Thread: 300+ and Getting Fit after 40 #235

Oh Barb !!! You rock!!! I aspire to your awesomeness! I spent the weekend cleaning and hanging out with my boys. My older son had SAT subject testing, and then I took him out to lunch so we could have some quality "grown up" time together. We sat at the bar of a local brew pub and ate our meal and we talked bartending (as if I'm an expert...maybe on the receiving end, a little). It was nice. We came home and I started...

Hello!?!?! Anyone out there? I hope you are all having a super fantastic healthy Sunday!!! This morning I went for a bike ride with my new riding partner (my trainer's wife). I'm thrilled to report my longest ride yet...just about 21 miles!!! I was pumped! After that we took the boys to the zoo for nearly 4 hours. It was certainly an active day! I'm going to get myself ready for tomorrow and go relax. Later Gals!

Good Morning, Sounds like many of us are doing good.That is nice to see! Hang in there for anyone struggling. Carol- I will have a bowl of soup for lunch today. The rest has been frozen and will be pulled out on days when i dont have time to prepare lunch. My glucose was 114 today but that is still higher than Im use to seeing. Post meal last night was 136. The men are finishing up my house this week.They started working on it back in MAY. I...

Judy - nicely done! Your description was such a reminder to me also. How many times I've done the exact same thing - just not stopped at the closest trash can. Georgia - what fun - letting them enjoy some rock n roll. We've got a coupla weeks left in the 60 day challenge - get that soy out of there. Food, exercise and more importantly life is good for me. I'm trying to put three looming scale events to the back of my mind -...

Just got back from a quick trip to the market. I was out of almost everything. My knees were killing me so I just got the essentials and will do another trip tomorrow for the rest. So Carol ....How are you approaching swimmimg differently? I'll probably get back to the pool when I break 300 and can get back into my suit. I used to aqua jog and swim at the Y. Hopefully that will be around the New Year.

This year I have to change things around due to my new and permanent eating lifestyle. This was always what I...

Walked into the office yesterday and saw it... the leftover candy on the secretary's desk!! Immediately in my head I said "NOT FOR ME" and successfully avoided it. But I think it will be there for days. I really don't want it and hope I can stay strong. I did get a little snacky before dinner and ate a little more than I wanted, but reined it in for the evening... Today's food is planned and I need to figure...

Stop! Do not post here! Join us on the next volume thread!

Good Morning! Sorry I didn't check in last week. It was busy with making halloween costumes. PMSing too. The kids went to a church party so the amount of candy that was brought home was not to bad. About 1/2 grocery bag per kid. By the time they took out the things they didn't like and put them straight into the food bank donation box...result a very managable amount will last them about 2 weeks and I have no desire to sneak any. It...
