Technically I don't "graduate" to this group until September, but do you mind if I jump in a little early?
I'm a maintainer for 18 months now. I tend to post most in the Exercise forum because I lead a very active lifestyle, working out vigorously pretty much every day. I run 25 miles per week average (like to do half marathons), hike, swim, kayak, strength train, yoga, etc. Being so active is key to losing and maintaining weight loss for me, plus I really love it!
Otherwise, I'm happily married with two sons, one 15 and the other turning 18 tomorrow. I work full time, am very active in my church (especially the music program) and also like to read and crochet. I'm not much for just sitting around.
I don't feel 49.75, and am looking forward to 50 because that puts me in a different age group for races and I have a better chance of winning medals! Just last Friday I boldly went gray .... I had stopped coloring around Christmas time and was tired of being two-tone. I had it all chopped off to a chic pixie cut and am now showing off my natural, curly, salt and pepper hair in all its glory. It's nice to be at a stage in life where, frankly, I don't care what anyone else thinks!
Hope you don't mind if I give myself an early promotion and hop on in ....
