Happy New Year everyone. I fell asleep before counting it in, my body is on autopilot and follows the routine of bed early and up early. I will be in the gym in a little bit and I hope everyone has a bless one. I hope to reach my goal of being physically fit, staying fit and eating healthier. I must do this because I am not getting any younger. I look forward to the challenge and the success. Enjoy your day and have a blessed one.0

Happy New Year Everybody!!!!
Margie and Sister have gone to Panama City shopping, so I have a long day of football and cooking ahead of me. I made a ham and cheese quiche {with Greek yogurt} this morning before they left. It turned out pretty good. The black eyed peas are on cooking now, and the hot sausage and crab meat is thawing for my gumbo. I'm being a little lazy and using canned chicken.
I've done most of my cardio, but still have my lifting to do. Since I have already ate breakfast, I may have to do an abbreviated session this morning. I do better when I get it out of the way first thing.
Hope everyone has a great day, and healthy and fit year,
Larro

Hi! 54 y.o. female here. I love your profile picture!! Is that your pet rabbit? I'm crazy about bunnies! A few months ago adopted my 2nd one, a 6 yr old mini rex.
Welcome to the group! We can all support each other here!

What a gorgeous dog! I'll bet he/she was happy to go for a walk. Good for you!0 -
Company leaves tomorrow....so, saturday is back-to-the-gym!0

Hey guys.
Welcome to the new guys. Stop by and say hello, and you are in.
Kate, I love the picture.
Beeps, I love it when company leaves. I'm just a touch anti-social. It's not that I don't like people, I just don't like them being where I'm at.
Sister and BIL came over to eat supper and watch the FSU game. Neither of them are Nole fans, so they didn't share my pain when we stunk it up
I did get my lifting done, but it was a long drawn out affair mixed in with cooking. {The gumbo turned out real good. Pictures @ What's for Supper???}
I forgot my Thursday numbers earlier. They are:
21.9% Body Fat
56.9% Body Water
24.5 BMI
175.3 Pounds
That is 0.7 pounds gained for the week, all of which I gained since yesterday morning.
Hope everyone had a good day,

Happy New Year Cool Kids!
Hurray for us all. There has been some amazing Cool Kid accomplishments in 2014, and I know 2015 will be no different!
Larro, I hope you enjoyed your day of cooking and football (sorry about the Alabama game -- and go Ducks!). Gumbo sounds awesome, and I'm sure the canned chicken will be just fine. Good job on keeping up the schedule.
Caramel, have you thawed out yet? Brrrrritos! I know the dog was appreciative of your sacrifice. What's your gym challenge for NY?
Mzklutch, I'm with you. Early to bed/rise kinda girl. We don't even pretend to try to stay up on NYeve. We usually get woken by revelers and say "woo hoo", then go right back to sleep.
Beeps, I hope you enjoyed your company. Lift heavy on Saturday!
Welcome Amyrllin. I can empathise with working through an injury. Good thing you have a 4-footed therapist!
Kate, great shot of Josie! She looks so angelic. Was she right?
L8dyJ, no special sign up, just jump on in!
Welcome to the rest of the new folks.
Yesterday was just magical. We went for a NY day paddle with a few friends, and the day was perfect. The water was a beautiful color, no wind, smallish swell, so we were able to get in and around some rocks we're not usually able to get near. The common murres (threatened sea bird species) were doing their January "racetrack"...very cool to witness the thousands of birds just flying around in a circle just off the water. We think they're pairing up. They'll dissappear in a week or so, and then come back in April to nest. Then we have to stay far away from the nesting rocks so they don't spook. We also saw a peregrine falcon, sea lions, seals, and porpoises. According to Map My Fitness, all this glory, and I burned 698 calories too!
I'll be turning 50 at the end of this year, so my 2015 goal is to get to my goal weight before my birthday.
Tomorrow I'm taking Buttercup (my yellow motorcycle) out!
Cheers to everyone else as you check in today.0 -

Mine is September but I'm telling myself I'm 50 already so I get used to the idea:)
Want to get back down to 160ish from 188.

larrodarro - I think I am anti-social! I do like going out and seeing people, but entertaining-at-home is NOT my thing! My hubby likes it, though.
George - your NYday does sound nice!
I am sick of eating. Sick of cooking. Sick of cleaning. Thank goodness nanny returns Monday!
Today is day 1 of my 30-day (diet) challenge. BOOM!0 -
I'm in...51/m here0

Hello everyone & Happy New Year!! Glad to find a group of like minded peeps on here that I can relate to. My hubby is very supportive in my weight loss journey but maybe hard for him to completely understand cause he's about 140 lbs soaking wet - jealous! I'm working on it though. I've lost 10 lbs so far - many, many more to go. Realistically, losing another 70 lbs puts me @ 150 - I'd be happy w/ that! I'm 46 (which sounds old when I say it out loud! :-) ) Losing weight seems to get harder every year. Just losing 10 lbs make a huge difference in how I feel. Makes me want to do more!
Here's to a successful 2015 for all of us!

Wow, scanning this thread, it looks like you kids are truly making connections on MFP! I have some friends made previously but most are no longer active as I rejoin the game. I'm a 40 yo working mom of two (ages 3 and 1). I'm of advanced maternal age (haha!) and want to be able to keep up with my kids! Savage223, I also have a slim husband (~150 lbs) and know how you feel! 20 lbs to lose and looking for ways to manage work/kids/health. Like pushing your kid on the swing then running around the swingset, repeat. So glad the holidays are over, lol! Also glad that Jan. is the coldest, darkest month for us in TX so it only gets better from here. Feel free to friend me, especially if your diary is open I wish you all the very best in 2015! We can do this!!! 0

Also does anyone enjoy a nightly glass of wine? Do you feel it slows your metabolism or can it work if you're within calorie goals?

Yes dylangrrrrl I too like to enjoy the occasional adult beverage in the evening! I have tried to limit myself to maybe one on Friday night & maybe one on Saturday. That's hard though

Morning Kid's!
dylangrrrl - Nice to meet someone else who was crazy enough to have young kids at our age . LOL. I'm 42 with one 16 yr. old introverted son and one crazy 3 yr. old daughter.
I usually forget about the wine coolers in the fridge; I've always heard a glass of wine is good for you.
Savage & dylangrrrl - My husband finally weighs more than I do so I can relate. LOL he's 5'11" and around 215 lbs. I think ( though we have both been up to the 260 range in the past ). << In his case when he was eating lunch at the Chinese buffet up to 5 days a week back then. Now our 16 yr. old is around 140 lbs. so yes I'd like to eventually weigh less than him though I'm pretty happy were I'm at now. 156 lbs. after losing 56 lbs. ( since June ).
Welcome Newbies !
It's been a great weekend here. Josie seems to have finally gotten the hang of using the potty. Tantrums have been minimal. Jonas has been hanging out/seeing friends more. Mom seems okay.
Larro- I keep seeing people making chicken tortilla soup. I think I may have to make some soon. I've gotten a little lazy lately about meal planning though I'm just trying to find a balance so I'm not making several different things for the kid's, myself, and a picky husband.
Kelly Sue - I hope the therapy is having an effect on your husband's rehab.
Courious- I told my husband the other day he needs to get me a Vespa! LOL.
Anyway I'll check back in later.

Good Morning Cool kids, my day is about to get started. I'm waiting on the Dish Network people to come and install my other box so I don't have to be imprisoned watching the stuff my husband is watching. He has joined me here in Tx finally and now I have to get readjusted to not being the only one in the house. Lol. Once my box is installed then I will head to the gym.
I am sore from my workout with the trainer on yesterday and now I need to push through it. Caramel I really admire all the hard work you do and now I am facing it too.
Larro - I am with you on the anti-social because I am ok with being with myself so when I have chance to go elsewhere rather than have people come to my house, I go to there's instead.
Beeps - good luck with the challenge, I know you'll do fine.
Curious - sounds like you been having fun and I can't wait to get my bike here so I will be hopefully having it shipped to me soon.
Welcome Savage, dylangrrrl an Tim.
Dylangrrl - I hope you are right about the weather here in Tx. I must say though, the cold we have had does not even compare to the WI cold I have come from. I have yet to put on a heavy coat. I been wearing my light jacket.
As for the alcohol, I stay away from it as much as possible because I notice when I drink it and then try to work out, I am just too sluggish. I have followed a lot of fitness building people who have mentioned the same and that is why they also stay away from it. I have something every now and then.
Good day everyone!0 -
Cardio done! ZOOM!0

Hi all,
I am also anti social. I prefer just me and my hubby and like to socialize on my terms, I always joke that I am one cat away from being a crazy cat lady! I am also shy so that does not help.
I too enjoy my wine but I do try to limit it to one or two nights a week as I find I lose control of my eating when I drink it and I don't want to exercise the next day!0 -
I'd love to join this group and need all the help I can get

....newbies whomstop in: put up a picture in your avatar space! Nobody likes "talking" to a shadow....
At least I don't.
Yesterday was terrible for eating....got my period and that usually means cravings. Which I don't fight. It is NOT worth the fight....amhik.
Anyway, fasting until 3 or 4, today and hopefully monday brings me that joie de vivre of new beginnings, heavy lifting, and calorie control!0 -
I just turned 40 in December and would love to join this group. Picture to follow...0
