WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2022

Anniesquats100

Got my 250 calories of exercise done! That's four times I've been through this yoga video and still can't remember to look for my yoga block. I think it's down there somewhere!

I did six minutes on the elliptical with a two minute break in the middle. It still tweaks my knee a bit after three minutes, but it goes right away when I stop. And I did some marching and walking to make 250 calories.

And then I ate a little bit of candy after the doctor and don't have enough calories for my salad. I'm still only four calories over, so close enough.

I'm getting used to this regime! I'm getting eager to weigh myself again!

Worked, went to Aldi. Newcomer bowling tonight.

Did the at-home sleep study, showed I do have sleep apnea. Now the MD wants a sleep titration test. Why, I’m not sure. So I’m scheduled to do it this Friday. Barbie – I’ve downloaded “Better than Before” to read there. Usually I don’t read before bed, but they want me to bring a tablet

Evelyn - I find this having to make an appointment for anything to be a pain. So far the only thing I have to make an appointment for is to go to ceramics. There was an article a while ago in the paper where the guy at the Y said that people liked the appointment. Give me a break! It’s easier for him. I find it a pain, if I find a little time to get in a workout, I can’t because I didn’t make an appointment. Fortunately, that’s not the way it is at the gym I go to.

Melissa – welcome! How does the Texas/Colorado work out? Texas in Winter and Colorado in Summer?

Well, according to Puxatawney Phil, looks like we’re in for 6 more weeks of winter. I am sooooo ready for winter to be over. Let’s hope he’s wrong

katla – hope your appointment goes well

Green Room tomorrow so I won’t get to the gym

Allie – good luck for your biopsy

Someone was asking for pics of my monkey feet. The first white w/green trim are what I’ve been using. I did two marathons in those. As you can see i have holes in them and have worn out the tread. The second tan and red ones are the same thing. I can’t run long distance in those anymore. The all black ones are my new ones. Walked 8 miles in those today, they feel great.

Nooice Pip! My son wore those all thru high school. With his hairy legs, he looked kinda like a Hobbit.💖👍. Not saying you look like a Hobbit though, just on him...😂🙃. You're the bomb!

Yoga today was just right. I had good exercise and felt good.

I learned that one of our younger yoga friends has caught Covid. 🙁 I hope she takes care of herself. I don’t know how serious it is at this point. Sending prayers for a good outcome for her. ❤️

Hello! Thank you for the welcome! We have a ski place so kind of the opposite, in Telluride in the winter. But as I type this, I’m in Houston- hahaha! Truly try to be in Colorado as much as possible but life does get in the way.

I lost steam partways through January, so my smashing start sort of fizzled a bit, but I recovered a bit at the end of January and into these first two days of February.

In March I have a vacation planned to Puerto Rico. I have never been. I'm really looking forward to it because it is a new place, but also warm, also not here.

Trying to remind myself that the effort with the and other activity is so that I can better enjoy my holiday. I'm not trying for a beach bod, but I do want to kayak in the bay one night to see the bioluminescence. That is the near future thing that I'm using to help me stay on task.

The workouts do help with shaking off some of the work stress. I knew this before, and I'm not sure why I didn't use that knowledge before now.

Thanks for offering this channel for support. The chance to read and hear others striving is helpful for not losing interest in this goal.

Stay strong all,
-Anna from snowy Ann Arbor.

Pip - Our son has also been a fan of monkey feet- they do a great job. ⭐️⭐️

Melissa - Welcome! I grew up in East Texas and spent five years in Colorado all told. Did covid put a crimp in your travels back and forth?

Beth - Congrats on the lost pounds! You've made it through some rough times, my dear. I talked to my sis about her experience with it and will be happy to DM you if you're interested.

Rebecca - You're in my heart--I've been in that place where you're waiting on an order that you don't really want to see arrive, but you know it's inevitable. You are such a strong mama, and I've watched your journey from strength to strength with intermittent fasting with much respect.

Katla - I hope you find the companion you're looking for, dear heart. I know it's been a long time since you lost your four-legged friend and that you've dearly missed him.

Annie - I've been watching your exercise time progression, and I'm so pleased to see your upbeat posts each day.

Allie - I'm glad they're taking it seriously. Hope it all goes well.

Margaret - Your comment on how doctors are focusing on the gut now is right on. Unfortunately, I have paradoxical reactions to almost every over-the-counter thing that's supposed to help.

Anna from Ann Arbor - Glad to have you here, and hope you find the support you need with us...

Quiet day today, filled with the chores I've actually missed doing. Energy levels stayed up for a few hours instead of just a few minutes. Progress has been slow, but it does continue...

Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa

Newcomer to this thread as the headline caught my eye! Just looking to connect with other folks in my age range, lol. I lurk and tend to skim, but will always chime in when something resonates or there is something fun to share.

Wishing everyone a fantastic February!

Hi. I'm Ilana from KS. I was 20 lbs overweight for the last 3 years. That's a lot for a 5'0" woman! Finally got it off. It Just crept up 3 winters ago. Now that I'm over 50, (I'll be 60 in July), it takes much more effort and consistency to get weight off. My goal is to keep it off forever. It's just so hard to lose again after gaining. I'd love to hear your stories. I know I'm not alone!

Katla – so sorry about your friend

Anna – I know you’ll enjoy PR. When are you going?

Kae and Ilama – welcome! You’ll find this a great thread with lots of support and great people.
