40's losing our leaves

STS Meso 2 wk 3 ch/sh/tri double wave load done. May be taking granddog for walk in a bit. BBL just wanted to get the thread started for the week.
 
Thanks, Lisa. Enjoy walk if you get to go.

I just did Drill Max, it got really squirrel-ly at the end plus it took more than an hour. I was going to work out, donate blood today and get a flu shot (required for clinicals) but decided not to beat myself up so much, so maybe I will donate next week. I like to hold out for double gift cards. :eye roll:
 
I did walk, 4.83 miles, beautiful day, I would be hot had we not had a nice breeze.

Got back from my walk and Guess what?!?!!? I started my cycle! It's been 26 mths since I had one. Been on this new work schedule for about a month, and I think my body is getting back to normal. This just proves that the stress was depleting my estrogen since the blood tests in March showed it wasn't menopause (fsh was normal), but had no estrogen. Still on the HRT, will have to see how it goes. I swear everyone that I've told that I think the stress was zapping my estrogen looked at me like I was crazy but I believe it to be true now. Will be interesting to see what gyn says next year.

Jody, that sounds like a fun weekend, not, I'm the one that hates needles! :)

Is everyone else out enjoying the weather (roxie), kids stuff(mary), murphy?
 
Good Evening,

I still have a migraine but DH and I went out on the boat and it was so nice. I spent over and hour last night rocking GS and it was wonderful.

Lisa-isn't this weather wonderful? Good job with your workout.

Jody-another one that hates needles god bless you.
 
Hello

Lisa - pleasant or unpleasant surprise?! Were you happy to see the back of them?

Roxie - how lovely that you can still get out on the boat.

Jody - DM is tough so kudos on doing it however long it took!

Had a nice weekend. It was my bday yesterday - I've tipped over into the second half of my 40s now!! Eeeek! Having said that, I'm in better shape now than I was in my 20s! Got taken out for posh afternoon tea - delish!
Wore my new workout clothes to do CSS this morning. For the first time in a while, I found it hard to motivate myself to workout. By the end, I was thinking, well my 40s buddies will be sweating it out later so I need to get through this. Helped me finish! Thanks guys! :)
 
Did CSS this morning. Did modify to portions but did the rest. DH took the computer to get looked at so am using an old dvd/vcr hook-up. Won't be able to check-in like I usually do. I think I gave my cold to littlest DD. She is coughing now. I hope she can fight it or at least does not pass it back or pass it on. :-(

Ronne - happy late b'day.
Lisa - glad your "buddy" is back - as long as you are happy.
Roxie - glad the boat was nice.
Jody - I can tolerate needles, but I am afraid of giving blood. Thankfully, for me, I went to a few countries in Africa and Mexico that are on the list and cannot give blood. The probelm is that I do not remember where I went (as if I am such a world traveler).

Hi girls! Procrastinating! Have to get my workout in! Not sure what I feel like yet! Ronne, Happy Birthday! Sounds like a great weekend. Roxie, isn't that the best? I love holding sleeping babies! Lisa, it came back?! Does that bother you? I don't want mine to find me again! Jody, DM? In its entirety? Were you punishing yourself for something? So everyone does want to be your study buddy? That is so nice of you to help them. Murphy, did you see they are done filming? Had DS's birthday party yesterday, just family and some friends. He said it was the best day ever, so I think it was a success! DD is doing well, better than I expected, he told her the timing was off, she didn't get that, then I asked her if she wanted to date a 10 year old, then it kind of clicked in her head! I feel better, maybe she can date a boy her own age! Well, I better get moving! Have a good day, Mary
 
Did STS Meso 2 wk3 Legs, this round of STS is really wiping me out, I'll be ready for my recovery week! I slept wrong on my neck and can't turn my head to the right, hate that! Since I had the ablation in my early 40's, my cycles really aren't much (after an hour it's done, sometimes one day), so I'm kind of happy it's back, makes me feel younger! I never really was in meno, my ovaries just decided to quit producing estrogen, now maybe the stress won't zap the estrogen out of my body like I've been feeling it's been doing.

Ronne, happy late birthday and welcome to the second 1/2 of the 40's! I agree, this group keeps me motivated!

Roxie, I sure hope your migraine is gone!

Murphy, boo on the illnesses. I don't like it when technology doesn't work (just ask DH). I'd be jumping up and down telling him to get the computer fixed!

Mary, sounds like DD is rebounding good (thanks to Mom I'm sure). These are some tough years!

Jody, how was the study session? Did you get your body all pricked with needles?
 
Good Afternoon,

Tonite for me is CLX no more slacking. DH's unemployment checks started coming in so I can relax a little bit. Its cold and cloudy here today I guess fall decided to show up.

Lisa-sorry to hear your buddy came back that is one thing I would love to lose.

Mary-dd will have many boyfriends and many breakups its just part of growing up hopefully the next one won't break her heart.

Ronne-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Murphy-hope little one feels better soon and the cold goes away.
 
Hi, I did a walk today, not a run, I think the whole DM took it out of me on Sun plus I hadn't quite digested my after school meal of oatmeal and apple, don't ask me how I figured that out.
Anyone else singing REM losing my religion this week thanks to the title? I was making up 40s check in lyrics to go along with it while walking today. LOL, Thanks Lisa oh and I am glad you are feeling better these day. R.E.M. - Losing My Religion (Video) - YouTube
Ronne, happy bd!
Congrats on the baby cuddles Roxie.
Murphy, I hope the cold doesn't spread. I got my flu shot today during lunch (finally,its required for program but I'd prefer not to have had it). I'm feeling pretty run down now, but maybe its b/c I've been cranking out homework due tomorrow. I'm about to throw in the towel and get up at 4 to finish up. ick.
Mary, neither of my girls have shown much interest in dating but oldest dd has lost her bffl twice now. That is a toughie, too. Hugs all around.
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is some kind of cardio depending on the weather if its nice I will walk outside if its cloudy or rainy I will walk in the gym. I did do last night workout and worked up a good sweat.

Jody-sounds like you are running yourself down.
 
Hello ladies

Jody - no, I started thinking things like losing my marbles, losing my mind, losing my hair!! Can you see where my head is at, at the moment?

Roxie - good news that the money's coming through.

Lisa - well, I'm glad you're glad. I'd swap you if I could!!

Mary - poor DD, I feel for her. Hope she's OK.

Murphy - workout snap! I bet it won't the same today!

As I was reluctant to workout yesterday I reckoned my body was telling me something so did yoga today. Absolutely spot on. It was more of a breathing practice than stretching but it was just what I needed.
The weather is absolutely lousy here. It's been grey and drizzling for three days now. Grim. Send me some Florida sunshine, Jody!!
 
Did 4ds Kb cardio only + abs. I'll be late checking in tomorrow,have to be at work as early as I can...for me that's 8:30 (kind of need to be there at 8, oh well). Waaaaay back when I was the one that got in at 6 or 6:30, now it's about 9. Guess I just don't feel the rush to get in there, maybe because I'm a contractor now.

Jody, I'm soooo glad my title got you singing (did I expect anything less?) I love that song.

Ronne, yea, you sound like you entered your second half of your 40's with losing all that stuff. :p

Roxie, are you sleeping now that some of the stress has eased with money/job? I had 3 sleepless nights right when my "cycle' started, it's the drop in estrogen, last night, slept like a baby and just woke up feeling content (especially since I didn't have to rush off to the office today)

Mary, HS girls can be cruel, but in a different way than losing a BF. It's amazing we all survive HS :)

Murphy, I know you are out there working out, just can't get here because of technical reasons :D
 
Just heard, DH's company wants him in Oslo, Norway until March. His mgr said he can bring me too. Ooooooh, now that there REALLY is a possibility of going overseas, I'm a bit apprehensive......
 
Hi girls! Did premix from Intensity, the HIIT and BC. Yesterday did KPC, surprised my arms are sore today! Lisa, Norway? That would be exciting! When would you leave? You could visit Ronne! Roxie, thank goodness about the checks coming in! That has to be a relief! Ronne, we have the same weather here! DD is good! I just didn't think all this would start so soon! Jody, I think when girl friends betray us, it's so much more painful than when boys do it. So far, she has been very lucky with her girl friends. Hope that you are feeling better. Hi Murphy. Well, today I have to run one to work, one to basketball and one to academic challenge, DH is at the station, hope I don't have a lot of 5th grade homework! Have a good evening, Mary
 
Hey girls!
Re besties, sadly her first friend died from a brain tumor, she was 10. It was one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with - horrifying for the family and invoked much fear and questioning in me.
School stuff- midterm tomorrow in lab class where I cause the most trouble. My blood drop project has been forwarded to our professional organization by our director and I finished my drug cards at the 11th hour only to realize 85 percent of what I needed to include was clearly and concisely laid out in one chapter of the 15 pound book I carry around with me 4 days a week! Argh- head smack! Oh well.
Lisa, ENJOY, its all good, worse thing that can happen is you will start your period unexpectedly again and not know how to ask for tampax, LOL.
Ronne, lol, I'll include that in my song.
Mary and Ronne, come to FL, we are 80s and sunny.
Murphy, you forgot which countries you visited???? Thats funny.
Roxie, glad things have smoothed out and good job on the workouts.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I went to the gym and did the elliptical. It was incredibly hot outside today but it looks like its going to be really cold by Friday.
 
Afternoon ladies

Jody - that must have been so tough with your DD, especially at that age.

Mary - Sounds like you're doing Chauffeur Max again today!

Lisa - Oslo!! Woohoo! How exciting. I've never been to Norway. You could go skiing! I don't want to put you off, but just to warn you Norway is incredibly expensive, eating out, coffee, wine, that kind of thing. Go for it though, it would be such an experience (and they all speak fabulous English of course!)

Roxie - hot?!!

Did floorwork and abs premix from B&G. It flew by which surprised me as it's one of my pet hates usually.
Good news - DD got her bike lock back yesterday. She was so pleased!!
 
Good Morning,

It suppose to be another warm day today almost 90 but tomarrow its suppose to be 49 degrees. I didn't sleep well last night DH thought he needed to cuddle all night and it was so hot in our bedroom. Tonite is CLX Burn Circuit 2.

Ronne-great news about dd, and yes I said hot.
 
Hi girls! Today did disc 9 from STS, wanted to do legs. Jody, I'm so sorry, that is such a huge loss for all. Hope the midterm went well. Roxie, warm here too, supposed to start getting cold this weekend. Lisa, are you hiding from us? Tell us all about Norway! Murphy, hello! Ronne, I avoid the floor work in B&G at all costs! Not too much running today, starts again tomorrow, of course when DH is at work?! How does that work? Haha! Have a good night! Mary
