40+ Club: Fall Fitness Fanatics

Hello everyone... Wanted to make sure I found the new thread before I left for Nevada

Swiss... How's your daughters finger? I pray it's an easy fix. I've seen where it didn't heal properly and they've had to re break it. Don't blame yourself. My son had two broken wrists and complained they nurture but kept right on hanging out with ins friends. It wasn't until his friends left that he finally told me how bad his wrists were.

Anyway, I didn't workout yesterday because it was my mothers birthday and today I did a lot of 9-11 special watching along with getting everything ready for working in Nevada. I just wanted you all to know. I'll be back Tuesday night so wed. I will let you know what exercise I was able to squeeze in.

Good Morning! Back from a lovely trip to Maine. We decided at the last minute to fly up there instead of drive and am I glad we did! I think we would have found ourselves caught in some bad weather/flooding trying to get around the northeast. Even here in DC we've had alot of flooding (in fact, the beltway was closed near our home on the night we landed, which was crazy bad). We avoided all of that and had a great time (despite a little rain on the last couple of days). Very nice to get away, that's for sure.

I finished my Insanity/Asylum rotation right before we left, but I decided to do another revised version of it this month. DH and I leave in three weeks for Florida to visit my in-laws, so I wanted a good rotation to fit into this timeframe....and I had great results with the Insanity/Asylum rotation. I will be adding more strength training this time, but that's more a preference than a need as I kept my muscle definition throughout the rotation AND my strength. But I just like strength training, so I want to do more.

I also weighed myself for the first time in about 13 months right before we left. And the great news is I weighed exactly what I did a year ago (110), which was also my goal weight from two years ago. So I guess maintenance is working well for me.

Happy to see so many people posting (on the last thread). Thanks, singfree, for opening the new thread! Hope you are all doing well.

Wow, I thought I would never find you. Stupid me, kept overlooking the thread. No time to really post so I am just leaving myself a bookmark.

Hi! Bookmarking the thread....will be back soon!

Hi all! Spent about 8 hours yesterday building a new raised bed for the iris we went overboard ordering back in the spring. Hauled 11 40lb bags of soil, 2 50lb bags of composted manure, 3 25lb bags of organic compost, 2 40lbs bags of drainage rocks plus spent about an hour breaking up very dry, hard clay soil. We also bought 50 daffodil bulbs to plant. We thought that was too much but now hubs is talking about getting 100 more!

Still need rain and it is supposed to be triple digits again this week. I can tell that the sunlight is looking more like fall though.

We even made it to the gym on Saturday before going to buy supplies for the new bed. We go to the trainer tonight.

Sing, thanks for the new thread. Take care all. TxMs

Good afternoon everyone! I'm trying to get back on track and need some group motivation! I'm setting halloween goal for weight loss. I have fallen off the wagon with diet and exercise but am still tracking. just tracking the junk that I'm eating! But now starting today........it's a brand new day and will stay on track!

Bump.

Chris - happy belated birthday, I turned 41 this year as well. I am also in much better shape than I was at 40 (when I turned 40, I had a 6-month-old baby)! Finally decided this year to lose the baby weight.

Hi everyone,
Busy at work. Will check in later.

Chris: Way too go with your workouts. I am trying to get motivated to start workouts again. I feel utterly dejected that I have to start right from the beginning again.
