Work In Progress - FitoverForty

[Nokie173]

calves are freaking big!!! But it’s lethal…. I can knock someone out with just one kick!

I would embrace them as mentioned. I used to hate them… I complain how big legs are but you know what?
At least I have legs to walk with so I’m glad I have them! Not perfect… but glad I have it!

Today is another day… a good day!

1x30sec. stability ball front plank

using the resistance tube doesn't hurt elbow injury - so that is a good thing.

Never heard of a resistance tube I'll have to check youtube out?!? I'm feeling sorry for myself - gym isn't available to me today/tomorrow. Floor being redone...I'm so glad you are on a positive upswing - Burn, baby burn!!!

Well, I think they may be called resistance bands too. click on the links I posted above to see the workouts. They really are good.

I'm not counting calories today....seeing how 48 yrs. ago today was a very important day..... sister took me out to lunch, I did good up until they asked if we wanted dessert....we looked at each other and at the same time said "Yes!" lol! we ordered a miniature chocolate bundt cake with hot chocolate sauce drizzled on top and split it... OMGosh!!!! It was so good. Hey, it's birthday - birthday calories don't count, right?!

I'll have to run a few extra miles this week!
Have a great day everyone, I know mine has been pretty great so far!

Thanks guys, you're the best! I don't feel 48 yrs. old, and I am truly blessed to be in good health and physically strong and fit. I have every intention of staying this way - in 70's, 80's 90's and who knows, maybe I'll make it to 100...still running races. I can see it now...I'll still be posting on Shapefit "Hey guys, I ran a 5K this week and won age division - 90 & above - blew those old geezers away!!" LOL!!

Happy Belated Birthday Lynne!! Sorry I missed it - you make all 48 years olds proud!

[Boss Man]

You deserved to have a great day. You are without doubt one the most human, wonderful and warm-hearted people there is.

You have continued to give some of your heart and beauty to so many people here and it's been an honour and a privilege to have had you around.

So here's wishing you the the best 12 months you can have. Here's to a lot of warmth, sunshine, smiles and rainbows in your life. You are one of THE BEST types of people this world should have more of.

Keep on keeping on, because you are a pretty good rolemode and a fine example to people abnout living, and sharing a little of yourself with others. We have a difficult world at the best of times. You are someone that helps to make things just that little bit better .
