Hola everyone!!!! Busy busy! My son is officially out of the school system. I've bee feeling emotional. His graduation was yesterday and I cried a river. We are hoping to place him in a day care center for adults with disabilities soon. I want him to continue being engaged as much as possible. I had a good cardio intervals/ab burner workout today but succumbed to sweets. Ugh!! I need to get it together!!!!! Why can't I maintain my weight loss!!!!!!!!0

Wow. Things have gotten quite on here. Good luck with finding a placement for your son Alf. I have seen others juggling things and I know it can be a challenge.
Great consistency with your workouts Gam3rguy.
Me and Missy took it easy today, she's recovering from something that hopefully the $385 vet bill will fix. We walked about 2 mi and played in the yard. My samsung S health app 96 active minutes average per day last month and 114 active minutes per day last week. And that doesn't include my swimming because I don't log it in that app, only in MFP. My activity levels and fitness are definitely improving now if only the scale would move (DOWN).
My brooks sneakers...I got the Launch 2. The right one is super comfortable. The left one was laced too tight and possibly defective as it hurt the top of my foot. I over loosened and got a blister on my achilles so... If I can get the left to be like the right then I will love them. I have not worn my over the counter orthotics with them and that seems to be working. They were $99.99 at Dick's.
Larro - my garden is ramping up - we have huge pumpkin leaves. I think the kids went over board with the pumpkins. I need to figure out how to kill off Japanese Knot Weed and put down some grass seed in the back yard.
Caramel, KellySue, EmmaLu'smom - how you all doing?

I've been chugging along, doing the usual kickboxing and kettlebell and biking to work. Didn't work out last night as my step daughter, her boyfriend and the baby came by to discuss her and the baby moving in. Her mom is moving and they're not ready to move into their own place as they're insistent they want to save to put a downpayment on a small place out of town (personally I want to help but you have a baby, you should be living together and if you have to rent for now so be it) so she's going to be moving in in August and staying until May next year (or possibly June if it works out her picking up the kids at the bus stop).
I'm off to kickboxing and self defence tonight, kettlebell and kickboxing tomorrow and the kids have a PD day on Monday so if the weather co-operates we're going out to The Pinery provincial park to hike and go to the beach.
Next week I'm going to take a week off working out, the week after I'm going to try eating at TDEE and get back into my workouts and then the week after I'll go back to a deficit. I'm just not seeing any changes, I started at 148 in January, down to 143 late March and back to 147. My activity and eating has remained the pretty consistent throughout. I do wonder if is partially hormonal being premenopausal, so I'm taking something from my naturopath that is suppose to help.
Just getting very frustrated, two years ago I maintained at 137 no problems and ate ice cream every day and didn't work out as much as I do now. Which makes me wonder if I need to scale back the workouts, but I love the workouts I do and I love the challenge and feeling stronger! Bah, I wouldn't even worry about the numbers on the scales, but I can feel the pants getting snugger and I don't like that at all!0 -
Hey Cool Kids.
Sorry I haven't been posting as much. But I do the same thing everyday, so it gets old saying I worked in the garden today. So with that said, I worked in the garden today. Just kidding. I did pick, but that is about it. I worked on the garden fence for a couple of hours. I'm about an hour or so from being done, but it just got too hot for me out there.
Today is Margie's birthday {she is 62} and she took the day off from work. Cousins John and Dee took us to the Altha Diner for breakfast {after I had ate my regular breakfast}. I had a ham, egg and cheese biscuit, and turned down Margie's leftover pancake. Since we are doing Pizza Hut tonight, I went really lite for lunch. Margie has a week long conference in Kissimmee {near Orlando} starting tomorrow, so I will be roughing it next week.
Hope everyone has a good weekend,
Larro
The numbers for the week:
20.6% Body Fat
23.8 BMI
170.0 Pounds
That is a gain of 0.6 pounds for the week. Not too bad since I spent a couple of days as low as 168.

It is quiet on here....I agree with Nick. Where is everyone? Must be having more fun than Me.
Nick - great job on all the activity! I hope Missy is okay. I am a dog lover. I have a mini daushund but she my best friend. Not much for a running dog, but for her little legs she keeps up quite well.
Furballs- I have been going through the premenopausal thing for awhile now. The only thing I can say is it has been hell. I give you credit for staying motivated. I got to a point I just lost all motivation when scale did not go down and that was the WRONG thing to do. It went up. Right now things are just staying the same but I will take that for now. At least I have stabilized. I am not putting enough workouts in to complain but at least I am starting to try again and feel hopeful.
Larro - you make me laugh. Do not ever feel like you are boring me. I look forward to your posts and pictures. I wish you were here to fence my garden:) I will try to get done this weekend.
Alf - my heart goes out to you as your son transitions to the next stage of life. I know how hard that must be. You are an awesome mom.
Caramel, Beeps, Curious??? Where are you?0 -
Alf, I am sure it was hard on you with your son being out of school. It's a big change. Hopefully all of you will adjust to a new place and schedule for him. As for the maintaining??? I know what my problem is?? I haven't been eating as well as usual the last week and haven't excercised as much either. I need to totally get back on track and make it a priority in my life. I have gained like 3 lbs and am a little disappointed in myself.
Things have been busy the last week or so. My niece is graduating high school tomorrow and then there is the party after that. We still need to get our garden going, it was hot here for a few days, then cold and rainy for several, then my husband messed up his back, so hopefully this weekend the garden will get planted.
Have a nice weekend everyone.0 -
Happy Friday everyone . I've been trying to stay busy working out and helping my oldest son get ready for life outside of home. My husband comes home tonight can hardly take it 2 and half months is a long time apart . Other than trucking along focusing on my youngest son and living life.0

Spent time at the pool with my granddaughter this morning. Then I found a puppy roaming around. I still have her. She is adorable. Looks like your dog gam but smaller. I can't keep her, I have 3 dogs.

Hi everyone! I am 45 and lost 70 pounds at one time thanks to MFP. I gained thirty-five back because of not watching what I was eating after getting an injury. Now after having surgery completed to get the injury taken care of I am looking forward to losing around 40 pounds.0

Seven days in a row of working out. ZOOM! (Four days lifting + 7 days cardio)
Results: zero pounds lost.
What a joke!0 -
This is great and I would love to join! I'm 42 and recommitting to MFP! Between a new promotion at work, getting married in April, and my mother in law passing, I've let things slide. Haven't gained but just don't feel healthy and looking for motivation!0

Hello everybody!! Busy day here so far and its not even noon yet!!!
Today was the first day of summer school for my new first grader, he was very excited!!! After I took him (we missed the bus, passed earlier than they said it would) I left my car in the elementary school parking lot and walked to the highschool track, ran/walked 4 miles... Felt good despite the humidity...thinking of just taking him and doing that and asking when the community gym will b open so I can take advantage of it too if possible..
I didn't have breakfast before I left, but when I got home I was starving! Had a huge breakfast.. (More like brunch) now I feel like I have much more energy than yesterday after breakfast..unfortunately I have to go sit with my laptop for a couple hours and work!
Hope everyone has a great day..
Larro.... That meal looked delicous!!0 -
