40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

alf - no will and no insurance?!?!??! oh my goodness....people, GO and get your WILLS done! all of you!! Living wills, too!

KellySue - my fever broke at about 6:45 am and a BURST of energy hit me...so, I raced to work. Dumb choice since my fever is now mounting, again, and I am lethargic and dizzy....too ill to drive home, for sure. Dumb.

Fever, chills, fever, chills, it is just this vicious cycle!! No energy. I got out of bed at 2:45 pm yesterday and only had enough energy to make it to the couch!

All i can say is TGIF. I am at work, but barely functional. I am not sleepy, though....just completely exhausted.

Anyway, no work-outs since Monday, as you can imagine. We are hosting a dinner party tonight (my nanny did all the cooking and I handled none of the food so nobody is at risk) - and it will be nice to see people, but then it is off to bed, for me!

Have a good weekend, all!

Happy Monday Cool kids.

Welcome dcresider! Not too late to join at all. We sound rather similar - active, but eat too much, and both like to run. :happy:

Beeps, hope you took time to recover this weekend. Whatever is going around, is a doozy and seems to knock folks out for a good week.

Kelly - hope you and your husband enjoyed your adventure. Always nice to do something different together.

Alf - feeling better? Was the chiro treatment helpful?

I had a busy, fun weekend curling. Ladies bonspiel is always a lot of fun. Saturday we curled 3 full games. I was on the go all day. Our team's job was to prepare breakfast for Sunday morning (fruit & muffins), so after Saturday morning's game, I rushed home to bake muffins, shower, pack my clothes for the after party and back to curl my next game. We lost that game, so we were on to curl again at 9 p.m.! So, just enough time to get cleaned up at the rink, have our dinner & drink and we were back out on the ice again. We won that game, which meant we curled Sunday morning at 11. :happy: By the time we finished, the after party was in full swing. So we danced up a storm and was home by 2:30 a.m.:noway: Lots of fun, but this old body was moving a whole lot slower on Sunday. :yawn: We lost our game in the morning by a LOT. Thank goodness none of us were hung-over as we were drinking water most of the night, but we still had a late night, whereas the other team was snug in their beds by 10 I'm sure. :laugh:
It was all fun and I walked away with two beautiful bar stools that match the 4 I already have. Everyone loves to sit around my counter, so two is bonus. :happy:

Now, it's back to the grind. Did I say Happy Monday?

Happy Monday!!

Beeps~ Glad to hear you are feeling better. Enjoy your lifting session today.

Sdereski~ Sounds like you had a great time!!

As for me, I am back at work today. My time off was nice, but I was busy the whole time. Friday after working out, Hubs and I headed out for a drive and ended up going to the Heluva Good cheese store in Sodus, NY. We, of course, bought cheese! We then went out to lunch and to the Mennonite market for some produce. Saturday was another busy day. The gym, lunch and then to buy some fun stuff for Jacob for Easter!! He is sooo spoiled!!! Sunday was just as busy- Church then grocery shopping- not my favorite task, but one that must be done!

Today was my circuit workout. I run laps and in between laps I do squats, sit ups and push ups. Then it's lunges with dips in between. It's tough going sometimes, but I feel good when it's all done!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I did lift and it felt good!

Any april fool's jokes planned?

I was wondering if another 40+ person could join this fun group?

My name is Patti and I am trying to lose weight AGAIN. I am from the Pittsburgh area, married to a very awesome guy and we have two daughters.

A good friend of mine talked me into doing a gladiator run in September so I am trying to get myself in shape. I do cardio every day but I know I need to do strength training too. I need to find a fun way to do this. Any tips or advice is really appreciated!!

I do have an April Fools Day joke planned for my kids. I put their milk and cereal in a bowl and stuck it in the freezer. I am looking forward to seeing their faces in the morning when they can't get the spoon through.

Happy Fools Day everyone!

Time for ALL sickness to LEAVE the premises!!!!

My daughter tried an "april fool's prank" this morning....she got up early (on spring break?!?!?!? who does THAT!) and dressed like the zombie apocalypse and came to scare me. It worked! Mind you, by the time I got rolling out of bed, she'd de-make-uped so I didn't even get a picture!!!

Hi, can I join you all?

Happy April Fools Day everybody!

I haven't had a chance to read everyone's story yet, but I will. I'm a single mom to twin 8 year old girls (love them, LOVE THEM!) and I'm trying to get in better shape and lose 10 - 15. I'm getting to the point where I don't really care so much what the scale says,but I want my face to be slimmer and my arms as well (and I have a closet full of clothes that miss me, LOL) ... I would also like to run a 5K sometime this year, although I'm not super excited about running. Just seems to be a goal I keep pushing out there.

I'm also a 5 year breast cancer survivor, and I know that the #1 thing I can do to prevent a recurrence is excercise, so I'm trying to make MFP my big motivator! I'm already finding that having friends out here keeps me motivated!

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Happy April Fool's day! No good April Fool's gags as of yet today. I had Jacob at the house this morning so no am workout, but I just managed to get out for a walk on my lunch break. A solid two mile walk. It's not a sunny day here but definitely warmer than it's been a while. I will take it while I can get it!!!!

Alf- I know that it is so easy to want to get up and go when you are feeling better, but remember to still take it easy for a while. I hope the therapy continues to help!!

Welcome to the new folks!

Have an Awesome Day!! :bigsmile:
