    Hi all,
    Beeps - good thing muscles have memory. You will be back to where you were sooner than you think.
    allenpriest - happy birthday - next week. :)
    Curious - am sure you will find that gym that works for you. Oh, and KEEP OUT OF THE LUNCH ROOM! :p
    I know how you feel. Had to cook dinner for a B&B guest on Sunday, and made homemade coconut cream pie (my fav) for dessert. I was good....I only had one tiny, slim slice yesterday. My husband ate the REST. It's done now, so the temptation is gone. Other than that slim piece of pie, had a real good day otherwise.

    I worked with my PT trainer yesterday. It was a new routine, and a good one. She is incorporating strength, which is what I want. Told her to keep away from Cardio - I do enough of it. My upper body is a little sore today.

    Have a lunch date with my g/f today - can't wait. Seems like we haven't seen each other is months! That's summer tho.

    Own your day peeps!

    I like it (the title ;) I am a mother of four; had three of those in almost as many years. I would like to now lose, once and for all, 35 pounds by the end of the year.

    That's a very ambitious goal. You might need to extend your time frame.

    Well I did good at kettlebell last night and I'm feeling it in my back today! See saw rows with the 12 kilo bells. So tonight I'm taking time off. Back to Kickboxing tomorrow.

    Tornado warnings in my area yesterday! Imagine that. I ran anyway and they didn't happen. Finished the run, did a bit of a cool down, got in my car and the sky opened up and it POURED rain for about 5 minutes. :)
    Beautiful sky last night over the lake. Should have taken a picture - the colours and the clouds were spectacular.

    Each run gets a little better. Was actually able to talk and run yesterday and finished the run a minute faster than I did last week. Yay!

    Weird for the tornado stuff, sdereski....CONGRATS on the runs, though!! Nice to see how fast you are improving, for sure. YOU ARE GREAT!

    I lifted today. And, am figuring out how to design a challenge for 1 lb per week weight loss ....a challenge that I can REALLY dig into and participate in wholeheartedly!

    BOOM!

    Ditto what Beeps said Sdereski! You're doing awesome! Good timing on the rain.
    Beeps, the challenge sounds like a good idea. Doable goal. What's the plan?
    G3G, it looks like your time was very well spent.
    Furballs, definitely be nice to your back! Enjoy the rest day.
    My rest day was yesterday. Today it's back to the gym. I'm still following the 4X/week routine my PT set up for me months ago ... each two day segment works the whole body, and there's a rest day in between. I'm also adding my chiro-specific work for my neck/back. I do think I'm making progress there, so that's great! May be able to peddle the non-motorized bike to work again in another week or so.

    Good Evening Cool Kids.

    I've been tooling along, doing the gardening thing. I picked peas today, the 3rd picking on this planting. Bad Word helped by finding the best shade.

    Our county's Senior Citizen Association had their annual fundraiser, Death by Chocolate, tonight at the Civic Center. I went very light and still logged 940 calories. I could have easily tried about five times as much.

    Got to run. It's winding down, so now I get to clean up.

    You guys have a good one,

    Larro

    Larro, that chocolate assortment looks fabulous.

    I'm feeling a bit down today. I just picked up reading glasses this week and I was told I had mild sleep apnea today. Feeling old. I had a nice dinner with a friend which cheered me up, although it blew my calorie goal to pieces.

    Good morning, everyone! I'm 45 and just started seriously logging on MFP. I have 96 more lbs to lose. I am using Nutrisystem and doing wonderful (when I stay OP). I've lost 17 lbs so far. I'm currently not exercising due to knee and feet issues, but plan to once I lose some more weight. I would like to join your group as I need all the help and encouragement I can get. It's nice to meet all of you.

    Have a great day!

    Happy Friday Cool Kids,

    Welcome Terri. Good work and good luck on this weight loss journey. I did Nutri System YEARS ago. lol. Oh, I've done them ALL! I now use Isagenix (for the past 7 years) and LOVE it!
    gam3rguy - way to keep it going!
    Beeps - I'm sure you will figure out a good challenge and stick to it.
    Larro - Death by Chocolate? What a glorious way to die. :D Truthfully, if I continued to eat chocolate like I was, I was certainly on a fast track to my grave.

    Had my PT session yesterday - more strength. :smile:
    It is our annual Salmon Derby this weekend. Normally, I am in charge of the dock workers and it is always a challenge. If there is a vacancy, I would just put myself in there. This year, I am actually fishing with my husband AND trying to organize the dock. UGH. What a challenge! It starts at 5 p.m. today and I still have vacancies for Saturday. :#
    I gave them my notice - let them know this is the last year I am doing this (it is all volunteer, with barely a thank you) so.............no more! I don't need the stress!

    Have a great weekend all - hope we get lucky out on the water.

    Good Evening Cool Kids.

    I was running on empty today. Got in from work at 0315 and got woke up at 0545. Couldn't get back to sleep, so I got on up. I worked in the garden {discing here and at Mamma's garden and planting peas} until lunchtime, then took a serious nap this afternoon.I had trouble waking up, so didn't cook a real supper tonight, just steak stir-fry, veggies and a sandwich. There was enough daylight after supper to re-plant {for the 3rd time} the green beans. I'm starting to believe a fall crop of green beans is just not possible with the heat here.

    CG, hope the exercise will make your neck and back feel better. I've had a nagging back ache for about 4 days. Picking cucumbers and pulling weeds is an adventure right now.

    Sdereski, it doesn't seem like it's been a year since your last Salmon Derby. Time is flying.

    Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else.

    You guys have a good one,

    Larro


    PS: Here are the numbers for the week:

    20.0% Body Fat
    23.4 BMI
    167.3 Pounds

    That is a loss of 0.6 pounds for the week. I guess I should have had a 2nd plate of chocolate last night.

    Moved dirt to fill in where we had the ash trees cut down due to the borer problem. 1600 pounds of top soil a 40 pound bag at a time. Ugh
