40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Alright, I'll be the first to post on our new and improved thread.

I got a little mowing in this afternoon before work.

So, how do you get this to show up on your own discussion feed? I have a feeling we are going to lose a few folks.

Larro, the field looks great!

Beeps, you look fantastic in that dress - almost as good as the model. I love the dress!!!
- I have to agree with Larro, you look a bit like your avatar.

Ran the other day with my hubby. Last night was a cold, miserable day, so my plan was to go home and get my workout in. Instead, my husband had the scaffolding up in the house, ready to change the bulbs and clean the lanterns on our light. Yes, our ceilings are THAT high. This is a two person job - one up on the scaffolding, the other doing the hand me down, washing and handing back up. Took us 2 hours to get that done. Today, he is cleaning the top row of windows while he has the scaffolding up. What a good man!

Was supposed to workout with my g/f yesterday but she was not feeling well. We'll try for tomorrow.

Have a great day all.

Hey guys. A search will turn up your lost threads if you can remember the name. If you will look at the upper right part of the page there is a star. When you press it it book marks the thread. Then comments will show up at the little bell thing. We may have to reach out with PM's to some of the folks who get lost along the way.

It's house cleaning day at the Larro Ranchero. Would love to get back to mowing the yard, but working on Wednesdays has crimped my style. I'm done with my AM workout and breakfast, and on the 2nd load of laundry. Since I have to go in to work in the afternoon I try to get showered and dressed before the cleaning lady gets here at noon. That means doing it really early, or going into the new week with at least one towel and pair of socks and underwear that goes back in the dirty clothes hamper. I love for the house to be totally clean for that slim slice of time once a week.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Hey kids, I figured this out! At the top of this page, there is a little star, by clicking on it, it bookmarks it for you. Then, when you go to your "my topics" page, just click on the little star icon and the bookmarked forum shows up. A pain the butt, especially if you post in a few, but at least I now know where to find this one, easily!

Beeps, go to the group section and your groups will show up. Then you can book mark the threads you were on. But I think you will have to go that route for now. I heard they will be fine tuning this thing for a few days. Maybe that is one of the changes that will be made.

Hey cool kid's ,

Alfie- I wasn't sure how long it would take for me to find the group again. Thanks for staying on top of it.

I must buy a new camera this year. When I came out this morning the fog looked just like that tv show the dome. I had to wake my husband just to look at it. Managed to get to the gym. Whoop! Leg day. Need to time manage better so I can add in more weighted exercises soon. One hour is just not enough when I try for 40 minutes on the elliptical.

Anyway hello newbies!
Hello Carmel, Larro, Emma, Lonewolf, Kelly Sue, Sdereski, Ruby, and Beeps! Check back later if I can find it. LOL

When I went to the forums at work, MFP wanted me to log in when I was already logged in on the main page. I have always logged in through Face Book, so I have no idea what my password is. I'm back home now and didn't have any problem on my PC.

I'm not a big fan of change.

This is where I shout, "and stay off my lawn."

Good Morning all,

Welcome lisa.

Am not a big fan of change either. This sucks. One of the other forums I would post in is gone - cannot find it anywhere. Thought it may be a group, but no. It was locked or private, but have no idea how to find it.

Busy night last night. Ran 8km after work and then went to a 45 min exercise class - legs n booties. Got home around 8:45 and still had not had dinner.

The plan is to workout at lunch today with my g/f. That's always a good one.

Good Morning Cool Kids.

Lisa Anne, {and all the other new guys} welcome to the thread.

Sdereski, great run, but I don't understand why you would do an exercise to strengthen those little half sock things

Kate, glad you are finding time for the weights. I just lift twice a week, but I put in 80-85 minutes when I do.

Kelly Sue, hope your DH gets some relief, and you guys find out what the problem is.

Caramel, have you found us since the change?

Em's Mom, Dito?

Curious, is the exercises to get the hippy hippy shakes back, or to get rid of them? Glad you are able to get back on the bike.

Beeps, hope the new forums get the kinks worked out, or we can come to terms with the changes. I like 90% of the new stuff, it's just the 10% is such a PITA.

Alf, hope you are having fun in the tropics.

I did half my usual AM cardio and 80 minutes of lifting. It took over two hours though because of all the interruptions. Lots of phone calls and Margie came in from work. The toilet in her office turned into a volcano and got her cloths wet. She brought home plenty of work to keep her busy, but I might get a cooked lunch and supper today. We are leaning toward unstuffed peppers for supper. Tune into http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1216261/whats-for-supper#latest
later on tonight to see what we decided. I need to get back to the mowing. Sometimes I think 6 acres of yard is kind of excessive.

Here are the numbers for the week:
22.2% Body Fat
56.7% Body Water
24.6 BMI
176.3 Pounds

If I missed anyone, hello to you. Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro

....this is the only thread that comes up on bookmarks.

So, you 40+ ers better make it EXCITING around here!!!

I got nuthin' to report....

Hey Kid's!
So managed to go to the gym today. Arms today managed 3 reps of 10 on lat pull downs, tricep extension, row, mid chest, and only 1 rep on these side things. My right shoulder keeps clicking for some reason so taking it easy. Elliptical for 33 minutes setting of 12 at 342 cal. burn. Then the daycare called me down. Josie had been crying for 15 minutes straight.
She fell asleep in the car and took a good nap. Doctor's tomorrow she had a temp of 101. I wish I knew when she was actually feeling bad and just throwing a fit.
Anyway...
Great workouts everyone.
Larro - Sounds yummy.
Curious - Wouldn't we all love our 20 yr. old butts back. LOL

I was about to PM a few of you to figure out what in the ham sandwich is going on (lol).

Happy Friday. Hope all of you are well and in good spirits.

We had metabolic testing done on Wednesday. I actually passed the waistline test for the first time in 3 years. I failed the blood pressure AGAIN!!!! I get extrememly nervous when my pressure is taken. The first time was high (bottom number). I waited several hours and let them take it again and it was worse than earlier. You have to pass 4 out of 5 measures to get a discount on your health insurance premium.

I am dealing with the BLAH's this week and have to turn this around ASAP. I train with my trainer tomorrow and I hope she kicks my can because I need it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Friday Cook Kids!! Sorry I missed everyone yesterday- Busy Busy day! I ran some intervals this morning. First time running since my hip kicked out on me at my 5k. It was a good run!
Hubby still having tons of issues. He actually slept on the floor last night because he couldn't pick his right leg up to get it on the bed. No Bueno! He has an appointment with a back specialist on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed!
Have a Ladies meeting/baby shower at Church tomorrow and then after Church on Sunday I'm going to spend the afternoon with my daughter and Jake
I have signed up for two more races this fall. One is a virtual 5k through Cabot Creamery to benefit the Food Bank- the suggested date is October 25th, but can be any time during the month- no official times or anything, but it's for a good cause. The other one is December 13th- a 5k in the next town over. I signed up for it last year, but the weather was horrible and icy so I didn't end up participating. Hoping for it to be at least dry

Have a good day all!

thanks for the bookmark tip, it worked and I can now find "ALL" of you again. Whoosh!

Hi! I just turned 43, and I'm currently into my second week of trying to lose approximately 120 pounds. I live in the Cleveland area and I'm always open to new ideas on how to get to where I want to be. It's lovely to meet you!
