Well, I could walk my fine ass out the door in my 20s or 30s, but in the 60s, there ain't no walking. My (younger) sister who has 100 pounds on me just had a knee replacement, due to the stress on her joints. And the big girls in my church choir are lining up their hip and knee replacements so they can continue to function, travel for music, etc. etc.
There's always a catch. I am 5-3 and weighed 108 when I was 29 after my second baby. Vacillating between 135 and 140 now. Someday when I retire, I can go to a gym and eat a healthy lunch.
I'm scared and mindful of mobility. I want to be grandma to those grand kids.

I've never been a fan of having a live dictated by a scale. Only resently a friend who is trying to get back into shape complained to me that although she was working out she wasn't loosing weight. I told her that muscles are heavier than fat and that as long as she was feeling fitter and more energetic and she even said her clothes were more loose she should treat the scale with the attention it deserves...NONE
My personal opinion is that it should be about how you feel not look. If you feel good and healthy and energetic and can go about your life...awesome! If you can do the things you want to do...if you feel your weight is holding you back from doing things you want to do i think you owe it to yourself and no one else to make a change. I've found "take care of your body so your soul will want to live in it" a beautiful sentiment.

The vocals in this performance are simply beyond belief. So pure and rich and smooth. Outlaws of Love is a true anthem. I wish he had a chance to sing it more. This performance; this opening . . . I was there; how could I have been so lucky? I was also in line in St. Agathe, on my birthday, with Q3 and many 'old timers' in 2010, when we heard Adam sound check something we'd never heard. Later, that evening, just before the heavens exploded tears of wonder and joy, we watched a broken heart and god given voice gently present us the gift of 'Outlaws of Love'. Still my favorite Adam concert ever. And the mega-moth fairy!

Please let us know how you liked the Short Films. I always overlook them somehow, but I am interested. Just got home from seeing the five nominated short films. Unlike last year, where there were a few humorous entries, this year's films are all pretty serious. Each one was interesting in its own way. They were from Canada (2), Ireland, Spain and the US. With the exception of one, they ll deal with children in some way. Last one in the group, "Skin," is the US entry and really has a impact. Titles are Skin, Madre, Marguerite, Detainment, and Fauve. I know these types of movies are not for everyone, but I always find them intriguing. BTW, Detainment is a dramatization of a true crime in Ireland in 1993. Thanks, girldrummer! I will keep these short films in mind. "Intriguing" sounds good.

He also started following her. ADAM LAMBERT @adamlambert Fan boying cuz I just met @lizzo !!!!! twitter.com/lizzo/|L I Z Z O| @lizzo America’s Next Bop Star 🍑 #BigGRRRLSmallWorld lizzo.lnk.to/JUICEIA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LizzoMelissa Jefferson (born April 27, 1988), better known by her stage name Lizzo, is an American rapper and singer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is a founding member of indie hip hop groups The Chalice, Grrrl Prty, The Clerb, Ellypseas, and Absynthe. Her debut album, Lizzobangers, was released in 2013. Two years later, Lizzobangers was followed by Big Grrrl Small World in 2015, which, only one year later, was followed with the 2016 major-label EP Coconut Oil. My son is a big fan. He named his bearded dragon after her Lizzo plays in music festivals and mid size concerts. In April she will be at The Warfield in San Francisco - same venue where Adam performed for two nights during his Glamnation Tour.
