WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JANUARY 2017

Mary from Minnesota – Thanks for the links; I have emailed Tiffany; one of these websites said that it, basically could not open, error message. The other one went to a page basically stating that it was fun. I know I got a ‘confirmation email’ about it and I thought I was in. ?????

Michele – Either way, cat or dog, sorry you have to end up having to give him/her any kind of seizure meds. I’m sure watching Loki have a seizure is about as difficult as watching a child have one.
My eye is still driving me nuts!!!!!

My plans for this year are:

To use the DVDs that I got from you, a minimum of 3x a week.
1) To find out if I actually got registered in time for the Keto-whatever program that Mary sent me the information, or not and work it if I am.
2) Have a more positive outlook on things that are beyond my control.
3) Walk a minimum of 20 minutes on treadmill, whether I feel like it, or want to.
4) Enjoy this ‘blessed life’ I have been given, and Praise God for giving this to me.
5) Clean out studio so I can get back into it and do some painting.
6) Find something ‘new’ to learn this year and do it.
7) Be more careful in what I say to others.
8) Continue de-cluttering the rest of my house; and
9) Enjoy every day and find the good in people, things, and places.

OK, now to see how many I can actually do.

DH cooked a great breakfast this AM, he always cooks breakfast on the weekends. He was home Friday and cooked then, too … so it messed me up on days … I am not able to keep up with my days when he does … makes me think that the 3rd day he cooks, as if he is home cooking on a Monday.
Going to the “Walk-In Clinic” … hopefully they can give me something to put in my eye; because I ‘claw it out’!

A New Year, so new monthly goals are in order.

• I had gotten a bit sloppy logging last month, so I will get myself back on track.
• I promised myself I would work in at least 4 days a week some form of exercise to get back to where I was in early November.
• I like the mindset 'be lighter', so I will try my best to work this new goal into my life this month.

The neighbor's New Year/White Elephant exchange was it's usual over the top fun. I will take a picture of what 'treasure' I came home with and the story behind it on another post later.

The pink flamingo umbrella was well received. Folks kept avoiding picking the box it was hiding in thinking they would end up with 'that leg lamp.' Finally the hostess bit and picked the box. It was the right gift for the right person.

Charleen in Colorado ( So looking forward to cleaning out the frig of all that 'stuff' and get back to eating healthy)

Happy New Year! Y'all have inspired me this morning...

I am going to have one more day of light eating/no alcohol and then weigh myself to see the holiday damage on Tuesday.

While DSIL and boyfriend were here we arranged to go up to London on Friday this week to meet them. We will go to a famous Soho pub at 4 pm and then on to the Israeli café. I will look to see what exhibitions are on for DH and me to go to before hand. Lovely!

Gayle- I had asked everybody to join the 40 pound loss challenge by the end of May. You can join in with us on this thread. I will post the challenges and we can encourage each other here!

Lenora - that page that I sent you you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom for the different thread. Check that out and see if that works. Otherwise, I know Tiffany can help you.

debbieinva & Anita: Welcome. This group has been active for a long time lead by our fearless leader Barbie. You've come to a great place.


Well, I didn't do as well on my December goals as I usually do. But in the interest of being kind to myself I will not beat myself up, it really was a difficult month on many fronts. Looking forward to January. I need to reflect more on what I want my goals to be.

Happy New Year to all!



Carey - Northern Alberta

Lenora hope eye issue quickly heals. Do you wear contacts?

Allie I think you are smart to do your normal routine until you get your ducks in a row. It must be hard, but know I am praying for you during this time.

Happy New Year Friends!

Posted this yesterday:

KINDNESS and logging are my resolutions for 2017

I was already thinking about kindness when I saw on the news that at Times square they are going to be dropping notes about being kind. It was also a topic for Parade Magazine. Doesn't surprise me after 2016.

The mantra is don't be mean in 17.

Thanks for the reminder on how to change colors. I put it in my word documents.

Margaret

starting off with the usual activity on new years day... you'll never guess....... going to the gym.... u guessed, right?

Thank you Barbie for a great list! I took a screenshot of it to keep.
