40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Hey Kids!

I've got a cold Still managed to go to our block party planning meeting though left early. Josie's still suffering from the "I wants" and stubborn in general. Joy. My husband keeps letting her take sips of his soda since he'd rather keep the peace. He won't listen to me. Grr...Missed the gym but managed a walk.


Larro and Jeff - I highly recommend quinoa ( superfood ) instead of rice . I personally don't care for wheat rice or wheat pasta. I haven't been able to find a better option for pasta yet. Don't care for spaghetti squash. Though I do eat potatoes ( mostly sweet) and wheat bread. ***Just a note don't try gravy on wheat bread it's just nasty. LOL. The quinoa my husband will even eat which is surprising. I don't call what I do low carb I just try to make healthier choices since I was diagnosed pre-diabetic in 2009. Though my sugar is good now.

Sdereski - What a lovely view from your Inn. We stayed in one in Lexington Virginia twice. Loved it. Had these private little porches we could drink our coffee on. Of course that was before kids came along.

Carmel - I did go ahead and delete a few people the other day. Another I have in common with Larro is getting on my nerves whining after all her bad choices blaming stress. LOL. We will see. I keep trying to be supportive.

Hope everyone else had a good day. Weekends coming up

Thanks Larro!

Nick, I'm glad you are feeling better! It sound to me like you're back on track, just don't over do it.
????I'm always up for a good party! ????

Hey Kid's!

Day 100 of logging today! Yeah me! LOL

Larro - Must be a different person she only has 42. I'll try keeping her a little longer.

Jeff and Alf - Thanks it's not too bad so far. Just a little cold.

Hope everyone else is well. Off to eat some cereal. Need a grocery store trip soon.

Happy Friday all!



did a power walk this morning and am so, so glad it's Friday! Hubby and I are going to try to do something tomorrow after my hair appointment. He is still in a lot of pain so we'll see how he's feeling tomorrow. Sunday is a birthday party for my friend's 3yr old son- it was supposed to be a couple of weeks ago, but their whole family has been sick for several weeks and are all finally starting to feel better. We are also doing a movie afternoon with all of our friends after the party. Busy, busy!!

Have a good one all!

Good Morning all. I've done my AM workout and had breakfast, but nothing else. I have a wedding tomorrow and their lockout to decorate is tonight, so I'll be going in to work just after noon. I've had too many weekends off, so it's good to get back in the groove.

The health and wellness program at work got off to a good start. There was nearly 150 women there for Zumba the 1st night. And no, I don't Zumba. I don't even run when caught in the rain, so jumping around in public is more than my fragile id, ego and super-ego could handle.

Happy 100 Kate.

Kelly Sue, if that frog was walking on a crutch, I would say that I had ate one of his legs the other night. But it must have been some other frog.

Caramel, I heard a report on NPR about the high % of folks getting hurt doing crossfit. Be careful and don't injure yourself. The slow and steady route is best for me.

Nick, think long term. And as crazy as it sounds, the best thing for water weight is to drink lots of water.

Everyone else, a big Good Morning to you. Have a good one,

Larro

Congrats to all the consistent loggers! BOOM!

I got a workout in today....at a beautiful gym in downtown vancouver. I lifted and lifted.

Am spent and waiting at the airport. To eat lunch. Then to fly home. I am tired.

My heavy-travel september is OVER.

October is about dropping the five lbs i have put on, lol.

Have a great friday everyone!

Good Morning Cool Kids.

I have a family reunion at work today. Had a wedding reception last night and a teen birthday party Friday night. I had so many weekends off during the summer doldrums, these late nights and early mornings are kicking my butt. I didn't get in my AM workout yesterday and had to depend on walking for my calorie burns. I put in 3 miles {41 minutes @ 4 1/2 mph} but it wasn't a very big burn at all. I did get half of my regular AM workout in before work, then I walked 2 miles {27 minutes @ 4 1/2 mph} once I got here. I won't be real late today, so I can get in the rest of my workout tonight. {and after eating lunch with the family reunion folks, I will need every bit of it} My hat is off to you guys who have full time jobs, plus kids, and still find time to work out. I am blessed to have the easy going life I do.

I have been watching yesterday's Nationwide race on my laptop using Dish Anywhere, and with 11 laps to go, it just decided I had seen enough. I'll turn it off and on, then see if I can watch the end of the race. I also have the Camping World Truck race from last night to watch before today's Sprint Cup race comes on. I had recorded them with the thought of watching last night, but the FSU game was such a near death {in the championship race meaning of the word} experience that I just couldn't get into the races. I ended up watching other football games and spending too much time on Tomahawk Nation.

Kate, I hope you can kick your cold. Did your husband kick a piece of wood on purpose, or was it an accident? I have a Taekwondo class that meets here at the Civic Center on Monday nights, and there is always at least one person who comes limping up to the office to ask for a bag to put ice in when they are breaking boards. So far we haven't had any major injuries. {knocks on wood}

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Larro
