    It’s my 44th birthday today but also my 5 year maintenance anniversary! I’m very proud of maintaining my weight loss and fitness for that time so I hope it’s ok to post a pic :) I’m only sporadically logging for the moment but feel free to add me if you like!

    Well I ran my first 5km today. It was a fun run for a local church raising funds for their weekly hospitality meals and I was suppose to jog with my 11 great old daughter, but I forgot she had a babysitting course today.

    So ran on my own and was the first woman over the finish line. The course was just shy of the actual 5km and I did it in just under 28 minutes! Feeling pretty proud. My cardio is pretty good with all my working out but I've never been a distance runner and I've never run 5 km before!

    Nice job! I run a lot of 5ks and the nice thing about getting older is you tend to climb the ladder of finishers! LOL Congrats again, good time!

    Hi all,
    I am 42, female, have two boys and a lovely husband who refuses to join me in my efforts to lose weight. I would like to loose 26 pounds as I have gained a lot of weight over the past few months :( . Add me as a friend if you want.

    The cardio step instructor did not show up, today. So, the YMCA staff member came in and said "I will do a cardio class....you won't need a step, and you won't need weights or a mat."

    He proceeded to do a zumba class.

    So, two things: (i) zumba is not very much cardio for pete's sakes. I did not crack a sweat; and (ii) zumba's movements are TOO SILENT for me - I need vocal cue-ing!!

    Sigh.

    Plus, so much of the movement is all foot and ankle....who needs that? Give me KNEES UP any ol' time.

    Thank goodness I did 50 minutes of lifting before trying to get into the (absent) cardio-step class.

    BOOM.

    Missed my exercise classes this week. Had company so we did a 10k walk on Monday and great 10k hike on Tuesday. That was a workout! The fitbit recorded a 176 flights of stairs.
    Had the grandkids tonight...so again, no exercise classes. Bring on Thursday.

    I just turned 43 last week. I transitioned from the "5x5 Stronglifts" program to "The Bridge". I have already beat a couple PRs. I'm down 2.5 pounds this week though its just from eating better and at a deficit. Scanning through there are a lot of good looking people doing a lot of great things. Keep it up.
