WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2016

PIP
You Did It!!

Katla Not to be indelicate, but do you donate your dishrags to an organization that sends them to third world countries for use as sanitary napkins? I know someone who is part of a group that does that. It seems like such a humane womanly good deed sort of thing to do.

I have been wanting to try yoga. Some people like hot yoga but I just don't know.

Mary I have been watching StrongLifts videos. I know what a goblet squat is now.

Karen in Virginia

Well hello there from30'000 ft
We are in flight to Nashville from Detroit..poor Homer needed another 7 teeth pulled.that makes 14 in the past 4 yrs poor baby,Tom has tomorrow off from work so he will be babying the poor boy..will check in later

Becca- I did the limbo at cosmic bingo night. I didn't realize at the time but I was doing it wrong LOL. So now I feel like I should practice to redeem myself. I thought that if you just made it under the bar that was good. I didn't realize that you had to bend backwards. Now I am practicing to bend backwards without falling on my rear. I can actually get down pretty far but haven't figured out how to move forward without falling.

Karen VA- yay on the goblet squat! Those are excellent for helping to become more limber. If you watched the strong first videos they have you stretch your legs out while you are down in the squat position.

Allie- I hope you have fun on your trip!



Mary from Minnesota

Pip

I am not at all down on myself... but, I am seriously up on you. You are a marvel of physical fitness and I can only aspire to someday be able to get anywhere close to you in that regard.

And Ladies - come on... I can't be the only one....

Do none of you make use of your Husband as one of the best non-food stress relievers, ever? Mine still knows how to ring the bell... Hope that's not TMI... lol

Re in TX

LOL! Re, that seriously made me snort my water out of my nose! I generally don't use my dh as a stress reliever; he usually is the cause of the stress.

Hi all...I just cannot keep up with all of your messages...whew! I have a question though...does anyone in the group who may be following a Low Carb High Fat way of eating utilize "fat bombs"? If so, please message me...I may never find your response unless I camp out on the computer. LOL! Thanks!

I hope everyone is having a terrific day...or, at least better than yesterday!

Becca – To handle stress; I type in my journal or paint and/or draw. Pet “Cracker”, Get in the pool, go for a walk, take a nap, read a book, or watch a favorite program on TV, having good friends who do not mind my venting to them or having them do the same to me. That’s what friends are for. Typing is very soothing for me. DH asks if I am writing a ‘book’ … someday! Having “Cracker” playing with her toys and then coming to me or DH and ‘trying so hard to talk like we do’; he said ‘if’ she did, she’d be like any little girl and chatter until you want to ‘put them outside’. She loves going out; I’m sure she runs when I don’t ‘see’ her on ‘all 4’s’; but, after 4 injuries to her left paw, vet says it will be very tender until the nail grows back. She’ll run on all 4’s until she sees you looking at her or speak to her. I still ‘think she is milking us’ for all it is worth. She is a ‘great’ companion for me, since I am retired on a disability … and especially so now that I am on another ‘driving restriction’. Hopefully, we’ll get the Honda back today; had to get DDnL#1 to follow DOGD and me to the ‘body shop’. Then had to pay $85 for them to change out the ‘locking lug nuts’ because between the wreck’ and coming back to us … the ‘kit’ disappeared. If you don’t have it … you’ll ‘S******’ if you have a ‘flat tire’. I chose to have them replaced and a ‘new’ kit now rather than wait 3 weeks to have them order a kit that fits my particular lug nuts. Outside my comfort area? I'll have to think about that one.

Joyce – I’ve been married to my ‘rock’ for 44 years this coming August. At times, I want to kill him when he comes home and vents on me because DOS vents on him.

Re in TX – I get weighed every 2 weeks; and, I never step on another scale; frustrates me too much.

Lisa – So happy your DH got a job … getting ‘hired’ on the spot had to be an ‘emotional booster’. I hope that DDnL#1’s interview next week goes well. She was the only person who had actually taken her resume up there before applying for the job … had to list it for a couple of weeks online; but, they said they’d put her resume on top of the list when the application comes in. She is not taking the job from yesterday’s interview … does not pay very well. She’s been a lot more pleasant to be around since she left that job; just ‘stressing’ over not having that 2nd income they depended on. She said that her former boss and his son, have NO clue about what all she did do for them; but, they’ll find out soon enough.
DYS has a job that he ‘loves’. Married for a year; and, his bosses all love her. I think they are really ‘happy’ that he married basically a ‘local girl’. They’re about 25 miles from his place on the lake (next to all their places, none live there fulltime). DYS and his wife stay mostly at the house she lived in when they married; but, before the news of needing to try I.V.F; they were looking for place that would be ½ way between where he works and where she works. He goes to the ‘lake’ house and does his job out there – Wildlife Biologist and is the overseer of a ‘hunting preserve’; then sometimes they stay out there. He has loved his job. They run it like a real ‘business’. His DFnL comes out to help him when he needs something repaired; sometimes it just takes 2 people to do the job. He is a former carpenter and welder, so he is a lot of help.


KJLaMore – When one door closes, another one opens up – God watching over you. I think sometimes we get so upset about that ‘closed’ door that we forget to look behind others or out the windows. For me, when I am trying to make a decision … if I feel ‘conflicted’ … it is usually ‘not for me’; but, if I feel ‘peaceful’ … it is normally the right one.

Freida – DH – right on the ‘husband’ part; “D” normally stands for ‘dear’; but, it can also mean ‘damn’.

karen in VA tell me more about donating dishrags to go to women in Third World countries

I want to know more about this as well. I would love to do this.

Bummer today. When I had my mammogram, the technician strongly encouraged me to have a sebaceous cyst on the underside of my right breast removed by a dermatologist. I had my regular, yearly full body check today, so I asked her about it. My surgery is scheduled for July 14. All of this is really just routine, nothing to worry about. The bummer part - NO WEIGHT LIFTING for two weeks because it might break open my stitches. The nurse said I can still walk, do the elliptical, and do lower body. I'm going to bring it up again with the Doctor. Some things I can see not doing, but I think I can do a few movements with light weights.
