40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

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!1 -

Anyone here got your December goals in mind?
I plan to be 5 lbs more down, switch up the cardio with step aerobics/ elliptical, and stay on point with my macros. Also looking to fine tune my weightlifting routine better. Need a workable plan for exercising during vacation at the end of the month. That will be tough! I won't have access to a gym or equipment! Ugh! I'm spoiled. Need to make a list of body weight exercises I can do to stay halfway on track! We will at least do a lot of walking.3 -

@allenpriest So true! I just realized that this summer I'll be racing in the men's 60-64 age group. How the heck did that happen?1 -
Good morning friends,
Wanted to check in after participating in Orange theory fitness for a week. All in , it's a fun class based system and I'm feeling results right away. This workout supplements my lifting program so feels like a good fit.
With Intuitive eating and these workouts I was able to lose 11 pounds in November. Pretty happy to be back on track and looking forward to continue with this approach moving forward.
Best Wishes for a great December.
Please add me if you are looking for friends
Jeff

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength" - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Three years ago I embarked on a fitness journey as a part of a challenge I had with my son - I set out to loose 46 lbs before my 46th birthday. I celebrated each 10 lb milestone with a small token to remind me of the value of what I had accomplished - the commitment, the sacrifice, the choices. Over the last three years my son has struggled with a drug addiction and my life has been a roller coaster. After the 3rd attempt to take his own life, I decided that regardless of whether he chose to live or not . . . I choose to live! Today, I can say that he is in a good place (not drug free but not in crisis) and that I am strong to my boundaries regarding my son, his lifestyle and his choices. I am starting to put my life back together and get back to a healthier version of me. Today, I am just as proud to post this picture - that celebrates 10 lbs lost - as I was 3 years ago (new profile pic, there is a better one on my FB page - https://www.facebook.com/TeamDontMessWithTheMommaPage)5 -
Happy December 1st!
I celebrated with a 5.25 mile paddle on my usual circuit. Started out cloudy, but the sun came out and it was glorious, especially for the first day of December. I love living in FL! Saw some dolphins, a bunch of sharks, tons of fish, many stingrays, herons, pelicans, and crabs. Was a nice couple of hours on the water.0 -

So I am living in a hotel for the next few weeks on a job. The hotel gym has a flat bench and dumbbells only with limited space and a carpeted floor that I do not want to do floor work on.
First world problems for sure but frustrating.
Varied lifts- done 3 -

Way to improvise! Leaving the end of the month to LA for a few weeks to see my sister in law. I will have to get creative. Those kids will most likely become my weights! Time to play airplane with Auntie Shelly!2 -

Today was the last day of the "step back week" in our marathon training. This morning we had a fun group assembled for our easy paced 10 miler on a beautiful early winter day. Ran one of our favorite routes around a local pond and through some pretty residential areas. Slow pace allowed our coach plenty of time to give us highlights of her trip to Training Peaks HQ in Boulder, Co. She's now full of ideas for our next 4 week training block, including adding another bike session and 2 swims/week to our run block. That means the recovery party is over as of tomorrow.
Love to read the posts from the Cool Kids who are figuring out ways to stay active while away from home. Very inspiring. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend...2 -

Beeps, Oh how I have missed you. I know you are still lifting heavy things. Happy Monday everyone. Hot Yoga boot camp completed. I can not believe I kept putting that class off and after taking the plunge, I am now totally addicted. If my energy is still in rare form, I will take TRX later. Have a great day kids.2
