Alihikes getting fit and having fun


REALLY excited about Spark and my Spark teams. I'm in my late 60s and retired. Working out and eating healthy are challenges for me sometimes. I LOVE hiking, camping, cross country skiing, snow shoes, and kayaking.. I want to get more fit to enjoy these activities with my friends, and to have more energy to enjoy my retirement!

REALLY excited about Spark and my Spark teams. I'm in my late 60s and retired. Working out and eating healthy are challenges for me sometimes. I LOVE hiking, camping, cross country skiing, snow shoes, and kayaking.. I want to get more fit to enjoy these activities with my friends, and to have more energy to enjoy my retirement! For 2020, I want to continue to lose weight, build strength and increase fitness, and make new friends and have adventures. I also want to reduce my cholesterol level, and reduce blood sugar. I am using a fitness tracker and step goals for 2019, and I am logging my food in a journal. I follow the NoS eating plan.But I am also finding a lot of support and good tools through WeightWatchers.

    Thank you for reading my “Geezer” blog.
    When you said "Obesity, smoking, excess alcohol and inactivity all take a toll," it reminded me that is exactly why all my male cousins are already dead.
    While there are no guarantees in life, following the Spark principles are our best bet for aging well.

    Thanks to you to Alison for all your support too. I thought of you when my husband told me about this Dr. he heard on a radio program. I'm looking into it myself. It goes hand in hand with what you said about relaxing music, yoga and sleeping better.

    Just like Gluten causes inflammation, due to leaky gut syndrome. I know when I eat gluten accidentally, my knees seize up on me and ache all over. Ever seen this video? Dr. Josh Axe:

    So many Dr.'s now are going along with this. I'm just trying anything to feel better and keep from getting knee replacement. I know you are too, so why not try gluten free. It isn't that hard to do. Want to lose 20 pounds in 3 months? We both did when we went GF. We lost that puffy look all over too. We've noticed anyone who goes gf has a leaner look to them.
    Have a good Sunday. Be careful out there in those trails. emoticon

    Thank you for reading my blog “Later Never Comes”
    I was in a place where “later” was threatening to turn into “why bother” or even “never.” Yes, even after 11 years of maintenance, advice, encouragement and support are necessary and much appreciated.
