Anyone playing Wordle?
I know it's not supposed to be too hard but I can't figure it out about a third of the time!!!

Do you foam roll?
As exercise or more as stretching? I'm just getting started!
-
My phone app disappeared and I almost didn't get it back!
Talk about touch and go! I have no idea why it disappeared either!!!!!

Wearable tech?
I'm not sure what to buy - I don't want a watch but I'm not sure the Oura Ring will give me the input I'm looking for. For spin class and intervals. Thanks

I'm seeing a nutritionist; what should I expect?
It's an hour long appointment. They didn't say to bring a food diary or anything ... any ideas what I should expect? Thanks.

That 6 months you spend building muscle? Takes 3 months to lose !!!
Yes. Read it and weep. Rest days are good but too much time off isn't. http://www.msn.com/en-us/health/fitness/how-long-does-it-really-take-to-get-out-of-shape/ar-CCvKp2?li=BBnbfcL&OCID=DELLDHP

I had the stomach virus and didn't lose any weight!
I barely ate - or drank - for about 5 days, and you'd think I would have lost tons of weight from being sick! When in reality, I'm maybe .1 of a lb less. SHAMEFUl !!!!

I'm seeing a nutritionist; what should I expect?
When the "Menopause 10" turned into the "Menopause 20", I decided to take action and made myself an appointment. It's an hour long appointment. They didn't say to bring a food diary or anything ... any ideas what I should expect? Thanks.

I'm seeing a nutritionist, what should I expect?
I hit a super high with my weight. I gained 10 lbs when I turned 50, and I told myself that I would not allow myself to gain more than 5 more lbs. Long story short, that Menopause 10 turned into the Menopause 20!!! I went online to figure out what nutrition a post menopausal lady needs, mostly as far as calcium and…

Cardio that isn't ... cardio?
I have sustained a ton of injuries since turning 50 and realize - with the gentle prodding of 4 different doctors - that I will not be able to continue exercising 6 days a week any longer. I have ripped ligaments in each ankle, and now on the bottom of my foot. The pain was excruciating. (I spent 8 weeks in a rocker boot…

No one talks about fat atrophy in the foot? Why?
No one talks about fat atrophy in the foot? Why? It seems as though mine has been coming on for years now, and at this point, I've been in constant pain for the past 5 months. The dr has me in padded orthotics, taking Advil before spin class, and icing my foot a couple of times a day. I've also used steroids for pain…

I am miserable with a Partial plantar tear!
It took 8 agonizing months and four doctors to figure out what was wrong with me. I'm now in a rocker boot and just miserable! Anyone?

Am trying a crème thingy now
Herbs didn't help menopause symptoms Ditto for acupuncture and hemp oil. My dr recommended patches then a HRT pill but both were $$$$ so I lost patience; I read about a bio identical cream so I got some from Amazon. Am hopeful !!!!!!!!

The gama-thing for hot flashes
Saw a new dr and she recommended a gama thing for hot flashes. that's not what it's orginal use was, though, it's a kidney thing I think. She was very keen on Prozac, though - has anyone tried either of these things?

Who's getting the Shingles vaccine?
The new and improved version is a series of 2 shots. I got the first one yesterday. Anyone?

the next cure, anti-histimes!
I read that anti-histamines block the production of hot flashes. I RAN for my bottle of Claritin!!!!

Who's excited for La Vuelta de Espana starting this weekend!
I don't know many of the riders but I guess I will soon! Anyone?

I had foot pain all summer!
At first I thought it was from wearing sandals, maybe without enough support, but even with orthotics in, my left foot hurts. I popped in a fluffy foot insert which seems to help some but not enough. I'm doing the Epsom salt baths and using a foot roller, is my only other alternative a cortisone shot? Thanks all.

So far, cannabis/hemp oil not helping ....
I think I spent eighty bucks on it too. It's only been 2 weeks but I thought I'd feel better after a week. ARGH
-
Supplement didn't help - does anyone want it?
I bought a bottle of the Phytoestrogen Complex from The Vitamin Shoppe. It had 60 tablets; after about 50 I realized it wasn't helping. I'd be happy to send the last 10 to someone if they'd like to try it. Since then I did acupuncture and cannabis/hemp oil but that's for another post I guess ....
-
Well, acupuncture didn't help!
Truth be told I only went once, but I should have felt some relief from symptoms. Instead, I think my hot flashes increased. Good times.

"Just" getting old ...
My symptoms were bothering me so I made an appointment with my internist; I needed my thyroid bloods done anyway. Since it took 6 weeks for him to have time for me, I started taking a supplement with the following: black cohosh for hot flashes, Soy for estrogen, wild yam extract for mood swings, and dong quai for…

"Cutting" versus "dieting"?
Why do we use the term "cut"? Why isn't the term "diet" sufficient? Thank you.

Who's looking forward to the huge influx of New Year's Resolutions people?
In about 2 weeks.

New year, new gear! Treat yourself to - what?
I got a couple of pairs of fun bike shorts. What is everyone getting?

I think I'm not bouncing back as quickly!
I turned 53 last week. It used to be that I'd get a cold, take a day off of work, and be well enough to go to work and do everything else I always did. It's not like that anymore ... Tuesday I had bad headaches, Wednesday aches, and Thursday I didn't train or go out and I'm not sure I'm going to be up to pushing myself on…
