    Love it. I find myself writing, 'that would be great' often and yes, I do hear his voice.

    I've only been back a week and I've lost just a few pounds, but my pants are looser. It's a nice feeling for the waist not to be so tight.

    That's great, Curvy. Such positive reinforcement can help with the next steps. :smiley:

    Thank you, RodaRose. For the next several weeks, I'm going to focus on cleaning up my bad eating habits. Hopefully, this will improve my overall health AND my waist line. :)

    I know I mentioned this before, but as I get even better at it - it bears repeating. I have been doing a ton of squats and deadlifts at the gym. Now there is no hesitation, if I have to squat down and put away pots and pans in my kitchen or even organize them like I did yesterday.

    This morning I was vacuuming and I didn't give it a second thought about squatting down and plugging in the vacuum - under a table and in a pretty awkward spot - but it is most central to reach all places in the living room. (So not so awkward anymore

    I think that's very exciting and quite encouraging to all of us Ann!

    I have one.............I signed up with a new trainer for just a six week session. I need help working through some of these
    damn injuries and a program I can follow without continuing to damage my body......LOL.

    He wondered what my goals were because he could tell I didn't need to lose weight and he'd already noticed how strong
    I was. He said he's seen me working out and was surprised by the weights I was lifting. I'll take that NSV.

    Anyway, I start with him on May 11th............yippee!

    @AnnPT77 Fantastic! A victory anyway you look at it. Congratulations.
    @luluinca Hope you can get everything aligned and back on track. I suspect we will hear about your weight lifting medals in the future.
    You ladies are inspiring!

    @luluinca, that sounds like the perfect way to take an already-effective and successful program to a new level of accomplishment, especially in a context where there are some physical challenges: Go, you! I hope it works out great.

    And thanks, all, for your kind remarks about my post!

    Did something today haven't been able to do since a slip & fall body slam. A full squat into a sit into a full squat into a stand. Wait! There's more... repeated the sequence with a duck walk in the middle. I'm ecstatic. It's taken six months to regain that range of motion.

    For my next trick, watch me pull a crab walk out of my hat... a la Bullwinkle D. Moose. I'll keep the duck for now.

    Ah-mazing: Go, you!

    And I got a 'geriatric pack' from my co-workers at the rehab.

    I was hoping the Geriatric Pack wasn't from the grandkids too! They are very cute, BTW. (The kids!) Love those dimples.

    They're great kids. There's two more, my sons two, and two more in production due this summer.

    Level 60, that's so cute. And the group gift is hilarious.

    I saw a coyote one morning early on my walk so my husband bought me pepper spray for my B'Day and now
    he won't let me leave home without it.....LOL

    The "Level 60" is one of the best "cards" I've seen in a long time. Congratulations!
