Hi, i did sign up for Silver Sneakers at my local gym. i signed up for yoga classes, to get healthy and keep good with my balance. and to do pool exercises i found out iam not a machine kind of person and i do not like running. But, due health problems right now im going through a lot, my goal it to start in April and try doing it until i can get it right. I have made changes to my eating habits, trying to find classes for healthy eating is proven hard. Anyone have any suggestions?
Anyway, sorry about the ramblings. Don't give up on the medical field just yet, there are some who feel that once you are over the age of 60, that you should just go quietly into the night. I dont plan on doing that!!! I will continue to speak up! Don't accept no for an answer.

@gracer, I wonder if you might like to join the Virtual Walking Group here:
- Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group

I'll get us started with some tips:
- Eating well: have ready-made healthy snacks available like cut up veggies and hummus dip or apple and cheese. If I have these things available and ready to eat, I don't grab the salty crackers or cookies or other not-so-healthy options.
- Physical activity: find people and activities you enjoy. If you like doing it, you're more likely to stick to it. Doing it with others helps, especially on those days you don't want to work out.

Grace, have you returned to the pool or yoga?
