Happy Friday.
I am down 5 pounds. I wasn't even trying. I'll take it.
Putting a lot of emphasis on legs 🦵and my back.
One of my 🐕's is slowing down and I know the inevitable is slowly upon me. Been to the vet a lot over the last 2 weeks with him. We are having all kinds of celebrations with him in the meantime.
Have a great weekend ahead.

I just stepped on the scale after "the move" this morning. I am down 16 lbs since Sept (down 15 lbs since I started using the WW app), so the trend is definitely going in the right direction! Hubby did NOT get the (basement) gym finished, so I will be doing a "season of cardio" for the foreseeable future.....which is fine. I choose not to complain - our new house is so lovely and I am so happy to have a home at all!!0

Oh good, I was hoping people in their 40s had a space here lol. I just turned 40 a couple weeks ago, and so much in my mindset has changed.. almost instantly. The first thing I noticed is how many people in their mid 20s to early 30s I follow on socials for fitness and health inspiration, and that it might be WHY I am having such a hard time relating to them.
Anyways, this is a new account, but I have used MFP off and on before. Hoping to find a healthy balance and figure out how to do this in a sustainable way.

Got room for more?
I'm a '74 baby. Crap.. Been here in the past but really focused now. It seemed like once I hit 42, I noticed lots of changes. More aches and pains in joints, eye sight (need reading glasses +1.25) and the dang grey hair. LOL! I guess it could be worse.
After a crappy 2020, I wanted to make significant changes in 2021 to focus on my health and lose weight. Healthy body, healthy mind as they say.
I'm down 17lbs since Jan 1 all using CICO and exercise 5x a week. Mostly Youtube videos - Caroline Girvan, Brian Syuki and FitnessBlender. Love strength, walking, step and kettlebell.
Making this my lifestyle.1 -
Chest, Shoulders and Triceps= DONE!0

Hey kids, hope all is well.
I put my baby boy down early this morning. It's been a trying few weeks. Hiking will not be the same without him.
A brisk walk is all I can handle today.
Have a great evening ahead.

Be strong, Kym. You've got a few tough days ahead.
I'll take you hiking with Daisy and myself (virtually) until you get a new companion.1 -

Steve,
It's was agonizing watching him decline. Not seeing him at the door when I got home is when the reality of it set in.
I'd be honored to virtually hike with both you and Daisy.
Thanks for your kindness.1 -
Hey kids,
Took a walk again today.
I know my baby boy does not want me to be sad, yet I am.
Have a great day ahead.1 -
Hey kids,

I hope you can get back to weightlifting soon.
I have not lifted weights in 3.5 weeks....the longest break in a decade!
The Home Gym is not built and all the basement boxes are in the way. I am walking outside when I can. I hope the Home Gym is done in the next 6- to 8- weeks. I expect I will have lost strength — I don’t want to stress about it. I have enough stress!0 -

Moderate (3x10) Chest & shoulder & tri's
Heavy (5x5) Back & bi's
What was UNscheduled was helping my son move out of his apartment and back into my basement, rushing to try to beat the blizzard.0 -

Did my second kettlebell marathon doing long cycle. Managed to do 35 minutes at 12kg and then dropped to 8kg for the rest when I felt my hands ripping.2
