my iVillage name is Cappy. I don't know why I haven't found this place sooner but at least I have now. I am a 53 yo grandmother. I no longer work but I was a preschool teacher. I exercise 5 or more days a week, either at home, the gym or walking with friends. I enjoy doing Yoga and plan on trying Pilates very soon...just have to find the time. Anyone here do Body Pump? I love that as part of my weight training routine. I make sure my husband & I eat healthy but flavorful meals but I don't deprive us of the occassional indulgence! ;o)

Any of you here that are my age know that this is a transitional time in a woman's life...as are all stages of our lives, right girls? But this time of life can be rich and full as well as very challenging. That's why I find iVillage a great place to visit to find support from women who are my peers and also women of different ages who are fun to meet. So as I read more of the posts here and get to know you I hope you will get to know me. This looks like my kinda place!

Enjoy your Saturday ladies,Cappy

Hi Cappy and welcome :)

So glad you did find us here!

This is a great place with a wonderful group of ladies .. if I say so myself

You will find lots of support, tips and help with whatever you need and more!

Not only that we all have some *fun* being *Fit & Healthy*

You sound like you are very *Fit & healthy* .. Good for you for being on track so well!

Smart not to deprieve yourself as that makes it harder to stay on track I think.

**Very well said and all so true! Let life begin

However we are fun and lovable, LOL

Looking forward to having you here with us and seeing you often :)

Have a great weekend!

Good Morning---and WELCOME to the greatest board on ivillage!!!!!!

You'll see me most often on weekends as I commute from PA to CA every week but I know what you mean about **this time in life*** as I am 64 and am having a ball---unfortunately I often get off track with my schedule but I still try. Next year when I retire (LOL--I keep saying that--324 days to go) I hope to get on a better exercise schedule--

Come back often and help the other ladies here keep me going ;)

Hi Cappy,

Welcome to the board! We're so glad you found us and are planning to join in! :)

We'd love to have you. :)

There's a *Who's Here* folder down below where a *Welcome to our Board* can tell you more about what we do but we all have different schedules etc and so what fits us best as far as posting etc. Also you might want to check out the Board Website up above called *Healthy Habits*. Several of us are there. ;)

Enjoyed your profile Cappy and we're delighted you found us and are joining in the journey for fitness and health. :) Hope to see you soon and just jump in!

TY Barb. From your profile I see that you are not far from me most weeks...we went to SF in June to see 'Wicked" at the Curran...loved it. We used to get there more often but only about twice a year now. And I grew up in PA...New Castle, over to the west near Pittsburg. So we have even more in common. Your place sounds lovely and how exciting to have designed and built it yourself.

I am fortunate that I am able to work or not as I choose since I have the world's most loving and supportive dh. I do have more time to exercise and enjoy my family. I get a little bored now and then but get over it quickly! LOL! Just remind myself why I quit (many, many reasons) and go off to find something interesting to occupy myself...like discovering this board!

See you again soon, Cappy 8(:-)

TY Golly. I am trying to read a few profiles as I go thru the posts. I know that before long I'll be familiar with everyone and jumping in here as often as I can. You are all just so much fun to be around! Cappy *<8-)X
