40's monthly thread until June 30th

Good Morning,

I did KCM's Body Shop 2 and it was killer and then I did CK25 WK5 D3 and I was suppose to run for 20 minutes but I could only make it 10 before my shins started to hurt so I ended up walking the rest of the time, I also did 80 squats. We are headed to see GS this afternoon his daycare is closed so he will be at home.

Ronne-we had a really nice time at the lake DD didn't listen to her mother and she got a nice sunburn.
 
Hi all! Sorry I didn't make it yesterday, life got in the way! Had to take MIL to doctor's, she's fine, DS had an appointment also, then we had to mulch. I did fit PH in too! Terrible storms last night, tornado warning and storms time after 2. I did XT legs today, so simple, I love that one! Ronne, congrats to DD! DS started summer gym today so he won't have to take it next year. Lisa, are you working from home yet? Are the fires near you? Looked scary on the news. Roxie, you are making me want a boat! Murphy, so sorry about the basement. So frustrating. Jody, school done soon? Have to get to shower to pick up DS, have a good day! Mary
 
Hi all, I did supersets from BB today, no wo yesterday which reminds me that I didn't really turn into rotation girl, nor did I stick to the morning Zuzka I projected I would do several months ago.

Mary, putting down mulch is a great workout! I don't think I don't remember xt legs well. I have so many Cathes I can't sort them all out but I did like everything from xt. I've got classes til the 24th. Clins are done.

Roxie, enjoy gs! I wonder what makes some peoples shins burn w/ running? I've another friend who has the same but I don't remember experiencing such a thing.

Ronne, it's nice to hear good reports on kids! I haven't done HR in a while either.

Lisa, I didn't post yesterday cuz I skipped workout and felt yucky and tired from a sugar blitz. It seems as if the timing of all of this surgery is good, even if the actual circumstances are bad. I want to make some different smoothies, do you mostly use the vitamix book or just whatever? I hope you are feeling ok today.

Hi Murphy, did your basement dry out? I go thru phases when I'm a little more miss than hit on the workouts, too. Lol, at least I'm always reading about it!

Jody, I'm not real creative with the Vitamix I really only use it for smoothies and margaritas. And I'm not that creative with my smoothies. The whole fruit margaritas recipe I got from the book, never would have dreamed if up.

Got the tens unit today and got it in my sore muscles in my back between shoulder blades. This might be the best $100 I ever spent. I have plans for using it on lots if different muscles. My whole UB hurts. Even my forearms.

Mary, fires aren't super close but close enough that we have a lot of smoke from them.
 
Hi all

Lisa - wow!! Is the cage off now?

Jody - well, you've banked up the workouts recently so you're allowed to draw on them!

Mary - so what are the other kids doing to fill their time?

Roxie - she won't be so keen on sunburn when she's our age!!

Did an Amy Bento today, premix of Hi Lo Cardio Knockout. It has a good ab section with weights.
Went out for pizza last night to celebrate. Got amazing reports from DD's teachers. So proud of her.
Going out again tonight - for dinner with BF.
 
Basement appears dry. It has rained every other day so far and more is expected. I am nervous about putting the basement back together, but I need to get my exercise area back plus we have company coming next week and I need to have the house together. It smells much better down there so that is a plus. We did not have lot on the floor so it will not be a pain to get it together, just a nuisance. Waves to all.
 
Good Morning,

I did KCM's Body Training 1 Standing Legs and then 30 minutes on the TM. I woke up totally wiped out I don't know what is going on all I wanted to do was go back to sleep and I barely had energy to workout. GS came right to us yesterday its nice he is no longer afraid of us and he cried when we left made us feel special.

Murphy-we could use some of your rain.

Lisa-nice scar at least its going to be a small one.

Ronne-she is regretting that sunburn already.
 
I did sections from BM2- w/u, first two step segs then two segs from the blast and weighted legs. 30 min? I had to cut short but I really had fun while it also felt effective from a metabolic point of view. I want more of that. Family day, maybe bbl.
 
Short post. Ronne, still have to wear brace for 3 more weeks. Or my bone stimulator that I have to wear 4 hrs a day for 3-6 mths. They guarantee fusion if you wear it o I will because I don't what to not fuse and need revision surgery!

Hi all! Today did a firm w/o. I'm sorry @ the pool with kids. Hope all is well with everyone, will have more time tomorrow! Mary
 
Good morning! Today did AOLIH, fun. Lisa, your scar looks good. It will heal nicely. 3 more weeks? That should go quickly. well for me! haha! Have you ever had the pomegranate margarita at Chili's? I love that one! Murphy, glad about the basement. Did you get a lot of that rain? Beautiful here today, supposed to rain all day tomorrow. Jody, those blasts in BM2 are hard, I think I tried it....once! Roxie, you at the boat? Ronne, did you have fun with friend? We went to the drive-in last night, we saw Man of Steel, suprisilingly I liked it! Maybe pool today, have to get out and get my dad something, I procrastinated! Hope everyone enjoys their day, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I did KCM's Circuit Blast 2 and matched her in wts and the I did CK25 WK6 D1 and my shins just don't like running.

Mary-no boat today DH is running really late today and its suppose to storm later, we won't get to go tomarrow either another stormy day. Have fun at the pool.
 
Eat, sleep, recover, seems that's all I do these days. :) with each passing day I get closer to the new normal for me :)
 
Lisa, nice to see you recovering. Roxie, for some reason I don't know if your run outside or on treadmill? I think TM? Mary, now I want to do AOL but also BM2 again just to make sure I loved it. Murphy if I had to abandon my exercise area as often as you have I probably wouldn't be able to get back in the groove. Ronne congrats to dd nice reports. My dd starting on BCP for irregular cycles and to help with break outs- worrisome.

I did LIC today- to me its a circuit w/ upper body focus to balance out the BM2 I did. I thought of a throwback rotation consisting of my original Cathe's. The no name series, Low Max, PH, MIS and BM1. I think I enjoy repetition of beloveds more than variety. School work all day~~
 
Hi everyone

Jody - what's BCP?

Lisa - recovery is what you need. You're doing fine!

Roxie - well done on the weights!

Mary - I don't think I'll be bothering going to see that one. I can't take a man in a cape seriously! :D

I'm absolutely shattered, finding it hard to keep my eyes open at my desk. I didn't sleep well last night. We went to a food show and I ate a load of rubbish really (ironic, as it was called Good Food!). We had fun but it's caught up with me today. Did KCM's Bootcamp, both workouts in the 55min premix. Enjoyed it!
Had a great night out with BF on Friday. Just really good to catch up.
 
Good morning! Rest day yesterday, BS B&T this morning. Will try to get some cardio in later depending how the day goes. Ronne, BCP is birth control pills. I have always wanted to go to one of those food shows, they look like so much fun! I am not a Superman fan, I was surprised I enjoyed the story, but of course the action scenes were endless! Jody, DD should do well with the pills, they are so different now than when we were younger. Is this your last week of school? Roxie, are you getting rain today? Lisa, how are you feeling? Do you wear the bone stimulator at night? Murphy, you have company this week? Yesterday we had brunch with inlaws and dinner with my folks, nice day. Today have lots of running with DS and getting my roots done, hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Good Morning,

We went to the lake yesterday and I drove the boat while DH skied, before we left I walked on the TM for 45 mins. I too didn't sleep well the weather alert kept going off so I feel wiped out today. I will do KCMs new kickbox again today hopefully it will go better then the first time I did it and then CK25 WK6 D2 I run for 10 minutes walk for 3 then run another 10 then cool down. I applied for a job at Payless Shoes Saturday so I am hoping to hear some good news from them.

Jody-I run on a treadmill I try to walk outside if the weather is nice.

Mary-thunderstorms this morning started about 3 am.

Ronne-hope you sleep better tonite.
 
I'm getting the muscle soreness under control between use in the TENS unit and hot rice microwave bags. But discovered I must limit by typing even on the phone or they start hurting more. Imagine your worst doms times 50 having it constantly from your neck to your shoulders to your delts to your bra strap.

I'll join the I didn't sleep that great club. Just couldn't get comfortable on my side so had to incline on my back. About 3 a.m. I always plug in the TENS unit it really helps me get back to sleep

Mary, I split up the time where the bone stimulator 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. There is no way I could sleep with that around my neck in addition to my neck brace.

Roxy, waterskiing sounds so much fun I used to love doing that in Florida when I was a kid

Murphy send some of that water on our way sounds like you have too much water we don't have enough. We have fires. I'm probably be like Jodie and not work out of much too if I had to abandon my exercise area like you have had to

Jodi what worries you about BCP? Just the fact she could be more promiscuous now? I kinda don't think that will happen kids are going to do what they're going to do no matter what

Turns out my sis has significant disc degeneration in her lower back. She now goes to get a facet block injection. Sound familiar?
