WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2024

Afternoon ladies
Back from the nutritionist...she was very pleased with my weight loss and i gave her a sampling of what I have been eating.. she wants me to eat more,eat 3 meals a day between 1200- 1500 calories and 40 grams of protein because of the kidneys..I have done no sweets no bakery items,just a few low carb breads and lots of fruits and vegetables.
I think I lack the where withal to gather 3 meals a day together as im a grazer..but ol Allie will figure it out.
Tracey- Happiest of Anniversaries to you hope its a wonderful day for you.
Annie ,Pip hope your feeling on the up and up.

SMiles is double fisting coloring lol

Gears are good, I can now go on hills with this puppy (not that I want to).

Thank you all for the anniversary wishes.
We didn’t do anything special at all. I went to ceramics and he watched a hockey game and napped.

Annie - I hope you feel better fast, there is a big going around here that had my granddaughter and youngest daughter out for a few days last week and early this week.

Carol - I hope you and DH get some answers soon.

Machka - that’s how I clean.

Heather - sorry you out in a rough night, I hope you’re sleeping soundly tonight.
That show sounds interesting, I may see if I can find it here.

Allie - I am a grazer too. Can you just time the grazing out a bit, it doesn’t take much to get that number of calories.

Sue - I hope running into her doesn’t discourage you from your water time, I know how much you enjoy it.
I am currently avoiding a whole city in the event I might run into my old boss so I surely understand it though.

I had a good day, sunny and not a lot of wind!
I’m glad tomorrow is Friday though.

Good morning from the cool before the scorch of another Arkansas River Valley nearly-summer day... No rain in the two-week projections, and that's pretty typical.

Have to leave in 15 minutes for the final Skyrizi infusion, then they'll move me to at-home injections. I'll find out more about that at the gastro appt two weeks from now. Got a whole week next week with no appointments outside the house!

This weekend is our son and his DSO coming in, and possibly my DBIL, for a Father's Day lunch with Corey's favorite foods... although if he wants traditional American potato salad, he'll have to make it. I'm reasonably sure that potatoes should not ever be eaten cold, but not many people agree with me. He made an absolutely amazing (hot) roasted garlic mashed potatoes.

I steeped and made up a Thai basil and lemon tea for him, and will stop and get some fresh ginger today on the way back home, I think. It will make a great addition to the tea - his suggestion, and a good one. Hopefully it will make it smell better! Right now, it smells just like the wet grass mixed with gas and dirt that comes out from under the mower each weekend. Goes to show you can make something for someone else that you wouldn't eat or drink in a million years.

Except potato salad. Urk. 😜

Gotta fly - need to turn off the sprinkler going on his garden and get out the door.

Later, y'all,
Happy Friday!
Love,
Lisa in AR

Good morning ladies!

It's a brisk 38 degrees at my house right now. Middle of June. Long cool summer perhaps.

For Michael Mosley/ZOE fans, here's an interview with him & Tim Spector a year ago:

Heather - good, good news. Just think of how much you've recovered in a week's time.

Sue - what in the world is that psycho still doing in your community? Was she from there originally? I wonder if she's now living in her car. Seems strange she's not a member of the gym but is allowed to shower there - sounds like a homeless situation to me. I was hoping she was long gone and far away. As Annie says, stay safe!

Annie - glad that you seem to be getting over the worst of the crud. I wonder if some of us have allergies on top of cold viruses and other respiratory bugs.

Rebecca - sending good thoughts to you as YOU navigate through your illness too.

Rosemarie - glad you popped in. Totally agree that bringing a guy into our lives via these online dating sites when we want to relax won't work for us right now. I'm having trouble keeping energy up every day as well.

Had a nice lunch with my friend M yesterday and came home and napped. I'm going to keep blaming allergies and the weather.

Allie - great job with the weight loss and good luck with shopping and meal planning. I think I've gotten out of the habit of cooking.

Yesterday I received next Monday's class outline for the diabetes prevention class. It's all about portion control and tracking. Guessing how many calories are in a portion of food v. what the real count is - illustrated by something like MFP where we enter that info. I know this is new to many people in my class. My experience so far has been if my goal is to lower carbs and concentrate on lean protein, fiber and healthy fats, the calories take care of themselves.

I have a "blind man" scheduled this afternoon. My huge old insulated accordion pleated window blind needs to have a cord replaced. Maybe all three need to be replaced. There's no way I could have taken it down (too heavy!) and brought it into the shop, so luckily he makes house calls. I guess I'll take the books off the coffee table, maybe that's where he'll work on it. Or on the floor? Will have to drug Rosie with CBD so she doesn't try to help, lol. She'll probably get relegated to the back bedroom to drown out her barking. Sigh.

Heading down to the corner to grab goodies from the produce guy. He opens at 7 and I like to get first pick.

Make it a super day!

Yum - strawberry shortcake is a favorite of mine.
Well I did online ordering for Walmart and Sams to pick up tomorrow, today I'll go to aldi and shoprite and just pick up the things I have on my list.
