40's new in January 2014

Hi all

Roxie - sounds like a nice weekend.

Lisa - enjoy your KCMs. Sounds like the left hand isn't talking to the right hand with work!

Mary - I didn't really prancersize was a real thing. I presumed it was another one of Jody's fun words! :eek: Glad you got a basketball break!

Murphy - well done on CSS. That's one of my favourites. Shame it's not in this month's rotation. So, you've got to wear that thing for a year?! Wow, that's a long time. What did you think of Flextrain?

Jody - sounds like it's bad round you as well. Hope you're recovering from your mega workdays.

Had a good weekend. Had a nice dinner with friends. They brought loads of ski stuff over for us to borrow! Also went to a ski sale yesterday and picked up a couple of things. We're almost there.
Didn't feel too good yesterday so glad it was a rest day.
Got GS CT done on Sat and today was SC. I actually enjoyed it and I'd been dreading it a little.
Just had to turn some work down, not enough hours.
 
Good morning! Today did PS B&B, then did the floor cardio only from AOLIH. Ronne, your trip is coming up soon! I bet DD is so excited! Roxie, I just love when they sleep on me! So sweet, he must feel so safe and loved with you! Lisa, hope work is going ok for you. I have 2 more weeks. Jody, hope all is well. Murphy, hello! Not much today, was supposed to get my hair done, but she is sick today, maybe tomorrow? Making beef stroganoff for dinner in the crock pot, it smells SO good! I'm starving! Off to the kitchen! Mary
 
1st day back at work, oh joy. Thankfully I didn;t go in (and my contr acct exec was fine with that), but what a nightmare trying to set my machine back up and getting all my userids. Weird, no one really knows I'm back or provides me info on wtf I will really be working on. So, guess I have to tell them (and sometimes they still don't get it). 5 of the 11 people they laid off are coming back and everyone has to go thru this. Prev ids locked and the worlds biggest computer company can't get them unlock so we are all getting new ids. Did I say it was a nightmare? So glad I'm getting a massage tomorrow! I didn't workout (my neck is hurting, I think from trying to do too many crunches/abs) I did walk the dogs in the wind 1.75 miles (I needed a work break). 8 hrs of pure frustration today. I think I've decided I don't like computers after being in the biz 31 yrs ... LOL oh, cleaning lady came, gave me # of personal trainer that has helped her with getting strength back from her neck problems. $30 an hour at my house. I think I might do it. Sorry for lack of personals, pure exhaustion after a day of pure frustration and wondering why I care if no one else seems to.
 
Good Evening,

So much for double workouts I just can't seem to get out of bed and I am so tired all day long don't know what is going on with me but I am exhausted all the time. I did intervals on the TM for 30 mins instead of X10 but I might try and get that in tomarrow.

Lisa-sounds irritating.

Mary-I love cuddling with him and it makes me feel good that he is comfortable with me when he doesn't see me that often.

Ronne-it was a great weekend, DD has been looking at wedding dresses the last two days.
 
Hi all~
Roxie, good job on getting tm in if not x10. Tired seems to be going around.

Lisa, sorry such a yucky start. Didn't dh set up your last laptop? Sure sounds like a mess. I got my kcm's too but haven't done them. I want to do cardio blast for comparison to your experience. I previewed it today while cleaning up.

Mary, when you post about the stroganoff I always want some. I think I made something last time you posted, prob about a year ago? It didn't turn out yummy so I guess you will have to save some for me. : )

Ronne, sounds like a nice weekend. Score on the ski stuff.

OK, if you didn't catch Original - Prancercise: A Fitness Workout - YouTube the first time around the first few minutes of this will show you why it was so wildly popular. : )
Oh, just realized she's from Fl south of me, I thought it looked like FL.

Jody - Oh my god!! Where has this woman been all my life?! I've always wanted an exercise system I can do while wearing jewellery! I didn't even laugh, just stared open-mouthed.

Roxie - that doesn't sound good. A doctor visit?

Lisa - what a crap day. How ironic that they can't get you set up.

Mary - you're going off-rotation with the cardio!! :D What do you think I could sub for Flextrain tomorrow? I was thinking the whole body premix from LIC.

Did GS BSB. Wasn't feeling very enthusiastic about it but felt good once done. Sometimes, you've just got to get through it!
 
Good morning! Today did CLB, hard! Ronne, I think that would be a perfect sub, I haven't done that w/o in forever! Jody, I now! I make it like once a year! It was good tho! Hope all is going well! Roxie, maybe your body and mind need to adjust back to working? It is exhausting trying to keep up with everything. Lisa, hope today flows better with work. Enjoy that massage! Hi Murphy! Have to take Wheezy (dog) to the groomers, she looks like a teeny tiny sheep dog! Have a good day! Mary
 
Feeling punchy today. Did KCM Body Training. Workout 1 was standing legs, WOW, did I sweat. Liked how it worked my balance too! So if my balance is good does that mean my core is strong? Workout 2, floor work, I only did the leg sections, a couple of interesting moves worked glutes good! My back of neck is feeling better, so that means I did overdo it with abs fri/sat, boy it took a while to get back to normal! I'm not planning to work as hard as I did yesterday especially after my massage, but I am making waves because all the doc to get started with ids is bunk!

Jody, DH only sets up basics, to get the special stuff I need, it's up to me. I'll get there because I'll start ROARing to people to help me. For some reason, hear me Roar by Katie Perry comes to mind, either that or me being a Leo and 2014 being my 50th!!! Aaaack, the youngest of the baby boomers turn 50!!!!!

Roxie, you and I have to get our minds wrapped around working, working out, eating right and losing weight!

Mary, speaking of dog's. I let my dog hang out in my w/o area this morning, she clings onto my leg in the beginning thinking its a game, then after the sweat gets going she likes to lick me (especially when I'm on the floor)...she's a licker, yuck, not my face!!!!! Anyway, was funny when doing leg lifts on floor, she looked at TV and tried to catch their legs!

Ronne, Cathe sure uses those GS in this rotation this month. What a score on ski stuff! You will have a blast, gosh I'm jealous!

Hi Murphy and bchgirl, how's the w/o's going?
 
whoa Roxie, not like you, take care of yourself.
I've had a good day but want to complain about hence whys and also helpful people who go on and on and on and on and try to give you a lot of information and help you even though you are about 10 steps ahead of them and also teens who have to rely on each other in order for everyone to get to their designated location/school/ work and sometimes it isn't pretty.
Ronne, I had the exact same reaction. Mary, I want more Chinese food or your Strog. Lisa, I have Body Shop in my new batch not Body Training...??? Glad you got a good workout. Aww I miss my dogs, glad you had a workout buddy.
 
Hi all

Roxie - sounds like you need the break!

Jody - don't you think teenagers are even more absent-minded now they have phones? It's like their brain is in their phone and they don't need to bother!

Lisa - sounds like massage heaven again. Get ROARing! Body Training's good esp the standing one. The floor one isn't that demanding, good for a quieter day.

Mary - I subbed the sub! I decided that with 2 lots of SC and the GS this week that was enough weights/compound stuff so I did yoga instead. Good to stretch out and lots of strength work with arm balances anyway.

So, feeling good after my yoga. Off to the cinema again tonight with a friend. 12 Years a Slave, it's going to be tough ...
 
did kcm body shop, like the compound moves. Only did one set of UB exercises, neck still hurting. :( when base of skull hurts, massage lady says the scm muscles are attributing to it. here is good video of what those muscles are and how to strengthen: 5. Strengthening the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle on Vimeo PT never gave me that exercise! and this one: http://www.cadencesportstherapy.com/handouts_files/FrontNeckExercise-SCMMuscles.pdf I may start doing these before bed if my neck isn't hurting.

Ronne, if you like yoga, I'm sure you'd love massage. I explained to lady how I always avoided massage because I'd go in with no neck pain and leave with neck pain. She said since I had instability in the neck (c4 slipping over c5), it made since since massage stretches muscles. I sure hope I can get the muscles strengthened enough to do ab work, etc. Actually I think I really got them hurting because I didn't know what was happening on KCM sometimes, so while laying on my back, I'd lift my head and turn it to look at TV to see what to do. Little did I know I'd be in the pain I've been in last few days! I sure am learning a lot!

Roxie, well, at least you aren't making excuses. Maybe Ronne is right, take a rest day, don't feel guilty, pick up the next day. The important part is not feeling guilty! Honestly, I think we could all learn from Ronne (and Europeans), take lots of holidays, skip w/o's and not feel like you have to catch up, etc.

Jody, sounds like you are tired of school (and the people there?), hence why you are feeling that way. :)
 
Hi girls! Today did FT. Roxie, you aren't going to do 3 workouts are you? Enjoy your day off! Lisa, thank goodness for the massage. So glad it's helping. Ronne, I kind of just avoided SC, and I'm subbing other UB workouts for GS. I guess I'm making up my own rotation! I'm supposed to do AB tomorrow, I'm all ready trying to figure what else to do! Jody, I just love "helpful" people! Maybe, they are trying to impress you? Knowing how smart you are, maybe they are intimidated and want to kind of say. "Look at me!?" Hi Murphy, Good day to all! Mary
 
Hi all, no workouts planned til maybe Fri, its been about a week or maybe more?

Lisa, that is awesome that you have found more things you can do to keep getting better. New workout moves you do have to look and see what is going on though. I do find KCM to be pretty easy to follow though.

Mary, it isn't just me she is helpful with. Its more that codependent controlling let me fix you and help you and once you listen to me and do what I say your life will be enriched and better mixed w/ martyr look at the cross I must bear.
She was concerned about devil worshipers in OK building a statue and insisting that it be displayed in the capitol alongside something (Christian). Fortunately, I managed to not joke that is was my people rising up (I used to live in OK and was one of the only persons there w/o a church home, which is the first question people in OK ask you).
Anyway, I'm rambling...sorry. She's very very nice, I just felt irritated last eve.

Roxie, did you get in your dbl workouts? Give yourself credit for getting sleep and drinking water that is important too!

Murph, how's it going w/ the other rotation?

Ronne, it was a phone issue...dd2 txt dd1 and she didn't notice it! DD2 was waiting on ride.
 
Hi everyone

Jody - I feel your pain! :p

Mary - I've come round to really like SC actually. It's not too long!

Lisa - I'm flattered to represent a whole continent! :) It might be just me tho! Guilt doesn't work for me - it makes me worse. So I have to be nice to myself and then I put the effort in (and that applies across life for me). If I think I'm a bad person I just give up. 'I'm horrible so what's the point/I'm fat so what's the point/I'm lazy etc etc' - you get the idea.

Did SC and Ab Circuit yoga abs. Had a very bitty day of work, not really got down to anything. Had a few tasks to sort out, like ordering the shopping online (we don't usually but they're offering a free bottle of champagne!!), and ringing my credit card company for a refund. I ordered something for DD for Christmas and they sent the wrong thing and ever since I've been trying and failing to get my money back.
 
Good morning! Today I did AB, faced the challenge, didn't like it tho! Ronne, can't pass up free cocktails! I agree about SC, I think I need to give it more chances! Jody, I know the type! Lol! I have never been to OK, something I shouldn't be proud of, I need to travel more. Hopefully when the kids are on their own, DH and I can buy a winebego and just roam the country! Roxie, how are you? You must be at work! I miss you here during the day! Lisa, how is work? Getting more situated? Hi Murphy! I went to DSW (shoe store) they were having winter sale, I was so excited, I got a pair of rykas with memory foam! My feet are so happy and they were 70 percent off! Little things. Have basketball and a tobagganing party this evening, hopefully not too cold. The kids will be off for the next 4 days. Have a good day, Mary
