40's new in January 2014

Hi all

Jody - I can't believe that my phone (a Lumia) takes better photos than my camera. Shows how I've fallen behind!

Lisa -you've got to be patient with yourself. Just think how much you can do now compared to a few months ago and, even better, how much more pain free you are.
Yes, lunch/walk would be great! :D
I've booked myself in for a massage next Friday when I'll have finished the rotation!

Mary - not heard of that film. A comedy? I'm trying to use my phone a lot at the moment cos I got some free credit with it, but that runs out at the end of the month so then it'll be back to gathering dust!

Murphy - thinking of you - hope things are OK.

Did a reduced version of 4DS KB today. Not enough time for 71 min workout. So did the cardio and core and missed out the legs, 45 mins.
Did a couple of hours work last night and will probably have to work again tonight.
 
Good morning! Did plyo legs, disc 29. Easier that CLB, the breaks are longer! Lisa, I wanna come to lunch too! You need to give yourself time, this is a long journey. It will all come.....in time. It's the waiting that sucks. Ronne, I did that w/o the other day, thought it would never end! It was a kids movie, and in no category a film! Lol! It was cute, had a good message. Jody, is shape up he tabata one? I have been eyeing that one. Roxie, did you get lost at work? Murphy, let us know how you are, we are thinking of you. Have to clean out the kids dresser drawers today. They just cram everything in, makes me a little crazy! Have a good day! Mary
 
I did KCM weights today, I really liked this one, probably because only 2 sets each of UB weights, and I like the standing ab work in between the weights.

Mary, isn't it amazing how things pile up? I cleaned out our closet/drawers a few (ok, about 8 yrs ago), it all needs cleaned out again! I tend to hold onto too much stuff!

Jody, it's CO's broncos that are in the super bowl. Frankly I'm tired of hearing it all. LICh was good, amazed how I didn't get out of breath at all (far cry from when I started back after surgery).

Ronne/Mary, I know I have come sooooo far and I am sooooo proud of myself, I never thought I'd even get to this point somedays. Its nice to know what I've gone thru is all normal for healing....drs never really explain how tough the recovery really will be, all they care is nerves unpinched and fusion solid....the muscle recovery has been a lot, and I was in shape!

Just got back from fingerprinting, they have volunteers do it. They say I don't have very pronounced fingerprints (first I've heard of this and i've had it done serveral times). I'll chalk it up to the fact I've worked my fingers to the bone all these years at a computer! :)

Off for my massage....I'm ready to purrrrrrrrrr!
 
Good Evening,

Sorry for being MIA, I didn't workout yesterday my toe that was bruised woke me up in the middle of the night throbbing which it hasn't done before so I wasn't up for a workout. After work yesterday I went to the doctor to have the toe looked at and she thought there was blood behind the nail so she burned a hole through it and hit flesh but nothing came out so now I am on and antibiotic and antifungal to see if it clears up and she recommended I wear a bigger shoe thinking that was the original cause of the problem so I own a half size bigger wore it for my workout but not the rest of the day I watched GS today and he wore my shoes around. I did KCM's TLC Boxing1 think I am going to switch to her workouts for a while.
 
Hi all

Roxie - sorry to hear about your toe. Sounds uncomfortable. I always find KCM good to turn to when I'm not that keen to work out.

Lisa - I really like that one too. Feel like I work hard in a short amount of time. The premixes are good cos you can have different things between the weights sets.

Mary - that's good to hear about Plyo Legs, that's on Friday for me. I always use much lighter weights than Cathe in that one.

Did a combination today to save some time. Did the superset premix from GS CT and followed it with the timesaver premix from GS BSB. Took about an hour and felt nicely worked.
Still working solidly, pretty dull apart from that!
 
I did KCM bootcamp this morning. It was above average but not one I think I'll reach for too much. Got back on my work computer and my mgr had started a chat 10 min earlier (even though I marked myself away), I replied 'Hi' but haven't heard anything, he went 'away' status then. I just have a feeling......then heard he isn't in office and that there is another lay off coming. Is it possible I'm hit again? whatever, not sure if I make more that $2000 if I go on new unemployment claim and my weekly benefit would be reduced. Does anyone here know? Anyway, I'll keep you informed.

Ronne, that sounds like a good combo. Massage therapist said my neck wasn't near as tight ( I cut out crunches, lifting head too much, etc, that's why I'm liking KCM for her standing ab work). I was more tight in upper chest she said which is good because that is what should support my neck? Anyways, I just need to keep being realistic :)

Roxie, that does sound painful! That's weird that it would be caused from smallish shoe? When I hiked and toes hit the end when going downhill, there was some pain until the nail broke away from the nailbed (which didn't take long since I'd bang them up the next hike). Then the nail looked thick and yellowish, but wasn't fungus, more like runner's toe.

Mary, well if we pick the nicest spot for weather for lunch we should really go to Jody's. She can have her Cathe besties over :)
 
Good Morning,

I did KCM's KB1 and added the standing core work. I definetly need to ditch the Rykas they really bothered it.

Lisa-they say it is like runners toe only its really bruised at the nail bed and it is pulling away but no new growth the side is also turning white so that is why they are treating me for fungus and cellulitice or old infection. When DH was laid off the second time it didn't affect his unemployment it stayed the same. Bootcamp isn't one of my favorites either I would rather do Circuit Burn.
 
Hi all! Today did BS CB&S, just couldn't face GS! Lisa, I can't believe they would go to all this trouble to get you hired just to lay you off a week and a half later! That makes no sense! It's crazy! How many KCM's did you get? Roxie, I'm sorry about your toe. To wake you from sleep, it has to be bad! Ronne, good for the work tho! More money to travel! Jody, how's school going? I go back on Tuesday, just got an email for tests I have to take. But I have to wait for an "invitation"! Haha, can I RSVP , no thanks? Hi Murphy! Crazy cold here again, at least we didn't get the snow. Hope everyone has a good day, Mary
 
Hi everyone!

Mary, I skipped school today! I needed to spend some time w/ my mom and she is going away for a a bit- and its been weeks since I've seen her. You guys are just going back? I have nearly 3 of 6 weeks of final ICU rotation done. Lots of papers and research and doo dads to turn in.

Roxie, I like the idea of Ryka's but haven't loved any I've owned. New Balance and Avia seem better. The Reeboks I have now are OK. Nike, Not for me. Anyway good luck w/ your toe, it sounds painful and something that needs to be taken care of!

Lisa, that would be crazy, or would it? You seem to have a handle on what to expect. I have that BC but haven't done it yet. Thanks for your book help today via FB. My mom is happy and has lots of new stuff to read.

Ronne, I wonder if I will get back to longer workouts once I'm done w/ school? For now, I fully support any and all timesaver premixes. Do you think you will still use your camera now that you have a nice one in your phone? I don't know that type of phone you have, it must be a Euro thing.

Today I did the Shape Up (yes its the Tabata one) workout 1. It was great, I'm keeping it in the player for a few more days.
Waves to the MIAs~~
 
Good Evening,

DH and I got new phones today and I am so excited there is and app that tells me exactly how many calories I need to burn a day to achieve my wt loss goals.
 
Hello

Jody - woo, naughty! :p I might tell on you ... The fact that you are managing to work out at all with your schedule is a triumph. Hope you had a nice time with your mum. Another DVD to add to the growing list, it sounds like.

Lisa - your workplace is mad. Like Mary says, at least you know what to expect! I had a toe problem with some old walking boots as well. Took ages for the nail to grow back again.

Mary - yuck, exams! Glad I don't have to do them anymore.

Did CF today. All the way through, which I haven't done in ages. Matched all the weights, and did all the jack push-ups. Go me!!
Going to take a bit of work with me when I take DD to gymnastics tonight. By the end of next week, it should have settled down to manageable levels again.
 
Good Morning,

I didn't get up this morning it was cold and my bed was warm so no workout yet. The bosses won't be in until this afternoon so peace and quiet for now.

Lisa-the app is called S Health part of the Samsung Galaxy S4 package.

Ronne-after hearing from Lisa and you I have decided not to refill antifungal makes my stomach hurt and it's hard on the liver.
 
Good morning! Today did XT legs. Jody, now you are making me want to spend some money! It will have to wait tho, I went on Athleta the other day, they were having a sale and I couldn't resist! Roxie, have they paid you? Are you doing the 4 days or 2? Ronne, these are silly tests, the hospitals require them, privacy issues, etc. I admire Jody, because I don't think I could do school again, or more that I don't want too! Lisa, have you heard anything about work? Hi Murphy! Not much today, cold, snowing. It is winter tho! Have a good day! Mary
 
Mary-yes they finally paid me and I am working 4 days except this week I took care of GS Tuesday. I only work until 3 except on Fridays I work until 5.
 
I needed some good cardio so I did PRS2 (no breaks!, I think I may soon be ready for a riser!, of course, no jumping (never will again), maybe more reason for a riser.

Mary, never heard anything, I'm thinking maybe it was about me requesting reimbursement for mailing via tracking service my fingerprint cards (this is just a guess since he never got back to me and later my contr comp gave me procedure for reimbursement once they verified I was allowed to get reimbursed.....POLITICS! drives me crazy!). I know the type of tests---even I have to take privacy (HIPPA (is that the acronym?) if I support a health care acct. I ended up buying 13 KCM w/o's....I should have used the logic my family used at sushi on Sunday....we can't get 13 sushi rolls it's unlucky, let's get 14 :)

Roxie, You must have gotten a galaxy phone? I have that on my phone, never checked it out, now I'll have too. I kept wondering if my toenail had a fungus since it looked awful, but after talking and showing to some runners, they said it was runner's toe, even the little toe gets thick and funky feeling when I cut it, I was assured it is same thing just can't see as well since it's so small.

Ronne, I'm guessing that maybe the rumors of lay offs is for the employees not the contractors this time. I still don't know what I'm supposed to be working on (no one talks to me! and since I still have to go thru the approval process I can't see anything for the acct I was hired back on to support). I have a mtg tomorrow, maybe I'll get some insight.

Jody, you are amazing with going back to school. Do you think I could do the tabata KCM one? That's why I didn't get it, I wasn't sure if modifying to LI would be worth it.

Well, I should get back to work....staring at my computer for nothing to happen :) Actually, supposed to go with DIL to look at houses they are looking at, they are hoping to be out of my house by Sept. A bit longer than I thought it would be, but it's been ok and actually we've gotten closer.
 
Hi all

Roxie - sounds like a good decision. Good work set up as well.

Lisa - that's nice that it's worked out with DS and DIL. Wow, 13!! The last of the big spenders! :)

Mary - subbing GS legs I guess?

Had a complete 'mare trying to work out this morning. Got it done in the end. I've got Plyo Legs as a download only on my PC upstairs, so I use home sharing on the laptop on iTunes to run it downstairs. Anyway, I hadn't set up home sharing on the new PC so had to do that (which now involves passwords, bla, bla, bla). Finally got it all set up and it started playing but then kept stopping. Wouldn't play more than a minute or so at a time. So I just pulled up the list of exercises and worked through them myself, jumping ahead in the video when I needed to.
Taking DD to the orthodontist this pm for a consultation. She really wants braces!! :confused:
 
Good morning! Tabatacize, done. Ronne, we are waiting for our youngest to get braces, he's 12 and still has 11 baby teeth to lose! She probably sees all her friends have them and she wants them. Best money we have spent on the older ones tho. Roxie, do you have to be at work at 7? I was supposed to go back on Tuesday, but it has been delayed as the students don't have all their paperwork done yet, so I have another week off. Can clean more! Lisa, are they looking to stay by you? So glad it has all worked out for all of you. Jody, are you working all weekend? Hi Murphy! Still crazy cold, and tomorrow we are supposed to get a lot of snow. I feel like a bear, eating and hibernating! Mary
 
I did KCM split sessions, pretty straight forward, more of a heavy weight w/o, but I'm sure I still got something out of using 5 lb dumbbells for UB :confused: i didn't feel as weak in left shoulder blade muscles that also wrap around toward arm. Massage lady and I both think there is muscle damage from the nerves being impaired since c6/7 was bone on bone in places.

Roxie I have a the SG4 too. I like it pretty well.

Ronne, Did you have braces as a child? If her teeth are bad I can understand why she is excited, I was excited to finally get mine (I was slow to lose my baby teeth like Mary's and was in high school before I finally got them, so happy my parents got me them even if they couldn't afford it...I had huge gap between front teeth---before it was popular---some models are making it rock these days, and my canine teeth were waaaay up high like fangs!

Mary, they are staying near since DS job is right by us. Houses are soooo expensive! One place the property taxes was double what ours is! They found another pocket of more reasonable new home builds to look at Saturday. I'd love to hibernate in my bed, I feel guilty for my dog, so try to do something with her (if not a walk, we set up a cheap inside agility course). I'm making progress on my weight, being VERY good with food, I'm now back to my weight I was pre-neck problem. It isn't super low, but that was when my weight loss effort from having sedentary job was derailed. So I'm hoping to be able to stay on track!

Hellos to all, I really should do some work.....like putting in my timesheet, other than that, my thumbs are tired from twiddling them so much :)
