Nancy… laughing at Tip #1. Good one!

Went to class, took my flaxseed muffin to my coffee gathering, drank my coffee with no sugar.

Need to start working on my water… and I believe walking on my gazelle is in my future

[Nancy]

Oh yes one other thing I compare notes with my dsis.
She has knee issues and goes to the community center aka bingo hall there is lunch for the seniors too
and they have line dancing with other gals retirement age. They use a TV and yt I think for it.

[Ramblinrose]

Nancy.. YT has a great a great variety of people who have exersize videos. We do many walking and chair videos and I do some more advanced ones here at home. Some use resistance bans while others use 1-3 lb weights. Some have videos where you can walk 5 miles or get in 10k in an hour or so. M

If it were cooler like where you are with trees and paths I would to especially if I had a dog.

[Ramblinrose]

Geesh… these headaches are getting old, but I’m sure I say that every season

Ok so I didn’t get in my steps or water yesterday and thought I had no sugar stayed within my foods but ate more than I usually do. Had to because sometimes my meds upset my tummy and I need to eat to calm it down

[Twins' Mom]

I put my Fitbit on so I can capture steps beginning tomorrow. No lofty goals, just an awareness of movement.

[Ramblinrose]

Twins… good for you! Moving is better than not moving. My step goal always falls back when I get a migraine so I’ve learned to give myself some grace. Keep posting here so we can cheer you on.

I decided to walk outside this morning and my watch and step counter quit while I was walking. Thankfully when I had reached my half way point I stopped to see how far I had gone. My watch stopped some time after that so I just doubled my half way steps.

I don’t know about this no sugar thing, but as of yesterday I have become aware of sugars in the things I eat…not much there cause I eat so clean but I do use it with my coffee so I am only using half … 2 packs per cup of coffee, but my cup holds 12 ozs.

I haven had any diet soda in so long I can’t remember the last one… oh yes I do. I had one when Sweetie and I ate at our favorite fast food place. I had a bunless hamburger with a diet root beer with no caffeine, but that was before Easter.
