40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Hi I'd like to be a cool kid. I'm 54 year old female that has lost 30 pounds and looking to lose 45 more.

Beeps, are trying to say you want to be "drop dead gorgeous" at the funeral?

{Sorry for the bad joke}

Yes, I DO want to look my BEST!

(And, yes, I got the joke....I didn't think it was a bad joke, at all....a bit of a "groaner", but that's it, lol!)

I lifted yesterday. BOOM! I ate NOTHING after supper last night!! Boom-chicka-boom-boom!!

I lifted today. BOOM! And, I have my son's band-share day this evening, so I won't be eating anything tonight, either.

I am wearing a skin-tight dress, today, and my tummy is FLAT, so it is just a matter of keeping it that way!!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Just finished walk #2 with my dog tonight. Between walk I had a chance to eat really quick. Had 3 rice papers that had hummus, total of half an avacado, shredded carrot and kale. They were delicious.

Two dog walks for me today too .. 4.5 miles at 17 minute pace.. Dog is ready for me to start jogging.

Cooked a fabulous salmon supper.
Started a group for foodies with a recipe sharing thread if anyone is interested.

Hello Everyone. Just checking in. Thank you all for the birthday wishes...I appreciate it. Now I'm trying to get back on track from no workouts for four days. I started the P90X Lean on Monday to get my cardio up.

Will definitely check out Vomckey's recipe thread because I just love trying out new recipes.

Hi, I'm a 49 year old stay at home mom, & co- own a small irrigation & landscape business with my husband. We live in michigan so winter fitness is tough. Not to mention we plow snow which is even tougher. In the past I have done really well maintaining a healthy weight but I've gotten lazy & older lol. My goal is to be healthy! Stay motivated! Keep excercising & I need to lose around 8-10 lbs. I am also registered for my first 5k in June!

It's Hump Day!! Went to my first kickboxing class last night. Whew! It was a workout, but I did enjoy it. I can't go on Thursday as that is my late night at work-once a month until 8pm-2nd Thursday of every month- and the instructor is on vacation next week, but I will be back after that! Now to get a handle on what I am eating!!!

Snow is slowly melting here and our parking lot at work was completely snow free for the first time in weeks! I am looking forward to some spring weather. I know we will still get some snow here and there, but hoping that the majority is gone.

Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day!!

Hey Stepannie,
I haven't had any problems with syncing. Lucky I guess. My only FitBit gripe is that mine doesn't hold a charge for more than 16 hrs, so I have to plug in overnight and can't use the sleep tracker part.

@Curiousgeorgianna- Have you had any issues with your FitBit not synching with MFP? I keep having to disconnect it and reconnect it.[/quote]

I have the same issue. I haven't used mine in months because I found this to be very frustrating! When I first got it, it was great, but after several months it just would not hold a charge for anything!

Hello cool kids! Turned 40 less than 2 months ago. Love it. Been feeling kinda tired and low on energy the last few days though. Not sure why. Resting heart rate in the last few days have been in the upper 40s to low 50s. Usually its in the mid/upper 50s. Seems kinda low but my cardio is good so im not sure if i should worry or not. Glad to see so many active cool kids.

Thanks for the concern but if my house floods the world is ending. I'm at least 80 feet above flood stage for the Ohio River even though I'm only about 2 miles away.

Wish me luck cool kids. Husband announced we are heading out on a 4 day Roadtrip.

We will be active hiking and touring about w/ kids and dog, but will also be eating in restaurants.

It's the 40+ Club. I'm 54 and they haven't kicked me out yet.

Just getting around to checking in. The cleaning lady's son wrecked her truck, and she couldn't come today. So I went light on my pre-cleaning lady cleaning duties. I did get in a few hours on the tractor, then watch the FSU basketball team all but blow a 20 point lead in the ACC tourney. They did live to play another day. When they lose the season is over for them. Their record was too bad for a post season bid to the Big Dance, or even the NIT.

I did go into work to water the lobby plants, and slipped off long enough to have supper with Margie. I scheduled her Prius for maintenance tomorrow and she is taking the day off to go with me. She wants a new Prius before she retires at the end of next year, and thought we could look while they are changing the oil. Her car is an '05, so it's showing it's age a little, but still a good car.

KS, glad the hubby is showing signs of improvement.

Curious, the plants I have been transplanting are beef steak tomatoes, bell, Jalapeno and chili peppers. I've put 32 of each in cups so far. But I had a whole bunch of sprouts breaking the soil this morning in a few more trays. Those are Roma, Cherry and Rutgers tomatoes. There are also sweet banana pepper seeds and seeds I saved from store bought Mini Sweet Peppers that were planted at the same time. They should be coming up anytime now. I did all sorts of searching for the mini sweet pepper seeds and couldn't find them. But I did come across a thread in a hot pepper forum where someone had planted the saved seeds and got sweet peppers, but they were really long. I don't care how they look as long as they taste the same.

Hope everyone had a good day,

Larro

PS: I cut up the garden today, and cut the fire break around the longleaf pines. They need to be burned this month if the March winds will cooperate.
