Shelley, I had exactly the same experience! Guess we all have a lot of changes to make... Live & learn!

I just discovered fitday.com & was shocked at how much fat (percentage wise) I consume!! I thought I was on a really low fat diet!!! I also need to add a lot of protein - guess protein powder will be my new best friend:7

Timesaver 5 Day Rotation and Cross Train Xpress are my favorites because they are under an hour - great for busy schedules! I would say the best thing to do is ANYTHING! Just get moving - even a 20 minute walk will help. & as has been mentioned before, eat "clean". At 57 my matabolism (sp?)...

note to self - do NOT eat ice cream before BC!!! it was only 1/4 cup of home-made vanilla, but I could feel the fat & it almost made me nauseous during the workout. I know I didn't work as hard as I wanted:( oh well, there is always next week... but I did do all but one terminator!! That's...

OK all you young chicks, I'm going for "Sensational at 60!" One look at my peers is enough motivation! Adding muscle is almost impossible at this age, but flexibility, stamina & maintaining muscle are key goals for the next 2 years:7

Clare, thoughts & prayers are with you. I know how debilitating depression can be. I have found that exercise, while seeming impossible, is a powerful tool to help relieve some of the depression. A Cathe workout may be too much, but just a walk will help. "Just take one more step" & "don't...

Lori, there is some great advice in these posts, as well as emotional support. My thoughts & prayers are with you both.

I'm 5'6" & have a 65 cm ball. I would not want one any smaller..

I've been "flashing" for almost 5 years now. My suggestion is that you do some serious investigation into estrogen before you consider supplementing it. The increased risk of heart disease and/or cancer can be much worse that the usual symptoms.

Gee Shelley, Hope your day gets better ;-) but it's always good to be able to express yourself with your friends - that's true friendship! LOL

Great answers! Here's the perspective of a mother to one, stepmother to 5 & grandmother of 8, You are NOT selfish. The selfish ones are the ones who have children because they think it is the thing to do, & then farm their children out to in-laws, grandparents, & daycare!!!!!!! If a couple...

I agree, Sarah nailed it. I had commented to friends on just that topic - no cattiness, just women laughing, having fun & working their buns off! What a great crowd. & as one older ones at 57, I felt perfectly comfortable with all you younger folks - sharing a commitment to live a healthy...

ummmm great on salt & water.... nuf said:9

DID IT!!! well, I did miss 2 Terminators in the 2nd set, & I can't go down very far in the plank/pushups, but hey, give an old lady a break:D I'll be with you next Thursday to sweat it out again!! till then...

I think it depends on whether you went to a spa or the MT's home. My MT works out of her home & I don't tip her. I do give her a Christmas gift - maybe 60-100% of the cost of a massage. At a spa, I think the 15% rule is a good one, & more if they are really great - just as others have said...

If it contains "high fructose corn syrup" or "partially hydrogenated ..." DON'T EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ditto your wisdom!

Oh boy, another book club!!!!! being farily new, I didn't know this was going on. I have read Kite Runner, & agree that it is a wonderful book - educational while touching. I look forward to the discussion in Sept.

HYSTARICAL!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!!!

What an inspiration you are in so many ways, A-Jock!! Congratulations on your success! I'm sorry we missed you on the Road Trip - maybe next time.

OK, OK, I'll go for it. I agree with your comment Shelley that if nothing else, it makes me think before I bake those brownies, much less eat them:D
