Work has taken to giving me personality tests. Apparently, I am grumpy and I don't like people much. ( I did not need tests to tell me this.)
I have a half hour meeting with HR to discuss my results tomorrow.
I view introspection as a complete waste of time and energy. People encouraging it are likely to be fools or charlatans.
The meeting may be quite good fun.
I don’t know why but I’m LMAO at this 😂😂😂
Sorry - I hope you meant it with a bit of humour otherwise I’m just mean...lol. I had a rough day. This helped😊

Not sure how I have missed this thread before but it looks pretty perfect for me. I am 56 and have lost over 110lbs. Even though i am in maintenance now, I still track and log every day. Please feel free add me as a friend as long as you are active on here :-) Encouraging each other is so important as we all try to become fitter and healthier.3

I wish I could skate. It looks like so much fun! But I have zero coordination
I tried roller skating when I was younger and spent more time on the floor than anything 🤣
I probably could have gotten it had I lived close to a place where I could practice but the closest skating rink was quite a ways away....sigh...oh well 🤷🏻♀️[/quote]
It's never too late! I never skated much as a kid, but started playing ice hockey when I was 30. Started roller skating regularly when I turned 54. Skate at least twice a week now, either ice or roller. Looking to get some inline skates so I can do some outdoor skating.3 -
Over 50 and an Aussie (don't hold it against me) middle winter here and freezing however my journey is going well..

Hello,

he's right. i skate with lots of ladies and men who took skating up later in life. Tomorrow I will be going to teach a friend who started skating a few years ago at the tender age of 60-something. he's taken tests and passed them. We'll be working on his next one. he thinks i'm the secret to his success because all the ladies tell him i'm over qualified to teach his level but it's all him, he's a great learning and enthusiastic2 -

That’s so sweet that you help him out.
I guess I should have added in my initial comment that there is no where for me to practice really. The nearest skating rink is probably an hour away and the nearest ICE skating rink....I don’t even know....
It would be difficult for me to get good without practice. I just always thought it looked like so much fun.0 -

ya that's too much effort. My rink is 3 minutes away and i live in Canada so there's basically like 5 rinks in a 5 km radius. your name implies you do yoga so you'd actually be good at it since it involves a lot of core. Not everyone realizes this haha1 -
I love reading these posts. Great way to start my day with my cup o joe.3

Yeah I practice yoga. I do that more than any other form of exercise. But I wouldn’t really call myself a yogi. I decided to change my name awhile back because it was my REAL name and someone suggested that was a bad idea. yogidani is what my teacher friends called me because I was doing yoga with them after school. I thought it would be a good username. I do love yoga but I still consider myself a novice.
Yeah, I honestly think most actives and sports require a lot of core strength. And I think your right about the number of people that realize that. I just recently realized it myself...
And a strong core helps your back SO MUCH0 -

I had to explain to a lady I skate with that you have to engage your core. She was always flopping around. She asked how do you stay so solid...um core? It amazes me how many people have no body awareness0 -

Two questions:
1. What is barre?
2. How do you feel?0 -
Afternoon all.
I am moving desks this weekend. The new one is next to where people keep a giant store of doughnuts and sweets. Since I had Type II, but am now in remission, I will ask for it to be put somewhere else as the temptation may be too great,.3
