A hot, slow, sweaty 10km run done yesterday.
Enjoyed a great house concert last night. It was AWESOME!5 -
I'm joining in. I'm 40 and ready to make a change. 69 YO woman who started power lifting and maxed the first week at 250 inspired me, so time to get back at this fitness and eating right. Plus my husband is in real need of eating right.5

I'm 45 and just started my fitness journey 2 months ago. Down 13 lbs. Just started a 60 day challenge at my gym to lose 10% body fat in that time. Had been doing mostly cardio but now I'm trying to do 3 days cardio and 3 days of strength training. Down 1.8% bf in the first week. Going on vacation for 6 days starting Friday and concerned about food/exercise. So yeah. That's me. Hi. I'm here!
Y'all are inspiring, by the way, so thanks for that :-)

Had no motivation to workout today, ha! should have taken it as a clue and stayed home. such horrible day here at work!2

Woke up stiff and sore so skipped my planned workout for yoga instead. It was good to see my flexibility remains terrible.
@narak_lol over a 1000km for the month is awesome (I had a good month too at 275km and that's almost 11hr in the saddle for me)

I'm an idiot! Managed to cut the bottom of my foot today after stepping barefoot on a laptop plug hanging out of my work bag. It's not too bad but is painful to walk on today so no running/cycling. Hopefully it will be fine tomorrow. Fingers crossed for me fit friends!0

Hi all. New to the group. 56 y/o here and generally healthy living has kept me free of any major problems so far, though I've gained some weight I'm working on losing now. My favorite exercises are bicycling and hiking. I go to the gym for upper body but hate exercising indoors. My fitness goal is to be able to continue walking five miles a day when I'm 80 and, at that same age, be able to carry my groceries upstairs easily and without being short of breath .6

Hello, 46y/o no exercise yet but have been losing weight with CI CO. Nice Thread. The title where the cool kids are reminds me of the 80s for some reason5

Hi! I'm Kelly. Pretty new here. I did PINK Method back in 2011-2013. Kept it going for 20 months straight. Completed the program 7 consecutive times. I was so fit and felt great. Got down to 116 at one point! Too thin, so I tried to maintain 123. Then I had 3 family deaths, including my mother to lung cancer, and my life got out of whack for a while with the grief. I put on a lot of weight and got up to 139.2 by January of this year. So January 18th, I decided to do something about it. By the end of that week, I was ready to start PINK Method all over again. I lost about 15 pounds in 2 months! Right now I'm trying to maintain around 125. I feel pretty comfortable at this weight, and I can indulge in small treats and hang out there. I'm on my third round of PINK this year. I always intended to adopt PINK as a lifestyle, not as a diet. I don't intend to let life get in the way again. I like feeling healthy and fit. I'm 44, going on 45. I have 3 kids (17, 12, and 8). I've been happily married almost 22 years. The PINK Method website went away today, so I'm back to using the DVD's instead of streaming online, and I found this site about a week ago as a new place to start logging my meals and exercise. I love it so far! It's so easy to use because the database of foods is so extensive. Thanks for letting me join in! I'm living PINK!3

@MJFSH sounds like a great workout! I'm finding it difficult to persuade my husband we don't need pizza! I can always send supplies!
@narak_lol I am in awe of your cycling!! I cycled for just under 2 hours and literally couldn't walk the next day. It's early days for me though but I'll get back to where I want to be.
@RoxieDawn a night run sounds great. Hope it goes well.
Well I was a bit sore yesterday from the KB workout so avoided doing too much. I just tried to be as active as I could and walked or cycled everywhere - mainly to try to build up some calories for gin in the evening!
Today I continued with my little running plan to run for 30 mins without stopping- I know it's not much compared to some of you but I'm managing to cover two and a half miles in 30 minutes jogging with a bit of walking. I will get there just got to keep working at it and be patient. Ive also cycled to the park and back to meet my husband and the dog.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
I thought I would come back and post how my pajama run went Saturday night. First we all wore these glow sticks and glowing shoes laces, etc.. we all looked like glowing aliens in the moonlight..
I finished 2nd in my age group with a 5k time of 26:16 (which was a personal best)... I do a 10k the day after birthday.. I turn 48 next Friday..6 -
@RoxieDawn - that is an amazing time!! Good luck with the 10K.1
