    50 and over November check in

    Wow it's only the third and I have the thread up.:) I think part of my exhaustion must have been because I was sick. Just felt bad but not exactly sure why. Luke was the same way. I was willing to sell him to the Indians as my mother used to say. But the last two days we have both been so...

    50 and over October check in

    Jann just wait. Elliot was on the treadmill -with me next to the stop button and dh at the end to catch her and she ran at 8.7 mph. We didn't let her do it for more than a minute but she had no problem continuing. Since dil's car was totaled I have been getting there at 7am and leaving at...

    50 and over October check in

    I'm still working out twice a week and getting treadmill in for 30 minutes. But I would like to get one or two more days of full body conditioning in. I ordered x train also. I usually get excited for at least a couple of weeks when I get a new toy to play with. Jann I'm glad I didn't...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 10/14

    My brother and his family are big on Romney. I think they hope to be rich someday. (They are the ones that I bought the airconditioner for because they are broke.) "To broaden the base" is the code word for making more poor and middle class pay. I would expect to eventually see no...

    Good morning ladies, Not much going on here. I work and work and sleep. I will be going to the football game tomorrow. I don't want to but dh loves it and won't go alone. I can't believe that CNN or democrats didn't exploit Romney saying he would eliminate taxes on interest, dividends...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/ 10/7/12

    I'm still alive but just. I can't get rid of this cold. Or sort of cold, drippy nose and headache and just feel soooooo tired. I haven't missed any day of 30 min on treadmill or the twice a week weights. I am still only at 65-70lb for bench press. I did lose 2 inches on waist in 6 weeks...

    50 and over October check in

    My cold has been lingering and I just haven't gotten much done but the bare minimum. In the 6 weeks of training I have only lost 4lb but 2 inches off the waist. I think I have slowly increased my calories over the 1600 a day and I need to go back to that number. Hope everyone is feeling...

    50 and over October check in

    I wish someone would tell me what day it is.:D Or at least what month it is. I didn't babysit Friday because I had such a cold. I think I'm getting over it. I actually started with it last Tuesday so it's been at least a week. I had more trouble lifting today. I can't believe that made...

    I'm glad the regular refs are back because someone was going to get hurt. BUT the play everyone is talking about doesn't mention that all plays where someone scores are reviewed and it's not the replacement refs. When they look into those screens someone else is speaking to them. I'm bench...

    I've been getting in my 30 min of treadmill everyday but now Josh wants me to do 40 min. It's only 10 min. more he says. I don't want 10 min more of treadmill but may try to do at least 10 min on Wii. I'm hoping the cruise next June will be something to get me to lose weight. Of course the...

    Boy Jann what a slacker.;) I hope that cold really isn't going to last long. Kim I know you're right, we can't wait until we want to exercise. That's not going to happen. I don't think I told you I'm semi on vacation this weekend. We have a hotel room at Harrah's for Friday and Saturday...

    Jann No you're not making excuses. That's why I end up staying up late. Too tired to do much but feel like I need a little while by myself. At least I'm not too tired to read.

    Josie I'm glad you are enjoing the quiet. Yea DS came home early and I was able to get hair cut and colored. Boy did it need it. It's amazing how much better you feel when you look better. I'm still getting my two days of lifting in each week. I sure wish I could see a difference. Joan

    50 and over September thread

    My son got off a little early today and I was able to get my hair cut and colored. It's a good thing I don't look in the mirror much, I was looking pretty scraggily. (is that a word?) I still wonder if 2 days a week is enough lifting to make a difference but have decided it is better than...

    Hi to all, I was down 3lb Thursday from my start with trainer in 4 weeks. That's pretty fast for me when not doing crazy diets. I was all pumped up and ready to get serious but then I lost that ambition. I think I'm just too tired from babysitting and taking care of my mother. I still get...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 9/9

    Valerie , my new trainer has me going heavier also. He gave me 30lb for 1 arm rows. There are too many exercises I would be afraid to go that heavy on without a spotter. He has me going to failure every time and when I fail I FAIL. Sorry to be awol but it doesn't every seem like I have any...

    Kim I think we all go in cycles with our exercise. I think if you can keep eating in control that's what's important. That and you eventually come back to exercise.:) Jann Your dog exercise is a lot better than my walking to the bus stop exercise but it's nice to have something that doesn't...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 9/2

    We've been so careful with lower body because I didn't want to injure my knees. So we have slowly increased weight and reps until Thursday. I wasn't sure I could make it up the stairs yesterday. The doms really hit hard. Last night was a spaghetti supper at Elliot's school for grandparents...

    With only the extra 2000 steps (approx) and 2 days of lifting as extra calories used I was surprised at how much more hungry I was. Josh says that is a sign of increased metabolism. I really have to work at keeping calories at 1500. The first week calories averaged 1430 per day, second week...
