40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Curiousgeorgianna that's for the props! They are crazy, especially for someone like me. I have always said I don't just have one sweet tooth, I have an entire mouth full. I have been finding that having just a couple squares of a dark organic chocolate really helps satisfy my craving for sweets. Like you I wish I could afford a PT, my one niece is actually a PT but has not time for her old aunt....guess her being busy is a good thing.

I'm in

Larro, we need someone like you at our banquet hall - making sure it is all set up and ready to go for us.

Greetings, all. and hearty self-welcome (to me) to the group!
I hope I am following correct protocol posting this here

Long term Goals:

• Catch up with my running coach bellasposa

Short term
NY marathon 2015/2016

Good Afternoon Cool Kids.

Jackie, the one piece of chocolate would never work for me. I have to go with the zero pieces of chocolate, or the whole bag. I do eat tons of fruit, so it's not uncommon for me to go over on my sugar goals.

Kikon, I have found MFP overestimates calorie burns. I do 120% of the cardio I log. That is six minutes of exercise for every five logged. Yesterday's lifting was 45 minutes so I logged 36 minutes. I'm sure it is more or less according to the person and how hard you are working out, but it has worked for me.

Alf, what I meant to say was it was good seeing all the folks who had longevity in this great thread. Working out at 0545? I hate to say it, but I read until after 0400 this morning. And the bad thing is I hit the wall just 20 pages from the end of the book. If I had known I could make the end, I could have quite at 0100 and got a good night's sleep.

3furballs, if you love hitting stuff, keep on hitting it. My arthritis keeps me from doing any contact sports.

sdereski, if it wasn't for my set-up/clean-ups I would have trouble making a living. Sometimes I have to work late at night, but I can make as much in three hours with a clean-up than I make in a long day riding the clock. I do work with a lot of wedding planners and caterers, but my bailiwick is the tables, tablecloths {if they use ours}, chairs and sound system. Glad to see you are busy. I'm in the January doldrums right now. I've been averaging working 2.5 days a week this month.

Kelli Sue, once again you rock with the picture of the day. Stay safe with the snow aerobics, though. Hope you have a good visit with hubby.

Hello to everyone else, new and old, I mean longer term members of the club, alike.

I've done my AM cardio and cooked another omelette. This one with sausage, stir-fry veggies and Swiss. Not too bad.

Friday is my new check-in day, so here are the numbers:

21.7% Body Fat
57.1% Body Water
24.4 BMI
174.3 Pounds

It looks like 174 is going to be my weight. I've tried to get back up to 176, and I just have not been able to do it. I hate to think about what will happen when gardening and grass cutting season starts with their huge calorie burns.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro

i won't respond to everyone individually....suffice it to say it seems like you are all busy!

I am at board meetings today. No lifting. Tomorrow is kidlet basketball day. No lifting. Maybe Sunday when all the guys are watching the superbowl I could go lift. Or I could just eat-my-face-off since my period is due, anyway.

We shall see how that all works out!

Have a great weekend, all!

Happy Friday Cool Kids!
Great news Sylvarose!
Beeps - get yourself to that gym Sunday!
Larro, I run into the same thing with sugar intake from fruit. It seems like there should be some sort of distinction between whole foods and processed foods with added sugars.
Alf, I've never tried Bikram yoga, but have done traditional yoga practices for years. I love it too!
KS, great picture. Did you flap your arms and legs to make a snow angel while your were there? Have a great time at the super bowl party.
Sdereski, holy mole! You are ridiculously busy. Remember to breathe.
Myg, yes, the weather's been great here too. Enjoy your walks!

I almost didn't go to the killer core class at lunch yesterday -- I could hear all of those distracting conversations in my head about how inconvenient it was going to be to change clothes & whatnot-- but I went anyway! Good for me! My NSV for the day. Today is an off day. Tomorrow is Power Flow Yoga, and Sunday, of course, is paddling about in the ocean. A motorcycle ride will be in there somewhere.

Keep up the awesome work everyone! Have a great weekend.

Curious- I did not! I landed face first initially and then rolled over before getting up and then the only think I wanted to do was get out of my rather wet and snowy clothes- had I been dressed warmer, I would have! As a matter of fact, when my grandson was over yesterday we were watching Disney and he saw someone on a program making a snow angel and laid down on the floor and started copying them. I told him if he had his snow pants we could have gone outside but it was too cold to do it without them. Fun!

Great start to the weekend, kettlebell class followed by kickboxing class! Now what to do with the rest of my day? Tomorrow is a rest day and my shoulders are looking forward to it!

Jackie unlimited way to go on the weight loss@

I am back on mfp. 2 years ago I was at my goal weight -- looked and felt great. Somehow all the weight is back, plus a few more. I know it's because I stopped exercising and took to many liberties with my diet. I want my healthy self back. My total goal is 60lbs, but my mini goal is 20lbs by 4/1. I would love to be part the group too.

Good morning.
Planning my day - birthday party for a friend's little girl (and probably amazing Chinese and American foods) and then the rest of the day. Since I only care about Super Bowl if there is a social event going on and we're not going to any this year, I'm going to a Jazzercise class this afternoon instead of sitting around.

How do you all mark the group so you can find it? I was having a terrible time looking for it.
