Re: getting older...
It beats the alternative.

I'm getting old too quickly. But I am trying to combat it by getting my body in better shape than ever. I may not LOOK like I did when I was a teenager but I'd like to have energy like I'm a teenager. I just wish I could stop these gray hairs!

I'm the same way. I'm older, but more fit then ever! Since I quit drinking and started working out in 2012 I think I've lost about 50 lbs. I've been at my goal weight for a while, but am getting more serious about toning. I've been thinking about creating a fitness type thread, so I (and hopefully others) can talk about working out and stuff.

Does anyone know how to cross stitch? I'm teaching myself atm

I would a fittness thread
I am about where you are except I would love to lose another 8 lbs. I haven't lost anything since August!! I've gained a couple lbs of muscle, actually, doing p90x3 the past 7-8 weeks. I can tell I'm stronger and would love to keep building muscle but I want to balance it out with still losing some fat . I bought a body fat caliber a couple weeks ago and am currently at 25%, My goal is 22%. I'm trying not to focus too much on the scale and focus more on getting rid of the jiggle .

I also saw your post about how to cross stitch. I know how to do that....did some as a kid actually. I just recently taught myself how to crochet (single stitch). I don't have much time or the best wrists for it but I hope to get better eventually.

I remember my mom teaching me some very basic cross stitching as a kid, but sadly I've forgotten it. Some day I should try to learn that kind of thing again.

You should definitely make this happen! I don't know if the Sports Bar would be considered an apt place for it or not.

I need to renew my gym membership.

I really want to start doing yoga but I haven't the training, money, space, time or ability to do it very effectively.

You've got a body, gravity, and the Internet. That's all you need.

I am sure Allison can point you in the right direction for self directed instruction until you can go to an instructor.

Yeah, Al pal has mentioned a youtube channel or two, I jsut need the space to do it.

I won a yoga mat (and other goodies) in a raffle a year ago, and have only used it once.

Yeah I need a yoga mat, so I can be a Yoga Matt.

Hi Yoga Matt, will you be my yoga mat?

yes

I'll create a fitness thread in the morning.

Elo - I used to crochet as a child/teen, but haven't in years. I'm hoping to revisit that this year as well. It's a shame you can't really win your wrists
I may need to pick your brain if I get stuck in my quest to learn how to cross stitch. I think I'm doing pretty good though. I just started and here is where I am:

Ha ha ha at the Marmot commercial in the Superbowl

Seriously? I have not been watching.

I just found it on YouTube as well.

Meet the Marmot.

I don't get the commercial.

It's an outdoor clothing company, like Columbia or North Face.

Ooh my winter hat is Columbia.

Yup. They make some pretty stellar tents too.

That's hilarious!! I thought it was going to bite him though, not smack him.

I absolutely love my Bat Bear avatar, I post just to see it

Bat Bear is super cute~

I feel sorry for the little elementary school kids who already got picked up by the buses.

I saw the bus driver for our street drop a little girl off at her house, so I guess they all just turned around. Good thing they get paid hourly.

We live in a neighborhood where hardly anybody works, so it's not a problem.

Epignosis, does the name Amos have any biblical meaning?

Yup.

"the reign of Uzziah". Heathen!

I was moreover trying to find if the name literally translates into something in particular, but thanks for that as well.
