Good mornin' all! Had a great tabata class last night, no workout today since I have to work this crazy re-training double crud. Enjoy your losses/gains today!0

Happy Wednesday! Had a great reunion with a lifting session last night, as well as a spin class. Ate pretty well too. Two days does not a habit make, so hoping for the trifecta today. Carpe Diem!1

Out mountain biking with the ankle biters; long story short, pinch puncture (immediate deflation) of front tyre, lose control, off bike, land with a bump, left elbow is now up like a balloon, lower back, left hip and left butt ache lots - but I drink with my right hand - so still fine!!!2 -

I will be 37 in 4 months! I used to be very active, running half marathons a few times a year. However, with a job change and medication change came about 50lbs. I'm trying to get back into shape before my 37th birthday. I have two kids and want to be a good role model for them. feel free to add me!2

Hi everyone! I'm 42yrs young and looking for new friends on the same journey of health and fitness. Feel free to send me a friend request. I was on MFP a while ago and I came back. Just taking it one day at a time.. I started weight training and cardio again, just have to be more consistent.1
-
I WANT to lose POUNDS. So, for my cardio, I'm going to start running (ok... jog/walk combo for now). I am starting TODAY getting ready for the Holiday Streak. I did it in 2013, 2014 , 2015 and 6 days in 2016 before I had an injury. BUT on this Holiday Streak, I did lose weight, so therefore.... let the jogging begin. This morning I did 3.1 miles in 44 minutes.
Thought of the Day: The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful, is the man who will win - Roger Bannister, first man to run a sub 4 min mile
Congrats on deciding to run. My two cents: Don't underestimate the benefits of run/walk intervals. A number of people in my training group, including my coach, are using the run/walk approach to minimize our chances of overuse injury while simultaneously building bike and run volume for an August race. Most of us employ a 4 min run/1 min walk approach.

I second the walk/run intervals. I hate running and it makes it slightly less torturous haha.

I haven't checked in since this post. I had to get through fight week and then I have slacked a little this week, after the intensity of a fight camp and fight weekend. I won my MMA debut last weekend at age 43.
First round was down right ugly in the beginning. I got my mind right after some clinch work and hard knees to my opponent. I can out in the second round, took him down, and choked him and got the tap. My opponent hit like a truck and was significantly better striking. I was fortunate that my Jiu Jitsu and wrestling was superior to his. I learned a lot about myself during the entire process. After the birth of my children it was one of the pivotal experiences in my life. Not too long ago, I was almost 100lbs heavier, a two pack a day smoker. Now I hate all forms of tobacco, 100lbs lighter, in the best overall shape of my life and have an amateur win in one of the toughest and most grueling sports there is. What a change...

Wishing you loads of luck.
Thanks! As long as I don't embarrass my Coach or gym and avoid a trip to the hospital I will consider it a victory whether or not I win or lose.

Great job!! My two older boys are very active in martial arts. Just spent the weekend at a tournament with my oldest. He didn’t win his fight, but we celebrated not needing to call the paramedics to the ring anyway lol. I know how difficult and demanding the sport can be. You should be very proud!0 -
Hi! 43 year old mom of 3 boys just doing the best I can to maintain balance in life. Always like to make new friends. Feel free to add me.2

Good morning all!1

I’m 44 and from the Southeast US.
Since February, I’ve dropped 51 pounds using an intermittent fasting program and low glycemic foods. My goal is to eat one meal a day, but workout days often require two feedings in a short window of no more than 4 hours.
Feel free to add me.1 -
Hello, feel free to add me too 💜🤘2

Hi everyone. Somehow I ended up being 39 when I wasn't looking. First time in my life I've ever frequented a gym or excercised at all really. Busy trying to repair some of the damage I've done.
