40s Amazing August!

Went a new route (away from the schools---I live right by 3 (elementary, middle, high--- was nice when the kids went to school, now not so much), anyway went 3.5 miles. Then came back and did Cathe Live Cardio and Weights, it was mostly UB. Since I'm enjoying not having sore knots in my shoulder (this last massage really left me feeling good), I decided I"m taking it easy on the weights so only used 5 lbs . My hamstrings are really sore today, there is one exercise called 'evil hamstrings' on the reformer, I haven't ever done it for various reasons, now I know why it's called evil hamstrings :)

Ronne, good job on making up a workout! I would have bagged it.

Jody, double dipping on the workouts when you can?
 
Lisa, yes, double dipping, maybe again today, I did a slow jog/7 songs/Kris Kross'll make u jump, jump this morning. Now off to dr appt gyn annual and then to work (scheduled to work nights but we are probably gonna cancel you can you come in instead for part of the day chaos) place.
Ronne, I liked FT ok for first time through. I'd probably reach for CF or TTM first but we'll see if I increase my affinity.
Water is hot enough for shower. I'll bbl, hi to Mary and Murphy.
 
Hi all

Jody - definitely sounds like a chaotic place!

Lisa - evil hamstrings sounds scary :confused:!

Did some yoga today. Yoga for Pain Relief as I've got all kinds of little aches and pains. Am feeling quite rough actually, sinusy cold thing going on. Work pretty quiet so I might go and have a lie down. I really need to do the garden as it's like a jungle but it keeps threatening to rain so I keep putting it off and waiting to see if it does.
 
Good morning! Sorry never made it round yesterday, time ran away! Yesterday did bike and PT, today did a Cathelive w/o, metabolic circuit? I will probably regret it, but it was fun to jump a little! Jody, holy cow! Hope you are getting enough sleep, it's hard switching shifts around like that. Ronne, hope you feel better quickly. Lisa, do your dogs get excited when they see the leashes come out? Wheezy screams with delight and Boo runs away as fast as she can! Tonight first football game, band is having a parade before, so excited to see them in their uniforms! Have a good day! Mary
 
Did a 3.25 mile walk and a 60 min spinning. I got a HRM (it was on sale and I got cash back bonus for opening a new checking acct--- yea, I;m justifying it). I knew fitbit said I burned less calories than I was! I burned 516 per the HRM. But my walk I burned less via HRM than via Endomondo&fitbit. Oh no, I better not start playing number games!

Mary, the dogs pester me until they get their walk and then when they see the signs I'm getting ready (sunscreen, hat, shoes, etc) they get excited. Suki used to run away when she was a puppy, now I just go to the door with their leashes and they meet me there and sit for them to be put on. Drove me crazy when Suki would run away, don't know how I finally trained her (or maybe she just learned). Have fun at the game!

Jody, FT is my fav, TTM not a fan of, CF ok. Enjoy your dr visit :p I agree, the changing work times is hard.

Ronne, I hope you feel better soon. I dislike gardening and since the kids have been living here, they are in charge of mowing so then I just don't see the other things that need done. I have so much to get back in order after the kids are moved out. Their house is now framed, and the roof trusses up, gosh I soooo wish mid-Nov it will be done.

Gotta run, DH is home and we are off to splurge and have some Sushi!
 
Happy Saturday! Today did Cathe live, mean legs, except for the yoga at the end, did my own stretches. Lisa, how was your sushi? Jody, have you gotten a day off yet? Ronne, how are you feeling? Hi Murphy! Game was good, band was great! They sounded amazing. Have to take kids shopping for shoes and my moms birthday is tomorrow. I go back to work Tuesday, need to organize myself! Have a good day! Mary
 
Mary, that is awesome about the band, is everyone excited about new school year? Will you be at same facility as last year? Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Lisa, you have a lot of monitors and equipment! I can't judge though, I just bought Bodybeast and Circuit Blast/Cardio Kicks and Terminator. I did dl the MFP app, its really nice! But I'm not tracking much lately.

Ronne, my little patio greenery needs some TLC as well. I support you if you choose to nap!

Murphy, did you make it back yet?

I just did a few hours at work yesterday afternoon, I was cancelled for night shift and I am cancelled for tonight. I need to get that fixed. The schedule maker wants me to pick up multiple night shifts but I'd rather not take any now that I have other job where I'm practically working full time days elsewhere. I dont' want to burn bridges either.
I did Gauntlet workout, pretty good!
 
Never made it here yesterday, I have a full house again as DS from KS is here and his GF. I did do a half-hearted version of Cathe Live cardio band blast with weights and walked around the Taste of Colorado.... we have never been and we weren't missing anything all these years :) Today, I walked the dogs 2.5 miles and then did 30 min of spinning, couldn't do more, my legs are tired! I do like the calorie burn I'm getting from spinning (when I put my all into it and not the half hearted attempt I did today!) Maybe after the holiday I can put a good effort to working out, it's hard to do when I get off schedule!

Mary, wow the summer went fast, didn't it!?!

Jody, I knew you would buy Body Beast once it was on sale :) I track food on fitbit, logging it does keep me accountable! I actually got the calories eaten vs burned minus the deficit I want to come out to an even Steven yesterday :)
 
Hello! Today did a squeeze w/o, just the standing. Also, a costco run! Lisa, we have a taste of Cleveland here, it's always been crowded, expensive, and horrible lines to get food. Enjoy everyone being home! Jody, I know it's hard to say no, but don't let yourself get burnt out. Ronne, what fun did you get into? Hi Murphy! Have to get to my moms and we are meeting friends later. Only one more day of freedom! Mary
 
ha ha ha, that is funny that you knew that Lisa! (about BB) The workouts are too long, I don't even know when I'll do them. I never came out even steven with my food, that is why I don't lose wt! Have fun with everyone, hubs home too?

Mary I went to Costco again today, too. No more! I spent so much and that was after I'd put back a bunch of stuff and eyed my cart and decided I was being reasonable. I bought rain boots! Apparently I have no idea what reasonable is when in the throes of costco frenzy. I hope you did better than I.

Ronne, are you feeling better? Murphy, did you come back yet?

I did KCM MU/L2BF, good one!

edit- i should ALWAYS have to balance check book and pay bills prior to shopping. I've got Butiyoga in my cart, labor day sale.....someone talk me out of the madness.

Yesterday i did a 50 min walk and did not buy the Butiyoga, nor did I do Lowmax which I had considered. I might do a KCM today; I went through my KCM dvds and sorted them into types.
Did you guys have some Labor Day fun?
