I have been reading all the posts every morning and will do my best to come back later and catch up with y'all. I have tracked my habits all week and have done well and my step totals have been higher than my goals so all in all this has been a successful week for me. Thanks again for allowing me to be on your team and I hope to get to know everyone better soon.5 -

I actually thought I walked way more than I did but I guess I did a lot of boat rides and train rides. That's ok I had fun. I went for a 4 mile walk yesterday and 3 today. I already started eating healthy again. We will see what the scale says Thursday. Today I plan on cleaning the house and sitting next to the pool . A little relax time before I go back to work tomorrow, the only people I want bothering me are my grandchildren.4

I've been creatine-loading and working out twice per day all week (apart from Friday rest-day). My weight is consequently up around 6lbs from last Sunday, but it's purely from water retention and is fully expected with the creatine supplement. It should settle back down over the next week I think (hope?) and I'm actually feeling pretty good with the supplement. I'm mostly vegetarian so not getting creatine in my diet, hence the supplement.
Today hubby and I walked about 8km/4.97 miles along the coast, over the cliffs. I love that we're nearly in Spring here and the weather is good enough to go for our walks again! Depending on whether the tide is in or out, we either go along the beach/pipe-line walk, or over the cliffs, and sometimes climbing over large rocks if we go far enough. None of our kids came along today, but they often do. I am so thankful to have a body that is healthy enough that I can go out and exercise - I remember when these walks were difficult for me. Today, I burned almost 1000 calories but I was still able to walk up the final hill home!
Kristy, I've put the request in with the moderators to excuse you this week. While I was away, I saw a comment from you about creatine loading and wanted to know more about it. Can you recommend any reading to me or give me some insight. I wouldn't have thought it was for me. My son used to do it from time to time and is quite muscular ~ as in his biceps are bigger than my quads (pic below). Perhaps I shouldn't dismiss it outright based on this non-scientific study of one.
My son, Phil, is on the right and I am behind him in the blue t-shirt. This is a few years ago at my grandmother's 95th birthday. Since we're looking anyway, my daughter Elisabeth is the young woman with the braid and striped top. My sister is way over on the left and the other three young people are her children. Then there is my mother and grandmother (who passed away March 1st).

Hmm, strange because I'm on my 3rd day of TOM! 😲 I'll take it!! Also, I haven't eaten ALL day yet and I've already burned over 800 calories...It says I have around 2,500 under remaining calories. Hahaha! Annnd I'm about to burn more because my Sister is pretty much forcing me to go with her on a mile walk to these rental scooters we have everywhere around town then pay for 2 of those and ride them to her work which is pretty far! Then I'll have to come all the way home by myself...But she said she might not make me go all the way to her work with her...I don't know, ugh!3 -
@CassieGetsFit2013 rental scooters sound like fun!! Enjoy the day.3

@1theresamcvean Creatine supports muscle development, amongst other things. It is often used by bodybuilders for increased strength and size, but there is research showing it can be helpful in maintaining muscle mass in seniors, and is safe to use for just about anyone. Creatine is part of our diet through red meat and fish; excess creatine is not used by the body and is not harmful. Maximum saturation occurs for most people within 5 to 7 days of creatine loading - taking up to 30 grams per day.
I decided to take it as I am 99% vegetarian and won't be getting it through my diet. I also want to support my muscles now that I am lifting again, and I have a lot of problems with my right trapezius so I am effectively rehabbing it. I haven't taken creatine before but I have been able to put my weights up from last week.
There's good info on WebMD or Men's Health (typical of muscle building to be aimed at men!)3 -
