Okay over 50 and can't drop the weight!

I can do 30 reps with 10 lb dumbbells.
Try switching that up to 15 reps with 15 lbs...

Oh, that was just something we did in class today--just a random example. I like lots of variety in my exercise.

Yes, I eat oatmeal every day, too, with dried fruit and nuts. I won't give up my brown sugar in it, though! I have to have SOME vice!

I would be very happy eating a certain set of foods with variations on occasion. I haven't gotten tired of oatmeal in about 18 months of eating it every day. I could never get tired of hot and salty french fries, either. But I have tired of salads. In the winter time, they're the hardest thing for me to eat, because I like hot food. I'm going to spend a lot of time learning about soups this winter. yummy.

Queen, I've been taking Christiane Northrup's advice and eating "meat as a condiment". Of course, that means more plant-based food. This lets you off the hook when people offer a slab of ribs at a cook-out when they notice your plate piled high with veggies, which happened to me at a tailgate party this weekend. I can still have some of all the meat I like the most, so I don't feel deprived at all.
