Hi. I think I need a little support. I have been lurking here for about two weeks reading all your posts and this seems to be a very *up* and supportive group. I am not 40 yet, but getting close....so I checked out the 30's board and this one, but like yours better. I am not new to the village. I was a CL on one of the relationships boards here for a long time and have been a regular on that board for about 5 years. I have been working out for a very long time, but went thru a really tough divorce two years ago and sort of went into a funk workout-wise up until recently. I'm not happy about that! I lost a lot of my definition and gained about 12 pounds. But I am now happy in my own life and as a bonus, I am now in a very gentle, wonderful relationship with an awesome and stable man. I have started working out like I used to, and am feeling fantastic, but I could use the support and motivation and comraderie of others who are trying to get and stay fit, too.

Right now I alternate doing Pilates, Yoga, and an an upper body free weight workout 5 days per week, and I run/walk on the treadmill each morning for 40 minutes.......working my way up to an hour soon, I hope. I am also hoping to take up Salsa lessons in a month or two. I love to dance and used to do so all the time, so I am looking forward to that very much! I try to keep a clean diet at least 6 days per week with mostly protein, veggies, and a few grains, then allow myself a cheat day once per week. I find by doing this my weight stablizies very well.

Anyway, that is a little bit about me and I am looking forward to knowing more about each of you, and to offering my support here as another member who is trying to live a healthy life (and look good while doing it. LOL)!!

HUGS!!

Thank You Nancy, I laughed when I saw the word interesting used to describe my life. I like that, and I am going to think of it that way from now on...that is much better than the words I have used to describe it in the past! LOL!

Thank you so much for your warm welcome, it sounds like you have a wonderful family and I you have some great workouts. I love riding bikes too, but haven't done that in awhile. I look forward to posting here and getting to know you guys better, too!

Hello, and Welcome Jeepster! Nice to have you here and that you decided to "unlurk". Looks like you have a nice rounded workout schedule.


Glad you found a nice man, too. They are sure hard to find.
