    Restarting everything at 51

    Hello, Brigitte! Thank you for your reply and your SUPER encouragement. I expect at 51, I won’t be doing P90X anymore. I did that YEARS (and 30 pounds) ago! I’ve attached a picture of me on my horse. Her name is Adeleine. Cheers!

    Restarting everything at 51

    Hello, everybody! My screen name is Levi and I’m a long-ago Cathe fan and an long-ago frequent participant in the forums. I was a faithful, kick-butt worker-outer, 6 workouts a week, at least 60-70 minutes every day. At one point, I even completed the original P90X series! I quit the forums...

    Lung cancer

    Hi! Just this September, I celebrated my 10-years cancer free from Stage III breast cancer. I stopped working out regularly in 2011 and have really been struggling trying to get back into it. I've become so weak that I could just cry thinking about how much fitness I have lost. Good for you for...

    Was it your thyroid or was it wishful thinking

    So it really works then. What changes did you experience after you started taking the meds?

    She just did the TSH one. What was the outcome of your tests?

    Was it your thyroid or was it wishful thinking

    My dog is getting old. The vet tested her thyroid and found it on the hypothyroid side, but still within normal limits. Vet gave dog small dose thyroid med because research was showing sometimes old dogs do better with a bit of thyroid boost, even the ones on the low side of normal. I said...

    New workout shoes

    Good news: Found of Pair of Asics that I think will do the trick :) Bad news: Doctor says no workouts involving lower body - squats and lunges definitely OUT :( and of course, no impact. Biking is OK.

    Birchbox?

    I tried that one. The snacks were yummy but I agree, they were a bit pricey. Easier to go to Whole Foods and get some quirky snacks. :)

    Birchbox?

    I tried it for awhile but they kept sending things I would never wear. I remember a bright purple lipstick in particular. I once asked for specific perfume sample but was told no. I eventually just cancelled.

    New workout shoes

    And you feel like they support your feet in front? Zappos is great. In fact I just ordered four pairs not twenty minutes ago! ;)

    New workout shoes

    Thanks for the tip! Cathe probably can use running shoes and get away with it. With the kind of flippers I'm sporting, I wouldn't trust a running shoe to support all 175 pounds of me! I used zappo's a lot just to find shoes to walk in post-surgery. It was a bit embarrassing to be dropping off...

    New workout shoes

    Thank you for the reply. After my surgery I bought new balance orthopedic walkers, the less 'old lady' looking ones. They were comfy if a bit too casual for work, but then I didn't have much of a choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New workout shoes

    Hello, everyone - I haven't posted here regularly in about four years. I haven't purchased new workout shoes in about 5 or 6 years and in fact have not exercised regularly since about 2011. I'm making tentative steps (literally) towards returning to exercise and I am in need of a new pair of...
