Karen, no more babies for me. Too old and too far past menopause. LOL Everyone enjoy their walks. The tornados that touched down in OK demolished 2 schools. I am praying that all of the kids and others in there get out safely. Jo, yes, I did get in zumba today. It got up to 90 today. Pat

Hello Everyone! Just watching the news and heard that Oklahoma got slammed by a tornado a bit earlier today. My prayers go out to everyone there! News is showing schools that were hit, seems the facility decided to keep the kids there as it wasn't time to get them home. No word yet as to whether the kids are ok or not. Jo ~ So glad your Winnie is getting better! I hope she is able to come home soon, that may help her improvement being around things that she knows. Pat ~ I saw where you had a nightmare and were pregnant! I am still laughing, that is something that would happen to me! I have been pregnant twice and was on birth control both times! Let's both keep our fingers crossed that we miss that nightmare in daylight! Mya ~ I hope you are sparking well! I see you on the 'friend feed' and know you are moving! Good for you! I saw where someone was headed to Myrtle Beach! I absolutely love it there, my son used to live there and I am in love with it. My brother went down for Bike Week, I haven't talk to him since he got back last night to see how it went. I know he was exhausted after the long ride on his bike. I hope you enjoy your time there and the weather is good! I have a hiking park near me, went on it YEARS ago and it was barely a path through the woods. I was told that it is much improved now so I have plans of checking it out this week. I hope the weather is good for me, it still can't decide if it wants to be spring or winter here. Have been having a lot of rain lately. I need to get walking now, looks like it might rain again so it my be on the treadmill! I've been doing the 28-day Boot Camp trying to change up my workout some. Lets hope it works.

Suze, sounds like a lot of work. Enjoy MB. I am leaving for MB the first week of June. Going with my husband and GS for one week. Too bad we are not going to be there the same week. Jo, my daughter had a ball in Niagara Falls. After the first night, we were able to move her to a nicer hotel. On her way home, she stopped in Buffalo for some real authentic buffalo wings. Yummy.

Hi everyone. I enjoy reading your posts. All is well with me. Busy weekend. We are building a cabin in some woods we have by our selves. It gets me up off of my behind so that is good. But, boy is it hard. I get a break next weekend and will go to the Atlantic and meet my daughter and her family (grandkids) in Myrtle Beach. Can't wait! Everyone have a good weight loss and exercise week.

Comebkgirl, you will be a come back girl. You can dust yourself off and get back to it. MN, how much fun is that cruise going to be? I have no doubt that you can get the 4 lbs off before the cruise. I wish I could fit in my wedding gown. Jo, my daughter is having the best time at the falls. It's just what she needed to refresh her batteries. Pat

I have been absent for a while.... shame on me!! A quick catch up of events. I was in the play A Flea in Her Ear.... during which I gained some weight and really felt it in my right knee. Also was so very very fatigued. The play was a success though and the cast was happy with our performances. Finally got myself to the doctor and there were 2 results A. My vitamin D level was so extremely low! It was low enough I thought my thyroid was out of whack - but it fine, now supplement with extra Vitamin D and make sure I am outside at least 15 minutes a day!! B. My right knee has very thin meniscus cartilage and when it bothers me I favor that knee making the left one hurt too. Right now I am being referred to another doctor and we will see if I am a candidate for gel injections for my knee. My 25th anniversary was in March!! We didnt do much to celebrate it then but we are going on an anniversary cruise in June. There will be 3 couples one with 35th anniversary, one with 30th anniversary and us with 25!! So I dont know what got in to me but I tried on my wedding dress -- IT STILL FITS!! It is a more filled in around the waist but the rest is perfect..... sooooo I am having my wedding dress remade/updated!! Changing the length, neckline and sleeves. After I get it back I will decide whether to dye it. It was cream colored so may leave it but have always been fond of a rose or lavender color too..... I need to get a new belt as the old one is too snug. (No way am I getting down to wedding day weight - I was VERY thin) So I am back to my spark buddies - back to tracking. I have been exercising more and I am going to lose at least 4 pounds before the cruise. Thanks in advance for all the help and encouragement!! Looking forward to the daily tracking of food and fun.

We have to wait until next weekend to get an extra day off. Enjoy your holiday. Jo, I had to cancel my daughter's reservation at the hotel in Niagara Falls after one night. It was a dump and the room was so uncomfortable. I had to see if we could cancel the next 2 nights and get my credit card reversed. They let me cancel and they moved down to another hotel, more money, but worth it. She just sent me a text with a picture of the falls lit up and was thanking me so much for the trip. Pat

It was good to hear from you Mya, good job on the walking!

Good Morning Ladybugs! Starting to find time to do lots of walking. My dog is gently pushing to walk more and enjoy each day. Suze glad you have shared yourself with us hoping you will return and share more with us. COMEBKGIRL thank you for adding your photo to your profile. Just adds knowing you a little better. What fun to read the party for your sister was a success. Glad you are already back walking and pushing yourself to have a goal for the week. Please do not be hard on yourself just continue moving forward and walking with a smile on your face and joy in your heart because you are beautiful. Deb take care of yourself as you take care of your husband. He needs you and you need to remember you are your 1st priority so that you are able to have the strength to care for him. Karen thank you for sharing your Happy Mother's Day with us. What a beautiful way for your daughter to say I love you. Pat you are appreciated for all your giving to support and benefit the team 55+ Females. You are amazing with your losing and being the generous grandmother to those darling boys. Jo hoping you are feeling better today. Please take care even though you are being challenged to be a good sister. Live today knowing God loves you and never leaves you. Everyone I love you all. It is never my intention to cause distress. So hoping these words from Psalms will be a blessing. Psalms 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Hi! Just taking a minute to say I hope everyone had a good day today. I slept quite late today after drinking coffee yesterday. I don't do well with caffeine which is why I just drink water most of the time. Today started the Spark Solution Challenge, I am doing that hoping to kick it up a bit. At least it may help to get me back in line to where I am doing more exercise. I've been good at my challenges but not my regular routine. Everyone sleep well and I'll check in tomorrow!

Happy late Mother's Day to one and all! I was out early today, I went to Richmond to my daughter's. She had sent me a text what time I needed to be there with orders not to be late. She took me to a Botanical Garden! They had a special thing for mommies, a luncheon and a live jazz band. So we walked and looked at all the flowers then had lunch while listening to the band. I was wonderful, the only thing missing was my son who had to work today so I'll see him later. I am burned up from sitting/walking in the sun all day! I hope all of you had a nice day and will see you tomorrow!

Jo, thanks for asking about the family. Donovan is getting ready to graduate from kindergarten in 3 weeks. They are learning a song for the occasion called Ist grade, 1st grade, sung to the tune of N.Y., N.Y. It sounds cute. Davis is developing a personality and loves to smile at grandma. On Friday I was watching the Chew and there was a segment about drying flowers in the microwave for a mother's day craft, so we made a card with dried flower decorations. Pretty cute. Pat

I'm Still here. The weather is nice finally! Have been getting in a lot of walking. Now just waiting for the weight to start melting off! Hubby had hernia surgery on Monday so we have been getting walking in together. Its funny when we go grocery shopping as I am the one who has to lift the heavy stuff. He can't lift anything heavier then a gallon of milk. Maybe this will help build up the muscles in my arms.haha! Tomorrow is my neices' graduation party,can't wait to see family. Jo hope you can kick your cold. Hope your sister is doing better. Pat nice to have some alone time. Mya the weather has finally got nice enough to get out and enjoy walking. We still have some windy days up here though. Karen hope you get your computer back on track again.

Well '54 Girls! I'm here, but i'm not able to read the thread, for some reason my computer has decided to shrink my SP! Its so small I can't read it and can't figure out to to make it big again. Where is the drink from the movie where that kid went down the rabbits hole??!! I wanted to let everyone know that I bought the Spark Book today and am ready to start my 2 week journey. Also got a new pedometer, its not a FitBit but it will track my steps and calories. I am going to sign off for now and try to figure whats up with this thing. Its killing me trying to read, hope my spelling is ok! Everyone take care and drink!
