Yes Faye, fess up!

Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

What must I confess?

Motivation to lose weight:
I needed a hip replacement, and NHS will only put you on the list if you demonstrate that you can get down to a reasonable weight.

I started in late 2014, lost 45 lbs, had the op in September 2015, and just kept going. Have discarded 78 lbs so far. Weight, and BMI are in the normal range for my age and height.

I did a 12 week Bodytrax course at my local gym last year and the body analysis gave this 74 year old a body age of 63 at the beginning of the course. Since the middle of June I have increased my Muscle %age by 2.3%and reduced my Fat %age by over 3%.

PIP It all looks good and very inviting to me. That dresser has a nice contrast with the floor. Would that outdoor rug work as a yoga mat?

Pip: I like your new piece of living room furniture. The colors are attractive and it fits the spot you’ve placed it beside the window. I also like the patio rug and chair. :flowerforyou:

RVRita: We have friends with an enormous fifth wheel that has a washer/dryer in it. Our RV is a twin of yours—no washer or dryer and no reasonable space for either one. Going to a laundromat is okay when the world is NOT having a pandemic. I bet you could find an old-fashioned aluminum tub. I don’t know if it would be hard to get an old fashioned wash board. We have done a light hand wash in the RV kitchen sink and spread a clothes line under our awning. Hanging wet undies above the bathtub is a possibility, too.

Well, went to WalMart to hopefully return the scale, but I had to take it back to the store that I bought it at so went to the soup kitchen, then to the other WalMart since I had to buy gas (which I didn’t since the line was so long), then to Food Lion to get my shirt and was told I needed black shoes (I don’t own any except dress black shoes), back to WM to see if they have shoes (boy, I must have a popular size) – none, so went to Rack Room shoes – none unless I wanted to pay $70 for a pair of shoes that I really wasn’t crazy about, back to WM but all the shoes that would have fit me were a wide width and I can’t take a wide, so to Kohl’s to get shoes since I had a 20% off coupon. They wound up costing almost $50 but that’s a far cry from $70. Now here

I’m at FL tomorrow from 7-11, then Tues 7-11, Wed. 7-11:30, Thurs 7-1130 and next Sat. 7-11:30. Looks like I need to get used to exercise in the afternoon.

Pip – it’s no wonder you have so much energy to bike early in the morning! What color did you want for the dresser? Love the rug – matches the chair nicely

More of a white wash. This is what I ordered

Beth It is just insane all these conflicting mask rules. Cloth masks do hold moisture and germs, but that would hurt the wearer and no one else. Did they require latex gloves? That is way more important in a hospital than a mask.

Of course they didn't require gloves. I thought maybe because my mask was dark colored, but the woman behind me went in with a dark colored cloth mask! I've been wondering if they wanted to see my face. My rosacea has been acting up. Maybe I looked flushed?

PIP~ It's a Yogi mat!:) LOL Carol, I thought the exact same thing! Happy Birthday, btw!
Beth, oh my, words just aren't adequate. I'm so glad your son is okay and will be living with you, at least for the time being. I just can't even begin to understand how/why the paperwork got so messed up! Good grief, they can't even keep the paperwork straight! Yikes! Just caught up and read the final bit about him being nervous about eating "regular" food, sure can't blame him, but..... (shaking my head) so unnecessary if only people were paying attention to what they should be!!
Allie, speaking of paying attention! So glad your nephew is okay, hope you enjoy your weekend away.
Barbie, "opening day of zucchini season" LOLOLOL
Margaret, the photo of your son's garden/service was lovely. {{{HUGS}}}
Washing machines: I remember my mom's old wringer washer, and she had two tubs, galvanized steel, I guess, for rinsing. When she started working (dad was injured, workplace accident, so was being retrained and then trying to start his own small engine repair business), the one thing she really wanted was a dryer, as clothes were hung on the line no matter the weather. My bedroom was off the kitchen, so all winter I got to hear the clothes dripping onto the newspaper she's put below them. She had a wooden drying rack for inside. Ah, good times..... Eventually she got a washer too, I remember her being very careful with the wringer to make sure the pockets were facing the right way because if the closed end was at the back of the wringer, it could "explode"! Cannot imagine life without my washer and dryer!! I would like to have a clothes line, I do really like the smell of line dried stuff, but that's a no-no where we are now. It would be a pain anyway, the laundry room is on the 3rd floor, too many up and down trips for me! lol
I have been reading, and almost keeping up! As usual, I am so grateful to have all you wonderful ladies with your great stories to tell. You make me laugh, sometimes you make me cry, but my life is all the better for having you in it! On that note, I must head off to bed!
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!
