    Beeps- very pretty! Somebody has good taste!

    Nice- great job with the run!

    Did my circuit workout this morning and wish I could have just stayed at the gym. So not liking my job today. :cry: It's too long of a story to bore people with. Just a difficult place to work sometimes. Oh Well...

    Have a good day all!

    Yes, my mother's day gifts, purchased by husband, are almost always jewelry! At least the kids sign the card....

    My *kitten* hurts, so my lifting session did what it was supposed to, today. I think I did 60 weighted hip thrusts....OUCH-y MAMA!

    Oh Dear! Everyone seems to be MIA today! I actually ended up coming home early today. Baby Boy was sick and Paw Paw needed some assistance. Hope everyone has a good evening.

    Today I hit the 40lb mark...only 50more to go. I feel better than I ever have before, and I can't imagine how good it is going to feel once I hit my goal!

    I am on a TEAR, today....I just have HAD it with any woman who is a MARTYR, has MARTYR-tendencies that she can't control, is MARTYR-ish. All of it.

    If *you* want to be a martyr, by all means, go to town! But then you CANNOT complain about how hard you work, how much you sacrifice, how little sleep you get, WHATEVER. Go be martyr and then stfu already!

    Now, since NOBODY here at 40+ is a martyr, hopefully it is gonna be OKAY that I wrote that!

    Aww Kelly - I'm sorry to hear about the kiddo - hope he is feeling better real soon.

    LOL Beeps - actually...... jk - I'm am guilty of being too nice sometimes, not even CLOSE to martyr but I offer my help too much then I'm like WTF was I thinking because others jump to let someone else take it all on so they don't have to and then I'm stuck getting it ALL done. I have had to learn to say I can't do any more than I am.

    Hit the gym today for some treadmill intervals and a few rounds of body weight exercises (Squats, planks and push up variations) Felt good! Just needed to do something different.

    Nice job zman! Keep it going!!

    Well been back at work for 10 days and haven't reported in to the cool kids yet!.
    Still heading downhill with my weight.. hit a few bumps with a particularly boozy night before I came away, but at least being here at work gets me off the booze for a month. Normally I try to limit it to a glass of wine with dinner, but a couple of dinner parties and that went out the window!
    Still I have logged for over 100 days now and have kept logging as well as I can when I'm away, making best guesses as to what I'm actually eating. But my ideas of portion sizes are so much better for weighing everything while at home.

    Keep up the good work everyone

    Welcome to the new folks! It's bright and sunny here today. Hopefully I can sneak a walk in on my lunch break. Jake is staying home with Daddy today- that should be interesting- we're taking bets on how long it will be before he calls his mother! :laugh: He was so tired when I got home yesterday and had a very nasty upset tummy. Hoping today will be better.

    Beeps- sorry to hear that you are having a problem with someone with "Martyr syndrome". It's all too easy to get caught up in sometimes. I always figure that I do what I can and if someone else thinks that they work harder or whatever, that's on them. I know that I am doing just fine!

    Handy- great job on the continued weight loss. I'll be hoping on the scale "Officially" on Friday, but I do weigh sometimes during the week and am liking what I see so far this week. We'll see what happens on Friday...

    How have I not seen this thread before? So glad to find the cool kids' hangout! :smokin:
    I suffered with martyr syndrome in my 20s... You know, because I was the ONLY one at my workplace who actually CAAAARED. Thankfully, I got over it. :ohwell:

    Good morning cool kids!! It is my birthday today. No big plans as I have to work all day, but celebrating with my whole family this weekend. Jake stayed home another day today so I am going to see him on my lunch break instead of taking a walk. Miss the little guy! Back to the gym tomorrow.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Hi all! I'm 49, need to lose between 35 and 50 lbs. 35 would put me at a good weight but 50 is the weight I was when I was very thin and fit. I haven't weighed 105 in about 25 years! I'm 61.5".
