Good morning, Ladies! Just returned from a quick trip to visit my daughter over the weekend. Too much car time, not enough exercise time. Not to mention, too much good FOOD! Had fun with the girls and dogs, though. Miss the busyness of it all. Made the 300 mile trip through snow and wind with no problem...until I put the…

@bethlauren8‌, yes, way more upstate...like south of Buffalo in the Alleghany Mountain foothills. And I am from Canada! @marekdds, my husband's family is "down country, Alabama", outside Union Springs towards Auburn. Small world.

Upstate NY. We have more deer and cows than we do people :-)

Hahaha...yup, we have a gas station closer :-) Two actually. One in each small town on the way to the "city" (which has ONE regular grocery store, one WalMart-not a superstore-and several small Dollar General/Mini-Mart type)

kheinl, I used to drive a weekly commute of 300 miles and thought nothing of it. (Was terrible for my weight and activity but that's another story) Now, I have a hard time trying to get up the energy to make a trip to the grocery store...hahaha! BTW, our grocery store is about 20 miles away, just "down the road".

Good idea...would love to see some!

A doctor told me that as we age, it takes longer to return from an injury. (Big surprise!) But what was kind of surprising is that any break in exercise, spending the weekend on the couch eating bon-bons, for instance, will translate into 6 days before the previous level of fitness is returned. In other words, 3 days…

@bethlauren8, I was doing some stretches after working out this week-end and, for the heck of it, tried to do a sit-up. It worked! I was so surprised! The last time I laid on the floor contemplating how I was going to get up ( a long time ago!), there was absolutely no way I could even attempt to get my shoulders off the…

Confession time....*sigh* Yesterday started out with a nice workout and feeling pretty good. Then the normal workday stress kicked in and I found by the end of the day I had done a total "mindless eating" binge of devouring an entire box of Cheez-It Grooves. Yikes!! I knew it was happening and yet felt powerless to stop…

Hi, all. Thought I should give a little bit about my journey so far. My first goal was handed to me by my son for Christmas...a Vivofit so I could swim with a purpose. It had NOT been on my wish list. :wink: I promised myself I would try to meet the "Steps" goal every day. Since then, I have missed the mark a few times,…

Thank you, bethlauren8. I will have to do a 30 Day "Build Some Strength" Challenge just to be able to start the 30 Day Strength Challenge!! Maybe 2 reps??? marekdds, is the book you recommended online? I'd like to check it out....especially if it is geared toward those of us who are no longer teenagers.
