40's+ December -last mth of 2013!

Hi everyone

Jody - so are you doing what you've been training to do? Good luck with the exam. That professor would drive me nuts as well! Unfortunately, trip to nurse was not a success. She didn't have it. It was horrible.

Roxie - are you doing three consecutive days or are they broken up through the week?

Lisa - yes, we're going to rent the stuff. We're only skiing for 3 days. DD found out she got on to the school ski trip in 2015 (!) so at least we know she'll wear her stuff again as long as she doesn't grow too much!

Mary - yeah, I'm pleased with my hair. I don't know if you find the same but my hair grows wide as well as long!

Had a nice evening last night. I met up with some mums from DD's primary school. We all cooked a dish and met at someone's house. It was really nice to catch up with people, and there was some delicious food!
Did Xtrain CBS, dropped the weight down a bit and subbed a back exercise. See how my back feels tomorrow!
Work quiet today so I've been indulging myself in looking at workouts on Youtube!
 
Good morning! Today did CCC, must be punishment for something! Roxie, I bet they are so glad to have you back! Was the drive too terrible? Sometimes it can be relaxing, sometimes! Jody, hahahah! Hence why, I don't know if I could make it to that class! Good luck on your test, I'm sure you will ace it! Lisa, how you feeling? You know that dog is going to be yours, right? Ronne, wide hair is why I always have to tie mine down, or I would look like a bush! Sorry about DD, something's they never grow out of! Hi Murphy! Thinking of you. Well, lunch with friend, get to get my glasses, my dads birthday, bball practice and game! Have a good day! Mary
 
Did Ride today, standing portions done at 1/2 cadence. I feel I've turned another corner in my recovery (maybe those rest days watching puppies is what I needed).

Jody, hence, when you put it like that, hence it would be irritating!

Mary, you are always doing something! I don't think the puppy will become ours, DS got a bit upset when DH disciplined him telling to get down, DS said, he's my dog, I"ll get him down. pfffft, funny DH is still taking the dog outside sometimes. Supposed to get above freezing today, woot!

Ronne, oh no, no shot? It must have been really bad for poor DD.

Roxie, sounds like they needed you back, hope your headache is better.

Murphy, hope the workouts are going well for you.

Laters...
 
Good Evening,

I worked again today got more stuff moved still a long way to go. They want me to get home before dark so I had enough time before supper to do Great Glutes TS #1 but skipped the ball work I got a cramp in my side but my legs are shaking. I slept like a baby last night and didn't want to get up this morning and I am going to have to stop that.

Ronne-this week I am working everyday but Wednesday to help them get things moved then I don't know whats going to happen.

Lisa-I agree with the others he will be yours we got stuck with DD's dog because of her BF and I was sorry she had to find a new home for him but thats the way it goes sometimes.

Mary-I think they are relieved. The drive wasn't to bad even with snow on the roads it gives me time to think and like you said relax.

Jody-love the hence.
 
Hi all

Roxie - glad it's going well. It's good to sleep!

Lisa - so pleased to hear that you are feeling like you're making progress. That must be such a relief. You've been through so much over the last few months. DD had a complete meltdown. She's really developed a phobia about needles. We'll just have to leave it for now and hope she grows out of it. She wasn't like this when she was younger.

Mary - hope you had a nice lunch. Well done on conquering CCC!

Did Michelle Dozois Cardio Interval Burn. Started out unsure how much I would do but completed the lot!!
Was planning to do some cleaning this afternoon but some work has just landed in my inbox so all of a sudden I've got stuff to do. Think I prefer that to cleaning the toilet!
 
Ronne, last time I did shots with kids, BOTH passed out and older dd looked like she was having a seizure. Good job on work. I was looking at my collections this morning. If you want to borrow try out STS for 6 -12 months pm me and I will ship it. It isn't going to be on my radar anytime soon but I think I will use it again but with modifications. I can't imagine ever doing a 55 min workout for 2 bodyparts.

Roxie, you sound happy to be working, I am happy for you and me too. I'm using the affirmations daily.

Lisa and Mary, I made an A on the test, class and received full credit on an article review, probably the only person to score an "A" trifecta, hence why I tolerate the situation. lols

Murphy is probably out out-workouting me.
 
Did FT, stayed with 2& 3 lb for shoulders, 5 for everything else, hope i didn't aggravate anything too much. I can tell how much weaker everything on my left side is. I have noticed the funny feeling in my shoulder is better and hopefully my tricep (2 areas that had nerves impinged), hoping the next to get better will be the neck muscles!

Ronne, yes it has been quite an ordeal, and I didn't wait to get help, imagine had I waited how much weaker I would be. I bet work pays better than toilets too!

Jody, yippee!!!! I'm sure you will have much success in your job given what a dedicated student you've been.

Mary, is it cold and snowy for you? Roxie, snow has passed for you? Wow this was a COLD air mass!

gotta run....
 
Hi everyone! Today did CTX UB, I think I had only done it once before, it was long! I was clock watching! Jody, congrats! You should be so impressed with yourself! I am! Hence, the excitement! Lisa, how often do you get the massages? I'm sure that helps quite a bit also. It's 18 here today! Yikes! Not much snow tho. Roxie, are you off today? Is it hard getting back in the work routine? Have you heard from that elderly couple? Ronne, I think even I would rather work than clean the toilet! Tho I did do that today! I know as I mature, I get scared about stuff, like elevators are not my favorite! Especially if they make any weird noises I get a little panicky! Hi Murphy! The dryer just called my name, have a good evening! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I am having a lazy day due to it being 28 degrees.

Mary-Wednesday is my one day I won't work its DH's day off. No I haven't heard from the elderly couple and I am getting back into the work routine but I won't know until next week exactly what my schedule will be.
 
Hi all

Roxie - hope you enjoyed your lazy day!

Mary - yes, I've got a bit funny about heights. Never used to bother me at all. CTX UB used to be one of your favourites, didn't it Lisa?

Lisa - are you job hunting at all? Or leaving it for a bit?

Jody - that is such a kind offer! Thank you! Mega congrats as well! Top of the class! :)

Did CB. Subbed a couple of exercises I wasn't keen on. See how I feel tomorrow. My ankles hurt a bit this morning, I think it must be time for new trainers.
Not too cold here. No snow on the horizon, hurray!
Out tonight with BF, we're having our Christmas do and swapping presents. Looking forward to it.
 
Good morning! Today did LLA with the bonus barre. Ronne, have fun with your friend tonite. I'll send some of our cold your way! It was 9 this morning! Roxie, hope you enjoyed your day off, hope the rest of your work week flys by! Lisa, how are you feeling after FT? Jody, you are on winter break! Anything fun planned? Hi Murphy! Well, we are off to Vegas in the morning. I'll see you all on Wednesday! Hope everyone has a good week, I'll just be walking for my workouts! Talk to you all later! Mary
 
Did HS plus conditioning this morning. Subbed a lot :) Realized I'm reaching more for the newer w/o's, I think because they are more lighter weights (circuit,etc), so I think maybe for the LI series I may do them in their entirety to try to work the UB some but not too much for my neck.

Ronne, I'm leaving it to chance. If something rolls around, sometimes after the new year they add back some of the contractors they've let go. Seems if an executive isn't making their numbers for a bonus they cut the contractors to make the numbers then hire them back. will see. I'm subbing more and more and I don't feel guilty! Yes, CTX UB used to be one of my favorites (but then UB was always my favorite....boo hoo and now I can hardly work it)

Mary, have fun in Vegas (won't be as cold :) ) I'm sure you'll get plenty of walking in. The only thing that hurt yesterday was where the neck meets skull, will have to ask massage lady about what would cause that (could be just looking up like when spinnning, but I tried to keep the neck neutral, or maybe the crunches? By this morning it was ok, my head just needed to rest.

Waves to everyone else, these puppies keep me on my toes!
 
Lisa, My neck meets the skull area hurts after step I think. Keep up the great work and please protect your recovery! Is it icy where you walk the dogs? My OH aunt just slipped and fell on her steps. : (

Mary, have fun!! I hope you win some money, too! I'm planning on getting acclimated at work and getting two papers written over break. Hopefully I'll get on the schedule at work.

Roxie, Lazy/Cozy sounds nice but have to admit I prefer 80s and sunbathing- not me so much but dd was on patio in bikini yesterday. I just enjoy returning to parked car that is normal hot after sitting in sun not broiling.

Ronne, enjoy the exchange. I got together with my dancers the other night- it turned into gifts and dress up. I was thinking more yoga clothes and potato chips so I was unprepared!

Waves to Murphy

oh wait, I did a w/o yest and today. Yesterday was KCM bodyshop again. I worked hard but still not sure what area it fulfills in my regimen. Then I spent day at mom's (shopping for clothes for her since she has lost a lot of wt) and me doing laundry cuz my machine is malfunctioning. It is a toploader HE and I've never been very happy with it's cleaning ability but now it has electronic issues.
Today was a Body Blast day. I did SB 45 min premix and PP Pull 15 premix for an hour of workout. I'm working on a Cathe 30 minutes premixes ideas tomorrow might be a KB and legs and next a short cardio and PP Push pm.

PS Roxie, I read the PRS1 thread today, I just realized it was your thread. Before this I thought it said, Number 1 Fan, not "not a fan". lol.

Good Evening,

I wasn't up to FT so I did KCM's KBXing #1. I need to get caught up on workouts for the week but I have a busy weekend.

Jody-I am jealous of your DD I want warm temps again.
 
Hi everyone

Quick post! No workout for me today. I'm having my birthday present with a friend. She bought me a spa voucher, we're both going for a facial and a massage. Just what I need after last night. I'm a bit croaky and tired this morning, it was a really good night!
Getting the tree tomorrow. It's going to be a busy weekend!

Roxie - what are you up to this weekend?

Jody - jealous too, that sounds lovely! It's very mild here - I saw a bumblebee yesterday which is really unusual! Sounds like a good workout plan.

Lisa - the LI series should be better for you shouldn't it?

Mary - what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?!!

Hi Murphy if you're lurking, hope all's well with you.
 
I did TBT LB JFO today, wow, as much a cardio w/o as legs. I used 8 lbs (yes, 1/2 of normal) for the lunges, squats, deadlifts, hopefully not too much pain in that neck muscle later. I do have a massage in a bit.

Jody, I'd love to live in FL Dec-Feb :) Oh, was nice yesterday and most of snow gone so DH and I took the dogs for a little walk (1.5 miles), some icy patches in shade, I'm very, very careful! Good thing about CO is normally it snows and is gone pretty quickly and ice doesn't stay around.

Ronne, what a party girl you are!

Roxie, I'm dreaming of a lazy/cozy day tomorrow, getting a dry cold front in this afternoon.

Waves to Mary in Vegas and Murphy MIA :)
 
Hi all,
Continuing in my BB - I did a KPC and LG pm (KB drills and standing legs) plus the abs which were 6 min of pretty darn effective feeling.

I'm going to price new washer, not sure if it is worth it to repair this one.
 
Did an X10 today. The low impact workout. It was good and very quick to me. This X10 series should work well for me during my treatment. The longer workouts are not working out so well right now so I am sticking to premixes and shorter dvd's. Has anyone tried the step one? I have step issues and have shied away from it.

Ronne - Happy (late) Birthday.
Mary - bring me back some money. ;-)
Waves and well wishes to all.

Murphy
 
Good Evening,

I did LLA Timesaver #2 and FT Timesaver #3 and I am feeling it. Today we celebrated the devil child nephews 5th birthday then helped youngest DD decorate her tree and take stuff to storage then spent time witb GS.
 
Hello

Roxie - sounds like a nice day.

Murphy - glad to hear you've found some workouts that work for you.

Jody - we replaced our washing machine last year. The repairman reckoned that it would cost more to repair than replace. Washing machines aren't that expensive here.

Lisa - good workout choice!

Had a busy weekend. Really enjoyed day out with friend on Friday. Had a lovely facial and used two different massage machines. Felt so relaxed.
Then had family to stay over the weekend and we invited friends round for dinner on Sat night. So Sat was a hectic day of cleaning and cooking. And we also bought the tree and got that up and decorated!
Did very little yesterday, not surprising!
Did AT this morning. Got through the tough bit, did everything apart from the push-ups. Took a break and stretched my back out instead!
