Just starting the thread. I woke up with massive sore throat. It's like adding insult to injury. So no w/o for me, craving some hot soup. My first illness of the season, right when I'm at my lowest point!
 
Hello! Lisa, I'm sorry you are getting a cold. You are having it rough, I hope it all turns around quickly. Rest day so far, had basketball banquet and cleaned the house. Maybe some yoga in a bit? I'm missing that hour of sleep! We didn't win last night, maybe next year? Jody, have fun at school tomorrow! Roxie, is the house all together? Ronne, how was your party? Murphy, what are you up to? It is almost 70 here? Will be 30 on Tuesday?! Crazy! I have some windows ope right now, the breeze feels amazing. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I woke up with a headache again and took pill and ended up vomiting a couple of times and then youngest DD and her BF came down and we went out to eat and then took them to see the lake he is a big fisherman. I managed to keep lunch down but my head still hurts. Its cold and cloudy here.

Lisa-sorry to hear you are still in pain and your throat hurts.

Mary-sounds like another busy day for you.
 
Weigh in was ok on Sat, I'm down to around 126.5ish, I need to keep eating clean. I did step from Intensity Sat morning and lo hiit+BC pm from Intensity this morning and a Zuzka (#59) this afternoon. I decided I want to go into the Light, Zuzka light that is. Ha ha, I crack myself up sometimes. Anyway, while I am doing the xtend classes, I will use her zwows as my extra (if any) workouts. I've been wanting to try them but haven't been able to let go of the Cathe. So now seems a good time to try them.

Hugs and get well soon to Roxie and Lisa. Lisa, re my afternoon on Fri with friend, she ended up in ER with vertigo! That is what I get for talking about passing it around on the thread, I guess I was a carrier. She's better now.
Mary, I'm testing out repaired ac cuz it is >80 in the house and prob 85 upstairs, its cool out, I should open the windows instead. Did you end up doing a yoga? Hi Ronne and Murphy. I hope everyone has a nice week.
 
Hi all. Finally got Supercuts in. Each time I do it I remember that I did it before. I keep thinking that I have not done it. ??? I am obviously losing my mind. Everyone is talking about the weather. It was nice-ish yesterday, around 45 or so. It has been in the 30's so we are all happy to see a temperature in our age range. :) It snowed a few days ago and it is supposed to be in the 60's soon? WTH.

Lisa - feel better soon.
Roxie - glad you kept some food down, feel better soon too.
Mary - I thought about you this weekend, DH tells me at the last minute (while we are out at our second party of the day) that two of his friends are coming over in an hour. I really wanted to smack him. Anyway, I thought about you - if I cleaned like you I would not have had to rush home and clean my house like a mad woman! :)
Jody - when I stop being jealous of your weight I will congratulate you on your weight loss. ;-) I hope your friend is feeling better. I liked your carrier joke.
Ronne - how did things go?

Murphy
 
Hi all

Murphy - that's funny about Super Cuts. I don't think that's happened to me yet!

Jody - OK, what is a Zuzka?? Sounds weird!

Roxie - poor you, hope you're feeling better.

Mary - you've taken a rest day? Wow, that makes a change!

Lisa - I think you just need to lay off the workouts, however hard that is. They just don't seem to be doing you any good at all.

Had a nice day yesterday. Lovely lunch (aubergine parmigiana and winter fruit crumble). Got earrings and a book. DH & DD baked a cake as well (raspberry and white chocolate!!). We didn't go for our walk, as it was absolutely freezing. Temps have dropped here again. Just about to put my fingerless gloves on - thought I'd done away with those for this winter!

Did CBS today. Upped a few weights and powered through a few more push-ups. Feeling strong!!
 
Good morning! Well, never got to the yoga yesterday and my day is all out of whack today! The twins didn't have to go into school until 10 this morning, there was the graduation test for the sophomores, so everyone else gets a late start, little one left at 7:45, (he was annoyed they got to sleep!). Got them up and going, the furnace guy was here, it was loud, anyway, it needs a new motor, we just bought the darn thing, but thank God in heaven it is covered under warranty! He's coming back shortly, but that is messing up my workout, I don't like to work out with people in the house that I don't know! So, I have to figure out when to work out! Lisa, that picture cracks me up! How are you feeling? It's almost Wednesday! Answers are coming. Ronne, sounds like you had the perfect day! Murphy, it's an OCD issue I have with cleaning! I get anxious when there is mess or clutter, so it's really just self preservation! Jody, hope school goes quickly. Is Zuzka on YouTube? Roxie, how are you feeling? Better I hope! Well, he should be here soon, have a good day! Mary
 
Sore throat gone, neck pain still here. No w/o again, but am doing 2 miles over the course of the day on the elliptical (no arms). I had a semi-tough night with the pain (put heat/cold on), ended up taking a percocet and 2 advil at midnight, just took 2 more advil, maybe I'll feel a bit better now. I really do not like taking drugs.

Ronne, I just feel so lazy! I saw pics of some friends in London, brrr, it looked cold! You are the superwoman of w/o's, along with Jody!

Mary, doubt we'll have answers Wed, but hopefully one step closer to finding out what's wrong. I have never had it go on this long (normally only a couple weeks). I'm blaming age.

Murphy, I agree, Jody's weight is easy to be jealous of. Actually I think I'll take ANYONE's body here over mine right now! Uh, wait, maybe not Mary's I'll be trading UB problems for LB problems....sorry Mary!

Jody, what did they do for your friend? I've thought about going to ER to hopefully get MRI sooner than Wed, but honestly I've lost faith in 1st line medical help. My neighbor had to go to the ER 3 times before they finally diagnosed her not with nausea but found the cancer in her small intestine. After my experience with the PA in my PCP practice, I'll hold out for an expert. Is it back to the grind week?

Roxie, I hope you are doing better!
 
Hello! Did the cardio from DM, furnance fixed, that's a relief since it is supposed to go down to 30 tonight, 56 last night. Hello to all, have to go do the dishes! Talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I had a long day got up early to go to a dr appt and saw someone who had just hit a deer the poor thing was trying to get up with 2 broken front legs on of the passengers got out and shot it then I get to my appt and my cholesterol is to high again 256 so I really need to crack down on my eating and getting my workouts in. I decided to start CK25 again along with Xtrain. I got to see oldest DD at her work. I have a job interview on Thursday to be the manager at the clothing store so keep your fingers crossed. Tomarrow I will get BS CB&S done along with Legs.

Mary-please come and clean for us. It is getting cold here again to but suppose to warm up again.

Lisa-sorry to hear things are still rough for you. I sleep number bed showed up today can't wait to try it out tonite.

Jody-good job on the wt lose.

Ronne-I am tired of the cold weather too.
 
I did Ride tonight, figured that shouldn't aggravate the neck if I was careful, aw, who am I kidding, I didn't want to w/o, but I needed a shower (it had been 2.5 days...can't believe I'm admitting these things). so if I had to shower might as well sweat. I do feel better (emotionally), but sad too of all I can't do. Oh I also decided to get up and do something because I couldn't find a good position (laying down or sitting) where my right arm didn't go numb (yes that's the other side....another new development along with dizziness in past week).

Mary, get that furnace fixed in time for warmer weather? Or is that wishful thinking?

Roxie, is it a well known store?

Ronne, it is going to be so hard, it's kind of like losing a best friend :)

Murphy, welcome to the forgetful 40s! hey, there's a title!
 
Yes, back to the grind. Dang it, I forgot to pray on way to clinical to be able to keep my mouth shut. *head desk* all day long.
DD eldest had to ride home from her TKD coaching job today on bike. I'm like ahh, no biggie. Well, It took her an hour and a half. (7 miles??) She did get lost plus she doesn't exactly power thru it.
Younger one wants new job, they have her scheduled 35 hours this week plus she is taking 3 classes at college, plus she ends up doing a lot of dishes. She's more the cashier type~
Lisa, they did a CT scan and blood work and kept her overnight. It has resolved on its own but she's had lots of health issues this past year. I, personally, think it was the last of the negative mojo leaving her body and now she is going to be healthy, nausea free and pain free. : )
Ha, don't hate me b/c of my wt, I think I regained it all this weekend after weigh in on Sat.
Mary, you crack me up. You are always off to clean. I did a declutter of a book shelf this week and got rid of 4 grocery paper sacks of games and text books.
Zuzana = ZuzkaLight = formerly of bodyrock= this is the workout I did Sun = ZWOW 59 - Core And Abs - Real Time Workout -Time Challenge - YouTube
Roxie, that is so sad about deer. I know that is a hazard for drivers but that must have been hard to see.
 
Hello

Jody - I had a look at that workout. Sheesh! I've had a look at the bodyrock website before but I don't like the look of it. It looks like soft porn to me!

Lisa - think of it as a temporary break from workouts. When you come back to it, you'll be really fired up and it'll be like a new collection of DVDs! Loved the photo!

Roxie - hey did you get your money from your old job? Good news on the job interview.

Mary - that's a good quickie workout. Hope the furnace didn't cost you too much.

CLB plus core 2 today. Had to avoid left lunges to the side. Work very quiet so going to do a bit cleaning and reading instead!
 
Good Morning,

I finally got some sleep and it felt wonderful. I still have some pain in the lower back and hips so I just need to keep adjusting the bed. I will do BS CB&S today and try and get legs done.

Lisa-the store is called Factory Connection and I think my brother said there was one around Greely somewhere. I had never heard of it until I went in to look around but the lady that is interviewing me is coming from a corporate office.

Ronne-yes I finally got my last check and as far as I know it cleared the bank.

Jody-deer are a horrible nuisance but it was hard watching it suffer.
 
Good morning! Did a leg workout from Meso 2, it was a quick one. Lisa, doesn't hanging over the handle bars bother your neck? Tomorrow is almost here, I hope they can find the problem quickly and fix it quickly. Roxie, good luck at the interview. Is t a clothing store? We have a lot of deer around here, they get so scared and startled. Ronne, furnace was only $65! Hopefully this motor will stand the test of time. Jody, maybe DD was sight seeing? I have always wanted to be a cashier! Don't know why, maybe talking to people, etc. just don't want to do returns! Hi Murphy! DH is off today, going to lunch. Have a good day! Mary
 
I've done no w/o, wonder why I continue to post here :)

Mary, I didn't lean over very much, I try to keep my neck in alignment with my spine as much as possible. Another online friend (from my hair group) had neck problems in past (she had her's fused), and advised me to keep head/neck in neutral position as it is possible there is bone on bone due to disc deterioration. We have snow today so good you got your furnace fixed, it may be coming your way.

Sorry, no more personals, I just don't have it in me, feeling a bit blue.
 
Lisa, the doctor will be able to help you. You come here, not just because you workout, because we are friends and we listen to each other. It is almost Wednesday and you will get some answers soon. This is not forever. I'm thinking of you and praying for relief for you.
 
Oh Mary, thank you. Had another bad morning, I finally got the pain back under control. I think it's just how this has dragged on, you tend to be able to put up with it less and less. DH sees how much this is wearing on me. I do hope I get some answers, but really don't know if we will know much until we get the MRI results, I still have to get a dr to order a MRI! Anyway, how about this....I didn't w/o today because I didn't need a shower :p
 
Lisa, I hope you get some answers soon. Are you saving the shower for the doc appt? Let me know if actually working out becomes a prereq for checking in b/c I sometimes have long periods of not qualifying! I love keeping up with all of you and value the friendships here. xoxox.

I should have done a zuzk w/o along w/ my xtend today, but didn't get up early enough and certainly didn't feel like it this eve after work/school/ extend/women's study group. I watched an episode of Game of Thrones w dd, ate cold food from food plan from which cat absconded w/ a piece of broccoli, wth?? Weird cat. I also wondered when I see my dogs in the afterlife if they will still have bad breath or will they get a dental cleaning in corgi heaven before we meet again.

Roxie, yea!! for sleep. Good luck w/ job, too! Mary, the problem with cleaning is stuff keeps getting dirty and disorganized again. I started off so well this Sun night and two days later everything is back to chaos, darn it. Ronne, I agree the BR stuff was pretty edgy and has escalated but I find Zuzka to just be cute and charming. The workout was actually fun and quite do able. Time went by quickly. Murphy, did you usually workout early early?
