I have wondered the same thing. . .

For myself:
Diet wise- I haven't been watching my calories like I could. I just didn't want to. But, somehow my butt made note of it and retained too much. My doctors want me to lose weight. I mean really? Who would actually want to do that.
Phooey. Yeah, I know how, I just don't like it. Workouts are easy, watching what I eat is no fun. And, I hate the feeling of weight loss-sluggish and slightly nauseous. Yuck.
Cardio- I'm back with basic step coming off of an injury and lots of visits to the chiropractor's office.
Strength training- I'm only allowed to do foam rolling right now.
Yoga- I can do stretch max. I am also doing Rodney Yee's Daily Yoga (but not everyday.)
As for my DVD collection, I have slowed down on buying because I haven't anymore room.
I have been de-cluttering a lot. I did a massive closet clear out. And, now I'm slowly donating the items I don't want anymore. I live remotely, so it's about a 40 minute drive in each direction, and the Honda Fit can only hold so much. I'm pleased with the progress I have made. And, somehow I still feel like I could get rid of even more to be comfortable in my space. I'm just at a loss for what that would be.
Hobbies: Reading: I do have some books that as I read them, I will be able to donate those to the local library. Tom Clancy hand me downs mostly. I enjoy movies with my Mom a lot. We are big fans of sci-fi, action, and comic book movies. We did enjoy X-Men Apocalypse. It was a good time, fun, and delivered on what it's supposed to be: entertainment. I don't care that it's ridiculous and improbable- that's the point. I also have a really nice digital camera and an iMac to use, but I've been so busy otherwise that I have barely touched them.
I'm still a single gal. No news on that front.
Anyone else want to add anything at all? I'm not trying to high jack the thread.

LOL, RapidBreath that made me laugh.
I have been researching saunas a lot lately and am going to order one this week - which is exciting for me! I have always loved saunas and hot tubs for relaxation but then over the past few years read how saunas are also great for detoxing. Therefore, if it is for medical purposes, I *have* to get one because it is now justifiable
Friends/Family are making fun of me because I live in an area that is currently about 120F and they just tell me to go outside. But I have a feeling they will be over borrowing the sauna.
My turn? Ok here goes my boring life.......I got new rubber mats for my workout room. They're the puzzle kind. So far so good! Feels better on my joints for sure. No new DVD's lately but Mary at Total Fitness will be having a sale at the end of the month or beginning of July. My hubby is in the process of opening our pool. YEAH! My daughter is dating a really nice guy, we like him. I wonder if he's "the one"? She's 28. No one really likes my sisters hubby....nothing new there. Makes family gatherings a bit awkward. I've been adding a lot of books to my list at the library due to the thread "Books, books books" I listen to them on CD as well. I haven't read anything too exciting to post about yet but some good ones are coming soon. All my shorts are tight on my thighs and that just really pisses me off!!! Had to go get new ones...that was fun. So basically its status quo, nothing too extreme and I guess that's a good thing. NEXT......

LOL you guys are hilarious! So i dumped my boyfriend because he was too needy and a real momma's boy - yes his mother would e-mail when we were having relationship issues - and he's 45 for god's sake! But i'm a very descriptive writer so my friends convinced me to go to this on-line dating site and my profile and pics were apparently so fabulous i snagged myself the VP of finance for one of our healthcare centers and I'm totally smitten with him! True story..To keep myself busy when he's with his kids i have to stain my deck but i think i'll have to hire someone...Then my son got his driver's license and seems to think he owns my car, when i gave him $40 to put gas in he spent $20 on gas and the remaining $20 on his girlfriend - WTH??!! I like his generosity but come on lol! On the workout front I'm loving the three ICE dvd's i have and will continue to follow the rotation with RWH and a bit of the booty extreme 2 dvd's - great combination. Diet wise I'm finding that the toning results from the workouts are enough to keep my hands out of the cookie jar because the new boyfriend likes the bikini pics. If i think of anything else that may be of value to the conversation i'll come back!

Love this thread! And the fun posts from people on the "what's new?" front.
So, I started a new job: Supervisor of the tasting room, and let's face it, the whole damn winery, at weekends, and tasting room main person other days of the week, of a winery in MI. It is a physically demanding job, I am on my feet the entire 9 hour shift, and I reckon I walk about 5 miles per shift, especially on busy weekends when we host weddings and the unruly, drunk wedding guests think they get to own the place just because they booked the back room. Working in education has imbued me with a sense of authority so I am looked to to get in there and sort things out!
So far, I have scaled the steep learning curve on procedures, and now I am learning to handle all the different personality types who work at the winery. Some strange people, some unhappy people, some very laid back, cool people: a real mix. Having people stop by for tasting sessions and hang out at the bar with me, as server, I kinda like. I get to talk to people from all walks of life and I answer, every day, about 20 times the following questions: "you're not a MI native are you? Where are you from? How long have you been here? What brought you here?" etc, etc. I'm OK with it: making conversation helps wine sales! I'm just the novelty of the month with my London accent.
The most difficult thing about the job, for me, is I am naturally a night time person and I am having to become a morning person. This is not easy! I was finding myself exhausted after long shifts, always on my feet and couldn't summon up energy to get my workouts in after work, so I have to get up at 5-6 am to try and get some exercise in and so far, I am sort of managing it. I am in 'transition', shall we say? Weight training is easier to accomplish at that time than cardio: and also, power walking outside. I'll have to leave HiiT and plyo for days off. Due to the new job, I have unintentionally dropped weight and sadly, it has all come off my already thinner upper body. So, I need to focus on lifting: shoulders, back, etc. Why couldn't it have come off the hips? Damn ...
My eldest daughter just told me she secretly got engaged to her girlfriend, only I am not allowed to tell anyone I know, especially in my family, including my husband and other daughter. I do not understand why. Problem for me was: I had to fake my joy at this announcement. My now engaged daughter has had psychiatric issues over the past year, is in a precarious situation and this kind of decision, right now, is not good. I also do not particularly like her girlfriend who lacks conversation and social graces and has her own psychiatric issues. Oh boy. I was saddened that what should have been happy news required a faked response from me. I feel very bad about this. Guilty.
Other than that? I now have: less time to read and garden, but more money. This is always the way. The equation is always time vs. money: which do you have more of, which do you need? With 2 daughters in college, we needed $. Anyway, working is good for me. Talking to others, having structure in my day, some financial independence and purchasing power.
So, who is up next?!!? Spill the beans ladies ....

I'm in Minnesota and you will find me in my Infrared sauna several times a week in the winter (and summer). There is nothing finer then settling down butt naked under therapy lights with the temps at 155. Saunas are in my heritage and I would never be without one, you will love it!

What I'm doing right now is training for two mountainbike races, but my goal is to finish, and not set myself up for elbows out competing, so I'm going to start purposely at the back of the pack with music in one ear. I feel extremely fortunate to be riding in the first place, and truth be known this past 8 months have taught me a great deal about patience and life itself. I've found that living by myself is fantastic after 30 years of arguments and constant tension. My Pilates reformer/tower deserves my ultimate respect in re-balancing my broken body and will forever be beloved because I'm back lifting heavy with STS. Seriously though, I have really fallen in love with the Ice Series, especially the Muscle Meltdowns mixed with the blast for a quick workout. What a great set this has turned out to be.
Lastly, I have resurrected my studio to begin contemplating my first painting in several years. Fixed the winch on my easel and took stock of my brushes, oils and canvas. Now I find it extremely difficult to start again, afraid I won't be able to make the oils work their magic for me. Shame of it all is I pass my studio daily, look at my 10 foot easel without a life, stare at it, grumble...then go downstairs. Then when I'm out riding and a pass the lakes, I'm feeling that urge to record it, so there is life somewhere inside. Just like these upcoming races, I am going to start very small, just simple emotional color and go from there.

This thread is turning out interesting to read LOL
I thought the OP referred to an upcoming series announcement causing excitement... But anyway. I like this thread!
I hear you about momma boy. I am ok and can handle a slight needy ones but a momma is just a no no for me!
Especially ones that have passed forties!
Your post @jamie vaughn has made me chuckle thinking about some juicy anecdotes LOL

Congratulations on your new job! My favorite wines...Super Tuscans and Brunello's, but nearly anything from Italy makes me happy. Funny thing is, I can handle martinis ridiculously easy, but a glass of the above will make me find a chair.[/QUOTE]
@DirtDiva , this above is funny
Chateau de Segonzac --- 2010 was my last (2 weeks ago)best tasting sip. 2 Glass week end for me

Peg: no, you are not alone. This kind of thread elicits no venom from anyone to anyone else, it also brings us closer to one another, helps us to see each other as real human beings, not just cyber avatars with irritating and opposing (to our) opinions! Whatever helps us to know each other better has to be good.
Aqua girl: you really started something here, and also, don't worry: you might think your life is boring right now, but I guarantee you, we won't find it so, so tell us anyway, all the minutiae, all and any of it. Also: remember how just when you think things are settling down, life throws a spanner in your best plans .... Things will change up just when we least expect them to ...
Nita: I am thrilled for you on all of your news: that you are finding balance in your body and life, re-gaining muscle strength and inner strength? Paint girl: just paint. Don't judge what comes out, just do it. Have you ever read Anne Lamott on writing? She gives us all permission to just get something down on paper, called 'the shitty first draft.' It doesn't matter what quality we end up with at first, the point is just to get it all out of you, like some kind of aesthetic purging. Get the urge to judge and the need for perfectionism out by just doing the thing, whatever the thing happens to be. You will feel so much better for this one simple act. Later, you can think about crafting and meaning. For now, just DO. Also: living alone, deciding to do so, being able to do so, this is no small thing. It is important. It is completely necessary at some points in life. I am also happy for you that you are doing this, and able to do this and have had the courage to live it. Big hugs from me to you for all you have recently gone through and are experiencing. And thanks for your words to me. Truly.
Jamie: congrats on dumping the man-child and congrats on finding a man! Eat cookies if you want to eat cookies. A bikini body is just a body with a bikini on it! Right? Still, avoid cookies if it is a habit you want to avoid. Kids spending our hard-earned cash? I get it. We gave our daughters our credit card to use while away at college for 'emergencies.' My eldest uses it every-bloody-where. I ask her, 'why did you use MY card to buy Cinnabons and for YOUR hair cut?' She says 'because my $ is for me.' Oh, I see ....
Rapid Breath: you started something here! Loved your newsy chat, a mixed bag. I think all our lives are like that? De-cluttering is good. I just can't do it right now, too much else going on. At the end of gardening season? Yep, then it will be time to re-focus my gaze inwards, to the house interior.
Gobias: get the sauna already and enjoy! We have too little pleasure in life as it is. Do what makes you feel good.

Clare, You said everything perfectly! I thought about posting a similar comment. When are you going to write your own book??? You write beautifully!! It could be about anything. Sign me up for a pre-order! Now it's your turn....Many congrats on your new job! It could be the start of something quite interesting for you. Very different from your other work, right? I hope you feel fulfilled in this new role. As for your daughter....it seems an honor and a burden to be the keeper of such an important "secret". I would be glad that my daughter has enough trust and respect for me to tell me something huge.... YET to keep quiet about it? Ugh! That's a tough one! Kids (well mine anyway) will always seem to push us and test us no matter how old they get I suppose. No one ever said being a parent is easy.
My lovely child has been to 5 different colleges, has a bazillion credits, has taken some fascinating classes....and NO friggin piece of paper saying she's DONE!! She came back home to get herself together. She's taking the tiniest baby steps I've ever witnessed. My husband gets upset with her but I'm more patient. I know she'll get "there" eventually. We all have burdens. And you're correct in saying that threads like this bring us closer together. I love it and have a deep affection for my fellow Cathletes!

I love reading all your updates! Clare, we live near the NY Finger lakes and have spent many weekends going on wine tastings. It is so nice you were able to fine a job in that field. Hopefully your adjustment in hours gets better. It helps me to go to bed and get up at about the same time even on my days off. I work out after work-and checking the boards here of course!
Dirt Diva, so glad to hear you're riding again and getting ready for some "races". Just finishing is a win in my book.
Rapid Breath-we just had our last yard sale ever last weekend. We have been decluttering for a year. Next to go will be the two children (23 and 20) when they get settled! It takes a while for some as Peg, Jamie and Clare mentioned.
For me: I've come to a major realization that I am not going to be able to put on very much muscle-huge to me as only you all can understand. I am just not built that way and am tired of injuring myself in my struggle. So, I've been doing light to moderate weights, not having pain, and feeling good! Exercising/working out is giving me joy and energy. Before I never felt like I did enough unless I was totally fried at the end of the session. I'm not following a rotation, just doing what I feel like, and watching my food. I started a whole30 challenge this month and feel great. No processed food is key for me to not have bloating. I am ready for a glass of wine, but can wait another 22.5 days (yes, I'm counting!).
Hope to read more!

Ok here is my bit!
Fitness wise, I am not on any specific goal at the moment. I am still eating clean during the week but finding it hard week end
as I am going out almost every week end at the moment. I am doing STS Meso 3 and two weeks ago I stressed my
rotator cuff. Not sure if it is a ligament issue. I have said to myself and promised my fiance to go see my doctor
to find out what is making any rotation painful at the moment. That said I am still doing as much as can modifying.
lateral raise on long lever is uncomfortable, painful. I managed to do disc 30 today though.
Work wise I am looking for a new job more on a long term basis rather than short. I am considering working for our govern
ment here in Belgium or for an international company. Bruxelles being the center of Europe, I am mainly targeting companies
based in our capital. I prefer to work for multinational/international compagnies. I am a corporate minded worker very familiar
with procedures. I am very accustomed to terms and conditions having worked as an accounting professional.
My other hobby is dancing, I love dancing afro and latine moves. Salsa cuban, bachata and an african dance called Kizomba.
Although I love dancing I can not put my mind into feeling accomplished from dancing based workout. I hope i have expressed myself correctly
Dancing for me is more a way of expressing myself and socialising with people.
Now Relationship wise, I am no longer on the dating market as they say Lol. I was single for a long time for about six to seven years. I had my time of deliberately refusing to give few blokes a chance cause I needed time! I put an end to eight years long relationship and It was hard decision to make. There have been a time I built an armour to prevent myself any heartache and/or Drama. I found myself dating a nice looking Dutch guy. A fit footballer. Everything was fine but I knew I would end up being the other woman!!! So I stopped seeing him. Sorry boring, too many thoughts came in my mind cause it was just at the time when I wanted to settle for a family.
Well now you ladies are thinking well what have you been up to during all those years, well I dated. Yes I also did the online dating. I met nice people and dated few of them
Looking back to my life, I do not recall being in more than two one night stands ---Boring I know. It is just not my type. I am pretty conservative when it comes to relationship. I love being in love and all the romantic side of it. I had my fair share of learning the hard way that being a black woman It is harder to HAVE it all, career, love, kids, being a wife, girlfriends etc... At some point I thought It was just mission impossible. I worked more hours, I went out a lot, I travelled a lot privately and for business, I probably even worked out more to just switch off my brain from thinking and pursuing all that
Now as I am writting this I am in what is called a serious relationship. My heart is taken. I did not meet him through the internet though Now I have no kids --- Sorry ladies I do not have anything to share in that department. I have never been married either. Now never said never!
I am now looking forward to my own workout room, moving in a much bigger space
Hope I have spilled enough beans
Enough 2 know a little bit about me

I had my time of deliberately refusing to give few blokes a chance cause I needed time! I put an end to eight years long relationship and It was hard decision to make. There have been a time I built an armour to prevent myself any heartache and/or Drama. I found myself dating a nice looking Dutch guy. A fit footballer. Everything was fine but I knew I would end up being the other woman!!! So I stopped seeing him. Sorry boring, too many thoughts came in my mind cause it was just at the time when I wanted to settle for a family.
Well now you ladies are thinking well what have you been up to during all those years, well I dated. Yes I also did the online dating. I met nice people and dated few of them
Looking back to my life, I do not recall being in more than two one night stands ---Boring I know. It is just not my type. I am pretty conservative when it comes to relationship. I love being in love and all the romantic side of it. I had my fair share of learning the hard way that being a black woman It is harder to HAVE it all, career, love, kids, being a wife, girlfriends etc... At some point I thought It was just mission impossible. I worked more hours, I went out a lot, I travelled a lot privately and for business, I probably even worked out more to just switch off my brain from thinking and pursuing all that
Now as I am writting this I am in what is called a serious relationship. My heart is taken. I did not meet him through the internet though
Now I have no kids --- Sorry ladies I do not have anything to share in that department. I have never been married either. Now never said never!I am now looking forward to my own workout room, moving in a much bigger space
Hope I have spilled enough beans
Enough 2 know a little bit about me
