40's new in January 2014

Mary-still feeling cheaply poor nose is red and sore. They cancelled schools here tomarrow due to cold temps.
 
Hi, they called me in today, I ended up 8-7. School for me tomorrow, Mary. I'm not whining, Screw it, lets gitter done and knock this b**** out.

Bch, good job on ninja. I eat green smoothies often.

Roxie, it must be cold.

Lisa, glad you're heart is still beating and you got a w/o in.

Murph, good job on w/o. How often have you done STS?

Ronne, you are due back soon!

I wore a sport bra thinking I would come home and be ready to w/o but I stayed later than I thought. Tomorrow maybe.
 
Hi all

I'm back at my desk. DD gone off to school and DH at work. Christmas decorations are all down and house cleaned.
I've also started the January rotation - not sure if I'll make it all the way through but I'll give it my best. GS CT done today. It hurt!!
Really enjoyed the last two weeks, they're my favourite of the year as I love the chance to do nothing!!

Roxie - sounds like you're under the weather as well as coping with bad weather!!

Jody - that's good news isn't it? More money??

Mary - are you doing the January rotation as well? Or is it just coincidence?! Sounds like we're on the same track re the house as well. Fortunately, not with the weather tho! No snow here but lots of rain and flooding - path to town is under water :(

Lisa - sounds like the muscles are working but the low bp heartrate a worry?

Murphy - how are you? good to see you! I always get breathless with legs, sometimes Cathe says to take rests to get heart rate down, so it's not just you!

bchgrl - hello!
 
Hi all! Did CCC, ugly! Ronne, I am following the January rotation, I might substitute PS along with the GS, just to break it up. Rain is not my favorite, wicked cold here! Roxie, lol! Cheaply crappy! Hope you are on the mend! Jody, hope school went well today. Will you graduate this semester? Lisa, how are you feeling? Bch, are you feeling better? Hi Murphy! Getting a little stir crazy with the kids! Hope everyone has a good day, Mary
 
I did SM and then Intensity Bootcamp bonus. Going for my massage later, right now everything feels good :)

Mary, CCC is ugly, actually probably anything I do never looks as graceful as them!1

Ronne, I saw on the news where a whole cliffside collapsed from the rain you are getting.

Jody, Felt a little dizzy today during my w/o (when I went from floor to standing quickly), HR and BP was ok this morning, but maybe it's a bit low for how my body likes it? I swear some can live actively on low BP, but if I get too low 110/70 or so, I feel dead. I must be sensitive to the lisinopril, funny story, during second labor, my BP was high, they gave me mag sulfate, upon giving birth, my BP plummeted to 75/15, DH said I was white as a sheet! Gave the nurse the baby and said GET THAT DR IN HERE NOW! Turns out I'm very sensitive to mag sulfate, they said, if you have another baby make sure you remind whoever is delivering you! Wouldn't allow any phone calls into my room and I had told my BFF I would call her right back and then when I didn't call and she couldn't get thru she started worrying. I had heartburn during both pregnancies, first one I tried to take nothing (you always try to do everything right), second one, I drank the mylanta from my desk all day.....no wonder I didn't have BP issues during my 2nd pregnancy as I think Mylanta has mag sulfate.

Contracting company called me, wants me to pick up my laptop within the next couple of days. I'm going with that it confirms to me that I'm to work from home as the offer letter specifically said "an offer of employment for you to join their team working remotely on the IBM Boulder GDF Account" So since they want me to pick up laptop before I even start means they don't expect me to go into office, or that's how I read it :) I'm doing it whether it is or not, still not sure how I'll be for a whole day with no neck support.
 
Mary, CCC is to me one of the hardest! For that matter, my cardio endurance has sunk so low most Cathie's are difficult for me. That's one of my goalst his year. To get my fitness level up that I can do any cathe video straight through with no rests and no modifications.due to no more pto I went to work this morning but only lasted 4 hrs. I'm getting knocked on my butt for sure.
 
Bch, I have the opposite goal, whittle my Cathe's down to 30 doable minutes. In fact after this semester I want to create a 30 minute to xtrain fitness, adapting either the LIS/XT rotation or the pure XT90 rotation. I think Candicena did it already on another forum but I like to reinvent the wheel.
Did you get checked for flu?

Lisa, interesting thought about the mag and the pg and bp. IDK but it sounds good to me. Good plan on the laptop and job.

Ronne's back, hiiii!

Mary, I looked at the rotation for Jan. I wouldn't consider doing any Cathe designed rotation this semester at all, but it looked good. You and Ronne have fun, though.

Roxie, I don't see calendar at bottom of KCM, just rotations and I don't see the rotation there.

Back in class today, we are gonna be so busy this semester. Its the sprint at the end of the marathon, but the Greek who did the first marathon croaked right after he delivered his message, hoping that won't happen to me!

So far I'm working some 12's days,on weekends next schedule. Sweet!

Edited to add a workout, kcm lift the second w/o and a short pm at that. I'll have to go back and do another aspect of it before I move on to the next dvd in rotation pile.

Made a doc appt for tomorrow to get a diagnosis and maybe some meds. I hate going to doctors esp when pretty sure there's nothing that can be done. But this has gone on long enough and I have only one week before my employee challenge officially begins
 
Good Evening,

No workout for me I was having some stomach issues this morning and most of the day and then ended up working later then expected, I was just now able to eat something. I still have my cold but felt a little better today.

Jody-on her home page go down to the picture of her mom and dad and sisters and brothers there is a green picture with a calendar on it.

Bchgrl-hopefully the doctor can do something for you tomarrow.

Lisa-it would be great to work from home.

Ronne-welcome back.

Mary-I have that workout but have never tried it.
 
Thanx rox, I was there but I think cookies in my browser kept the new one from coming up or something internet related like that b/c I went to the home page, saw the same things I always saw, hit refresh and saw the new pic w/ the 50 yr old saying, then hit that calendar and finally its there.
I'm really glad I started collecting kcm.

Hi all

Jody - it took me ages to find that calendar. I just couldn't spot it! glad you're liking the KCMs. I really like her personality.

Roxie - sorry to hear you're feeling ill. Are you back to work this week?

bchgrl - hope the doctor gives you some help.

Lisa - I can't believe you're going back to work again - seems like a mad way to run a company. Working at home is great though!

Mary - you're a better woman than me! I did the Express premix from CCC. My excuse is that I'm very busy with work!! I did give it my all though.

Will have to do a bit of evening working to catch up with stuff. January is going to be flat out but I'm not complaining about earning!
 
Good morning! Today did GS BS&B. Roxie, don't break the seal on that DVD! I think tabatacize is easier than that one! Hope you are feeling better. Bch, hope the doctor helps you! Lisa, did you call the doctor about adjusting your dose? (Look, I'm nagging!). :D! Ronne, I'm supposed to do x10 tomorrow! I'm scare! All ready! Good for the work. What trip are you planning for this year? Jody, just think in 16 weeks you will be done! It went so fast......for me at least! Hi Murphy! Kids STiLL off school, go back tomorrow. Cold here, like everywhere else. I want out of the vortex! Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I am feeling alot better today stomach settled down and cold is alot better just barely blowing my nose. I didn't take my antibiotic this morning and don't plan on taking it tonite. I didn't get home as early as I wanted but I did do the standing portion of Great Glutes. I really need to get up in the mornings.

Ronne-working 4 days a week which is more then I planned on but the boss man had a heart attack before christmas and now his hemoglobin is to low so he had a blood transfusion today.

Mary-I bought that workout on Ebay so no great loss. I like the low impact workout on X10 and the X41 workout not a fan of the hi/lo.

Jody-glad you found it. I need to scale down to 30 minute workouts.
 
I feel human again! I think yesterday must have been my peak and now I'm over the worst of it! Actually worked a full 8 hrs today and did sts 2 (back and tris). It's wonderful to feel normal again. Thanks everyone for the support! I'm going to take it nice and slow with cardio for the rest of the week so I don't have any set backs.
 
I did the little ab roll out section thingy of kcm this morning from Lift. Well, sorta, I can't do them all out. OK so no guarantee I'll do anything for the next 4 months, but I will let you know.
New site today, very rural and much lower socioeconomic area. When this is all over I'm going to dance and dance and dance. Literally, sign me up for bellydance in May, right now. Talked to a student from last class, 5 of her peers (about 50 percent of the class) remain unemployed. I still question my carreer/education choice but it doesn't matter now anyway.
Also, weird hours at this place, 8 to 8??

Re CCC, clearly some of you aren't slacking off enough! I think when they are so out of hand it is Sometimes easier to modify. I use the super hard parts as recovery while shaking my head.
Ok it's 430. Get up and get something done, nap later. or try to sleep two more hours?
Hugs to all.

Hello

Jody - I'd go for sleep every time! Just as important if not more than working out! Sounds like you're going to be very busy for the forseeable future. Are you enjoying putting your study into practice?

Roxie - sounds like you're going to be quite busy with work as well. 4 days is nice though, isn't it?

Mary - I'm subbing AOLIH for X10 tomorrow as I don't have it. What do you think? Not planned summer yet but we go skiing in about 6 weeks!!

Lisa - are you in massage bliss heaven? :D

BSB done, cautious on the weights, don't want to aggravate anything. My right hip is hurting a bit from yesterday, I think it's the impact. Probably time for new trainers again.
Went to see All Is Lost last night. Really gripping, not recommended if you like sailing!
 
Good morning! Today did x52, uglier than CCC! Ronne, I think that sounds like a perfect sub! I made myself face the beast and then wanted to abandon ship! In the past I have raced sailboats, can be very scary. I heard Robert Redford was amazing tho! Jody, is your sleep all out of whack? What are you doing up at 4:30???? Bch, glad you are feeling better! Lisa, are you working all ready? Roxie, it's your day off? You better? Hi Murphy! Kids off AGAIN, busses wouldn't start I'm getting twitchy to be alone! Have a good day! Mary
