    Menopausal-Slimming Down All Over what's up with the Core

    How am I supposed to work out at my age (57) when I have no energy? I'm sitting at my desk at work at 3:55 p.m. CDT right now and I can barely hold my eyes open. I am so sleepy.

    Menopause

    What helped me is drinking catnip tea 1.5 to 2 hours before bedtime and Sleepytime Extra tea 30 minutes before bedtime. Sometimes I have to take half of a 25 mg meclizine (travel sickness) pill along with the two teas. I have also noticed that if I don't drink alcohol and/or eat something...

    Anyone on Hormone Replacement Therapy?

    Do any of you seem like forgetfulness is taking over? I am noticing that I forget to buy things at the grocery store even though I have a list in front of me. Today, I went to Sally Beauty Supply with a 15% coupon to use for a new blow dryer and forgot to give it to the cashier. This is...

    Is Vegetarianism the Way to Go?

    I like to try different foods. I bore easily. I do stick to a clean diet six days of the week. Like you say, no more than five ingredients. I shop around the perimeter of the grocery store. I've cut way down on eating sweets but I refuse to give up my wine. After posting this question, I...

    Is Vegetarianism the Way to Go?

    Anyone out there a true vegetarian? I toyed with it last year and ended up quitting. Not sure why I quit. Maybe from boredom. I wasn't sure if I was getting the right balance of protein and carbs. It did seem like I was eating more. Right now, I am following a paleo diet but I feel bloated...

    What is your favorite shampoo and other hair products?

    I have fine hair as well. My hairstylist turned me on to Bumble and bumble's thickening shampoo and conditioner. I also use their Sunday shampoo.

    Weightlifting Rotation

    Has anyone come up with a rotation that is weightlifting only? Or does Cathe have one (besides STS)? I don't have the energy for Cathe's intense cardio anymore.

    It Must Be Kismet

    Well, it has been three weeks since I started my new job. The duties associated with this job are nothing like what I was told in the interview. I can't keep up. Now I know why the lady I replaced had to get out of here. I should have told him no, accepted my FAFSA loan and registered for...

    I tried to keep up with the rotation but it was too exhausting. I'm too old to do this type of cardio.

    Do Any of You Wear Socks?

    I started wearing the shoes about a month ago. I didn't notice any knee pain until last week when I started Elliott's workout. I don't think they are strained. Maybe they are just fatigued. I decided to give them a break and skipped the workout for today.

    Do Any of You Wear Socks?

    My knees have started hurting and I thought I had purchased the wrong training shoes (Nike Zoom). I was reading some blogs and some are saying they don't wear socks when they workout. Last week, I began Elliott Hulse's Lean Hybrid Muscle workout. He finishes every workout with what he calls a...

    It Must Be Kismet

    As some of you know from a previous thread, I have been looking for a job for a few months. Either it was fate or kismet, but I was about to leave my house to go sign up for Fall semester classes at a local college when I got a call from a firm that I interviewed with back in late February for...

    Ernestine Shepherd is 80!

    I just found this article on Yahoo. https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/80-old-fitness-trainer-prove-000000042.html Her skin looks so supple. Is this more hereditary or does exercise help?
