WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2013

barbiecat

:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Welcome to a most supportive and encouraging community of women. The title says women ages 50+ but all women are welcome.

:flowerforyou: This is a thread that has been continued each month for many years. Some of us have been posting for a long time, others are newer, and new members are welcome at any time. All you have to do to become a member of our community is to post and then you’ll find this thread listed under “My Topics” so you can keep coming back.

:flowerforyou: Many of us create goals and resolutions for each month…sometimes new ones and sometimes the same ones over and over…..some are about weight loss and others are about behaviors and attitudes.

:flowerforyou: How did you do with your goals and resolutions for May?

:flowerforyou: What goals or resolutions have you planned for June?

:flowerforyou: I read this thread every day and look forward to being connected to all of you.....many of us sign our posts with a personal name and a geographical location :bigsmile:


Barbie from NW Washington


Resolutions for May (with end of the month comments)
*walk at least 18,000 steps a day----23,000 steps a day average (did better than this)
* putter in the yard 5 days a week, 15-60 minutes each day (got a lot done in the yard)
*cook with tofu once a week (three weeks out of four)
*be agreeable----say “OK” (this should be an ongoing resolution for me…..I do better all the time, but frequently miss the mark and revert to my old self-centered ways)

June Resolutions
*dig out the rest of the back yard flower bed that’s full of rocks and terrible dirt
*be agreeable---say “OK”
*strength training once a week
*act the way I want to feel

I'll jump into June with you, Barbie. Thanks for starting up my favorite thread again.

Here are my May goals / results:

Weight Sessions: Goal - 10 per month Actual - 6

Weight Lifted: Goal - 2,000,000 lbs for the year = 833,333 lbs YTD Actual - 147,645 lbs in May = 915,380 lbs YTD

Cardio Sessions: Goal - 15 Actual - 12

Cardio Minutes: Goal - 10 hours Actual - 9.6 hours

Didn't meet my May goals specifically, but April had me ahead of the game activity-wise, so I am still on target. June will be more of the same, yet I will have to fight to keep work from diverting me between now and mid-October.

Time to head to bed.... Long week! AND I need to get out of vacation mode mentally.

:flowerforyou: Hello everyone!
I am new to this thread and this site. I look forward to asking you all for help in my quest to lose weight. I am diabetic (type 2) along with suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This makes it difficult for me to follow a traditional diabetic diet. Right now I am starting from scratch and am eating basically a bland diet and adding a food daily to see how my intestines react to the food. I suffer from severe diarrhea otherwise.
A friend of mine who you may know recommended this site to me. She goes by the name of chicletgirl. I am hoping she will be writing on her soon too.
I look forward to receiving any advice and food/recipe suggestions.

Hello all, I am new to this thread but I look forward to supporting and getting support from such a wonderful group of women!
I have been busy with a 90 day challenge that officially ends tomorrow with weigh in and measurements. I must say that having a challenge group that I could access on mfp and facebook was really motivational.
I have been attempting to complete 30 day shred, unfortunately I get bored with it after 2 or 3 days so that is my goal for June, to finally complete the 30 day shred! I also have a walking goal for June, I want to power walk a minimum of a mile a day. Just coming off of a strained hamstring so just got back to walking today. I have bad knees and a long way to go, but I know with support this journey is achievable!

Have a good night everyone!

Hi,

This is my first time finding you. I would like to set goals for June. I am definitely over 50 and I have a long way to go to lose the better part of me.

In June I want to walk at least 60 minutes a day.
I want to do Zumba 3 times a week. Right now iot is sporatic at best.
I want to work in my yard 20 minutes a day weather permitting and on inclement days, begin purging the garage.
I want to make it a priority to always have grilled chicken available.
I want to meditate each night on what I have to be thankful for.
I want to be positive.
I want to be productive in my projects.

Accomplishing this in June will be amazing.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Barbie: Thank you for getting us started on a new month.

I am a very private person and it is a tribute to all of you friends that I share my monthly goals on this forum. :flowerforyou:

Goals for May:
Increase water intake to 80 oz per day. *** Done!
Track my weight training. *** Done!
Get a double-digit weight loss on my MFP ticker ….Missed it by a smidge :grumble:
Wear a pedometer even on the days I work out. … tried, but lost not one, but TWO pedometers in a period of 2 weeks. :sad:
Read all the magazines that are piling up *** Piles are gone, hopefully not to return
Wear lots more sunscreen, especially in Hawaii.*** Done!

June will be challenging. I have trips to Omaha, Boise, Kansas City and Madison. I usually manage to get in exercise, but the business meals in restaurants are regime busters. Here are the goals:

80 oz of water per day
3-5 servings of vegetables daily
Log every day, even on the road
Drop 2 pounds
Nourish my mind and my faith with daily positive affirmations

l'll close tonight with my favorite quote about goals:

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

Here's to a great June for us all. :happy: :happy: Stay well.

Hello Ladies,
