60+ year old thread.

It could happen to anyone.

 

Good morning fellow old people!
So... been losing weight finally, after 20 years+ of gaining weight (I blame Baja's excellent food and beer).
My all time high was 235, but my typical weight has been around 225. Today, I am at 197... plugging away, slowly the past year. I think the sciatica pain helps a lot, ugh! When you're hurting, you're not hungry... at least that is the case for me.
At last week's Baja Bound* Christmas party, two guests said I looked thinner (at least in my face, as I still have a bit of a beer belly).
Merry Christmas Week, everyone!

HEY! Happy Anniversary @Pablo8 !

 

Looks great and you were busy in the kitchen.

Good morning. Going to be a semi busy day. Off to the gym early then our cat has a vet appointment at 11am.

 

Good morning! So I was thinking how much I enjoy Christmas morning...you know, that precious time of quiet before everyone else gets up? Get the cast iron pan warmed up for breakfast...while I'm enjoying the best cup of coffee ever. Breakfast on Christmas morning...do you have a go-to tradition? My favorites are eggs cooked any way, with sausage gravy over biscuits, bacon, grits, sliced tomato with mayo, a fresh orange or tangerine to finish.
How about you?

 

Good morning all.

 

Morning all:

I have a Christmas tradition of making plum pudding Jim, will be picking up suet and other fresh ingredients today to make them. Wouldn't be Christmas without a plumb pudding, besides that, I get to trade a buddy who likes them for delicious Christmas cookies that his wife makes!

 

Good Morning

Currently 25° clear blue skies , also heavy frost in the field behind my house . Haven't seen any Deer yet

 

Morning 60+
-1* chilly

 

Sounds like a great morning! I love a windex blue sky in the winter.

 

I miss Pa's Flint season.

Here it's the girls club showing up every night. All Does and Skippers.
Haven't seen a buck on any cameras since the 1st rut.

Have 2 in the freezer, but wouldn't mind another fat doe. They're all nocturnal though.

Every night...

 

So sorry to hear about your wife Dave. Prayers going out to you both.

 

Funny you mentioned flu Carl. Here I sit in the hospital with the flu and a touch of pneumonia . Wife have me take an ambulance ride Friday night and hopefully they will, let me out today. Covid tested negative. I just hope they get to what the issue with Dave's wife.

 

Welcome to the porch Christopher. You should fit right in with this crowd. Good folks here.

 

Ohhh, Happy Belated Anniversary to you and your wife Paul

 

Goodness! Sorry to hear. A touch of pneumonia is way too much of pneumonia. Prayers for a solid and speedy healing.

 

Get well quick @johneman - stockings to fill ya' know!
