40s - 1/15/12 week

Hi everyone

Jody - I've never even noticed the music. It's funny isn't it how sometimes it jumps out at you and other times it's just background.

Lisa - sorry about Yoshi, doesn't sound too great. Enjoy being busy!

Mary - I would think War Horse would be OK for your 13 yr old. Here it's 12A which means anyone over 12 accompanied by an adult. I did wonder about letting my DD (nearly 11) see it. Obviously it's set in wartime, so it is scary and there's fighting. But there's no blood and you don't see people dying close-up. It is very emotional though - I'm sure my DD would be in floods of tears by the end (though that's not necessarily a bad thing!). Hope that helps! It's based on kid's book originally.

Roxie - wow that new KCM sounds good. No way I can buy anything new for a while though!

Had a meeting today then did YM when I got back. I know a lot of you have been a bit annoyed by the downward dogs. Compared to a full yoga session there aren't that many. It's really an active resting pose in yoga so is used a lot. (Lecture over!)
Off to the cinema again tonight to see The Artist.
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me will be KCM TLC #2 Conditioning Drills. I haven't done this one yet so we shall see how it goes. My shoulders are still hurting today.

Ronne-enjoy the movie. I guess we just need to get use to downward dogs.
 
I admit, I'm lazy, I slept in and didn't have time to w/o before I sat at the computer to pretend to work. I am at home today so feeling like a bum since I could workout but knowing my luck someone would want someone at work right when I was feeling the burn. Taking Yoshi to the vet today, probably won't have any answers since they will probably do bloodwork.

Ronne, guess my sarcasm didn't come through the writing...not much work at all. Most people say at least you are getting paid, but I think work provides more than money and there are so many more productive things I could be doing, it's just a bit depressing for me. I am going tonight to Godiva chocolate and using a $10 reward, yum, not sure how I'm justifying it since I didn't work out :D

Roxie, so the morning workouts aren't working out so well? At least you still do them at night vs me just blowing them off (hmmm, maybe Ronne is rubbing off on me?) lol

Mary, Yes we are hoping this job prospect comes through for DH. It would go a long way to making me a bit happier as I could then cut back on my boring work time. I've made arrangements with DS22 and DIL to borrow their dog during the week to take on hikes when the weather gets better. I told them if the dog gets dusty from the trail then they have to bath it, not me, that's the joys of being a grand, right?

Jody, I don't care for that music either (actually the w/o isn't that great to me either). How is it easier to track in km? are you moving out of the country soon ;)

Murphy, are you out there?
 
Hi girls! Quick check in, did the TM, darn thing kept resetting itself, have no idea how far! I was annoyed! Lisa, how did the vet go? You must have needed a day off! Ronne, I hear that movie is supposed to be really good! Roxie, I think you that you need the sleep! Do you get home in the early afternoon? Jody, hope your day wasn't too bad! Murphy, hello! Off to basketball! This work thing really takes up a lot of time! Mary
 
Mary-I don't get off work until 5:00 p.m and by the time I get home and get supper done and my workout its usually 7 or after before I get to sit down.
 
Vet saw possible giardia in stool, don't know where she could have picked that up from since all she does is sleep all day in the bed but said that her older weakened immune system could have been stressed (and I am now reading that cats can have for years and not show symptoms until their immune system become compromised from age). He said she looked better than he thought she would given her age and kidneys (that must be because she eats well). Hope the medicine takes care of it, if it doesn't then may be an abdominal tumor which will require ultrasound.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did KCM TLC #2 Conditioning it was a good workout and it had abs at the end so I didn't need to add on and then I did 1.33 miles on the TM. Need to burn some of these extra pounds.
 
Hello

Lisa - sorry, a bit slow off the mark!! Hope Yoshi starts to recover with new treatment.
You're cheeky!! ;)

Mary - I bet you're wondering how you ever managed to fit work in, now you're back.

Hi Roxie and Jody!

Did Trisets UB. Listened out for the music deliberately this time. I see what you mean, it's pretty awful. I can just ignore it though. I need good audio for cardio work but it doesn't bother me so much for weights.
Really enjoyed the film last night. You should see it if you get a chance. It's realy enjoyable.
We're actually staying in tonight and doing nothing!!
 
Good Morning,

I woke up in a bad mood DH wouldn't get out of bed and this was one morning where I really needed to get up and get my workout done I have things to do before Saturdays family get together. I need to make chex mix and do something with red potatoes. I hate my job need to look for another one.
 
Hey everyone! Well, bad sleep again, grrrr, slept in a bit, but instead of blowing off my w/o I got at least TF 20 min HIIT in!

Roxie, are we following the same path? No sleep, weight gain, and now job haters? lol

Mary, DH has interview today, fingers crossed!

Ronne, I actually have something to look into today (no sarcasm this time ;) ). I personally find it difficult fitting everything in and I don't have smallish kids, just furry ones now :)
 
So, one other thing. The big news here is that Trader Joe's is coming to CO. Now is that a good store or is it over hyped like IKEA was?

Also, I bought some Gloria Vanderbilt 'The Perfect Fit' jeans. I had some I stumbled onto in Kohls yrs ago and never could find them again. Found them at Sears.com, got 3, one in each color (wish they had black). They were 34.99, got them, went to the website thinking of ordering more and saw they are now down to 21.99 (I think only for a couple more days). Got a credit for the difference and still pondering on if I want more or not.....I need to restrain myself! I just love the way these jeans fit me! And today someone told me that I looked really skinny in them!
 
Hi girls! Another quick hello! (work, again!) Did a leg w/o from meso 2, trisets, had to go light, I'm not supposed to be lifting anything, but I didi. Don't tell! Lisa, love Trader Joe's! They have a lot of interesting things. How did the interview go? Roxie, are you in a better mood? Ronne, hope you 2 enjoyed the quiet! Hi to Jody and Murphy. I have to go to basketball, again! Talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Good Evening,

My mood has improved a little but I am still upset because I didn't get up. I did get my workout in I can cook tomarrow night just need to get up in the morning. I did KCM Split Sessions Upper Body.
 
Hello

Roxie - it's not great when your day gets off to a bad start. At least you got your workout in.

Mary - naughty girl! Slapped wrist for you!! Take it easy ...

Lisa - there are a few things in my wardrobe that I wished I'd bought more than one of. I've got a favourite pair of black skinny jeans that are looking a bit tired and I just want to get the same ones again!

Hi to Murphy and Jody if you're lurking.

Did S&G all the way through again. I'm warming to it the more I do it. It's probably my least favourite of the new series, though. I have to say that I think this series is her best one so far. I do really like it and what it does for me! It's done particularly good things for my core.
Can't believe it's Friday again - although this week has gone really slowly. DD's back at lunchtime tomorrow. Can't wait to see her!!
Have a good weekend, everyone!
 
Good Morning,

I got up this morning and got my workout done KCM Step Boxing #2 and this one wasn't as hard at the first one but it is still going to take practice. Tonite I will be busy chopping veggies for a veggie tray and making chex mix then trying to come up with a sauce for red potatoes.

Ronne-have fun with DD.
 
Slept good! But DH didn't :( I did a quick workout though, 4DS LB weights only. Whew, it was tough, I feel out of shape for some reason!

Mary, DH interview went well, he has a second today, then I'm not sure if there is one more after that or not. We feel like it's just formality as he knows the hiring mgr from working with him a decade ago. It's a bit scary, sure there is no job security in his company, but at least you know what to expect and how things work. After 33 yrs you can get complacent. You be careful with the lifting (I'm sure you are). How has your first week back at work gone?

Roxie, woo hoo! you got your w/o in, good on you! I need to do something to lose these couple of pounds. Was think you and I should have a contest but I'm afraid you would win! I did told twice yesterday that I looked skinny (one of the people hadn't seen me for over 6 mths and I have lost 10 lbs since then). I need to use this as motivation!

Ronne, I bet you are happy DD is coming home! I'm sure she will have lots of stories for you!

Jody and Murphy, where are you 2?
 
Hi Girls, I'm lurking more than posting since I've missed a couple of workouts. It all started w/ Busy Wed--> met a couple of besties around 9p at a little restaurant w/ outdoor seating to see a burlesque show, that turned into a late night and I've been dragging a** ever since.

Ronne, thanks for the feed on the LIS. I'm not eager to do any of the yoga dvds, but more willing to reserve judgement once you shared a somewhat dissenting opinion. Really, her best series yet? Now both you and Murphy have talked about having LIS results you liked. Hmmm.

Supposed to do cardio ss and also ... high maintenance? reps? to catch up. I've not done either, but CSS looked pretty good. (I've done the step bonus part.)

Lisa, good luck on dh and job. Nothing is sure. Gotta keep looking for the cheese. They like to move it. Also, I would buy a hundred of anything that made me look skinny. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any Invisibility Cloaks lately.

Roxie, good luck w/ the chex mix. You sound like you are feeling stressed out.

Mary-Mary-Mary-Mary-Mary, just be careful and don't forget to listen to your body. Nuff said.

Waving to MIA Murphy
 
Jody-you have no idea how stressed out. After I left work this morning to do some deliveries the boss man told my co worker that while he was on vacation (my coworker is going on vacation in two weeks) that boss and his wife are going to be making some decisions regarding the two of us and the business so I have no idea what is going to happen, and then I messed up one medicare number so the boss lady is slamming doors and huffing around like she never makes a mistake. Sorry to vent but I am terribly upset. Hope you have a good weekend.

Lisa-I would take you up on that challenge and don't be so sure I would win.
 
Happy Friday! Work week done! Haven't worked out yet, probably just TM. Legs are sore, only used 8 lb DB? I told you I went light! Roxie, I'm sorry about work. They sound very manipulative. Enjoy your family this weekend. Let us know about the potatoes! Lisa, how is the cat? Good luck for th job too! Is it something he wants to do? Jody, any speeches yet? Ronne, enjoy your daughter! Probably take a few days to hear. All the stories! We just traded in my heavy bag for a....spin bike! DH is excited to try it! Talk to you all tomorrow! Mary
 
Hey Roxie,

All you can do is keep your side of the street clean and be as communicative and pro active as possible. Maybe let them know you'd like to know what is going on and remind them that you want to keep working there-and help make the biz successful. : )

Just a thought, but don't take too much employment advice from me since I am hardly gainfully employed right now. (Tho I did do a private tutor session today which pd twice what my regular job pays, yea!)
