    It's a chilly day todya and my very giggly boy is off school for today so we're headed to Grammy's to bake cookies and then to an outdoor rink for a skate. I've decided to skate at as many outdoor rinks as I can find this year. Anyone wanna join my rink fest

    Good morning. We made it to Friday! Sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my annual physical. *turns head and coughs*

    Turns out they haven’t found a cure for age yet.

    Work after and then my daughter’s Christmas concert tonight. Always a great time and I look forward to seeing all the school kids perform.

    I’d do it but that commute would kill me. Watch out for the wolf while you’re going through the woods to grandma’s house 😁

    I fall in this age group. Happy Friday everybody. I have a short day at work today and plan on having a day of leisure and fun for the rest of my day. Might go to the gym and unwind there for a while.

    I love coffee any way I can get it! I usually only drink 1 cup sometimes two a day. Great way to start the day. I try to drink water for the rest of the day.

    Happy Friday folks.
    Got a great workout in yesterday - cardio & weights (total body blast) followed by an hour of glorious pilates, followed by my 30 burpees with 10lb weights for the burpee challenge I am in. I AM SORE TODAY!

    Cheers to the DOMS...with my coffee cup. :)

    Nothing. And I mean nothing motivates me more and telling me I can’t do something. My doctor and I just discussed my weight loss goals of me getting down to 195 pounds. He said that’s unrealistic don’t be foolish and even if I could it’s not sustainable. “Hey Doc you just lost a bet. See you in a year.”

    Love it! You go, Steve!

    So I'm a nerd and I curl and love it. Like the sport curling. The one where after games you are expected to sit at a table with your opponents and have drinks and chat.

    We won out game today 12-2. While I missed a couple of shorts miserably i had some amazing ones too and many stuck around and were what scored us points. It's a really fun game. I'm glad I was forced to take it up 4 years ago

    Hi everyone. I’m 48. I had a heart attack last year and got stents put in. (I was the youngest person in my cardio rehab classes last year.) I’m in the low 170s at 5’8”.

    I want to get down to 160, so have started using this app. This seems like a good community, and I appreciate how supportive you all are of each other. Good luck to all on your fitness journey.

    All this talk of coffee has given me an idea… off to make coffee!

    Then I REALLY will start cleaning the house up, honestly, really. Maybe. I will…

    If I were younger, I’d play cricket. Not too many sports where you get lunch and tea. 😁 and beer after.

    Congrats on the win.

    Welcome. Glad you made it. Other than me, this is a great group of supportive people. Just stay away from the selfie threads. They are quite cliquey.

    My club has a cricket pitch. You don't have to be young to play. It's funny though there will be a match on and we'll sit on tha patio having lunch and pretending we know what's going on and the team not at bat will start filing in and returning to their clubhouse with lunch. It's so civilized

    You should if you have a place nearby. It's fun and super social. Curlers are very welcoming to anyone new wanting to try

    Starting out - new today to the app. I'm 57 now and have always been energetic but I'm getting really fat so that has to stop. I'm 5'3" and 220 now. Wish me well on this journey back to health. Next year I'll be able to do a lot more with a sleeker body. I don't want to be that fat grandma. I want to be like the slim older ladies I see who are active and strong.

    Good morning all. I lifted with my youngest son this morning and our bench press was heavier than its ever been. I’m now 10 pounds away from my end of the year goal. Have a good Saturday all.

    There is a club in my state. A coworkers husband used to play for them. She said they’d take anyone but at 48 weighing 255 and asthma, I’m not so sure. Plus I’ve never batted and I wonder if they’d be willing to teach. It’s tough being a cricket fan in the States. I didn’t have the chance to grow up with it.

    To be honest, I’d love to just play at a fun level. Like a pick up league or club vs club. A fat middle aged office workers league would be perfect 😆. I’m just in love with the sport and would love to do more than be a spectator.
