40s + February: Fitter than ever!

Happy Monday! Saturday did GG, Sunday was SM, today did the first Firm, can't belive I remembered! Ronne, now that sounds like an absolute perfect weekend! Lisa, I bet it is heaven to be alone in the house! Still snow on the ground, 50 yesterday, 16 today! So grateful we aren't in Boston tho, those people are getting pummeled! Roxie, did you get a dress yet? What color are you thinking of? Hello to Jody and Murphy! We had basketball this weekend, finally got their glasses, little one was not happy! For him they are just to see the board, he says now he won't get any girls to like him! Lol! What is he talking about?? Have a good day, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I did KCM Body Shop 1 this morning. Dh and I went for a 3 mile bike ride yesterday the weather was perfect.

Mary-my Ds and I are going shopping in May and the dress has to be some shade of green.
 
I did kcm ybb both workouts, then dog walk and soon to meet gf and do another walk. Mary, lol about DS and girls, I thought the younger generation perceive glassed as stylish! Roxie, my crocuses are Blooming! Ronne, I forget what your post was!
 
Ronne, I'm really enjoying rest days! DH comes back very late Tues. We hope after this splurge of trips travel settles down. Hard since the company is pushing him to climb the ladder and do more.
 
Hello

Mary - that sounds pretty cold! Lisa's right, nerds rule the world now! ;) (I say this as a girl who wore glasses all the way through school.)

Lisa - rest days are a good thing. Make you feel ready to work hard again. It's a shame DH doesn't go anywhere you want to go. Get him to come to the UK and you come with him. :)

Did KCM Weights, everything but legs and added on the abs.
Went to see Selma last night. Really powerful film.
 
Good morning! Today did CCC, WHY???? Ronne, I have worn glasses since I was 9, he was ok when he came back from school, he said a lot of people liked them, so tragedy avoided! I've heard that is a great film. Lisa, can't believe you have flowers blooming! 17 today, supposed to be wicked cold coming up, brrrr! Roxie, are you thinking dark or light green? Hello to Jody and Murphy! Are you two hiding out together somewhere? DD has a job interview today (DS on Thursday) to be a lifeguard for the summer, fingers crossed! Mary
 
Hello there

Mary - that's one I do about once a year! Phew for youngest! Hope the interviews go well.

Messed up day. Was supposed to go to hairdresser's this morning but they rang to cancel, so I was all showered and ready to go. Did yoga as I didn't want to have another shower.
Got a talk about online safety at school tonight. Prepare to be horrified! :eek:
 
Good morning! Today did GS C&T, forgot about all those push ups! Was surprised! Ronne, dang about hair being cancelled! I'm sure that class will be scary! I probably wouldn't let my kids go on line ever again if I went to one of those! Hello to everyone else! Well, DD got the job, hope fully DS will fair as well! Have to get youngest to doctors appointment, good day to all! Mary
 
Hi all! I wore myself out on Monday (more than I did Suki) so was tired Tues, I did only 30 min of pilates, today I did 60 min spinning. On monday I ended up logging 18,000 steps! Mary, seriously how could you forget? I love giving myself permission to skip push ups. I've been over doing things and neck muscles hurt like they've been worked too hard. Your kids sound like they succeed in whatever they put their mind to! Ronne, good plan to not need another shower! :) I colored my hair yesterday, I use a semi permanent paul mitchell so it's easy. Even though it's semi, it still stays in my hair! I only recolored to brighten up the roots (no grey, just duller red color).
 
Hi there

Mary - that's great for DD. Would they be working in the same place? Actually, the talk was really good. More about communicating with your kids and just being aware of what's out there.

Lisa - that sounds like a lot of steps. Watch it with the neck, you're a sensible gal now!

So, my hair appointment got cancelled again. I've got to make another one (this is the third time now, getting a bit frustrated :().
Did X10 Step. The 8lbs at the end are too much for me with the speed and tiredness. It hurt my hand a bit. I'll drop down to 5lbs next time.
I'm really confused, I keep thinking today is Friday, don't know why!
 
I did 4ds LB weigths only, wanted to add on XT BS tri, ended up doing the bi and tri BS. Ronne, I think it was the biceps that did my neck in....the stance I was using to eliminate the neck was causing the muscles at T11 to hurt, so I went back to leaning against a wall and anchoring my elbows to the wall (a bit awkward but what that PT told me to do), I think sometimes I wasn't really anchoring (at least I know what was causing my T11 muscles in spine to hurt). I must remember to anchor elbows into the wall! How irritating to have hair cancelations. I find that 8 lbs in the metabolic workouts are too much for me (and was pushing it even before my neck incident), so I happily use 6 lbs (5 being too little). Off to walk the dog, DH comes home late tonight, I think Suki is missing him as she was laying looking at the garage door about the time he normally comes home at night. Being gone 5 days is soooo much harder than 4 days, even Suki notices :)
 
Hello! Today did RWH, plyo 1, needed something fast, really I meant short! Ronne, is it time for a new hair dresser? I'd be wild! Lisa, take care of that neck! You went through so much! Hello to everyone else! Have to take DS to his interview, both lifeguard, same pool, then to work, pick up DD, get other DS to basketball, good night to all! Mary
 
Hi all. Sorry I have been away for so long. Still having computer issues and it is hard to email at work (the boss never come by until you hop on the Internet for a quick second). I think to do it at night but am so tired that I forget all about it. I have been doing workouts here and there. Still liking my The Firm, but have mixed in some Cathe. I think I may mix in some more Cathe weight dvd's - trying to get a jump on summer. I am half-way to my weight loss goals so I really need to stay focused. I just joined a clean eating challenge with some friends so hopefully that will help me with my goals. Wish me luck.

Waves to all.

Good Evening,

Sorry I haven't checked in working alot of hours this week and have been really tired. I went with DH to the doctor yesterday morning for his 5 year check up never can get him to go then went to work. I haven't done alot of workouts to tired but back on a normal schedule tomorrow so hope to get back at it. I am starting a progesterone cream tonite my boss thought would help so we shall see.

Murphy-good luck.

Lisa-take care.

Mary-your kids are awesome.
 
Hi ladies, today just XT CBS, muscles in UB sore (ok, DOMS but I really don't like this much of a DOM feeling :) . ). I also think because I'm scheduled for a massage, massage lady says I"ll always have accumulation (From doing everyday stuff) that needs worked out, that's where I am, I see her Tues. I think I"ll do thee massages every 4 weeks, 5 weeks is too long.

Murphy, good job on the wt loss!

Roxie, My DH runs to the dr more than I would! Not your typical guy I guess :) He is making a concerted effort to take care of himself...he had oatmeal on the biz trip and everyone made fun of him.

Mary, did DS get the job too? Will you have to drive them to work?

Ronne, how's the hair?
 
Hello! Today did GS legs, yesterday was GS BSB. Lisa, you and DH together again? It is hard when they are gone so much. Ronne, did you get to get your hair done yet? Murphy, congrats on the weight loss! Roxie, hope you are feeling better. Jody, do you ever get a day off? I will have 2 employed kids this summer! Perfect job for them, 5 minutes away, outside, it will be great for them! Today they said light flurries, I can't even see 3 feet in front of me, I'm so annoyed! Does anyone watch Parenthood? Monica Potter, the mom of the autistic boy on the show, is opening a home store here, it's an hour away and we were going to go to the grand opening today. Maybe it will stop? Or slow down? Mary
 
I did prs1, loved it, fun, what I needed! Roxie, that's studiosweat is fun but hard! Mary, together, hopefully for a while. Manager had to fly out to LA to handle an employee (contractor) problem. This person got drunk and when hotel mgmt told them to go to the room they walked outside and peed in front of them? Seriously? Wth, 2 contractors fired and 1 quit. I do not miss the biz world. Yippee for upper kids, boo on snow we get some on Monday
 
Hi all. Did Cardio Super Sets today. It wasn't as fun as I remembered. Maybe I am think of something else. ??? Anyone, I am happy I got it in. I slept in a bit today and was worried my assistants would interrupt me. They did but thankfully I was far enough along that it did not matter too much.

Roxie - how did the cream work out for you?
Lisa - that is crazy. I wonder what will happen in the end.
