I haven't personally cleaned my car in a long time. It is popular here in California to sign up for a monthly fixed cost for a drive through car wash. It costs about $20, but I really don't want another subscription to anything. This morning I cleaned the interior. The car is a V W Beatle, so I really had some pretty odd…

Love the ball idea. Will do! Thanks.

I've been looking at these too. I agree, sitting is the new smoking. What interests me even more are the treadmill desks. Some are a small treadmill platform that is placed where the seat would have been and then you need one of the desk platforms like you have. Then there are pretty sophisticated looking treadmills with…

I'm waiting for the fall season to shop. But if I'm not careful, I won't fit in my size 10s anymore (increased weight). Congrats on your progress.

Since the age of 12, I was 5'10. I went away to camp and came back 3 inches taller. I haven't been carded since the age of 17, but I don't think carding was as strict as it is now. It is still a crack up! You made me laugh Robert. Thanks. Chamblisk, I am trying to figure out who I am all over again - style wise. It's all a…

You're not going to believe this. I barely do: I ran an errand after working out, I was still sweating and in gym clothes. I stopped a Bevmo to buy Bourbon for a friend who refuses to take any money from me for fixing my computer. I got to the register and the young cashier (must have been blind too) said, may I see you…

Happy 60 Farback. Logged on today to share my Trader Joe's shopping trip: the cashier called me miss!!! Those darn young cashiers at every store have been calling me Ma'am for about 10 years now. I hope it had something to do with the fact that I just came from the gym. Lol. Hope you are all doing well. Enjoy your day.

Sounds great. Completely forgot about meetup. I'll check it out. Thanks.

I'm tall too and in HS, I looked like a boy. It didn't help that my mom bought my jeans at a boy's clothing store bc my legs are so long. Then I turned 16 and started to blossom and my family got really worried. Their messages were pretty negative. I'm number 8 out of 9 children and beat them all to the punch by earning a…

Great job, Lulu!

Perfect shopping season for cargo shorts ! Congratulations.

Lot's of changes lately, I am becoming a good customer at the shoe repair place. I have a favorite belt (nothing fancy) it an understatement and I love it. First I need him to punch a couple of holes in it and finally when I got down to the second hole - the buckle no longer rested center and there was too much leather at…

I know I mentioned this before, but as I get even better at it - it bears repeating. I have been doing a ton of squats and deadlifts at the gym. Now there is no hesitation, if I have to squat down and put away pots and pans in my kitchen or even organize them like I did yesterday. This morning I was vacuuming and I didn't…

I found an app: Eat This Much

@UncleMac glad you are getting the recognition you deserve. Health encompasses many facets of our lives including our interpersonal relations. WTG!

I love my tried and true treadmill. It has I-fit; built in TV; and apps. I can walk/jog the Wall of China and/or race against other people. I bought it on Craig's List for a very good price. The only way I'd improve on it is to have a decline setting; and maybe a better sound system and enhanced system software.

Hooray for new old jeans!

Try the new UnderArmour Gemini 2 sneakers; they sell them at Sports Authority online and the sneakers sync with MapMyFitness. It will measures steps stride etc.

Outrageous NSVs !!! Congratulations to all of you!

That's amazing. I press 30 pounds for one set of 15! How long did it take you to get to 450 pounds?

I haven't started the book yet, but I used to be careful to make sure the seam of the shirt hit my shoulder instead of hanging over the shoulder. And I found sweaters hit at my hip, not my waist - bc I am tall - looked better. I was real careful to make sure skirts and pants didn't cup my rear. I never wore jeans. Now I…

Thank again! I ordered it the same day. Looks like it is exactly what I need to create balance while dressing in layers.

I'm at 172 now. The size 14s no longer fit. I milked that size for all it was worth and am now wearing a size 10. I completely skipped over size 12. I did shrink 1/2 an inch in height. Still waiting on a doctor's appointment - so I can get a referral to a chiropractor.

The operative word here is "bags" - plural - more than one! You rock!

Thanks RodaRose! Will need unmentionables soon. Someone on this thread explained that as we age, gravity takes over and the shape changes. I am just not sure how much I want to spend. I'm kind of waiting until I absolutely have to buy something new, but I am definitely a smaller cup size. I am seeing clothes in a whole new…

Had to laugh! Product of the same education and upbringing.

Great link!

@RodaRose The suits I saw at Macy's weren't all that fabulous. I did see a beautiful jacket but it wasn't lined - I didn't get it. I did find one Kasper suit and a pair of dress slacks. Moreover, I found some really beautiful tops. My biggest surprise is that I am now a size 10 - completely bypassing a size 12! I don't…

Monstrous!

Thanks @MzManiak I hear what your saying about inner talk - I have to get my workout in early or it won't happen. I have thought of adding a session in the eve - maybe not hit it so hard as I do in the morning, but I don't want to develop any lazy habits in the gym. I see so many people talking on the phone, or taking long…
