Happy Friday Cool Kids! Great loss Jackie! Beautiful river pics Larro. Thanks KS, I look forward to your TGIF pics! I'm in a rush this morning, so my apologies for not being able to speak to each of you, but know that I think you all rock! Had a good peddle in. Good thing since I went crazy with tortillas last night. Way…

Howdy Cool Kids. So many of us are celebrating losses this week. Great job Natalie, Allenpriest, Jmgkamp, and Alisha! Beeps, life sounds good! Larro, I agree with Nick, you do look younger now! Have fun canoeing. KS, yikes! Glad you made it to the gas station. I hope you have some smooth sailing time ahead. Hello to…

Welcome to Tuesday Cool Kids! We had a great opening to rock fish season! Both B & I got our limit (5) plus I caught a ling cod (they've got fangs!!) There were lots of whales. We saw 9, mostly cow/calf pairs. One pair surfaced only about 15 ft from B's kayak. You should have seen the look on his face! Whales are kinda…

Hi Kids! I can't figure out how to trim my breaching whale video clip, so I'll just post the whole 1:22 minutes on DropBox -- sorry, too big to paste in the thread. Enjoy! It's a QuickTime Movie format. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9bchoz3uv1gzau8/Breaching%20Whale.MOV?dl=0

Good morning Cool Kids! Welcome back Stephannie! I can't wait to hear more vacation stories. Only 2 lbs? That's an accomplishment! Nick, I hear you about working on your "no". Just don't use it with your personal trainer Missy! GG, is the insanity over? Just dumb bells? KS, you are such a locomotive! Just keep chugging…

Hey everybody. I know this thread is old, but let's try to keep it going. Here's my baby. Nothing says bad-@$$ biker like a yellow bike named Buttercup with flower power. LOL We had a great ride through Redwood Nat'l Park this weekend, including several miles of gravel. Still getting my chops there. Does anyone have any…

Hey Cool Kids, and happy Tuesday! I finally had a little scale victory, so hurrah for that! I have a good routine going now, so this should continue! The paddle this weekend was amazing! I'll try to get the video I took from my phone edited to the awesomest part and post this week. We saw 12 gray whales, and one did 6 full…

Happy Friday Coolest Kids! I'm stoked to say I have made 4 days in a row under calorie goal! Woot Woot! I haven't been eating back my exercise calories, so it's been quite a deficit over the week. I may check what the scale says next week. Peddled in today again. Yesterday I rode in, but couldn't ride back due to extreme…

Larro, I have a great mental image of your mom in her lawn chair hoeing the garden! Beeps, please drink some German beer for me! I'll be beerless for another month or so until I get under my goal. Germany will be awesome! I agree about body-toning and strength training. I still need cardio for the calorie burn, but have to…

Happy Thursday Cool Kids, It's a beautiful morning here on the Redwood Coast, and it was a lovely peddle in to work. It is supposed to blowing a gale again this afternoon, thus is spring, so I'll be earning my meager dinner tonight! I was only 13 calories over goal yesterday, so I think I'll still call it a success! Three…

Happy Tuesday Cool Kids, Last night was the first in a long time that I came in under my calorie goal! :p . I made a point of making time for meal planning and prep on Sunday, and have sworn off all alcohol until I hit goal weight. That, alone, is quite a motivator to get there! lol. Unfortunately I slept poorly, and…

Just got an email from a paddling friend who got a shot just as I was catching a wave off of "Smack Wall". It's a spot on a headland that catches the deep water swell with a big "smack" and sends back a rebound wave that can be surfed if conditions are just right.

Happy Monday Cool Kids! Alf, I'm curious about your 5 day menu. Can you share? Funny story about the mamo. You must be so proud of yourself! Furballs, yes, your rest day sounds like mine! No "formal" exercise, but plenty of activity. Perfect! Beeps - your commitment is amazing. Are the headaches fading yet? GG - going…

Happy Friday Cool Kids! KS, I was right there with you this morning. When that 4:30 alarm went off I didn't hit snooze, I hit "off!" and went back to sleep. Guess I'll be making up for that tomorrow! Glad you made it to kickboxing! They don't offer that at my gym, but it sounds really fun. Caramel, just stay safe. What can…

Howdy Cool Kids. Hope everyone is having a great day -- even with the challenges we are facing. The bike ride home yesterday was grueling! I barely averaged 11 mph ... took 19 minutes longer than normal. Bummer is that I was ravenous when I got home, and still went over my calories :s Did't go the the gym this morning due…

Happy Hump Day Cool Kids. Stephanie, stood up at 5:15! Bah! Good for you for logging those miles anyway! Brrrr. Allenpriest, you're in an evil mood! Alf, sorry about another set back. You sure are getting your fair share of character-building opportunities! You must be quite a character by now ;) Larro, I was rather fond…

Darn! Sounds like a near perfect day. What do you grow in your butterfly garden? I've just purchased a farm share, so am converting some of my former row crop area into plantings for [desirable] wildlife support.

Exactly. I've never understood the riot / looting / community-destroying mentality. So frustrating and tragic ... and doesn't move the conversation forward. Stay safe Caramel! Extreme life will have to take priority. Larro, your blueberries look loaded! Mine are still in flower, but won't have that many berries. We have…

Hey Cool Kids! Back from a long weekend of kayaking. Totally fun, and I'm completely whipped! We only saw one whale, and that was from shore, but the baby harbor seals are so ridiculously cute, they make up for it! This pic isn't mine, but this is what we got to coochy coo over all weekend. I read every single one of the…

Happy Thursday Cool Kids. Apologies for my MIA-ness. So busy at work, and totally over the computer by the time I get home, so just haven't been posting. BUT I've been reading and see both joyous and sad news. KS, so so so happy for you and hubby. Can't wait for your Saturday. Enjoy kickboxing today! Furballs, sorry you…

Happy Friday Cool Kids! LOL!! That pic of HB, aka BW is hysterical! Thanks for sharing Larro. Bummer about your mom & cousin. Hopefully a room will open soon and everyone can have some peace. ... except the staff of the facility ;) Way to go Beeps! Beautiful azaleas Alisha! Furballs, I hope you and the kids had a great…

I hear you KS. Some days are sooo challenging. The kickboxing will be awesome! I made it to the 5 a.m. and noon gym sessions, so am doing okay for exercise today. Yesterday, since I missed the bicycling, I missed the 1K calorie burn that comes with it :s , so will really have to figure out where to either make that up, or…

okay ... now I'll fess up that I don't know who / what that song is ... which is maybe a good thing. Earworms drive me nuts!

Happy Hump Day Cool Kids, I haven't hopped on the scale in awhile ... but thought I saw some new definition in my abs this morning. I might brave a weigh in the morning. I was supposed to ride my bicycle to work today, but missed the alarm and woke up too late. So I rode the motorcycle to work ... twice ... forgot my…

That's hysterical!!! :p Seriously... super famous Blues dude. Biggest hit: When a man loves a woman.

Howdy Cool Kids, Thanks for the video Larro. I didn't know he and I had the same birthday! I'll add a candle for him this year. What a loss to us all. I got to the early a.m. gym workout, and was about to change for HardCORE, when I realized I forgot extra undies! :# . I thought about wearing my tights under the sweat…

Good Monday morning Cool Kids! Had a good active weekend. Picked Buttercup up Saturday morning. Unfortunately it was raining, so we didn't go on any adventures, just rode home. Next weekend for sure! Got a lot of weeding in when in cleared up in the afternoon. Sunday we had the perfect tidal and swell conditions to set up…

Happy Friday Cool Kids! I love Fridays! Like Alf, I have a man not so into beans, which means I rarely get to eat them, but this conversation has me pining for some! I think I'll crock pot some for next week's lunches. Gam, I'm morbidly curious to know what the Asylum will do to you. Is this a good thing ;) Alf, glad…

Happy Thursday Cool Kids! Got my but to the gym at 5 this morning, and so glad I did. HC again at lunch. I've finally re-adjusted to the time zone, so fell much more rested. Thank goodness, because being tired makes me think I'm hungry. Craving energy I guess. Nick, good perspective to keep an eye on the trends, and…

Right?!? Sodium is a monster! Store bought soups seem to be the worst. Even the good organic ones with pronounceable ingredients. I have to stick with home-prepared food to stay within calorie and sodium limits. As for the cost, it is hard to see the bigger monthly bill for quality food. It's kind of a leap of faith that…
