Yes. Let your hubbie do the roof dear. From a soon to be 80 geriatric, what is wrong with being geriatric? I am so proud to be turning 80 in two weeks. Most of my friends and siblings never made it that far. So be proud as you age and are healthy. Life goes quickly but my motto is keep moving. Has worked for me, despite having RA. Keto, swimming daily and some biologics in tandem with mtx has helped me into remission for 2 years now...yah for geriatrics. It will come quickly. P.S. made the carrot keto muffins and just great...regards and enjoy your videos a lot. From Canada.
❤❤❤ i struggle to eat enough protein too. I'm trying to make myself be consistent with at least 10 minutes of exercise everyday. I'm 76 and i dont want my remaining years to be weak and disabled.
In the winter when it’s too cold to go out, consider being inefficient. My mom is so efficient. She’s actually hurting her help. She’s had her physical therapist. Tell her to simply stand up and grab something every hour, but instead she will sit for four hours at a time and that’s not healthy. Also consider exercising with your arms during commercial breaks. Just getting out of the house to be involved in clubs can be exercise too. Walking to church, walking to a club/Bible study/volunteering, doing physical shopping, just was hands when you get home or before you eat/touch your face. God bless you!!!
You’re on the same track I am! All summer I’ve been working out, lifting weights, walking as much as possible, eating 100-120 grams protein per day, and focusing on strength, mobility and good sleep. Sounds like we’re kind of on the same page. I feel great and I’m looking healthier than I have in a long time!
I've been following you for a few years now and like what I see. I'm 82 years old and a little over four years ago I started keto at 290 pounds, size 52 pants. In less than a year I was 190 size 40. I was happy with that. This was done with only walking for exercise. I have since added resistance bands for exercise. I found an app by Weller that starts with a whole body 15 minute workout, before you get to the body sections. So far I'm only using the free app, but I'm thinking of signing up. My weight is up to 208 but I'm still in size 40 pants.
I love watching your videos. And I am so happy that you found the keto diet. You look great!!! I have one little suggestion is to eat clean keto. It is very hard to do, but it is well worth it. I have found that I watch Bobby Parrish and he tells you about all the ingredients and stuff. Which has helped me a lot. But I do not buy any of his products. They’re way too expensive. It is more expensive to eat this way but you will find you feel much better. I started eating this way because I was in a lot of muscle and joint pain. I am 64 years old and the pain was ridiculous but know I can say the pain is gone and I feel GREAT! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you for not waiting until the new year. Most people think they can only start at the new year. Also when starting new don't start on Monday bc it's more stressful. I had started an exercise regimen but for various reasons skipped Mondays for 3 weeks. On the 4th week I jumped up and started my exercises without realizing it was Monday. It had become a habit by then.😊
I have two friends that are pharmacist and they actually stay away from medication themselves and care a lot about helping their patients get away from the need for medication and spend time on education with each person. One of them works with a hometown pharmacy. He focuses on doing bloodwork, vitamins, and really working with individuals so they get healthier. He also sells a lot of fitness things in store along with low carb treats and high protein options. The other friend really helps people focus on the spiritual side of things as a Christian. I know it’s rare to be independent nowadays when you have a job like pharmacist it’s probably a lot more work and complicated but we do need more Amazing pharmacist that make it a goal to get people off the pharmaceuticals and on the right nutrients and lifestyle plan.
Seriously be so careful. I think it’s wise to ask for help. I know you might feel up for it, but literally when you’re younger you bounce and bones are less likely to break, however, when you’re older, you don’t recover as well. Your bones become closer and closer together and when you break, it becomes more serious. My aunt literally fell off of a ladder trying to clean out her gutters, not only did she lay there for hours and need a long and expensive hospital stay where they didn’t even wash her hair, it was a very difficult recovery process and lots of family had to help. It’s much easier to clean out the gutters for someone twice a year vs caring for them daily because they had a nasty fall. God bless you, stay wise, if you don’t have any family or money ask if your church has a volunteer group. And if you’re not currently volunteering, you can get involved volunteering too, just with something less dangerous. And lawn care and gutter cleaning can actually be more affordable than you would think, cut costs in other areas. Still focus on exercise, but in safer ways. Maybe help a younger family out while they help you out. 💕
I have listened to a zen cd at bedtime for 20 years now. I used to take forever to fall asleep and my mind would race with thoughts. Now I'm consistently asleep in minutes.
I am with you sister Annie! I took notes and am adding a few of my own. Thank you so much for the inspo. I know we will have positive results to report. Btw, love, love your channel.👍😁😄
Listen Im that little old lady you speak of. But I had a stroke in my sleep a week after losing my husband, was blind due to cararacts, and had a massive heart attack and 3 heart procedures. All since 2019. Life can be hard but you adapt. A lot of this was cvd at the base of things ramping problems up, especially after long haul. So give some of us a break, we didnt think our 60s would be like this either, but pandemics happen, triggers things. To all my cohorts battling their issues I say life is an adventure youre just going on another one.
When this life ends we live on eternally. God is a Spirit and we are spirit. God made the way for our trespassing His laws to be FORGIVEN by His Son Jesus who sacrificed to pay the price for our forgiveness because of God’s Powerful Love for us to save us from our sin so that we Might accept Jesus as our Savior and turn to Him and the Father in Heaven. You want to go to Heaven and Jesus is the Way. Pray to Jesus and ask Him. Father God created us to know Him and be with Him. He is only Good.
@hollikrebs oh, shut up and go away. She either doesn't believe or 'knows' this already. Your comments won't change anything and are for your benefit, not anyone else's
@@hollikrebs ty for your thoughts. Although I do not believe my health issues are due to sin per se, they are lesson bringers. Sometimes some of us have to endure illness and weakness to be the persons to inspire others to charity of action and care.
@@blukatzen sorry for interjecting here but maybe they did not mean it like that. They may just be a Christian sharing the gospel just in case you don't know Jesus Christ personally. 😉🥰

I bet walking will help with falling asleep. For me, it clears the 'log jam' of thoughts in my head :). Plus my dogs need it. That's the real motivator.
Great goals...except for the gutters! My fearless Granny fell off her roof at 84...but happily landed in her very soft garden and wasn't injured. She remained active but stayed off of ladders and lived in good health for many more years.
Okay, so I cheated. I had gastric sleeve surgery. I have a multitude of health issues (21 different meds a day). I was trying so hard to lose weight but couldn't do it. I have followed you for a while and always love your recipes. I went from 230 down to 164 (target weight of 158 - I'm only 5'8"). I am glad you are showing health recipes - I now have to eat low fat, low carb and high protein diet. I guess I am posting just to let you know that I appreciate what you do and look forward to all your post! Thank you
Getting to sleep at a decent hour has always been a struggle for me. My brain has a hard time shutting down too. Because I’m so busy during the day I tend to consider after 9 pm, when the kids go to sleep, as my me time. That’s when I too am on my phone scrolling. It’s 1 a.m. and I’m watching this video! I love every one of your ideas and I am going to do what I can to implement them into my daily routine. Thanks for all the great suggestions.
I feel like we are spirit sisters. 😊 Yes and yes almost all your goals are and have been mine since last summer. I started with baby steps too and it’s the only way to go. My hurdle now is the sleep and my brain also won’t hushhhh when I want to sleep. I’m going to copy you here and stay off my phone after 9 as I also get up at 530am. Great plan and I really like the content of this video. Looking forward to an update. You got this girl.
Ive tried all the posture gadgets. None of them really worked for me so hopefully you have better luck. I just try to make it a habit by telling myself “beautiful posture” - leave youself little notes - like in your car when you’re sitting and running errands- That’s a perfect time to sit up straight and you can put a reminder right on your dash. Some professionals say the braces can make your muscles weaker and TBH they all cut into my arm pits. Stretching and habit are the best thing you can do. I also see the chiropractor and get massages… I also like this gadget called the back pod. It helps posture. I use it for the neck hump LOL Let us know what works for you!! 🎉
Word of caution…. While support devices r helpful for a short time (injury) long term r not as ur own muscles become weaker and lazy creating more problems after discontinuing. Back stretch, rowing motions with and without resistance is the most beneficial short and long term 😊
I sometimes use a backpack with a weight in it while I'm sitting or standing. It naturally pulls your shoulders down and back and puts you in a very nice posture. I really enjoy the feeling. You'd be amazed how quickly that trains your back.
Thanks for this! I turned 65 today and am contemplating a reset since I've been on a lengthy weight stall and am inconsistent with fitness. This was good info and today was perfect timing! I'll be swapping out coffee creamer for the Premier protein caramel shake + LMNT chocolate.
Your timing for this is perfect. I just lost 22lbs on keto. Im feeling good and ready to take on the next challenge- strength and mobility. Please keep posting about this! I want to do this with you. Thank you for all that you do to share your journey with us. Much appreciated!
Love the protein drink for creamer idea!!!!! Instruggle with trying to eat anything for morning meals as I eat a later dinner. I recently pulled my rebounder out and considered donating until I found a Ytuber with routines to music I like. Sooooooo much fun! Love your hair also 😍
Feeling sleep deprived when my 97 year old mom ended up in hospital, my doctor suggested sleeping pills. I don't like to take them because my mind still feels groggy upon waking. Thankfully, my heath food store had a better suggestion when she realized stress was inhibiting me from my usual eight hours of sleep. I took ashwagandha for several months and it helped. Now I know that when my mind is racing, I take one a couple of hours before bedtime and my dreams are back. As a senior with recent replacement parts due to heavy factory work, I have also been on a similar journey for the last few years. I look forward to new ideas to better my overall wellness. Your recipes have helped my adjust in the kitchen. Thank you. 🤗
Your hair looks great!😊Great tips. Holy carb! How many pills/vitamins? 😅 That looks like a lot. Lighting helps. It helps to lower lighting as it gets darker outside. Programmable lighting is the best. You can dim it by percentage by hour or whatever you want.
Great goals. I like the way you’re thinking of implementing. Thanks. Totally agree about the pill box. It is handy if i really want to take those supplements.
You should try rebounding on a mini trampoline with bungee strings,really good for the lymphatic system and good on your joints,good for the core ,balance and burns as much as running. I’ve been doing it since May and now I’m addicted(started doing for 5 minutes a day,now up to 30 mins) it’s really fun,lots of videos on you tube too,gives me so much energy and now I’ve incorporated weights also. I have never found exercise I like so wouldn’t do it. Now I can’t help but get on my rebounder (first thing in the morning,I love what it does for me) I’m 52 from New Zealand
You are radiating Annie!! This is timely! You just inspired me to do the same and dial in some of the goals that I’ve been lagging on. Do you use an app to track your macros? You might want to have your hormones checked. I had a constellation of symptoms that almost immediately resolved since I stayed HRT 5 weeks ago (age 56) All the best!
You’ve given me some good ideas. I’ve been lax with my diet for the last 6-8 weeks because of trying to clear my husband’s mother’s apartment due to her sudden need for assisted living/memory care. One advantage has been quadrupled activity, though anxiety that disrupts sleep and eating out more frequently due to fatigue seems to override that benefit. As I get back on track, I’m grateful for my supplement plan, though I have to admit that I missed a couple of days in these past few weeks. Besides my thyroid and anti cancer meds, I take only 5 supplements in pill form. My calcium, vitamin D, omega-3’s and a multivitamin are patches. I was skeptical at first whether they would work. My oncologist agreed to test levels before and 6 months after using the patches. He and I were both impressed with how well they worked for me. I know patches don’t work for everyone, but I was thrilled, especially with the increase in my vitamin D levels. Mine used to be quite low , even taking 10,000 IU/day. (Hmm, maybe why I developed cancer in the first place.?) Now, it’s upper mid range. Not optimal, but almost 2x what it was before. While things aren’t yet stable, my increased activity level has gone down. To compensate, I’ve set alarms to remind me to move - even if only to walk around my kitchen island 40 times (roughly 500 steps. Works while making supper 😅) Obviously other exercises and stretching is needed so using your suggestions so perhaps setting alarms for these might also be beneficial.
Take B1 at night-helps you sleep as well as adrenal help. So you eat 3 meals a day? I've been keto/low carb for years-lost 35 lbs but do IF. I thought you did IF as well, did you include 3 meals to increase protein? And how did you do that bc I'm not hungry for breakfast. I eat around 12-2pm my first meal. I too want to increase my mobility to prevent falls and such.
I got a rebounder its so much fun and I can do that in the house in the winter its good for your lymphatic system everytime you jump you open the lymphatic system so it can drain even though I lost weight on a keto diet I just think plant based high fiber is healthier with nuts and seeds
Good for you!! I pray you are successful in meeting your goals. I like that they all seem feasible and manageable. PS- I clean my own gutters on our 3-story house. The view is amazing up there. Sometimes I sit on the edge and dangle my feet when I'm done.😆😆
When I had to take Daniel to the school bus I would nap for two or three hours prior and get my regular sleep while he was in school. I woke up in time to pick him up from the school bus. Now that is Lee's job. Mine is to be the income earner. I plan to take a Construction course in the Spring. First I need at least 3 more work-appropriate pants and to figure out how I will get to class. If I qualify for the Ocular program, I could drive myself to class. If not, I will see if I still can ride a bike as it is the second fastest way to get to places. My bust was proportional sizes the time I rode a bike. Now they are proportionally too large.
Kettle focus, if you find yourself hunched over your computer all day, then there is a solution. You can buy a desk that you can sit at sometimes or stand at sometimes. The desktop can be raised up to a standing position. I had one when I worked in a call center. Standing up sometimes really did help my posture, there is nothing worse than sitting at your desk for eight hours or more every day.
Did you get a weave on hair always wanted to do that? Looks very pretty! Thanks Jennifer 😊You are so true! I am in my 5os care giver keep moving!! You will pay if you don't!
Look up the Starting Strength weight lifting program (Mark Rippetoe). Deadlifts and squats once a week along with other hands on weight training and walking have helped me to keep my strength and overall good health in ways I could never believe. Love your content ❤
My balance and posture has improved since switching to barefoot shoes. Xero has a good variety of shoes that are reasonably priced compared to other companies. Good luck on your goals
Warn chamomile tea helps me to fall asleep and/or concentrate of the word relax and feel your body sink into the bed. When on the computer, sit at the edge of your seat, thighs parallel to the floor lessens a hunch back and I become more aware of my abs. Just stuff that helps living life easier.
I have to take a ton of pills every day due to rheumatoid arthritis (my mobility and pain is only going to continue to get worse no matter how much I exercise and despite eating all the protein in the world), and they affect my cognition. So, to remember to take them, I also use pill boxes, but I keep them on my desk right at the top of my keyboard. They're right there in front of my face where I spend most of my time. If I kept them in a cupboard, I'd never take them. Out of sight, out of mind. I also portion out 7 weeks worth at a time (I "inherited" 3 of them when my MIL passed), so I only have to fill them up once every month and a half.
Not all probiotics are the same. In multivitamins Mfr usually uses cheap ingredients like calcium carbonate, Ascorbic acid, etc., and heads up, do not take a B-12 with a name I cant spell but starts will a C.
A word of advice. Rather than focusing on this notion of "core strengthening", just go to the gym and lift HEAVY weights. Every muscle associated with the "core" is a postural muscle that works while you are sitting and standing anyway so use your limited time resources and focus on what will both benefit your muscle mass and "core muscles" without a nuanced goal of "core work". In my personal opinion as a practitioner of 35+ years, this "core focus" has become the new catch-phrase to keep recurrent patient visits in many rehab clinics.
My husband hates when I get on the roof but somebody's got to do it and I'm not about to pay somebody. My dad used to put me on the roof to clean the chimney flu when I was 14 because he was afraid of heights. 😂 I really need to get up there and brush the Moss off.
Lol, I'm 60 and already super flexible due to ehlers danlos so I always have to laugh when flexibility is brought up. It requires no strength to be flexible. I get no benefits from it. On the contrary, my ankles and knees go any direction they want and muscle doesn't help. I just have to stick to vitamins and protein, really. I also get no help from grocery stores. They just look at you funny when asking for help and say no one is available. I even asked for one clerk to open a bottle for me and she refused. So yeah, that's off the the table.
That is Your situation, and does not apply to everyone. Flexibility improves the strength surrounding the muscle such as ligaments, which supports your muscles.
I agree. I just had my 69th birthday last week and I can still lean over and place my hands flat on the floor in front of me. I am, however, unsteady on my feet due to joint issues and the same "flexibility" that allows me to do all kinds of interesting things is also responsible for my knees buckling and bending sideways (exacerbated by my arthritis which has caused me to be bone on bone since my 30s). Having said all of that, it's not what Annie's talking about when she speaks of flexibility. And I applaud her desire to improve her health even further. I would only caution to move in baby steps. Moving too fast, too soon results in injuries, some lasting a lifetime.
That's depressing, where do you live that people are such jerks 😱 I guess they don't care about accountability if someone gets hurt on their property?!
I would really like your opinion on things like CoQ10 and Biotin(hair loss). I've been taking Biotin for hair for over a year and have not seen any improvement. I am ready to do the exercizes, at 80 I need to keep going-
Yes. Let your hubbie do the roof dear. From a soon to be 80 geriatric, what is wrong with being geriatric? I am so proud to be turning 80 in two weeks. Most of my friends and siblings never made it that far. So be proud as you age and are healthy. Life goes quickly but my motto is keep moving. Has worked for me, despite having RA.

Try taking Magnesium Glycinate 400mg 1 hour before bedtime. This has helped me fall asleep at night.

Your timing for this is perfect. I just lost 22lbs on keto. Im feeling good and ready to take on the next challenge- strength and mobility. Please keep posting about this! I want to do this with you. Thank you for all that you do to share your journey with us. Much appreciated!
You go girl! I so wish earlier in my life I had this mindset. I wish you all the success. This has motivated me as well. God bless 😊
Great goals! I have heard all of the same things. So important. You have re-energized me.
Excellent advice for managing blood sugar.
Love the protein drink for creamer idea!!!!! Instruggle with trying to eat anything for morning meals as I eat a later dinner. I recently pulled my rebounder out and considered donating until I found a Ytuber with routines to music I like. Sooooooo much fun! Love your hair also 😍
may I suggest just turn down the sound on youtube and put your own music on. follow the routine visually with music you love! that's what I had to do.
Feeling sleep deprived when my 97 year old mom ended up in hospital, my doctor suggested sleeping pills. I don't like to take them because my mind still feels groggy upon waking. Thankfully, my heath food store had a better suggestion when she realized stress was inhibiting me from my usual eight hours of sleep. I took ashwagandha for several months and it helped. Now I know that when my mind is racing, I take one a couple of hours before bedtime and my dreams are back. As a senior with recent replacement parts due to heavy factory work, I have also been on a similar journey for the last few years. I look forward to new ideas to better my overall wellness. Your recipes have helped my adjust in the kitchen. Thank you. 🤗
Thank you
Your hair looks great!😊Great tips. Holy carb! How many pills/vitamins? 😅 That looks like a lot. Lighting helps. It helps to lower lighting as it gets darker outside. Programmable lighting is the best. You can dim it by percentage by hour or whatever you want.
Great goals. I like the way you’re thinking of implementing. Thanks. Totally agree about the pill box. It is handy if i really want to take those supplements.
This is all in ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear.
A great book 😊
You should try rebounding on a mini trampoline with bungee strings,really good for the lymphatic system and good on your joints,good for the core ,balance and burns as much as running.
I’ve been doing it since May and now I’m addicted(started doing for 5 minutes a day,now up to 30 mins) it’s really fun,lots of videos on you tube too,gives me so much energy and now I’ve incorporated weights also. I have never found exercise I like so wouldn’t do it. Now I can’t help but get on my rebounder (first thing in the morning,I love what it does for me) I’m 52 from New Zealand
Looking forward to hearing about the posture bra. My posture is horrible and I need to do something about it.
Sounds like some great goals! Thanks for sharing and prayers for success. - Michelle
You are radiating Annie!!
This is timely! You just inspired me to do the same and dial in some of the goals that I’ve been lagging on.
Do you use an app to track your macros?
You might want to have your hormones checked. I had a constellation of symptoms that almost immediately resolved since I stayed HRT 5 weeks ago (age 56)
All the best!
I love your channel! In addition to the wonderful recipes It also keeps me so motivated.
I'm with you on this journey!!!
You’ve given me some good ideas. I’ve been lax with my diet for the last 6-8 weeks because of trying to clear my husband’s mother’s apartment due to her sudden need for assisted living/memory care.
One advantage has been quadrupled activity, though anxiety that disrupts sleep and eating out more frequently due to fatigue seems to override that benefit.
As I get back on track, I’m grateful for my supplement plan, though I have to admit that I missed a couple of days in these past few weeks. Besides my thyroid and anti cancer meds, I take only 5 supplements in pill form. My calcium, vitamin D, omega-3’s and a multivitamin are patches. I was skeptical at first whether they would work. My oncologist agreed to test levels before and 6 months after using the patches. He and I were both impressed with how well they worked for me. I know patches don’t work for everyone, but I was thrilled, especially with the increase in my vitamin D levels. Mine used to be quite low , even taking 10,000 IU/day. (Hmm, maybe why I developed cancer in the first place.?) Now, it’s upper mid range. Not optimal, but almost 2x what it was before.
While things aren’t yet stable, my increased activity level has gone down. To compensate, I’ve set alarms to remind me to move - even if only to walk around my kitchen island 40 times (roughly 500 steps. Works while making supper 😅)
Obviously other exercises and stretching is needed so using your suggestions so perhaps setting alarms for these might also be beneficial.
Thanks for sharing your goals. I want to be down 110 pounds by end of October
Take B1 at night-helps you sleep as well as adrenal help. So you eat 3 meals a day? I've been keto/low carb for years-lost 35 lbs but do IF. I thought you did IF as well, did you include 3 meals to increase protein? And how did you do that bc I'm not hungry for breakfast. I eat around 12-2pm my first meal. I too want to increase my mobility to prevent falls and such.
Thanks for this video. It is an inspiration. I will start to make a few changes. 😊
I need to be doing the same things you’re doing! I struggle with protein and I’m 65
I have a difficult time meeting my protein goals no matter how hard I try! I started daily exercise a few months ago it has helped with my sleep
Looking forward to following along on your next few months. I have similar goals. Will you be opening up your Patreon for new members soon? 💕
I got a rebounder its so much fun and I can do that in the house in the winter its good for your lymphatic system everytime you jump you open the lymphatic system so it can drain even though I lost weight on a keto diet I just think plant based high fiber is healthier with nuts and seeds
Good for you!! I pray you are successful in meeting your goals. I like that they all seem feasible and manageable. PS- I clean my own gutters on our 3-story house. The view is amazing up there. Sometimes I sit on the edge and dangle my feet when I'm done.😆😆
You look great 😊
Yes joining
When I had to take Daniel to the school bus I would nap for two or three hours prior and get my regular sleep while he was in school. I woke up in time to pick him up from the school bus. Now that is Lee's job. Mine is to be the income earner. I plan to take a Construction course in the Spring. First I need at least 3 more work-appropriate pants and to figure out how I will get to class. If I qualify for the Ocular program, I could drive myself to class. If not, I will see if I still can ride a bike as it is the second fastest way to get to places. My bust was proportional sizes the time I rode a bike. Now they are proportionally too large.
Kettle focus, if you find yourself hunched over your computer all day, then there is a solution. You can buy a desk that you can sit at sometimes or stand at sometimes. The desktop can be raised up to a standing position. I had one when I worked in a call center. Standing up sometimes really did help my posture, there is nothing worse than sitting at your desk for eight hours or more every day.
Thankyou Anne appreciate ❤😊
This is great content 👏👏 Thank you so much ❤
Did you get a weave on hair always wanted to do that? Looks very pretty! Thanks Jennifer 😊You are so true! I am in my 5os care giver keep moving!! You will pay if you don't!
I try to be active every day. I am almost 66 and have eaten keto to 7 yrs but I try to keep my protein up around 160 as that's my lean mass.
Look up the Starting Strength weight lifting program (Mark Rippetoe). Deadlifts and squats once a week along with other hands on weight training and walking have helped me to keep my strength and overall good health in ways I could never believe. Love your content ❤
Pill box, gotcha ❤
Love your goals!
My balance and posture has improved since switching to barefoot shoes. Xero has a good variety of shoes that are reasonably priced compared to other companies. Good luck on your goals
Warn chamomile tea helps me to fall asleep and/or concentrate of the word relax and feel your body sink into the bed. When on the computer, sit at the edge of your seat, thighs parallel to the floor lessens a hunch back and I become more aware of my abs. Just stuff that helps living life easier.
I have to take a ton of pills every day due to rheumatoid arthritis (my mobility and pain is only going to continue to get worse no matter how much I exercise and despite eating all the protein in the world), and they affect my cognition. So, to remember to take them, I also use pill boxes, but I keep them on my desk right at the top of my keyboard. They're right there in front of my face where I spend most of my time. If I kept them in a cupboard, I'd never take them. Out of sight, out of mind. I also portion out 7 weeks worth at a time (I "inherited" 3 of them when my MIL passed), so I only have to fill them up once every month and a half.
I have always been a firm believer you should eat your vitamin and mineral requirements from Whole Foods. My labs have always been normal
Not all probiotics are the same. In multivitamins
Mfr usually uses cheap ingredients like calcium carbonate,
Ascorbic acid, etc., and heads up, do not take a B-12 with a name I cant spell but starts will a C.
Your hair is so pretty!!:)
I miss seeing you!
I've been using premier drinks in my coffee for years! Got me off of sugary creamers!
I'm 70 and I'm not old! 😂
Premier protien has oil read the ingredients
Atomic Habits
A word of advice.
Rather than focusing on this notion of "core strengthening", just go to the gym and lift HEAVY weights. Every muscle associated with the "core" is a postural muscle that works while you are sitting and standing anyway so use your limited time resources and focus on what will both benefit your muscle mass and "core muscles" without a nuanced goal of "core work". In my personal opinion as a practitioner of 35+ years, this "core focus" has become the new catch-phrase to keep recurrent patient visits in many rehab clinics.
Hair looks pritty . . .😎
Great ideas - but that premier protein drink has lots of unhealthy ingredients, just fyi.
You & Lara Trump could be Sisters. Your hair is fabulous 👌
Stay off the roof. Injuries are often serious, but can be fatal. It can happen to anyone who gets on a roof.
aaaaand there is nothing wrong in asking for assistance. keeps us in our feminine energy ha!
I agree, stay off the roof.
My husband hates when I get on the roof but somebody's got to do it and I'm not about to pay somebody. My dad used to put me on the roof to clean the chimney flu when I was 14 because he was afraid of heights. 😂 I really need to get up there and brush the Moss off.
Somebody's gotta do it. Get after it. Equality!
@@jeffpittman8725 Right? Bad choices is an equal opportunity employer. 😂
Want a strong core? Belly dancing!
Lol, I'm 60 and already super flexible due to ehlers danlos so I always have to laugh when flexibility is brought up. It requires no strength to be flexible. I get no benefits from it. On the contrary, my ankles and knees go any direction they want and muscle doesn't help. I just have to stick to vitamins and protein, really. I also get no help from grocery stores. They just look at you funny when asking for help and say no one is available. I even asked for one clerk to open a bottle for me and she refused. So yeah, that's off the the table.
That is Your situation, and does not apply to everyone. Flexibility improves the strength surrounding the muscle such as ligaments, which supports your muscles.
As someone w eds too, resistance training is key to combating the issues from eds.
I agree. I just had my 69th birthday last week and I can still lean over and place my hands flat on the floor in front of me. I am, however, unsteady on my feet due to joint issues and the same "flexibility" that allows me to do all kinds of interesting things is also responsible for my knees buckling and bending sideways (exacerbated by my arthritis which has caused me to be bone on bone since my 30s).
Having said all of that, it's not what Annie's talking about when she speaks of flexibility. And I applaud her desire to improve her health even further. I would only caution to move in baby steps. Moving too fast, too soon results in injuries, some lasting a lifetime.
That's depressing, where do you live that people are such jerks 😱 I guess they don't care about accountability if someone gets hurt on their property?!
😁👏👏👏
Mushrooms???? 😳🤦🏼
Go carnivore and trust me, you’ll never go back
Just found you! 👍🏼🩷 so excited to see your information about protein and supplement health!
Definitely going to check out the Gem bites!
Take care
I would really like your opinion on things like CoQ10 and Biotin(hair loss). I've been taking Biotin for hair for over a year and have not seen any improvement. I am ready to do the exercizes, at 80 I need to keep going-
