Turned 40 in March, and I stepped on the scale today and am now at the highest weight I've ever been, even when I was pregnant with a 10 lb. baby! Ugh
Love crossfit, running, and karate, but have a desk job.
Have logged food in the past, but not consistently for a while. Would love to lose at least 30 lbs... also, not sure what I should use for macro percentages - what are others percentages?

It really varies person to person on what satiates them. 40%P/20%F/40%C works for me when I'm trying to lose weight. When I'm maintaining, It probably falls along a more even split.1 -

I LOVE Alison Kraus! I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing her live. But I think I did hear something recently about her going on tour so I'll have to check it out.
I read the Bear and the Nightingale recently. It was pretty good, but I haven't read the rest of the books in the series yet.
I think the best book(s) I've read pretty recently was the Rebel of the Sands series by Alwyn Hamilton if you like YA.3 -

Reading the above posts makes me curious. What book recommendations does anyone have? I need a new read.
I have been reading books by Shayne Parkinson: Sentence of Marriage (#1), Mud and Gold (#2), and now on Settling the Account.
I also recently read A Trace of Smoke by Rebecca Cantrell1 -

I added Rebel of the Sands to my goodreads. I read a lot of YA and middle grade as those are the ages I serve as a school librarian.1 -
Happy Friday Lovely Ladies!!!! Here's to an AWESOME weekend

I don't read a whole lot of contemporary fiction, but if you occasionally read historical fiction I highly recommend The Nightingale if you haven't read it. Hands down the best book I've read in the past couple of years. Just be prepared to be torn apart emotionally.1 -
