Welcome home, Dolores!I hope we get used to the new board.I made a few circles before deciding I would just post but we will get used to it and I know the staff will help us.Dolores, you are the first and only one who has reached goal so we will need your encouragement that if we reach goal we can stay there...you are the leader!I haven't done any reading in "the book" yet today but hope to get there after dinner.I haven't eaten in bed LOL.I was going to try the gym today but I have shingles and thought I'd wait until I'm through with the medicine for that which will be Thursday.I went to the doc last Wednesday and have three spots which are clearing up.I was a little nervous as I've heard so many horror stories about shingles....so far so good.Ginnyjane, I'm glad to see you found the new board.

Welcome to the gal over 80 who posted!Keep in touch as we love supporters and hope we can give support!!

I'm not sure but think we might have to check out our profiles and I don't have time right now.  Joy

Did my laundry this morning, baked cookies, and cleaned under my sink....a job I've been going to do every time I see it but now it's done...not dirty but messy.This afternoon I've been cleaning my sewing area and sewed another quilt block. I fell asleep last night while reading "the book". I've read it before more than once but remember after I read it the first time I did put the knowledge and awareness into action.(Pg 6)I have gained back some of my weight and now need to take action before I regain any more....time to get on the losing side! Tomorrow I'm going to check out the gym 3 miles down the road. It just opened this spring. I liked Curves but think I would like to spend at least an hour working out plus this place has treadmills and bikes. They also have an aerobic class for seniors one day a week. I'll let you know how I make out tomorrow. WLCB Joy

P.S.I like having spell check for words such as aerobic!

Did you know you can find personal information about each one by clicking on our user name? Click on "ulnamn" and it will take you to my profiles. I think we might have to write new ones for the new board so I am going to check right now. Joy

I posted yesterday but somehow my message did not reach the board.  Glad to see you back, Jane.  I sent directions to Lois but haven't heard from her as yet.  My shingles are all gone, GJ...thanks for your concern.  I went to the gym yesterday and really enjoyed it.  I did strength training for chest, back, biceps(front of the arm, triceps(back of the arm), abs, quads(front of leg, hamstrings(back of leg), plus the treadmill(cardio).  I did 10 reps of each, rested 30 seconds, and did 10 more reps.  They recommend 2/3 days of strength training and 3/5 days of cardio.  They say not to work the same muscle two days in a row so today I just did cardio....treadmill and bike.  Tomorrow I'll do strength training.  They have senior aerobics on Monday's and Wednesday's.  I think I have found the gym I want to join.  Just have to see if they have a partner gym in Texas or if I can join for 8 months of the year.  I met the owner today and he seems very nice.  I had met his wife previously.  I posted my profile but not as much room as before so it got cut off....will have to check it out again.  I like your scene, GJ.  Another thing I'll have to try to do.  Nice to have our support group together again.  Joy
