50 and over Month of May

{{{{{Magnolia}}}}} I am so sorry. Rest is so difficult when you really are antsy to keep moving.

I planted flowers yesterday until I couldn't stand up straight. :eek::eek: My back is so sore as is my shoulders and even my fingers. Good thing today is a rest day. ;) Taking Reggie to Bark in the Park, then watching Granddaughter while DS and DIL go to a wedding. Full day!
 
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY.

My ds made us lunch . It was very nice and then they came over to my house to swim.

Yesterday was yardwork for me too. Still haven't got everything planted but I am getting there.

Happy belated mothers day everyone! I have been a bad check in buddy. My life is in turmoil at the moment and I can't wrap my head around any kind if consistency. I did start doing STS again because it it so organized, but I think looking back, that I have said that a few times too. Well see where it goes!

Glad to see Joan back at it!
Jann, I think the gardening should be enough !
Magnolia, I'm so sorry you are having trouble with the pain again!
Hi Kim and Cathy !
 
Good morning,

Tried to post last night but couldn't. I did get 2 miles on treadmill yesterday.

Beth If you find the answer to consistency let us know.

Luke has an ear infection so I will probably have to babysit later.

Hi, Y'All!

So glad to hear from you, Beth! I am sorry for whatever your challenges are. I hope that things even out for you very soon.

I am still on the couch here. I get up and do as much as I am able, because I do hate couch potato-ism. But I have to sit here several times a day--right now I am icing my neck. I had an adjustment yesterday, and I think things might be turning a corner with this. I am better today. Got to go back on Friday. We'll see what happens.

Everyone please stay well!

I am feeling my age today!! I worked in the garden to day on my hands and knees -- omgosh! I am having a time getting straight -- :confused: This can not happen.

So many weeds. I wanted to wait to put mulch down until I finished planting, but these weeds are driving me nuts. Mulch is going down!
 
Hi, Y'All!

Sorry to have been absent. My neck is just about fine now, but my shoulders are killing me. I'm not sleeping very well, since I had to switch to a lower pillow. I'm a side sleeper and cannot get into a comfortable position without waking up in the middle of the night in pain. So now we are working on my shoulders. I am to have two more treatments from some machine he's using on my right shoulder before he lets me go. Then I am going back to my Classical Stretching workouts for arms, shoulders and posture. Hoping that will help.

Stay well.

Dropping by to say HI -- :)

My entire body is hurting. I have really been working in the yard. I went to a plant swap -- yes, I am crazy -- We all brought plants from our yards and swapped. I got even more plants to plant PLUS my summer bulbs came in the mail yesterday. (22) :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I have to get pictures. :)
 
Jann I've been in the yard all weekend also. Still have some flowers to plant. This time even I want to post pictures. I don't think my yard/gardens have ever looked better.

I just read an article that said most people in their 70's can't lift more than 10lbs. It's not THAT far away. I'll make sure you can lift more than that if you make sure I can.

DEAL!

Can't wait to see pictures!
 
Help!!

I don't know how to mention to dh that he has gained a lot of weight and needs to watch his breakfast and lunches. They did a health check at work and his bp was up. It usually is in the normal range. He thought it was just because he was at work but I think it was the weight gain. I've hinted but haven't come out and said: You're getting fat. How can I talk when I'm overweight. Except my blood pressure is great.

He took over the trainer when I started babysitting and is still going 3 time a week. I don't know why the trainer doesn't talk about his diet.

Dropping in to say HI! :D

Joan that is a tough question. If he is anything like my DH until someone else says something he dose not hear it. I am no help in this situation. :( Good luck.
 
Joan excellent idea!! Works for me!!

Calories burned with Gardening

yay -- done!
 
hi ladies

You guys CRACK ME UP!!! We must all think alike. Joan, the picture is a great idea. I just did that with one of my DS. It works for me as well. I need one bad picture to carry around with me.

I want to see yard pictures. It is always inspirational.

I just did Physique 57. That one is a killer-- boring but effective-- I probably should have done Turbo barre instead but this one was handy. Im still following the sts for upper body but my legs always do better with the barre type exercises.

I am all over the map with the diet though. I cannot seem to get control. Anyone else out there doing anything with your diet?

Magnolia- I know how hard it is to sleep when you ache. I hope you feel better soon!
 
Hi, Y'All!

Sorry to be absent so much. It seems that my pain goes back and forth between my neck and my shoulders. Also, I am under some stress getting ready for my mil's visit for her birthday next week. I had to go back to the chiropractor because while I was cleaning and trying to get things organized, I evidently lifted too much. Today, I had to have an adjustment and am going back Friday for another. I can't wait for this to be over! At least I am sleeping--I found Bayer PM.

Please stay well!
