48 this year. Been doing MyFP off and on for years, and am here again. My attitude is different this time, so I believe I am going to do better. Before I would do everything oh so perfect for a while (sometimes months) but I'd inevitably mess up, and then I'd give up. I'm changing the way I think about things (it's a work in progress). If I go over, well, I'm over, and the next day is another chance to do better. So, would love to have some more friends to help with that.3

Happy Friday All ! 88 Degrees in Boston today
Goodmorning. Its 58 degrees in cabazon ca
Ok so what is
55f
88f
58f
In Celsius lol
To give you a guide.......16 degrees Centigrade is 61 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Conversion Formula is T(°F) = T(°C) × 1.8 + 32.
So, 55f is 13c.
So, 58f is is 14.5c.
So, 88f is 31c.
My time in Germany was well spent.
Thank you, I appreciate that .. 0 -
Lots of great "middle agers" here. So, for those of you that exercise - what is your "go to" workout?nickylee76 wrote: »Hmmmm I thought 40 was the new 30 and now I find out I'm middle aged.... Damn it!!!
I agree with @nickylee76 ... I don’t want to be middle aged. I just turned 40!
My go to workout is stair climbing, walking, chasing/throwing the football (my son is a kicker), breaking up wrestling matches, etc... I was active with crossfit but our gym recently closed.0 -
Hey everyone! Turned 50 last November and am turning over a new leaf. Sick of being tired and sick! After many years of marriage, I finally get to do something for myself. Besides, if the Zombie apocalypse ever happens..I need to up my cardio!

It gets better.....I am 51 and LOVING IT! 45 was my best year. By far!
Love that attitude. I must admit I do worry about hitting my 40s/50s but you make it sound okay.
Dude, cant get into the details here (I would be SO BANNED! And likely hated....but ask me where my "dont give a f**k meter" is? That's right - way the f**k up there (pointing towards the sky)) but let's just say that 50 is the new 30's! AND THEN SOME. It really is all mindset. 40's were just the start.
Embrace it, man! I mean, what is the alternative? Not having another birthday? I tell everyone that I am six feet tall and not six feet under. God willing, I look forward to #52. Enjoy 40 and start killing it!3 -
Hi all turning 49 soon and in better shape now than in my twenties. Still fighting it and looking for friends to help motivate.
Exactly....I was an athlete for a long time. Better in the last five years than in my teens and 20's. I am telling y'all! It only gets better. Just stay consistent and keep on, keeping on. Find excuses to go to the gym instead of not going. I can not tell you how many times I have been on the way home after work (instead of going to the gym) and all of a sudden something clicks in my head....WTF am I doing? Well, headed the wrong way, that's what! And I turn my happy *kitten* around and kill it in the gym. Mindset, people! I am telling you....you get that right, look out!
Fight it? Embrace it? Whatever words you use....it is the same fight (I would suggest - since I like to see the positive in everything - that 'embrace it' might help more with the mindset....at least, for me). Whatever works for you. I am telling y'all! If I knew back at 20 what I now know.....HOLY COW!
Anyway, don't listen to those folks...."Hey, old man!" and the like. Just let them think what they think. And then, when the opportunity presents itself, humbly surprise the s**t out of them! Can't tell you how satisfying that is. The look of "Oh, s**t! He can do that!" on their face.....PRICELESS!
Anyway....enjoy! Humbly dominate!0 -

Time......the 800lbs gorilla in the room for just about everyone. I used to train a couple of gentlemen who were just a little bit older than I. Schedule was always an issue. Funny, I got tired of their excuses (and that is what they were) and asked them to document every half hour what they were doing......watching way too much TV....that is what they were doing.
My point....if training is really what you want to do and it genuinely is important to you then find a way to make the time. Remember when you first met someone and excitement and anticipation rule your emotions and you make time to see that person, to spend time with that person? Chrissie! Gym! Gym! Chrissie!0 -
Good morning peeps! Lets have a great holiday weekend!
Sitting in Starbucks here on University Parkway and listening to people complain about the weather. Yes, it is raining like crazy here in Winston-Salem. But, we all have 10 fingers and 10 toes....we have the option to get up and go to Starbucks (or, not....or, somewhere else).
Not to get political, but let's take a moment and remember our fallen. Those brave Americans who paid the ultimate price so that we can go to Starbucks (or not!).
I am proud to say that my father is retired U.S.M.C and that my little brother is retired U.S.A.F - thank you for your service, Dad! Thank you for your service, Chad!
Happy Memorial Day, everyone!1 -

Good Sunday Morning! Can’t wait to get to the gym and do my body good. Made a freaking great Jambalaya yesterday and didn’t go overboard. Looking for a nutritional win this upcoming week. Carpe Diem!0
