40's - heating it up

Slept good again....did we manage to give the no sleep bug to another group? Did TF EZ55, got ready for work, started driving in, bam, headache coming. Didn't mess around, took a migraine pill. Hope it goes away. We broke a record for hottest EVER here yesterday...105, today will probably be over 100 again, that's 5 days straight, that's unheard of! gah!

Roxie, take your headache back! I know it gets hotter there than here, don't know how you do it! I bet it's the weather causing your laziness....working out this morning I was like, I don't normally sweat like this!

Ronne, aw, you party pooper, not joining in the double w/o! I like Will Smith too. Shakespeare, eh? Can't say I'm a fan of that at all. for some reason it sounds like a british thing to do :)

Mary, off earning your keep again?!?!? I'm earning mine, er, at least I'm sitting in the office, work? not so much.....boring. Seems work comes when I plan to work from home, so not fair!

Murphy, I'm the one that just did MM. That's a longer w/o....sssh, don't tell but I skip the leg presses!

Jody, didn't know I did a techie nudge :) I just nudged you again on FB :)

Have a good day all, tomorrow hoping for high 90's....I never thought I'd wish for high 90's!
 
Good Evening,

I went to the gym and did the elliptical and it was so hot in the gym the ac just can't keep up, I am hoping to go to spin class in the morning before it gets hot.
 
Long post I wrote just got lost...oh well. Just did dance class which was fun. Lisa, I hope your head all better tonight. Roxie, when gym AC can't keep up, that is hot! Murphy, I haven't done a wt training workout in ..geesh, since I started x factor, so 7 weeks? Interestingly, I don't feel undertrained, we will have to see how my first wts only goes when that happens. Lisa, after DL Nook for PC app upon your suggestion, I wasn't worried about doing the Kindle, so that was the techie nudge. Smiles to all, see you tomorrow with a workout to report. : )
 
Hello ladies

Roxie - I don't know how you manage to workout in the heat. I couldn't do it.

Lisa - sssh, yes it looks like you've managed to pass on the no sleep bug. Hope it's a bit cooler for you today.

Jody - isn't the X factor weights anyway?

Well, I put my big girl pants on today and tackled Athletic Training. Feeling very proud of myself!! Also, revising my workout plans for tomorrow as I don't think I could manage Legs & Glutes next!
Had a lovely evening at the theatre last night. We went to Stratford which is only an hour away but I've only ever been there twice. It's really nice. The play was excellent. Good to go out with my BF as well.
 
Good Morning,

I didn't make it to the gym this morning and I am going to wish I would have its suppose to be 105 here with a heat index of 108 for the next three days. Tonite I will go and do the elliptical. I don't know if its the heat or what but I ache all over and not muscle soreness just plain ache.
 
Hi girls! Yesterday did Tonique, making myself face the beast! Not sure what I will try today. I am done with work! Had to go to a jewelry party last evening, saw some friends from high school. Glad I have been working out! (I know that sounds awful!). Anyway, most have put on some weight, so it was a slight ego boost. Please don't tell anyone I said that! Lisa, the fires by you look like the are getting worse. Is the smoke bad? Roxie, sounds miserably hot by you too. Hope the air keeps up. Murphy, hope you are now 100 percent! Jody, that is so frustrating when post disappear! Ronne, I sound like one of those terrible Americans, Shakespeare is difficult to enjoy. It is work for me to pay attention! Hi to you Becky! Well, off to look at my DVDs and decide what to do. Looks like we will get the new ones soon! Going to the pool today, see you all later, Mary
 
Hi everyone. well not sure I can claim doing a w/o today. I tried RS, stopped after 10 min (my left hamstring was pretty sore from leg w/o earlier this week), so thought I'd do 4DS KB only, yep, about 10 min in (about when all the jumping jacks started, I didn't feel like jumping), so then went to MMA Boxing heavy bag premix with wrist weights, about 10 min in, I just couldn't take it in my shoulders anymore. So I decided to just quit TRYING to find a w/o! I did work up a medium sweat, so it all has to count for something, right?

Mary, my headache went away yesterday as soon as the thunderstorms rolled in, ah! Lots of thunder and lightning and the lightning sparked another fire here. Can see it from home and work, ,in fact it's on one of the trails we just hiked. Then Colo Springs fire took off with the winds last night, the pictures from that one is just awful! Don't know how many homes were lost but all along the horizon you saw home after home burning. Very sad! What w/o did you decide to do?

Roxie, I bet sometimes it's even too hot in the morning to exercise! Sorry to here of the temps there. We need some of florida's rain!

Jody, glad I could inspire you, even though I may seem pretty technical I still struggle with some things. I would think once you go back to weights the DOMs will hit. This STS is kicking my butt this time!

Ronnie, can you pass the big girl pants to me, I think I need them!

Wondering when I can get the download version of the new workouts since I didn't get the DVDs......man I really will need those big girl pants!
 
Good Afternoon,

Its 103 degrees with a heat index of 112 a good day to be inside and it looks like we are in for another week of this stuff next week come on rain. DD is pretty miserable not the summer to be pregnant.
 
I'm guessing today might be a rest day since its 6 pm and I haven't worked out yet.
Lisa, sounds like you did a 30min step martial arts cardio mish mosh!
I've enjoyed some Shakespeare theater productions primarily because of reading children's versions of the stories first (Nesbitt, Lamb) ala homeschooling. However, my kids are still resistant to Shakespeare-even if I miss those times. Ronne, I assume they have a version of what the theater was like?
Ronne, I'm doing Weider x Factor- a 30dollar set of dvds/8 week program. Its all body weight and cardio for 30 min sessions 3 times a week (were you thinking P90x?)
Roxie, maybe you need a rest week? or a light week? Seems like you've been training hard.
Mary, I've never seen Tonique...but its a beast? but it sounds so cute!
Smiles and waves~
 
Good Evening,

We hit 105 with a heat index of 114 officially to damn hot and when I went to the gym and did the elliptical the ac just can't keep up its a big building. I have really got to get there in the morning.

Jody-I would love to take a rest week but I still have one more month of training left and then I plan on taking a rest week.
 
I got the new workouts downloaded! Good thing I "rested up" today, hopefully I'm ready for Cross Fire tomorrow
 
Yesterday I was thinking that I would have to go to the doctor b/c I still am not over this cold. I would feel good-ish during the day, okay at night and in the morinng, wake-up with a scratchy throat and a "heavy head." Last night I finally realized that it must be b/c DH always has the air on a fan on or something. The vent is right over the bed and I am curled up under blankets and either freezing or freeznig and sweeting which only makes things worse. I had to put a ban on the ac - the temp has been bearable but now we are expecting a heat wave. I put a fan on in the kids' rooms so they would be okay but DH is out of luck - unless he wants the guest room...

Waves to all and Lisa, make sure you give us a review. I am hoping to get my dvd's today or tomorrow - I live in NJ afterall.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I got up and went to spin class and at 6:00 it was already hot, tonite is a session with PT.

Lisa-enjoy those new workouts.

Murphy-I couldn't sleep without my ceiling fan are you sure its not allergies?
 
Hi all

Quick post. The sun is shining and it's warm!! Stuck in front of my computer with loads of work to do. Did 1 hour of yoga today as that's what my body needed.

Won't be around tomorrow as I'm in the studio again all day. Will be back in on Monday and will read all about the new DVDs!!
 
Hi girls! Well, I did Cross Fire today. Good thing I took that semi-rest day yesterday. I didn't find it as hard as AB, except for the jack push-ups (I don't do them, 1st round I used it as an extended break, 2nd round I just did push-ups on my knees). I don't really like using the band in what I think was the 1st tabatha session, I know Chalene did some like this in CLX, I didn't like them, I still don't. I even use an easy green dynaband (old band kind). Are they really using a BLUE band? In the plyo tabatha (not sure I'm spelling that right), using 3 lb weights!!!!!! even if Cathe picks up 5's, because 2nd time around she's using 3's! Pretty good w/o, I do miss step though (I know I'm one of the few that likes step). I seemed to work up more of a sweat than normal, not sure if it's because I worked differently and hard or if it's because the humidity is up a bit (for here).

Jody, that is a creative name for that w/o I did yesterday, when put like that I didn't have a rest day!

Roxie, nothing worse than being preggo in this weather.....I actually timed my kids so that I wouldn't be preggo over the summer! One born 6/1, the other 3/16! Sorry to say i think you all have a few days of this heat. 90's here now for the next week, I used to think 90s was hot (well they still are), but man after over 100 for so long, it feels a lot cooler!

Murphy, I get what you are saying about the fan/a-c, I sometimes get a little cool and wake up sweaty/cold. Haven't figured out if it's from the cooler room at times or hot flashes :) I couldn't imagine having air blow right on me (ceiling fan is on low, so it just circulates the air). I hope you find a solution!

Mary, smoke was a little worse at my house yesterday, thankfully the Flagstaff fire doesn't look like it will get out of control like the Waldo did (the pictures coming in of whole communities lost is heart breaking). They are calling in the FBI not because arson is suspected but because of suspicious activity of all these fires being right around here,,,,,hmmmmm. not sure what that means.

I better run, laters!
 
Hi girls! Today I did PUB, yesterday did AT, a premix. Lisa, have you tried a new one yet? Give us the scoop! I should get mine tomorrow or Sat. I think you sent the no sleep bug here to Ohio! It was a rough night! I did get to watch a few episodes of Law & Order tho! Roxie, make sure you hydrate today! You are certainly working hard. Murphy, allergies were my first thought also when I read your post. Hope you feel better. Ronne, hope it doesn't take you too long to get your dvds! Jody, Tonique is by this lady named Sylvia. It is high reps, really just lunges and squats, in every direction you can imagine, fast moving. I felt like I had done 10,000 of them by the end! How much longer with WeiderX? Hi to you Becky! We go on vacation this weekend, with the family at the lake, I will be taking some Cathe. I will try to check in, heard the cottage has wifi now! Otherwise, I will be back in a week or so! Stay cool everyone! Mary
 
Roxie - I thought it might be allergies but I have been outside A LOT and not one problem. Plus, the allergy medicine did nothing to help. For that matter, my cycle starting does not help the situation either. DH and I are polar opposites. He is always hot and I am always cold. It used to be a problem but we usually manage to compromise.

Lisa - thanks for the crossfire review!

Have a great time, Mary! And to flash back to previous posts (old classmates), I agree, it feels great to be fit even if I'm struggling with some pounds but I'm really grateful I'm not struggling with a lot more and that I am quick and capable on my feet.
Lisa, good for you for attacking the workout right away! Murphy, I hope you feel better asap, whatever the cause may be. Roxie, you are double dipping on the workouts by doing spin and trainer in one day. Ronne have a great weekend and waves to Becky!

Last of disc 7 of x factor done, one more week left. My bike is outside and ready to go and we've got all the nice weather here (barely 80 this morning and nice sun.) Maybe we'll finally hit the beach tomorrow?

Murphy-that is the way we are he is always sweating and I am always freezing but I need the fan because he cuddles and he makes me hot.
