Senior Golden Sneakers..........July, 2011

Welcome Koty, so happy to have you join us. :flowerforyou: You are from my favorite city in the United States, I love Las Vegas. I used to go more often when my granddaughter had her dance Nationals there but since she isn't competing any more it has been a few years since I have been there. There is just something different about Vegas compared to the casinos we have around here, just more exciting in Vegas. You are such a tiny little thing it hard to imagine you wanting to lose more weight. I do understand though since I am also a rocking grandma. :laugh:

I am much older than you at 69, with a second marriage. I have four children he has two and between us six grandchildren. My oldest son lives in Portland Oregon and his 21 year old daughter just joined the Peace Corps where she will be stationed in Togo, Africa for the next two years. My only daughter lives in Chaska, Minnesota with her husband and three children. My third son lives near me, is divorced and has a 16 year daughter who is like my second daughter. My youngest son is single and lives in Phoenix Arizona with his girlfriend. He is an over the road driver so comes home often. My step daughter is married and lives in Modesto, California and her brother lives within a mile from us and has an adopted daughter who is 6. We have an Old English Sheepdog named Daisy and she is the love of our lives. And there you have all the information and more about me. :laugh: Oh yes, I did make my goal but will continue to stay here with my friends to keep honest and keep tracking calories and exercise. They are like family and I could never leave them.

Speaking of family, stop with the compliments do you want my head to blow up??? If I didn't make a new thread someone else would have, we take care of each other. What one does for one, we do for each other, that is what great friends do.

Marie, you are so funny, we do pick on our men don't we?? I think I would be like you and want my hubby to drop me off and pick me up, I hate when they hang on us and watch our every move. :laugh: Too bad you can't be there in person for your granddaughter's wedding but you will be there in spirit.

Irene, thanks for dropping by, prayers and hugs are going your way. (((hugs)))))

Jeri, we are lucky to have you, you have the best attitude and best sense of humor. :bigsmile:

Judy, of course I am only posting pictures that make me look young, you don't think I would post those old looking kind do you?? :laugh: Funny joke, I have heard it but it is still funny. :laugh:

Ba Da Bing, glad you are enjoying your holiday, the breakfast sounds like it was fun and good. Hope you got to enjoy a book and relax as planned.

Becky, ten pounds in one month, whoa that is a lot. Don't set your expectations to high, losing weight takes time. Keep track of calories and exercise along with a lot of water and be patient. Just my little piece of advice and only my opinion. :blushing:

Barbie, would love to see you dancing to your Ipod at the dog park, it would be fun and I would probably join in. You have such a positive outlook on life and you deserve the best of everything. (including a new exercise bike) :laugh: :laugh:

Been running around all day, took Daisy for a long walk and now it is time to hit the couch and watch a movie.

Have a great night.

:laugh: here is the story of the exercise bike

---

yes, it is really dead and has been taken apart to load into the car to go to the dump........some of you remember how sad I was when it broke however, once I started walking the dogs for over an hour in the morning and sometimes again for 20-40 minutes in the afternoon, I realized that right now I don't miss the bike:bigsmile: we will revisit the question of an exercise bike or another piece of equipment when we finally move :bigsmile: so don't be concerned about me without my bike :bigsmile:

LOL....sorry was just joking with Jake. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I prefer walking with Daisy to riding the bike in the nice weather also.
