Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 12/3

Carolyn what is your take on the new WW program? it sounds like a lot less recording. my allowed points dropped by about 25% so will see how this works for me. If beans and legumes and chicken are now free, it will help me a lot. what I wonder about is the recipes I have entered with have point values. I imagine they will all need to be recalculated.

Good afternoon ladies!

I am in Charlotte visiting Madeline thru Tuesday. For a person who does not like to fly I certainly have done enough these past few weeks.
Yesterdays workout was a LEKFit bounce for about 35mins. That was my only workout. Left early this morning so will try to fit one in later this evening in between madeline’s naps. I never took my bands out of my suitcase from when I came home from Philadelphia. She has some light weights and ankle weights here so I will get some good workouts while here. I am going to try Cathe’s Live from this past Thursday. Low Impact Hiit plus Upper Body and use bands. Hoping all will flow well. I will start back up with Jessica’s rotation when I come back.

​

I have not looked at the new WW program. Will do so this weekend.

Looks like everyone is getting in some good workouts.

devices are so expensive and then you have to upgrade every few years. Very fustrating!

Carolyn...the Cardio Hiit workout looks great. I have not done this one yet. I am really enjoying these workouts.

Have a great weekend all!

Valerie, I like the Freestyle program so far. Although my daily allowance went down, I have had points left over each day. Many of my favorite foods are now zero points! I thought of you when I saw that beans and lentils are now zero. I am having beans for dinner today and I only have 7 points left after lunch! I am happy about the change. There was some discussion about recipes at my meeting and most should calculate accurately. One woman deleted the ingredient then added it back and it came up as zero as it should. Some scanned foods might not come out as zero because they have added ingredients like fat or sugar. The strangest thing for me is the rollover smart points. They get added to your weekly allowance, so mine keeps going up. I will probably only use those for special occasions which is what I do now.

Lori, I am so glad that you are able to visit Madeline. Enjoy!

Carolyn, I put an Avast security app that costs 10.00 a year on my Samsung tablet and it will prompt me to so I can close out all the apps running in the background and increase the battery life which is nice. If I didn't already have lookout provided by AT&T I would get it for my cell phone. I am tempted to anyway. I try to close out running apps on it anyway. Apple is easy to use and has a few pluses, but to me it costs too much and there are not enough service centers specific to Apple products around here.

Lori, enjoy your visit with Madeline.

Hi Everyone,

My week hasn't gone exactly as planned. I think I picked up a bug at the gym on Tuesday night. It was really crowded and some people were coughing and hacking. I started feeling bad on Wednesday and Thursday was a little worse. I've been taking it easy and starting to feel better so hopefully I can get back to normal workouts on Monday.

Lori-That's awesome that you get to spend time with Madeline! I bet she is very happy to have you there.

Deb-I love 4 DS Kickbox and Legs! That is one of my favorite Cathe workouts. So many great premixes in that series too.
We got an inch or two of snow this morning and it's been very cold, with highs in the 20's.

Diane Sue-Great job with Build & Burn! Mine arrived on Thursday. I previewed them and they look good. I'm planning on starting a rotation with them on Monday.

Carolyn-I'm tentatively planning on doing a rotation with Build & Burn and WS3 for the rest of December. I'm not sure if we will get the new Cathe workouts before Christmas, but if we do I may add a few of those in too.

Valerie- I bought an iPhone 8 Plus last month and I sold my old 6 Plus and 6S Plus on Gazelle.com. I love my Apple products and I don't think I would ever switch.
