    Turned 50 this year. Was super fit and healthy after my divorce in mid 40's, but very unhappy. Was using exercise to get rid of stress demons. much happier now, but complacent. Joined gym last week through health insurance deal and went to first training session. Everything hurts, but excited to claim my body back. Want to lose 15-18 lbs and decrease body fat 8%. Would love to connect to other in the "experienced" realm.

    Hit goal & beyond with two days to add! I'm thankful for the Amazing Race Challenge. I'm thankful for MFP. I've pushed myself, awakened the competitor in me & been more accountable than I've been in years. Here's to finishing the year in better health!

    Way to go @MiamiSeoul on your goal!! You are fabulous!!

    Yea, that challenge has me working out harder than ever, though I know my minutes are starting to fade a bit as we get further along. Going to try to kick it back into gear for these last couple of weeks.

    Thanks @b3achy, you've been a great motivator & always so supportive! I don't think I've used MFP in the fall, because the last few weeks have been hard! We've all got to stay focused & end 2016 with a bang!

    GO GET YOUR GOALS!

    Tuesdays are double session days. This morning did strength work with my trainer. This evening's track workout got changed to a treadmill run due to heavy rain. Did a 5 mile negative split run, some stretching and foam rolling then called it a night.

    Yesterday I went to my first bicycle training class. We use our own bikes and the routine is computerized. The season started six weeks ago and I had to jump in. 600 calories, and I almost threw up. :# Can't wait until next week. lol

    So did you put your bikes on power based trainers and follow a course shown on a large screen? There's something highly motivating (and painful) about seeing everyone's power numbers (watts/rpm/etc) projected on the screen and trying to keep up. As a result, vomit sometimes happens. :)

    Had a nice paddle yesterday. First tried out my new race board for just a few minutes. Going to be a good board to grow into since it's more board than I'm used to handling (felt a little like the Titanic compared to my short boards). It's the board in my avatar picture. After I went for a short paddle on my SUP surf board ~2.5 miles in just under an hour (strong wind from the south). Just nice to get back on the water after a couple of weeks of being cooped up due to not feeling great.

    Today was gym day. Got my weights in, as well as that dastardly stair master (there is a stair challenge in one of my groups). Had to do some short intervals on the stair master, but finished my challenge with 2000 steps/stairs done between Monday and Today.

    Tomorrow looks promising for a nice slow long paddle on one of my short boards (don't get the race board until Monday).

    Hope everyone is having a great week!

    No worries there. Your fifties will make most "forties issues" irrelevant ;)
