40's - Summer's here!

Hello

Roxie - that workout sounds great!! I bet you hurt today!

Jody - wow, pretty good workout yourself as well. Hope you enjoyed the film. We're planning to go and see MIB 3 soon. Love Will Smith!

Mary - Has everything gone quiet? Were the twins really excited? We're off to the Isle of Skye on Friday (well, we're leaving on Friday but breaking the journey).

Lisa - it's a really tough decision, you'll know the right thing to do. What does your DH think?

Did the Pyramid Bonus Combo PM today. Felt pretty good. Just got a new music CD so I'm going to listen to it to jolly along my work this afternoon. Starting to lose concentration as I get into holiday mode! Keeping my fingers crossed this fab weather will last next week as well.
 
Hi everyone, just a quick post. I have vet appt today and depending on what he says I do believe it is time to let Yoshi go. I'm very torn up, at first I called about a cortizone shot but deep down I believe it's time for her to go. Vet was full all week but they made time today so I guess I'll really have to put those big girl pants on and give Yoshi this final act of love without DH (I didn't want to have to do this by myself, again). I've decided that if I do go thru with it that he will get the honor of cleaning up all the pee pads/ cardboard boxes that have been blocking her access, etc. It's the least he can do and I'm sure he will be happy to do that as he feels so bad I'm in this position, again.

OMG, while I was typing that, Yoshi walked from the one side of the L couch to my side, around my work laptop, and onto my lap and started purring. She hasn't done that in ages. I feel like a heel for sure now.

OK, now I allowed her to figure out where she wanted to pee...yep, in the dining room. It is time, I must keep this attitude for me to be able to do this.

Good Morning,

I got up and went to spin class this morning and plan on going to the gym and doing the elliptical tonite. So far the only thing that hurts is my knee.

Ronne-all the way home I kept thinking Cathe has nothing on this girl and she is only in her early 20's heaven help the world.

Lisa-it does sound like it is time and maybe yoshi was thanking you for that.

Jody-I was able to get up we will see what this afternoon brings.
 
Roxie, I've been praying for a sign. When she did that I thought that might be it. Them I wondered if I was being too sappy
 
Hi girls! Today did PP, 3 sets of upper body. Actually, rather enjoyable! Kids left at 5 this morning, still on the bus! Lisa, I'm so sorry. I agree with Roxie, that sounds like a sign. Nwill be thinking of you. Roxie, can't believe you aren't sore!? That sounds like a devil of a workout! Ronne, I am going to have to google the Isle of Sky! You find such amazing places to go! Jody, DH took the kids to see Avengers, said it was fabulous! Hi Murphy! Well, I have got to go....mow the grass! I bet you thought I was going to say clean! Mary
 
vet wouldn't put her to sleep. said to carry her down the stairs a couple times a day to have her pee there (yea, like a cat pee's on demand). put litter box in main part of house (I DO NOT want one on main level). Did give her a cortizone shot, will see if it helps her pain to go downstairs to pee/poo. In the meantime, I'll lock her in the bedroom downstairs at night and when I go to work. I'm over it, I'm done, I give up. If this doesn't work, DH will have to handle it, I can't. feel trapped

Oh, workouts, been too upset and tonight I may be drinking.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - that is really tough, especially with DH being away. Can you meet up with one of your BFs just to give you a break?

Roxie - so how's superwoman today?

Mary - I saw that premix and thought it looked pretty good. Will stack it up for the future.

Did In the Ring today (not the whole thing). I'd forgotten how much fun that one is. Trying to get work finished off before we go on holiday. Think I should just about manage it! Will probably start packing tonight as we're going tomorrow afternoon.
 
Good Morning,

I didn't make it to the gym last night due to the weather we finally got some rain. Tonite is another session with PT and then I am going to do the elliptical.

Ronnie-no pain today.

Jody-sucks your vet won't put yoshi down I don't understand it.
 
Did Step Max today, trying to get back in the groove. The last couple of days I've been so emotionally distraught that I need some order back! Still playing catch the cat before she pees in the dining room. I'm only doing that since I'm home, when at work I plan to just lock her up in the bedroom downstairs. Noticed she's not grooming herself too well in the nether regions, guess DH and I will have to trim her up. I'm just so over it and now I'm beginning to resent her which I didn't want to do. Now she's laying right next to me, again, hasn't done that in yrs, not sure what's up with her (if anything, vet dismissed the behavior changes I've seen)

Ronne, I have a hike planned next wed with my bff! She's having similar issue with her cat (same age but he gets around better and can see, and doesn't have high BP and not AS bad with litter box issues), thing is she kicks him outside as he's been a mostly outdoor cat his whole life.

sorry I haven't kept up with personals, I'll do better next time!
 
Hey, Ronne, have a great trip! Lisa, sorry about kitty, hugs. Waves to all. No workout yesterday and today is mad scramble to put dance class together. Just having coffee and a chill in the layover between work and dance. I'll have to hit it hard tomorrow. oh and finally remembered pp is push pull. duh.
 
Hi girls! Today did TM again, just intervals. Lisa, so sorry. So hard to come to the decision. Does DH come home soon? Maybe the steroids will help her feel better? Ronne, enjoy your vacation! We are taking the kids away next week, a surprise for the end of school. Just to a waterpark and Cedar Point, an amusement park. I did google your Isle, look beautiful!! Roxie, you are going to be a machine and put us all to shame! Jody, Murphy, what are you up to? Going to take little one on bike ride. Twins are having fun, they come back late tomorrow. Have a good evening! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Well my trainer kicked my butt again and then I did the elliptical and came home and did a stretch. I am a little discouraged my wt went up another lb and my bf% stayed the same.
 
Cedar Point? I LOVE Cedar Point!!!! Also 6 Flags Magic mtn in Ca plus of course Busch Gardens here in FL. Millenium, Maverick and Magnum love love, thought I would DIE from fright on power tower. Have FUN!Envy! Oh and I have a crazy cousin, started conversation in a long line at Millenium w/ Amish or Mennonite girls. So, why do you all wear the same dresses? We were in line so long and got to know them -so that we visited them in Amish country store that week when we went on visit. lol

Roxie, are the workouts making you extra hungry? How do you feel in your clothes? I'd like to lose a chunk, hopefully in time for dance performance in 3 weeks. gak.
 
Jody, no way am I going on the PowerTower! Did it once, almost wet my pants! What did the girls say about the dresses? There is always a lot of Amish there! You would be a hoot to meet. Also, don't know what chunk you are talking about! All right, got to get some sleep!
 
Good Morning,

I got up and went to spin class this morning and the whole class talked all the way through it I almost walked out. Tonite I plan on doing the elliptical.

Jody-I am like Mary what chunk. I am seeing a difference in my body and my clothes are feeling better but I guess I would love to see results on the scale too. I think the workouts are making me really hungry I could eat all day long.
 
I didn't sleep well last night, my brain woke up at 1:30 and wouldn't shut off, normally when DH is gone I'll turn on the TV to drown out my thoughts. Well, since he was home I went out to the couch (never have done that, I was desperate), I slept but it must not have been a sound sleep because I'm exhausted! I HOPE to get in STS disc 3 legs tonight and then go for walk with DH, will see how I feel. I've had a stressful week. Yoshi actually went downstairs to use the litter box, so shot must be working. She still looks like she's has a lot of pain to me. Breaks my heart seeing her walk and get down to a laying position, it's obvious her front legs are bad (and we know from xrays 2 yrs ago that is the worst spot for her). Seems weird to have a floor dweller cat, I got down on the floor and petted her last night trying to comfort her. Reminded me of the dog time, I guess I'm destined to sit on floor to comfort old animals. We will see how it goes the next 2 - 3 weeks and try to get some of our money's worth out of the shot. When the pain escalates again we will go to another vet adn DH will handle it. My cleaning lady was here yesterday, in the 3 yrs she's cleaned the house she's never seen the cat (because cat stayed downstairs and she doesn't clean that area), one look at her and she said it looked like the cat walked pathetically and clueless about where she is going a lot of the time. I figure there is some reason that she is still with us right now, maybe we all have to get to goodbye. DS20 will be over Monday, it was mostly his cat, maybe it was meant to be that he see her one last time knowing the end is really near. Who knows, life!

Mary, can't believe the twins are back?

Roxie, try not to get discouraged with the scale. Go for healthy.

Jody, same thing! chunk, ha!

Ronne, enjoy your trip!

Murphy, hello!
 
Hi girls! Today did PS legs, always fun! Lisa, I was thinking of suggesting another vet. Good idea giving it to DH to handle! Hope you get some sleep, stress gets us everywhere doesn't it!? Roxie, maybe you are building muscle? Don't look at the scale, look at yourself! What does your DH have to say? I bet he can tell. Ronne, have fun! Hi to Jody and Murphy! The twins come back late tonite, they are going to a bunch of museums today. They are going to be exhausted! I'm glad they are coming home. I'm tired of talking about the Incredible Hulk all day! Little one is talking my ear off! Mary
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did the elliptical and my legs are burning and so is my core and back she had me to v-sits with side to side twist holding a 15lb kettlebell.

Mary-DH says he can feel a difference in my butt.
 
Hugs Lisa. xoxox. So painful.
I did finally get my workout in-x factor week 4. In some ways easy, wth??? but some moves are hard. I use my disks when I can (one legged squats, mnt climb etc) chunk of wt, layer of shimmering fat above the muscles is what I'd like to lose. Jeez it would be great to lose some by 20th of June.
FF guy and I on standby for now. He's super sweet, but if I push I'm afraid of being locked in and its not that perfect of a match and he's really not a booty call type of guy from what I can tell and that doesn't work for me either. Sort of previous bf came over for dinner but I didn't encourage him to stay over. Also not that perfect of a match. Sigh. I miss my dog. She loved me for what I am and was grateful for whatever attention I gave her and I appreciated her demanding woofieness : )
Daaaahhhnnnng. 15 pound kettle bell and V sits Roxie? I think I likey! I'm gonna have to try it. I bets you gots a nice onion! (youth speak for nice butt)
