  • Got 'voluntold' to work graves for 2 weeks to cover for another gal - 6pm to 6am....haven't had to work the 'yard' since '98. Doing ok with the sleep, having trouble figuring out where to log my food, but decided when I wake up, that's breakfast no matter what time the ol' clock says! I tend to graze when I'm bored, and on…
  • Being half a century plus is hard! Not like when were in our 30's for sure! I'm still working on what works for me....started with calories, but may have to change to macros.

  • Inflamed mine 2 weeks ago...still recovering. Finding stretching is helping...Also doing squats(no weights) holding onto something so my leg doesn't give out seems to be helping.

  • Very nice! I had my last child at 41 and was also in ignore mode! Have started, stopped, started, stopped and now started this ME journey once again!
