    50 and over month of June check in

    I would love to rally right now. No ambition and just can't get started. I pinched a nerve in my back last night while babysitting. I was wiping up a spill on the kitchen floor and could barely get back up. I slept on an ice pack all night and it is a lot better but didn't think I could...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 6/10

    Good morning, Unless we drove to bike trails, there is no safe place to ride here. When we are in Portland to see ds, we are amazed at the difference for both bikes and pedestrians. Went to wipe up a spill on the kitchen floor and did something to my back. I could barely get back up. I...

    Hope the diet works Jann. I'm still going with the really slow diet. At least I can see with the fitbit and myfitnesspal why I'm not losing. Or when I should.

    I'm ready for another week but I hope this one has exercise in it. I finally got dh to get his blood pressure done at grocery store. He was telling me his BP was up because they took it at work. It was 149/97 today. Not horribly high but higher than it has ever been. Fortunately mine was...

    Magnolia I wish I could help you with the stress. You really need to get over all your aches and pains. I can't tell if I blew my dining out tonight or not. We went to a Japanese steakhouse. I have no idea what I ordered was called. It came in a stone bowl with white rice, veg , chicken...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 6/3

    Garance Hope you feel better soon. Remembering when I was at U of I makes me feel old. I was the only girl in one of my accounting classes. The professor would go down the rows and and ask everyone but me a question every day. I don't think he said one word to me the whole semester. I...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 6/3

    Deb I'm sorry for your loss. It's been dry here so I've had a lot of watering to do. Temperatures were so high in May and now they are more normal. It seems odd that it is cooler now than in May. Dh will be busy at work the next couple of months so I'm not sure we can get a vacation in...

    Yea a new month and a new start. I should lose my 1/2lb this week- average calories eaten is 1311 and average calories used is 1658. I don't know anyone who is less active than me. But I need to accept the lower loss rate and not get discouraged unless I'm willing to do more. My best...

    Magnolia, I have read that even people in their 90's benefit with lifting. Why if I know this don't I do more? Had a good holiday. It has been so hot here. I wish I had taken pictures before most of my clemantis finished blooming. Joan
