I hear you, but my metabolism didn't go down due to age. Its more my lowered activity level and muscle mass associated with the lifestyle I've settled into. When I get those back on track, I tend to do just fine even though I'm older now.

Excellent discovery! Congratulations on all you've achieved.

If you can get a standing desk, that is better than sitting, but still not ideal to stay in one place. I understand it isn't always possible to go for a 5 minute walk every hour at all jobs, but it would be great if you can. There are also squats and calf raises you can do at your desk as well as desk push ups. You might…

The weekend away was good. Got to see old friends and see a couple of really great basketball games. Sunday was a bit of a bust. I've been struggling with exhaustion quite a bit lately, and after 2 busy days, I just couldn't hang on Sunday. We did stay out late Friday and Saturday, but we also slept in. Sunday we took a…

Other than being pissed that his relatively new car (15 month) that he loved was smashed he's doing really well. Thank you!

5# Challenge SW: 189.0 3/20: 187.0 3/21: 185.6 Yesterday was an okay day, not much of an appetite, but I'm not complaining. Weight is dropping due to stress, but that rarely holds for long. My appetite will return then I'll likely gain it back. Or maybe I can use it as a springboard to more loss. Yeah, that's a better…

@Snowflake1968 I'm sure today will be better! Take care.

Excellent job on the exercise. If you want to do a hard cardio session do it before you lift. If you want to focus on lifting, do a 5-10 minute cardio warm up - lift - 10 minute cooldown. Basically what ever your focus do it first (after warming up).

Kids are funny, and brutally honest with their questions and comments. Like you said they aren't trying to be mean, but they can see you look different than others. The best advice I have for you is to be honest. Tell them that you are a little bigger than you'd like and that the whole family is going to be starting a new…

That is terrifying! I'm glad they looked at your right eye even though you were there for the left.

5# Challenge SW: 189.0 3/20: 187.0 Well yesterday didn't go as expected. Tim and I both planned to leave work around 3:30, pick up Gia from doggy daycare, then head to meet Sierra. I made it home and about 3 minutes after I got there I received a text that "911 was called from xxx-xxx-5621" That is Tim's number. I tried to…

I'm in for the 5# challenge as well, but I didn't remember to weigh in this morning. I did log food today for the first time in a while. Been a good day so far. Still more tired than I should be. They keep upping my thyroid meds, but can't seem to get it under control. I'm best around 1-2, and I'm currently at 9, but they…

One option is a fitness tracker, I use a Garmin, then I use my average burn over 2-3 classes to create an exercise in MFP. Example: "Gym Day" for me is 10 minutes intense cardio & 40 minutes lifting and 10 minute cardio cooldown, I burn ~ 390 calories in that hour according to my Garmin (I am short and currently heavy so…

40-42 were my fittest years ever. I started MFP at 38, my name was actually Not40yet, lol. It took time and dedication to logging and to my workouts. I had some health issues that threw me for a loop and I'm back now at 50, and certain I can get back in shape if I just relearn some old habits. Easier said than done, but…

@PackerFanInGB I am soooo happy for you. That is truly miraculous news. Let the rebuilding begin!

Yesterday was good, busy and boring, but good. Gia had fun at Doggy Daycare and was worn out by the time she got home. We (Gia, Elliott & I) all took a nap yesterday. It was delightful. Then I got up and went to trivia. It was fun, but we lost badly. Today is pie day, so I brought pie to work. I will have a slice of apple,…

Been super busy yesterday and today, but did check in last night so I'm caught up on everyone's progress, but I didn't have the energy to write down goals last night. I've eaten home cooked meals 3 days in a row! I left overs I could have tonight, but I think I'll save them for tomorrow and eat at the pub where we play…

Monday is definitely a "Monday". Totally struggled to get up today even though I went to bed early and napped yesterday. This cold is holding on, but no fever or headache so that is a plus! Did a trade show Saturday at the state capital. Met a lot of senators and representatives. Sunday we took the pup shopping in town to…

I love all of the quilts but that first one is amazing!

Made it half a day at work yesterday, then went home to rest. Got up and went with hubby to pick up Gia and briefly visited with Sierra. Pretty much went to sleep as soon as we got home. Tim went out to pick up dinner, but by the time he got back I wasn't interested. Had a few chips on the way to get Gia, and a KitKat for…

Good friends are hard to come by. Catching up is important.
