Hi Phoebe----I was wondering if you came across on your way to Florida. Interstate 10 is a long way from me.. So you will be going thru Houston.
time for you to sleep. I got your e-card today thanks. And I have been working on cards today. I order me som Christmas designs that I can do directly on cards. That is really handy. I place my order online give them my credit card # And just like Magic it is there for me to use. After I download it and make a disk. The company I order most of my design is Embroidary Library.0 -
Hey Phoebe, I was wondering how you were going to go to get to Florida. Interstate 10 is a long way from me. I guess you are already out of Texas now. Have a safe trip.
Ellie. I remember you talking about green tea What kind do you drink? does the diet green tea work.? I have been drinking lipton green tea Taste pretty good on these chilly morning and evening. But I still like my Latte before bedtime.
Biggramma, how are you and the exercise doing. When I first started to used these scale monitor it ask me if I exercise and I said no. they soon called me back and said as long as I still go to the bathroom that was exercise and I do that plenty taking these water pills.
So Jeffrey I get plenty of exercise. But I know I need to do more. I still get around in Walmart.
Sandy----Just keep at it.
Pat, Its been wawhile since we heard from you.Hope all is fine. Your weather has been something else. first all that snow and now tornadas. We ussed to live in Midwest cidty, My husband was station at tTinker Air Force Base. We had a Storm cellar but thank goodness we never had to go down in it.0 -

Hi from rainy florida. hope you are having a lazy Sunday. got in some walking today. had lunch at a buffet. good vegetables. but still had too much-It was the rolls but that was the main meal so a sandwich with soup will be plenty tonight. bye0
-
Good Morning all,
Not much going on today. Don'dt even know what I am going to eat yet. I Think iI will be an egg omelet this morning.
My daughter Alice came out yesterday and we drove out to a nearby town to have Lunch and do some shopping. I had a wonderful Havest Salad with shrimp. It was so good. At a resturant call Cotton Patch. Last night I just had a Lean Cusine Dinner. For breakfast it was waffle. As far as I know I stayed under my 1300. We look up the resturant on internet and they just had their Menu and not the nutriction, But I did get plenty of Walking in.
Today it is going be a little cool and cloudy. A good day to stayed in my PJ and robe.And just relax.0 -
Good Morning!! I have to confess and I feel awful that I over indulged yesterday by going over my 1200 calories by almost 700 extra calories. We had a small party for my granddaughter and between the food I ate, the piece of birthday cake I ate and the glasses of wine I drank, I feel more than guilty today.
I am going to try to work extra hard on my elpitical today and make up for all those calories. Have any of you ever went over by so many calories????0 -
Hi all you Sneaker People! had a great long sleep-hope you did too. What is on your agendas for today? we hope to be home tonight but we don't know yet Take care0
-
Sandy, I am sure we all have at one time or another. I know I have, But don't beat yourself up over one day. Just get up and start over. It is so hard to change old habit. I change my calories from 1200 to 1300 and do much better at it now. I eat from 1200 to 1300 a day.
Hello Phoebe, you are much closer to home now. Alice and I went to Rockwall east of Dallas and went to a Michael TShey did have all those little doo dads. Our Michael here in Mesquite is not not that big of a store. All I ended up buying was some 3 in 1 glue. and I had a 50% off coupons So it only cost me 1.99 We did have a wonderful lunch. I didn't gained any this morning so I'm guess I am OK.
Jeffrey
Maybe you s now is all gone now. How close are you to Chicago? We went thru In. to get to Oh. to visit Alice when she was living there. And went to a casino there. But I'm thinking that must have been in the southern part of In..
Ellie---I never been in your part of the country but would love too. we did get as far as New orleans once.
Biggramma---- Sunny calif. But it is not always is it?
Shar
I have not forgotten you, Been keeping up with you on Blue Team. Doing great!
Everyone have a great day. Marie
Biggramma--- Sunny Calif. But it is not always. is it.0 -

Good Morning from not sunny California....we are having rain, snow in the mountains and some very serious winds....In fact the Grapeview which is the major road between Southern and Central California is closed because of 100 MPH winds....Very dangerous to drive in that.
I am loving this weather since we need it so bad....not the winds...but the snow and rain....
I hope everyone is having a very nice day....
HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY........
I am sure you all remember when we celebrated Lincoln and Washington's birthdays on the real day....:flowerforyou:0 -
Hello Everyone!
Marie- We live about 2.5 hours east of Chicago. Northeast Indiana. Out in farm country! Yup the snow is gone but maybe some more tomorrow.
PJ- travel safe!
Sandy- Don't worry about going over the calorie count. It is over and done. You will just have to "lose" those calories! It is so hard not to indulge at family gatherings and parties. I know from first hand experience. Just elipitcal away the extra calories! Keep focused and keep thinking of reaching your goals. You will make it! It is a journey down a winding road not a short path.
We are all fine here. Pretty quiet weekend. Just the normal. Cleaning, laundry, grocery, etc. We are thinking about meeting our oldest in Gatlinburg, TN in a few weeks. I am getting excited about that. The youngest is not coming home for spring break this year. She is going to see her sister in Atlanta. I really miss my girls but I know they are doing well and have a good foundation.
You all take care and enjoy this Monday! There will never be another one like it!

Thanks for all the encouragement, I did work extra hard today and have 299 calories left for a snack later. My downfall is having a glass or wine or two daily but I am going to try and stop that habit so I don't use all my calories on wine, when I should be eating something healthly. I am happy to be on this board where I can be honest, it will help me be honest with myself.

We are heading home. We were sent to pick up a load of peanuts in Blakely GA. yes it is the town on the news. we joked about that. We actually were next door to the bad pnut place. the locals were talking about it. thankfully, the plant we went to seemed in good condition. It has no affiliation with PCA. it has been a long time since we have been in a place where our cell phones had no signal-we were about 40 miles away from there before we had reception today. be careful stay safe0
-
Sandy we are so glad to have you here. You are helping us as much as we help you.
Phoebe, I just bought a bag od peanuts for our little four legged creatures. That come by to have breakfast with us. Sammie get a lot of enjoyment watching them. I bet you will be glad to get home. Where do you have to take those peanuts?
Jerry and I are headed to the barber shop to get our hair cut. Its been 2 months since I been. Looking kind of shaggy. Jerry goes once a month and I go ever 2 months. I will never get anther perm for the last one was such a mess. I think this cut should get it all off.
Haven't plan my menu yet. Did have old fashion oats for breakfast. I have grilled salmon left over from yesterday, so i guess I will have it for lunch with a good servings of veggies and ice tea. And a Salad.
It is foggy outside kind of gloomy. Hoping the sun will come out later.
Everyone have a good day. Marie0 -
Hello Everyone!
Nothing new to report on my end today. So far quiet! And I like that! I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday! Take care.
PJ- don't get mixed in with the other nuts!
Sandy- hope you have a good day! minus 3500 calories is a pound gone! Keep at it girl!
Jeffrey0 -
Good Morning Everyone!! I did a weigh in today and I lost another pound and lost 1/2 inch off of my waist and hips. I am so excited!!! :happy: :blushing: :bigsmile: Thanks for all the encouragement and I hope you all have a wonderful day!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:0
-
Sandy, I am so proud of you. I too lost a lb. this morning. I never did take my measurement ti compare but if fif do iit today and recored it. See we can do it. Have a wonderful day. Marie0
-
Good Morning!
Congrats Sandy! Good for you! Keep doing what you are doing, or not doing! I am very happy for you.
Just keep at. Weight loss is just the opposite of putting it on, it takes time, and effort. You are starting to see results and that is the best fuel that you can have. Don't try to lose it all at once, it won't happen, just keep focusing on what is working and stay with it. Push yourself and learn from the experience.
Marie- Anything new?
Pj- How is the trip going?
Shar- You doing ok?
One of my good friends lost his job yesterday. Pretty rough for him. My mother in law was hospitalized with pneumonia yesterday too. It ended up being a tough day, but I am alive to fight again!
Everyone be well, and smile!

I qualify as a senior. You're never too old to start working out. i'm 55 and in the last year have gained muscle mass, although not as quickly as I could 40 years ago!!! Working out (leg excercvises on Bowflex), along with weight loss, helped cure arthritis in my knees/legs/feet. I started a rigorous weight loss regimen at about age 52 and ended up losing approximately 120 lbs----no more blood pressure meds, nowhere near the arthritis problems, feel 1000% better than when I was younger. What works best for me is a mix of anaroebic (resistence/weights) and aroebic (walking, swimmin, biking, etc). YOU CAN DO IT! The docs told me point blank that my physical condition helped me get through a verry harsh cancer treatment. Take care of your body. It's your mind's playground!0

Welcome Double, What a great story you have yo tell. That is just wonderful. and We are so glad to have you here. Jeffrey will be glad to have a buddie here. You both are really into your exercise and that is great. We learned a lot from Jeffrey and I am sure we will learn a lot from you. A big high five to you. Marie0
-
Thanks for the encouragement Jeffery, you are a true role model. Marie, thanks also for your encouragement and I am happy for you that you lost a pound. :flowerforyou: :drinker:
Welcome Double you also are a role model we can follow, what a great story. :bigsmile:0 -
Home again, yahoooo!! The best place for me to be!
Hi Doublenickel, I like your name..glad to hear from you, and congrats on beating the big C too.
I'm sure you are a fighter, just by the way you tell your story!!
It's great that you have made health and fitness a 'family thing', that is an inspiration not only to Golden Sneakers, but MFP allover. Tell your story twice, or more!!
Yep, Jeffrey, we survived the land o' nuts.. tracked some peanut skins on our shoes, but otherwise we are unscathed..we think!
Hi missy Marie, how are you today? I found a cute website to do with adding photos to all kinds of things, free it says.. www.smilebox.com.. I might try it later if I get time.
It is a rainy day here, and will be tomorrow too.. what do you all suggest for a little bit of activity? I was thinking about Walk Away The Pounds..probably will do it after lunch..haven't eaten today yet.
Not much going on here, just sorting mail, etc. I got a new cell phone, it has a larger screen, but it may be slower for me to type on it.. it is a touch screen, so you have to use the keyboard instead of a standard phone keypad. Kind of small, but doable.
ok, going for lunch.. have a great day!!0 -
Hi Double! Good to have you here! That's 2 of us at 55! How do you like your bowflex? I have been looking at them to replace my stack machine. I just finished the P90X Classic. I am probably in the best shape of my life. I am currently planning on doing the "X" again and then move to the P90X Plus.
It is real good for strength but is really minimal (for me) on weight loss. I really do like it and cannot say enough good about it.
Marie! I forgot to tell congrats on the last pound gone! You are doing great! Nice and steady. Keep right going!0
