40s - not hair! 30/01/12

I just didn't feel like working out and rushing around to get to work, so I'm taking a rest day! I feel I deserve it!

Jody, I've never been a hat girl (somehow that European gene never came over from my ancestors :) ) I disguised it ok, just wish I could wash my hair better, it's a bit hard since I don't want to agitate that area or get too much water in it.

I'll be back later for more personals....
 
Hello

Murphy - wow, you're going on the road trip! Lucky you! I'd love to do that.

Mary - how frustrating! Enjoy your dinner.

Jody - wine-drinking rest day sounds great! I'll book myself in for one of those.

Lisa - fingers crossed for your results. And for DH's interviews.

Roxie - sounds like a good one. I'll add that to my future list!

Started writing this post then got distracted and came back an hour later! Did Trisets UB today. Definitely some improvement there - it wasn't too bad (I don't do all the push-ups!). Music might have helped. I used the vocals only track on the DVD and put Manic Street Preachers on my iPod!
 
Good Morning,

I think I have decided to throw in the workout towel I keep gaining and losing the same 2lbs just doesn't seem like its worth the effort. If I decide to workout later it will be KCM Cardio Blast #1 Athletic Step.

Lisa-you would look cute in a hat.

Ronne-we can book a wine rest day together.
 
I did trisets UB today, voice only as well.

It is drizzling now, but if it clears up later I will do a tkd walk jog.

Roxie, the only time I have ever lost any significant amt of wt, it had a lot more to do with diet than exercise.

Champion catalog came out...finally some red sports bras so maybe I will see some in the stores soon.

Waves to all~~
 
Hi girls! Did LL today, quick and painful! Lisa, hope your head feels better soon! Good idea on the rest day. Jody and Ronne, I never have noticed the music in that workout. Funny what each of us hears or doesn't! Roxie, don't jump off the wagon! Maybe you need a rest? Murphy, I am green with envy! I will send you my flip, then you can post the whole weekend for us! I'm excited for you! Today I have science club, basketball, and high school meeting, all in 3 hours! Wish me luck! Mary
 
Roxie, I'm gaining/losing same 1 lb. I agree with Jody, diet gets me farther than exercise. Maybe you need a rest day too, seems counter intuitive---best to just keep the body guessing.

Murphy, lucky you! So will you meet up with any Cathlete there?

Mary, sometimes I envy all your kid "fun". I like the empty nest but if I end up with working less I'm not exactly sure how I'll fill in the time. I had so many more things/people last time I wasn't working (kids in HS, walking dog, gabbing with my neighbor who has passed)---I've just been feeling a bit blue about all I don't have anymore and trying to find the NEW things I have (right now focusing on DH job and crossing fingers for LONDON).

Jody, what Champion bra do you like? I've been looking again for bras and not sure which to get. I'm just an A but need to control the bounce!

Ronne, I get distracted on posts a lot too! You may have missed my earlier since I probably snuck it in on you. sometimes when I get distracted and come back to it, I end it quickly since train of thougth is gone by then :)
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did KCM Cardio Blast Athletic Step didn't know it that well but still got a good workout. Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.

Lisa I like these items but I will just look at Target for one. The Shape ones are nice, but don't come in colors in the A size.
Did you ever hear Phyllis Diller describe her bra size? 36 Long. LOL. I like cami straps more than regular ones but like the coverage of the Shape.

Roxie, hang in there.

I did a 45 min run/walk sprint this eve while dd at TKD then did some push ups and dips. Makes up for the lackluster feeling of un accomplishment felt previously after earlier workout. I'm not in a groove w/ trisets just yet.
 
Hello

Roxie - hang in there. Perhaps you need a break or pull out something old that you haven't done in ages.

Jody - I prefer more bra shapes, as those type always interfere with my HRM. I end up cursing that and not concentrating on the workout!

Lisa - did you have lunch with your BF as planned? At least you've got time to do things like that now.

Mary - sounds like a busy day!

Having a big freeze here. The weather's been really mild but the temps have plummeted. Really bad in the rest of Europe but not so bad here. Possiblity of snow this weekend which DD would love! Did AT today - found it a lot more manageable than last time. Big difference was I did it straight after getting up with no food last time and today I did it at my normal exercise time of 11am.
No plans this weekend, a bit of shopping (some new make-up and possibly some jeans if I can find some) and that's it.

Have a good one everyone!
 
I did AB today, man oh man, those spiderman mtn climbers just wipe me out (I only do about 1/2). We have about 10 inches of snow and another 10 coming, woo hoo! Work from home day! Snowstorms are kind of exciting as long as I don't have to get out in them :)

Ronne, I prefer sports bras with "cups" instead of compression too. I had being mushed. My old current bras (I'm not fashionable like Jody) have a band that support better even if the C cups do wrinkle at the top since I don't fill it out anymore :) Yes, I did have lunch with my BFF, had a great time, we had Martini's and lunch then went back to her house and just visited about HAIR! She has fine, straight hair and after one day of using my recommendation it's soooo much fluffier. We visited for 7 hrs!

Jody, I agree MO's form sucked on the pushups! You should post the link here for those that aren't on your FB. Do those really control the bounce? I would prefer going to Target to get them too, everytime I go they are all picked over, plus the one target right by me is closing.

Mary, not sure if I said, they plan to offer DH so we are now waiting on HR. Geez things take forever....the hiring mgr wanted DH on board by the 20th but that ain't gonna happen since HR takes 4 to 6 weeks! We just want to see the $ amount so we know if he's going or not!

Roxie, hows the weather where you are?

Hi to Murphy too!
 
News Distribution Network - Shared Video Ellen and Michelle Obama do push ups. In my opinion, Ellen beats MO (and how gracious of Ellen not to point it out), but good for both of them anyway.

I will wait and see if I a red one at Target or wherever materializes, since I already have a different sports bra for every day of the week and then some. Sometimes I get carried away if I start filling an internet shopping bag. : P

Lisa, best wishes on the job for DH, what an exciting/nerve wracking change, but it sounds all for the good!

Ronne, jean shopping = torture most of the time but pure joy if you find some you like.

Roxie, I agree, maybe you need an active recovery week? The Primal/Paleo point of view is that chronic hard cardio contributes to carb cravings. IDK, all I know is I need to up my plants.

Mary, your job job and mom/wife job sure keep you busy. I don't know how you find time to fit in your workouts.

Murphy, I hope you are having a good week.

I should insert completed workout here but haven't done it yet.... : )
 
Good Morning,

We had thunderstorms all night long and its suppose to rain and then turn to snow tonite and snow tomarrow only talking 1-2 inches though. Tonite will be KCM Muscle Definition #2. I am due a rest week in three weeks only plan on doing cardio or if the weather cooperates walks outside.

Jody-now you have me wanting to go to Target and check out sports bras.

Lisa-hope everything goes ok for dh.

Ronne-I hate jean shopping 1) because I am short and 2( they don't fit the butt right.
 
Hi girls! Happy day! It's Friday! Today I did 2 miles on TM, gave that up because it kept resetting itself, 2 miles on the spin bike and the floor work from Squeeze Stronger. My legs are burning! Lisa, how is the snow storm going? Will you be stranded in the house? I guess human resource departments are the same everywhere? Roxie, hope you don't get LIsa's snow! Jody. I'm lucky I get off work at 1:30, kids home at 2:45, I work out in that hour I have in between! I try not to shop online, I would probably max out our cards! I need self control! Ronne, stay warm! BIL is in Brussels, says he is freezing! Murphy, lhello! Have a good weekend everyone! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did KCM Muscle Definition #2 and then the abs and they were killer.

Mary-they took the snow out of the forecast.
 
Good Morning,

KCM Circuit Burn #2 done and 30mins on the TM. I have also vaccumed 2 floors, started the laundry and cleaned one bathroom now its time for a shower and grocery shopping.
 
Kick Max for me. DH did shovel max....20" of snow!

Roxie, I need to do grocery shopping....problem is everything was bought out on thursday before the storm, not sure if they are stocked back up again! I stocked up thursday on pizza, so guess what's for dinner? :)

Mary, my glutes have DOMS from AB yesterday...thought of you with all your LB work. Made my form questionable for some of the kicks :)

Jody, what did you end up doing for your workout? or should we talk hair instead? :)
 
Everyone is cleaning today. I am waiting for someone from Freecycle to get my old TV today. 32 inch Toshiba works great but a dinosaur, couldn't sell it for 25 bucks on craigslist.

Funny Lisa mentioned hair, I can't believe that topic was a whole week ago! I was thinking that this morning...I should get some of those products today. I will have to go back to the old thread to remember which ones.

I tried to do Intensity yesterday, it looks so fun, but I just ran out of steam 20 min into it and I wasn't even doing max effort. I was just tired. I was in bed by 930 last night and didn't get up til 830 today.

Supposed to do STS total body....hmmm, we'll see if that manifests.

Also need to do Walmart Max. Wow, does this day sound fun or what? Gak.

Roxie, when I read that they "took snow out of the forecast" I wondered how in the world did they have the power to change the weather....lol, then realized they merely adjusted projections regarding the chance of precipitation.
 
grocery shopping done...they had food! we won't starve!

since hair got brought up, here's my signature curl when the protein/moisture balance is good.

Also I encourage my fine haired straight friends to try out some of the things from last week's posts. My BFF is amazed at her hair's transformation!

Hi girls! Getting ready to work out, I am procrastinating! Lisa, are you able to drive! Are the streets cleared? My legs are sore, that is why I am procrastinating! Jody, I hit Walmart up today too! Not my favorite, I prefer Target, but they don't carry turtle food! Roxie, I also went to the grocery store. Errand day, cleaning will start after work out. Tomorrow will be football and food, that is why I need to work out today! Hi to Ronne and Murphy! Talk to you later, Mary

OK, I don't consider a mere hour sandwiched between working my ass off and running around being super mom all that lucky or bountiful! I think 6 days out of 7 that would be Nap Time! Anyway, I admire your energy and ability to follow a routine! : )

I have to write my speech today. I just gotta get it behind me. It is not helping my Grumpy Funky mood.
