40's September thread

Hello ladies

Mary - that's bad news about your wrist. I guess it gets you out of push-ups though!!

Roxie - those abs on Xtrain are tough!

Lisa - good luck with the hike. Hope you enjoy it - but don't push yourself too hard!!

Swapped the rotation around a bit today. Did the whole of 4DS KB. I really enjoyed it! It's our last day of summer. :confused: The weather is forecast to break tomorrow, it'll drop 10 degrees and rain! So I'm going to sit out in the garden for a bit later to make the most of it.
 
Good Morning,

I did KCM's KBX 1 instead of Hard Strikes conditioning I don't really like that one. My GS turns 1 today where has the time gone. Headed to the lake again today.

Ronne-weather here is suppose to get hotter.
 
Hi all! Just finished disc 24! I will have to figure out what I'm going to do about meso 3. Maybe do the upper body workouts on like Saturday and Monday, then work in the plyo legs during the week? Ronne, maybe fall is just teasing you and summer will come right back? Beautiful here, 70's during the day, 50's at night. I wish it could stay like this! Roxie, you will get a lot more boating in, won't you? Is there a party for GS? Lisa, how do you feel after your hike? Any fallout? Jody, how's school? We miss you! You too Murphy! It is our 16th wedding anniversary, we have meet the teacher night tonite, football tomorrow night, and a cross country race Saturday night! Maybe Sunday we can do dinner! Just the two of us. I think my taste buds are screaming for Chipoltle! Have a good evening! Mary
 
Hi girls, I'm on week 3 of M2. I did chest and 4ds HIS on Mon and Sh, Tri and 4ds bootcamp today plus some abs. Planning on back and bi tomorrow, run Saturday and legs Sun.

Mary, I have a lot to say about school and clinicals - mostly good but w/ same reservations about how the program doesn't utilize any clinical instructors at clinical sites but I just try to keep my side of the street clean, get along and hope for the best, its none of my biz and I can take care of myself, I just need to get through.
I'm in a very different place this semester. It actually felt like (dare I say it?) home, but first day who knows. So far I'd say it is smaller, better care, more knowledgeable and conscientious personnel but a lot more potential for drama in such a tiny fish bowl. Thank you for thinking of me.

Lisa, I hope you didn't over do it, not much choice once you've hit the trail Enjoy your various weathers, all. We've got hot and sometimes rainy, prob til Nov when it might be hot and sometimes cool. Roxie, happy bd to gs. Wow, that was quick. Dad coming to visit i think, ttyl all.
 
Good Morning,

DD is having a birthday party for GS tomarrow so I have some treats she wants me to bake. She has invited 100 people talk about overkill my SIL was not pleased when he heard this. I will do Xtrain Legs after I make treats and mop the kitchen floor DH made a mess. My body is so sore from Xtrain it never felt this way the first time I did it.

Lisa-you need to go easy.

Jody-enjoy your time with dad.

Mary-we will boat until it gets to cold.
 
Hello

Roxie - wow 100 people!! I don't know that many people!! You'll be doing a lot of baking.

Jody - sounds like the course is going well. Glad to hear you're feeling settled. Have fun with your dad. Is he going to be getting some jobs done for you?!

Mary - hope you get to celebrate with DH. You're two years ahead of us. It's our wedding anniversary next Weds. We're not even attempting to get out by ourselves. Our babysitter's gone a bit unreliable!

Lisa - hope you're recovering!

Did 4DS LIS all the way through. Feel like I've worked hard this week. We're off to a 65th birthday party tonight. The weather has broken which is a real shame as they've got a nice big garden and it would have been nice to be outside. DH has come down with a stomach bug - bad timing!
 
Hi girls! It's Friday! I did XT legs. Jody, thank you! So glad school is going well. One more semester after this? Lisa, hope you are feeling better today. I'm sorry it took so much out of you. Roxie, 100 people? That's a big party! Lots of thank you notes! Have fun! Ronne, enjoy your party! One good thing about the kids getting a bit older is no more sitters. We can get out a bit more and we save money! Hi to Murphy. Have to get ready, there is a tailgate party before the game. Have a good evening, Mary
 
HI all, well, nothing like a slap in the face of it taking 4 hrs to do the same trail I did 18 mths ago at 1.5 hrs. (we did have to park farther away, so saying it took me twice as long). my BFF saw me thru (I was ready to turn back, glad I didn't ). I now know why people on Biggest loser throw up, at one point I thought I would.....it was hot. PT was proud of me, told me I should be glad I did it, so what if it took so long (I was so upset with myself). Work has been awful this week too, I think I did 40 hrs of work in the 12 hrs I worked.

Roxie, WOW, that's a lot of people! Maybe he'll get lots of toys or money for his college fund :)

Jody, sounds like you are handling this semester better. My team lead (who is out of town, hence the chaos at work this week), was encouraged to interview for another job. If she leaves, I don;t think I will last much longer, work is murder without her!

Mary, happy anniv, missed the day. Your birthday is coming up fast though!

Ronne, happy early anniv. :) Hope dh doesn't give you the bug!

Well, my dog walks are really exhausting, I think I'm still recovering from the hike. I did do my PT. Hey, with all that hiking NO lower back pain! So PT helped that. My neck was no worse for the wear, worst thing that hurt was the rhomboids (I think planks are working those and those are stretched from surgery). I got my pressure trigger pointer, I think it might be good on my sore back, I have lots of knots to get out that they just don't go deep enough at PT (they do more of neck rotation). Speaking of that, I have a new exercise I'm not thrilled with, take a towel, around your neck, cross it, position hands just so, rotate head and encorage with pull of the towel. I'm happy enough with how far I can rotate (it isn't no 90 degrees!) I just wish it would stop hurting when I rotate.
 
Good Morning,

Well GS has made his first birthday interesting DD called and said they were taking him to ER last night because he wouldn't put wt on his right leg and he was crawling funny she said they found a buckle fracture above his ankle so he now has a cast that goes all the way above his knee and he is not allowed to crawl or put any wt on it until his dr. appt Monday which is ok I don't think that will be a problem today at his birthday party with both grandmothers, grandfathers and aunts and uncles he is well covered. I haven't worked out I must confess I have been taking diet pills and they are causing stomach issues and I have gained a lb so I don't think I will be taking them again.

Ronne-happy anniversary.

Mary-happy belated birthday to you.
 
Good morning! Since it's my rest week, I'm doing some of my non Cathe work outs. Today did a Violet Zaki, it was ok. Roxie, so sorry about GS. Enjoy the party today. Lisa, are you feeling better today? Jody, how's the homework coming? Ronne, how was the party? We have a cross country meet today, 2 hours away! 4 hours in the car for a 20 minute run! Should be fun, have a good day! Mary
 
my body is still recovering, slower in walking dogs this morning, MMA boxing was tougher than it was last week. did my pt exercises though I am just tired of it all and just want to be back to normal

Roxie, oh my, the poor little guy!

Mary, that's a lot of driving for so little a time of competition. HOpe you all like driving better than we do!
 
Did a mix of intensity. I did the step (which I usually avoid but it was not today for some reason), part of the hi impact HiiT and then forwarded to the low impact HiiT. I usually do the lo impact and boot camp, skipping the step, but I thought I would mix it up today. :)

Ronne - Happy late anniversary.
Mary - Happy belated birthday. I hate those trips were it takes longer to get there than the actual event. I used to have Violet Zaki workout. I thought she was okay if I remember correctly.
Roxie - I hope GS heals well and soon.
Lisa - Feel better soon.
Jody - how is the homework?

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes today. Dh starts vacation today so we are headed to spend one of many days this week at the lake, its suppose to be hot today. GS sees the orthopedic tomarrow so we will see what he did for sure. Social Services is suppose to check on him because of the lower body injury we are hoping they intervies the daycare lady.
 
Hi girls! Today did a Jessica Smith w/o. I liked it! Roxie, how was the party? Hope GS is ok. Kids do stuff so quick and we don't even see what they did. Lisa, are you starting to feel better? Murphy, we missed you! I don't do that step either. I should give it a try one day. It was my anniversary last week, I think Ronne's is this week and my birthday is in 2 weeks. Ronne, how are you? DD glad to be back at school? Jody, you must be buried in homework! Race was good yesterday, LONG ride. DS took a full minute off his time tho. His GF broke off with him the night before, maybe it was hurt and anger coming out. Felt so bad for him, I didn't much care for her, high maintenance! That is the mother in me talking! Have a good evening! Mary
 
Woke up and my body said take a rest day from everything. I did foam roll to get out lots of muscle knots. So tired of these muscle spasm.

Roxie, starting to cool off here thank goodness.

Murphy, wow intensity, how's the foot?

Mary, I think your posts wear me out just reading them. Congrats to ds on the run, unfortunately they have to learn through heartbreak

Good Evening,

It was almost 100 degrees today so the lake felt wonderful. DH's jury duty was cancelled so we will get to spend almost everyday at the lake, we both have dentist appts. Wednesday.

Lisa-be patient you will heal.

Mary-so sorry for DS girls can be so mean, but congrats to him on better time.
 
Wow, I love the step in Intensity. Roxie, I hope gs does ok. I'm sorta buried in hw but also had dad in this weekend. Mary, sounds like a good time for books on cd but everyone is probably plugged into own device. Ronne happy anniversary if I didn't say so. Lisa hang in there.
ps mary which jessica? I just watched a ball one. I haven't done one yet but they seem to be a treasure and she is so likeable.

Hello

Jody - sounds like you're snowed under at the moment. Hope you had a nice time with your dad.

Roxie - enjoy your holiday time with DH.

Lisa - rest days are good! Sounds like you needed it.

Mary - I think you could do with a rest day too! DD's got back into the routine. I think she likes not being a newbie anymore. Activities don't start till next week so we've got a bit of down time yet!

Murphy - I thought step was out of bounds for you?

Had a great time at the party on Friday night. There was a bit of live music, a bit of dancing. And I didn't drink too much! Didn't get much done on Saturday tho! Did a yoga session yesterday which stretched everything out beautifully.
On to week 2 of rotation. Did PS Legs. Skipped the abs as I'm a bit short of time today. I'll add some on later in the week.
