I'm all for accepting myself and finding the right path for health, and yet still enjoying life and food along the way.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-78458860847945858062010-11-30T21:50:59.289-05:002010-11-30T21:50:59.289-05:00Myrna: Ever since I injured my foot, routine takes...Myrna: Ever since I injured my foot, routine takes on a whole new meaning!<br /><br />mater: She does! And you are a model of fitness!<br /><br />Sal: We should try to outdo each other! :-)<br /><br />Susan: It's discipline but it's life too, don't you think? All kinds of things come up which we can't predict...<br /><br />Blue: I only have one kid - hmmm, I don't think you get as much adolescent food hoarding cache with one :-)<br /><br />Rock Star: Thank you so much for your lovely comment - as you can see I'm far behind on my responses. You have a lot of discipline - and obvs it's working fantastically for you.<br /><br />Lisa: Of course you raise the question I didn't even get into - how do you keep your ass perky while your face doesn't seem gaunt.

The only fruit I eat is wine and as long as I can fit in to most of my jeans I'm happy. <br /><br />If I am not; and some of my favourite skinnyish designer thrifted pairs have given me stern looks as they lie in their candida inducing glory at the bottom of my drawer - then I cut back and try and move around a bit more. Or stop opening that drawer and wear tights and a cute skirt instead.<br /><br />But I am with you on the "women of a certain age" thing. How do you find the balance of looking good, fitting in to nice clothes and having enough fat in your face to be attractive in a natural way?<br /><br />I know I look drawn and tired sometimes. But I laugh a lot and I think that burns calories and gives you a natural facelift at the same time.<br /><br />So tell me a joke a day and I will be both thin and pretty forever.<br /><br />xxLisamareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445509438246694219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-55075811187027987442010-11-19T10:40:28.944-05:002010-11-19T10:40:28.944-05:00Hello there!
I found my way here because, well, yo...Hello there!<br />I found my way here because, well, you are famous now.<br /><br />Last summer we tested my son´s food allergies ( and I went along because I refuse to cook two meals ) Turns out that after I ditched gluten, sugar, black coffee and black tea, and dairy completely and instead inhale green tea by masses... I´ve now lost over 10 cm´s ( over 4 inches )from all over me ( boobs, waist and hips ) and almost 10 kilos ( almost 22 pounds??? ) ever since. And the change came swiftly. I´m talking about a little over month, and I didn´t even try. I just left the crap out. That´s it. I still have a glass or few of organic red wine every two´ish weeks and I still cook stuff that I like. My diet is very high on protein ( I lurve meat ) and as long as I remember to drink enough water, I´m set.<br /><br />Allergies and indigestion can be the worst enemies to us women of certain age.<br /><br />By the way, I do love this blog!WeirdRockStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388608744555605499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-73131609538026717772010-11-17T23:36:52.888-05:002010-11-17T23:36:52.888-05:00I have been on Weight Watchers for the last 8 week...I have been on Weight Watchers for the last 8 weeks and it has been an eye opener in terms of how much I should be eating versus how much I did. I do feel like the changes I am making are lifestyle ones and not temporary ones( I hope that turns out to be true). When I first started I felt an urgency to be rigid with the program and lose the weight fast. But now that it truly feels like long-term changes I no longer feel like it all has to happen super fast. I will get there and getting there sometimes means going out to dinner and having two glasses of red wine, most days it means no red wine.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-10635897237496495752010-11-17T12:23:39.254-05:002010-11-17T12:23:39.254-05:00I too am watching my waistline as I get to a "...I too am watching my waistline as I get to a "certain age" but trying to fit exercise into the day is too hard. Last year, I started getting up earlier to do an hour of kundalini yoga plus some weight training. As much as I hate getting up early, after the yoga, I feel great for the rest of the day. I use videos, so it's like a class, or a daily appointment. As for food, it helps having teenage kids; they gobble up all the goodies before I can get any.BlueTerracottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895878871814705267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-24340124249866696532010-11-17T12:12:38.945-05:002010-11-17T12:12:38.945-05:00I love food and wine and weight is an ongoing stru...I love food and wine and weight is an ongoing struggle. I used to get away with exercising to work off the extra calories, but at 52, this is no longer working. I mean to both work out and watch calories, but still manage to keep losing then gaining back 15 - 20 lbs over my goal weight. It's a discipline issue.Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-80129851466520014532010-11-17T11:34:21.285-05:002010-11-17T11:34:21.285-05:00I admire your philosophy.

I get nervous at the hint of an injury that might disrupt this because it allows me to enjoy the food I like to, although like you, with moderation. Currently, this burn on my foot is making me aware that I probably won't always be able to run and that I'll have to adjust to some other activity (probably walking, realistically) -- and I'll feel a bit sad about that, I'll admit. Meanwhile, though, like you, I'm concentrating on how lucky I am to have this sturdy body to move around in.<br /><br />And btw, this woman of a certain age, does she have a French accent?materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-17673417933564757882010-11-17T10:11:52.370-05:002010-11-17T10:11:52.370-05:00Just the other day I was thinking about my waist, ...Just the other day I was thinking about my waist, about how I'm not willing to lose it with aging. I too am a woman of a certain age. That said, I can't seem to find the drive to stick with any kind of program for any length of time. I work best with routine and so far my routine is right to the studio and stay there as much as possible. Working to change that.Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322129605868685006noreply@blogger.com
