40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Hey all - another Salmon derby in the books!
Had a great time out on the water with my hubby. The waters were pretty rough and by Sunday, really rough. We came off early as it was just getting too wild. Wind blew my hat right off my head - it was gone! Goodbye Johnny Reid! Thought it would bring me luck. LOL.

Here are a couple pictures from the water. Anyone know how to load a video?

Happy Tuesday Cool Kids,
I'm off on a work-related road trip to Sacramento tomorrow. Should find some warmth there. It hasn't climbed out of the 60s here in awhile. Continues to be smokey and overcast.
I road my bike yesterday, and it didn't hurt my neck to badly, so that's a good sign. Today I did a brisk walk to the bus instead of ride again. I don't want to take chances of messing it up, so will ease back into the bike commuting more next week when I'm back.
Larro, that chocolate looked so good. I can't believe you didn't have a second helping! I like the idea of growing bags in a pool!
Glaciergirl, I hope the hunting is good for you! We're struggling to find a new place to hunt. The public lands are vacant of deer and pigs.
Sdereski, it does seem like the last salmon derby just happened! Looks like it was fun. How many/how big? I'd like to hear more about Isagenix. It looks pretty pricey. Worth it?
G3G, rock on!
AP, I love state fairs. I've only been once, and unfortunately it won't be happening when I'm there this week. They are definitely a fun place to watch folks, not to mention pick up a set of ginsu knives!
Furballs, that sounds like a busy morning. Hope the back quiets down.
Beeps, it looks like your back in the groove! BOOM!
As for my fall plans, it's 1. get back to 3x per week bicycle commute; 2. keep getting to the gym at least 3x per week. That plus the weekend warrior antics. This is my big push to get to goal before my late November 5-0 birthday.

allenpriest....around here, there are only 2 seasons: winter and construction.

Good Evening Cool Kids.

We had the Blountstown City elections here at the Civic Center today, so Margie is here trying to ride herd on two new guys on the Canvasing Board. It was a really low turn out, so they should be done soon.

I worked on my new no-till soil mix today. It is mushroom mulch, peat moss, cow manure, two kinds of potting soil {I got a deal at Big Lots}, lava rocks, lime, blood meal, bone meal, worm castings and coffee grounds. It is supposed to sit for 21 days, but I had cucumbers that were starting to vine {inside, under the lights}, so it was transplant them now or never.



Not sure when or how I did it, but I tweaked my knee today. I did climb in and out of the back of the truck a lot. Also on my hands and knees moving plants around under the lights. I find I spend almost as much time tending those plants as my outside garden. Now if I could just learn to do the outside one first when it was still cool.

CG, the guys who had the Chocolate event brought us a heaping to-go container the next day, so I have been nibbling all along.

Sdereski, if you have your video loaded to You Tube, just copy and paste the address. Nice pictures. How many fish did you guys catch.

Beeps, my fall plans are to garden less.

Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else. You guys have a good one,

ha ha ha ha ha

Funniest thing, ever!

I will miss your photos.....I don't ever garden, myself, so I cannot really do less than zero.

Hi all,
We caught one small lake trout. It weighed in at 4.55lbs. We had several releases, but nothing stuck!

Got my workout in yesterday - lots of strength, which I like. It was cool outside, but the rain stopped and it was okay to workout outside. My PT said she can see an improvement in us.
Okay, hope the video works. Don't get sea sick. LOL.

The weather is TOO GOOD TO WASTE.

ZOOM!

It was in the 60's here the last two mornings. Chilly.

Hello all! I'm looking forward to the ceremony weather here in Florida. A break from the humidity would be great.

Strength workout done yesterday! Started planning our Muddy Moose 5km challenge which takes place in 2 weeks! Should be fun - there are 6 of us going. We just need to work on our moose call - never mind the running.

10lbs down as of this morning! YES! or "BOOM" as Beeps would say.

Lifting done! BOOM!

Tomorrow is "weigh-in" day, so wish me luck, there....

Welcome char I've been in and out for bit I have the 15 more to loose I have been stuck. No matter what it don't want to come off I eat great I change up my workout I just don't get it. Linda bummed wish I would of drop it before I get to see my husband which I have not seem in 3 months. I need something extreme . I will send nothing but good vibes your way you are strong and can make it just keep up the hard work and everything else will fall into place .

Hi Cool Kids! Your posts give me a feeling that I would fit this gang pretty well. How can I join?

Good Morning Cool Kids.

We are having a cloudy, misty day here. Just in time for me to set out a few pepper and tomato plants. Earlier in the week I set out a few, and some of the tomatoes didn't take to the bright sunlight after spending all their short life under weak florescent lights. Here is what I did this morning.



I decided to let them stay in the little pots for another week or so. Adjusting to the sun will be enough of a shock to them, without having to deal with my new soil mix {Darro Dirt?}, which has a lot of mushroom compost in it. If you are not careful, too much of the compost will burn stuff up.

I forgot to post my numbers yesterday. Margie and I went stove shopping in the AM, {she bought a Samsung Double Convection Oven}, and I worked in the garden all afternoon. I just barely got my What's for Supper???? pictures posted before I was down for the count.

Well, here they are:
19.9% Body Fat
23.3 BMI
167.0 Pounds

That is a loss of 0.3 pounds for the week. I'll try to do better next week.

Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else. Hope you guys have a good one,

Larro

I am down 0.8 lbs since monday....I have to eek out another 0.2 lb loss if I want my STAR for week one of my Fall Back Challenge! BOOM!

Also, i got my cardio workout in and done this morning. ZOOM!
