WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2017

Good morning, y'all -
Mia - Welcome back! I feel for everyone dealing with power outages. I'd be lost without connectivity, although I suppose I'd enjoy the enforced vacation.
Becky - Hope you got a good night's sleep!
Karen - Great news about your physical. Congratulations on not needing the statin.
Ginger - I do a weekly meal plan like that too, but mine's not nearly as pretty! Mine just has three meals on it. I don't plan snacks, and I often don't fill out breakfast and lunch since they tend to be the same every day. Instead I keep appropriate options on hand and reach for one of them. For me the really crucial thing is to get dinners planned, because that's when we get lost and go for the fast food.
DJ - You look lovely in your dress, and I like those "glass slippers!" And I just adore your beautiful white hair.
Paula - What a wonderful trip to look forward to! Hope you'll post some whale pictures when you get back!
Mae - Welcome back. I'm happy to "meet" you and glad you're recovering from your injury. We have a friend who's still in long term care a year after a TBI, so I know it's a long road back to "normal."
Chris - That's right, you've got to find a way to ignore those little variations on the scale and just focus on the general trend. The Potential Boyfriend sounds very sweet.
Kelly - How exciting! Looking forward to baby pictures soon!
Lisa - Oh, sixteen weeks sounds like an awfully long time! No doubt it sounds even longer to you and your husband. The tape does look cool, though.
Katla - What an annoying neighbor! How does she figure she's got the right to mess with your plants?!
Sorry to hear the weather is causing problems for so many people. All the same, I can't help looking back wistfully on our "snow years." In the twelve years we lived in the mountains we had the perfect amount of snow. It always snowed before Halloween, and the last snow was usually sometime in April. We lived in the country and our steep gravel road was tricky at times, but the county kept the main road clear because it was a school bus route. For the most part, the only shoveling I had to do was sweeping out the satellite dish when the internet connection went down. I've been desperately missing cross country skiing, and have never found any other sport that I enjoy like that.
Wishing you all a joyous and productive day -

NYKAREN – what a great report on the physical! Isn’t it nice to have all your hard work and changed eating habits confirmed in addition to a change on the scale? You gals inspire me!
GINGER – love your weekly menu! I try to pre-log the food for my day but I can see where this type of planning has definite advantages, especially to work in some days with higher carbs to “confuse” things- thank you Beth! Was this a template you grabbed or your own creation? Your supper with the rotisserie chicken looked great! I need to put one back on the list. We have a local store that advertises a “5 buck cluck” and they are normally good sized….unlike Walmart’s which were large pigeon size for a while, lol.
DJ – that is one gorgeous dress! What a flattering style! I’m sure you made a few of the gals there a bit green with envy. Cute shoes and thanks for the reminder to touch up my toenails – soon will be sandal weather….won’t it?
JOYCE – we have a small generator, I want to say it was around $500 from Home Depot perhaps. Haven’t had the need to use it yet – but if we do lose power we’d plug in the fridge and freezer. We have a woodstove and other means to heat up water and food (camp stoves).
BECCA – your wavy hair looks so thick and healthy. Let us know if the “losing hair” continues to slow down. My hairdresser said that massaging coconut oil into the scalp helped in that regard but I wasn’t that faithful in trying it on a regular basis.
LOIS – don’t beat yourself up – as others have mentioned, we’ve all strayed from the journey from time to time and it’s understandable with your DH’s cancer. Good thing is you are back on track. Hope he’s doing OK! Good luck in blizzard land today!
KAREN – thank you for another photo of Katie and Olivia. I had never heard of Compassion Fatigue so I looked it up. I admire all of you in any “helping” profession that have to deal with other’s needs on a daily basis. I have never been attracted to this job field and I wonder now if it’s that fact that I’m an ENTJ (Myer’s Briggs) or such a control freak I couldn’t accept dealing with things I can’t control. I know in the emergency services field, the dispatchers I worked with had pretty sick senses of humor from time to time and it was encouraged – wasn’t disrespectful, it was a way of coping. Good for you taking care of yourself! I so appreciate the insightful dialogue between Heather and you and others about this. And the “DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD” really resonates!
So glad Olivia’s dialysis is done and plans for home-coming are in the works.
LISA – Corey’s arm looks like something from Ironman! Will he also have to wear a protective brace? Is he left-handed? Hopefully time will pass quickly and he’ll be back to work in no time at all.
RORY – glad you like the muffin recipe. I put some orange zest in mine this morning and it was delish.
KELLY – glad Pi boy is on the way....might be here already!
RITA – golly that RV looks very nice!! That roll up awning will come in handy. 28’ seems like the perfect length – should handle easily in traffic. Thanks for the snow pix – please keep us up to date!
CAROL – That Café sounds yummy. I loved the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” so I think of southern cooking in a place like that – watch out for the BBQ, lol. Enjoy your meal!
HEATHER – glad the fix-it guy is replacing the fan today. Happy Birthday Bea! These babies seem ever-joyful and fun to be around!
KATLA – I’m a big fan of winter squash and sweet potatoes too. If summer weather cooperates, I like to plant little delicata, and baby dumpling. They are smaller, generally one or two servings and naturally very sweet. Last year, even tho the weather was hot, they didn’t seem to grow well. Crossing fingers for a better year.
Welcome new members and welcome back Mae and others. Mae, wow – right there is a good reason to NOT go out when it’s icy if at all possible. Glad you are recovering and back with this group. Stay warm!
Comment on herbal tea – one of our favorites is at Trader Joe’s called “Well Rested”. Has chamomile, lemongrass, mint, hawthorne berries and a few other good things. I drink it any time of the day as a break from coffee or black tea.
Just got back from my first “walk in the rain” today. We live on a ¼ mile long private dead-end road – very little traffic, so up and down it twice is a mile. Want to get another one in today – yesterday I got drenched first time out so for the afternoon walk wore my “rubber raincoat”. Thought I’d sweat to death but it wasn’t bad.
Question for those of you who are able to eat your exercise calories – how is that calculated? Do you have a fitness device like Fitbit or Apple Watch which does it for you? All I can get from my Fitbit info is the steps and calories burned. The steps are showing up on MFP but calories not yet – Tech is still working on it.
I’m sure there is a non-device formula for this…something like BMR (mine is 1366 per MFP). Yesterday I got in around 7500 steps which is showing a total of 1811 calories burned…I am guessing that’s taking into account the 1366 BMR?
I’m trying to intuit this but not sure if I am starting with the right data.
Sorry for the epistle, hugs to those needing hugs. Waving HI everyone-don't slip, take care shoveling, stay warm and dry those of you in the midst of the blizzz!

Sending warm thoughts to all of you who are snowed in!
Heather: I also have a major problem with the public smoking here in France. Smoking is banned in all public buildings, so the smokers all congregate outside. Part of the joy of living in France for me is sitting in a sidewalk cafe and watching the world go by. I only do that now if there is a separate outdoor non-smoking section. This morning I went to a local shopping mall and parked in the underground parking. Before I went out the door, I took a deep breath and held it until I was well away from the smoking zone.
Karen: Olivia looks so much better. You must all be relieved!
Katla: I also usually skip the dip and sprinkle the chicken breasts directly with the dill and the garlic salt. Dill is lovely with chicken.
NYKaren: congratulations on the good results!
Ginger: Love the variety in your menu and the look of the spreadsheet.
Sarah: Don't be too discouraged; I think losing gets a little harder as we age, but you will get there!
Paula: Your trip sounds lovely!

Leigh - One of my favourite things in all the world is lunch under an umbrella. Can't do it now in France. Middle/Upper class older women seem to be the worst offenders. And as for those plastic covered outdoor spaces in the winter time - it's just a fug. :sad: We didn't have a problem in Spain, nor in Mexico.
Karen VA - forgot to say how happy I am that Olivia is coming off all machines. What joy!
WE HAVE HEAT! :drinker:
I managed 226 extra calories on the bike. Hooray! I was watching a favourite property programme on my tablet.
Katla - I also like sweet potato, but it's double the calories of butternut squash. I count 12 per raw oz for the squash and 25 for the sweet potato.
Lanette - When I'm counting calories from walking I use the estimate from MFP. They give different estimates for different speeds of walking. So if I was walking at 3 miles per hour, your walk would take 20 mins. I would look up "Walking 3 miles per hour" and enter the 20 minutes. Sometimes I guestimate. So if I have been ambling round the shops for hours I take an imaginary stroll in my head of where I've been at a slow 2 miles per hour and enter how long I think it would have taken at that speed. My own calories are done for me on my machines and for the strength training I use MFP and enter 20 minutes, which is 64 calories according to them. All activities are given with estimated calorie burn, though I do think gardening etc is very over optimistic. You would have to be digging an allotment.!!!
I also, because I have been doing this for so long, mostly enter my food under "Quick Add" . I weigh everything and I know all the values by heart, so it just saves time that way. My regular food, that is the same every day, like breakfast, cheese, dessert fruit, yoghurt, alcohol, is on my favourites, but lunch, snack and dinner not. I sometimes write it down and add it up if it's a long recipe. It works for me as I don't count macros. I just follow a lower carb, healthy diet. Lots of veg.
Doesn't Bea look happy pushing her bee! :laugh: She's only been standing up a week or so! I'm hoping she will slim down a bit now she's moving.

Here's a quick shot of my breakfast "mess" - pretty typical of my morning meal. Diced mushrooms (maybe 1/4 c) sautéed in a dab of butter, 1/2 oz or so of deli ham if I have it around, 1/2 c cooked veggies - had steamed asparagus I chopped and tossed in. Then scramble in an egg.
I try to get oyster or shiitake mushrooms - morel or chanterelle if they are in season. But, plain old white button ones do fine.
Note the red specks on top....that's Kimchee! Sliced cabbage, red pepper flakes, garlic, some ginger all fermented- and yes, it's salty. Normally I just use plain kraut as a topping but this is all we had in the fridge. DH and I eat some type of fermented cabbage each day.
Sorry for the lousy focus.... light wasn't good enough this morning to get a fast shutter.
Lanette
SW WA State wiping her nose from the kimchee's zip.
UPDATE- this plate without the orange is 139 calories, 7 gm carb, 9 gm fat, 12 gm protein, 1 gm fiber, 2 gm sugar. according to the MFP food diary entries.
5 -
Lanette - Hope you can see my answer to your question above your latest post. Sometimes when we post at the same time we miss one.
Your breakfast looks great, but my personal fad is I don't like sweet (fruit) with savoury. Loving the rest of it though. :flowerforyou:
Heather UK xxxxxxx1 -
Heather, yes I saw your answer just after posting this. Thank you - I have an older program called "Fit Day" which helps calculate calories per activity as well - yes, my 1 mile walk takes around 20 minutes, often less tho. I will start entering that into MFP and see how she goes.
I happened to have that orange around since I was zesting it - so added it for some "photo appeal" lol.
Sounds like the rain is backing off a bit so will prepare for my next puddle-jump.

Lanette Thank you for this thoughtful reply. I am an INF and evenly split on the P-J parameter, very different from you. I think people with your profile are supposed to be excellent attorneys, judges, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and professors. INFs are supposedly good mental health professionals, physicians, clergy, professors, childcare workers, and musicians.
I do have a sick sense of humor. Fortunately my partner does, too, so she isn't shocked when I make a horrible joke. She just laughs. She thinks I'm funny.
The BBQ reference, for example. Now that's funny...

Feeling better and doing more. Daughter's scan not so good, twins will probably be born next week by C section at 33 weeks. I have to be well enough to drive there and look after my granddaughter. So, in times of stress, I got a manicure and bought some new makeup. I reckon if I can feel better about myself I will get better quicker. Not really counting calories, more concerned about eating good food and in fact just eating food after 3 weeks of oranges and yoghurt.
Good luck to all of you experiencing such bad weather in USA.4 -
Rita congratulations!
(((Katla)))
Heather great picture of Bea. Happy Birthday to her!
Still adjusting to daylight savings time!
Allie freezing rain on top of your snow! Yuck. Been there no fun!
Took our taxes in today. We will get them back next Tuesday. Went well. We have the same person help up every year.

Heather: I checked out your information and it appears that sweet potatoes are higher in calories. My small baked sweet potato last night was 30 calories. I am satisfied that is okay for me. I usually season mine with nutmeg or cinnamon but seldom add fat such as butter or margarine.
Pip: I love the photo!

Heather Thanks for the "Bea's Bee" Fix. And yay for heat, so lovely and underappreciated until one is without. Even though we just have wind and cold here, many are without electricity. We have electricity but our house has a backup generator which I am eternally grateful for. That, along with the electric dog fence, will be a good selling feature when we get ready to sell our house someday.
Every woman I see who has been a longtime smoker looks older than she really is.

Going to log one hour of shoveling/ pushing a heavy snow blower! Wet, cold work but now I'm resting with a hot cup of coffee, nice. I think Connecticut is getting the brunt of the storm, we really didn't get the 2 feet they were calling for. Stay warm Rita love the pic of the RV, how exciting! I bet it feels real now!!

Hey everyone! So today I have Ber trying to get on the TOPS website... I guess I logged onto it many years ago, but misplaced my user name and password! To then they needed my hotmail so they could sent me the user name. I never really have gone onto the hotmail acct, I had created it to start up the Amazon tablet. So the hotmail acct says that there is so much junk mail, that it was suspended. So they needed a phone number to message me a code to reactivate the hotmail acct. *insert long sigh* Oh for the love of God, just kill me now!! Have I told you all that I abhor technology?? Haha!!
Well I reactivated my hotmail. Sent TOPS the email so they could message me the user name, and presently I am waiting for that...
All this because tomorrow I have a program to do for the TOPS meeting. I had cut out a nice article in The Oregonian Sunday newspaper, but TOPS headquarters has stated that all programs be from the TOPS website or their bible er I mean handbook. Dangnabbit!
Today I am fixing some catfish with honey and soy sauce and white rice. First time frying catfish, so I William let you know if it turns out. Yesterday I had made some soup I threw together. So it was kidney beans, green beans, celery, broccoli, chicken stock. Boy it was GREEN! I added 2 T of some spaghetti sauce I had leftover, didn't help! Anyway I ended up eating leftover spaghetti, and throwing the soup. Epic fail! Lol!
Hugs to all!
Becca
PS. My hair is grumpy greasy today. Will rinse it in a hot bath along with my tired body.2 -
Karen,
Ref the Myer's Briggs, I'm actually becoming more "Introvert" the older I get - being around people is often too much info and saps my energy quickly. I can "turn on" the Extrovert for short periods of time.
I was the only "thinker" in a family of "feelers" plus the middle kid. I remember being chastised "why can't you be like everyone else?" And I was a good kid, really - never got in trouble, good grades. Just didn't fit into the mold like my brother and sister.
We tend to hang around our "type" - and there weren't many NTJ's in my little world back then.
Learning about MBTI gave me great insight into my own and other's family dynamics. I still run into folks in their 80's and 90's - my parent's generation who don't "get" their kids and are angry about it - I try to explain to them, (often wasted breath,) that folks are just made differently and process the world differently - doesn't mean they are WRONG! Stop expecting them to be in someone else's mold!
I have a lot of "feeling" folks in my world now (I married an INTJ ) and I so appreciate their insight and warmth in my life. I'll be explaining a situation to one of my INFP friends and she'll respond, "You must have felt (fill in the blank)" It's like someone hit me over the head. Yes, that's how I felt and it was neat to have that recognized as a feeling! Because I'd normally just file the experience away like Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang) or Mr. Spock, lol.
If any of you are curious about this MBTI language we're talking, do a search on "Personality types" - Myer's Briggs or Kiersey/Bates (a little different but same idea.)
Lanette
SW WA State - just returned from a fairly dry walk!

Lanette and Karen - Oooooohhhh, could not resist taking the test!
Turns out I am The Architect - INTJ-T
It makes a lot of sense, although I always thought I was more of a creative type. ......... :blushing:

Hello ladies: Gray and drizzly here again today. Horses hanging out in the shelters and making them a mess. Our winter supply of hay is getting low and we will have to buy more soon. No grass in the pastures yet. All of you who are in the storm's path please stay safe and enjoy your snow day.
Rita - The RV looks like a winner. Hope you enjoy it immensely.
Ginger - Thanks for posting your meal plans and pictures.
DJ - I think you look very nice in your dress. I like the color and style.
Sarah - Get things checked out and then you can stop needless worrying and imagining stories with unhappy endings.
Karen - Yeah for Olivia getting to go home. What a relief for all of you.
Kelly - Glad that pi-baby is finally on his way. Best wishes for an easy delivery and a healthy baby.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA1 -
Heather,
It IS fun, that's for sure.
You ARE an architect! The actual MBTI does give a slightly different interpretation. Sometimes schools/counselors can administer the MBTI if you want to dig a bit deeper.
I think a lot of the on-line dating services are using a version of personality type testing for their match-up's, and it's not a bad idea.

Lanette - I got DH to do the test. He is The Consul - ESFJ -A/T :laugh:

Heather~ I took the test and I am the same as your husband ESFJ dont know what it all means, but that is my score

Sarah ... you spoke your fears aloud and now they're out in the open, no longer able to torment you! Bravo! Share them with your doctor in April ... and put them to rest for good.
I'll just say that life keeps getting weirder and weirder ...
Tomorrow is husband's back surgery and we need to be at the hospital at 7:30 am. It's usually a 25 minute drive to downtown Buffalo ... we'll see if this snow causes any problems tomorrow morning. Just now, the house across the street was being plowed out and the plow driver backed into an oncoming car in the street. Looks like no injuries but lots of photos being taken!
Beth near Buffalo2 -
Just googled Myers Briggs & found & did a personality test. I'm an ISTJ - the descriptors fit me to a T.
Been snowing like crazy here (upstate NY) all day. All area schools were closed today, so we all got a snow day to stay home. I teach at a school about 45 min (good weather) drive SE of where we live. Hubby works as a Bldg Maint Mechanic at our local district & daughter goes to high school in that district, too. With the time change this wk, I was more than happy to get to go back to bed soon after I got up. Took quite a while to fall back to sleep, but managed eventually so got another hour or so of sleep.
Hubby usually has to go in early to plow snow for the district & only comes home when done to get the rest of his snow day off. Today, the timing of when it hit us worked out that he hadn't gotten a call to go plow early & got to just stay home. I was so happy about that --- until about an hour ago when he got the call that the superintendent was insisting that the guys go in to plow today & again tomorrow morning. REALLY?!! Couldn't wait?! It's getting even worse out, too, so now I'm worried about him being out driving in this. I get that it's easier to tackle it over time instead of wait till tomorrow, but she could've let them know this earlier today before it got even worse out. No concern for their safety, I guess. So glad this will be the last yr we have to deal with this since he's retiring this summer. Hope he gets done soon - every time I look outside, it's worse. He said he might bring the school truck home (with the plow - he has a truck, but not as big & no plow) so he can do our driveway instead of have to snowblow it. He'll probably at least take a drive by to our house when he goes to plow the elem. school that's about 2 min. away from home. The main town where the other schools are (& maint. shop) is about 10 min. drive from home.
Sure is crazy weather this yr. Nothing new to have this much snow here (have gotten a lot more some years), but crazy that it was over 60 degrees out during my Feb. break & we'd finally gotten most of the snow melted before this wk. Still had a few smaller piles of it, but more grass than snow at least. Not any more. When we let the dogs out this am (2 cockapoos), one stopped on the deck & looked freaked out as if to say, "what the heck happened?". Both stopped only long enough to pee right on the deck instead of going into the backyard like usual & right back in. Don't blame them.
Took advantage of the extra time off today to do more time on the treadmill. Did 100 min. (about 20 of those were slow pace) - treadmill stopped & reset when it hit 100. Didn't even know it did that - never got to that many min. before. LOL Then had nice leisurely lunch of a salad with little bit of avocado, sliced almonds, & strawberries. Don't like salad dressing (never have), so just a tiny bit of olive oil. It was so yummy. Nice to just take my time, too instead of feeling rushed when I eat lunch at work. Took a smaller salad yest. but felt rushed to eat it in the few minutes I had left in my lunch pd to eat after organizing stuff, pee break, etc. Wonder if we'll get another snow day tomorrow or delay. Depends on what this storm does. Today was our last allotted snow day, so if use more, they'll need to adjust something. Have a planned conference day (when students are off, but teachers work) in May so maybe they'd change that. Hope they won't take days back from planned April break.
Gotta go work on bills & go shovel snow so hubby has less to do. Then nice hot shower - didn't bother after exercising since knew I'd go shovel too eventually. As much as I hate shoveling, at least it burns calories. Would so rather be shoveling dirt to plant stuff! Oh well. Just hope this is the last big amt of snow for the season & it goes away again by April.
Take care everyone.

I was doing well, until March. I hit 151 pounds once in February, and weighed 151 on March 1, and thought that would be a great start to the month, but my weight's been creeping up and I'm seeing numbers I was hoping not to see again!!!! I went swimming today, though, so maybe I'll see some improvement as the week goes forward.2
