40's September thread

Hi all! Sorry to be missing, with work and all the kid stuff, time is at a premium! Lisa, hope that you are well. The flooding looks absolutely terrifying! I have a couple of those scarves, I like them. Roxie, your tooth, toe and a migraine? All sounds awful! Hope you had fun at the party, even with satan's child! Jody, how is school? A lot more work? I think I'm going to do PS this week, the hardcore weights next and then hopefully we will have the new one! I just don't have the time to do meso 3. I'm sorry. There is just so much with the kids. Ronne, how was shopping? Yesterday I did a Tracy Mallet w/o, Friday a Michelle Olsen. Today YR. will get back to Cathe in full force tomorrow. I do have to take a rest day Tuesday, too much to do after work. Hi Murphy! Just finished cleaning, have to get to shower, have a good day everyone! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I just did YR and now I am watching football. Headache is better toe is black and blue.

Mary-sounds like you are a busy lady.
 
raining hard here now, starting to get worried of flooding in our area now. Hoping the sump pump keeps up becuase it would be awful for our basement to flood. Now Broomfield where I live have road closures. sigh. I only did my PT exericses today. muscles not as sore today, maybe skipping a day did it? I just don't have hte energy to do more. I think my body is just telling me it still needs energy to heal. With all the rains, hiking is out, all roads out of the canyons in the mountains are washed out, they predict 1 to 2 wks to repair them. I don't ever remember this much rain and devestation from the rain. Rain makes me not want to do anything either!

Mary, time seems to be always at a a premium! for various reasons for everyone, can we vote for more hours in a day?

Roxie, enjoy the game, the Manning bro's play against each other today, I looked for Peyton Manning's scar from his ACDF surgery a few yrs ago (I found it ). FUnny for me to look for that.

Jody,sounds like school has you busy.

Ronne, we've been stuck inside for 6 days now (with brief glimpses of sun). This rain is crazy. I think they said last I heard we had around 14 inches? in snow that would be like 140 inches. What a clean up our state has in front of us.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - sounds like it's really bad where you are. We never got quite the storm that was predicted yesterday and the sun is out today for the first time in a week. Hope the flooding stays away from you!

Roxie - poor thing, it sounds like you're really suffering. Hope things start to get better!

Mary - you sound rushed off your feet. Are the workouts in Meso 3 much longer than the rest? Hope you find some quiet time!

Jody - it sounds like you've got a lot on as well. Workouts have to fit in around life!

Had a quiet weekend. Got my shopping done, nothing very interesting. Did Imax 3 yesterday and GSL today. Just been out for lunch with fellow homeworkers. Always good to get out and talk to people!!
 
Good morning! Today did PS legs. Love that one! Just saw a clip for the new leg one, I'm getting excited! Lisa, how are you all doing? Looks awful still. Stay safe! Roxie, how are you feeling? Better I hope. Ronne, sounds like a good weekend! There is just something everyday after school. I get home from work, workout quick, then start running! Meso 3 workouts except for the plyo legs are all over an hour. I just don't have the time. Jody, I'm not really sure about the edible arrangements around here. They are so cute tho! What a great gift! Have to run into work for a bit, I hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
The sun is shining here today, yea! The dogs are enjoying the sunshine as much as I am! Took the dogs for a walk this afternoon I'm guessing 2.25 miles. Then I tried to do step moves with no risers I only made it through the warm up and combo 1. I do feel like I'm starting from Step 1 when I started with Cathe years ago. Did my PT exercises. I go to PT tomorrow. Running low on time sorry for no personal

Good Evening,

I went back to the dentist to get the crown back on and then spent some time with DD and GS and while I was with them my DD tells me she can see that I have but on alot of wt and that I am starting to look like my brother that we all don't like talk about a sef-esteem let down so now I don't have a choice to whatch what I eat and up my workouts. I am going to have to add in more cardio.

Mary-I bought new tape to keep my toes together while I workout.
 
Hello

Roxie - ??? Perhaps a little too much honesty?

Lisa - glad you're enjoying the sunshine.

Mary - I just saw that clip as well. I've also looked at the other ones she put up. I thought the legs one did look quite good but I have to say I'm glad I haven't preordered as there isn't anything there that really gets me excited.

Did StrikeZone (Tracey Staehle) for cardio. Gone back to rain again here. Absolutely chucking it down! Work has gone quiet again so I'm trying to chase some new stuff down. Wish me luck!
 
Good Morning,

I didn't sleep very well last night not sure what is going on and I don't feel very good this morning. I did KCM's TLC Boxing and Shape Abs. The top of my foot at the base of my toe is starting to turn black and blue.

Lisa-we got your rain today had storms all morning.

Ronne-she said it was because she loved me that she was telling me I was fat.
 
1.5 mile dog walk, then go to PT later today. They mentioned taping my left trap to keep it down then I walked out forgetting to have them do that to see if it helps, hopefully I remember today.

Roxie, I've gained weight too. For me, I know it's emotional eating (Jody would die to see what I've eaten). That is a bit rude, sounds like my sister. My sister even asked me a few weeks after surgery how much weight I gained (like the 240 lb person that wants to take delight in me gaining), well at that point I had lost (couldn't eat). Maybe we can motivate each other. I keep swearing that I won't by junk food when I go grocery shopping, and then what do I do?

Ronne, are you a freelancer? Do you have a lot of contacts for work? or do you get it from a company? DIL is freelancing and DS thinks that she doesn't have the resources to get enough $'s coming in. I couldn't do it, but she has an outgoing personality so it may work for her.

Mary, Just remember to enjoy these school yrs while you can, they grow too fast. I took off work for a year to spend time with kids with HS activities (then work laid me off....I was perfect target being on a leave, but was fine with me for them to pay me to leave and now back as a contractor setting my own hours).

Jody, how's school I bet you are eating good, you are so good at that
 
Hi all! No workout to report yet, we will see, probably not! Roxie, I'm sorry. Maybe she could have been a bit more diplomatic? I wish I could be a better eater. It's just that the stuff that is good for us, doesn't taste as good as the bad stuff! I know Jody is a good eater! Lisa, how's it all going there? I haven't seen the news at all today! I wish I didn't have to work! But the kids are the reasoning took this job, I can still do all their stuff. Ronne, I'll keep my fingers crossed for work to find you! Jody, how's school? Well, I saw the orthopedist again today. He says the only way to fix it, is to do the surgery over again. It will have to wait til May when school is done, I don't get sick or vacation time. So, that's the plan. I can put it out of my mind for a while! Have a good evening! Mary
 
so I feel a bit down, maybe hormones (boobs hurt), or that I'm tired of feeling pain somewhere. today is top of left trap, PT seems perplexed. THey used the Kensio tape to try to keep it down, but after talking with me. they say that if this surgery was a stressful event for me it may be that my central nervous system is in a constant fight or flight. I'm known for not being able to relax and my bff said I have a good fight or flight. So they are going to try reflexology next. Just tired of it all.

Mary, how do you feel about the only way to fix it to redo it. why didn't it work the first time? I commend you for being so upbeat with what you deal with, wish I was more like you. Feel kinda like a wimp for how I internalize and let everything bother me and always tense.

anyone have experience with reflexology?
 
Hi all

Lisa - no I've never tried reflexology. Isn't that all done through your feet? Yes, I am freelance. I don't work for just one company, so I've been emailing people I work with to see if there's anything going.

Roxie - I bet your foot hurts, doesn't it?

Mary - well, you've got plenty of workouts in the bank!! Sorry to hear the bad news about your hip. As Lisa says, you're remarkably cheerful!

Did GSBSB today. Keeping this short as I've got computer problems and the whole thing may shut down at any moment!! Got to phone someone to come and hopefully sort it out.
 
Good Morning,

I did Xtrain CB&S and then tried to walk on the TM but my toe said I don't think so.

Ronne-foot only hurts when I put wt on that toe, it feels like it needs popped but I know better only certain moves like pivots make it hurt.

Lisa-hang in there things will get better its just going to take time.

trying a new schedule today so I don't stress so much about getting online for work. So, I work while I drink coffee and wear my bone stimulator for an hour. Walk the dogs (we did about 1.75 miles today). Stretch my legs. Stay stinky for the next 3 hrs while I work, then I'm going to go do some foam Rolling, PT stuff and Cathe. My plan for Cathe is HR, and now as I think about the warm up(that Murphy always said she didn't like), I need to find a different warm up. I will not lift any weights, for those parts I'll throw in my PT work, then I think I should be able to do the leg parts, core part, throw in the PT core work as needed. So at least I'll be part of Cathe. It will be a long time before any weight work, right now I do 2 lbs doing I's,Y's,T's on the stab ball as part of PT. Yea, I'm in the big leagues now :)

Roxie, just ready to be normal. On the plus side, I think my cardio was better walking the dogs today. I just want to get on with my life. For some reason this reflexology thing just makes me feel like I'm a loser for not being able to handle all the stressful situations in my life. My friend calls me sooooo a Type A. I want to be a fun type :)

Ronne, for someone (me) in computer industry, I HATE it when my computer doesn't work, I just want it to do what I need to do and move on. I really hate computers :)
 
Did cf warm up and hr, using my PT exercises for ub, subbing my neck exercise for bi and tri , subbing my PT core for chest and core. Legs I used 2 x 5lb dumbbells and felt it, and isn't that pathetic ?!? Now to foam roll.
 
Hi everyone! Today did PS CS&T, I missed my 1 minute break! Roxie, be careful with your foot! I can't remember, did you tape it to your good toe? Toes hurt! Lisa, be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal. It took time to get to the point where you needed surgery. It will take your body time to readjust itself. Is the reflexology like a foot massage? Those are incredible! Well, I'm not going to have my surgery for 8 months, I can't let myself worry about that til about April! I'm glad I don't have to have a hip replacement and I know what to expect with this surgery. If I let my mind dwell, then I will get all worked up. I was crazy when I had to have the breast biopsy, I don't want to let myself get that way again. I made myself insane and my family! Ronne, hope the computer is acting right! Hi Jody! We miss you!!! Have to get DD to band! Have a good evening! Mary
 
Hi all

Mary - how does PS compare with STS? Is it a lot easier? You can always have a little vent on here!

Lisa - you're doing a great job. You've come so far in such a short time. I like your alternative HR!

Roxie - are you going to the doctor or are you just waiting for it to heal by itself?

I'm using the iPad as my PC has been taken away. It looks like it's an overheating problem so shouldn't be too much of a problem to sort out and hopefully not too expensive. Got some good news, just been offered some work which will take me up to mid November. Such a relief.
Did an hour of yoga today. Feel like a cold is brewing, I was supposed to do 30 30 Hiit but I thought I'd be sensible. I don't think full on Cathe cardio would be a good idea!
 
Good Afternoon,

I haven't done a workout yet I will do Xtrain legs later. Its hot here again today was 90 yesterday and suppose to be that hot today.

Mary-yes I have it taped to another toe.

Ronne-the doctor won't do anything for a broken toe you just have to wait it out.
 
Hi girls! Today did the cardio from DM, forgot how hard that was! Ronne, thank goodness for the iPad! Hope it's just allergies and not a cold, I had one last week, just waiting for the leftovers to leave! Roxie, getting hot here too! I'm ready for chilly nights for sleeping. Lisa, how are you feeling today? Jody, you lost at school? Did Murphy leave us? Have to start my running around soon, I better get some lunch! Have a good day! Mary
