My goals would be:
* Lose some weight – 10 lbs
* Get back on track – I had been a figure competitor and was so used to following a certain plan in food and workouts every day. Somewhere along the line, the workouts became inconsistent (however, I have managed to do at least 4 days a week), the food has been the issue. Feels like I don’t know how to eat right anymore
* In my 60s, I need to get in more cardio to keep my cholesterol, endurance, etc. in check – AND, I ALSO AM NOT A FAN OF CARDIO 🙂 I get bored with it 🙂 With that said, I am COMMITTED to getting it done.
* Want to feel good in shorts and a bathing suit, without questioning 🙂
* And always, even though my children are all adults, I like to set an example for them.Hi everyone! I am 62 years old, competed in my first figure competition at 58 and did 3. Have been off track for the last year and am trying to get back on track. I am retired and live in northern NH. I have 3 grown children who live all over the country and between them, I have 7 grandchildren!
I am always coming up with “pancakes”. I am going to mix the oat bran/oatmeal with the egg; saute the spinach in a skillet and then add in the oat egg mixture.
I am excited as well. I needed a kick in the butt!!!. My concern is the cardio and the calories. You see ladies, I will be 63 in July! I have been fairly active and competed in 3 figure competitions starting at age 58. I haven’t competed for a while, had no idea if I wanted to. Lately though, I have been thinking about maybe next year. This past winter my husband was away in Micronesia with the Peace Corps, which was to be a year long volunteer. Winters are bleak and I was lonely. Thought I could manage my health and my weight. Well, I managed to at least continue my workouts for 3 – 4 days a week. My diet was way off though. So, when I saw this on Nicole’s page (I love Nicole and am so impressed with her on so many levels), I decided it was time to find something that was going to kick my butt. And, it looks like this is it. I am concerned about the amount of calories (some mental, but also physical because of my age), I know I am going to really have to kick up the cardio. I had run a few years ago, but it has been at least 2, so square 1 for me! Good luck to all you ladies, and guys, we can do it! We are all winners!!!!
