40 & over checkin - week of 8/17

[fitover40]

HI all....I just got done with KBway. Now I'm going to lunch with my BFF....no margarita for me although after last night I sure could use it. My DS16 had a little car accident. No damage to our car, maybe a scratch or 2 on the other's rear bumper. Here in CO juvenilles have to appear in court for their ticket and parents have to accompany them. It's a good learning lesson....I just hope he's learned. They always seem so confident and teens just don't realize how quickly things can go wrong in the blink of an eye. He will have to pay his court costs and ticket of course.

Murphy, I love the pace weights. Best purchase I ever made.

Off to shower and then lunch. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi all, I can't believe it is all ready Wed.! Next week the kids go back to school, only a few more days of sleeping in! I'm ready for them to go back, but I do enjoy the laziness of the mornings. Today I did PS CST, fun little workout. Now I need to get started on the garage, we have been a little sloppy. Lisa, I'm glad to hear your son is ok, I get a little frightened thinking about my kids driving! Hopefully his insurance won't go up too much. I don't get to grocery shop at Walmart/Target as ours are just , well they aren't super stores. Have fun at your lunch today. Murphy, don't feel bad about your workout, maybe your body was telling you to have a light day. Vilma, your squats are impressive!! Rhondalyn, hope your head feels better today. Hi to Lucy, Andrea and all that I have forgotten. Have a good day. Mary

Hello everyone,

Today I did CC-8 on the TM. Great workout! No HA today though I was worried during the first challenge. I figured out what it was.

Primary Exertion Headache

(or Cough headache, weight-lifter's headache, etc.)

What is Primary Exertion Headache?
Some headaches only occur with exertion, particularly with activities that involve tensing the abdominal muscles or increasing the pressure in the chest, such as straining on the toilet, heavy lifting, coughing, sneezing, or even sexual intercourse. Primary Exertion Headaches headaches begin during or shortly after the provoking activity, and usually last seconds to minutes. With repeated exertion, the intensity may build and become longer in duration.

I'm going to try one more time tomorrow. If I happens again, I'm going to quit the challenge for a week or two and then start over. From what I've read, this is sometimes necessary.

Thanks Mary, I do feel better. Our kids have been in school a couple of weeks now.

Lisa, I'm thankful the accident wasn't any worse than it was. Hopefully this will be a learning experience. My three are all in their early 20's and I still worry about them driving.

Vilma, I invested in a squat rack also. There's no way I can get that heavy of a wt over my head and be safe.

Hi Murph, don't sweat it. We all have days like that.

Hi, a quick fly by here. I did DM ultra cardio premix....OMG, this was a toughie! I'm off to Walmart to do some fun grocery shopping, I was nice and asked my sis(she lives alone) to go although I would prefer to go by myself (she takes forever). I like to go in, run around, get what I need, and get outta there.

Actually, I feel pretty good today. I did some more testing this morning and the then the 40 minute w/o from On the Edge.

I tried to do my PU challenge again but the HA started again at about 15 so I quit before it got too bad. I feel like I need to let the challenge go for a while but I do want to try again

I did the PUs in the w/o on my knuckles and knees and did fine. But then they were tricep PUs too.

Have fun at Walmart Lisa. That was nice of you to ask your sister. I'd much rather do my shopping alone also.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It's kind of cloudy here. Not much going on.

Check out my baby turkeys. It's hard to see them in the grass but every time I got close the mom would move them. This is the first time we've had any baby turkeys.

Hey Rhondalyn, I'm back from fun Walmart. It wasn't too bad of a trip after all, was almost fun with my sis. I was in a laid back mood so maybe that's why it worked out ok.

Why do you have turkeys? Do you have an area (and land) for animals?

I had a slight HA from the exertion at the beginning of DM and thought, oh no, but then I guess I acclimated because it didn't get worse after I got going a bit more. Make sure you're drinking, I'm sure you are. Take care!

Hi everyone, friday again!! We have a busy weekend planned, a graduation party, and a shift party for my husband. He is a firefighter, once a season we all try to get together, either couples or families. Should be fun. Sun, it is our homecoming parade, which is always fun to watch. Then school starts, Yeah!! Of course I need to geo back to work too! Today I did KPC, it was fun, but it is so humid here I was a sweaty mess! Yesterday was PS legs, my inner thighs are talking to me today. Lisa, glad to hear Walmart went well, I do love to shop alone, too. It is theraputic. (I spelled that all wrong!) Rhondalyn, turkey's? Wow, where do you live? Do you have other animals too? All we have is a dog, and she is a spoiled princess. I'm glad you figured out your HA's. Hello to all and have a good day. Mary

Hi girls,

I haven't done my w/o yet but I'm going down to get on the rower in just a bit. I'll be out of town this weekend unless plans change and wanted to post real quick.

I put up some pics of some of our critters on my Cathespace. We have more but I didn't think you'd want to see them all. We have a few acres to keep them on.

Check out my cool pic. I yearbooked myself from my avatar pic. The year is 1960. You should try it. I've had a lot of fun with it.

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just completed 4DS HIS/Chest/Back. I just love those power boxer moves that are in between the step combos at the end. They are so simple yet so much fun.

Mary, Your weekend does sound busy and fun! Our kids went back to school this past week. I'm such a scheduled type of person that I'm soooo happy they are back and everything is on a schedule again.

Rhondalyn, Sounds like your animals may keep you busy, I'm sure we'd love to see them in your albumn. I'm still drooling over your gym though! That yearbookyourself is too funny. I'd have a hard time finding a pic of myself to use as I don't like my pic taken --- Mom was the same way, it must be an inherited trait.

Have a great weekend you two and to all who follow.....

Hi eveyone,

Glad to hear everyone is feeling better. I could not get to the computer yesterday but I was able to get a workout in. I did legs and am feeling it today. I was out late with the family last night and could not get the kids to go to sleep. I could not get up this morning to do my workout but hopefully I can get something in tonight.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hello to all. It's Saturday. I got in iTread 7-60 min. Tommorrow in order to get DH to exercise I decided to try some yoga (I'm not a yoga person at all, no flexibility). I'm going to try one of them off of exercise tv. Knowing my luck I'll get addicted to that too and then have to buy some yoga dvds.

Murphy, hope you managed to get in your workout, it's tough when you don't sleep well.

Rhondalyn, enjoy your time away this weekend.
