40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Hey Kid's !
Thought I check in. Still maintaining though I keep re-gaining/re-losing the last 6 lbs.
Just cleared out and painted Josie's playroom for another teenager. I asked my son how his friend Dillon was doing we hadn't seen him in a while. He said he was staying in a homeless shelter. I was like WHAT ? No. You tell him to come here/call us. So we'll have a 18 year old living here soon; he's a senior. I was really happy Jeff re-acted the same way I did. He even told Jonas to let us know when graduation was; He needs someone there when he walks across the stage. Dillon said he'd invited his parents but didn't know if they were coming or not. I just don't understand people sometimes.
Josie also took her pre-k test tuesday; So I'm patiently waiting to see if she was accepted or not. I plan to dance naked in the street when she goes. LOL. Though I may give it a few days to see if they call me to come get her first.

Anyway....
KelllieSue - Your doing great hun but be sure to ask for help if you need it. Care giving can be very tiring.

Well gotta get motivated. Josie's running around in her underwear. Kid's always changing clothes.

hello, hello to all you kids! It has been a busy week, between track practices & meets, spring band and chorus concerts, work and appointments I am maxed. Did get in a really great workout on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were a wash, today was supposed to be gym at 4:30 and I got uprooted and never made it. Have a had a great week with eating though. I have soooo increased my veggie and fruit intake the last couple of weeks. Slow an steady wins the race, right?

So glad to read all your posts! Brought smiles to my face along the way and some chuckles. Great going to all of you!

Went over 100 pounds lost today.

I would like to join this awesome group.

REST=...fail. gonna be a heavy lifting day at work today!

AP - Nice job breaking the 100. Welcome Jinger.
Kate - you're amazing. Having been one of those kids (not homeless but not wanting to go home for very good reasons) you're making an impact.
Great job all.
Missy has gotten herself in trouble thinking little people (kiddos) are puppies. She is lucky she is a quick study. After one hour clicker/treat training, she listened to my son's NO this morning. Now to get her not to start in the first place. I upped her exercise too - 2.35 miles by geodistance.com track. My phone was way off saying over 3 miles 19 min jogging, 22 walking - average of 3.4mph. I AM SOOOO SLOW :-(
Work time...

I lifted!

I weighed!

I am still 3 lbs from my first goal. Blech.

Event1. Is 6 days away.

I hope you all are having a good Friday. Sorry I haven't been around lately. My mother in law passed on Tuesday and we had been with her while she was hospitalized for the last few days and at home when they allowed her to leave. The hardest part will be trying to explain it to my 5 yo daughter. She spent a lot of time with her grandparents and she will miss her very much. Somehow I have managed to to regain a lot of my weight back. I will get myself back in gear and on track after the funeral next week. I have been trying to log what I can, even if I go over.

Crosbylee, so sorry about your loss. Just take care of your family for now, don't stress about the scale right now.
I did the first mowing of the season today, we mow a lot of area and takes about 2 hours on the zero turn, but it looks really nice. The workers are in the fields we lease out for cow corn, spreading the poo poo platter. Thank goodness they plow it in right away, so it only smells for a day or two. I had put some jeans out to dry on the deck railing, so I need to grab them in when I see them coming in the fields closer to the house.
Trying to clean a little today, having a couple people over for cake for mom Sunday.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Crosby, so sorry for us loss, my prayers are with you. One day at a time.

Beeps, don't let perfect get in the way of good. I'm sure your wit will be popping out of that tight dress so that no one will notice anything else. {Unless they are men or women}

Crosby, sorry for your loss.

Natalie, it is good that the manure is getting used for fertilizer, but you guys be careful. If they put it out too strong it can get into your ground water.

Ruby, nice looking horse. Also nice looking country road. Both my roads used to be dirt. Now {as Jeff Foxworthy would say} they are as hard as a turtle's back.

Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else.

Here are the numbers for the week:

20.8% Body Fat
23.8 BMI
170.5 Pounds

That is a gain of 0.4 pounds for the week. 0.5 pounds of which happened since yesterday.

I'm sure you guys have all heard the old tale of the Orange cat stuck in the wishing well while Bad Word looked on.

Crosby, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Beeps, I know you've been tracking your weight, but how are the clothes fitting?

Ruby, that is a beautiful horse!

Triciaagar, nice job with the loss! I can't believe you have sugar gliders, they're so cute!

Larro, nice pic.

Hit up cardio kickboxing tonight, love kicking and pnching that heavy bag! Made it to self defence class where my uncanny klutziness stru k! Was doing great and managed to catch my foot on my own pants on a takes and landed hard on my knee, swollen beside the cap now. On the plus side my hip throw rocked.

Tomorrow is my youngests' 6th birthday party with the family so it'll be busy. Being May 2-4 (Victoria Day) I'm also going to get some plants, though there was a frost last night. Sunday is bday brekkie, groceries, plants and coffee with a friend and Monday will be planting, if the weather co-operates.

Taught a class of boy scouts the Cotizenship in the World merit badge all day. Good times! The kids were engaged and interested.

So I thought I would log on and read all the posts from the weekend. What do I find?
