I Do Believe I'm gettin' better, better...
A few weeks ago, when we had our first really chilly day - for November chilly I mean. I realized that soon, very soon, there is a good chance of ice & snow all around. I HAVE to strengthen my legs so I can get around in that mess!
Yeah, my YakTrax take care of the ice like nobody's business, but I still want more stamina & better stability.
I am hoping some changes in medication might also help with my horrible sugar cravings - much better to change that medication ...

Turkey Day and Christmas are never a problem for me. I don't attend a lot of parties (well, to be honest, none thus far), and as I'm not working no office pot lucks to attend. No co-workers dumping candy on my desk .... sneaky diet saboteurs!! GRRR
I don't eat a lot at Thanksgiving or at Christmas. My attention is more focused on being with family & enjoy the time we spend with each other.

My Goals:
Continue strengthening knees, especially in my quads. I want to get back into my rollerblades & start hiking my favorite mountain hikes.
Plus, I need to be safe when I eventually have to deal with the ice & snow this winter.
Of course I want to lose weight - lots, but I also want to be healthier, more active, fit, and just in better condtion all the way around!
A larger goal...To be able to participate in a charity walk or bike ride.
My Program:
I still use the Nustep over the regular elliptical. But I can get a good workout from the reclined elliptical, too.
Sometimes I ride the stationary bikes & am considering taking a spinning class to start regaining my ability to stand in the peddles when I cycle on the roads.
I'm also doing weight training and lots of stretches.
Personal Information:
FL native, moved to Washington DC area in 1995. Presently I live in the shadows of the Shenendoah National Park/Mountains.
I would love to be back "in the Loop" at some point. I loved the fast pace of life there!
I'm single, but haven't given up on finding someone to share my dotage with :)
I have one brother (4 yrs older) and a 10 yr old nephew that I adore, as well as my parents (both young!)
Other Information:
Reading, crossword puzzles, Scrabble, hiking in the woods or mountains, needlepoint, antique fairs, gourmet cooking, gardening, growing heirloom tomatoes, I love my cats, and have a 55 gal tank of freshwater tropical fish.
I adore music - all kinds of music & want to have another piano one day. I'd also like to learn to play the harp, & I sing too!

Sorry that you are unhappy today, Hon. I'm glad u stopped by my page. I'm almost over my recovery period for my Gallbladder and upset that I regained so much weight since I've been eating a LOT of carbs, to avoid eating FATS. I regained after my bad gallbladder attack in July and then getting the surgery 10-14. So, went to the grocery store yesterday and bought food that I KNOW I need to get back on track. Just had to make my plan and get on it today, as I certainly do NOT want to be back in these 190's.
