<p>Bettina I hear everything you say and agree with it all. The reason I walk/run is no longer for the weight issue, but because I feel better for it. I have the inevitable arthritis coming on in my joints and sitting doing nothing, does not help it, it just gets stiffer. The exercise helps keeps the joints moving (along with 1000mg of cod liver oil daily). I can, and do, run up the stairs. And that heart throbbing in your ears thing, yes I know that too. But it's getting less and less…</p>

<p>A lecturer I had for anatomy and physiology and later pathophysiology, said if you don't use it you'll lose it. What he meant was we have to use our muscles in a full range of motion so we don't lose muscle mass and place stress on our tendons and ligaments, and weight bear on our bones so we don't lose bone mass. I saw so many elderly who had a fall, so they became too frightened to walk or get a bout so they sat a lot. They lost bone mass and the next time they fell they broke or fractured…</p>
<p>A lecturer I had for anatomy and physiology and later pathophysiology, said if you don't use it you'll lose it. What he meant was we have to use our muscles in a full range of motion so we don't lose muscle mass and place stress on our tendons and ligaments, and weight bear on our bones so we don't lose bone mass. I saw so many elderly who had a fall, so they became too frightened to walk or get a bout so they sat a lot. They lost bone mass and the next time they fell they broke or fractured something - usually a hip - and they became more frightened of being hurt so they did even less, and ended up with fractures and breaks from activities that shouldn't have caused that. Not to mention, amputations from poor circulation, diabetes, impaired liver function..the list goes on!<br/>At some part we lose sight of our bodies and tend to ignore it until you imply can't anymore or you have a crisis moment. It's a very complex issue with no easy answers, geez if there was I'd be making a fortune instead of baking what I love. LOL</p>
<p>I do know that since I have taken my life back, for me, that my taste has changed. I used to drink a LOT of coke and now I find it is too sweet an makes me feel sick. My chocolate taste now ranges more to the dark side than the milk chocolate that I luuuuurved so much. I actually prefer the taste of salads, grilled fish etc because the other just makes me feel unwell. Yay! It all feels different this time around because I think that the reason for getting off my backside and taking action is not to lose weight but to feel strong again.</p> You know Bettina

<p>In all truth and honesty. We should try our best to be within our weight range and we must excercise... not for looks, but for a strong heart & bones. You feel so much better and live a less complicated life health wise. I saw so much in 20 yrs in homecare. People not taking care of themselves and the terrible results.</p>

<p>For me it's not about the weight or the way I look as such. All my life I have liked feeling strong. When I was a wee girl, I used to wish I had BIG muscles, body building muscles, but back then there weren't any female body builders and to be honest I really don't like that 'stocking stuffed with walnuts' look. Just a bit of definition is fine. So when I had my kids I spent all my time with them, doing things with them, and never once focused on me. I didn't have time to. I became very…</p>
<p>For me it's not about the weight or the way I look as such. All my life I have liked feeling strong. When I was a wee girl, I used to wish I had BIG muscles, body building muscles, but back then there weren't any female body builders and to be honest I really don't like that 'stocking stuffed with walnuts' look. Just a bit of definition is fine. So when I had my kids I spent all my time with them, doing things with them, and never once focused on me. I didn't have time to. I became very unhappy about not being able to just walk (waddle) into a shop and buy off the rack. I stopped wearing makeup, as my (soon to be) ex husband didn't like it, and worst thing of all, I didn't feel strong!<br/>It wasn't until a friend of mine started at Curves that I realised that it was time for me. I saw her down the street one day, about two months after she had started at Curves and the only reason I recognised her was because she was holding her young daughter's hand! So off I went and have been going ever since. I do circuit training, Zumba and every now and then I think about doing the boot camp they run twice a week...but I don't think I'm fit enough yet. I don't own scales, other than the ones I use in the kitchen, and I get weighed and measured once a month. I don't care about the weight these days, it's the centimeters that determine what sized clothes you fit into!<br/>I went out the other day and bought a pair of jeans off the rack. No biggy you might think, BUT it's the first pair of jeans WITHOUT an elastic waist that I have bought in over a decade!<br/>I feel stronger, my core muscles are doing what they're supposed to, My back has stopped aching, as have my hips, I can stretch straight legged and have my fingers reach past my toes, I don't hear my heartbeat in my ears when I simply walk from the bathroom to the bedroom anymore and these are more important than merely looking good. My grandmother was a grandmotherly type, all pinny and dimples and she died suddenly from a stroke, the day before she was to come out to Australia to see her grandkids - my brothers and I. I don't want to end up that way, not without a fight, and if I look good doing it, meh that's ok, but not the most important thing for me.</p> Ahhhh We are never happy wit…tag:cakeswebake.com,2012-10-02:4635016:Comment:10836542012-10-02T22:56:18.817ZJune Kowalczykhttps://cakeswebake.com/profile/JuneKowalczyk

<p>I have to give you credit Katy. I hate to exercise but used to do it faithfully. Then I went to work for the phone co as a cssr in their call center. It was so stressful and the last thing I wanted to do was exercise. I left that job 2 yrs ago but have not gotten back into a routine of regular exercise but am very careful about my diet. If I wasn't, I would probably weigh 200lbs but I am not where I would like to be. I could afford to lose another 15 to get where I was 13 yrs ago which…</p>

<p>June - when you're ready, you're ready and not before. I'm now trying to get the smoking under control and not doing too badly. Mick has really cut down after that bad chest infection and we're doing it together.</p>
