Re: CHECK IN - HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING
So, I’ve changed up my cardio and my knee is doing better. Yay! Still want to shake it up with something other than cardio.
I cleansed or de-toxed for 2 days this week. Headache! But felt better afterwards.
Been doing better with my eating and drinking but still room for improvement on the eating front.
I stay away from the scale. When the waist of my skirts and pants fit more comfortably, I’ll be good.
And jumping on the bandwagon about health not being just about weight, get your annual skin check up! Especially those of us who live in sunnier places.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi folks,
Some of you posted your goals and challenges, some reported ideas to achieve those goals.? Any tips, recipes, motivations, etc., please share.
I've only lost 3 pounds so far - the first week started off rocky and I went up before I went down.? I got new sneakers to help with the knee issue, and got back to Orange Theory Fitness (OTF), which I absolutely love.? I have signed up for 3 days per week
until the Falmouth road race, which is my first benchmark date.

Re: CHECK IN - HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING
So, I forgot to weigh in this morning because I actually slept last night and my hubby didn’t want to wake me up until he absolutely had to. ?But, I did exercise 4 times this week, even though my Apple Watch doesn’t count my outdoor walks because I don’t
go fast enough. ?I get my heart rate into the target range and that ‘s what counts.
And, thanks to Judy’s prompting, I called this morning and made an appointment with my doc for a LONG overdue physical.

Eating Well Magazine is a good source of healthy, lo-cal, and quick recipes that are good for weeknights.? I am trying to cook enough for two meals so I can go to the gym on alternating nights.??

Bobbi and Carol -?
Carbs are definitely an issue for me.? I can look into the Keto plan, but if you have any info you could share it would be great.? Thanks!

I have used it in the past too, Carol, and will get it back up and running again over the weekend.? I always forget my password and every time I start over my weight is a little higher.? :(? That's okay - I'm going in the right direction now!

If anyone has MyFitnessPal we could use that to track diet and exercise progress. I am caroljwessels if you want to friend me. I use the free version.?

I have. I did it last year and it worked great. NOt only did I lost weight, but I also hade a noticeable decrease in join pain, and also it completely eliminated those HANGRIES and blood sugar drops I would get when eating a carb-based diet. I completely gave up all grain, and all sugar, and mostly ate a lot of green veggies, lean meat, and butter/oil/avocado and nuts. It was a little boring but manageable. I lost ta total of about 20 pounds between the diet and an aggressive exercise routine.
But.....
Then on my honeymoon I totally gave it up because - who goes to France and doesnt eat bread right? So I put some of the weight back on, and over the winter, well it was winter in Wisconsin so I put more on, and before I know it I had regained 17 pounds . So this spring I went on it again, and while I had the same noticeable drop in joint pain and hangries, I lost NO WEIGHT. MAybe its because my exercise has been modified due to a couple injury issues that have gotten worse. But if that's true then maybe the exercise was why I lost weight not the diet. But we will see. I still think it was a good diet. And in a sense it has become sort of a lifestyle that I eat way less carbs than I ever did before.??

Several years back I lost 25 lbs with the Isagenix program, a protein shake-based program that included periodic cleansing/de-toxing.? I’m going back on that now as it’s simple.? I am not a cook, so meal prep and eating healthy is a challenge
to me unless it doesn’t require much thought or work.
?
A couple of additional goals I have are as follows:
?
- Limit alcohol intake, particularly beer (doesn’t help that my hubby is a brewer);
- Stop drinking coffee as it’s all about the creamer and sugar for me;
- Increase water intake;
- Incorporate new forms of exercise into my routine.? I’m a pretty regular exerciser but only do cardio.? Time to shake it up with a class or two-like yoga, spin or Zumba, and I, too,
have knee issues that I though I had resolved a couple years back with surgery but seem to be re-surfacing.
?
Ugh, aging stinks (in some ways but not all)!

I'm going to spend the weekend planning my eating for the week, and doing meal prep at night so I have healthy meals.? If you don't put a little time into pre-planning, there will always be leftover Qdoba chips or something else to fill
the void.? I keep Premier Protein shakes on hand for times when I'm too busy to get a salad or healthier meal.? They are cheapest at Walmart and come in flavors like choc, vanilla, strawberry, and caramel.? 30 grams of protein and low cal and low sugar.? They
are a great thing to keep on hand.? I have one for breakfast most days because I'm not a breakfast eater, but breakfast is important.?
That's my tip of the day - Premier Protein shakes.? :)??

Mark and I are considering the Keto diet (no carbs all fats).? Has anyone tried this?? Mark's Daughter swears by it.?

Sitting here eating leftover Qdoba chips because I don’t have time to go get lunch isn’t helping things, though

Sorry about your watch, Crystal!? Maybe Apple will replace it because it should not have fallen off??? Worth asking - it's a definite no if you don't ask ...
Quote of the day:
The goals that keep frustrating me are a goal to lose 25-30 pounds. That is how much I've added since my hip surgery in 2012. So I am scrapping that goal.
F--- it. It just adds to the stress.
I could have written this - it is so true, Carol - my knees and hip intermittently cause disruption to my best laid plans, so the key is to have an alternate plan when my knees aren't feeling up to par.? I might have to look into my local pool - I was never
a great swimmer, but it's no impact.? Part of the reason my knees hurt is the load I've been having them carry for far too long!!? So, time to change that.? :)

My goals are:?
1) Lose three inches off my waist
2) Make a plan for exercise that doesn't cause me to be in pain given my knee and hip issues.I had a great plan but now it hurts too much.
3) Reduce my stress by 10% because when I am stressed, at the end of the day all willpower is gone, and there go a couple glasses of wine, a bunch of mixed nuts, etc etc.....
The goals that keep frustrating me are a goal to lose 25-30 pounds. That is how much I've added since my hip surgery in 2012. So I am scrapping that goal. F--- it. It just adds to the stress.

I don't have an Apple watch, but how about every monday is report day - we report how we did with our goals for the prior week, and we lay out our goals for the week ahead (like we did above - exercise x times per week, etc.).? Just an idea - I'm open to anything that might inspire commitment and accountability.? I realize the same strategy won't work for every body, but I'd love to hear from all group members as to how the collective might help them to get on track, stay on track, get back on track when one falls off (let's be real) ...?
