40s Healing in October

Today work really sucked and that affected my mood and didn't want to workout. DIL was going to go to the gym to do treadmill even though her hammie hurt. I said, wanna do a great butt workout with me? So did GG. She stopped at the discs :) Blamed her hamstring but she said is this lady always this intense? uh, yeah, she loved when cathe would say 'can you feel it', right when it was about unbearable :) Oh and took the dogs on a 2.5 mile walk

Mary, I'm really even more unhappy at work with my old team lead gone. the team is falling apart. I have to use a tool to get someone else to do a change on production but 3 times now there has been something wrong with how I filled it out (I'm not the only one with these problems). Takes an hour to fill it out and then they don't do it. So I ASKED my team for help, SILENCE! So logged off today without the change being done. I'm not worried about getting in trouble I just don't like having something I'm responsible for not getting done especially when I asked for help. I could go on and on. Right now I'm thinking of telling my mgr that I can only work 2 days a week from home instead of 1/2 days, that way I only have 2 days in a week that I can get upset :) And there is no way I could go in, I can't hold my head up that long without breaks. I'd love to quit, but 1. I'm not a quitter and 2. i'd shoot myself if it ended up that we needed the money later in life that I would make, remember, my DH is 57. Sorry to run on and on. GG worked out some of the frustrations :) I can't believe you don't find rocks interesting :)

Jody, sounds like you are really getting in teh workouts. I not only rested for 2 hrs, I rested the whole day, was pretty sore where she worked me so had a couple glasses of wine last night too. That helped more than the muscle relaxers! I can only imagine how it will be when she gets to the deeper neck muscles. She also says there is a lot of scar tissue to break up.

Ronne, I'm reading Nineteen Minutes (been reading it a while....fall asleep because reading relaxes me that much and I guess I'm that tired). It's about a school shooting. I started it around the Sandy Hook school shooting (can't remember when that was), and now there was another school shooting (can't remember where, but a teacher stepped in front of a student to save the student and teacher died). I know depressing. Amazing it's taking me so long to read it and that there were 2 school shootings in that period of time! They are becoming waaaay to common here.

Roxie, so glad GS is feeling better, can't believe you are keeping up with your workouts, you went to see him right?

Murphy, hope all is well with you and that Cathe is keeping you a bit honest :)
 
Good Evening,

Good news GS has been released and he is on his way home. This grandma is
really happy.

Lisa-yes we went and saw him yesterday and he was alot better.
 
Hi all

Roxie - that's such good news about GS. Let's hope he gets back to his usual self soon.

Lisa - sorry to hear about your work troubles. At least you're not in the office!

Jody - well done on the workouts.

Mary - wow, that's some workout.

Quick post from me today. Suddenly realised that the work I have to get done by Monday is huge! That's the problem when working with pdfs as opposed to paper, you don't have a clue how big things are till you open them!
Did S&G, enjoyed it!
 
Good Afternoon,

DD said GS had a good night home which is good news. I went to walmart today and they had a pair of cute wind pants in a short length which is really hard for me to find. I did intervals on the treadmill for 17 minutes couldn't go longer my shins hurt. I need to do Tabatacise that is scheduled for today.

Ronne-its nice to have things back to normal for them.
 
Happy Friday! Today did the Firm, standing legs. Roxie, what a relief! So glad he is feeling better! Do you need new shoes? Ronne, have fun with your pdf's! Hope it goes quickly! Lisa, sorry about work. DS had to read that book, said he had a hard time getting through it, also he kept picturing himself! Not the best book to have 8th graders read right before they start high school! Jody, maybe you DD can tutor my DS? We'll come to you! Hi Murphy, hope you are doing ok! Football tonite, 36 at game time! Have to find my winter clothes! Talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Friday I didn't do anything but walk the dogs 1.5 miles. My legs and general body was just tired, so I tried to listen to it :) Today I did SM, first time I tried it after surgery I couldn't get past the 1st combo, I did it all today, still wasn't as easy as it used to be for me, plus no arms and no risers, but it's progress. Took dogs for 1.75 mile walk.

Mary, I normally didn't like massages either and people touching me, but when you hurt you do it, especially when it works! Much better than the "massage" I got at PT. I finished the book, I didn't see that ending(almost fell asleep a couple times but DH comes in and yells at me to wake up, I think I would have prefered to sleep! So tired body working hard healing and now working out), I couldn't imagine it be required reading for a middle schooler.

Ronne, hope you get your work done in time! I'm trying to hang in with work, may I say, one thing that irritates me is some of the people we work with. We now have people in China on our team (I think they are quiet rude), My plan is just not to log on where they can see me on until I know they are gone for their day :) This guy was sooooooo impatient and trying to tell me how to do my job.

Roxie, glad GS is home and feeling better, I bet it's a relief.

Hellos to Jody and Murphy. Have a great weekend all!
 
Good Afternoon,

I did X10 Fat Burning Circuit and this is one tough workout even though it is short.

Lisa-right now a massage sounds great.
 
Hi girls! Today did a pop physique workout, it was ok! Yesterday MMA boxing. Lisa, glad the massages are helping. Sorry about work, it would be frustrating. Roxie, is the little one brand new? Hope he's feeling better. Jody, how are you? On the downward side of the semester! Murphy, how are you doing? Do you have another treatment this week? Ronne, how was your weekend? Cleaned yesterday, put the winter sheets on, we watched Hangover 3 last nite, terrible! Have to get Halloween costumes today, can't believe it's almost November! Mary
 
Good Morning,

I did a 35 minute walk on the TM and Total Body Stretching Basic Stretch.

Mary-dd says little one has blood in his stool and running a temp her doctor told her to watch it and if it gets worse bring him into the office tomarrow.
 
did FT today, 2nd time for this and I do like it. I do planks for those crazy pushups and the situps where you put weight overhead, planks did really good things for my core during PT so figured those are always good to throw in. Some substitutions, I up'd the weights to 5 lbs for bi and tri (lying extension instead of overhead), and skipped tri dips (just seemed iffy to my shoulder). I did do pushups! though not as fast and more michelle obama style than ellen style (jody should get that joke). I can tell on some of the moves (like kickbacks), my left tri is much weaker (that was one of the muscles with nerve impingment), the rear delts were first I've done them and they felt good (I did only use 2 lb, will up to 3lb next time and see), and the rear delt and mid delt was other muscle that was impinged. So baby steps. Will see if anything makes me hurt in a bad way.

Roxie, I sure hope GS doesn't have to go back to dr, poor guy!

Mary, are winter sheets flannel? I've thought of putting mine on but this is going to sound funny, it's easier for me to turn on reg sheets(I still have to sit up to roll over (at least I don't have to get out of bed like I used to). I will put on the quilt today and have our new snuggly comforter ready because it's going to be a cold week.

Waves to all the other 40's and Jody :p did you get that joke Jody?
 
Good mornin! Today did a firm, the one with Janet Gretzgy. Roxie, poor guy! How's he doing today? It's just too much! For him, his parents and you! Lisa, we have fleece sheets. It's like sleeping in a sweat shirt! So soft! Of course, I do have to open a window. Hope all is well with everyone else! Have to run into work, have a good day! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Roxie - hope everything is OK with GS, poor thing.

Mary - sounds like you're getting prepared for winter. We're still quite mild here although we already have our winter duvet on.

Lisa - congrats on the workouts. Hey those baby steps sound pretty good to me. You're doing really well.

Hi to Jody and Murphy, hope things going well.

Had a quietish weekend, just catching up on stuff really. Had to do some work yesterday to get the job done for today's deadline. Just did some short yoga yesterday and today did KCM CB 1. It's ages since I've just done it as is and not a premix and I really enjoyed it!
Off to my parents tomorrow with DD for a couple of days. It's half term here. It'll be nice to have a little break.
 
Did PS2, I like that one, maybe because I do it LI. I added back in baby arms, will see how that feels tomorrow, but I have massage tomorrow again anyway. FT didn't leave me with anything hurting except DOMS in the tris (so a good hurt). I notice my 2 bad spots start hurting when I start working and computer work (so will make this short ).

Mary, those sheets sound really warm. My new comforter has sheepskin (is that what it's called?) fluffy white fleecy? I took the sham that I won't use and put it over dogs bed, she loves it.

Ronne, a break sounds nice!
 
Good Afternoon,

I haven't worked out yet MIL called this morning and wants to come down tomarrow afternoon and then spend the night nothing like short notice so I spent the day cleaning the house.

Mary-gs went to the dr today and everything is fine his ears are clear and there is no blood in his stool.
 
Work day ended bad, so I decided to do RK and keep the hooks low and of course LI. The arms with step didn't hurt me yesterday and I'm going to hurt anyway after my massage in a bit (no matter how much water I drink) so figured if RK hurt me I wouldn't know any difference.

Roxie, happy for GS. I had a FIL that did the same thing, only he wouldn't call, he'd show up on our doorstep (after a 2.5 hr drive), did it not occur to him to call us before he left his house?

Cold rainy here, no walk outside.
 
Hi everyone,
I did DM for 40 minutes today, skipping some of upper body segments and stuff. I did sh, bi and tri and half of Pyramid Hiit w/o on Sun, skipped Sat, can't remember prior to that but i feel "caught up" so there ya have it. Diet could be lots better.

This semester busy with projects and papers, group project due Tues. I like putting all the info together but others want to make movies and stuff. I'm ok with boring and solid!

Mary, yes, we are on the downhill side of the semester. How has your's gone this time?

Lisa, No MO pushups! lol, if you have too....you've really been getting back into Cathe's.

Roxie, I'm happy for GS. I hope you enjoy MIL visit.

Hi Ronne and Murphy, I hope your week is going well.

Oh I watched Blackfiish on Sunday night - so disturbing. : ( also DWTS last night, loved the What does the Fox say group dance, so funny. I watch too much tv~
 
Hello girls! Today did GH, no AS since I don't know that one. Roxie, so glad GS is better! Do you like your MIL? I enjoy mine, she cracks me up! Ronne, enjoy your folks! It's so nice to get away! Lisa, sorry about work, go get all your stresses rubbed away! Jody, I never liked group projects, someone always has to do all the work, then other people don't do their parts. Gosh, sounds like I have had some bad experiences! Lol! Hi Murphy! Thinking of you! Jody, what is Blackfish? I have never heard of it. I watch too much tv too! DH works so much in the evening, it's like my date! Have to get moving! Have a good evening! Mary
 
Mary, Blackfish is a new documentary about Orca in captivity, SeaWorld and deaths and injuries.
Not related, I posted a bra quest in OD. Where to buy sizes for very slender but full?
 
Tired! Didn't sleep well last night, it was either the coffee I had at dinner (I should know better) or my neck feeling icky and uncomfortable. I'm going back to bed and not going to feel guilty about it! Body tells me it needs more rest to heal.

I hope the calorie fairy visits me while napping and takes some away!

Jody, told massage lady about doing obama pushups, she knew what i meant too!
 
Hello! Quick post, have to get children! Did RK, except for combos. Lisa, enjoy your nap! Jody, I bet that movie was a bit disturbing. Roxie, how's the visit going? Ronne, having fun? Murphy, hello! Lots of running today, band, academic team and basketball! Have a good evening! Mary
