40's new in January 2014

Roxie, I'm checking out the noom coach app. It has pedometer and go's tracking if you walk outside, and you can log your workouts and food
 
Good Evening,

I did CK25 WK1 D2 run/walk intervals this morning and tonite I have been getting stuff ready for my family christmas at oldes DDs can't wait to see my sister and her family.
 
Did Supercuts. Felt good and only skipped about 5 minutes worth - more so to catch my breath. I think XTrain is my favorite of her recent series releases. I have tried more of the last set to be released. I do like the leg ones but then again, legs are my trouble areas. Well, all over is my trouble area but we won't talk about that. :)

Stay warm and waves to all.

Murphy
 
yea, Murphy, hi! good job on SC and making it sound easy~ ha, ha.

Hi everyone, I have barely been able to read the thread since my last w/o and post, on Tues? I did Shape Up KCM w/o 1 and again I loved it. Intense, effective and then over before I started checking the clock. I have a new / old tv to do my w/o on. My dad brought me an old style non flat screen 32 incher hand me down. You can't give these things away nowadays but it is in perfect condition. I've done 12s on Tues, Thurs, Fri

Mary, thought of you today when I saw a cleaning biz sign, LOVE TO CLEAN on car magnetic biz sign. Roxie I hope you have a fantastic day w/ family. I just saw my bro at xmas, I wish it was more often. He is fun and funny, I enjoy his company. Lisa I think I have about 14 KCMs, I wonder where we overlap? I don't go for boxing too much but oddly chose step boxing. RE braces, both of my dtrs were going to college (as HS students) with braces on teeth. Mary, they pulled some of dd baby teeth in order to facilitate the braces. Ronne, I'm lame but well intentioned.
 
Hi all! Yesterday did BS B&T, not sure what I will do today. Jody, I will be cleaning tho! You are so busy, I feel bad you are working so hard. I'm amazed by you. Murphy, I use XT a lot also. Hope all is well with you. Lisa, congrats on the weight loss! Very impressive. I need to work on that! Roxie, how was Christmas? Ronne, what did you get into this weekend? Crazy snow here and the wicked cold is returning. Today we have a birthday party, I have to study for a science test on matter for 6th grade. I just hope the kids aren't off school this this week! I like my quiet! Hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Hi all

Mary - congrats on finishing the rotation! How long did your kids have braces on for? Or do they still have them?

Jody - wow busy!! Yeah, no one wants those old TVs anymore.

Murphy - Yes, I agree, Xtrain is one of my favourite ever series.

Lisa - I just a brace for my upper teeth, but not a fixed one. Yes, quite a lot of her friends at school have them now.

Appointment went well on Friday, they were very thorough and it looks like she's going to get top and bottom. They haven't mentioned cost yet so hoping she'll qualify for NHS treatment (ie covered by our health service).
We had a very quiet weekend, weather was terrible and rained all weekend. Watched a bit of TV, played a few games, nothing special.
DD's at home today. She's got a temp and has been sick a couple of times, some kind of virus I think.
Had a rest day on Sat, then did GS C&T yesterday and GS Legs done today. 2 more days to go of the rotation!
 
Good morning! Today did RK, I did the combos at the end, I wasn't very good at them, didn't feel like the flowed very well. Yesterday just som Pilates, something relaxing, so I didn't have to reshower! Ronne, I think the kids had the braces on for, well, one was 6 months, the other was 2 years. I hope DD feels better and you don't catch it! How is everyone else? Crazy cold, still snowing, have to get to the grocery store, I think I have eaten everything! Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi all, busy weekend so didn't get here. Sat I did do KCM Stepboxing, pretty good, sunday rest day, my scm neck muscles were really hurting. Today I did KCM plateau buster - not sure how it's a buster (esp since I can't use heavy weights), except for the compound moves, but it was good. I've tried all my KCMs now. Weekend was busy with sisters calling (oldest sister is now saying she can't afford to come out and climb a mountain for my 50th birthday this year---I'm not surprised, heard from other sister that my brother is REALLY not wanting to buy hiking boots just for one hike he doesn't want to do -- uh, believe me, he has the money, oh well), It will end up being me and my mountain climbing bff (unless you all come :) ) Also busy with kids looking at houses, they found one, much more reasonable.

Ronne, they told me I'd have my braces on for 2 yrs, I got them off in 1.5 yrs because I did everything they told me to, I wanted them off! I was surprised hearing of kids pulling off their braces when I would be in there? My son had his for 2 yrs, still has a permanent bottom retainer (wish they would have done that for me because my bottom teeth shifted).

Mary, I soooo needed my rest day yesterday, my close to 50 yr old body was begging for it. :)

Jody, I have a few of those kind of TVs :) The one it the bedroom, I wanted the armoir (oh geez, how do you spell that? gah), I wanted it moved and set the big TV on it so I could see it in bed without straining my neck (ie, made TV up high). Was told it's too big, would be easier to mount flat screen, uh, no, not really, just move the darn furniture and it's good enough for me....DH and DS ended up finally listening to me :)

I must get going, between twiddling my thumbs for work, I need to put some chicken soup in crock pot since it's a snowy day, and I really need to make some dog treats (I feel I've been neglecting her).

Waves to Roxie, Murphy, I think that's everyone, if not, it's my old mind :)
 
Good Afternoon,

I baby sat GS this morning he has another ear infection and was throwing up. I haven't worked out yet woke up with a migraine after a severe shift in the weather last night we went from 57 degrees to 34 degrees in 1 hour and the wind gusted up to 50mph and its cold today. I will do TLC Boxing later.

Lisa-I really like all of her workouts except lift.

Ronne-I had my braces for 3 years and my youngest DD had hers for 3 years.
 
non workout checkin for me. Does watching count? Persian Zumba - YouTube a zumba bolly belly fusion w/o that would be fun to lead. I've got clin tomorrow and worked til 11p since there were 2 call ins. Lisa, IDK about how you'd like Shape up, can't tell what it would be like w mods and youre mostly lower wt but also not nothing above the head? Also, been meaning to ask you if youlike your sonata? I'm eekeing out a few more miles on my odyssey. Roxie I hate 50 mph gusts, esp cold ones. Mary, how did your studying go? I still help dd w/ research papers prn. Rone, I have a post office trip in my near future.
 
Hello

Jody - interesting video, not for me though! :p BTW, I have Ab Circuits.

Roxie - poor GS. The first few years are just a long round of illness aren't they?

Lisa - I find PB quite challenging, especially some of the premixes. The cardio only one is tough. Are DS and DIL hoping to buy?

Mary - quite good that you don't have to go to work with the snow.

Thanks for all the info on braces. I can't remember how long I had mine for. I'm just not looking forward to months of orthodontist visits and nagging DD to clean her teeth properly. I'm so lazy ;).
Did 3 chunks of Tabatacise and then Stab Ball abs. Did my first one-legged pike! Well, my leg was a bit up in the air, anyway ...
 
Morning! Today did LLA, with the bonus barre. Jody, you must be exhausted! Take care of yourself! Ronne, is DD better? I totally get your laziness! Sometimes it gets so exhausting "reminding" everyone what they need to do and then if anything goes wrong, who gets the blame? We do! Lisa, what a great idea for your 50th! I hope everyone comes thru! Did they put a bid on a house? Roxie, hope GS is better and you don't get it! Hi Murphy! Kids off school today, have to go think up something fun! Mary
 
I did LIC today, started it and thought, let me add risers, and woot, I did it! By the time the last step combo (all the hamstring curls), I had to limit arm movements because I didn't want to flare up left shoulder blade more than it already was.

Mary, so are ya coming? lol I know I'll be able to hike, just worried about hauling the backpack...gonna discuss with massage therapist today. Sunday my neck hurt so bad (guessing from stepboxing? did I twist my neck that much?) anyway, today I feel goood, but I know the massage therapist will find quite a few sore spots still.

Ronne, my DS was thankfully very diligent with brushing teeth etc, it's the oldest one I'm nagging (along with his wife) to go to the dentist!!!! It does get tiresome trying to remember for everyone, why does it always have to fall to the Mom? I had super low energy yesterday, so maybe I just didnt put my all into PB to get the most out of it, hey, at least I did something, right?

Jody, by modifying I'm not sure I'd get enough out of it, unless i'm going for a low energy day :) hang in there and eat good! I made myself kale chips!

Roxie, I didn't get lift, thought it would be too much for me. Not sure about her new heavy one that she is doing either, I am all in for the home cardio equipment new one though.

Mary, yes, they found a house they want, they are getting a new one, so they haven't broke ground on it yet, gives them time to get more money together too. Their house is going to be bigger than mine (if I don't count the finished basement on mine), and they are getting a gourmet kitchen, uh, I said to DH all day yesterday whining.....I don't even have a gourmet kitchen and I have to cook dinner, they are getting a gourmet kitchen and she hardly cooks! WTH? She better start cooking more just to save money for the house payment! I've told them that too!

gotta run, almost massage time!
 
Good Evening,

I did KCM's Body Shop before I went to work and then did CK25 WK2 D1. I didn't want to get up this morning but boss lady sent me a text so since I was awake I decided WTH.

Lisa-I plan on getting her two new workouts hoping it will help the boredom of the TM.

Ronne-he sure manages to pick up everything that goes around.
 
Hello

Roxie - good to get a workout in before work!

Lisa - congratulations!! I know how much that means to you :). Good news on the house as well. Guess they'll be with you for a while longer tho!!

Mary - no, she's still off school. I think she'll be OK to go back tomorrow tho. Hope you came up with something to entertain the kids.

So, January rotation is done. Managed to get rid of Christmas belly and am feeling much better.
Work is also slowing down, which is a relief (till I start panicking about not having enough work of course ;)).
 
Hello girls! Today did LIC (peer pressure from Lisa), for some reason just really hard today? Maybe it's the cold weather? Kids home......AGAIN! Roxie, enjoy your day off! Ronne, is vacation coming up soon? Lisa, how how is your step? I would prefer 2 inches! Ha! 6 is as high as I go tho, that's enough for me! They are building? How exciting! Maybe they will fill it with grand kids for you? Jody, hope you are getting some rest! Hi Murphy! Gonna make these kids clean today! Have a good day! Mary
 
I did GG today. The lunges where you rest the knee on floor and then raise up I could never do, now I can! Getting stronger (at least in the legs :) )

Mary, I use 6" on step, so now I'm back to where I was (I even use 6" on LI ones too). Hope the weather gets nicer soon! Warmer here but WINDY, long term outlook doesn't look to good either. I'm ready for warmer! Massage therapist and I are trying to figure out why base of skull hurts most days (my levator scalpular ---muscle along top from neck to shoulder quit hurting, yea me!). Anyway, she says I must be holding my head too far forward, well, last night as I pondered, I realize it didn't start hurting until I laid on my cold pillow, once warm, i'm ok, so that's one thing, then as I was going thru the pill cabinet (neck hurt bad last night), I saw the empty bottle of Cymbalta, I haven't taken since 1st of year, and that's when I notice this pain more, so that may be helping my brain interpret the pain differently, so I'm refilling that and yea, they have generic form now, $5 vs $40! Price was one reason I didn't refill it since I wasn't sure I was getting any bang for my buck. Fingers crossed I start feeling better, I'm sure if it was summer I would! Glad I inspired you for LIC, you inspired me for GG (cuz you love legs), I'm learning to love them too since my UB is limited.

Ronne, flat tummies rule! I notice mine is flatter especially when I lay down, feels sooooo much better! Hoping the kids get things settled with house soon, been a pain trying to figure everything out to qualify....it's so different now with the housing meltdown we had. Turns out can't use DILs salary as she is paid via 1099 (kinda like self employed) and they need 2 yrs of that, she's only had 9 mths. So DS trying to qualify on his own. Yes, they will be with us a while longer, it hasn't been bad having them, but somedays I wish for just us oldies rattling around in the house.

Roxie, do you know what you got DOMS from? My waist is really feeling it from all the KCMs, that's what I like about them, she works that area good while standing, but I needed a break so back to Cathe. When GS gets older he will have a better immune system. Mine was sick a lot in daycare, but so healthy once they got to real school.

Gotta run, happy hump day!
