WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JULY 2020

This morning is another “Bright, bright, sunshiney day.” DH is still sleeping & the dog is asleep beside me as I write. I tried a Chocolate Mint experiment yesterday. I put a fresh chocolate mint leaf into my coffee. Not much to crow about. The dried chocolate mint leaf was/is more potent & I like it MUCH better in my coffee. I bet it will be fabulous in a cup of hot chocolate. I’ll test that theory next winter. I've spent the ast hour or so getting my login straightened out. NOT FUN. The good news is that I finally made it here via laptop.

It is very good in a cup of tea(or as the tea for an herbal tea/no caffeine)

Faye, Barbie starts us off, you will see the link later today.
At work, but using my phone so will be brief. I was .4 lb less at the end of July than the beginning. I know I was retaining water so not going to sweat it. I'm lower this morning than the last few days, have managed to get more fluid in me to try to flush the system.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Kylia, I agree with others. Those macros are about what you get with a Keto diet. It never looked healthy to me, but there are those who swear by it. I believe it works well with diabetes but not so well with heart issues. I have a friend who’s been eating that way for well over a year. She looks fantastic. I can’t do it.

I have another friend who just started a new diet and has lost 23 lbs in a couple of months. I knew it had to be one of the MLMs because every time somebody asked her how she was doing it, her standard answer was “I’ll PM you.” Nosy me had to know so I asked her to PM me. She wouldn’t even tell me in her PM. It said, “ when is a good time for me to call?” Still nosy, so we talked on the phone. It was one of those buy all your food except one meal from them, eat six meals a day for a total of about 900 calories, cost a fortune, get your own health coach (which she apparently is now.) i listened to her spiel about how much better she feels since she gave up processed foods. So I asked her to read me the ingredientS of one of those non-processed foods. It started with soy protein isolate, a couple of other things, then a bunch of words she couldn’t pronounce. Bless whoever gets her as their health coach. That bar was the poster example of processed. I said, oh, I’m so sorry. I don’t eat soy. She wanted to know why. I went into the whole roundup controversy, so she decided she needed to go. I’m glad it’s working for her, but I can’t do it.

I’m on a decluttering kick again. I’ve been bingeing on Dana K White podcasts and getting motivated.

Dr. Katie, I am leary of anyone selling meals and coaching advice even if it appears to be working for them. It always bugs me that some get on these forums and make friends just to sell you something. If any diet or exercise is associated with a pyramid scheme, I immediately dismiss it.

My computer is working the way I want it to work. I feel better about it. I contacted apple support and had someone walk me through what needed to be done. It is now doing what I want it to do. YAY! That said, the first person I talked to at apple didn't seem to know anything about apple computers. He wanted to sell me an ipad. I didn't want to buy something different. I wanted MY computer to work and now it is working just fine. :bigsmile:

Reached the end of another month working from home. There are parts of it I like better than being in the office, but I do move around more when I am in the office. Even the trips to the printer help with movement. I am making myself move more often during the day instead of just planting myself in front of computer.

Met with trainer at gym this afternoon. Changed up what she has me doing. Still focusing on core strength, balance and arm strength. Will take a couple of visits to get used to new routine. Muscles are pleasantly sore, if you know what I mean-I know I exercised them but not painful. The real test will be tomorrow morning.

Weekend plans are to continue working on painting window frames and hopefully get a couple of the new curtain rods ups.

Tired tonight-going to watch some tv and maybe go into bed early.

Take care all,

Good morning,

Looking for insight....I have a friend that has lost a lot of weight in only 4 months. Last night she said they (her and husband) are 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. Not calorie counting. Just macros. This just doesn't seem healthy to me and am concerned. I undertand that lots of bloodwork has come back better due to weight loss, but is this really a healthy lifestyle change? Not judging, just concerned. Insights appreciated.

That is almost Keto. I’ve been doing that for almost 2 years now and never felt better. Those macros eliminate sugar and flour. Just those two gone will amaze you. There are lots of thing to replace them with. Very healthy diet. It is what my doctor has my DH and me on. Check out dietdoctor.com for research and mor info on those macros.

Thank you for all your support. Those who have planned a funeral no how many decisions need to be made quickly. We now have our plots, the funeral home piece, and pastor.

We are having the service at the cemetery because this cemetery looks like a park. No one has a monument so it is all open and room for social distancing, the music is done my choir director will sing How Can I Keep from Singing and I will sing St Francis of Assisi. My Cousins are going to order the cupcakes. This is what I wanted for the food. A friend is going to bring flowers from her garden and I will bring from mine and son's for around his coffin. I am asking friend to bring flowers from their garden His coffin will be closed.

So things are coming together to have the service we want for him. We want to end the service with

We truly love you John because his last text to us was I truly love you. He know we would not let him go without a fight. He knew it was it was his time to go and he needed to be the strong one to let go.
