, sorry about your Uncle but at least he didn’t have to suffer a long time if this was the first diagnosis.

Margaret, what absolutely beautiful flowers. Gosh ya can’t help but be cheered up when looking at them. Thanks for sharing.

Kimses, glad you are adjusting to new work schedule. Those things do take time. Hope your new walking buddy works out. Keep up the good work.

Mary, you have done soooo well with your exercise. Thanks for the cartoon…I love it. I love to laugh!! And Janetr, you know there was a “pun intended” when you “cracked up”. Lol

Pip, you never cease to amaze me. Cool beans to jump on a moving tread mill at such a speed. I just wish once in a while you would challenge yourself or something.

Allie, so glad you got to go to the Cape and had a good time. Where is your DSIL getting married? I love beach weddings.

Joyce, at you telling Allie she should take the goose home to squawk at Tom.

Melinda, welcome. This is a great place for support and information. Please tell us a bit more about yourself to help us get to know you. Come often and join right in. It helps us respond if you sign each post with your name and location as some of us have memory issues.

CarolNC, it must have been nice to hear from the guy you dated last summer. Why do we always assume the worst when anything happens in our lives? Next time try to think positive cause you are great!!! (((Hugs)))

Kay, I’d love to hear one of your sermons. I’m sure they are good. Your Easter sounds lovely and peaceful.

Katla, how nice that DS and DDIL stopped to have lunch with DD while driving across country. What a compliment that you “aren’t a beginner” any longer. You go girl!

Larisa, thanks for the first installment of “Larisa finds a man”. LOL It would be nice if you turned out to be “The One” for each other but if not it’s always interesting to meet new people. Thanks for sharing.

Becca, so as to not be confused some of us type “d&*b s%#@” of a person. And the D in DS, DH, DD can always be for words other than “dear”. Dumb, darn, etc are just examples. The one that gets me is when people try to identify which son or daughter and for DIL will use DNL which takes me a minute to figure out. I have to admit once I got used to it, it does make typing a little faster at times.

Rori, how cool that your exercise room got a new piece of equipment just when you needed it.

Kim, enjoy your dinner tomorrow with friends.
MicheleNC, I got a bit confused about who was going to your house, when? But home you had a good Easter.

Traci, welcome. I hope we don’t get you sweatin’ from being with us. This is a great group for support and information. Please always sign your posts or we may never remember your name. lol Cool that you got the Fitbit synced and hope it helps. Come often and feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Mary, OMG we will miss you!!! We only want the best for you so please take care and heal quickly. (((((Hugs))))

Penny, sorry you’ve been under the weather but glad you are on the mend.

Allie, nice outfit for Ruth and good picture.

Lucy, welcome. Please tell us a bit about yourself to help us get to know you. Come often and join right in. Congrats on your loss and good luck on the journey.

CJ, pretty gloves. That should make ya want to get out and garden. It’s nice to share your bounty!!

Anne, sorry it was a hard day for you but congrats on making it through.

Pip, nice bikes. I’m with Janetr…I don’t think you ever mentioned anything about riding in the wind. Or were we talking about riding like the wind?? Who knows???

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.

Hi to all I missed or didn’t comment on. I do hope you all had a good weekend and are looking forward to a new week ahead. It rained on and off all day so I never went out of the house. Tired now and heading to bed. Will try again in the morning for the handy man. Sending good thoughts for all of you and wishing you each 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,

The ride on the new bike was noticeably different. It felt good, EXCEPT FOR THAT DAMN WIND!!!!!!

That brunch was my only meal today, I don't even feel hungry now (7:13pm PST). Reservations were at 9:30am

I think thins one has a couple more gears than the other bike which is cool. Now gotta clean up the other bike so I could sell it.

Nite peeps

Pip - I think Rori just said you LOVE riding in the wind.

Janetr okc
