50 and over week of May 2 check in

Well, yesterday I ate 1194 calories and burned around 800 according to my polar- I did 90 minutes of hot yoga at the end of the day-- This morning- the scale was back up a pound...

So, I tried rythmic step but it is tooooo complicated so I switched to tonique for a total of 380 cals. I think I will substitute a step program that I can do enerytime she pujts one on the rotation- alhtough step jump and pump is different.

How's the face doing Joan? Still sore?

Did you get picked Magnolia?

Hi Jann and Cathy and Linda!
 
Good evening, Y'All!

YAY! :D I didn't get picked!!!!! The trial was going to last until about June 7, so the judge was kind enough to excuse anyone who couldn't commit to 8 hours a day, 4 days a week until then.

Linda, how are you? We miss you and you are in our thoughts.

Everyone have a pleasant evening.

Magnolia
 
Good evening,

Linda thinking of you.

Magnolia Yea no jury duty. You don't need that right now.

Jann You better be exercising.

I got 30 min of step in today. Face doesn't hurt but is really dry. Redness is way down. It seems like it should be more if it's going to have good results.

Beth I hear you on the scale. It doesn't seem to follow as quickly or exactly as we'd like. I've dieted and when the scale didn't move went back to eating and then scale went down of course it went back up. I think that scale is a week behind eating.

I confess I am drinking a cup of tea as I'm typing. I HAD to have my tea and sweetner. I'm still going to follow the rest of the diet.
 
Good morning girls!

Joan I am sorry to report I am not working out to DVD's but I am diffidently getting my daily dose of exercise. I've been doing spring planting, edging, weeding, mowing. I have planted over 80 annuals, some more roses, daylilies and today I plan to put down more mulch. I also have to replant some plants if I have the energy. My arms and fingers ache my back hurts and it all feeeeeels wonderful. :) We need a picture in your avatar girl!!

Beth -- [[[Beth]]] It seems that way for me also. The more I try the less the scale works. If I don't think about it the scale goes down or I stay the same.

Linda Prayers for you -- I hope all is well.

Magnolia yay, no jury duty. I have never been called. I agree the more you do Cathe's steps the easier they seem to work for ya!
 
Jann I tried putting picture in avatar but I must be completely inept. I agree gardening is more of a calorie burner than exercise.

I asked doctor why I seem to have more wrinkles than many my age and it is just my WHITE skin. I'm so fair and always burn. I use sunscreen now and when I was young I stayed out of the sun but it seems like the last day of school when they let you outside for most of the day I burned. I guess just burning once a year is enough.

I can see what I would look like with no wrinkles. Since my face is still swollen it has pushed wrinkles out. I wouldn't want to keep a swollen face though.
 
I just came in to grab some lunch and decided to check out the boards. I love spring!! I have roses blooming, phlox so pretty and now annuals blooming away. :D

Here's a quick how to create an avatar..
Be sure you are signed into the Cathe site.
Click on UserCP from the blue bar. It's the first button right under the picture of Cathe.
Under Settings and Option from the buttons on the left side of the screen.
Select edit avatar
Two ways to load your avatar -- One is if you have a head shot up loaded in flickr, photobucket something like that copy and paste the url into option 1.
Two - browse your own pc for a picture. The trick here is it has to be 80x80 pixels. You can either size it down with paint (remember paint ;)) or any other picture editing software. Save Changes.
If you would like you could email me the picture and I can down size if for you -- I've done that for a couple of other gals.
 
Good evening, everyone.

Well, I was about 15 minutes into Core First, when DS called with more news. DIL's mother & DS are trying to get her admitted into a well-known national program that has a huge success rate for cancer cures. One of the locations told her that they can cure the cancer, but they have a six-month to one-year waiting list to get in! As it stands now, the military's health insurance is negotiating with the company to try to get DIL into the program. We're still looking for possible alternatives, but we're hoping that the negotiations work out in DIL's favor. Please pray for us.

Since I am a stress eater, it's lucky that I haven't been to the grocery store this week. I would have really blown it! It was bad enough that I had a burger and a salad for dinner, but I guess it could have been worse. Anyway, tomorrow is another day!

Please stay well, my friends.

Magnolia
 
Good morning -- Well I burned 3500+ calories yesterday!! :D Steps were very high but I think that's more about using my arms so much. My neighbor gave me 10 cuttings from her garden so I had to plant them. :D Today will be cleaning the house and finish planting the few things I didn't get to yesterday and putting out my garden gnomes and hanging planters. The weather is to wonderful to stop.
I promise tomorrow I will do a workout DVD. :eek:

Magnolia I can't image what you are going through. Prayers for you and your family. Hearing there is a cure and not being able to truly find out must be heart breaking. {{{Magnolia}}}
 
Hi Everyone!

Oh Jann- you are giving me spring fever!!! I had to work all day inside:(
I managed to do all but the last day of Cathe may rotation- which means I shoud have done pyramid llower body today- but we are goingout with friends so I don't think I will- I will switch around the rest day.

Weight is still not moving--- calories yesterday 853.

Should I have wine or not? I think not, but I may change my mind.

Magnolia- you are all in my prayers- something will give, I am just sure- Why such a long wait? Are there other hospitals that do the same thing?

Joan- I am sure you don't have as many wrinkles as you think- and you'll have even less when this is over!!!
 
woo hoo!! did tracie's core cardio today. i am such a geek, i always do "walk the plank" twice. it is so much fun.:) bbl
 
Good evening,

Yes I really do have that many wrinkles along the smile lines on the cheeks. But I don't want to stop smiling. Crows feet don't bother me because glasses hide them and only two lines on forehead that have stopped since getting sunglass attachments for glasses. It really doesn't bother me but I want to work for at least another 10 years and don't want clients to think I'm too old. No I won't be too old but you know how some people think.

Magnolia You and dil have been in prayers everyday and will continue.

It has been so nice here and would like to go outside but not allowed yet.

I have averaged 1069 calories eaten for the six days. I haven't added up today's yet. It's still amazes me that I'm not hungry.
 
Good evening, All.

Joan, if you're not hungry, go with the flow.

Beth, I think the reason the wait for this place is so long is that they have a very high success rate and they advertise nationally, especially on television. One lady from one of their facilities told DH that they are swamped. I just didn't know whether I should mention any names. There must be a real epidemic of cancer in this country. Scary, isn't it? Anyway, military insurance is negotiating with them, so maybe it will work out. If not, I already found a doctor in Houston, and am looking at some more who are also having high success rates, and there are a few other alternatives we are getting lined up.

I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue.

I had planned to attempt Cardio & Weights today, but DH had the day off, and a counselor of mine had an 11 am appointment open, so no workout. And tomorrow, more First Communions (but only one mass.)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Magnolia
 
ok, just now made it back, but i am zonked, so i'm goin gto bed. hope i will have some time to catch up tomorrow.
 
Joan -- I just heard on a TV program yesterday that it is true especially for women that looks matter in the job place. Overweight and or older women tend to make less money even though they are as qualified and do the same work. :(

As promised on my way to do a workout -- it's raining out side ;) BBL to let you know what I do.
 
I am back. I did Burn Circuit 1 of the CLX followed by 2 miles on the treadmill. woohoo.
The weather may get crazy today. Winds gusts up to 50mph... :confused:
 
Good afternoon,

One week on diet and I have lost 5lbs. Yea!!! Even going out to eat I only ate 1021 calories for the day. I'm almost afraid to add wo in case I eat like crazy. But I am going to try. I just don't have a plan and no ambition right now.

Weather here has really changed from 80 to 40. I think high will be in 60's today.

Joan
