40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Good for you Beeps! I love snuggle time! I usually get mine in the am as they get up but then with 3 boys and hubby it turns into a dog pile and tickle fight!

Weight is coming off nicely! figure it is mostly water at the moment but soon it will be the target areas of fat!

I did my BBL High n Tight this am, then 12 flights of stairs, then outside to clean up the yard! Oh and my chin ups (still at 2) and pole climbing (really works your core) 5 times.

Trying not to do too much cardio on this diet so I just burn the needed fat!

Got a little down after finding out my Aunt passed away a few days ago. My mom is the only remaining sibling of 6! Hubby shows up with a rose in a glass swan vase, 98 % dark choc, and an awesome sweet card!

Gotta run! Mamma's work is never done!

Keep rocking it cool kids! xoxo

Morning!

RM - thats funny! I don't typically look the ads on MFP website but I have seen a few posts where people say their webbrowsing shows up on the MFP page.

Beeps - looks like you are on to something there! So brushing your teeth signals your brain that nothing else is going in your mouth? and sounds like a fantastic, quality family time. I miss the days my girls would come and snuggle with me in bed. My oldest, 21, still comes and sits on the side of my bed and we'll talk about our day... next time, I am just gonna grab her and pull her in I also agree with grazing being a sight thing. If there is something out on the counter or table, I will mindlessly pop it into my mouth. I tend to make sure there's nothing out but the fruit basket!

princess - sorry to read about your Aunt but hope you are really enjoying your visit with your family. Hubby is definitely a keeper too!

Did workout #1 of 3 of the Fitness Blender's 1000 cal after work yesterday, was awesome 87 minute event! lol, combined 30 minutes of HIIT with 26 minutes of strength and 16 minutes of ab work and then a cool down stretch. I am feeling it in my thighs and abs today! We had our first dusting of snow overnight so I had the crunching beneath my feet on my walk this morning... love that sound! Had to keep stopping to get the snowballs off from my dogs paws tho, annoying, time to trim them up again.

I have had a hard time getting motivated to exercise again. I did great the first 7 months this year (was training for a half marathon) and did keep up with running after my race. But when I wasn't seeing the scale budge even with the exercise I was doing, I kind of let up a little. I bought a food scale to watch my calories closer, which is helping now and even with not exercising like I was, the scale is at least moving again. Now to balance exercise with eating so that I can still lose.

sdereski - how tragic! I think it is wonderful that she had the opportunity to do what she loved doing for so many years. Keep your JOY of running alive for her. :flowerforyou:

I got in a nice run today after work then about 30 min of weight training. I am trying something new and I will have to see how it works. I love love love to workout every day. However, for the past couple of months my Mondays at work have been pretty long...12 plus hours. I can't really change it as I work in healthcare and can't change when we get new patients.. Well after a long day of patient care and trying to make sure dinner is done and ready for my husband ( he does not expect it..I just like to do it for him) when he gets home from work I feel like I rush through my workout or I don't make time for other responsibilities. Yesterday was my first day off from exercised in several months.


Hope everyone is doing well.

Hello all,

Thank you for your kind words.

The Today Show will be doing a short tribute to Joy this morning. After each NYC marathon she ran, she would then go down to the Today show and talk to Al Rocker (?) outside. She did so on Monday as well.

Runner's World also had a short article on her online yesterday. She really was quite a lady.

Had a terrible headache all day yesterday, and ended up missing my lifting session. I did curl last night, so I got a bit of exercise, but nothing much. Funny, but I don't really consider curlilng exercise. lol.
Diet has been good. Today is my fast day. Wish me luck! :happy:

SDERESKI, I read the article last night about Joy and her story. What an inspiration to both young and old.

You will do well on your fast also.

Hope all of you are doing well.

I am still very sore from boxing and boot camp. Yet in the end I know the pain and soreness is weakness leaving my body.

Have a great day everyone.

sdereski, I am so sorry to hear about this. Sorry I did not acknowledge it in my post below yours. I do not know how I missed it. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

No problem solo. Thanks again all. She certainly was an inspirational lady and I was blessed to have known her.

Fast has gone well. Ran tonight as well....a nice 4+ mile run.

Figured out what was causing my headache....had another doozy today. The lights in my office. I would usually start getting one around 3pm, but the pain has been starting early morning and lasting all day. I turned the lights off that are right above my desk, and within an hour it was starting to subside.

Good morning cool kids! I am finally starting to feel better. Between my throat infection and TOM it has been a doozy of a week. Today was the first day I have exercised since Saturday. I got in some aerobics this morning. Now off to get ready for a couple of appointments with my hubby before heading to work later this morning.

Sdereski~ so sorry to hear about Joy. I saw her story on the news. She sounds like a true inspiration.
