50 and over week of November 14 check in

[JoanC]

Good morning Magnolia, Jann, Cathy, Beth and Deb,

Back a couple of years ago if you bought the nutrition package you were a gold member. With it you got to use the workout blender for free and got three hours of downloads a year. The next year they dropped the extras. We feel we should get what we paid for that first year.

Magnolia Glad your back is better.

I have been back to recording calories in and used for the last two weeks.

I'm not doing too bad considering my brother came back to visit for another week and we ate out alot. Today is dh's birthday.

Joan

Hi, Y'All.

Thanks for all your good wishes. I am extremely optimistic about this week--I am having almost no pain now. I'm being very good and doing the stretches and icing just as I am supposed to. I switched to Aleve for the pain (only two a day as opposed to six Advils). In fact, I only took one Aleve today around lunch time, and that only because I had a minor twinge. Otherwise, I am hoping I can start at least walking by the end of the week. I am all set for that!

I agree that you should get what you signed up for. I wish the best for you.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

Magnolia

Good morning, Y'All!

Cathy, congrats on the new grand baby. Hope all went well.

Still behaving myself. I've been reading Bill Phillips' Food for Life. We tried a couple of the recipes and really liked them a lot. It sounds like a sensible approach, so we are going to give it a try. Can't wait to get active again. Tired of all this icing and sitting. I go back to the chiropractor tomorrow morning.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi, Y'All.

Congratulations, Cathy. She sounds like a healthy girl. I'm assuming that everything went well. I am glad for you.

Went to the chiropractor today for another adjustment. I am doing very well, but I have to go back Tuesday, and, nope. . . . I still can't work out. That is, unless you can call mild back stretches working out. Just gotta get through this.

Have a great evening, everyone.

Congratulations Cathy! I am so glad everyone is doing well.

Magnolia You are being so very good! I hope your back gets back to normal soon! {{{Magnolia}}}

Hoping to get myself back to normal workouts today. This week has been crazy with family stuff. My energy is very low. Today is core max and treadmill.

I hope the new workouts come in tomorrow!!

 

[drover]

jann, i have felt the same way for weeks, very low energy. i had to take a nap yesterday before i could workout, and i was pretty tired thru the whole w/out. i should feel great. it is beautiful and cool and sunny here. i should be full of energy. i really hate feeling like this.hope to do better today. bbl

Good morning, Y'All.

Well, I have to go back to the chiropractor on Tuesday. I am not quite there yet. I am going to do exactly whatever I have to do to get well, so that I won't have to spend more time in the chiropractor's office and even less time working out later!

Have a great day everyone, and please stay well!!

Magnolia

Good morning all,

I went to a tax seminar last week. I had to drive to Il and back each day. I made dh take off work to babysit. It's a good thing I did because there is so much new info.

I have been following sts meso three and redoing that first week over and over slowly increasing the weight. I also have done an hour of Walk it Out on Wii each day. I got 4.5 miles in today.

Congratulations Cathy.
