Aline Red Insoles?
Hello, My physical therapist is suggesting that I get insoles. She works with the Aline Insoles, and just gave me a brochure on the Aline Red Insoles that she sells. My new chiropractor is also recommending some kind of insoles. We haven't got beyond the "we'll talk about it soon" stage. I've looked at Aline. Lots of…

Week 9, Sept 6
I'm on hold. I saw my physical therapist yesterday. I was in a lot of pain -- all up and down my right leg (same one with my IT Band issue -- same one with the stress fracture, and same one with the blood clot). I was thinking it was a flare up of the IT Band. My dear PT Doc did some tests, and proved to herself that I…

Week 9 - Sept. 4
Deja vu. Week 5, Day 2. And I didn't make it through, again. Wonder if I ever will??? Today's program was 10/10/13/13/10/10/9//25 I did 10/10/13/13/10/10/9//23 I was so upset! Just two short, but I couldn't get them. But I did something new this time. After my 8th set, I did a ninth set, with 10 more standard pushups. And…

Labor Day Commitment
Have you made your Labor Day Commitment yet? Labor Day has always felt to me like more of a turning point than New Years. New Years Resolutions are made when the calendar date changes. Labor Day Commitments are made at the turn of the season. Weather is cooler, less humid. It's easier to get outside and MOVE. We rotate our…

Week 8 - Day 2 (8/29)
Kelsey: Yes, it's cool to see some definition forming! And there is nothing to feel ashamed of if you have to repeat days or weeks. (See below!!!) Kreuzen: No, your app problem sounds weird. I haven't had that problem, nor have I heard of it. Brunagota should be back soon! :) Today's program was 10/10/13/13/10/10/9//25 I…

Week 8 - Day 1 (8/27)
Hi, Guys! I decided to stick with Week 5, Day 1. I did the same as I did on Friday. No improvement, but, in a weird way, it feels like there was. I'm NOT feeling up to par today. And I did it! I ALMOST quit. But I was able to complete it. Hands wider apart, makes it harder, but no tingling in the upper back and neck. Yay!…

NSV at the Gym today!
I had a fun NSV today! (Non Scale Victory, for you newbies!) I went to the gym, and logged in. The woman behind the desk was not someone that I recognized. She looked at me, looked at her computer, looked puzzled, and looked at me again. Someone called out "Hello, Bonnie!" and her head snapped. "It IS you! I didn't…

Week 6 - Day 3 (Aug. 18) (A day or two late???)
Week 6 - Day 3 (Aug. 18) (A day or two late???) The date system is confusing me!!! :) But I'm an airhead, anyway … :) Brunagota: I hope your break isn't too bad, and isn't hurting. I'm glad that all you did was break your foot, and not hit your head. (Presuming!) I'm very disappointed in myself today. 58 years old. Initial…

Week 6 - Day 1 (Aug. 13)
Hey, Brunagota, missing you today! :) Hope all is well. Decided to do mine early today: If I wait until things quiet down today, I might not get them done. Exciting day today. Twice a year my daughter and Wayne's daughter get together with us and the four grandkids. Today is one of those days! It is our annual excursion to…

Week 3 - Friday 7/27/12
I'm surprised that no one started this thread yet. Is this group defunct??? I'm hoping not! I didn't get to do my pushups yesterday. Instead, I spent about 4 hours sweeping out a basement, and then mopping it (with a heavy, old-fashioned, string mop!) I did manage to burn over 900 calories! :) I am tired. I only drank 8…

Week 4 - Monday 7/30/12
Hi, I did pushups this morning, but didn't do well. Found I didn't feel well all day, in fact. I'll post my details later, but I'm putting this topic up so that y'all can post your results.

27th July weigh. ONLY LOG HERE PLEASE :)
This week was another loooong week. My daughter is getting settled into her new home (mine!), and her old place is almost emptied, and the cleaning has begun! By next week, the keys to the old apartment will be returned, and we will be in more of a routine. I was sooo delighted that she told me yesterday that she wants to…

Week 2, Friday 7/20/12
My daughter and her family moved on Saturday (into my home). I helped. (27 calories short of 2,000 … but just too tired to try to find something to burn those last few.) I was hoping that yesterday I would be able to start to make up for the day I missed. Boy, was THAT overly ambitious! I was a zombie all day yesterday.…

20th July weigh. ONLY LOG HERE PLEASE :)
I think Nicola was the group leader that said she was going on vacation. Since I'm ready, I'll start us off this week. I hope everyone is still challenging themselves and pushing to be the best they can be! It looks like next week is the end of this challenge. Today might be a good time to review your pledges. Hopefully…

13 weeks left! Let's go! (Reviewing and revising goals?)
How's everyone doing? It appears that our group size has diminished. When I joined this group, I knew 30 pounds was a long shot, but wanted to try anyway. After 4 weeks, and a loss of 1.8 pounds, I have come to the realization that, with the recent changes in my life, there is no way that I'll be able to lose the 30…

NSV!!!
I had an exciting NSV today! (Non-scale victory) I had a knee injury with some complications, including a blood clot. Walking hurt, so I developed a nasty limp, which was making muscles and tendons pull wrong, which made it hurt more. Finally I was sent to physical therapy to learn how to walk properly, and to strengthen…
