40s - <insert fav word here> week

I did a 42 min CF mishmosh (used first section as warm up, subbed low impact tabata for plyo tabata) and then did back only (2 x) from BM2 and abs from BM2. Dance (and maybe walk) later this eve.
Happy dance about clear mammo! Lisa, I've been to Niagra in frozen winter (agrees, amazing!) and also summer. I enjoyed both, you guys will have fun. There was an awesome butterfly museum on the Canada side. Mary, did you/your kids read Paddle to the Sea?
Re list, I think I'm just going to have to decide and move forward. Gut is saying OMT even tho the RT looks better due to money.
Waves all around~
 
Hello

Jody - that sounds like a good workout. Your'e very creative - I just stick a DVD in and do it!

Roxie - rant away! That is annoying.

Lisa - meant to chip in about Niagara. I went to Toronto years ago with a friend and we did a side trip to Niagara. It was great. I loved it. We hired bikes and rode upriver.

Slightly quieter day today, manaaging to get quite a bit of work done. Did Plyo Legs and No Equipment Abs. Felt well worked. Not sure how I'm going to manage TTM tomorrow after Plyo Legs!!
 
I did a little mish-mosh I put together, CF w/u, compound leg and ub/core, followed by Intensity Bootcamp bonus. sigh, so, not a good day yesterday. One co-worker actually said she liked my original hair color, uh, did I ASK? If I didn't like it so much I would keep it just because now! How rude! Then I got the call from the dr. Both are basal, go in for Mohs surgery on Friday, no matter how prepared you are you never are really ready. Eyes a little puffy today from being upset last night, now co-worker tells me I look BAD. Nice, just what I want to hear. I'm going to dye my hair the color of the rainbow and see what they say next.....just kidding. My bff, texted me and really did cheer me up (she's so funny), then I come in here and get told I look BAD. Guess I should wear a paper bag into work after the surgery.....actually I'll just work from home and tell them where to go. rant over

Roxie, guess today is my turn to rant :) Not sure about the body in the hair yet. My hair got a bit over conditioned after the color, getting back to normal now. I did find a product I think I will like for root lift. I got the cheap one at walmart....it's called 'Not your Mothers Girl Powder'. Pink writing.

Ronne, I haven't done plyo in forever and you are one crazy woman to do TTM tomorrow. I will have to bow to you.

Jody, they say to listen to your gut. Maybe you are just up for the challenge and excitement too!

Mary, sending more bugs your way, can you PLEASE send them to Ronne? I actually couldn't remember why everyone was talking about bugs until I went back and reread my post....OY
 
Oh Lisa, I'm sorry you are having a rough patch. Thank goodness you are proactive and go get checked. How great they can get you in this week, you will be able to recover this weekend, it will be behind you. Now, for the coworkers, what to say about their stupidity? I have no words! People amaze me sometimes and not in a good way! Sending you good thoughts. Today did Squeeze, 2 lb weights and my arms were screaming!? Roxie, I would have been annoyed too! She had a commitment to you! Ronne, you sound like you are punishing yourself too! I think TTM is HARD! Jody, what are you up to? How is the tutoring going? Murphy and Becky, Hello! Well, more "bugginess" here today, our grass is brown. At least there is no mowing! Have a good day, Mary
 
Good Morning,

I don't know if its because of the extemely High Bugs or just hormones but I have been so tired lately getting out of bed in the mornings is a challenge and I fall asleep at 8 in the evening watching t.v. Tonite is my free session with PT and then I am going to help clean some more so dd and her dh can start moving this weekend. The first thing she wants in the house is her crib which is good because I can't wait to get it out of my pool room, it makes shots difficult.

Lisa-tell your co worker to go screw herself I like the hair color. Good job with your mish mosh workout. Sorry to hear about the spots, its because of you that I am going to buy a ball cap to wear on the boat.

Ronne-good job with your workout plyo is not my favorite.
 
Hi all. I tell you, miss two days of posting and you start "creating" new words. I was confused about the "bugs" but now I get it. I have been lazy, not sleeping well and not wanting to get up in the morning. I need to get it together so I will be ready for Cathe. 9 more days. I am going to start getting my outfits together. And all the other stuff that was suggested (baggies to put the stinky clothes in, wipes, quarters, etc.) I am a little nervous yet excited. I am sharing a room in one of the suggested hotels with my a colleague who went last year. She also occasionaly drives down the gym and takes a class with Cathe. I can't go with her b/c I have to get the kids off to school and the gym is about an hour or so away. (My colleague goes during the school year, not the summer when I could go - ???????!!!!!!). I will keep you all posted.

Murphy
 
I'm looking forward to hearing Road Trip experiences. Lisa, I am sorry about your spots as well as your dweeby coworkers. I did arms and abs and cardio via a boot camp mash up of Barry's Boot Camp and Weider X Factor. I'm still stuck in my process. : ( Anyone taken ACLS lately?
 
Can I just please vent a bit more? So then all day all the one girl kept saying was giving me lectures on all the ways to prevent skin cancer. But seriously, would you lecture someone who had cancer of the pancreas? Or would you lecture someone to stop smoking who has lung cancer. I guess I'm just feeling a certain stigma with this....although why should I, the is the "thing" of the baby boomers. I don't know how many times I have to feel I have to defend myself explaining, first of all it's genetic, mom, brown hair, olive skin had a LOT of them----I got her genetics and the red hair/fair skin didn't help. Yes I know to use sunscreen/hat, this is from all that time when we were young and using baby oil and sunbathing all the time. <vent over, thanks for listening>
 
Hi all

Lisa - can I just say that your colleagues are idiots?! How about sticking a post-it note to your computer (as if it were a reminder to yourself, of course): IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!

Murphy - how exciting for you.

Mary - you should see our grass! I really need to mow it but it's been raining so much I haven't had a chance. No excuse today though as it is dry.

Hi Roxie/Jody

Well, I did it!! TTM completed, all the way through and no breaks! Yay for me. I really needed that exercise lift. Had long talks with DD last night about friends, problems, etc. There were tears and I'm feeling pretty down about it. Just looking forward to school finishing tomorrow and then a good break from everything.
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is another session with PT she kicked my butt good last night had me hold a 25lb wt. plate over my head and do squats for 50 seconds three times. Well I think we got the house clean enough for the appraiser I was there until 10:15 last night. We had a freak rain storm here last night it wasn't in the forecast but it sure was nice, it didn't cool us down any we are still going to have High Bugs today.

Ronne-I can't believe your kids are still in school the kids here are about ready to go back.

Lisa-you work with some real winners.
 
Hi everyone! Feel a bit better today about the whole situation, but nervous. Maybe because I know what to expect (had this done about 6 yrs ago, that surgery took 8 hrs) and I made the mistake of googling it and saw a surgery in process. Good thing is that DH is home now and will be home next week too.
I did a little w/o today, 4DS LIS cardio only.

Co-workers: My industry sucks. Technical has a lot of men and now foreign workers. I would say 80% foreigners in this company. It is these foreigners where the comments are coming from. They are both American citizens now but was raised in those foreign countries where all the outsourcing is going on 1/2way around the world. I try to take that all into account but is hard when you have something impacting you. I'm just going to milk this and work from home until I'm presentable again (ie. no bandages or bandaids)---that's a good 2 weeks. Thank you all for listening and for all the kind words.

Hey, on a plus note, my hair looks AWESOME today! Well hydrated = curls galore and it's looking a bit darker since it's so shiny too. Nice volume on top with that powder I found. DH says he likes the color.

Roxie, these high bugs are here to stay for a while. Those squats sounded intense!

Ronne, man we can use some of that bug spray over here! lol I'm sooooo funny, hahahaha good job on TTM, WOW!

Murphy, I bet you are going to be on cloud 9. You will have to take some pics for us and post them (there is a paper clip on the top of where you type your post for attachments).

Mary, beach today? cleaning?

Jody, got your PM. I don't think I said in my post before, this person also said I need to quit HIKING, it's not good for me being in the sun all that time. So guess I need to quit living my life? I just let her talk, thankfully she's not in the office today.

gotta run for now....
 
The rain came! A little excited! Today was LBB, was hard for some reason! Lisa, I'm sorry about your coworkers, they sound miserable and want everyone else to be also. I agree with Ronne's sign. You will be in my prayers, hope all goes well tomorrow. So glad DH will be home. Sending you good thoughts. Roxie, doesn't that trainer like you?! That sounds crazy! Ronne, hope all is well with DD. That age is so hard, we can't make the problems go away so easy as we did when they were little. Murphy, I'm getting so excited for you! You are going to have so much fun! Jody, saw you were being creative again! Hi Becky! Today I will clean and read! It's supposed to rain all day! Mary
 
I did a 1 mile walk, 30 min boot camp class at rec center and 2 mile walk back.I hope everything goes smoothly for you tomorrow, Lisa. Hugs and prayers headed your way! Hugs for you and dd, too Ronne. I was grateful for my dd today, she was a good listener and sounding board. Roxie, I hope appraisal comes out great. Waves to Murphy, Mary and Becky.
 
Good Evening,

The PT kicked my ass again tonite and she told me I have a month left with her I don't understand that. I gained another pound back up to where I was when we started but my bf is down another % again I don't understand that either.
 
Hi Ladies

Just a quickie today. Loads on with DD finishing early.

Lisa - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Roxie - keep working hard!

Mary - hope you did more reading than cleaning!

Jody - it must be great being able to discuss things with your DD like that.

No time for a workout today. Probably won't be back to working out till Monday. Going out for dinner tonight, just the three of us to celebrate the end of primary school. Have a good weekend everyone.
 
I got in PUB this morning, will be resting and recovering this weekend. My glute still needs some TLC :) Thanks for the well wishes. So just to fill you all in, now another person at work (a guy) heard of what was going on, told him I wouldn't be in for a while (I just don't want to go in with visible stitches and bandages, do you blame me?), anyway, he actually said, send us pictures....WTH? Maybe he was trying to make light of the situation, but still...... OF course, given what happened here overnight, some people....not sure if it made the national news (I know the pres is speaking in an hour or so), a mass shooting at the opening of the midnight showing at the Batman movie. 12 dead, 50 injured, CRAZY! I know DS20 went but I do believe he was at a different theatre.

Sorry for lack of personals, I have to get going soon, they moved my appointment time up to earlier this morning....I hope this doesn't mean I'm in for a long day. Last time I had Mohs surgery done (6 yrs ago), it took 8 hrs.......
 
Good Afternoon,

I have had a busy morning. I am going to the gym tonite for some kind of cardio. I figured out my tiredness comes from dealing with both bosses negative mood and pissiness.

Lisa-I heard about that shooting what a horrible thing and to think his house is also rigged to explode I just don't understand some people.
 
Lisa, thinking of you! Have you in my prayers. Thought of also about the movie shooting, I can't fathom the while situation. Today did PS CST. Hi to all, sorry no personals, trying to type on itouch, not really working out so well, Mary
 
Power went out last night. 7-year old popped awake and stayed awake until DH layed down with her - 2 hours after bugging us every few minutes or so that she was afraid and was having nightmares. She was already in the bed with the 4-year old who was sleeping away, but DH had to get into the bed too. So, no alarm but I did wake up in time to be almost late for work :)

Roxie - it is probably the muscle you are working so hard to form. If you were gaining weight in the traditional sense your clothes would be getting tighter. My scale measueres bodyfat among other things and it really makes a difference, keeps me going.

Lisa - I hope things work out for you.

Waves to all! 7 more days. I am getting excited and will start packing soon!

Murphy
 
Back from surgery. They only had to go in 2 times to get it all. 3.5 hrs and I was done. the one where your glasses set, one of the stitches is right near the corner of my eye. I really liked this doctor and his medical assistant too. She asked me about my hair color if it was natural as she liked it. I did ask him if I found these early enough and he said they weren't too big and how he understands it's hard to find them and that you hate to run into the office for every little bump. He was fairer than me.

Of course the only thing on the TV is news of the shooting.......good thing I have some things to watch on the DVR. Gonna go take my Vicodin, and ice pack and lay on the couch and watch a show.....
