40s Healing in October

Did XT Legs today.

Mary, I think GG is hard, but maybe I should wait and see if today's w/o gives me DOMS

Roxie, how's GS?

Hello's to everyone else, gotta get to the grocery store. I hate grocery shopping!
 
Good Afternoon,

I did Greatest Hits Bonus Circuit it has two of my favorite workouts grouped together. No news on GS he is still in the same hospital and DD hasn't let me know how he is doing today.

Mary-the snow didn't last long more rain then snow.

Lisa-don't know how he is today. Dh and I still think he has the flu and they pushed solid foods to fast but I hope someone comes up with some answers soon.

Murphy-how are you feeling today?

Jody-thank you.
 
Hi all

I'm back! New computer delivered this morning and I'm almost ready to go! At least I'm operational, just need to get old documents across. Quite like the new look.
Had a busy weekend. Spent the day with BF on Sat clothes shopping. It was great just to spend time together. Got loads of great stuff: boots, jeans, dress, jumpers and tops. And I didn't spend a fortune.
Then we all went to her house for dinner and sleepover.
Yesterday I just lazed around and in the evening DH cooked a special birthday eve dinner for me.
So, I'm 47 today. Lucky me! Treating myself to a Jillian Michaels workout and going to pick my reading glasses up!

Roxie - hope you get some news about GS and they can get him on the road to recovery soon.

Lisa - what did you think of FT? It seems to have gone down well.

Jody - well done on the workouts.

Mary - hope the party wasn't a complete washout.

Murphy - good to see you. How are you feeling?
 
Good Morning,

I did Xtrain BS Bis & Tris then 30 minutes on the TM. GS was moved to the childrens hospital yesterday he came down with bronchitis along with his other problem. We are headed to see him this afternoon. I had another spider surprise me in the bathroom this morning but it wasn't as big as the other one.

Ronne-still waiting for that good news.
 
Hello everyone! Today did the first Firm. Roxie, poor little one. I hope he's on the mend. I'm sorry this is happening to him. Murphy, how are you? Ronne, yay to new computer! Sounds like you had fun with friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Have a good day! Lisa, how are you? I see snow is coming this way. Thank you! Jody, I like Tabatacize! Yesterday was rest day, we had DS's family birthday party. Rain stopped on Saturday for tailgate party, just cold and windy. Cross country finished, now basketball starts tomorrow. I thought I would have more of a break. Hope everyone has a good day, Mary
 
Yesterday I did a majorly modified version of X10, hi/lo,cardio blast, and fat burning circuit. Of all of the x10 w/o I think I like FBC best? HArd to tell since I hAVE to modify so much. Today I did Cathe greatest hits minus AS part (not sure this is one I'll use much) and walked dogs 2 miles. It's going to be nice this week.

Ronne, FT was good, one thing I notice in these workouts is she does a lot of OH presses for the heart rate (I can't do those). Still figuring out modifications that work for me. I know I can (and don't want to do) pushups. Triceps overhead I do lying extensions instead. So with all my modifiers I'm not sure I can give good review. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! I took a 3 hr nap yesterday! My body still healing must have needed it! Happy birthday? For some reason I thought you were younger.

Mary, Hey, I rant the vacuum today! I haven't done any cleaning since before surgery. There were lots of fur balls DH didn't get (can men ever do it like we want?), and the puppy was BAD and got into toilet paper and it was everywhere. We keep doors closed on the main floor, but the kids in the basement is more messy and that is where she goes to find fun things I guess.

Roxie, hope the get to the bottom of what is going on with GS.

Jody, are you a weekend warrior now?

Murphy, hope you are feeling better.

So what are everyone's ages now? Me-49, Mary-49, Ronne-47, Roxie-48?, Jody-50? Murphy (I know you were the youngster waaaay back when), are you 44? or 45?

Healing vibes again to all. Roxie I can't imagine having gs in hospital, everyone must be so worried, I hope he's better soon. Yea! happy bd to Ronne! Snow? we've not had any hint of end of summer that I've noticed! I did most of Pyramid total body combo on Sun, prob do something tomorrow, too. I have to get up super early and chop veggies for salads for school function- why didn't i just volunteer to bring hummus and chips??
 
Hello

Roxie - so sorry to hear about grandson. I hope things start to get better soon, it must be very worrying.

Jody - that's very community-minded of you!

Lisa - hope you've not got any post-housework DOMS! I get DH to do the vaccing as I don't like the cleaner he bought. If we had a different one I'd do it!

Mary - does basketball take up as much time or is it a bit nearer to get to?

Did an old Karen Voight DVD, Yogasculpt. I wanted something to stretch me out a bit. She does have an amazing body!
Going to the theatre tonight with DH as part of my birthday presents.
Going to have to go back to the opticians again. My glasses are useless, they make the screen worse and I have to hold stuff almost right in front of my face for them to make any difference. What a pain!
 
Good Afternoon,

No workout for me yet today I have a headache and my throat is scratchy due to the furnace being on just dries me out. They still don't know what is wrong with GS they did a GI xray and a dye test but everything is normal, he drank fluids yesterday and was doing fine then they gave him jello and he threw up so last night while we were visiting they put the iv back in. I feel so sorry for the little guy he just wants to play and crawl around and he is not allowed to. They are still saying virus on top of virus I think because they don't know what else to think.

Ronne-Happy late Birthday.

Lisa-yes I am 48.
 
Hello! Roxie, I hope they figure out what is going on, must be so scary and frustrating for all of you. Keeping you all in my prayers. Murphy, how are you? Hope you are feeling ok. Lisa, I don't really like to vacuum! But no one else does it right! Haha! My dog likes to dump the bathroom garbage cans and eat all the dirty Kleenex, then I find shreds of tissue all over. Ronne, what are you going to see? I agree about Kare Voight, she is so lean and you can see all the detail in her muscles. I'm a little envious! Jody, I hear you on the cutting up of everything! We volunteered to make sandwiches for the cross country team, we decided to be fancy on fresh rolls, by the time we were done I wished we had gone to subway instead! Today did PRS 2, I wasn't very good at it! I think it was fun except the last combo had a lot of jumping up and down AND a burpee! More practice is needed! Have to run to store, dinner and basketball, homework first, have a good evening, Mary
 
2.5 mile walk with dogs and dh, then did AB double trouble PM. Massage day tomorrow so probably take a rest day to enjoy the effects of my massage.

Mary, on that combo I did a step up and step down (straddle), then on burpees I did a repeater. I'm getting good at modifying :)

Roxie, my skin is dry now that cooler weather and furnace on. I feel so bad for your GS!

Ronne, that sounds like a nice BD present. This isn't your first pair of glasses is it? They have you try them at the store but it still isn't like being at home. I have progressive lenses(I can never find the right zone to look thru for computer vs reading, and now with my neck problem I don't need all that head bobbing), I don't like them, will be sticking with cheap reading glasses from walmart from here onl

Jody, I must admit I'm weird about potlucks. I know how clean my kitchen is and how it was prepared but not what others are....so I pick at them (don't really eat much). Lo and behold one neighborhood potluck I got food poisoning even from picking not much. So I justified my OCD to myself :)
 
I made 2 salads, one with quinoa and one bulgar and tons of veggies. it was self preservation, lots of yummy food but all meat or desserts and bread. I walked for 30- then slow jog for 30' while d d at tkd.
any good news about gs roxie? happy continued bd ronne. hugs all. not turning on computer today!
 
Hello

Jody - sounds super healthy! Good to have a day off from the screen!

Lisa - No, I have glasses for distance but I've never needed glasses for close-up work before. My dad has varifocals - he hates them and won't ever get another pair.

Mary - I don't think I realised you have a dog as well! No wonder you need to clean all the time.

Roxie - hope you're feeling a bit better today.

Did TTM today all the way through. I always hit a wall when it comes to the last round of the Hiit for some reason. I took a quick break but then could only do the first time round and just rested during the repeat. It gets me every time!
Had a nice evening last night. We saw a play called Ghosts, it was quite melodramatic but good. Birthday celebrations are now officially over!
 
No workout or dog walk. Massage lady said to lay down 30 min since she massaged base of skull muscles, so I decided to lay down 2hrs,just to be sure :) and decided a total rest day was in order. These massages are helping so much don't want to ruin any of the benefits they're providing.

Ronne, glad to hear you take a break during a repeat :)
 
Hello ladies! Did FT today, no abs. Roxie, how is GS? Any answers yet? Lisa, so glad you are benefiting and enjoying the massages. I wish I liked them, just don't like to be touched by people I don't know. Weird, I know. Jody, you are a good eater. I tried quinona once, it felt weird in my mouth. I have so many issues! Ronne, I think TTM is harder than CF! Good job! Hi to you Murphy! Not too much today, just band practice and some homework on rock formations. Just what I always wanted to learn about! Have a good evening, Mary
 
Good afternoon

Mary - I seem to be getting away with not having to help with homework at the moment. Now, is that a good or a bad thing?! :D Hope you're taking advantage of a quieter day.

Lisa - rest sounds good. DD was out at trampoline last night and I had an hour just reading. Bliss!

Did TBT UB today. Work is fairly consistent at the moment, so happily working away on a project at the moment. Long may it continue!
Don't have to do the gymnastics run tonight so I've got a bit more time for reading this evening. I might also do some cleaning!
 
Good Morning,

We went to visit GS yesterday and the nutrionist wanted him to start solid foods and as long as he wasn't uncomfortable if he threw up then to just keep trying or he was going to start seeing food as bad kind of like and anorexic if he throws up everytime and they take food away from him then he will see it as something he isn't suppose to have so he had cheerios, baby puffs and toast and kept it all down so this morning he got pancakes. They took the iv out and he may get to go home today. I did XT BS CB&S then AOLIH so I have caught up some of my workouts for this week.

Ronne-I am going to start Sue Graftons W is for Wasted.
 
Roxie, I'm so glad he is doing better! What a long road for him! Ronne, I don't have to help the older ones with their homework, just the younger one. The twins help him with math since I don't understand it! I know a lot about rocks now tho! Probably more than I need to! Lisa, how are you? When will you start back at the office? Jody, today is your long day? Hope it passed quickly! Hi Murphy! Today did X41, which was the low impact and the fat burning circuit and the barre from LLA, legs are now talking to me! Have to go start car running! School, work, basketball, then I think I have more rock homework! Who needs to know all this about rocks? It's been going on for 2 weeks! I hope the test is soon so we can get to a more interesting subject! Mary
 
Mary, my 17 dd is taking earth sci for an easy sci credit, she's learning about the same thing she did when they did a middle school earth sci. Roxie I hope gs keeps feeling better. Ronne, enjoy your reads. I picked up Game of Thrones again. Lisa, good idea to rest for two hours! Murphy, how are you holding up this week? I did SH chest, CSS express pm and core from Turbo Barre.
