40's Independance!

Good Evening,

Tonite I went to the gym and did intervals on the elliptical and burned a fair amount of calories did 65 mins.

Jody-my pt is pretty awesome.
 
I read the rotation wrong and did TTM. I loaned out my kickbox so I guess it did not matter too much but the break would have been nice. I could only do the first 30 minutets and then I cut to the ab section - the blue bands got me again. I like this ab section better than the CF ab section.

Lisa - yes, I use the blue band and yes, it is intense.

Jody - how do you like AT? It is one of my favorites.

Roxie - I miss having a PT. A good one can really whip you into shape in no time.

Ronne - do you have a similar holiday to our 4th of July?

Becky - did you say your DD is traveling? Does this mean you will have an empty nest for a bit?

Hi to anyone I missed. Happy 4th of July.

Murphy
 
I did two dance classes last night, TTM for me today. I'll report about that once its done.
Lisa, I was thinking, how about frozen fruit and some greek yogurt in your vitamix instead of icecream? I've made banana pb yogurt in the food processor, it was great, too.
Murphy, I very very rarely loan w/o dvds to anyone. It gave me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. AT is at the front of my LIS package, so it must be one of my faves of the series. I got so many new Cathe's over the last year, I really haven't done any of them enough to develop a strong relationship with, like I had with BG, LIC, DM and BM2.
Oh I noticed Its Friday song on the CF dvd. Ack!
Happy 4th to all. Yeah, Ronne, is today "Good Riddance" day on your side of the pond? : )

Hi all

Murphy - I did KPC for you so don't worry!

Jody - no, there's nothing going on today here. America? Sorry, never heard of it!! :p I like the look of the outfits in the new DVDs (well, the clips I've seen). Jai looks amazing! Have you seen the prices of that stuff though? It's so expensive. I can't pay that much just to sweat into it.

Lisa - hope the doctor appt went OK. I do ususally skip stuff, it's not like me to sub!!

Did KPC - it's a while since I've done it all the way through. Worked up a good sweat. I was really proud of myself as I did all the roll-in/pikes at the end on the ball! Work a bit quieter today so managed to sneak in a bit of tennis on the TV. Going on Friday and getting very excited!
 
TTM- TTM extreme pm no steady state, includes the bonus tabatas. I wanted to try all the tabata stuff. I did take an advil half way thru since my neck gets jammed up with jumping on step or impact or lunges off step or something, not sure which thing is doing it but it seems more step/impact than mere jumping or jogging impact. weird, I know. I think I'm really going to be using these workouts a lot, but usually in shorter pms.
Lisa, derm visit?
Roxie, are you hanging with your family today? Do you listen to music on elliptical? after an hour you must have been spent!
Ronne, do you know who you get to see on Fri? Will we see you on our telly?
Hi again to Murphy and waves to Becky and Mary who are out there somewhere
 
HI ladies, thanks for the derm thoughts....didn't go too well :( I'm paying for all my sun in my younger years. I went in with 2 suspicious spots and she found 4, and another to watch, and I have a sneaky suspicion I have another just starting on my scalp. So 2 biopsies on the suspicious basal cell cancers and 2 spots frozen for the akintisis ( I know I'm spelling it wrong but don't feel like looking it up). Will know in 2 wks if they are basals (pretty sure one is) and then will have to have MOHS surgery. One is right where the pad for the sunglasses is (OUCH), and the other 1 inch to the outside of where my lips meet. (sigh). No w/o today, didn't sleep well last night (hope THAT isn't starting up again!), plus I didn't feel like sweating into my owies. The boys are coming over today for BBQ and we will probably play some game....eyeing one on the IPAD right now.

Ronne, I watched a bit of Wimbledon this morning. It was a good match between Murray and another guy. Thought of you :) Good for you doing KPC and the pikes! I can't pay that much to sweat into it and no one see me (but then I don't want people to SEE me if you get my drift). I bought a nice Nike w/o top that I thought to use for a hike but decided it was too much skin for the public :) Not to mention the backpack rubbing my back.

Jody, It's my lower back that is getting "jammed" with those type of moves. That's why no more hero for me and I'm using less risers.

Murphy, I bow to you using the blue band (I don't have it so that's my excuse ? )

gotta run DS is here.
 
Good Morning,

I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike for 50mins then had a PT session going to DHs sisters house for supper. I am down 1 1/2lbs lost and inch in my waist and 1/2 inch from my hips.

Lisa-sorry to hear about your spots I always wear sunscreen on my face.

Jody-I do listen to music and they have 6 t.v.s that you can watch but most of the time I people watch and yes I was spent.

Lisa and Ronne-I buy most of my workout wear from Target doesn't cost much and I don't mind showing skin I work to hard not to.
 
Just finished TBT LB. I skipped two sections, it just felt awkward. I had to cut short part of the rear lunges on my right side b/c my foot was bothering me. I had surgery on it decades ago and I cannot remember it bothering me in the summer - winter yes (when I slacked off on the exercise), but not the summer. I was thinking that maybe I am working it too much, but I have done that before too w/o problem (or at least worked it too much in my mind). Maybe it is just another "blessing" that comes with getting older. ;-)

Jody - I don't like to loan anything out either but she is the friend who introduced me to Cathe in the first place so I felt like I should help her. BTW, BG and DM are two of my favorites too. With that said, DM is slowly going to the bottom of the pile as I get older.

Lisa - sorry to hear about the Derm visit. Good luck with everything.

Ronne - I agree about the workout gear. Some of it is nice, but way out of my price range. The clothes/vendor are supposedly going to be at the roadtrip but I don't know if at a better price. The upside is that you can try them on. I hate to shop by catalog or online b/c they just never fit right, the sizes are off or my booty is just too big. :-(

Roxie - congrat's on the weight and inches lost.

Waves to Mary and Becky, hope all is okay.

Murphy
 
Hello ladies

Murphy - I've still got the DOMS from Tues when I did TBT LB! Are you looking forward to the roadtrip? It's coming up soon isn't it? Lucky you!

Roxie - wow congrats on the weight/inch loss. At least your hard work is paying off.

Lisa - sorry to hear the bad news about your 'spots'. It makes me even more paranoid about my DD and the sun.

Jody - I'm seeing the men's semis tomorrow! Djokovic v Federer and Murray v Tsonga. I'm so excited! I'm up in the gods under the roof so I don't think you'll be able to spot me.

Did CSS today as a sub for one of the new ones. I imagine it's fairly equivalent. Meant to post these photos last week. Took photos of my workout area (ie the lounge!), before and after shots.

Ronne - I like your "lounge". Is that the "clicker" step and does it say STS on it? I don't think have have ever seen that type of stepper before. Love the rug too. Have fun at Wimbledon.
 
Good Morning,

I am very tired today I had a migraine all day yesterday and then we went to a fireworks show and due to and accident didn't get home until after midnight and I couldn't sleep very well our room was hot and my head hurt and it still hurts today my allergies are going nuts so that isn't helping. I don't plan on going to the gym tonite just going home and do a wt. workout then eat and go to bed.

Ronne-love the workout room and have fun today those matches sound like they will be good ones to watch. Thanks for the congrats.

Murphy-thanks for the congrats. It sucks to get older all your aches and pains start to come out.
 
Ack! I may be starting the no sleep stretch! Got up late, but did get in TBT UB.

Roxie, I've had headaches off and on from pressure changes. Between the heat and that I've been feeling wiped out.....and let's not talk about AGE Murphy! A bit over a month and I turn another year.

Ronne, What a nice w/o and lounge area. I would be bad about putting everything away. Nice staging with AT on the Tele. :) Enjoy Wimbledon!

Jody, Had a nice whole fruit margarita out of the Vitamix yesterday (orange, lemon, lime, tequilla, grand marnier, and probably sugar (DS made it). Then had a Strawberry/Lime sorbet...1 lb frozen strawberries, 1/2 lime, sugar (yes I splurged yesterday, normally I'd use stevia). It was YUM!

Started a new book yesterday, I'm already hooked from page 10! Love that kind of book. Breaking the Silence by Diane Chamerlain. I also heard on the news this morning that the author of 50 Shades expects a baby boom in 9 mths because the book has inspired women. LOL Uh, a lot of those women are past child bearing age! haha

Waves to Mary and Becky too! Hope you had a nice 4th!

Relpax, it's the only one I've ever tried and works for me for the most part. I hate that it costs so much, I feel like I'm swallowing a $5 bill each time I take one.

Lisa-lol. Do you have Diane Chamberlain in your dropbox, alot of people have recommended her books?
 
Lisa, sorry about your spots- let us know how your follow ups go. Hugs. Yea for finding a good book to read, tho. I'm reading a bunch of brain books, lol. The Amen books and Incognito. Still in the middle of Rose Madder.
Roxie, hope you are feeling better this eve.
Ronne, my dd squealed with excitement re your matches. We will probably watch a lot of it tomorrow, should be a good day for you to be there, WHOOP!
Murphy, Ixnay onay ethay olday ageay alktay. We must not speak of these things! It makes it very difficult to pretend they don't exist! Hmm, now when will my new knee get here?? : )
Today I did SJP only w/o the J. I was looking to do a circuit but that didn't really turn out to be what I wanted.
Have a nice night and waves to all~
ps, good job on all the fruit Lisa. : )
 
I am having a rest-ish day. Instead of fully resting, I did the ab portion I did not do on tuesday. I should be doing CF today, but I stayed up late watching Safe House (Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds). It was okay but I was tired this morning. Maybe I will try to tackle it tomorrow. ;-)

Roxie - I hope you are feeling better.
Ronne - have fun.
Lisa - I hope you get some rest soon.
Jody - LOL. I hear you.

Waves to Mary and Becky.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I ended up not doing a workout yesterday DD wanted me to help her clean the new house but we didn't do that either so I just sat and relaxed hoping it would help. I didn't get up this morning and go to spin class still have a slight headache but nothing like yesterday so I will go to the gym tonite. It looks like next week we are finally going to get a break from this heat thank god.

Jody-you are funny.

Murphy-enjoy your rest-ish day.
 
Roxie, sounds like a nice time just hanging out w/ dd, even if you didn't get stuff done- at least your head is better!
Ronne, Federer won, so dd enjoyed, but I admit I was doing my workout and missed it. It started airing here around 8 am I think. Will you/ Did you see Murray today? He's who you want to prevail, right?
I did CF today. I wanted to do the whole workout minus the initial blast but including the bonus low impact tabata and core. My band resnapped so firewalker tabata got dropped too.
Oh and I apologize for saying that the Friday song was in CF. I confused the Katy Perry song w/ it, my total bad, thank goodness.
Have a great Friday~~
