Well so much for my hopes of spring! We've had a few inches of snow and now it's rain/ice. I've opted to not go to kickboxing tonight. Not a fan of driving in this weather and my sore knee is still sore, made more so by whacking it into my desk today!
Suppose to clear up overnight so kettlebell at 6am it is!
Larro - 84degrees????? Sooo jealous! I'd like to get a few days above 0C so the snow would melt!0 -
Curious- I use the KettleWorx program. It's a set of DVDs from Beachbody. Dealing with Ryan Shanahan first thing in the morning before my coffee is a bit rough. Can't deal with someone that darn chipper first thing in the morning. Just ask my BF. LOL
Larro- you are too funny! 84 degrees?! Geez! Where do you live? It was like 5 above here in Vermont last night. We're supposed to get to a balmy 35 degrees tomorrow. May have to take my run outside tomorrow evening after Yoga.......if I can move. LOL0 -
Curious, those pictures are fantastic! Wowzer! Must be crazy fun out there in those swells. The colour of the water if beautiful as well.
Larro, love your pics of the planting, especially because you continue to show us how wonderful things grow in that HEAT! 84 degrees? There is a major snow storm happening outside right now and has been going on ALL DAY!0 -
WhooHoo! I am seeing results by just trying to move more, not snacking late night, and realistic portion control. Lost 3.5 lbs since starting on Sunday…my goal is to lose 7 in March and keep it off! That's 4% of my weight. I'll do another 4% in April….

hey folks,
I am Arthur, 42 yrs young from Glasgow, Scotland. I admit that sometimes i feel like i am 52 but others i am more like 32. I have so far managed to lose 1st 4.75lbs and i would like to lose at least another 2 stones.
I am married with 2 kids, Lucy 10 and Luke 4. My kids are my world.
I have succesfully lost 2 stone in the past so i know i can do it again. Everyone is welcome to add me to their friends list.

welcome newcomers, it's great to hear from everyone. My weight has been in a holding position for 2 weeks now. I haven't done anything different, I am going to try 30 day shred tomorrow. It's frustrating when you're eating very healthy and nothing is happening. This is usually the time when I say forget it. But the last time I did that and stopped everything, I gained it all back plus ten, so I definitely am in it for the long run, but just a little discouraged.
I was recently introduced to the veggie straws and did like them, but found myself easily mindlessly eating them, so today I didn't even buy any more of them.
I hope you all have a great week.0 -
Great pictures @CuriousGeorgianna! Thank you for the warm welcome as well. You do live a beautiful part of the country... my wife and I took a road trip up that way when we lived on the SF Bay. Yes, that Pacific water is chilly! I got my SCUBA licence out that way... wearing a lot of neoprene insulation!0
-
Curious- OMG, that pic is incredible! I knew you were daring but you are even more brave than I thought. You deserve to see all that cool wildlife out in those swells. That makes my lake kayaking look really weak (think bunny hill)
Sederski- I love your pic too breaking the trail. That looks awesome & challenging!
Larro- please don't stop posting those Florida pics, we need a variety. That what makes it fun around here. Just don't post us one of you doing squats in your boxers LOL.
Furballs- great job on 3 lbs lost.
Caramel- NO MORE WINTER.... For all of us. Thinking of you and great to hear about your new food spot find.
I knocked out cardio 40 minutes at lunch today. I am on my way to go lift weights now! The soreness from starting weights again has went away. Great to see all the posts and accomplishments of you all!0 -

Hey Natalie, do you think you might not be eating enough? You might want to increase your calorie intake, healthy of course. Or you might want to tweak your workouts. Don't give up though!!!! Not allowed.
Good to see everyone!!!! I got my swimming five today and then treated myself to the whirlpool and steam eucalyptus room!!!
Oh Sdereski, beautiful pic, behind included LOL
KS, I love baking with my granddaughter! This past weekend we baked chocolate oatmeal cookies. My husband and son are most of them.
Good night!!!!!

No pictures of squats, you can be sure of that. Since I do them in the shower while I'm waiting on the water to get hot, there are no boxers involved. {sorry for that mental picture}
Margie came in a little early today, so we did get a short walk in. I never got back out to trim trees though.
For those who don't look at WFS???? here it is: {an omelette with 4 cheese Mexican and Peach Pineapple Chipotle Salsa}

Cherylann, I agree with Larro's suggestions I do most of those, well, I don't get that much sleep but enough for me. As far as a beauty regimen, I swear by Paula's Choice products. Check them out online!!! The owner is Paula Begoun, better known as The Cosmetics Cop. She wrote a book many years ago talking about the beauty industry and the false claims, etc. She has a team of researchers and scientists who test most of the products out there including makeup. She tells it like it is. She also suggests products, lots of them, store brand or high end, if you don't want to buy her products. Hers are not that expensive, their customer service is superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The website where you can look up products and read great reviews and recommendations is Beautypedia.com But as far as a good regimen regardless the products, morning: cleanser, toner, exfoliant and a moisturizer with SPF Night: cleanser, toner, exfoliant, serum and a moisturizer. That is my regimen for years now. My mother started me early on with taking care of my skin. She was a Lancôme fanatic. They have some good products but not all are good and it is quite expensive. My mother passed away but she looked younger than her age. Her skin was very beautiful, hardly any wrinkles at 75 and she lived in Puerto Rico. I have used lots of different products since my 20's but now I used mostly Paula's skin care line. Makeup, I use lot of different products depending on what I need and the cheaper ones, after following Paula's recommendations on Beautypedia. Check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it is kinda of an inside joke, Larro shared with us a while back about his daily squats before shower to make the most of his time. He is quite cleaver, I love a man who can multi task 0 -

thanks for the suggestion alf. I may try to add some calories, also started that 30 day shred this morning, still alive (although didn't do every single rep, did as many as I could) and still did 20 min elliptical, so I will try that for awhile and see if it helps. I think the most important thing is not giving up and keep logging. I always eat better if I log everything.
Mary Kay has some wonderful products for anti aging. Look online and find a consultant and have a free facial. My sister is a consultant in AZ. I have been using it since high school. They also have a money back guarantee.
Those water pictures are amazing. I think I would be afraid to be in there, I am used to pools not moving water. It is beautiful and scary all at the same time.
I hope you all have a great week. Keep up the good work.

Morning everyone!
Soooooo, did my KettleWorx workout yesterday morning and then did a boot camp class at my friend's gym last evening and THEN got up this morning and did my KettleWorx AGAIN. Needless to say, I'm a hurtin' pup today.
Had to stretch my whole body in the middle of the night I was so sore. LOL
And on top of all of that, I'm doing Yoga here at work this afternoon. Hoping to stretch out some of this soreness. LOL0 -
41 this month - I'll be 'properly' in my 40s then! I'm starting to shift some more weight deadlifting after last October's disc herniation. OK, it's only 100kg for 4 sets of 6 reps, but it's a damn sight better than shuffling like a zombie unable to lift at all as was the case a few months back.0
-
I sure loved all the photos that went up on this thread yesterday!
Nicely done!0 -
Ok, I am back! Team did well at the cook off and I managed to not completely wreck myself. I did have a small gain, but most of that is due to some drinking and other things going on as well (tom). Glad to see you are all doing well this week. Loving the outdoor pics!!0

I'm going to be 50 in October. Count me in.0

Hey Kids, hope all of you are well and in good spirits.
I am tired of posting about the snow/ice, yet that is what we are plagued with at this time. My office closed Monday, we had an ice storm yesterday and schools closed 2 hours early and my office closed at 1. The roads were really icy.
Sdereski, there is nothing like a photo highlighting activity. Hope you had a blast in the snow.
Larro, with all these new ladies on here giving you so many kudos, I hope this does not inflate your head (lol).. How's mom doing? All I could do was crack up when you mentioned your squats while waiting for the water. No one can ever accuse you of having poor time management skills. I LOVE IT...
Alf--Hope you are doing well. Nice to see posts from you again. You rock
Ruby--Good to see your post on your running. Are you doing any 5 or 10k's?
Beeps-What's going on with you? I will think of you as I lift heavier tonight.
CG--You already know I am sooooooooooooo JEALOUS. I feel like you are my long lost sister. You're such a dare devil and I LOVE IT..... Keep the pictures coming.
KS--That is good news about your hubby. I know you were thrilled that you had a GREAT house guest.
Kate--Where are you? For all of the weight you are losing, I am gaining (lol). Keep up the great work.
I love the pictures that all of you are posting.
Welcome to all newbies. Hope you stay on the ride.
I have extreme fit tonight and plan to do some cardio before the class.
Have a great day everyone.0 -

I just finished a lifting session, caramel. My third-day-in-a-row of HEAVY LIFTING.
BOOM!
Now, that is a GREAT start to March. BOOM!
My next "task" is to work on the execution of my "decrease-nighttime-snacking" plan. I have a GOOD PLAN in place....it is ALL up to the execution, which has been weak.
THAT CHANGES TODAY!
I won't be perfect....there ARE evenings I am gonna chow-down. But, tonight I won't. The end.

Hi all, run never happened yesterday; went home and shoveled snow instead. Another major dumping of snow. Curled last night as well, although it ended after an hour as we were getting our butts kicked.
Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend with my granddaughter when we went snowshoeing and then she "camped" for the night on my dining room floor.
The dog is our son's dog, Gus. He is an Alaskan Malamute.

Here I am ! Here I am ! LOL.
7 lbs. under goal today. Trying to stay busy. Been paying off bills ( credit card, 2 loans), buying essentials, and shopping around for things that save time/money and so forth.
Tomorrow signing up with another insurance company for our homeowners and cars. Should save close to $200.00 plus a year with the new company. Yeah me ! Sorry if I've been quiet. I was stressing over our escrow being short again this year. Last year I had a hell of a time getting things fixed. Hopefully by switching things will level off.
Anyway... not much else to report here. I did buy a can crusher the other day. LOL. Pretty cool.
Hello Newbies ! and welcome.
I'll check back later.0 -
Nice to see so many of our age bracket here.. Any newbies (or not) looking for a support friend, feel free to send me a request.0
