Happy Friday kids....
It's the first day of spring and guess what we woke up to? You know it...SNOW!!!!!!!
At any rate, I took the interval burn class and my PT was waiting for me at the door when it was over and she did not slow down with me. My HRM needs a new battery, as it died 15 minutes before my workout was over. To the store I go to get a new battery.
Hope all of you have a great weekend.

Good Evening Cool Kids.
Hope everyone enjoyed their first day of Spring. Back in my Pagan {Creek Indian} days I would have danced naked and burned money to celebrate the holiday. Not so much anymore. I very rarely dance, even with clothes on. And I never burn money.
Speaking of burning, I tried to burn my longleaf pines today. It was very foggy early {I had to get to work in the afternoon} and we didn't get a good burn at all. It was too wet and there wasn't enough fuel or wind to overcome it.
Here are the numbers for the week: 20.8% Body Fat, 23.8 BMI & 170.5 Pounds. That is a loss of 1.0 pounds. Too much work and too little calories. I will try to do better next week.

Mommy- That's beautiful. Your daughter is very talented.
Kelly Sue- So glad your hubby is improving. I need to paint here too < I've been putting it off too long. Not sure what I'll do to keep Josie busy and out of the paint. LOL
Hello Newbies and Welcome !
Sorry I've been M.I.A. lately. I've been job hunting, paying bills, paying off debt, running errands, cleaning, and the " List goes on " < I think that's a song or maybe just thinking of " the band plays on "
Josie seems to have recovered after having 4 staples put in the back of her head last Tuesday. My niece was trying to tickle her and they both fell against my sister's french doors.
It looked worse than it was head wounds bleed like crazy.
See..back to normal.
Anyway. I haven't logged in roughly a week. Still maintaining 5 lbs. under my goal ( even after eating " a big serving of homemade chocolate covered peanut butter easter egg ". I brought 3 so hopefully I can stay in control while the remaining 2 are in the house. Muhawhaw ! Brought one of those Ecig seems to be helping. So hopefully I'll be able to kick the habit this year.
I'll check back later.

With spring here so also comes my craving for ice cream. Ya I know I'm not fooling anyone that is always there. Was just thinking about it out on my second walk with the dog this morning. Might be time to go buy a big bag of frozen berries and pull out the Yo-nana machine and put a batch in the freezer ready to go.0

Double workout of Kettlebell and Kickboxing today! I've done one or the other every day this week and walked to work. Weigh in tomorrow so hoping there has been some downward movement! How is it so easy to gan 8/9lbs in a month or so, but so hard to lose it? ?0

I don't eat clean. I hate buzz words and that is one of my least favorite (I'll keep the rest to myself lest they all appear in rapid succession on this forum).
I have 1800 calories to get me through a 24 hour period, including workouts. Mostly, it's a 50% carb/30% fat/20% protein mix, although that varies from day to day. I try to make sure those calories count. But, every once in a while, I decide to throw some of those calories at something decidedly unclean but thoroughly satisfying. Good beer. Scotch or Bourbon. Good chocolate.0 -

I am loving this group and I am finding myself slowly coming around and starting to feel like my old self. What I mean by that is in 2012 I ran a 15k was on the road to fitness -I was 15 pounds from my goal weight but strong and energetic and healthy. Then I started grad school while working nights and had a few family and medical issues. I became sedentary... In December I graduated and found myself exhausted at my heaviest weight ever and far from being healthy! As I started to pick myself up I felt like every muscle in my body atrophied - I could not make it a round with my punching bag or run a half mile... Very depressing but also a real life testimonial of " use it or lose it". Since January 1st I have been walking just about every day and last night I ran my first mile without stopping as I read your posts I focus on running a 5k next month getting my bike out for spring and returning to kickboxing. I'll be 42 in August and my goal is to run a 15k on my birthday 0

I just genuinely "Laughed Out Loud" at that... LOL - too funny!!!
I'm happy-happy... with a 2 lb drop at today's weigh in - even with limited exercise due to injured knee! The physio says brisk walking should be OK, so I'll be up and moving again this next week.
Oooo, @Kate7294 that injury looks nasty - glad she's back to normal now.
Hope all the "UK-ers" enjoyed the eclipse yesterday. A work colleague took this weird photo where the eclipse appears to be reflected on the clouds. The big bright patch is the actual position of the sun, where it's about 90% covered by the moon, and the little white crescent shows a reflection of the sun. Weird - eh:
This is a more traditional view of the eclipse, taken through some welding glass

Well I have been fighting the flu since Thursday. Trying to get better enough for my friend's funeral today. I made it through but it was so hard. The emotional drain anyway but to be so physically weak. But I had to be there regardless.0

Im in San Antonio as well.

Excellent goal Trish. You can do it!
Landfish I don't eat clean all of the time either. I have some drinks now and again and treat myself with popcorn or a really good high quality chocolate. It most defiantly is a challenge to try to eat majority of my food as closest to its natural state as possible. My goal right now is to work at it being 90% and aim to get as close to 100% as possible. My body is demanding that at this point in time with having had 2 allergic reactions to something in 2 totally different meals within 4 days of each other. The third time I might not be so lucky. My bet is on that it was chemicals in the foods. Time will tell. Always enjoy everything you eat to the fullest otherwise what is the point of eating it?0 -
Thank goodness I got my kettlebell and kickboxing workouts in. I'll be feasting tonight! My step daughter and the baby are coming over!! Unfortunately dh is under the weather (may be kidney stones, took him to emerg last night and he's suppose to go for an ultrasound to confirm today but so far they have not called for me to bring him in) so hopefully he'll be awake enough to join us, not sure if he'll eat or not. Also means after 2 hours of grocery shopping (all by myself!) there was 2 hours of cleaning and tiding and tomorrow will be cooking for the week, getting ready for Monday and more laundry, but right now this beer tastes good!0

Bittersweet day today. Sent my 2nd oldest son back to college after spring break today, my 3rd will make his final college decision April 1st. I miss them when they go away but am proud at the same time... And I'd be lying if I said I miss the extra laundry/grocery shopping
it took 12 days but I lost another pound and today my legs are a tad sore from working out! Sore=yes!!!! Have a fabulous Sunday!! 0 -
Still laid up with flu. And I got the shot. I don't have time for this. I'm a CPA in tax season! !!0

Good Evening Cool Kids.
As much as I hate reporting this, the mowing season has started at the Larro Ranchero. So for the next 7 or 8 months I will be behind on it. Today I used the push mower inside the garden fence{and around the front porch, pole barn and sheds}. I haven't run the numbers yet, but 2 hours mowing, 1 hour gardening, 45 minutes washing Margie's old Prius and 30 minutes doing dishes is going to be a pretty big burn. Now where is that chocolate cake now that I really need it?
Hope everyone had a good weekend,
Larro

Today would have been Margie's Mom's birthday. The lady loved Angels {and she was one herself} so we put one between her and Margie's brother's headstones this morning.

Landfish, I don't eat clean intentionally either. I have a Moscato periodically, and treat myself with popcorn weekly, and any quality chocolate whenever! The rest of my food, I work hard to balance protein, carbs, and fat - choosing the real fruits and veggies where possible - because it tastes better that way. For me it's a quality of life issue.
Allenpriest, Feel better soon!
Larro, I totally identify with the being behind on mowing as soon as you begin!
Here, my daughter and I repaired the dog-dug holes in our raised beds and put in strawberries (again! Stupid canine!) and peas. We also rigged a dog protection system from some wire fencing and zip ties. Y'all cross your fingers that this keeps our precious puppy from getting himself in trouble again.0
