40s - luck 'o the Irish

Roxie, will you come do all that for me here too? I'm not looking forward to the predicted snow, will have to venture out Sunday to get food. I'm sick of the same old stuff to cook though (I'm not very creative in the kitchen).

I did do HR. BOS pain is barely there, but still went ahead with HR plan. I checked my pride at the door and used 1/2 the weight for UB as I normally do (that means, 3 lbs for lateral raise, 10 ttl for OH press, 5 lbs dumbbells for biceps), felt ok, then for LB squats, I used only 25 lbs --the amount I felt I could lift safely over my head. I don't think I pushed it. I am so dizzy (even with the meclizine), I swear there is a vascular compression somewhere to my head (read that on a site I googled for cervical spondylosis). getting up from weight bench after doing tricep extensions (with 3 lbs, sad!) I was so dizzy, I couldn't even walk straight. That is not normal for me!!!!! I do not believe it's my ear rocks since it came on with this neck thing. Oh, I skipped tricep dips (was recovering from dizzy spell) and pushups as I can't 1/2 the weight of those! lol Did do the bands either. I'm happy to be doing Cathe even if it's not now (or maybe ever) the weights I used to use. It just cheers me up. Only you all would understand that! I'm sorry if I go on and on about this neck, just tell me to shut up if you want! I'd go crazy without you all right now!

Oh and the ab part was the toughest. I supported my head the whole time (no hands to knees), on thrusts, had to modify to oblique crunches. skipped some of the ones (like swimming arms). It wasn't lack of ab strength is was neck needing support. The whole HR experience has me knowing, something is definitely wrong in there and I hope they can fix me! It is not in my head!

Hi girls! Wow, I haven't posted since Tues. No w/o Wed, Xtend on Thur and Fri and this eve I also did about an hour of step (MIC and RS). I'm in a vintage mood, watching power max (love the music and moves). Clinicals went ok on Wed, I just make myself scarce as possible for 12 hours, try to find someone to help or something to research.

Ronne, I think I'm not losing b/c I cheat on food which is harder to avoid with busy schedule. Still an excuse but that is my story for now. I'm only cheating myself! Either way, I'm still in the program so I better do what I need to do to finish it out.

Lisa, I went w/ my friend (for tests) who has been experiencing vertigo. She doesn't have the crystals, but it looks like her L vestibular system is recovering from some sort of injury. (virus?) I stayed in while she had tests. It was fun to watch but I hope she gets some relief and full recovery soon.

Mary, what can be left to clean?? Ronne, do you like your results with this rotation? Lisa, my neck hurts after all that step I just did! Roxie, I hope hubbers chills out.

Weigh in tomorrow. Super dieters tea and last chance workout; check check. : )

Sat morn edit- Ha ha, I just did 30 min (seg 1 and 2) of Power Max. Too fun. whoop there it is, ooh baby baby, booom ba dada dada booom

Hi all. Just did "most of" AB. I did some substitutions and some of the burpee's I skipped. I discovered that the headaches I have been having for the most month or so are migraines. I have never had them before so I had no idea what was happening to me. I am feeling okay now, and the doctor gave me a prescription and etc. Anyway, sorry for lack of personals.

Good Morning,

I plan on working legs today and then doing AOLH and core. I vaccumed this morning hoping it would help with the cough and runny nose I have had lately. Now I am ready to hunker down for the snow storm.

Murphy-migraines suck I have had them since I was 16 and the best med for it was Darvocet but they don't sell that anymore none of the migraine meds work for me sometimes 2 excedrin and a can of coke works better.
 
Hi girls! Did PUB this morning. Upper body is burning! Roxie, hope it doesn't snow too much, it's coming our way tomorrow night. Hope you feel better. Murphy, sorry about the migraines, they are miserable. Jody, how'd the weigh in go? Lisa, I always have to hold my head doing abs too! My neck gets too tired! How are you feeling? Ronne, having fun with DD? Not too much on the agenda today, hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Mary
 
Lisa, don't push it on the workouts. I've gone long time between Cathe wts when I'm in the trenches, it does take awhile to get back up there, but it isn't worth it if you injure yourself. The goal is a healthy fit body. That being said, congrats on the burn, Mary!

Roxie, did you get a lot of snow? Are you feeling cozy and snug?

Murphy, sorry about the migraines.

Ronne, how was massage? I get hot stone pedi's once in awhile (usually w/ guy friend, his treat). Love love love. I'd like a new pedi and fresh hair for mid April end of rotation photos. Hey, I guess you could say I've stuck to a rotation, now!

Mary, will you get any more time off next week? Our school is closed Fri and Sat so those will be two days I don't have my tutor job. I won't mind that~~

So I did 30 min of Power Max- H*** yes, I was pony'ing on the corners and doing party arms. I really did notice that those moves require good core strength. Then I did Xtend class which culminated in a challenge (holding chair position, etc.) I was one of the last 5 standing and could have gone to the end I think but my feet didn't have traction and I got tagged out when I shifted them a bit. I noticed I enjoyed the competition! Came home and did upper body w/ BM and abs. I think tomorrow should be Drill Max or some sort of circuit/met thingy.
Waves~~~
 
Good Evening,

I finally worked legs but only did the standing leg portion and I can tell I need to work my legs more they are really shaking, I also did Shape Abs. We have quite the snowstorm going but its melting almost as fast as its coming down so thats a plus.

Jody-I only went outside long enough to get the mail.

Mary-I was feeling good until I worked out now I have a cough again I think its something in that room.
 
Snowy day and it's still snowing. Not feeling the best today (neck) so no w/o. I really don't think I overdid it it's just how this @#$@#$ neck wants to be today (plus I lowered doses of meds, so upped them again for awhile). No DOMS in UB. Now LB is a different story, DOMS galore, pretty bad that HR did that, goes to show how out of shape I'm getting. Had nice day with DH and DS making mochi and dog laying on me(she won't lay on anyone else, hee hee).

Jody, you sound like a workout goddess. I'd be first one tagged out of chair pose (you are talking of yoga pose?) I'm bad about following up with dr visits, I'd have to feel really bad. I hope I don't have to chase down the dizzy thing, hoping it resolves if I ever get neck resolved. Sometimes it's like the drs are doing a guessing game (especially in the inner ear), they are strictly going on studies (or that's how it seemed with what we went thru with DH).

Roxie, wonder what could be in the room? allergic to something?

Mary, get ready this snow is coming your way!

Murphy, I have much less headaches with meno. But when I do get a migraine, if Execedrin/advil mixutre doesn't get ritd of it then I take a Relpax (rx) with another excedrin. Sometimes they just wipe you out. Hope you feel better!

So, my sister in FL(married to chiro) now knows I'm seeing a MD, of course she doesn't approve. She doesn't even take advil, ever. claims it was the chemo that killed Dad and not the liver cancer. You get the drift. She's gone so far to tell me to come to FL for her DH to treat me for a week or so and then they will find someone who does same kind of adjustmenet he does here. I guesss he is God or something (according to her). Swears Dad was never the same after his back surgery (40 yrs ago), medicine has come so far. Said chiro messed Dad up before his surgery, that's why he didn't like her when she married her DH. Funny, he didn't see him for adjustments after the first couple yrs of their marriage, proably because it didnt' help. Keeps saying how people come from all over the country to see her DH for adjustmenets (he only practices 2x a week), I replied, people come from all over the country to see this neurosurgeon/spine specialist I'm seeing. I want to see what comes of the tests. Oh, then she went on to say how Her DH finally got her to hold her adjustment in her lumbar that was bad and now she's held it 10 yrs. I dunno, is it me, I just am not a believer, I tried chiro, it didn't work this time, I'm moving on. I'm not crazy about surgery but just wantn some type of relief. I don't know, I'm babbling and venting.
 
Good Morning,

We got about 4" of snow overnight and its suppose to blow all day today with the possibiliy of at leat anothe 1". DD told me GS has pink eye poor baby we are going up Tuesday to see him I miss the little bugger. I will do AOLIH and a stretch today since we won't be doing anything else.

Lisa-chiros and dr don't agree on anything because chiros don't need as much schooling to practice.
