40s Mayday!!

Totally exhausted. DH made it right before it ended. In the end it turned out OK. My workout was throwing up last night due to all the airline stress, not eating all day until 3pm at a Brazilian steakhouse.... Protein! Don't expect to workout tomorrow. Only got 5 hrs of sleep last night. Here's a pic, we are proud parents!

Good Evening,

I don't know why I am so tired anymore but I couldn't get up again so all I got done was planks at work.

Lisa-so happy he made it for some of the graduation now get some sleep.
 
Good morning! Today did a lower body circuit I found on line, it was wicked! Lisa, so glad DH could make it! You must be so proud! What a beautiful family you have! Jody, give us the scoop on your last 2 days! Roxie, your body probably needed the break. Ronne, having fun? Hi Murphy! Waiting for DS, taking review class for AP history, they are running really long! Long track meet last night for DD, 5 hours! Dinner with friends tonite. First, have to go get my mom something, I'm behind! Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I went for a 2.83 mile walk outside this morning and then mopped the kitchen floor, vaccumed and did my planks. We are in the high danger tornado areas tomarrow.

Mary-good job with your workout.
 
Mary, that is two workouts for sure. Hmm, thanks for the reminder on mother's day. I hope my mom will come up and go to movie with me tomorrow. We want to see Heaven is Real.

Lisa, CONGRATS!! Wow, you've got two of them all graduated and doing so well. Glad Don made it back. Dinner sounds good, too bad you threw it up!

Roxie I hope you are feeling peppier, good job on the planks though. Ha ha, any chance you are doing walking planks as you move from one area to another?

Ronne, too bad about the trip for DH. Is it postponed or cancelled?

Grad on Thurs was good. Prof said it was the first time the whole class showed up so I' glad I didn't meet her negative expectations. I was glad I went, too, to be part of it. Thurs after I scooted home, packed and then picked up dd at work and we were Disney bound~ about 2 hour drive. Magic Kingdom all day Fri. We met dd friend who interned there this semester and she helped us navigate some of the new fast pass stuff. We were ON all day long. I hit the road home last night at 11p but pulled over at first rest stop for a nap, arrived home at 2. Working nights tonight. Didn't muster a workout today but did actually do one Thurs before grad. LBB TS 1-6.
 
Good Evening,

We had golfball to softball size hail tonite and then pea size during the second storm.

Jody-sounds like you had a fun time great way to unwind.
 
Happy Mother's Day! Today did the Cathe live workout. It only got glitchy at the end, not bad. Roxie, did your cars get dinged bad? Be safe! Lisa, have you recovered from Friday yet? Jody, sounds like you had a ball! Will your job turn full time now? Or are you staying PRN? Hi Ronne and Murphy! Beautiful day here! Have to go see my mom. Kids, (really eldest DS). Made me a movie to music with pics of us thru the years. I was bawling! Hope everyone has a lovely day! Mary
 
I did an X10 premix, I think it was X52 (LI, cardio, FBC). I needed something CATHE to get me moving this morning.

Mary, what a nice MD gift! I think I'm finally recovered from Friday, DH and I were exhausted yesterday still (it's hard to recover from no sleep and stress---I swear I felt DH's stress). It took DH longer to wind down from all the events ( I say because he was still rushing in on Friday morning (he got there at 11am), whereas by Friday at 7am I was like, nothing you can do, but make it the best for your DS. DS and I napped Friday evening (we didn't mean to, we just fell asleep from it all), DH still hadn't winded down enough to fall asleep. He told work, I'm not flying the next 2 weeks, they said, oh, the requirments changed anyway so we wasn't going to have you come out. Knowing my luck, DH will be out of town right when DS and I need to go meet the moving truck in Kansas. Dang Murphy's law (sorry Murphy :) )

Jody, I love Disney! And working the Fastpass system takes a strategy. I always try to zig while everyone else is zagging there :) Glad you pulled over for a nap! We've only drove all night ONE time, NEVER AGAIN!

Ronne, did you get some jeans? I don't blame your DH for being glum, nothing worse than something getting called off because of weather!

Roxie, it's snowing here right now, I think we are to get 6 inches. Crazy weather.
 
Good Evening,

DH and I went and saw my mom in Fairbury NE then back to Manhattan to see his mom. There is another round of bad weather headed toward my sister that lives in the same town as my mom and her daughter who also lives in NE. I did KCM's YBB Core, Start Here Cardio and Turbo Fire Stretch 10.

Mary-DH has two nice dings on the hood of his truck and my car was in another bad hail storm a couple of years ago so its hard telling.

Lisa-my DB lives in Golden and he is complaining about the snow too.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - glad to hear everything worked out in the end.

Jody - sounds like you've had a lovely couple of days. Glad the grad was worth while and Disney sounded like fun. Fast pass is great isn't it?! Hope work wasn't too much after all that fun.

Mary - what was the cathe workout? Worth signing up for?

Weekend was pretty quiet actually. Went into town yesterday with DD and I did get some jeans. Gap had 30% off denim so got a bargain.
Did my last new DVD, KCM's Trim Down. Did section 1 on Sat and 2 today. Tougher than I expected, especially 1.
 
I did PRS2 this morning, it was more like a HIIT for me :) I had 1 riser and had to pause after each combo. I've lost a little cardio with all the pilates I've been doing. I think it's time to go down to no risers and enjoy myself, work out and not kill myself. Snowing still this morning, I go to neurosurgeon for followup appt today, I hope I'm released from anymore followups because the xray results said, 'cervical fusion verified again'. I was going to say something else but can't remember. Hate that.


Mary, when is surgery for you again? Soon I bet. Another week?
 
Hi all! Today did KCM plyo metrics. Ronne, you have Gap? I love the Gap! Quiet weekends are so nice! Roxie, your rain has arrived here. Thank goodness we haven't had any hail tho! You did a lot of driving yesterday! Jody, when are your boards? I imagine you will ace them. Lisa, ease yourself back into those workouts. Have you tried your KCM's yet? Yes, surgery is next Monday! Starting to get wound up! I don't do well with doctors or nurses! LOL! Went for pre admission testing today nurse told me she was tired!? Kept asking me what knee I was getting done? Made me nervous!, she didn't instill a sense of confidence that's for sure! Hopefully the surgery center will be more on the ball! Fingers crossed! Hi Murphy! Gotta figure out dinner, Mary
 
Good Evening,

I did KCM's Circuit Burn 1 when I got home and planks at work. We had a thunderstorm at 2:30 this morning didn't really bother me actually helped me sleep. Trying something different with my workouts that Kelly suggested.

Mary-glad you didn't get any hail. That is the only reason I don't visit my mom more often had to drive 3 hours up and back.

Lisa-it cooled down here into the 50's not liking it.

Ronne-I really like Trim Down Boxing I haven't tried the whole workout yet.
 
Neurosurgeon appt went well. 1 level is completely fused, 1 is mostly fused and 1 is somewhat fused. They were very happy I don't have any more issues in my left arm and the strength on both sides is equal. I only have to go back if I have a problem, and they said I could wear my stupid bone stimulator once in a while to help complete the fusion. YUCK! But I decided to go ahead and wear it while I watch TV, at least I don't HAVE to wear it 4 hrs everyday :)

I remembered what I was going to say. I haven't been eating the best, and have stayed away from the scale. Well I got back on it, and my weight is the same, whew. Now to start to try to lose 5 more lbs.!

Roxie, can you share what Kelly is having you do?

Mary, that nurse makes you wonder......I'm sure on surgery day they mark the body part? At least they did me, had a nice signature of my doc's name right on my neck :) I wonder if he felt like an artist signing his work before it was even done? lol I did step into the doc office today since he was sitting right next to where the PA was showing me my xrays and thanked him for everything. He asked about my sister, said she was getting better with the massage person and the chiro she recommended. he said he felt like he left her hanging but her problem wasn't a surgical one (for hip or back) because he talked to the hip dr and what he told dr rajpal isn't what my sis remembered...said he thought my sis heard what she wanted to hear :) Told him of the massage lady finally convincing her of her leg length differences causing the problem, and dr rajpal said that is fixed by a simple lift in the shoe. I said, she didn't want to believe that would fix it or wear one, but she is now. She's so stubborn and doc is right, she hears what she WANTS TO HEAR until there is no option but to believe it's something else only after several medical people say the same thing :)
 
Hi all

Lisa - that sounds like good news, especially not having to go back again!

Roxie - yes, I'll probably give that premix a go sometime, I bet it's pretty tough.

Mary - I'll be keeping everything crossed for you! What exactly are you having done?

Did BS CBS today. I've decided I've been neglecting my LB a bit, so after this week I'm going to try and do a bit more work on my legs. I don't really like working legs so it's very easy for me to ignore them!
Going out with BF tonight, going to see Frank (a film), meeting up a bit early for a catch up.
 
Good morning! Today did a barre w/o. Didn't feel like jumping around! Lisa, yay! You've been released! I meet a lot of people that only hear what they want! Sometimes, I'm one of them! Ronne, Frank? I haven't heard of that movie! Have fun with friend. They are doing arthroscopy, kind of cleaning out the joint in my hip. Roxie, we had wild weather here last night! We were hanging out in the basement, then that started to flood, so back upstairs! Just a little water thank goodness, but enough that we have to clean the whole thing! The tornado didn't form tho, grateful. Jody, are you a working machine now? Hi Murphy! Just errands today, DH's birthday is Thursday! Have to get busy! Mary
 
Brrrr, it was cold here this morning, 55 in the house, I HAD to turn the heat on a bit. Sometimes it's just too cold to get on w/o clothes, but I did a pilates w/o. I felt stiff everywhere, I think the cold made me feel stiffer, guess I've been spoiled by some of the warm weather.

Roxie, I saw the vibram law suit info. I'm not all gagga over them, it will be nice to get some $$$ back.

Ronne, thanks for clarifying that Frank was a movie, otherwise who knows what I would have thought. I think I"ve been neglecting legs too, PRS2 really took it out of me yesterday. Sometimes I feel like it's a double edged sword, stretch legs to try to get more flexibility but they tighten right back up when I walk or w/o. The cold weather isn't helping!

Mary, do you have a sump pump in your basement? I couldn't imagine ours flooding.
 
Good Evening,

The bosses are headed for Colorado tomarrow so peace and quiet at work until Tuesday. I did KCM's TLC Boxing after work don't know if I am going to do planks.

Lisa-I would like to see if I get any results before I share what she has me doing if it doesn't work its not worth mentioning.

Mary-sorry you got our storms didn't mean to share.

Ronne-I have a tendency to skip leg work so I am right there with you.
 
I will read more and come back tomorrow w/ personals but for now, Mary, I know you will be keeping everyone on their toes, you better! Don't be an easy patient and err on the side of making life wonderful for caregivers!
OK, so I went to see a movie w/ my mom. Heaven is Real, based on book my mom has read, a true account. On way to theater for this spiritual afternoon, waiting at stop light, Mom (not even driving- I am) screams, MOVE IT, ASSSSSHHHHOOOOLLLLLESSS about 2 seconds after the light turns green. Sigh.
 
Hi all

Jody - that made me laugh!!

Roxie - enjoy the peace and quiet!

Lisa - I was a bit confused there, I read your first w/o as without! Yeah, I was cold the other night and put the heating on for an hour. I don't care if it's May, I was cold!

Mary - sorry about the flooding. What a pain! Have you got plans for tomorrow?

Film was good - very quirky. Good to see friend as well.
Did CLB today. I quite enjoyed it!!
