40s Mayday!!

Good Evening,

I went for a walk this morning and did my planks. DH has been working on replacing the carpet in the boat so I watched. It was and ok day out but not good enough for the lake.

Jody-it was a little cool only in the upper 60's but not as windy as the last couple of rides.

Lisa-we aren't even going to get out of the 80's this week so no AC here.

Mary-some day it will warm up.
 
Coming back to post my workout. I did KCM split sessions, the lower body part. I watched the Cathe Live teaser and it left me with a craving for Intensity but I didn't have enough oomph to tackle it with 6 hours of sleep. But I put that dvd in the pile by the player. I was going to do it tomorrow, but I'm working a 12 hr day tomorrow. I could say no I'm not available, but don't want to pass anything up.
 
Jody, how do you like Split Sessions? I'm meh about it. Do you walk a lot at work? Maybe you can ease the guilt by claiming all the walking at work as a w/o? It's a longish, but moderate hike. 10 miles of trails to some rock formations (so no big 'goal' to get to), depending, maybe we will try another trail that goes to a waterfall....a bit worried about snow in that area so guess it will depend on how the first area is. It's in the 80's, but that big snow storm we had last week really wrecked some hiking plans. We are longing to be in the mountains so will see how the conditions are.
 
Good Morning,

Last day before bosses come back. I didn't feel like working out this morning but chose KCM Plateau Buster 1 not a light workout and I will do my planks.

Jody-make sure you don't overdo yourself and don't let them take advantage of your good nature that happened to me when I was working in the nursing homes sometimes did double shifts back to back because no one else wanted to work.

Lisa-we are suppose to hit 85 but wind 40mph.
 
Roxie that is exactly what happens. People call in sick and they need someone who will come in, plus there is a weird 7-12 shift that people don't want to do b/c it is short, very busy, and gets cancelled a lot, plus, if you are scheduled for that shift, it is hard to pick up a real 12 hour shift on the same day.
I'm glad to get the hours- I want them to take advantage of me, but ultimately I hope for something more stable.
Good job on the workout even though you didn't feel like it. PB isn't a walk in the park.

Lisa, I walk all day at work. Yesterday on lunch break I did the stairs with a co worker. She keeps db in the dept and does lunges and deadlifts, etc in her free time. She has a pair of 20's there actually. I liked Split sessions upper but thought the lower was so so. However, it has been so long since I did LB that I was sore and tight all day yesterday from split sessions the day before! So I guess it was effective enough!
 
We had a great time hiking yesterday. We did 2 trails at about 8000 ft level. Total of 7.5 miles and 2200 ft elevation gain. Was tired, hot, sticky, but had so much fun! Today I walked the dogs 1.3 miles, had my massage (thought I really didn't need it but boy she found the spots in my neck that I didn't know was hurting...she said that's a good thing), and I'm going soon to the gyno, ugh. She is retiring and referring her patients to another dr that I used to have that delivered my kids! I only quit going to him because I can't stand driving to the hospital area in Boulder.

Mary, how are you doing after surgery?

Jody, that kind of job and not working out is better than a desk job! So don't beat yourself up too much! We have plenty of time to get Cathe ready :) My cardio wasn't too bad yesterday, until all the pollen got into my lungs and I was wheezing...normally happens this time of year. All night long coughing and it tasted like a cold. I hate that, feeling better now.

Roxie, We had a couple of gorgeous, hot (anything over 80 is hot to me :) ) days, but back to some rain. Not any snow or mud on trail so will head up higher next time.

Ronne, are you bogged down in work or forget you were doing something(that's entirely possible)

laters! Off to have fun at the gyn, oh joy!
 
Good Afternoon,

I did KCM Total Body Kickbox 1 and my planks. Bosses were back today and they seem to be in a good mood. Headed out on the boat tomarrow.

Lisa-its been up to 90 both days and tomarrow is suppose to be the same but the wind is finally going to die down.

Mary-hope you are doing ok.

Jody-the extra money is nice.
 
Hi all

Just got bogged down in work (and pleasure).

Roxie - glad the bosses are in a good mood! Enjoy the boat. PB is not an easy workout, I must get back to it, haven't done it for ages.

Jody - well, it's the good that the money's coming in and you're getting your face known. Hopefully, they'll remember you when something better comes up. And yes, walking at work definitely counts, much better than me sitting on my backside all day.

Lisa - glad you enjoyed the hike, sounds great. Sounds like a lot of work.

Mary - hope everything is OK!

Well, the weekend was nice. The trampoline competition was fine actually. For once, it was in a nice venue (hotel and leisure centre), so while we were waiting DH and I sat by the outdoor pool and had a coffee and read the papers! DD came 9th out of 16 in her group, so she was happy.
Monday I went to the theatre in London. I didn't get home till 1am!
Work has picked up again, I've got a tight deadline so I've just been keeping my head down.
Got some yoga in at the weekend, then yesterday I did TBT LB. Today I'm doing KCM Shape Up, mixed up premix 1. Got a bit of LB DOMS which is good.
I like SS, I did LB the other week.
 
Good morning! Hope all is well with everyone! Just a quick hello to let you know I survived! Doing better today, anesthesia finally wearing off. Was a little rough Monday and Tuesday. Started PT yesterday, just range of motion and isometric stuff. Jody, be careful with all that work. They won't ask other people to pick up, just you cuz they know you'll say yes. I don't want you to get burned out! That's the mother in me coming out! LIS! You hike look beautiful! Ronne, did you get on the trampoline? Roxie, 80's sound hot here! Hi Murphy! Well, have to start trek to restroom! Lol! Have a good day everyone! Mary
 
Mary, glad you are checking in! Did they give you an incentive? I started one on a 30 yo w/ hemorrhoids. Sheesh, not EVERYONE needs one! Head desk. Anyway, it sounds like you are feeling sore. HUGS!! You are so fit- I hope it means your recovery will be speedy.

Ronne, glad you have steady work but also had nice weekend with hubs and dd.

Roxie, did you see the new KCMs are shipping?

Lisa, that hike did look nice. How was the gyn-ee?

I did Intensity- all the step parts so about 35 minutes. I used one riser, I usually use two. But it was right for me at this time.

~~~
 
I did MM today! Haven't done it in ages! Walked 2.85 miles with the dogs.

Jody, I was all pumped going to gyn-e, I felt like my old shorts/top was falling off of me, and lo and behold I fit into my next size down! I don't think I've had them on for at least a couple yrs. So, I go in thinking I'll be down in weight from last year when I'm sure I didn't fit into them, and I weigh more instead! Hard to believe it can be muscle since I haven;t lifted heavy, but I have been working out consistantly vs last year when it hurt too much pre surgery.

Mary, I don't know the nurse-speak, but I believe Jody had typo? Incentive? I can't imagine what it should have been. Enema? :) Too vivid an imagination? Hope your PT is going well. I have problems with nausea after anethesia, ever since anethesiologist (sp) now gives me an anti-nausea medicine in with it, I have no problems. So at least I don't have that dread factor (there's too much else to dread). I think we need a picture of you and your brace!

Ronne, that sounds like an awesome venue, almost like a day away instead of at a competition.

Roxie, send your wind East, not West! :) We actually just had some thunder that rumbled the house, dogs were like 'what's that?'
 
Good Evening,

I did KCM Body Shop 1 before we went to the lake and planks after.

Lisa-we are suppose to get those thunderstorms starting tonite all the way through Tuesday. It started out windy today but then it went dead so it was really warm and muggy on the boat.

Mary-take care of yourself.

Jody-I did see they were suppose to arrive at her place today but I didn't know they were actually shipping.
 
Hi all

Roxie - great minds think alike. I did Body Shop 2 today.

Lisa - it's not about the number on the scale, it's about your clothes, so congrats!! And on doing MM. I bet that felt good.

Jody - Any bit of Intensity at any time is an achievement. That step section kills me!

Mary - good to see you. Glad to hear you're not feeling too bad. Hope you make a good recovery.

Weather's broken here, had some heavy rain. I'll probably get wet going in to town to meet DD. She's having her bottom brace fitted today.
Did Body Shop 2, it feels like these newer KCMs really zip along. I really like them.
 
My butt was kind of dragging this morning, so I decided not to feel guilty about taking a rest day. I have so much to do around the house and just keep putting it off, the messy house with everyone here makes me just give up! I did Grocery-max, laundry-max 3 times, and helping DS with his budget program. Also trying to get DS bike all ready for him to take to KS.

Ronne, The Denver area got a huge hail storm (some got 8 inches) and rain, where I live we got nary a drop! And it isn't all that far from where it did rain. Maybe today.

Roxie and Ronne, I think you guys just copied me on Body Shop as I did it last week I think :) I couldn't even muster a KCM w/o today, I think partly was a slight headache I had too, maybe we will get rain today.
 
Good Afternoon,

Another rotten night of sleep it was just to hot and muggy but I refuse to turn the AC on yet. I have a headache from the storms we had today so all I felt up to was a 30 minute walk on the TM and I will do planks but stay on my elbows today.

Lisa-I think its time I took a week off. We got those storms today but I don't want anymore.

Jody-really looking forward to the new workouts I printed off the worksheet for Muscle Up.
 
I did TTM today. I considered YBB but I wanted Cathe familiarity.
I was hoping to get cancelled tonight but instead am working all night. You guys are right, I'm hitting burn out! I've gone in for some amt of time every day but 2 days for the past 2 weeks and my two days off were after all night shift. Done bitching for now. Lisa Roxie and probably Mary- feel better! Ronne, stay dry. We have beautiful weather but I haven't been out in it in ages!
 
I did Cross Fire today, was a puddle of sweat at the end. Gonna walk the dogs a couple miles too.

Jody, TTM is tough! Sometimes you just need Cathe, funny how that is! Try not to burn out with work.

Roxie, DH won't hear of not putting on the AC. That man can freeze me out! I still have to be careful of cold air blowing on my neck, so I sleep with a couple little blankets over my top half and a sheet over my bottom half.

Ronne, Cross Fire seemed to zip along today, maybe because I haven't done it in it's entirety and didn't know what to expect.
 
Hi all, glad to see everyone is working hard! Down in the dumps today, went to PT today. They told me I won't be able to do my videos for a year. I'm just trying to absorb it right now. She did say I could do upper body as long as I'm sitting in a straight back chair. That's a positive. Have to wrap my head around all this. I know things could be worse and I shouldn't complain. I was thinking it would be 4-6 months, not a year. I hope everyone has a good weekend! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Another day of headache due to the weather more storms ran through. I just did my planks today I will try to catch up tomarrow.

Mary-so sorry to hear you can't workout for a year that sucks.

Lisa-DH and I neither one want to turn it on because its getting down to 60 at night its just the humidity.
 
Mary, what a bummer :( I know all too well how you are feeling, but you will get thru it all and it will be worth it in the end. Is there any other type of w/o you can do? You know, kind of how I went to pilates? Please don't stop checking in with us! We will help you thru it! Do what they say!

Roxie, it would be different if we could open the windows, too many allergies lately, I never used to have allergies!
