  • Afternoon Cool Kids :) helpers - looking forward to the weekend, weather is supposed to be nice so I'm thinking we'll hit the beach at some point.

  • Happy Friday Cool Kids! Date night at CrossFit was great! Hubby decided not to do any lifting, but hung in there and did the rest of the workout (scaled). He informed me he will not return to the gym - not his scene - but enjoyed going with me and watching me workout/lift which by the way found my 1 rep max on back squats…
  • Hi All, Hope all the moms a had nice mother's day weekend, I spent mine with my mother and my sister, did a little shopping, ate and ate...back to square one since yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed my parents visit but glad to be back to my normal routine. Made it to the gym last night and felt great! On other news, our…
  • I'm never one to get on here to give advice mainly because I don't feel I'm qualified. We are all here for different reasons but striving towards the same goals - weight loss and an overall healthier life style. That said, I think the first thing you need to do to get back on track is to realize you are here doing this for…
  • Morning Cool Kids! Been MIA for a few days, enjoying mom & dad's visit - who btw are thrilled with my weight loss :) Had a fantastic weight in today lost another 3lbs (yeah me), was starting to worry 'cause I upped my calories and nothing was happening was getting ready to go back to 1200, all is good though :) Hope y'all…
  • I've been gluten free since December of last year and I can tell you it becomes easier. I did it because I was bed ridden for over a month and in severe pain, doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me and someone at work suggested I try it to se if it made a difference and it has! I haven't had any bread (wheat/gluten)…
  • This I'm also new to CrossFit (3rd month in) and completely out of shape when I started at 210 lbs. One of the reasons why I keep going back 3 to 5x per week is that my gym is VERY supportive and encouraging. I have never felt left behind, they are always willing to scale the workouts for me if need be. My endurance has…
  • Dang Girl! (beeps) you just put 20 somethings to shame, you look awesome!!!! Something to aspire to :)
  • Good Afternoon Cool Kids, can't believe today is April 30th, where has the year gone? lcuconley and helpers1 - Yes I do CrossFit and absolutely LOVE IT!!! never in my wildest dreams thought I would be capable of doing the things I've been doing the past couple of months.

  • Monday Fun Day Cool Kids! Hope everyone had a great weekend, I had a busy one moving furniture and installing new window treatments - hard work!!! Looking forward to a great week, had lots to do my folks are coming into town on Saturday and I'm hoping to have my house in order, can someone relate to parents' visit anxiety?…
  • lcuconley - thanks for the stretching tips, you're not the first one to suggest I do more of that. Aleve has helped also :) beeps - I discovered last night my weight max for front squats is 125#, is that considered heavy lifting? I'm pretty stocked about it, did 3 reps without a problem, would have done more but my right…
  • Welcome to all new Cool Kids :) After my Monday morning meltdown, happy to report I'm back to normal, no longer mad at the scale. Worked out on Monday night, 100 wallball squats and 3 rounds of 15 power cleans #55, 10 bar to chest pull-ups (not quite there yet) and 150 jump rope. Took a break last night to move furniture -…
  • Morning Cool Kids, so after a wonderful weekend I have some venting to do... Ok so I get on the scale this morning and behold I gained 4 lbs during the weekend, 4 FREAKING LBS!!! What gives? I know I've heard it all before water weight, weight fluctuations are common, yada, yada, yada. Still, it's so irritating and…
  • Getting to the gym is a MUST, I agree with you beeps and lcuconley :) I ran 800 meters as a warm up yesterday and my knees are fried today, have to decide whether running is a good idea for me or maybe I should switch to rowing? Any thoughts/ suggestions? I've been to the gym 3 days in a row, working out some "family…
  • Hi Cool Kids, sorry been MIA for a few days...Had a wonderful weekend, started with a grueling work out Saturday morning, a nice 2 1/2 hr car ride, and an awesome afternoon with my sister. Ended the day with a visit to a close friend who I haven't seen since Thanksgiving (she lives 3 hrs away) and she had the best reaction…
  • on tap for me today?...rest, rest and more rest I'm exhausted! The workout was so intense last night that I was so wired I couldn't sleep, I probably got 4 hrs tops. It's raining today so I can't even walk my exhaustion off during lunch. Hope everyone has a good weekend, I intend to work out early tomorrow morning and then…
  • Huge thanks to kmcosgrove115 for explaining this so well so that is easy to understand. I've already seen results, 1 week after adjusting my caloric intake I've lost 3 lbs (went up 2 the first few days, went down 3 as of today) YIPEEE!!!
  • this :smile: Happy Wednesday Cool Kids, what's on your workout menu today? I'm going for a walk/run during my lunch break and to the gym tonight for "tire dragging" how cool is that? Have a good day, enjoy the weather (if you're on the east coast) it's BEAUTIFUL today!

Way to go!!! hikethatmountain - thanks for the encouragement. My Monday got exponentially better last night when I was measured at…

  • Happy Monday Cool Kids, Hope y'all had a great weekend, I know I did (sorta). Did CrossFit on Friday, 20 sec handstands as warm up anyone? NEVER thought I would be capable so that made me feel so great I met my husband and daughter for dinner and totally over did it! Mind you it was sushi but still felt gross after and…
