aleahurst - I'm in Missouri, close to the Kansas state line - Royals baseball country! SpiceyGorilla -- Keep moving forward. Your pain and challenges are real. Good luck to you. Have a great weekend everyone -- popping in and out during my lunch hour. Jean

Greetings from the center of the country -- 50 degrees and sunshine. Going to leave work soon and get an annual mammogram. Busy day, but good day. Hope this is a satisfying week for all. Jess mentioned the weekends being a challenge at times. I'm not sure what the correlation is, but I drink less water on the weekends.…

Found your 'like minded' post and bookmarked. Thank you. May 5, 2017 will be my year anniversary of living healthy - incorporating mind, spirit and body. I had focused on 2 out of 3 for a couple of decades, but throwing in the 'body' portion is a definite life changer. I entered a new decade and family doc told me what I…

Have a Snicker's bar -- teasing aside -- When you're committed it's difficult to hear non-committal statements -- but everyone's at a different place. I've been committed to exercise and diet since May. My only cheat day was a brownie for my September birthday. And I'll do that again this year. Congrats on your commitment.…

Some of the best ever advice I've received -- Love yourself enough that you can know this about the naysayers in your life -- They need me more than I need them. You're doing so well. Don't get derailed.

Any wonder why the world is in the mess it is? People can be heartless and mean. Especially if they hide behind a keyboard. Good news -- more good people than bad in the world. Give better than you get and you'll be alright. Have a great week. :)

Hello good people. Haven't checked in for a while. Covering maternity leave for a cohort at work, plus my work, and I'm hopping. Enjoyed reading your comments about progress and movement. I'm beginning to receive compliments -- losing at a rate of 2 lbs a month. However, I have a plan, more fit than I have been in quite a…

Tai Chi is balance & energy. Instructor looks so graceful and best guess -- we visited every joint in the body! Please try it if you get a chance. Even Intro DVD is good. Pleasant day to all. We've had interesting weather movements here in the Midwest. Tornadic activity that we usually find in late spring. Sirens sounded 3…

Love the accountability and generosity here. Kudos to each of you. :) Sending good energy your way and best of luck on your goals. I go to community gym 4x's a week with home workouts (row machine, stretch, walk or bike) 2x's a week. 1 rest day, however, I try to keep moving on that day, too. A recent goal of mine is to…

Hello to people who have decided to get back in the health and fitness arena. And to those in maintenance stage, you're inspiring us! I read today 60% of American adults over 60 are overweight. I just don't want to be on the wrong side of that stat! Best wishes extended to all of us. Participated in a Tai Chi class today…

griffin - thank you -- I'll read about composition. Have a good weekend. Jean

Hope everyone is doing well and we continue to intentionally move throughout our days. Recently changed my workout routine slightly, as doc said I most likely am experiencing DOMS - Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. I'm to use heat and not ice on affected muscle areas. Besides the pain -- the news is good -- our bodies are…

Hi Sky. I truly enjoy my labyrinth walks and I'm up for another. Maybe tomorrow on the way home from work.
-
Thank you, mamadon. Sky, I want to answer your question about labyrinth walking. There is a labyrinth near my home that is on the headquarters of a church. They are kind to welcome anyone from sunrise to sunset to walk the labyrinth. Wonderful grounds, lovely atmosphere. Total labyrinth distance is 2/3 mile. Of course you…

Hello good women. I've been fighting a severe sinus infection since Saturday, including earache, throat, headache, etc. Pesky sinuses. Good meds and good under care. I'm ready to work out tomorrow after 5 days away from gym. Lowered caloric intake while not working out. Agree with weight training plus cardio comments. I…

Hello blessed. Just doing my MFP inputs for the day. Agree with you on blessings and positive vibes. Can't say enough about good energy - there's a science and spirit behind it. Glad you get it! My status is retirement from education in 50s and now working part-time at a college. Hope to completely retire with husband (36…

Love the phrase, Strong Women Stay Young. Thank you - will adopt when my car wants to go home after work instead of the gym. Or, on non-gym days, I don't want to wake early enough to use the row machine. Have a lovely day, ladies. Keep moving!

Enjoyed reading your posts since I last visited this thread. Sounds like we're all finding our way and being committed to fitness and better health. My nephew teaches physical education and is also a sports athletic trainer. His mom turns 60 next year. Nephew advises his mom to eat smart, drink plenty of water, stretch,…

Happy Friday. Fridays and weekends mean something different to me now that I'm a retired educator and working part time. Sent out some friend requests to those active on board. Jules, I've been eating a lot of hearty vegetable soup. Lower in calories, tasty, but can be high in sodium. Home made seems healthier. I know what…

Kudos to all -- sounds like you have a plan, you're sticking with it and making progress. I don't eat meat -- my choice -- so I must be getting lazy and eating too many carbs. Will purpose to add fruit & vegetables & nuts. Again, congratulations on your progress. Have a beautiful week.

Hello good people. Sounds like we're all heading in the right direction. Down in the dumps a bit this weekend. Had to shake it off. Been working out faithfully and not going over my 1300/day caloric intake. I'm petite and that's about right for me. No weight loss after a couple of weeks, but I did add more weight training…

Hi Jewels. I remember reading attributes men find attractive in women, of any age, is confidence, a great smile and a sense of humor. Taking care of our minds, bodies and spirits should result in all of these. I still have weight to lose, but it's nice not to gasp for air when I take stairs, instead of elevator. I also…

Hello pedidival. I'm doing 1300 calories a day, according to MFP. I find I have to be creative -- if I'm going out to dinner that night, I may just eat an apple for lunch. How are you doing with your calorie limitations?

Smart lady! But something glorious happens when we're not looking -- we transform into healthier, happier people.
-
Yes -- it brightens up my day! :)

Hello good people. So agree. I'm sitting here at my desk, mildly aching all over because I changed up my exercise routine yesterday. It feels great just knowing good things are happening and I'm gaining results. Enjoy filling out exercise / food intakes during lunch. It gives me accountability for dinner intake. It's…

jewels - laughed out loud with your boho style comment. I like the idea of it, too, but it doesn't always wear well on petite ladies. I'm really enjoying the new active wear styles that are popular now.

Thank you, sodakat, for the 'refuse to regain' link. Interesting, and I will share with friends. So much wisdom there. I'm 61, post menopausal, retired educator, but working part time. I love the statement about exercise until you love it. I recently made a decision I'm not 'off work' once I leave the campus parking lot…

You rock, KJurassic -- What an accomplishment. Inspiring me to keep moving, keep hydrating and be mindful about food intake. My progress is slow - 61 yrs, post menopause and sedentary job. Love your 'new normal!'
