Raining and warm (aka muggy chewing your air, kind of heat) here in Irving, TX

Thanks @mustb60!!! You are killing it with lifting! I need to get back to that too.

I had this happen with bunnies the other morning. They were darting all over the place and jumping across the path in front of me. I was scared that I was going to either kick or step on one or hurt myself. Hopefully the toad had a good full life :-)

@bride001 here is the link https://walk.aimatmelanoma.org/Hilo2017/mfpmonthlyrunningchallenge

So some how my lovely children turned my do not disturb on and silenced the alarm on my phone. So I didn't get my run in this morning. I went today at lunch and did run/jog/walk intervals. It is pretty warm (82) and REALLY humid (in between rain storms) but it felt GOOOD!!!! I love days when it feels good and you can keep…

@navygrrl OH NO!!!! Hope it heals quickly. @ddmom0811 Happy Birthday!!!! I ran on my birthday too. People thought I was crazy. Maybe I am. So I put out a very short race report on the Sept thread for the 5k on Saturday. Nothing major really. It was hot and being a noob, I am slow. But BEER. LOL. Cold, fresh awesome…

@hjeppley welcome

So I had my first 5k on Saturday. I'm typing about it here because, well it was in September. I am glad that it was a fun race with friends. I am SOOOOO slow. finished in 42 minutes because I had to walk a bit. It got hot really fast and was about 85 at 9 am. And I wore black. But it was a PR, since it was my first. I have…

That sounds like something that would happen to me. Dang, I would really want someone to just drag me over. Scraped knees and all. LOL

@fitoverfortymom wow, really? You would do that for me???? You're awesome!

CONGRATS!!!! love that you started with 1 step. That is all that it takes. I hope you see your goal soon.

@hanlonsk that is awesome!!! I love it. I had to actually get rid of a bunch of pants that don't fit! Like 18-20. I am in a 16 right now but could probably do a 14. I need to go shopping because I am running out of pants. Horrible problem to have, right?? Congrats!~!

@fitoverfortymom, so I found this spreadsheet that calculates your basic BMR and calorie needs and then you put your workouts in. It spreads the calories over the week. I put that into MFP and don't eat any of my exercise calories back in. If you want to take a look, let me know.

@Elise4270 I'll take it. I'll paypal you the shipping!

Geez, I wonder what it was say about me. "Get your butt in gear, Grandma!" LOL. I don't care. We are lapping people on the couch!

@cameronheel great job!! I am hoping to be the same in 6-7 months like you! I am down about 40 so far and would like another 50-55 off.

Great job!!! You are quite the inspiration!

Congrats!!! Consistency is key and you found the key! I hope you lose the last 12!!

@fitoverfortymom my husband has the Gear Fit 2. I considered it before I got this one. It just doesn't have the native running/hiking I wanted. So yes, it has hiking and with the altimeter.

@skippygirlsmom That was a great video to watch. I need a stick like that! I mean, not that I have ever come across this situation, but I have seen quite a few guys running out as early as I do. You never know.

@Orphia I didn't see this until now. Someone from the group posted about a sale for the Vivoactive HR being 100$ off. So I bought that. It has been really good, EXCEPT I am having an issue getting interval training on it. They say it is because it doesn't have enough juice. Bummed but oh well. I am getting around it for…

I have a watch, so that is good. I wish I had spent the extra and bought the forerunner I wanted. Guess I will try and make it a Christmas present. I am starting the bridge to 5k this week or Hal Higdon's novice 10k plan. It starts out a little slower than what I am doing now, but just adds more time. I'm excited to keep…

Just wanted to add that it is HOT! 5:30 am and it being almost 80 degrees is HOT! At least the sun wasn't beating down. Is it fall yet???

I FINISHED!!! I finished the couch to 5k program. I have started it a few times but never finished. Until now! SO excited that I can run for 30 minutes. I am going to go for a full 3.1 miles on Sunday just to test, but I think I have it now. Whoop. I owe part of it to you because this has been a great group of people with…

agreed! Egg nog is yucky.

I had to move my food around too. I usually eat nuts in the afternoon but moved it to this morning because I am starving today! And it is SOOOO hot outside. I think I will try that soup. I have one kid that will eat it. The other will want grilled cheese. The way @Elise4270 makes it! LOL. My husband is completely carb free…

@fitoverfortymom I am from CO!!! I miss it so much. You can fly down with my sister next weekend and come race with us on Saturday!

Those are amazing! I used to eat them all the time before I started calculating my food! YUM! I might have to have one when I reach my next goal!!!

Y'all are making my hungry for donuts! Especially that one from the state fair. I thought only Texan's ate ridiculous things at the state fair!
