Hi Suzy, Vail Well i'm finally home lol. got home thurs late afternoon and at least i didn't have to find a hazmat suit to clean out the fridge… there was only a tomato and a cucumber that died and they were both bagged thankfully … the milk cartons just went straight into the trash bag along with anything wrapped in foil…

Hi…. finally signed on to my laptop so i can do a quick post - i hate typing anything on my phone and i cant get into MFP there anyway cause i forgot my password and its only saved on here LOL.. Vail that is SO awesome you were able to arrange for your dad to meet his great grandchild!!) that was a lot of work getting him…

i'm with you Suzy i am SO done with winter and being cold all the time lol.. we've having another snowstorm right now here… omg… it never ends LOL.. my sister and cousins keep trying to convince me to move down here.. i'm like sure i'll move there for the summer…. but not a chance in hell i would want to go thru their…

Hi Suzy & Vail.. Suzy im sorry to hear your dad is now in hospice.. as Vail said its so very hard to see your parents deteriorate when there's nothing you can do to help or stop or slow it.. gentle hugs.. Vail i have a friend in a similar state to you with the hip… she can't play pickleball anymore because its so bad; she…

hmm no sign of either of you for the past month... hope all is well.. if you would rather we just let this chat close, just let me know.. i'll understand... not everything works for everyone forever so if it's time to let this go, just tell me :)

Vail.. im sorry about your dad... you and Suzy are both having to deal with the sad situation of parents aging and all that encompasses.. my heart goes out to both of you. Suzy.. you mentioned wondering how you are going to get 2 cups of veggies in a day ... are there certain veggies you like over others? there are a few…

Hi Suzy, Vail Sorry i havent been in. i did read the posts but time got away from me and didn't get back.. Vail - how did it go with your dad in Scotland.. i was thinking about you & what a difficult situation for you especially with the added ugh of the hip... i have no doubt some of those crazy eating moments (like that…

Suzy - by day 4 of the video my hips and back hurt so i bailed on it!! Will try to find a stretch one and/or a beginner strength training one instead. how did it go with the nutrionist... hoping there was something helpful and that you liked him or her.. and felt comfy asking any questions?

Suzy i haven't walked in eons because of the freezing cold temps and yes the bits of ice patches scare me.. the last thing i want to do is take a header so until things warm up a bit (not likely for a while) i'll have to find things to do indoors.. im just too chicken and i dont like being cold LOL... I'm trying to be…

Good morning Suzy, Vail.. I decided rather than start a new thread for 2025, just to continue on this one but i did change the header for this year .. i chose "consistency is more important than perfection" as this year's theme.. I admit what made me pick that was because as I mentioned, i was feeling slightly overwhelmed…

Suzy I'm so sorry to hear your Dad was in hospital over the holidays .... i can only imagine all the challenges still facing you now that he has been discharged though.. sending gentle hugs your way.. i went offside like crazy in December... bad habits from before reared their ugly heads .. and i have been trying to get…

Wishing you both a healthy and happy 2025 with new opportunities for fun and laughter and memories to be made and cherished!

Vail and Suzy wishing you both a very Merry Christmas!

Glad i gave you a laugh with the earrings Vail.. not sure my sister would be quite as amused as we were though haha... yes i feel bad for the small businesses who rely on our postal service for delivery and for many who live in rural areas where its only our postal service who delivers there... looks like the govt is…

Morning - just wanted to check in and see how you are both doing. Nothing new here; still involved with the retiree group altho we had our big christmas party on Monday and that's it for this year until a lunch on Dec 30th .. I was able to meet up with old friends a few times this month which was lovely but as we know that…

Vail I remember the days when i was working and all the goodies were around.. it's a tough place!! Good strategy you came up with keep us updated how it's going! Oh wow on making your decision to do the hip replacement.. I understand why you decided to go ahead in case you don't get another chance, but its still a huge…

Vail - believe it or not i totally get that feeling of being pressured into it by others... comments like "what are you waiting for just get it done" like it's not even a big decision. I also find in those situations its almost like they look at me like i'm stupid.. like "duh.. what's there to think about just do it"..…

Vai i totally get not being sure if you want to go ahead with the surgery; i have a few friend in the same decision making process on hips and knees, weighing current pain levels into the mix & hoping to wait as long as they can. Suzy.. i kinda dread getting blood work back most of the time and im usually a little bummed…

Hi Suzy!! Huge congrats on nailing the hiking i can imagine how great it felt to feel happy about how well you did!! and even better news about being able to see the new grandson.. i totally get the hurt feelings you experienced when you didnt get the invitation to see him earlier.. sometimes the young'uns just dont get…

Hiya Suzie! Great to hear from you.. its funny you mention your family member who is 70 but more like 90.. i had the exact opposite experience last week.. a bunch of my retiree group people wanted to try "tree top trekking & zipline" which is basically going over 25 wooden slat bridges 60 feet in the air.. then taking a…

Vail to be completely honest, its very scary being on your own when you're sick for me... like you said it would be just comforting to know someone is around to check on you.. there are a number of ppl in my retiree group who live on their own too and when I find out one is sick i make sure i message them every day to at…

Suzy huge congrats on the new grandbaby arriving in a few days! lol at "they havent invited me yet but i'm going" i have no doubt they will be very grateful for the help! i agree on how uncomfortable i feel when i eat so much.. i just wish i could remember that before i start eating lol.. but i am trying to eat smaller…

Suzy.. u know both vail and i have been where you are (in my case, many times over the years) so we totally get it... and we both also know that when u r there.. its SO hard to even come up with a plan.. you're just kinda floundering cause it seems so overwhelming (at least that's how it is for me when i'm there).. and you…

its funny vail you mention about how easy it is to go from say the 80/20 rule to instead realizing the 80 percent is now more crap and the 20 is the only healthy stuff. I have also noticed my portion sizes have gotten way bigger recently too at home.. i blame that on all the restaurant meals our group has out.. breakfast,…

i saw this on a friends FB page today... and thot yup... i need this now lol

Hiya.. i read both your posts and can relate to both... for me its my eating habits that have slipped big time... i am eating a lot of crap mostly sweets and salty .. for the longest time i had no urge for any of them and was quite content with doing protein and veg for most meals and just an occasional tim bit or cookie…

Hi you two..... well i just discovered i havent been signed into MFP for a while.. i had no idea because i was able to see our discussion here.. and since im not logging my food anymore i never clicked on the diary and stuff.. til tonite.. and it took me to a sign in screen for MFP.. i was like huh?? so i signed in (and…

I can't get into my MFP site on my phone cause i need to find my password first lol.. but on my laptop its saved i just can't see it... its weird cause my phone will let me wander the site but when i try to post i have to log in apparently there... anyway i'll stick to the laptop for now lol my cousin who had her knee…

p.s. as to the garden... i tossed in some broccoli and cauliflower this year just for the heck of it.. did nothing to them but holy cow... got 5 broccoli and 3 cauli that were amazing lol.. who knew!! lots of lettuce and just waiting on the tomatos to start turning.. we've had a lot of rain which made all the greens…

Hiya!! Sorry i could have sworn i replied a few days ago but i'm obviously losing my mind .... Vail I almost missed your grandson arrived??? omg i was just going to ask isnt he due soon. CONGRATULATIONS!! AWWW what's his name (if you're comfy sharing?) One of my retiree peeps just had their first grandchild.. so far they…
