Where is everyone?
It's so quiet here !!!

Feeling a little blah - what's your go-to pick-me-up?
I spend so much time with doctors and physical therapy that I haven't been able to have fun during my lunch break, so I guess shopping is mine. What about you?

Has anyone learned to ride a bike as an adult?
I'm middle aged, do not want to fall down, and am looking at adult tricycles, recumbant bikes, and bikes with extra stability wheels. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you.

Why does everyone think naseau=pregnant?
I had a little bug in my system and everyone went beserk that naseau = morning sickness = pregnancy. Ha. I'm going to be 53 in the fall - really?

Who’s following the Tour de France?
I had a peek on my phone one night, so I maybe read it incorrectly, but the American team has not one American on it? And one team – the Belgians maybe - is named after cleaners? Something like Carpet fresh? I would be embarrassed to wear that on my jersey!!! Even Kazakstan has a team this year !!!

Need a narrow shoe for training but having difficulty finding such an animal!
The title says it all; my feet are swimming in regular trainers and running shoes, and I was suggested to try a narrow. The only problem is that narrow shoes are limited to running shoes on Zappos and are not cheap! Does anyone have a resource for me? Amazon and shoebuy.com are no help. Thank you !!!

Biking gloves at Spin class?
A girl wore biking gloves at the Spin class on Sunday. Is that... necessary ?

Yoga? Hey, why not?
At spin today - where I was dressed as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer mind you - I was grousing that I didn't think I was getting stronger at spin. The trainer suggested I add a yoga class or 2 to my roster - to which I said, why not?

Everyone is sick, right?
I don't know why the change of the seasons is so hard on health, but everyone I know is either sick, getting sick, or just getting better. Anyone else?

Are you less hungry as you get older?
I would say yes but when I exercise I am ravenous. I don't think the key to a diet is to give up exercise though.

There were no posts here in November at all!
Until this one !!

The oldest and working hard!
I won't say I work the hardest because it's not a competition. BUT I will boldly say that I am usually the oldest at my workout classes - and despite my recent ankle injury - I am killing it! So much so, that I sweat enough to have to wash my hair every workout. I didn't have that with barre or pilates, hehehe. Sweat isn't…

Life is short, buy the shoes !!!
You know that silly dictum that people say? So - I took it to heart. I got myself the purple cleats that I wanted for Spin class. I got them on Poshmark, so they were half price, but they still weren't cheap. I spin three times a week, and have done so for 5 years now. They have found an active loving home!

Friend's colonoscopy!
This friend is skin and bones, literally. She's painfully thin! Anyway, the cleanse for her first colonoscopy last year wasn't good, so her dr said she'd have to return the next year. It's the time, and she just told me that she has to fast FOR TWO DAYS to cleanse properly! Um, yuck! And in this heat? Better she should be…

Cystic acne is middle age. Yuck!
I guess I should be happy that I had clear skin most of my life. I'm going to see a dermatologist, not that I hold out much hope that she can help me without invasive medication .... Presumably it's hormones.

Help - mega sweater here !
I sweat so much during my workout, that even after I cool down, shower and wash my hair, that I'm still sweating and can't put on makeup. Help ! thank you.

PERSONAL BESTS AT SPIN TODAY!
Yes, despite my recent ankle injury, and well into my dotage, I scored 3 personal bests at spin today - I went hard and I went long! And I feel GOOD !

Have you ever trained someone "my age"?"
I take a lot of hard classes and I like to say I'm the oldest one there, which is true. I just wonder - if the instructors/trainers - have ever worked with someone "as old as I am". I'm sort of afraid to ask !!!!!

Why is this news?
If she weighed less, it would be harder for her to lose weight in such a short time. http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/how-rebel-wilson-lost-eight-pounds-in-four-days/ar-BBshEsV?form-prhptp=undefined&OCID=DELLDHP Of course it's easier and faster in the beginning! Why is this news?

Does Ground Hog Day really mean anything?
It's not fitness related per se, although if the cold winter is over, I'm happy; falling on ice and snow isn't fun, and it's easier to get out and around. Anyway, is the ground hog always right? Is the harsh winter over?

Looking forward to buying Menopause Underwear !
I have been wearing dark-crotched underwear for many years and now that I'm in my 50's, I'm thinking that would be something to look forward to - pretty undies in colors that aren't black or navy? Yes ?

is it Ok to be selfish?
A (70 year old) friend decided that she accomplished whatever she wanted to here, and left. I know that technology isn't easy for us so I don't blame her, what does she need it for? However, it's fun for me to be here and cheer you on, to hear about your parties and what you ate, and vacations and how you fit exercise it.…

Does "getting older" mean "talking about health problems" ?
Wherever I go, my contemporaries are talking about their aches and pains. Yes, I am in week 8 of my torn ligaments but I don't want to talk about that all the time, and I certainly don't want to hear other people talk about their arthritis and their other health problems ... or their spouse's health problems! Maybe if I…
