40 & over checkin - week of 9/28

[Ronne]

Hi all

Not been at the computer much this week.

Lisa - sorry to hear about your DH. I hope that something turns up soon for him.

I'm in week 3 of my rotation - the week when I always get a bit bored with what I'm doing! Happens every time! Doing either cardio or legs today and can't make my mind up.

Must get back to work - apologies for the lack of personals.

Hi All,

I have not been around much this week b/c it has been a crappy work out week. I am not getting much done but I am doing well w/ the eating. I hope to be able to do the October rotation, it looks good.

Lisa so sorry to hear about dh's job situation.

Sorry I can't do much personals for today as I got up late after spending all night with the youngest who is home sick from school today.
Seems the minute school started someone here has been sick in one form or another.

I need to get my workout in before it gets any later.

Hi all! Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about the job situation. I hope everything works out for you guys. Sometimes it sucks being a grownup. Vilma, sorry to hear about the illness, I hope that you don't catch it! Hi Murphy, Ronne, this seems to be a busy week for all! Kathryn, where do you live that it is so hard to get gas? I filled up this week, I found a decent price (relatively speaking) I was happy to pay 3.38 a gallon, (never thought I would say that?) You guys all seem to love your KB's! I can't make the investment! It does look like fun tho! HI to Andrea and Rhondalyn! Yesterday I did KM, my arms and back are sore from it, it was fun. Today S&H Legs and shoulders, Have a good day.. Mary

Hi, everybody! I survived Cardio Fusion this morning. Didn't really feel up to it (tired!), but did it anyway. I'm glad I did because I perked up eventually.

Lisa, sorry to hear about your DH. Does he have to find a new position within the company? If so, it may be a bit easier because he's been there so long that he will have lots of contacts and they will know what he can do. (Inside hires always have an advantage!) But if it's a layoff, that is harder. I hope something comes through for him quickly so that you don't have to worry!

Mary, I live in metro Atlanta. We have a terrible gas shortage here and people are waiting in very long lines (more than an hour!) to get gas. I've heard of people going out in the middle of the night to find a station that has gas. I would love to have paid your price for gas -- we're paying well over $4.00 a gallon, if we can find it at all. I've heard that it should get better within a couple of weeks but one tank won't last me that long!

Well, it's an inconvenience but not a disaster.

Vilma, sorry that your child is sick! It's so awful to have a sick child (and risk catching whatever they have, too!) I'm hoping for a quick recovery because I know you've struggled with illness since early September.

Murphy, I wondered what was going on with you lately! Eating well is half the battle (the harder half, I think) so you're making progress! Hang in there!

Speaking of kids and school, I've got to go do pick-up. Have a great day, everybody!

Mary, Kathryn thanks she's doing much better and so far so good for me.

I'm so scared to get sick again so I'm going to continue taking the airborne along with the constant washing and sanitizing everything. My hands are so dry and itchy now but I don't want to be ill again.

As a matter of fact I need to run back out and get some more airborne as I forgot it .

I ended up doing CCPP again this week , better run than this weekend's so I'm happy.

Take Care all, gotta run........

Kathryn - My husband had lots of skills too which have disappeared over the years, Vanished! POOF into thin air! Luckily, he can cook and because he loves food so much he does a fair amount of cooking

LIsa -It must be "the times" My hubby came home yesturday in a very "fed up state" He lost a couple of his bigger clients. So it looks like I'll have to take on much more work.

I can't believe the problems you guys are having getting petrol! Our prices are astronomical, but at this stage we can get it easily enough.

No workout for me yesturday, I was grumpy! And in a hormonally, "I will eat as much chocolate as I possibly can, because because because I need it!" Now, today, I worry about the damage I've done!

Hi everyone,

I didn't w/o today but wanted to drop by to say hi! I've been working all day getting ready for my party tonight. I think I'm ready now.

Lisa, I'm so sorry about your DH.

I hope he finds work soon.

Kathryn, how's your DS? It's good to see you back.

No problems with finding gas around here either but I sure hate paying those prices.

Andrea, some days we do need chocolate.

Good to see you Murph.

Big waves to Ronne, Mary and Vilma!

I'll be back tomorrow.

Hi everyone. Well, here I am, still in shock. I'm still working out though, CF yesterday and GS Legs today. My eating is awful, you know how it is, you want comfort food. I couldn't sleep last night so I thought that bowl of ice cream would make me feel better, so I had some, and I had some more today at lunch.

Was busy today helping DH get his resume together. Yes it is a lay off. Once you are tagged in this company (think big computer company), your days are numbered, but we hope that he will find something even if it is 90% travel. He has great skills (certified IT Architect) and they are stupid for letting him go, it's just typical politics, this company is not the company we started with 25-30 yrs ago. (Yes I used to work there and got laid off 2 yrs ago--I was fine with it though and wanted to leave, his situation is different). He does have a mtg Monday with a potential job opening. Keep yalls fingers crossed, ok?

I can't bring myself to do personals, sorry, I'm just zapped, no sleep and too much worrying and crunching the numbers.

Tonight I go to my boss' Siltapia party....well, I wasn't going to buy anything before and I surely am not now. No, I haven't told her our situation, and I'm hoping I can put on a happy face.

Gotta run, hope sleep comes tonight......

Andrea, we must be in the same place hormonally ... I'm craving chocolate big-time and cleaned out the pantry in hopes of eating better (DH also). I really would feel better with a bag of Hershey's dark chocolate with almonds, though!

Pug, thanks for asking about DS. I gave it some extra time and the cough is subsiding. I'm really glad that I followed your lead and waited because I hate to think what he would have picked up in the doctor's waiting room! I hope your party is a huge success!

Lisa, it sounds like your DH has some serious skills! No matter what else happens in the economy, companies need I/T folks! Let's face it -- computers aren't going away, and neither are the problems that they cause (not without professional intervention, anyway). I hope that his interview goes well and that he finds a job that he loves even more!

By the way, I ordered a couple of items from Fitness by Cathe. It arrived so quickly! Good thing, too, because one item was an anniversary present for my husband. Yes, you can tell we've been married a long time because I gave him weighted gloves as a gift! And to celebrate, we played 18 holes of golf today.

It will be interesting to see how (or if) he survives KPC with those gloves on. They start out feeling pretty light, and by the end of the workout, you can barely lift your arms!

Have a good evening, all!

Hi everyone,

I did Steve Cotter's KB circuit w/o and the firm' s new kickboxing w/o. I can't ever remember the exact name but I do like it.

The party went well. Thanks Kathryn. I'm so glad that your DS is doing better.

Lisa, I'm just so sorry you're having to go through this. I know how stressful it must be. I hope his meeting goes wonderful on Monday. Good grief, don't worry about personals.

 

[scubagirl]

Hi everyone. Lisa, you all will be in my prayers. I hope all goes well on Mon. I'm sorry that you are having to go thru this. Rhondalyn, I never heard of that kind of home party before, what do they sell? I found a KB dvd on sale at Target, watched it, and thought I would kill myself if I tried it. You all impress me even more! Kathryn HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Andrea, I am the world's worst eater, too! One of the main reasons I work out is so I can eat! If I ate clean I might get the body of a goddess, but I would be the crabbiest goddess around! Vilma, hope all is well in the health department. I dread catching another cold again! Today was S&H Bi's and tri's. My arms were shaking from going so slow! Well, I guess that is why they call it slow in the title! Have a good weekend. Mary
