40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

Shoulders=DONE!

dawnie, my "angst" over this surgery is completely out-of-proportion to the event! Logically, it is a small thing, with a great result....meanwhile, I want to crawl into a hole about it.

Silly.

Anyway, I lifted again, today. Three lifting days in a row...my swan song to lifting for a couple weeks.

Weight is holding steady....it should sink, again, while I fast prior to the surgery, lol!

BOOM!

Beeps, good luck with your surgery.

good luck Beeps!

rest day for me. I may hit the foam roller this evening though.

Chest & Tris=DONE!

You just added yourself.

Please add me as a friend
I need all the help I can get!

Good Evening Cool Kids.

I have the night off, and after how late I worked last night, that's a good thing. I figured I would nap sometime today, but the garden got in the way of that. We are really dry all of a sudden, and I'm having to run the soaker hoses and sprinklers more than I like. Everything is slowing down anyway. My late melons are so small I have been eating a couple of them every morning while I'm in the garden.

I did have one garden related aggravation this afternoon. I was hoeing the young peas while the sprinklers were running and I could hear someone cutting their grass. The folks who live down on the river are too close for my comfort.

The Fall Equinox is Monday night at 2129 {Larro time}, so all of you remember to burn money and dance naked under the moon for good luck. I'm not sure if it actually brings good luck, but it feels really good. {the dancing part, not the burning money part, I never can get comfortable doing that}

Beeps, I hope everything went well.

Welcome to all the new guys and hello to everyone else.

Here are the numbers for the week:
20.4% Body Fat
23.6 BMI
168.9 Pounds

That is a gain of 1.6 pounds for the week. My secret for weight gain was for Sister to have her 60th birthday. We had 3 birthday suppers this past week, and none of them were what you would call healthy.

I went right back to my bad {low calorie} eating with a Chipolte Chicken Stir-fry tonight. 53 calories/100 grams.



You guys have a good one,

Larro

I am 40 years old and o would like to join this group. I am trying to loose 70 pounds.. I have just started to workout at a local gym for 6 days a week. Unfortunately I have only lost a pound. I workout from moderate to high intensity at least 45 mins. What else should I do to speed up my weight loss?

Snd remember Yoda.
There is no try. There is only do.

In some time on here my observation is if someone says they are"trying" then they really aren't determined enough yet to make all the changes needed to take it off and keep it off.

I'm not being harsh or picking on you. I had over 200 pounds to lose. I'm about half way there. I've "tried" losing it many times. But I was not really willing to cut the calories and to stop using food as an emotional crutch. I've done counseling to learn better ways to cope with some issues. And that has freed me to get my intake under control.

Finally you didn't gain it overnight and you won't lose it quickly. And you just need to lose one pound then repeat that a bunch of times. Celebrate the one. Then do it again.

Beeps hope the surgery went well!

Bah, still at 148 lbs, nothing moving. Need to try and be more diligent and reduce sugar and carbs. Not sure how well that will go. I have to admit with working out as often and hard as I do I resent having to give up the stuff I like when I try to be mindful of what I eat day to day and I feel like I earn my little treats.

Just turned 40 and would love to join. Goals are cleaner eating, more consistent exercise, and to be a healthier role model for my son. So glad this group is here!
