    Happy Monday kids. I decided to do a 3 day back to back hot Pilates with my daughter this weekend. Needless to say my abs and glutes took a beating. Gam3rguy, bottle up that energy of yours and sell it. Cool kids rock. Have a great day everyone.

    Hi guys, I would like to join this group. I'm 52 and need to loose 40 pounds. I've been working out at HEW, our local cross fit gym 4 days a week for about a year. Very hard workouts but I feel good after I'm finished. Saying all that I'm not losing any weight and after speaking with one of my coaches he suggested that my nutrition was not good. I guess too many late night pizzas with the kids. :# So I've decided to start MFP again to get it where it needs to be I'm trying LCHF diet. Wish me luck.

    Today's workout, mostly cardio, I burned 413 active calories and 515 total calories. I normally don't burn that much but we didn't lift today.

    Hi cool kids - thank you all for the bday wishes! :) It was a really nice day.

    Like much of the country, we are now experiencing summer temperatures. I'll take it! Sunday did one of my favourite hikes. Took me 3.5 hours, so I was happy. An 11km challenging hike that can take 3 to 5 hours. We even stopped and had a little break and try and cool down a bit. It was 28C hiking, so we were sweaty messes when we were done.

    Travelling for work over the next few days. I know I will be doing a lot of walking, but not sure how much logging I will be doing.

    last week only saw a 1lb loss. I'm blaming it on the wine I enjoyed at the wedding I attended Saturday night. :tongue:

    have a great day all!

    Hi Kids, and welcome to all the noobs;

    @sdereski - Belated Birthday Wishes!
    @gam3rguy - That inflatable must have made for a wild race finish!

    I came close to melting into the pavement on Sunday during a 5k race. Race started at 1pm in humid 90 degree temps. Uncomfortable to say the least. I managed to finish 2nd of 12 in the age group, so I guess the other old guys must have felt as badly as I did.

    I'm enjoying the chance to focus on running, now that tri season is done. Cooler weather forecast here this weekend should make it feel great to run and bike outdoors.

    Hey kids, legs this morning. Been watching Ashley Horner on YouTube and decided to try it. Needless to say, my legs are screaming. Welcome newbies. Have a great day kids.

    Hit and passed my mileage goal for running this month. I'm going to up it for October, but I haven't decided how much yet. I can't wait for cooler weather! Running in the heat and humidity is not my favorite.

    In non-exercise news, I got accepted to the Spring Disney College Program. Yes, I'm 42, but since I'm in college, I meet the requirements, LOL. I haven't decided whether or not to accept, as it means uprooting my life. All my friends want to accept, but I have to have a real discussion with my husband before I can truly decide. I'm really torn, as it's a great opportunity, but it would be a huge change.

    It finishes with a slide. So far most pics haven’t turned out so well, but there is one at the finish. I met up with a few Facebook friends and their team and I got to be in their group pic. I’m in the back row next to Phil (with his arms in the air).
    Found another pic at the start...aaaaaaand I look cranky.

    That's quite a crew, looks like a blast.

    And I'd try to sell that starting photo as your pre-race focused look, since it sounds better than cranky. I understand the look, though. My friends all joke about staying away from "Pre-Race Dave", since apparently I'm in no mood for exchanging pleasantries before a race. :)

    Happy Friday kids. Full body lifting done. Gam3rguy, how much for a can?lol. Zenni, I am trying to hike this weekend. I notice I am more hungry these days. I just saw an article posted on here from MFP about this very thing. I will try the suggestions and see if my pangs settle. Have a great day kids.
