    Good mornin' all.. an aching day today; my evening shift of the double yesterday got the better of me. Another double today and I'm starting it with a fruit smoothie. I ran out of yogurt though..THAT hasn't happened in forever.

    Feel free to add away, I'm not the best logger in the food department (still a work in progress) but I'm getting there.

    Good morning. This is my second time on MFP. First time around I dropped 70# and then life caught up with me and I got lazy. Added about 30# back. So I’m back at it again.

    Morning run is done. Body feels 'ugh'....no real pain or misery, just a general sense of things not feeling as right as they could be. Still on a quest for running shoes.

    Saw a sign in the bagel shop window that said, "Free coffee for daylight savings time change". My thoughts were, in this random order: 1. *kitten*, spring ahead already?; 2. I like coffee; 3. Wonder how many calories are in a bagel?"

    But as my running idol, Dean Karnazes, says, "There is magic in misery." So, a tough run is a good thing ;)

    Shoes...My favorite right now is Asics Gel Nimbus...but you have to find what is right for you.

    Lastly...sometimes the bagel is worth it...sometimes not. Have a good Monday!

    Hi ancients! I certainly felt ancient yesterday (before collapsing into bed at 8:30pm). We had a fitness challenge at karate - the adults were in the age category 19 years and up. There were 4 of us women and two of them were younguns (19 - 22). The challenge was doing as many reps of the exercise (there were 5 different types) in 1 minute. I nearly died!!! But! Big butt! I won two of the five categories and came second in the other three. I showed them young whippper snappers!

    Great idea for a group! I’m 41 and struggling again! Seems like with each year the metabolism slows more and more!

    Hello all. I have come back to mfp after being gone for 6 years. Unfortunately I gained back all but 2 pounds of what I lost last time(course it took 6 years so guess that is a plus). Anyway, feel free to add me. I am 43 and looking to have some friends to push me through this journey.

    Omg am I now middle aged? So dreadful :) I just turned 45 and I have to admit it hurt a little. You never think you’ll be 45 when you’re in your 20’s.

    Hello everyone - Recently turned 37, mother of 2 college freshmen, and just trying to take back control of my fitness and be disciplined. The biggest issue I have at the moment is not eating enough calories, which I also believe isn't helping my weight loss goal. Open to any meal prep suggestions that will help me reach the minimum 1200 HEALTHY calorie per day intake. Thanks and all the best with everyone's fitness journey. :)
