40's sprinting into Christmas

haha Roxie, frosting cookie max :)

I'm back, DH was calling me to brunch. I did do 4DS UB. I think I've been fighting a cold, a bit congested and that yucky taste in your mouth. That must be why I've been lacking a bit in energy. Hopefully I'm better for skiing tomorrow and I don't have too many UB DOMS, otherwise DH will be carrying my ski's to/from slope.

Everyone have a great rest of the weekend, see ya Tuesday!
 
Just finished Yoga Relax. I am really surprised DH is taking this exercise thing seriously he has walked on the TM 3 times this week.

Lisa-have fun skiing.
 
yea, I'm sick :( my throat is hurting now and I'm a little achy. I sure hope I'm ok for skiing tomorrow even if I have to load up on advil.

Roxie, that's great about DH, hopefully he sticks to it. Exercise surely becomes more important the older we get.
 
Hi girls! Just a quick hello, did shopping max today. The stores were crowded! Just a few more things to get! Lisa, hope you feel better! Have fun skiing tomorrow! Roxie, my DH did YM with me yesterday, he loved it! Wants to do it again!? He is a workout fiend tho! Ronne, how was the party? Jody, are you getting into relaxation mode yet? Murphy, are you back on line yet? Well, the house threw up, better get moving! Talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Hi ladies

Mary - this is sounding more like a shopping marathon!! Do you prefer to get a few things at a time? My DH always takes several visits to a shop before he finally makes a decision!

Lisa - hope you're OK for skiing and have a good time!

Roxie - what kind of cookies did you make?

Well, Sat I had a rest day and went to the party in the evening. It's in the scout hut, everyone brings a dish and something to drink and it's a good chance to catch up with neighbours. It was a really good evening - there was tons of food and I stuffed my face - and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Yesterday I did AT - that's one of my favourites of the new series I think. Today was YM. Finishing off a project today and then I'm almost done with work!!
 
Yes, Lisa, hope you are having fun skiing and not too achy sore throaty.

Ronne, Party sounds fun, I did AT myself this morn for first time. I liked it too. My discs have been used for first time and now have dog hair on them---I knew that was coming.

Roxie how did the cookies turn out? I am trying new things with my diet, cookies not on the menu plan. 1 is too many and 1000 not enough, lol

Mary, at least you will be done with shopping soon, I haven't started yet, but I don't do much anyway.

Murphy, I hope Santa brings you some internet connection!

I had a crazy weekend of social outings and get togethers. Sat eve was a party w/ DJ--I danced for about 2.5 hours straight. Droppin' it down low not so good for my knees, ha ha.


?? Athletic training express premix is just 22 min long...its the w/u cardio, core and stretch sections only? Anyone done this?
 
Good morning! Today did TB, last long work out for this week, rest of week will be baking, cooking, wrapping, family, etc! Ronne, I am a huge lurker! I browse and touch and just wander around! Makes my kids crazy! Party sounds like it was fun! Jody, dancing! That sounds so much fun! We never do that anymore! Good luck with your shopping. Roxie, what are you up to? Lisa, hope you are feeling good! Murphy, you out there? Well, better get moving! Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi all. I think this will be a pre-mix week for me. I am feeling so lazy that I barely wanted to the 20 min workout for TBT. Wow, l-a-z-y. The kids should be with my parents next week so I will have no excuse for not exercising or getting enough sleep or cleaning or etc.

Jody - I had to laugh at the Santa bringing me an Internet connection, would be nice.

Hi to all and I hope everyone is feeling well.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is Cardio Super Sets. We are expecting 4-8 inches of snow overnight not looking forward to that glad DH bought a truck with 4 wheel drive because I live on a hill. To everyone that asked they are frosted sugar cookies that DH makes once a year but this is his second batch the kids, DH and I really like them to much.

Lisa-hope you had fun today.

Jody-thats the problem with these cookies you can't eat just one.
 
Back from skiing, had a good time, but it wasn't the Champagne Powder we normally get here. Very hard packed and icey, lot's of grass/bushes showing thru (I think I skiied over some bushes :) . VERY windy, cloudy, and flurries. My legs were very tired from the hard pack/ice. My throat isn't sore anymore, now it's more like my glands are swollen (like swallowing past 2 lumps in my throat). That's what happens when my body is fighting something off. I think I'm going to work from home tomorrow since I'm sick :)

Ronne, So far AT is one of my least favs. What about it do you like? The quad burn is high in that one and hard for me to do with the # risers Cathe does.

Jody, I think if I dropped it low I'd never get back up!

Mary, not sure what w/o I'll do tomorrow, if any, gonna take another benadryl tonight. I hate getting sick, especially something in the throat.

Roxie, we have a bit of snow in the city, so ya, it's coming your way :)

Murphy, does that mean you have to workout twice as hard next week?
 
Good Morning,

Tonite I did Cardio Supersets modified alot of the disc moves did the scissors lunges without them and then did the mountain climbers without and the leg out swings I did without to. Still got a good workout.

Lisa-hope you get better soon. We are getting rain mixed with sleet right at this minute.

Morning! Did 3.5 miles on TM. Today will be baking and wrapping while kids are in school. Their break starts today, they are excited! Roxie, are you getting hit with the snow? Good ideas for modifying those moves. Lisa, how are you feeling? Are your legs tired? Ronne, did you get your work done? Jody, did you start shopping? Murphy, I'm with you on some shorter workouts! Are your kids getting wound up? Well, better get started doing something! Mary
 
Good morning everyone! No w/o for me. My legs have DOMS where they never have DOMS normally :) And my throat is still hurting really bad, so bad, I had DH go buy some ice cream last night. I did sleep 10 1/2 hrs last night.
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is suppose to be Imax but I will do TF 30 instead. I woke up with a cough this morning and now my throat is starting to hurt. DH drove me to work today the roads aren't that great and its still snowing. We didn't get as much as they had predicted I think the storm switched directions.

Lisa-get some rest today you don't want to be sick during christmas.

Mary-still snowing.
 
I did ME today, first time total body wts in awhile! I may do a walk/run later on while I wait for DD at TKD.

Lisa and Roxie, sorry you guys are sick, hopefully you'll be better soon. Icy roads? Ick.

Re weather, its been cool enough to keep sliders and windows open most of the day~~77 right now. It was nice during my workout this morn.

I've got lots to do today, I am sure everyone has a lot of holiday related stuff to take care of. Stay safe, well and have fun~
 
Hi all

Just a quick post from me. Did the JFO option on the Trisets LB just for a change. It just has one different exercise in there - reverse lunges instead of those balancing one-legged squats in the last triset.
Went to the cinema with DD to see Arthur Christmas. Brilliant film - DD laughed so hard she nearly wet herself!!

Mary - your kids break up late. How long are they off for?

Murphy - good to see you back!

Jody - I bet you're enjoying having some time again to work out.

Roxie - hope you don't come down with something!

Lisa - keep warm, drink liquids and DON'T WORK OUT!! :p I like AT because of the variety and the speed. It doesn't feel like an hour workout.

Right DD is hovering, need to go!!
 
Well, I kept the cold away but now with my cycle, I have a major headache. On the upside, my stomach does not seem as bloated as usual - I really have to keep up with the ab work on my c-section belly goes right to a pot-belly. :)
 
Ronnie, I really do hate those one legged squats in the last triset, I will have to try the JFO PM next time I do that workout! Thanks for that info! I'm trying to drink a lot (hard with a sore throat I can barely swallow past), and I'm trying not to worry about the calories in the drinks/ice cream I'm eating. I can't believe how sore my throat is and with no fever that I can tell(sometimes it's hard to tell if you are achy or if it's DOMs) :) , just feel like crap.

Murphy, I hear ya! I didn't have a c-section, but my kids were 8.5 lbs and 9.5 lbs. I also have a small umbilical hernia (no pain with it so they say leave it alone) that I attribute to child birth!
