    Pentagenarians and Beyond: Hooray for the Weekend

    Holy Moly, Guys, so sorry for not posting for almost a week! The new job is a LOT of work, but I love it! I was completely overwhelmed Monday-Thursday. Friday, I started to feel like maybe I will get a handle on it. Of course, this coming week, I have 5 training sessions with 5 different...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: It's Monday!

    Happy Monday, All, Garance, DIL's mother fell in the road when her dog suddenly jerked the leash. Josie, was today the funeral? I'm thinking of you. Deb, sounds like you're totally back in the swing of things. Linny, Friday will be here before you know it. Yesterday I did Christi...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: The weekend!

    Happy Sunday, All, Yesterday was spent running after Sam most of the day and running errands. Last night DH and I babysat the other grandsons at DD's house while she and SIL went out to dinner with friends. Today, I've had Sam here all morning. We took him to Sam's Club for some serious...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond - Thursday

    Happy Thursday, All, Whoo, what a week! It's certainly not the week of rest I had envisioned! The new baby has decided he loves to party all night, so DIL is seriously sleep-deprived. DS has been bringing Sam over here to spend the day every day so she can get some sleep at home. DIL's...

    Pentagenarians and Beyond: Tuesday's calm before the storm

    Happy Tuesday, All, Yesterday's workout was chasing Sam around for a good bit of the day. His daddy brought him over here after breakfast to let his mommy and new baby brother get some rest (his daddy, my DS is on vacation this week). Even with 2 adults here, we felt outmanned by this very...

    Pentagenarians and Beyond--Another freezing Monday!

    Happy Monday, All, Well, I lasted through about 10 minutes of Strength, Balance, and Flexibility yesterday before I had to quit - just couldn't heft the weights around. I guess maybe I should have started back in with cardio, not weights. I did go for a long walk later though, with DH -...

    Pentagenarians and Beyond: Thank God its the weekend!

    Happy Sunday, All, So sorry to be gone from here, haven't had time to take a breath! First of all, Josie, I wish I could give you a big hug. I am so glad you got to talk to your friend while she could understand you. Linny, I am worried about you! I think I might have that ultrasound...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond - Thursday

    Happy Thursday, All, Sorry to be absent for so many days in a row - it's been quite a week! Monday, I found out that I would not be paid for unused sick days when I leave the company. I have 8 left, so I told my supervisor my last day would be Tuesday, and the rest of my 2-week-notice time...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: TGIF!!

    Boy, Linny, this is a tough one. Let's see: present job: Boss is not so nice. You frequently don't know what your schedule will be, nor how many hours you will work at a time. Possible future job: Boss seems nice. Sign-on bonus. No weekends. But, yuck, third shift. You...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: It's Thursday!

    Happy Thursday, All, Tuesday, I felt so bad when I got home from work that I went straight to bed. I didn't go to work yesterday. I think that day of rest is what I needed, because I feel almost human today for the first time in over a week. I'm still coughing like crazy and have no energy...

    BSN Lean Dessert Protein

    I love BSN as well, and I've tried so many. Most of them make me gag, but this one is pretty good. I don't think I'd use it with just water, but it's great with 4 ounces of milk, and the rest water and crushed ice. I also like it with 2 ounces of milk and 2 ounces of sour cream instead of 4...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: ++ Tuesday++

    Happy Tuesday, All, I'm still not feeling great. I can breathe a little better, but I'm so weak I almost didn't make it walking back and forth from work to get coffee (it's not very far). I hope I continue to improve because I took my last antibiotic last night. Also, DH started coughing and...

    Classical Stretch question

    I'm a new convert to Classical Stretch and am addicted! I bought 3 DVDs - the one you have, the new one that has 3 30-minute segments, and the one from the TV season that has 27 different segments (great bargain). I don't know about her claims about lengthening vs. bulking, etc., because I'm a...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: It's Monday!

    Happy Monday, All, I came to work, and am having to reassure everyone that the doctor says I'm no longer contagious, since I'm coughing like Typhoid Mary. Linny, those inhalers do work wonders. I'm trying not to use them because they only have 2 kinds as far as I know, one of which raises...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: + TGIF ! +

    Happy Friday, All, Garance, I would not be at all happy either. Maybe you can get Amazon to help you out with this? I would think they'd have to have some responsibility since this was advertised on their site. Deb, yes, Motown Moves is cardio - and it's hilarious. Tammilee is completely...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: @Thursday@

    Happy Thursday, All, Deb, yes Houston is very humid. We're not far from the Gulf of Mexico. Dallas is completely different - it's quite dry there. It's at least a 4-hour drive north of Houston. Linny, don't let that manager yell at you! That's just bullying you and incredibly...

    Pentagenarians & Beyond: ++Wednesday++

    Happy Wednesday, All, Deb, from Collage I ordered Reach by Kari Anderson, Fat Burning Fusion by Ellen Barrett, and 2 by Tanja Djelevic: Cardio BalanceBall, and Cardio Toning Fusion. Ellen and Tanja are new to me. Today is my day off, but Little Peanut and the Whirling Dervish will be here...
