Where did you all go? I need you :) ! I, too, am a 60-something. I'm turning into jello from working home, sitting at a desk all day. Pre-COVID I had a Y routine. Not much, but I moved every day. I'm trying to get into a exercise rhythm at home that includes weights. I found Mrs. Earnestine Shepard INSPIRING! Thank you…

ECT all yeses. I went to Monday morning barre class preceded by an elliptical warmup. Rick, glad to hear your pain is abating. I have a similar issue that comes and goes, and it can be quite limiting. The barre instructor says regular core work is her advice.

@craigo3154 - Love the therapy cat! Much happiness for many years to come. Yes X 3

@SuziQ113 - You are wise! I think I'm going to work from home on Halloween and Valentine's in the future. Exercise - Yes! AM circuit Y class & late afternoon 2 mile brisk walk in the neighborhood, dodging cars, and left work early to do so. Calories - Maybe, counting the exercise. Tracking - Yes, but it was a stab in the…

There was this giant double chocolate muffin on my desk this morning! Just a little office love going around♥ I thought, well, why not? Then I looked up the calories - 689!!! Whew, that info was all I needed to say, thanks, but no thanks. The gifter looked a bit hurt and now I’m wishing I’d just hid it. Oh well, Happy…

Yes x 3 - laps 1200 meters - a slow meditative swim this morning, probably because I'm out of coffee! I, too, feel the joy of exercise but have periods when this or that hurts and must back off or switch it around. It's a balance, especially as we age, to keep moving without getting hurt, or to keep moving while injured.…

I am posting based on anticipated future behavior. I have dinner here at work and plan to eat it then go to straight to choir practice. Less change of messing that up! Traffic is better, too. Yes x 3 - Barre class this morning. It was more crowed than its ever been. Must be late new year "resolutioners" Your right Rick -…

Welcome newcomers! They even put up with a sinner like me :o . Well, I've missed some days but it's not so bad. Though I have failed to track I have exercised and eaten wisely, even with company and celebrating my 34th anniversary. However, the February Winner's Circle is already out of reach. As for today - yes x 3.…

@w8goal4life - I hope you have a wonderful trip. Safe travels!!!

2/7 Coffee from a pot with a big splash of skim milk in the morning, water or hot water with lemon the rest of the day. I avoid over-packaged anything, including coffee pods. E - yes - Morning walk in the snow! (big treat here in the south) Big flakes drifting down and instantly disappearing when it hit the blacktop. C -…

2/5/20 - Pass day for me.

Oh @RangerRickL - Work goals, home goals, family goals, financial goals, physical goals, spiritual and social goals and I could go on. You've opened up a can a worms! I try to narrow the focus to that which is truly important and meaningful in all these areas and work on maintaining a happy balance. Work tends to be the…

@RangerRickL. That's quite a hike!!! You and Rose must be in great shape! How fun to hike there. And how 'bout JLo and Shikira - wow, that was quite a show! I was quite impressed, not just with the show and talent but with the athleticism of both those women! Maybe I should take up pole dancing???? Well, they got there 20…

Yes x 3 -Beautiful 4.89 mile winter walk/hike, calories within the range despite the odd breakfast and tracked.
-
Hmm - I'm starting the new month eating leftover birthday cake and coffee for breakfast, a not-so-wise tradition in my family. However, this cake is a Spanish recipe made with almond flour, eggs, berries and sugar - all good things except that sugar! So, I'm going to make it work! Off for a hike! I will, hopefully, be on…

Jan 31 - Today was my sister's 75th birthday made somewhat bitter/sweet by the death of her husband of 52 years just 10 months ago. We had a party! I did have plans on how I was going to celebrate AND hit the goals but, alas, that did not happen. Champagne was involved.
-
Wow! 20 peps in the winner's circle!!! Congratulations!! Yes x 3 for me. Morning swim - at least 1600 meters.
-
Congrats to the winners!!! E - yes - Barre class this morning C - yes - Super day, eating wise - I brought all three meals to work and ate only what I had planned. Sound pathetic but I didn't go astray. I got there early and worked late then went to choir practice. AND I totally ignored the group kitchen brownies and…
-
No WC for me, but that week of skiing was worth it! I'm signed up for February. Maybe that's my chance. E - Yes - Swimming, and boy was it crowded! C - Yes - Under my range and I still hit all the nutrition goals. T - Yes - So easy when I do all my own cooking. @oldDogBiking - <3 the part about, "So for all of that…

Quite a sense of humor, your hospice friend! I am behind in my posting due to operational errors (forgot to click Post Relply the on the 23rd) and I'm just late posting this, the 24th. Yes x 3 - Y circuit class.

E - Yes - I slept in again!!! But I went to Y and lunch and swam half a mile. C - Yes - I have a new blender and have been trying new things. T - Yes - yep The Y classes all have music, (sometimes too loud!) and it's fun to workout to the beat. However, on my own I mostly go without. Sometimes all the extra stuff (phone,…

E - Yes - Barre class - Made it on time! C - Yes - again, meeting food but I am determined to make this work in the real world T - Yes - all of it

-
E - Nope! I over slept the alarm and then failed at the backup plans. :/ C - Spot on. T - Ditto. I've got the Y bag packed for tomorrow and the alarm set in the next room so I can't ignore it.

This is the view from high up in the Teton Mountain Range looking across the valley to yet another range on the other side. Hi, I'm back! I've been traveling here and there and lost track of tracking! Last week was ski week .. maybe my favorite week of the year. We went to Jackson Hole WY - majestically beautiful! I was…
-
Yes x 3. Today was barre class and a walk, plus some dedicated lower body muscle work. I am juggling my schedule to accommodate 15 - 20 minutes daily for strength training 6 days a week. They say it is SO important. I wish it were more fun! I would like to hear from others about their thoughts and routines for strength…
