Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Dave: Yes, and what about those of uf who live on hills? Last time I tried jogging out here, I hurt my knee. As far as excess fat...Not really, I just feel too loose. And how in the hell do you get rid of the dimples?? I know you you don't have the answer to that one, I'm just complaining. I think they're here for the long haul. And there are a couple of places where I wouldn't mind losing that last pinch. Without of course, losing the very feminine feel and look. No need to be Twiggy again! (When I was in college, I weighed 120 lbs...And wore a size 1-3). Imagine someone my height that skinny - yikes. Laura: I ordered the book off Barnes & Noble a few days ago...It was on sale for $4.00! I haven't received it yet. Check it out and see if the price is still that low.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 >>Dave: Yes, and what about those of uf who live on hills? Last time I tried jogging out here, I hurt my knee.<< As a young Marine, I did a lot of jogging in the hills around Bainbridge, MD. I don't remember ever falling. Years later, I injured my knee playing on the beach. I had knee surgery, and they said I'd never jog again. What!! Well, the rest of the story is history. As an aside, they can do knee cartilage replacements now, and I'm considering it. >>As far as excess fat...Not really, I just feel too loose.<< I wonder if that's how the straw man of OZ felt? ;-) As we age, our muscles turn to flab (see #1). The research tells us that people getting adequate protein do not see this change. The soy zone bridges that gap IMHO, and bumps our protein up without making it a high protein diet. 1. Research indicates that diet is the chief reason behind most of the signs of aging (you'll read about the biomarkers,) and that eventual old age and death is actually the act of " starving to death. " Controversial for sure!! As our knowledge level rises in this area, this is a great topic to kick around. >>And how in the hell do you get rid of the dimples??<< Doing that would break your momma's heart. " Oh, you're so cute with 'em! " >>...And there are a couple of places where I wouldn't mind losing that last pinch. Without of course, losing the very feminine feel and look.<< I'd say this is about both " losing the pinches " and " firming up " the feminine parts. You might find a lot of value from yesterday's link to article at LEF.org re: natural women's hormone modulation therapy >>No need to be Twiggy again!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 I never fell jogging but the running up and down these hills just put too much strain on my knees. It healed up quickly, once I stopped running. I guess I'll just find a flat surface somewhere to run...Which would mean getting into a car, that's the bummer. I just want to walk out the door and get my exercise close to home. Don't get me wrong...I do lift weights several times a week in town. I just feel the convenience of running is that you can just do it around your own neighborhood. It wasn't the dimples on my face I was talking about...Though I have quite a few. And, the main flab is my little belly pooch which is stretched out skin. My first pregnancy was an 80 lb gain, my second was a 70 lb gain. I lose it all within about 7 months postpartum. In March, right after giving birth, I weighed 215 lbs. But, that much weight really stretches that skin and it just won't ever go back. The uppermost part of my thighs are a little stretched as well. But, hopefully jogging will help build enough muscle to at least give the appearance of firmer skin. Anyone else on the list have the worn out elastic look to their mommy bellies? After my first pregnancy I was told that the only remedy would be a tummy tuck, where they would actually staple my skin. Yuck. I'll keep my soft flesh. I guess I'm the typical female that will always be critical of the way I look. But, all in all...I'm pretty damn happy with my reflection in the mirror! Have a great weekend.

I have other things to do with the time. >>...wasn't the dimples on my face...<< Oh, we won't speak that word then! >>...hopefully jogging will help build enough muscle to at least give the appearance of firmer skin.<< In my mind, jogging is primarily for strengthening the heart and cardiovascular systems. I'm not an expert here but for firming like you describe, I'd use a light weight and many reps. >>...Anyone else...have the worn out elastic look to their mommy bellies?<< I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I remember reading that our bodies are totally replaced about every 30 days or so. This means absolutely everything down to the last cell of every hair, muscle, and bone. Here's my question to you, what's the availability of your internal supply of building materials for doing that recycling job? Here's how I think the question applies to me. When I turned 50, I ate less quantities of food plus more fat and carbs because they're easier to find and prepare. Remember, I've been veggie for 20+ yrs. My skin started sagging, my muscles started softening, my hair started thinning, and my energy level diminished considerably. Lines and wrinkles came out of nowhere. Little aches and pains were suddenly just there. My sleep habits seemed to vary considerably. This is not anything new or revolutionary, it's just the usual story of someone getting older. Here's what I did!! I adjusted my diet to keep my inner body chemistry inside the zone. I added additional vitamins and other nonRX supplements to restore my body to its peak performance years. Absolutely everything I mentioned in the prior paragraph is being reversed. It's not a fountain of youth, but it's better than growing older in a failing, decrepit body. >>After my first pregnancy I was told that the only remedy would be a tummy tuck...I'll keep my soft flesh.<< Try doing " Crunches. " The right kinds of exercise will give you a body that causes you to burst with pride!! Here's the bottomline for me. Our bodies are a vast complex collection of natural and necessary chemicals. The information to manage them effectively is out there, but few take the time to sort thru it. If you don't do that, you get the " default " response from your body. For me, that's not enough!!
