40's+ December -last mth of 2013!

Hi yall,
I did the S and most of the P of SJP and then most of a KCM Body Shop 2. I'm going to get a work out in first thing tomorrow.

Mary, yes, it measures sleep, steps, calories, all that. I've heard of people who obsess over steps, etc. I would likely do the same thing, too. Are the kids out for holiday soon? My final is Tues.

Roxie, the lower rate of pay but local and less gas may work out. Or could you negotiate more per hour?

Ronne, yes we do have mosquitoes sometimes. I camped in the Everglades once, they were thick all day all the time but generally they aren't an issue. Probably b/c they spray sometimes. : (

Lisa, crocs are less common than gators. But I can imagine you walking on water to get out of there!

Hi Murphs!
 
Hi Ladies

Jody - Body Shop is one I don't have. What do you think? I hate mosquitoes because they love me. I couldn't live anywhere that had them.

Mary - I've never heard of her. Well, I do like to be organised but also I meet up with friends before Christmas and we hand over the pressies for each other and our children so I have to have everything ready for that. I'm out with one friend on Thurs this week and another the next day. I also have family overseas and have to get stuff to them.

Roxie - take a rest if you need it. Working out with a cold is no fun.

Do you think Lisa's been smothered by dogs?! :p

Probably won't get a workout in today. I'm off to the hairdresser's. I really need it! I was supposed to go last week but had to postpone it because of work.
Weekend is going to be busy, food shopping, ski wear shopping (!) and general organisational stuff!
 
Ronne, I liked Body Shop but will have to do it a few more times to say more.

I did AOLIH premix w/ abs. 40 min of respectable movement and sweat. Roxie's got me thinking, so I checked after some of the intervals and I think my very max hr was 170. I wonder if that fit bit thing is also hr monitor? Anyway, take care Roxie.
 
Good morning! Today did BC, hadn't done that one in a long time! Ronne, have fun this weekend! Enjoy the beauty shop, I get to go on Monday! When do you go to Poland? Jody, yay for the final! My kids still have 2 more weeks of school, they are starting to countdown! Will you be working a lot over break? Lisa, where are you? You aren't frozen somewhere are you? The snow arrived last night, the real cold will arrive tomorrow! Did you get a lot of snow? Roxie, what have you decided? How are you feeling? Hi Murphy! Tomorrow little one has basketball game, I have a wedding shower, our friends kids are now getting married!? How is this happening?? Time is flying by! Also DD, that stinker, joined pep band for basketball, so I get to go to the high school games also. Have a good Friday! Mary
 
DH got home last night so I'm free of puppy duty so I was able to get a w/o in, did LIC cardio only.

Ronne, funny, I'm either puppy smothered or frozen like Mary said. It's colder here than in alaska! My puppy wasn't with me yesterday (had to drop her at vet to get spayed...we go pick her up shortly). I've been breaking most of the rules with my DS21 dog. I needed a break and didn't want to hear it whine in the crate and it's such a snuggle dog (mine don't snuggle and I knew that bread wouldn't ), so I took him into bed with me each day for a 2 hr nap, man he warms up the bed nicely and it's so nice to have a dog that snuggles (when he's big he will be 70 lbs of snuggle love). Not sure I'll tell DS I did that. :) We get mosquitos here too, mostly summer (and they love me) I don't know of areas that don't get mosquitos? Mary's area has chiggers, right Mary? They loved me too when I was young and visited family in WV and Ohio.

Roxie, I have to admit I don't know how to iron a shirt! Is the lady in good health and just wants a break? My FIL had parkinson's, he would get really frustrated with it. We had him live with us for 4 mth and was supposed to go to each kids (of course no one took care of him as long as we did), then he wanted to come back and live with us but would not give us power of attorney or anything (DH isn't first born, Japanese tradition is to give to First born), then when he wanted something he wanted it right then, we had 2 young kids and 2 jobs, DH said NO he can't come back to live with us. So he ended up in an assisted living, we had no say in ANYTHING because legally we couldn't unless we petitioned. I'm sad with the way the first born 'took care of things'.

Jody, I had a fitbit (1st gen) for awhile, then it cracked, I took it back. my phone can track steps, it gets old tracking it all. Hey, but guess what, I've been eating well, lost 2 lbs!

Just looked at clock, gotta get going to get my puppy, she has to wear the cone of shame :)
 
Good Morning,

I did Flex Train Timesaver #1 and man was it tough those cross back leg with overhead press I am going to have to modify she does them to fast so my form is horrible. In this workout she really fries the shoulders and I sat out a round of tricep dips and pushups.

Mary-I don't know if I have the job waiting on them to notify me and the other boss won't answer my phone calls or text so that isn't starting out so good.

Jody-no negotiating for more pay. HR was 177 max today but I did take some breaks to catch my breath.

Lisa-the wife has macular degeneration and has a tough time taking care of him he sometimes gets petulant and doesn't want to do anything. Where they live is like and assisted living place but they have their own duplex. There are four other girls that take care of him because its around the clock care.

Ronne-I am feeling a little better then yesterday.
 
Did XTrain bi and tri workout w/ abs. went a little heavier, probably could have gone heavier. I need to stop being a chicken with the weights and just go for it. I am able to do most things, just not the overhead stuff. I was on my spin bike the other day. no "jumps" but some mild sprints. feeling good. sorry no personals.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I did LLA TS #1 then attempted PRS #1 and I have to say it sucks as bad as I thought it would. I watched it everyday this week and thought I had it down but I should have went with another step workout it was way to confusing I spent half my time watching and trying not to kill myself on the step. I return to my old job Monday.

Mary-have a nice weekend.
 
No w/o, taking care of Suki (my puppy) after her spaying, have to keep her quiet so I stay by her side because otherwise she would jump down off the couch or something. We have some 'puppy valiuum' that helps keep her quiet especially when she hears the other dogs playing. I do have to say my neck feels better when I don't do as much working out.

Roxie, PRS1 is very complicated footwork, I still will use it and just not beat myself up about not getting it perfect (getting good at that). Oh and on FT, I don't go down to the floor, I go down to the high step that is set with 3 risers. Same with burpees, etc.

Murphy, be careful, not sure of the 'why' behind not being able to lift overhead, just take it from me, better to take it slowly.

Mary, are you working again this weekend? Is it icy there?

Ronne, ski wear shopping? Now THAT is expensive! Hope you found a good deal!
 
Murphy, just glad to hear from you, glad you are feeling well.

Lisa, keep eating healthy, workouts will work themselves out. Hugs to Suki.

Ronne, layers and wool socks. Dry feet very important I think. Envy, I'd love to go.

Mary, and all, my first day as a therapist. It was a nice day, I work at a great facility. Lovely people. Headed back for another 12 tomorrow and then probably nights? I'm grateful and feeling valid.

Roxie, congrats. Job abundance is heading your way. And now you get to see gs more. Do those affirmations! Mine for today, I complete my tasks effortlessly and easily. I learn computer quickly!
 
Did part of a rockout knockout premix. the kids were fighting so I took advantage of the break. I think I would like this one if I had full range of motion. the chemo-port is what keeps me from swinging my left arm too fast and over my head. it is just in an awkward spot. plus, sometimes the sports bra strap area feels like it is pushing the port. no pain, just feels funny.

waves and good vibes to all.

Murphy
 
I did LBB, been at least a yr since I've done that one. Let's just say I have room to grow :)

Jody, Yea on your first day as a therapist. Your affirmations are working!

Murphy, oh, that makes sense. I can't get some of my sport bras on, or should I say off just because I can't move left arm right to get them off. The first time I found out, I had to have DH take it off as I just held my arms up over my head. I still don't have full range of motion (I can do it, it's just my neck muscles will hurt a lot later -- amazing what all you use your neck muscles for). I'm still getting good workouts in, and the endorphin rush!

Ronne, they make little disposable foot warmer packets, if it's a cold, cold day, they make all the difference in the boots!

Suki is starting to feel better from her spay.
 
Good Afternoon,

No workout for me today with the freezing rain, snow and cold weather I have a migraine and DH decided to wake me up incredibly early this morning which makes me mad just because he can't sleep doesn't mean I want to get up. I am excited to start work tomarrow which I find really weird considering I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Lisa-thanks for the weather. I am glad to hear suki is feeling better.

Murphy-take it easy and glad to hear from you.

Jody-I am trying to use your affirmations.
 
Good evening! Today did a tabata w/o from Tracy Mallett, was ok! Murphy, glad to see you. I would imagine it would be irritating, bras, purses, seatbelts rubbing against it. Glad that you are feeling good! Jody, happy 2nd day! Are you on med-surg floors? Are you shadowing someone? I bet people will be calling you to pick up all the time! Lisa, glad the puppy is bouncing back so quick! Roxie, I have never tried PRS1, but I'm telling you try 2, it's a lot of fun! Have fun at work tomorrow, will work days be your rest days from working out? Ronne, how was your weekend? Little one had basketball game yesterday, had a wedding shower, then we went out to hibachi restaurant with friends. Today cleaned and did the Christmas decorations, we leave Friday for Vegas, have to get everything in! Have a good night! Mary
 
Hi all

Roxie - good luck on your first day back. Hope it goes well.

Mary - wow, you had a busy weekend. Bet you're really looking forward to Vegas. We go to Poland in mid Feb.

Murphy - that does sound a bit uncomfortable. I like that Bis and Tris one.

Jody - glad to hear your new job is going well. Is that a temp one? Sorry, I've got confused on the details!

Lisa - we went to a local discount supermarket. It was so cheap. We got a jacket and salopettes set for DD for £16, DH got a jacket for £25 and I got some thermals. We also got socks. Hoping to borrow the rest. Thanks for the heating tip!

Weekend was busy. Went into town on Sat, it was so busy! Then we had to do a bit more shopping yesterday while DD was at gym. I keep thinking I've nearly finished and then I remember there's more stuff! Just waiting for two deliveries now and I think I will be done.
Didn't have time to get any workouts in. Did some card writing and wrapping yesterday.
Going to do a LiCH premix today, then I have to take DD for an injection. She's really phobic about it - not looking forward to it!
 
Good morning! Did GG this morning. Ronne, it seems like there is always something else to add to the list! How'd your hair turn out? I get to go today! Lisa, how are you? How is the puppy babysitting going? Is he totatally spoiled? My Wheezy mad me crazy last night, fell out of bed, got a squeaky toy to play with in bed, then was throwing it around and barking at it! Of course, now she is dead asleep! Roxie, hope the first day back went well! Jody, how was the weekend? Good luck on your test tomorrow! I'll say prayers. Hi Murphy! Good day to all! Mary
 
Did PRS2 today. Only one bad sore muscle in my neck from yesterday, just holding a 8 lb wt for lunges/squats made the muscle from neck along top of shoulder sore-ish. I'm trying to pay more attention to what I did day before to see what is affected when I do different things.

Mary, DS21 is staying here with his puppy while he finishes his last finals. Yep, I think we spoiled his dog too much, as DS was doing crate training and the dog kept whining, he's used to people being around all the time now I bet.

Ronne, good deals for you! I'm assuming you will rent skis (or snowboards).

Roxie, glad you are happy for starting back to work, hope all goes well.

Waves to Jody and Murphy!
 
Good Evening,

Good day back at working but crazy the building they are moving to is half the size of the old one so we have a mess. I didn't workout this morning up all night with my headache and DH snoring.

Mary-I want to workout before work but not this morning.

Ronne-thank you it went ok.
 
I know a college professor with a PhD who says "hence why". Frequently. ::Turns off audio recording, opens yummy text book::

Roxie, yea!! Ronne, hopefully not temp but even if I stay on, there can be a lot of slow time off season. I worked w/ a girl who was cancelled from two facilities and had no work for 3 weeks straight over the summer. Lisa, someday you are going to feel bad about how you talked about your favorite big goofy dog you inherited from your ds. Mary how was your hair appt? I go next week. Look how synced we have become. Murphy, RK lowest on my list of interest but it seems to be well liked. PS Ronne I hope dd did well with shot.

I have an exam tomorrow, hence why I should be studying. I need a good night's sleep though, hence why I will be going to bed soon. Hence why this is a difficult decision for me to decide what to do. Hence why I will have a glass of red. I didn't work out today though I should have. Hence why I feel guilty.
