Hi all -
Well I finally got off my TOM arse and did C&W
So happy I did as I feel so much better now.
I got my HR up, burned some calories and woke the muscles up a bit.
It was a nice, lite & easy WO to do for a day like today for me.
Social groups eh? Okay I was just in the other group I post in and that too was mentioned.
Sure I'm in what do social groups do exactly?

Made it!
Afternoon Ladies!
After trying repeatedly to request a new password for my old account, I broke down and re-registered with a new ID. Hope you all are doing well on this very hot day - at least in Indianapolis!
We've had lots of wonderful fresh fruit in the last several days so I've been adding that to my yogurt and protein drinks - super yummy
I'm trying to figure out how to use all the features on here - looks like lots of fun! Has anyone been able to use the calendar to schedule workouts, etc.?

May I join you all?
Hi Ladies,
I am hoping it would be ok for me to join you all in your 40 and over group? I have been a member for a long time and seem to come and go from the forums in between having children and various injuries. I keep restarting my workouts over and over and that is where I am now...restarting yet again. The one thing I have never done is joined a checkin or formed friendships here that will help to encourage me when the going gets tough. So I am hoping I can be an encouragement to you all and in the process be inspired to regain the level of fitness I once had. I have been walking with a friend but need to start using my Cathe workouts on a regular basis. I have tons of them and even preordered the STS for some crazy reason. Who knows maybe I can even get a friend for my empty friends list

Hi everybody! I "think" - that a Social Group is a quick link to the group you want to join but don't know what it is about. Then, kind of like a club you join.....I'm just making this up as I go along...... If you go in the quick links section you can see of course they list them and underneath they tell exactly what that forum is about. I don't know ladies, I sometimes can rationalize in my head but not in print!
I'd love to post an avatar....tried last night but it kept telling me my download failed...bummer!!!! Welcome aboard Allison!

Thank you all for the warm welcome and for adding me to your friends lists. It's funny in a way that it matters but it does feel nice to have a group to belong to. I know I am starting back with beginner stuff so I thought I would do High Step Circut today. I just need to get my 2 year old down for a nap and I will be ready to go.
I am still spending way to much time on this site but there is so much to figure out and it's really so fun!
Janiejoey I am sorry you lost your group but it's nice to meet you here! I hope you will stay around even when you find them.
Welcome Ronne, I am as new as you to this group but very glad you joined also!
By the way, my computer skills need updating. How do you include smiles in the message and not just in the title?
Have a nice day ladies!

I want to also thank you for the warm welcome.
Allison, I'll be around no matter what. Even if I do find my group, no reason why I can't have two groups. Right? This is going to be fun.
Today I need to get things in order so I won't have to do it when I get back home from surgery. I'll water plants, clean, garden, all that kind of stuff.
Hi Ronne, welcome.
Take care everyone, and thanks for welcoming me on board.

Hello Lovelies!
How's it going today?
Big Hellos & Welcomes to Alison, Ronne, JanieJoey glad to have you join us!
Welcome Back Lucy!
Seems plenty of Catheites were having issues and I'm just soo confuzzled trying to figure out who is who with all the new user names I've been seeing lately - lol
Now Pugw - I'm glad to see you join us today. I absolutely love that smilie - so I had to grab at it. -insert giggling here-
So the social groups still confuse me as I am still not sure what they are meant for other than saying we belong to this group?
I'm just glad to see so many familiar 'faces' once again.
So as for me I'm kicking A.F. out the door, she has one foot over that threshold but is being stubborn about grabbing her bags and leaving outta here for good this month. Goodness gracious what a horrible visit she has been.
Today I'm about as close to 100% as I can be ok ok lets say 95%
I did jump on my TM and kept my appointment with Coach Sean this mornin' w/ V7.
I feel sooooo fantastically good now. Its a great way to start out my day I tell ya that much.
I feel chipper and so good that my body was able to get a good sweaty run
Off I go to poke around the site.
See you all around

Wow so many new members, it's wonderful. I'm trying to friend everyone who has joined either the checkin or the social group. I'm sorry if I missed anyone, and if I did please just friend me.
As far as the social groups, this is how I've resolved it in my head. That is like the registration for the 40+ checkin group. Does that make sense?
Now for some personals.
Pugw,
Very cute smiley
Janie,
Glad to see you here, maybe you can be the Mom of our group.
Ronne,
Welcome, the more the merrier.
Alison,
The smileys to the right or up above where you type put them in the text. The smileys below put them in the title. Er, so, that's what I think. Try it and see if it helps you out.
Now to my checkin. I did Hardcore Extreme Hi/Lo. The rotation Tina and I were doing called for IMAX1, but I'm not a fan of that one so I subbed. Well, let me tell you I was questioning why I did that....I think I made my life harder! But I got thru it even though I was sweating more than I ever have (gosh it's been hot here).
The site is way cool and I told myself I wouldn't do the nutrition planner but I'm feeling pulled to it. The demo is so neat. But with all the probs on the site I'm trying to hold out until it calms down. My workouts that I put in the WM for the week are gone and I have someone elses! I hope mine appear again magically.
I'll sign off for now. Later cougars.

Hi all,
I think I'm going to try to join you. I usually hang out over at the Ya Yas but have lurked here (Cathe's site not your checkin ) for years. I'm hesitant to join another checkin because I don't like being tied up on too many sites. I already spend way too much time online. Okay, so where's the laughing smilie around here.
I laugh a lot.
Anyway, I'd also like to "feel" like I belong over here. And I think a checkin is a good place to start.
A little about myself..... I'm 49. The age thing on here says I'm 50 but I still have a couple of months before I hit that. I'm a RN but I'm not working now. I keep my license active in case I might need to go back though. I'm married with 3 children (26/m married, 23/m and 21/f) I do a variety of w/os and enjoy the variety. I rarely complete an entire rotation but I am a P90X grad. It just about killed me but I made it. It is my desire to complete STS though so it will be nice to be with you guys during that. Are any of you planning on doing this also? Okay, so I'll stop there. Sometimes I get a little carried away.
My w/o today was 4DS, Kickboxing/ Leg w/o.
I look forward to getting to know everyone. Be patient with me.
ShyWolf, I'm a smilie person. Grab away. That's how I get all mine.

Hi everybody! I'm too a tiny overwhelmed...bouncing back from place to place with the excitement of it all!!!
Ronne - not sure if your question was answered but this forum is for all of us 40 & Over's that are battling the same issues. One being the fact that weight/inches are harder to get off and for us to give our ideas/opinions as to what worked for us in hope that it will help others. Welcome aboard!!!
Rhondalyn - 49? 50? Who's counting? You look awesome!! I'm a P90X grad too - I really grew to love those workouts. Welcome aboard to you too!
Vilma - Your posts just do not look the same without that purple girl figure - I related that so much with you and who you are, I loved it!!!
Janie - We will just call you our Over 40 mom figure! Glad you joined us!
If anybody would like to give me a kick in the butt, a boost, some energy and encouragement....I'll sure take it! I've had a headache for 2 days (done MM yesterday anyway), didn't workout today, eating is horrible.....and all I wanna do is lose a little bit of weight...is that too much to ask for?

Tina I know!
I wish we can at least add an image to our signatures
I have had her as my siggie since I signed up and I made it just for the forum too -sighs wistfully-.
I put her in my album page on my profile page but here she is again
you know after seeing her back on my post I may just have to add her at the end of my posts.
