40s - last week of March

Did Xtrain legs, figured I couldn't hurt myself too much. Lowered the weights anyway...my legs were trembling at times, I'm losing endurance/strength! Had a sharp pain top of arm above elbow during some warrior arms....I suspect pinched nerve, went away. So far I've backed off the meds (except the nighttime ones), I expect to feel the pain come back and not too much because of the w/o but the meds out of my system. will see. Skiipped some of the floor work, and I was so dizzy (I took meclizine before w/o) I can't lay on floor then sit up to stretch without the room spinning, seems to be worse rolling to left side. Now it's a tie of what is worse the base of skull pain or the dizziness, ok, ok, BOS still wins :)

Ronnie, "weenie" roast is roasting hot dogs over fire. :)

Roxie, I really feel bad for the little guy!

Jody, I hope you went to sleep and did not perpetuate the madness!

mary, One more week! This will be teh hardest week of all! What kind of pain do you get with your hip? Is it right then and there when you are doing something you feel pain, or later (like a couple hrs)? Do you take anything or are you a toughie? I know I'm such a wimp! Had drugs with first baby and epidural with 2nd. We should all compare our drugs during labor! LOL

Hi all! Running behind! Did BS bis and tris. Hello to all! I will try to come back later or make it back tomorrow, I'm sorry! Mary
 
Ronne, have fun on trip! Those were good workout ideas, thanks for the reminder. Maybe use one in the morn.

Roxie, just so you know, I wondered why your dtr thought gymstyles was having a problem. I hope he feels much better soon.

Lisa, no meds x 2 vag births, second dtr very natural+ non intervention birth. Drove myself in to hospital about 6 am after water had broken the evening before and drove myself back home around 8 pm. In hind sight, I would have benefit from allowing for a little more nurturing!

Mary, sounds like the job will be worth it, but will dh be able to pick up the weekend parental stuff? I don't mind weekends, I like having time off during the week just as much.

Murphy I can't see you on this posting but I think you've been here this week. I thought of you when my 17 dd started throwing toys for cat in same room while I was doing a step. Assistants are always assistants!

I did break out a w/o last night- about 20 min of step from power step again, but I must have been tired b/c I started to feel low blood sugar shakey so I just quit after a solid 20 min of pretty sweaty step. No w/o today, maybe I'll get up and do something before school or double down by doing an xtend and TKD jog after.
I'll have to try to find a way to skip family Easter dinner day. One day of me at family dinner will set me back weeks on the scale. Uh, if I could just go and not participate in all the butter sugar and while flour and fat I totally would but that just hasn't manifested for me!
 
Hi all

Quick check-in today. Got AOLIH with Core 1 to do. Going to finish off work bits and pieces then going into town with DD this pm to spend the last of her birthday money. She's going to get a Shuffle.

We're off tomorrow so I'll see you all in a week or so. Have a good Easter weekend.
 
Hi all. Did not get a chance to check in yesterday - or did I??? Anyway, did TBT LB yesterday and XTrain BS-C/B/S. I went up on the weights again. Someone (Ronne?) asked me if I went up 10/12 pounds or went up to 10/12 pounds on the bi's/tri's. I went up to 10/12 and added 2 lb weight gloves. On the CBS, I used the 2lb gloves again but used the same weight for shoulders. I went up to 15 and 20 on some of the C/B exercises. It all felt good. I could have gone a little heavier on some exercises, but got lazy. I really have to write this stuff down. I printed the sheets but cannot find them - actually I have not looked...
Oh, the main light went out in my workout area. We need one of those long 2-4 foot bulbs so I working out to Cathe "by candlelight". It is dim but not too dark. Maybe I am actually using 1 and 2 lb weight but cannot tell b/c it is so dark! :)

So, there is a lot going on, sorry if I mix-up the names.
Roxie - ear infection! Poor baby. Sending soothing vibes to him.
Ronne - what is a shuffle? Ipod-like?
Lisa - good job on the workout. I hope you get straightened out soon. ;-)
Mary - the job sounds good and bad. The time will be over so quickly and when you get the check, it will be worth it.
Jody - if you go to the Easter dinner and don't eat, tell everyone that you have the stomach flu and don't want to eat anything - in case you throw up or get diarrhea. I have done that and they usually leave me alone. ;-)

Did YR. Soemthinge happendd at the end that maybe mary or jody can explain? when you are lieing on your back at end of YR, you roll to the side and lay in fetal posiiton for a bit beofre sitting up. I tried it to the left to see what would happen. sorry for typos, too dizzy to care. below is summarization:

I've found a position that will make my vertigo go off the charts. Don't want to do it that much because now I'll be sick the rest of the day. It's a feeling I can't describe.

anyway,
laying flat on floor on back, roll to left side (note how head is kind of cocked since there isn't a pillow under head), that sets it off like no other. I can go to right fine, with no increase in dizziness (I'm always slightly dizzy). I get out of bed every day to the left, the difference there is that I'm up on my elbow rolling out of the side of the bed with no more dizziness. I think something is getting compressed (and compressed more with the flat on floor, roll to left).

It just seems weird that it wouldn't be connected somehow to my neck thing. Something pinching my blood flow or nerve or something to my ear? it wouldn't be a problem within the ear (like crystals) after all, would it?

I felt so bad after this happened today that if I didn't have my dr appt next week I would have gone to the ER. I don't think it's something for a different type of dr than the neurosurgeon I'm going to, or do you think I need to go to some other type of dr?

ideas?

sorry no personals :( tired. of. this. neck.
 
Hi everyone! Lisa, Monday will be here, then you get to see the Dr. It could be due to the rocks in your ears, if you moved them out of place turning. 4 more days and you will be on your way to some answers. I'm sorry you feel so miserable. Today did a premix from AT. Kids are on spring break now, they are thrilled! I still have to go to work tho! I think I'm just jealous! Ronne, have fun! We'll miss you! Jody, those Easter treats are hard to reisist. Won't everyone be disappointed if they don't get to see you? Murphy, so you have "mood" lighting? Haha! Roxie, how is little one? Feeling better I hope. Lisa, my hip bothers me most of the time, being I'm am aware it's there, kind of a burning ache. Some days it's like a 2, others days an 8. Those are the days I really want a new one! I'm used to it tho. Regarding labor, I had c-sections and I loved my morphine drip! I hope you feel better. I keep you in my prayers. Mary
 
Thurs morning I did 20 min of 40/20 Hiit and later Xtend class, today 7am Xtend and now Drill Max.
How's everyone doing? What is everyone up to for Easter? My dad will be here in a bit. We've got to do emergency house cleaning. I'll prob stay home on Easter but send Dad and kids to family gtg. My mom will be disappointed but will understand. I'll just have to make it up to her after the program is done by spending some time with her.
Anyone doing eggs? I like to hide baskets for my kids. Yeah, I know they are old for it but who doesn't like a treasure hunt?
 
did lic cardio only, skipped last 1/2 of last step segment as was scared to push it. I felt better (I always feel better after cardio, I just pay for it later, in fact starting to feel TOS tightening from typing, so making it short).

Jody, your w/o's put me to shame. I have 10 people over for Easter, hope it's a day I feel good. No eggs for us, having mexican food catered. I haven't lost anymore weight, good for you for being so dedicated.

Mary, that vertigo spell took me all day to get over the nauseous feeling. Only someone with motion sickness (ME ME) would understand the awful feeling. Once I explained to my bff that the vertigo is like being on the tilt-a-whirl ride x1000, and recovery after episoded takes 1000 times as long, she totally got it. Answers hopefully on Wed (not sure where you got mon). Never had morphine, maybe I should try it :)

Well, Ronne is gone, Roxie is MIA, and Murphy is lingering somewhere so hi to you all!
 
Good Evening,

I have been mia because I haven't felt like working out unemployment was denied so its back to the drawing board. I did lay out in the sun yesterday and it felt wonderful, today I did do CK 25 and then we went to buy more vinyl for the boat because it was on sale again and we needed just a little bit more. Tomarrow is a clean house get ready for the kids to come down for Easter. DD said GS is now on breathing treatments he is just not getting better.

Lisa-it definetly sounds like the rocks in your ear because thats how I get but on the right side and it does suck and takes so much out of you when it happens I take 4 meclizine every 4 hours.
 
Hi all! Sorry never made it here yesterday, the kids are on break and I got caught up in them. I did BS CB&S. Today will be legs. Lisa, how are you feeling? Is the dizziness better? Sorry I got confused about the doctor's. You get the MRI Monday? Jody, Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed it! Hope that you had a great day! Roxie, hope little one feels better soon. It's so hard when they get so sick. Sorry about the unemployment too. Sending you good thoughts. Murphy, the kids excited for the Easter bunny? We leave tomorrow, won't be back until Tuesday. I hope everyone has a blessed Easter! Enjoy your families! Have a good day! Mary
 
Roxie, sucks about unemployment, I know how it feels to just not want to check in here, I've thought about not coming a couple days myself, but I end up here, guess it's a type of therapy. Just put all your energies into finding a job and taking care of yourself.

Mary, I'm not too dizzy (other than what I think the meds make me), unless I do that particular manuever with my neck, wondering if nerves are misfiring to my left ear because if I let the pain meds run out I get pain up into the skull radiating toward left ear. Let's hope the answers come WEd, Tues is MRI :) All pre registered for it too. DH took 1/4 flexeril (his back hurts from bad chairs at work), he woke up and said how do you take this stuff it makes you feel like crap, I told him, I take it because otherwise I'd be in major pain and now he sympathizes more with how awful I have been feeling.

Missed my 2AM dose of meds (was sleepign good), so feeling it a bit today, waiting for it all to kick back in, I plan to do some yoga later and that's it. I need to get ahead of the pain to try to have somewhat of a good Easter with all the 10 people coming over.

So, Roxie, hang in there, and keep checking in. Mary, have a fab rest of spring break and Easter. Jody, you awesome chick, good luck on barre. Murphy, enjoy your assistants, and poo on Ronne for going away on a fab vacation again
 
Good Morning,

I had a rough night my throat hurt and I couldn't breathe so I slept in a chair all night and then a thunderstorm hit this morning with sharp lightening. I need to go out today and clean off the patio furniture and then get things ready for tomarrow. I have HS on plan today to along with some abs. I am hoping it gets warm enough I can lay out in the sun.

Lisa-hope you feel better soon.
