40+ Club : Where the Cool Kids Are

A cruise?? Nice, alf!! Re-charge is DEFINITELY very important!

LPC - I'm all about giving teenagers the room they need to stretch their wings and perform all these domestic chores. ALL. FOR. IT.


Lots of people into zumba around here...tell me, what did you do before the "zumba" craze swept over the country(ies)?? I'm not a big fan of it, myself....I'm WAY too much of a perfectionist and if I can't get the move down "immediately", I get mad at myself. That's why I stick to step-aerobics where someone is keying the next move and my body can then just follow. However, zumba music ROCKS!

Have a great Monday, all!!

I think it is *key* to do the "change-up", swissmiss....I'm totally with you there! I am not "spinning", but I am doing HIIT on the bike (and I haven't done biking for several YEARS!)

lol....is there a 'connection', swissmiss, between the "new" instructor and the necessity for sports bra shopping??

I am going to come here, everyday, to keep myself accountable on the "nutrition" side. I simply HAVE to keep a small deficit (200 - 250 calories). Which means I still get 1,800 wonderful calories of healthy foods!! I want this WHOLE month to be ON-TRACK!

My daughter called... She started bleeding, went to the ER and that dr told her she was never pregnant. Kinda funny considering she's already been to a dr and she was. Either way, she's not pregnant anymore. Very sad.

I'm not feeling very well today. Not a good thing considering I have split days off. Today and Sun. Hopefully it will blow over and I'll feel better later on today.

Watched my brothers puppies while they went to San Diego to collect more of their belongings. Wow! I don't miss puppies especially when their not potty trained! My two dogs are just fine, won't be getting tempted by a new one for a while! LOL

I downloaded some apps onto my iPad. One for yoga, one for abs, and one I haven't checked out too much yet but I think it has a lot of different exercises. They have videos to help you get the right poses and a couple of workout programs to follow.

Hi all,

Tron, so sorry to hear about your daughter. taht is sad.
Speaking of puppies, a couple of abandoned puppies were found on a dirt road around here. It looks like someone tried to kill them but were unsuccessful, as they were injured but alive. Some local folks have taken them in and are nursing them back to health. So sad. I don't understand that - if you don't want the puppies, have your dog fixed, or if it should happen, give them away or bring them to a local shelter. Anyway, good news is, they are surviving, and I think they caught the culprit that did this.

I was in a curling bonspiel all weekend, so was not on much. Had a great time - we dressed as Marilyn in "Diamond are a Girls best friend". Theme was Anything goes with Diamonds. We won for best original costume. :laugh: I don't think I suit blonde though. As well as winning for costume, we came first in the C event. So for a $50 entry fee, I walked away with some pretty sweet prizes.

Because I was curling, I was not able to get my weekend long run in, so I did it yesterday. Today my body needs a good stretch. I have a mani / pedi appt after work and then I am going to dinner. After that, I am going to do X-stretch. I know my body will thank me for it.

Some good news - my husband is training for a ultra with me. He is starting to sound like a runner. Didn't feel like going for his run today, but knew he had to then was happy he did. Says " I know I would not have gone if I didn't have anything to work toward, so I think that after this, if I do okay, I'll plan to run a marathon in September." :drinker: Well, fall off my chair shocked! He is always complaining that I run too much....now he understands. :happy: :happy: If I do not have anything to work toward, I don't do it.

Hope you are all have a good week.:flowerforyou:

Just a quick check in. No time to post. Have to return a call to my daughter. If you don't hear from me....have a wonderful Easter.

Alf - ther eis a picture of me on my profile page -take a look. there is one of the "team" and then one of just me. Yes, it was too funny!!
I think most people were surprised I would walk out in a skin tight hot pink dress more so than a blonde curly wig. :laugh:

What's a PAP video, Umpire??

I did about 90 minutes at the gym today and I'm exhausted. Overly exhausted. I've had about 14 hours of sleep over the last 3 nights and I'm starting to wear out, completely.

I have to cook a friggin turkey today, because it's the only day my whole family can get together....normally I have the event catered, but, to make a long story VERY short, I'm cooking the turkey my oldest son got as his Xmas bonus (he works at Costco). Ugh. Color me TIRED and the day isn't even half over.

This vent is too long....

Hey everyone, I'm new to MFP (2 weeks old on Mon) and checking around for encouragement, camaraderie, and peeps who understand the metabolism of a 40 year old :laugh:

All the amazing success stories you have here in your group - congrats!:drinker:

Lots of runners here. I'm not sure about the running thing...I have the mind set to only do that if I'm being chased....and not even terribly fast if he's cute. :bigsmile:

Hope you don't mind, I've been a topic stalker for a bit, and finally decided to show up.
