Hope everyone is doing ok.Got a call from pt dr,regarding shin splints.He wants me to rest up til Mon when I see him and see how they are doing.
I had gone to the pool to walk before he called,felt good,but now painful.
Very frustrated,seems I make some progress and go back again.I just have to be patient,which is hard for me.
If you are able to exercise,please do,even if it`s taking stairs instead of elevators.it` s the baby steps that will get you to bigger things.
Have a great day!!
Hugs

It is hot and muggy here in SO CA, not what we are used to. I am leaving tonite with my DS & DIL with 2 grandkids, they are going to Legoland tomorrow and Grammie is going to relax at the hotel. Got some vegies and snaks to keep me occupied.
Will be nice to get away. Was so excited as my boss is going to let me change my hours and be able to work from home when I need it so I can take care of the grandkids. This will be a trial basis, and hoping all goes well. I am an office manager for a surgery center and thank goodness I have employees who are adults and don't need micro managing.
Enjoy Ladies move and drink your water

jb, Laura, DeeDee Good suggestion about reading the MFP success stories at night. I like that idea! Also, jb, you're right, sometimes it's thirst. I promise to drink more water, especially after 7pm. Thank you all for responding back to me. BTW, I exercised yesterday AND today... that's, let me see, where's my calculator, that's TWO days in a row!!! :bigsmile:0
-
Thank you for all the kind thoughts and well wishes for D's..he called me at work and I did pretty well...but then had to go outside and water (really with the hose) the flowers in front of the office...deep breath and one foot in front of the other because that is what he and his fellow soldiers do. Someone asked what branch...he is a Marine.
So tonight (since you all gave me great feedback) I jogged in the pool for 30 minutes...still felt silly but I was moving and not sweating buckets. Tomorrow will be weights in the am and maybe tennis after work with my sister.
Jb - I had not heard the half your body weight in oz for water...so strictly water? I drink several glasses/cups of decaf tea...does that count in the equation or just water?
I also want to send a big thank you to the rn's..my daughter is an rn...passed her boards last summer and works in a step-down Icu for neuro...I am amazed at how much the nurses do and know...thank goodness we have you! Any advice for a young nurse?
Have a good night ladies...hugs prayers and high fives...what a fabulous journey we are on!
Jen0 -
Jen- My stepson was in Iraq for two tours. I couldn't watch the news for weeks after he was deployed. At the time he was there and where he was, he was only able to send some letters. I understand what you are going through. Will be praying for his safe return.

Hello all. Found this group this week & am excited to join a group of women over 50!
I'm 56, joined MFP in late March, joined a gym, met with and RD & began working out with a personal trainer. Made up my mind to get back in shape & try to do it the "right" way. No crazy stuff. I am losing weight, slowly, and feel much better just exercsing.
Love all of the support here on MFP!0 -
You know, yesterday I was thinking. The scale really isn't moving, but yet, I had on these PJ's that I like, What I like about them is that they are short and sleeveless with an elastic waist. I could probably get away with them, but I'm going to be looking for new ones in a smaller size.
cathyb - welcome, you'll get lots of support here
Deb - your story is very inspiring. Did you have WLS?
Robin - good luck to you on the new job!
lauralind - welcome. So sorry about your dog, what kind do you have now?
Did an hour of the Bob Harper Inside Out DVD. Tomorrow will be water aerobics. Then I have to come right home to give Loki his medicine since Vince needs to go for a (never heard of this) nuclear stress test, I have a healthy cooking demo,
What interesting stories everyone has of meeting in places you wouldn't expect. I'm truly enjoying it.
Vince and I are feeling much better. It was really weird, but at least it's over.
Raysfan - you've peaked my interest. what kind of job do you do?
DeeDee - I didn't realize that Nasonex was more expensive than Sudafed!
rfsahae - two days is the beginning of many days, good for you!
Jen - I usually count decaf tea in my water consumption. Caffeine dehydrates, but as long as it's decaf....
kmmealey - welcome. Sounds like you have a great start. Pop in here lots and you'll get so much support you won't know what to do with it all
Off to do some crocheting and then get to bed. Here's hoping everyone has a great evening.

Hi Everyone,
This strand really fits me. Thanks for setting it going. I'm still working out how to use the community area and am looking forward to reading more of your goals, outcomes and ideas. :bigsmile: Cheers from New Zealand0 -
”Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.” (Robert Louis Stevenson)
This is one of my favorite quotes…..it is a state of being that is a goal for me.
I grew up in an atmosphere that was more like “when in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout” (Robert A. Heinlein)
:bigsmile: Barbara, I’ve taught a few dances over the years in my regular dance classes and when we were RVing I taught a short session of a few beginner dances so I’ve worked up gradually to teaching a whole line dance class. As a dancer, I tend to mumble the steps to myself to keep track of where I am so it’s not too big a jump to cueing the dances in front of the class. Also, I write my own cues on my step sheets so I can refer to them when we’re doing a walk through. So far, the hardest dances I’ve taught are easy intermediate. If I could dance every day, I probably would, but DH would miss me.
:flowerforyou: Cathyb60, it took me until I was 61 to finally find the formula for weight loss….it is never too late…..now I weigh less than I have my entire adult life and I have more energy than I thought possible…..never, never, never give up.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Lin, it’s always something
:bigsmile: DebA, what an encouraging post. I hope everyone reads it and takes it to heart.
:bigsmile: Robin, congrats on your job and your 10,000 steps
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Raysfan, could you call the man in your life your sweetheart? That’s a term I use a lot for my hubby who has been my sweetheart since I met him.
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: It has been a joy reading all your posts. This is the night I call my cousin who complains and argues with me, so reading all your positive thoughts will put me in the right frame of mind.

Hello Everyone, How are you today Thursday was hot hot in the northwest. Went to the mall for a walk put in 9 hours of work too. Home to a very messy house yeah me, it is still messy. My daughter is going through a really hard time, because i was so tired all i wanted to do was eat to stop my emotions. I did eat a handful of almonds but i still like a big bowl of ice cream thank goodness thereis none in the house. But because i want to eat i am on my way to bed but before i did remember i had not posted in Besides all the calorie counting, exercie this human connection is another very important part of mfp. I appreciate your honesty reading your post is a big help all of you. Thank you very much!

Hello ladies
Rushing around madly at the moment, trying to catch up with work as I had the day off yesterday. Spent it with DD#2 and we went to see DS in Great Expectations at Covent Gardens. He was playng Magwitch and was fantastic. I am so proud of him. He is just about to do another film - I believe it's a zombie film, a little different from his last two roles which have been ****ens and Shakespeare! Although he did do a short movie with Prunella Scales recentally.
I am truly fed up with the wet weather now and have given in and moved on to my autumn clothes .... hopefully that will initiate a bout of summery weather!
Must get on.
Love to all.

Hey Barbie and friends! I have been avoiding joining this thread because I was in denial I was 50. Well now I am not..................I am 51!!!!!!:laugh:
I am going to check in later, but I have begun to log my foods again and the ticker is going to move this Saturday.
Looking forward to hanging with my peers0 -
:flowerforyou: Happy friday the 13th.....:devil: sorry i am not supersticious (sp)
:bigsmile: well right before i went to be last night i just wanted to dive into a pile of food....i ate a few nuts...and went into the junk drawer to find something else.....but i shut the drawer and sat down...opened my book and started reading...i knew i was at about 1300 calories so i told myself do not start this crap....i have been doing so good with my night time snacking but i am not sure what happened last night and i am so glad that i put my food down and did something else,....now i do not have to feel guilty about eating too much...i stopped after a few bites of trail mix...so i did good....right?
:happy: i heard a few of you talking aobut jogging in the pool...i have been doing that...does it burn a lot of calories....i never really looked it up...actually i do not even count it as exercise....
:drinker: ok i need to get ready for work...hope you all have a great day today

Michele- I chose NOT to have surgery for weight loss. I have seen a few people with good success, but more for whom it did not work. My doctor at the weight loss clinic combines diet, exercise, behavior modification, and lots of moral support to help us learn how to find a balance that will keep us healthy for life. She is the one who suggested using MFP to log food and exercise. During this whole experience I have never felt hungry or deprived of "good" food. I did use protein bars and shakes for the first few months before transitioning to food. (my choice), but she will help people lose the weight without using them. She also follows us during maintainence and will see us anytime in the future if we feel we need her. It cost more money than I felt I deserved to spend on myself, but it was worth every penny. I guess I would have spent it on unhealthy food, etc. anyway. I am definitely in the best shape of my life physically and emotionally. It will be a lifelong journey, but then it is for all of us.

Good morning everyone, Happy Friday !!!
Ive been grumpy the past couple of days. Have some issues with my daughter (break up with the BF she was living with etc) and other stuff going on that I cant control either. The thing that has changed since Memorial Day is that I CAN control what I put in my mouth !! I did wake up today tired of having to think about food, tired of trying to pack healthy stuff to bring to work and oh did I remember everything and just all of it. Stopping by McD wouldve been sooo easy today but I didnt do it ! yay me.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and remember, do something today that your future self will thank you for !0 -
Hello ladies - again, wonderful reading from everyone. I do enjoy and appreciate what you post.
My report: THE KLEENEX IS GONE!! The washer is cleaned out and ready to use again..
Working on trying to be healthier is such an emotional experience. Any little negative seems to take me a bit off balance. I really have to keep myself on track so I've taken a seemingly dramatic step---if someone is causing me to feel unsuccessful, stupid, or negative about the direction I'm taking in my life. They're GONE. This applies primarily in my online life. I had joined a closed group for weight loss for women with fibromyalgia on Facebook. It felt like the moderator kept jumping on my comments like I was stupid and only she knew what was up. I thought about it, decided I didn't need to be upset and I wasn't getting anything from the group, I withdrew from the group yesterday. I feel very good about it.
I guess the learning part for me is don't stick with what is not working.
I thank you for being here and listening to me. It's great.
Wishing everyone a healthy day.
Lin
P.S. :drinker:0 -
Good morning! I hope you won't mind if I join this thread in mid-July and a few months shy of 50. My goal was to get my weight and health under control by 50. At this point, I need a few more months....more than a few!0
-
Good Morning!
Ejnancy2-Know what you mean about drinking water in the evening and then having to get up in the middle of the night! Cutting back on that!
Lin-You mentioned the fibro group you were in-I worked with someone a few years back that had fibromyalgia and I know how diificult it is to manage and how hard it is to get support! I'm glad you are away from that moderator who sounds like she should noe even be a moderator! My prayers are with you!
It's amazing how many calories there are in restaurant foods like Olive Garden. Yes, you think they're high but it was a real eye opener to actually look at nutrition info on website! Ended up having lunch portion of Apricot Venetian Chicken w/asparagus which was abt 290 calories and quite good!
Pleasantly surprised when I was watering flowers this am and jeans were literally falling off my behind! Only lost 9 lb so far but still a good feeling!
Now off to the foot doc to find out abt outpatient surgery for my pinched nerve and hammertoe. Have a great Friday the 13th!0 -
:flowerforyou: TGI Friday!
Meg- enjoy your time away, yep keeping busy is a great way to keep from eating when you shouldn't:drinker:
Raysfan- your job sounds interesting and fun...what is it you do with all those teams:huh:
DeeDee- TAG you played tag:noway: I pretty much try to find games that when I play with the grandsons I'm the one saying "on your mark get set GO":blushing:
Jane- take care of those shins so that they will heal and then you can get back into the exercise,:flowerforyou:
Sherry- ahhh Legoland, my three sons would love to visit there (35, 31, 28) they are still upset that they built that park after they had grown:laugh: Getting to work from home, what a wonderful boss you have letting you see if this will work hope it does:drinker:
Nancy2- we ride our bikes at the Cherry Creek Resevoir or on the Highline Canal trail. Denver has a lot of bike trails and the only problems are that sometimes they seem like a freeway with all the bikers, joggers, dog walkers and just plain walkers so we try and get out early on the weekends and then just hope we are hitting a break in the crowd after work:ohwell: :ohwell: Eating all those veggies is paying off...even if you are feeling like you may turn into one:flowerforyou: Drinking water and heading the the bathroom all night is just something I've come to live with:laugh: it's the small victories that turn into big ones....keep away from those snacks...you can do this:drinker:
rfsahae- Two days exercising is a great start:flowerforyou: we all start somewhere.
Jen- glad you heard from your DS. Hey you can use his time of deployment as an incentive to want to show him all the changes in his mom when he returns...he will be surprised and you will be reaching for all those goals you have set:drinker:
kmmealey- welcome:flowerforyou: sounds like you have jumped in the right way and are doing a great job with the exercise and a personal trainer.
Michele- new pj's...I love getting new ones even though no one sees them just Peanut and hubby
Barbie- good for you calling your cousin, even knowing there will negative words coming back at you:flowerforyou: You are so postitive I'm sure it has to affect your cousin in a good way.
Elizabeth- logging in and checking in with friends of like minds is what keeps us going on this journey. Keep coming back and you will get in the habit of logging your food and getting into some exercise.:drinker:
Linda- yes reading the posts is a great way to keep from raiding the frig:drinker:
Amanda- I wondered why "Charles" last name had been ****:laugh: it's amazing what people seem to think needs editing. How fun to see your son in a play. Sorry the weather is just not being what you want...it seems to be summer here over the pond...hope that your change of clothes brings you some summer weather
DebA- What a great Dr you have that would walk you through this journey and then continue on to see your life style completely turned around...great job on that loss:flowerforyou:
lauralind- :drinker: congrats on NOT stopping at McDonalds! It's those victories that will help you keep going (if you can do it once you can do it again). Sorry you are having issues with your daughter, but I know what you are saying when it's out of your control but what you can control is what you put in your mouth. That's how I'm living right now, I can't control hubby not employed or my work situation or my parents house not selling, but I CAN control what I eat.:flowerforyou:
Lin- I'm pretty sure what you will receive here is very positive encouragement...even when you vent and struggle...hang in there and keep us up to date on all you are doing.:flowerforyou:
kathyszoo- Congrats on the pants :laugh: falling off:laugh: It's those NSV that keep us going.
****
Last night I totally was naughty, will post about it later...food got the better of me:sad: We have company this evening and we are BBQing chicken.
Have to get to payroll or there will be riots in the yard this afternoon and I don't want the boss calling me to ask about why it's not done:blushing:
Have a great day all.Log it, drink water and move the body:drinker:

YAY it's Friday! Happy start to the weekend to all my friends here!
Well this will be short since we are on our way out. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!
Jen: tell your daughter (the newbie nurse...congrats!!!) to LEARN, LEARN, LEARN everything she can! People are not in the hospital because they need medical care, they are in the hospital because they need NURSING care and she will be in charge of her patients, so she has to be on her toes and not afraid to speak up when something is not right. Best wishes to her. I've been a nurse for over 30 years and it's a very rewarding career.
OK, take care, drink up, and stay cool this weekend! Meg0 -
Meg, what looks like a critter is actually a lady's head! The pic was taken at a local quilt show.
So, I'm all packed for our trip to Allen's graduation. Projects to knit in the car are ready and all necessary supplies and accessories are in the appropriate bags. I cannot sit still in the car and not do anything for 900+ miles!! (and Steve, being a GUY, will want to do most of the driving, which is fine with me). The hardest part of traveling will be making good food choices along the way. My husband is supportive of what I'm doing here, but doesn't get it for himself. Several of our overnight stops were chosen (by him) because of their proximity to places we've seen on "Diners, Drive-in's and Dives" and other similar food channel shows. Charlie Parker's pancake house for breakfast in Springfield IL tomorrow...The Rendezvous in Memphis TN for dinner Sunday night. It's going to be hard to make good healthy choices. I debated packing the bathroom scale but I don't think he'd go for that! The good news is that there is an exercise room and pool just about everywhere we are staying so I should be able to swim and ride a stationery bike every night.
I have MFP on my smartphone, so that should help with choices.0 -
Hey all, I just saw this thread and would definately like to join. I am 51 now (a very young 51) even though my body doesn't look it. I have 9 year old twins that I would like to be around for and just had a scare the other day. A younger cousin of mine just had a heart attack!! Yikes! His mother and my mother were sisters, so we all have that blood running through us. I definately don't want to end up the same way. I am fairly healthy except for depression that has just caught up with me due to some terrible things that happened in my life in the past. I am dealing with it and moving on. Come next summer at this time, I will be 50-60 lbs. lighter.
My goals are: Lose at least 1 pound per week
Work out at least 3 X per week (it's been hard for me lately due to the depression)
Eat a healthier diet including more veggies and fruits.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Have a great day!!0 -
50 snuck up on me and it started out depressing. Now that I have been exercising on a regular basis, and in general become more active I am embracing it more fully. My goals for July are:
- Live a more active life and retire my TIVO subscription.
- Get back to my normal weight (10 more lbs to go).
- Strengthen my core.
- Enroll in pilates and do one of those insanely unnatural poses!!!0 -
Happy Friday, the weekend cometh.
Barbie, thanks for posting the "Quiet minds" quote, it's just what I needed. Staying calm during a storm takes practice but it can be done. I'm having a rough time with hubby still being out of work, it wears on me something terrible. The tendency to scream and shout has to be kept at bay, I mean what good would that do. I've been "venting" by taking 12 very fast walk/jog laps around the track each morning. It helps immensly. I'll remember the line about the clock during a thunderstorm. :flowerforyou:
Lin, a little negative puts me right off balance, too. I had a very similar experience in an online group where the moderator was making hurtful and belittling comments, acting like a know-it-all, and a rude one at that. :grumble: I held my tongue and disappeared. We don't need that kind of stuff. Good for you for withdrawing! Positive is as positive does.
Oh, about the water, it's just something I've read over and over again on MFP and many other places. Half of your body weight in ounces is 10 glasses a day for me, you can do the math :laugh: I don't drink much else other than coffee or V8 which I don't count. I would think decaf tea would definitely count as water. I try to drink at least 7 glasses during the day so that by evening time I just have 3 left to choke down :bigsmile:
Nancy, wow, you have a foot again!! Here's to you! :drinker: Now you can enjoy the rest of your summer without lugging around that big old boot. I thought of your hubby's radishes yesterday as I was slicing a bunch of mine to put on my salad. They're just the best!
SALAD SISTAS! Eat a huge salad everyday is the motto. I've been replacing a lunchtime salad a few days a week with steamed spinach or chard since the garden is pumping it out like mad. And beets. And carrots. And shelling peas, yum.
Welcome to everyone new, this is a very fun and informative thread. What a great group of gals here. :flowerforyou:
I'd best get going, I see the sun is coming out from the cloud cover. Must give my mom a call, then grocery shop and get the dogs out for a good walk. Have a wonderful day everyone!

:flowerforyou: good afternoon all, just a quick check in while on my lunch break. Welcome to all the new ladies, how wonderful we keep growing. Today was weigh in. I was surprised with a one pound loss. I really thought with all this constipation I was going to have gained.:blushing: Better get back to work. Everyone have a wonderful day. Love ((((HUGS)))) and Prayers, Rose

Hello again from the sunny Okanagan Valley (BC Canada) :happy:
J'boy is at sailing camp and I just got a pedicure! Oh yes, the ortho-boot is definitely a part of my past. :laugh:
I have been cooking for my parents, and even though they are not big eaters I have been over my limit most of the week. :noway: It's a good thing I found a great place to work out at the Y. Summer is always a challenge for me anyway, so it is my goal to maintain...
It's very fun to read all the posts from new folks and from old friends.
JB, I think DH is addicted to his radishes. I wonder what he'll get into next year? As long as the basil, oregano and rosemary are abundant, I'm a happy gardener - because I don't really garden, I cook!
Hasta pronto,
Nancy0 -
arewethereyet - welcome! You sure don't look 51 to me, that's for sure!
ejnancy - I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th until you mentioned it! Good for you shutting that drawer!
Deb - I'm glad you didn't have WLS. I guess it works for some people, but I do feel that WLS just forces you to have better eating habits, and that's what's needed. I have a friend who had WLS. Before she had the surgery she would complain and complain about how her knees hurt her, etc. We went out to eat and you should have seen what she had! A tuna melt (all that mayo, cheese, ok, the tuna is ok, but that's all) and lots of french fries. I had what they called a diet platter, basically fruit, cottage cheese, deli meats (not the greatest) on lettuce. After her surgery we went out again, I couldn't get over how many pills she had to take. Yes, she'd lost weight. When we were ordering, she said "I have to have the salmon for my protein". I think what she really needed all along was just watching her diet. Now WLS worked for her because it forced her to monitor her intake of food. My apologies to anyone who had WLS.
Laura - good for you not stopping at McD!!!! I'm proud of you
Had a bit of time before water aerobics class so instead of sitting around the house eating, I went to a food store to get the nonrefrigerated items. Did an hour of dep water today, then went back to the store to get the refrigerated items. They're still looking for someone to replace the gal they fired, but the gal who was there today had taken the class and has a great personality. I do hope she gets to do it more. Tomorrow is yoga then I told this lady I'd stop at the store on the way home for her to get cherries for $1.99/lb. She said to try freezing the cherries, I just might try that. She said she freezes her cherries pits and all, and when she takes them out of the freezer, they just fall off the pits. Well, I'll give it a try.
needamulligan - everyone is always, always, always, welcome! Post often.
Kathy - I hear ya about Olive Garden. I usually get the chicken spindini. It's usually on the lunch menu, but they will give it to you for dinner. Also, their minestrone soup isn't all that bad. But some of their other foods! You did great! Sounds like it's time for you to be buying new clothes (can you tell that I like shopping?)
barbie - there was a time when my father was really negative, I dreaded calling him. So many times he'd go on and on complaining, that I'd hold the phone away from my ear. Thank goodness we didn't have video phones....lol Eventually, he wasn't doing that any longer.
Oh....we got a call yesterday. our preconstruction meeting (for the pool) will be either July 23 or 24, they start excavation on the 26th, the pool and spa will be delivered on the 31 so depending on when it's delivered, it'll be placed in the ground the 31st or 1st.
cjspensley - I'm with you, when we're taking a long trip somewhere and Vince is driving, I ALWAYS have something to do in the car. The only time I don't is when I'm doing the driving, like when we go to FL, Vince takes his SUV and the cats, I take my car and the luggage. But I still bring a craft with me. If I don't have something that I'm not working on at the time (which doesn't happen very often) I will start something. I usually take a bag of food that I have. Vince will go into McD's or BK or one of those places, I will go in but have my 1/2 sandwich, veges and what I brought. He just doesn't want to eat in the front, he wants to be where not a lot of people will see what he calls my "contraband"
Nancy - a friend of mine grew basil and rosemary last year. I froze some of the rosemary, just finishing it up now. She's growing more so I'll restock
littlecesar - welcome! So sorry to hear about your cousin, but the bright spot is that it brought you here.
Here's hoping everyone has a great evening.
