    Birthday is awesome, so far! Did scheduled-cardio this morn. Am at son's basketball game (I hope we win, but we're losing by 1 in 3rd quarter), and i'm off to daughter's hockey game right away.

    Nice restaurant with hubby tonight. Then a little gambling at the casino before we sleep in a lovely hotel.

    :)

    Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight!

    Happy Birthday Beeps!

    Working today and starting new diet. funny how full you can feel on so little! lol Eating right is all it takes. And dealing with pcos, hypothyroidism and insulin resistance!

    Lack of sugar is not going to bother me. Getting what I need in the fruit I eat. It's the carbs! lol I am certainly eating more veggies than I have ..... ever I think!

    time for a walk! take care cool kids! Have a super weekend!

    HELLO HELLO HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: Been MIA for a couple of days, busy busy busy. Havent even logged in my foods. :noway: I feel and look lean but my skin is not looking too good. Any suggestions? It is always something!!!! I did Bikram yesterday, lifted today. I have my grandbaby tonight until tomorrow but need to work on some Zumba choreography for Monday.

    Beeps, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have lots of fun with your hubby and hope you win lots of money at the casino. I agree with sdereski that you definitely don't look like you have 32% fat in your body. I haven't looked into that but I am glad that you have accepted it and will be working on a system to lower it!!!

    Welcome to all the newcomers!!!! :drinker:

    Have a great evening!!! :flowerforyou:

    Happy birthday Beeps! Happy to hear you are enjoying it!

    Internet has been down most of the weekend. I get so frustrated. Have been communicating with the provider, but it's been a battle. Can't wait until I have another service provider option! Ugh!

    I have worked out the past two days and eaten relatively clean, but have not logged a thing due to lack of internet.

    Good start today. Haven't worked out yet, but it's on the agenda.


    Have a great day all. Sun is shining here...clear, but crisp out there. The lake is nice and calm...am sure the gales will start soon.

    Happy Monday Cool Kids!

    David - those are fantastic results thus far! Wow! Keep up that great work. I need some of your energy to kick my *kitten* into gear.

    sims - welcome. I agree, the 50's are pretty cool as well. 53 and hanging on...for dear life at time. :tongue:

    Good weekend. Got some workouts in, yard work done, relatively clean eating and a dinner out on Saturday with friends (yeah, had some wine)

    Good start this morning - got up and did some exercise to start the day off right. Then.... an unexpected meeting with my DIL and beautiful granddaughter on my way to work. Got a kiss and smile from my little girl. Made my heart smile. :heart:

    Hi all!

    I've started my "systems" approach to my fitness/nutrition-lifestyle!

    For today, I am going to drink 12 glasses of water (minimum) and stop drinking by 6 pm. I am going to go to the gym and do a lifting session. If/when I feel "evening munchies", I will simply exit the room I am in and move to my bedroom (where "triggers" or "visual cues" just don't exist!).

    Good morning all! I'm a 42 year old mom of one. Tired of being the fat mom at school events! I've restarted a few weeks and am feeling better already.

    I've also started to just go to my bedroom at night to get away from the kitchen - it has helped!

    We're off daylight savings here. It's nice to get that extra hour of sleep but boy does it get dark early!

    David - Great progress! You're obviously doing the work!

    Sims - You are a true role model. :flowerforyou:

    Princess - Congratulations on the drop!

    Got a couple of runs and a swim in this weekend. Did my lifting too. I'm thinking today may be a rest day for me.

    Have a great rest of the day!

    HAPPY MONDAY!!!! :drinker: :drinker: My day started great with a very early Bikram Yoga session (5:45am) I normally do Bikram on Fri mornings but I am going out of town on Wed to celebrate my birthday!! I will be 50 on Monday! Going on a cruise with hubby out of Puerto Rico. I am almost done packing. I teach Zumba tonight and a lifting session tomorrow. I still plan to workout during my vacation and eat well most of the time. I am hoping to continue IF but I know that will be hard since my husband doesnt do it and will want to go eat breakfast when we get up. I can sit with a cup of coffee and watch him and everybody else eat but I know I will have to hear him complain about it. :noway: :laugh:

    Sdereski, dont you love being a Grandma. My granddaughter told me she was going to miss me when I told her I was going out of town. She is so sweet. I kept her with me this weekend. I love hugging her and kissing her.

    David, excellent job!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker:

    Sims, you look great!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Katrina, welcome!! good strategy! Keep it up, dont give up!! :flowerforyou:

    Beeps, you are very determined when you set your goals. I know you will accomplish them in no time.

    Have an excellent day!!! :flowerforyou:

    Friggin Monday again... YAY!! =)

    Beeps, hope you had a fabulous night out! Your systems seem to be in check, love it!!

    princessofredrock - when you are eating healthy, unprocessed crap, it's amazing how much food you get to eat, isn't it!! not to mention the reduction of the belly. =) Enjoy your visit with your Mom and Grandmother!!

    David - WOOHOOO!! that's an impressive loss of body fat!! how are you calculating it? Great goals inded... we all need to write some down and pin them where we can regularly see them.

    alf - turning 50?? no way :wink: your upcoming trip to celebrate sounds divine!

    I had an awesome workout on Saturday - some cardio kickboxing followed by hill sprints.. wicked one!! I am part of a challenge group and this week, I have been challenged to do 3 of Fitness Blender's 1000 calorie full body workouts, which #1 is today after work so I didn't do any lifting this morning.

    Have a fantastic Monday kids!!

    I've been using the OMRON HBF-516. I love that scale. Tell's me my body fat and muscle % (which are both more important to me than my actual weight). They're not cheap, but I really wanted something that would do more than just tell me my weight. Was a good investment for me. Keeps me properly motivated :-) I check it first thing when I wake up every morning just to make sure that I'm staying on track, and then log my results every Monday morning.

    Hey cool kids! So many birthdays, and so many awesome sounding celebrations!

    So yesterday I was looking at sports bras online, and then came back to MFP. Soon enough an REI ad shows up showing three items vertically: a sports bra, the item linked below, and another sports bra. While it does bear a certain resemblance to something Madonna might have worn back in the day, I don't think it would provide particularly good support during a HIIT class....
