WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2016

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. The pictures of the twins is adorable. I bet they are fun. I have twin grands (preemies) who are almost 14 now. They are a blessing.
Karla -my DGD is taking riding lessons. I never thought about insurance issues.
Lin -frost already? Our temp is 95 today. Crazy.
My week of eating crazy has turned into almost two. Need to get my head on straight.

Thanks Heather. I think I can picture that now. I think I have seen Prince William 'playing' some cricket. I guess it was maybe a photo op while he was some where.

Barbie, yes I do enjoy seeing Charlie finally at peace with some things.

Speaking of Charlie, last year he was wanting a new denim jacket to replace the heavy quilted one Christina bought him one year. He is very cold when we go out and eat. The temp can be normal and he is freezing. So this is a jacket he wears indoors. So I found this lined denim shirt at Walmart and he loved it, kept him real warm. But when he washed it for the first time, the edge on the bottom rolled up. Well he has gained about 15 pounds since last winter and can't wear it. But I can and it feels nice and warm. I don't get as cold as he does but I also wear a light jacket when we are out to eat. But I don't like that curled up bottom of the jacket. When I wash my jeans I turn them inside out and they never curl. I need some help!!!!

Did a hour of Kelley Coffee Meyer's 30 Minutes to fitness DVD. Actually, there are two workouts plus a bonus ab section. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Crunch Fat Blaster DVD. This is one Vince made from a VHS tape so I'll see how it came out. If not, then I'll do some training games on the Wii

Went to the farmer's market. It's winding down so not very much. Then went to Aldi (I found out they usually open 10 minutes early). Then to ACMoore looking for a lightweight skull, but they didn't have any. Then to Hamricks to return these shoes I had and I bought a bit of candy for the Halloween part since it was on sale 50% off plus I had a coupon for an extra 20% off, then to Bed, Bath and Beyond to return the spiralizer I got that I really didn't want (why I bought it, I don't know) but ordered a pizza stone for Jess for Christmas. She'd mentioned that she would like one when we were at the shower in May.

Came home and made some baked ziti for Vince to have later in the week and for him to have as leftovers. Now have these banana chocolate chip muffins in the oven for him.

Tracey - good for you getting to see Elton John.

Heather - your bread makes me want to just reach into the computer and take a piece off.

Let me tell you, I wore a pair of pants to church tonight, they did fit really well. They fit well in the backside and the legs, but when I went to button them, you can see a "muffin top". This has been going on since I went thru menopause. The scale isn't going up more than a pound or two, so it's not weight related. My body is just changing and I HATE IT. I absolutely hate hate hate the muffin top and pooch belly. As you know, I exercise religiously and am careful about what I eat. OK, I admit that sometimes I do have some treats, especially if I'm baking. But lately I've even had less and less of them. But that "muffin top" seems to be getting bigger.

Brought in some more of the Halloween decorations. I found the shower curtain that I made. That was one of the things I was looking for. Also found the witch costume along with the hat, just can't find the broom. Well, I'm sure the other lady has a broom I can borrow. Just need some sort of coat rack.

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

Good Evening Ladies,

Kay and Joyce, we have two Tanger outlet malls here and I don’t find any of the stores have what we used to call “outlet prices”. Ahhh, the good ole days.

BarbBee, how long was that cat with you before you took it to the shelter? Did you call to see if they could tell you who adopted it because they might be looking for it.

Kim, happy that business is good but sorry it’s wearing you out. Doesn’t it seem like it’s either feast or famine? Just make sure to plan something special for yourself to enjoy some of the money you are making, so it will all be worth it.

Tracey, so glad you enjoyed the concert. Sorry about the traffic but happy to hear you made it home safely.

KateUK, years ago we had a cat and when we would have her boarded she would come home with the loudest, most awful meow that I would have welcomed the “silent treatment” from her. That is funny.

Allie, I can’t believe that any insurance won’t cover at least some of the cost of your kidney doctor. Of course you need to stay under the doctor’s care. Does Tom just get mad without thinking?

Heather, OMG, I can smell that bread!!!!!

KJ, you are so right about how men’s brain works. My DH has gotten to where he asks a million question when we are watching a show on TV. Like I know who a character is when the movie has just started!!? He never used to do that and it’s getting bad. I know he can hear it but don’t think he pays attention. It’s just getting very distracting: “What did she say?”, “Who is that?”, “Where are they?”, “Is that the mother?”, “Did he say he went to Washington?”…when he didn’t mention Washington or going anywhere!!! Ya gotta love em.

Mary, the twins are just precious!!!

Katla, so sorry your DH is upset with you. Does he not want you to go help your DD?? I googled swimsuits with legs also and they are way too fitted for me. I’ll take the short legs and less fitted bodice, than you.

KarenE, when the scale goes up a pound or two after a 4 pound loss, surely you can say to yourself that it was expected. Don’t sweat the gains but celebrate the losses. Congrats!!!

KateUK, we are all vain!!! Just be proud of the missing fat. Have a great holiday.

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 got my lazy butt out and went to the gym this morning. I had a great workout. I know none of it will help this loose skin but I keep hoping. I can feel my arm and leg muscles getting stronger. I’ll just keep plugging along. I am tired now so going to bed a bit early.
Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy 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,
