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! 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, ...
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.

    Alison, Guam has few virus cases for our population but a couple of my grands are asthmatic and so they are isolated as I am because of my health issues.

    That's good. I know once after quitting regular coke, I was wanting one. I drank it and couldn't finish it-- sickening sweet. Yuck. I was drinking sweet tea for awhile and realized gotta stop that, calories...let alone all the sugar. I enjoy unsweet tea now...Bob still can't stand that. He has coffee with cream off and on. But, if he can't get coffee he gets half and half tea.
    Yeah, I have osteopenia too and I imagine soft drink products not good for the joints/bones.
    I'm due for a new bone density test. I am hoping it has gotten better. I'd be heartbroken if I have oteoporosis, like my Mom has.
    Have a good evening. Be safe. emoticon

    I’m sorry your plans had to change. And on the Fourth, though we know it has to be. We also are refusing to meet at a patio with friends- it’s unwise now and I want to be safe. Happy Fourth. I have faith that logic and science will bring us out of th
