40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Kate7294

Hey Kid's !
Thought I check in. Still maintaining though I keep re-gaining/re-losing the last 6 lbs.
Just cleared out and painted Josie's playroom for another teenager. I asked my son how his friend Dillon was doing we hadn't seen him in a while. He said he was staying in a homeless shelter. I was like WHAT ? No. You tell him to come here/call us. So we'll have a 18 year old living here soon; he's a senior. I was really happy Jeff re-acted the same way I did. He even told Jonas to let us know when graduation was; He needs someone there when he walks across the stage. Dillon said he'd invited his parents but didn't know if they were coming or not. I just don't understand people sometimes.
Josie also took her pre-k test tuesday; So I'm patiently waiting to see if she was accepted or not. I plan to dance naked in the street when she goes. LOL. Though I may give it a few days to see if they call me to come get her first.

Anyway....
KelllieSue - Your doing great hun but be sure to ask for help if you need it. Care giving can be very tiring.

Well gotta get motivated. Josie's running around in her underwear. Kid's always changing clothes.

Hey Kids,

Hope all of you are well.

Kate, I was wondering where you were. You never cease to amaze me with your wit. Be careful dancing naked in the streets, you may end up on youtube or pinterest and/or the other dozen or so social media siites....Very kind of you to open your home. I hope Dillon appreciates what all of you are doing for him.

TRX KICKED ALL OF MY BUTT AND THOUGHTS YESTERDAY. In between the straps we had these brutal cardio circuits that involved all kind of squats, box jumps and the like. I ran with the dog after I got home from TRX and then walked. When I have those serious bouts of energy I make the best of it, so I can sleep. Today is a rest day for sure.

Have a great day everyone.

hello, hello to all you kids! It has been a busy week, between track practices & meets, spring band and chorus concerts, work and appointments I am maxed. Did get in a really great workout on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were a wash, today was supposed to be gym at 4:30 and I got uprooted and never made it. Have a had a great week with eating though. I have soooo increased my veggie and fruit intake the last couple of weeks. Slow an steady wins the race, right?

So glad to read all your posts! Brought smiles to my face along the way and some chuckles. Great going to all of you!

Wow there has been a lot going on since I last had a chance to check in. Sounds like things are moving right along. Awesome!

Had a busy week, so far I've done two runs on the treadmill during lunch...Monday was 45 minutes and did 5.24 kms and today was 38 minutes 4.3 kms. Allowed myself to have some treats, seems to be the week for donut holes and cakes. One of the supervisors in my department is retiring tomorrow so yesterday we had our department celebration for her, with cake, and today was the company one, with cake...oh and there was a night out last night paid for by one of our vendors, nachos (none of those), perrogies (none if those), alcoholic drinks (none) and wings (yup had those). So still lots of walks with Kali and keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning when I check my weight.

jingerbird

I'm 42 and new to MFP. I would love to be a member of this group. I have lost almost 140lbs over the last few years and still have a way to go to reach my target. The more I lose, the harder it seems to get lol.

I am have been a single mother (he's in college now) but I have a new relationship for almost a year and I have started gaining weight since, but I am determined to get myself moving in the right direction again. Any help greatly appreciated

nickpnh

AP - Nice job breaking the 100. Welcome Jinger.
Kate - you're amazing. Having been one of those kids (not homeless but not wanting to go home for very good reasons) you're making an impact.
Great job all.
Missy has gotten herself in trouble thinking little people (kiddos) are puppies. She is lucky she is a quick study. After one hour clicker/treat training, she listened to my son's NO this morning. Now to get her not to start in the first place. I upped her exercise too - 2.35 miles by geodistance.com track. My phone was way off saying over 3 miles 19 min jogging, 22 walking - average of 3.4mph. I AM SOOOO SLOW :-(
Work time...

Hurray! It's Friday! I walked my road today with it's hellacious hills! It is a great workout! The weekend will be busy as always. I was supposed to return the walker that my husband borrowed from the rehab last weekend, but I just didn't have it in me, so I will be doing that tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be decent as it is a long drive, but nice weather makes it enjoyable. I considered asking someone to drive down with me, but decided that a little bit of solitude might not be a bad thing. I have to mow the lawn at some point this weekend as well and that is now a job and a half, but good exercise too!

Kate- that is so sweet of you to open up your home. I know what you mean about not understanding people sometimes. Too funny to think of you dancing naked in the street! Caramel's right- better watch out for who's around- never know what might turn up on YouTube!

Have a great day and weekend!

I lifted!

I weighed!

I am still 3 lbs from my first goal. Blech.

Event1. Is 6 days away.

Hey guys.

I'm working in the flowerbed and mowing the yard today instead of the garden. {I did pick the green beans though}

In honor of KS's rockin' Friday bear, and the 50th anniversary reunion of the Grateful Dead on 7-3,4&5-2015, here is a dancing bear. Hope you guys are having a good day,

Larro

I hope you all are having a good Friday. Sorry I haven't been around lately. My mother in law passed on Tuesday and we had been with her while she was hospitalized for the last few days and at home when they allowed her to leave. The hardest part will be trying to explain it to my 5 yo daughter. She spent a lot of time with her grandparents and she will miss her very much. Somehow I have managed to to regain a lot of my weight back. I will get myself back in gear and on track after the funeral next week. I have been trying to log what I can, even if I go over.

KellySue67

Crosbylee- sorry to hear of your mother-in-law passing away. It's never an easy thing to go through. Thinking of you and your family

Nataliegetfit

Crosbylee, so sorry about your loss. Just take care of your family for now, don't stress about the scale right now.
I did the first mowing of the season today, we mow a lot of area and takes about 2 hours on the zero turn, but it looks really nice. The workers are in the fields we lease out for cow corn, spreading the poo poo platter. Thank goodness they plow it in right away, so it only smells for a day or two. I had put some jeans out to dry on the deck railing, so I need to grab them in when I see them coming in the fields closer to the house.
Trying to clean a little today, having a couple people over for cake for mom Sunday.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Look at this beauty, his name is Rocky, he is a barrel racer! He came to visit me tonight.

Crosby, so sorry for us loss, my prayers are with you. One day at a time.

Hey Ya'll! I am 47, married to an awesome hubby and mom of 2 adult kiddos.....my son is getting married in July and my daughter just got married in October and is expecting her first baby in July! It's a girl!! She is the first grandchild, great grandchild, and great, great grandchild!! I have 2 grand dogs, 2 sugar gliders and 2 cats. I have a lot of health issues and am retired/disabled. Started my weight loss plan last month and have lost 5 pounds and 1 size.

larrodarro

Beeps, don't let perfect get in the way of good. I'm sure your wit will be popping out of that tight dress so that no one will notice anything else. {Unless they are men or women}

Crosby, sorry for your loss.

Natalie, it is good that the manure is getting used for fertilizer, but you guys be careful. If they put it out too strong it can get into your ground water.

Ruby, nice looking horse. Also nice looking country road. Both my roads used to be dirt. Now {as Jeff Foxworthy would say} they are as hard as a turtle's back.

Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else.

Here are the numbers for the week:

20.8% Body Fat
23.8 BMI
170.5 Pounds

That is a gain of 0.4 pounds for the week. 0.5 pounds of which happened since yesterday.

I'm sure you guys have all heard the old tale of the Orange cat stuck in the wishing well while Bad Word looked on.

I just saw the news. BB King died. RIP.

Crosby, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beeps, I know you've been tracking your weight, but how are the clothes fitting?

Ruby, that is a beautiful horse!

Triciaagar, nice job with the loss! I can't believe you have sugar gliders, they're so cute!

Larro, nice pic.

Hit up cardio kickboxing tonight, love kicking and pnching that heavy bag! Made it to self defence class where my uncanny klutziness stru k! Was doing great and managed to catch my foot on my own pants on a takes and landed hard on my knee, swollen beside the cap now. On the plus side my hip throw rocked.

Tomorrow is my youngests' 6th birthday party with the family so it'll be busy. Being May 2-4 (Victoria Day) I'm also going to get some plants, though there was a frost last night. Sunday is bday brekkie, groceries, plants and coffee with a friend and Monday will be planting, if the weather co-operates.

Kate7294

Crosby - So sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you advice on the 5 year old. Cyber hugs to you.

Ruby - Josie is obsessed with " Heehaws " that's what she calls horses. I'm hoping to find someone to let her ride one soon. Though I have no desire myself. I think it's the height ( falling from that high up ) LOL

Hoping to have a new picture soon from Mother's Day. We always take a Mother's picture with the women in Jeff's family. This will be one of the few times I didn't hide in the back. LOL. I learned on Mother's Day my 16 year old and I aren't very good at frisbee. LMBO. Also Jonas was the only one who could keep a hula hoop up. The women myself included would lose it as soon as it hit our hips.
Finally got my mulch. Love the smell of fresh mulch.

Welcome newbies and Good Morning Kiddies !

Have a great day !

alf1163
