40s trick or treat week -- BOO!!

I did STS total body, UB only. I must be losing my mind. I wanted to do the TBT UB but cold not find the TBT disc. I was going crazy. I thought I loaned it out b/c I could not find it, but I know that I didn't. After I started the STS disc I realized that TBT is part of the low intensity series and is in with those discs. :-( Ah, what are you gonna do - next time.

Lisa - good luck w/ DH's ear.
Roxie - good luck w/ the job search.
Mary - glad you guys are okay. There are so many w/o power; we are very lucky.
Jody - glad the tests were okay. How is smelly cat? ;-)
Ronne - the Alcatraz prison is out in CA too (San Fransisco? sp?), if you are interested...

Waves to all.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

I didn't get a workout in last night after my bad day I just wasn't up to it. Tonite I will go to the gym and do the Stepmill I have been putting this machine off its very daunting. Have a Happy Halloween everyone. DH's new job is going just fine good thing he has the experience in the bread business.

Murphy-glad to hear you came through ok.
 
Did AS, I have the 'I don't want to workout blues', but i hung in and did it. Tomorrow will be a hike, supposed to be 70 here, hopefully not too many muddy places where we are going from the snow last week. Then on Friday, DH is having surgery on his ear so I may not be posting (but I"ll be reading). I guess Sudden hearing loss is quite common. The ENT dr is doing a study as she sees it here more in the rocky mtn region. So, oral steriods didn't restore enough hearing, MRI shows there is no tumor, so next step is to put a tube in the ear and put a sponge in so it is resting against the cohlear (SP?) then get special compounded drops (have to drive to another town to get those) that are preservative free (since they will stay in contact with the 'organ of hearing'(cohlear). The sponge will keep them right next to where the steriod drops will hopefully reduce the potential swelling that is causing the hearing loss and tinnitus(ringing in the ear), treat for 6 wks, upping dosage for the steriod drops each 2 wk period based on how much improvement is being made. Probably will have to do a hearing aid eventually once we see how much can be recovered with this treatment. Why did this happen? No exact causes, virus, air pressure changes, auto immune, but most of the time no cause is identified. This did happen after our trip to Niagara. He had this about 10 yrs ago (but not to this extreme), but it resolved on it's own (that happens too). Surgery is at 7:15am Friday morning, we have to be there at 5:45am, eek!

Mary, NOT the lilac bush! I love those!

Jody, isn't LA in SOUTHERN CA? Maybe Ronne better not take travel advice from you :D:p I think there was a song about 'smelly cat', maybe some sitcom show somewhere.....I can hear it in my head and it won't leave now! Here it is: Friends tv series - Smelly Cat Song - YouTube

Murphy, welcome to the CRS club (I think we've discussed what those letters mean before).

Roxie, that does look like an intimidating (sp?) machine, but since you have access to one you have to try it out!
 
He everyone! Still home, work and school cancelled! Also our microwave met its maker during the storm. Feel bad for the people across the street, looks so bizarre to look out the window and no lights. I'm so glrateful I don't have to live like the Amish! Did CSS, only one child wanted to workout with me again! He thought that was harder than CCC! Lisa, enjoy your hike! Sounds beautiful, it's still raining here. Will be thinking of DH, hope for success. Murphy, so glad you are safe, the devastation looks overwhelming. Roxie, the stepmill sounds scary! I bet your thighs will be talking to you! Jody, great job! Clinicals will mix it up, add some fun! Have to figure out an activity to do with kids! They are getting a little squirrelly! Mary
 
Lisa, I had to wear long sleeves so it was north, ha ha. Best wishes on dh.

Mary, when we have storms, I kinda liked the no electricity but I liked to camp too. Power would come back and I'd manage to hide it from the kids for a short while,lol.

Murphy, that is funny about missing dvds. I would never loan out a cathe either. Today I left work in an extreme hurry to get home to rush dd to her TKD helper class she works in exchange for taking a class. Duh, that is on Monday not Wed. Sometimes we just have too much stuff going on.

Roxie, I've been having too many days of no workouts. Thursday is start of new week (in my mind, anyway)

5 people gone from class today post tribal council so we are down to 16. I did ok and no one yelled at me for being a smart mouth. : )
 
Good Evening,

I wasn't able to use the Stepmill they were both busy so I did the TM instead. I need to do some abs.

Jody-tomarrow is a new day.

Lisa-I have been having alot of those days lately but you I am still working out just not enjoying it.
 
hi all

just a fly-by - not getting any workouts in, and not sleeping well, then to top it all i damaged my hand yesterday. (so excuse they typing). i fell up the stairs and swung my right hand out and smacked into the rails on the banister. My little finger is swollen up to twice its size and it's all gone blue! v appropriate for halloween ...

glad to hear that the storm-affected aren't too affected, thanks for all the california suggestions and i'll be back next week and hope to be working out agian

feeling v sorry for myself!!
 
Poor, poor Ronne, did you come here so we can cyber kiss your boo boo?

How was everyone's Halloween? I enjoy seeing pics of everyone's kids, ah, the good ole days....

Heading out for a BEAUTIFUL Colorado day, 70, sun, hiking and spending time with my bestie!
 
Lisa, sounds wonderful!

Ronne, a freak accident- ouch! It will slow you down for work, too? Heal soon.

Murphy, smelly cat doing ok, dd gave her a bath and she doesn't seem to be as gassy so maybe whatever she used to hunt/eat has worked its way out of her system. She has an extra toe on each foot. : O She's very sweet, affectionate, doesn't attack, or cry or whine. I'd prefer no pets but she's a doll. Tiny at 9 lbs but leggy. ---->never mind, she's still smellycat

Mary, hopefully you are getting a break from driving at least.

Roxie, I wish I craved working out, but I usually have to talk myself into it. You seem to push thru no matter what. Actually all of the 40s seem to be pretty consistent- yea!

I did CW today. I'm thinking about the new workouts...

Good Afternoon,

Another crappy day here at work. I won't be working out tonite going out to see the grandbaby to give him his halloween present. Its a beautiful day here to.

Jody-to funny about smelly cat. You have alot on your plate I could see where it would be difficult to workout.

Ronne-I hope that hand gets better sounds painful.

Lisa-I hope you enjoyed your hike.
 
hi all

decided to be sensible and go to a&e. i've fractured a bone in my little finger! going back to fracture clinic today for more info, o joy!

lisa - enjoy the hike

jody - enjoy the cat

roxie - enjoy the GS

hi to everyone else - typing tricky - one hand and one finger. not sure how i'm going to work! (and workout!)
 
Good Morning,

I told Murphy I would do a KCM for her so tonite is Plateau Buster but I haven't decided which one yet.

Ronne-sorry to hear about the finger. I enjoyed every minute with GS last night.
 
Up at 4am to be at surgery center at the wee hour of 5:45 am. Procedure all done and we hope the ear drops help restore some hearing over the course of the next 6 wks. I'm going to skip w/o today and take a nap instead! We did hike 7.6 miles yesterday so I don't feel too bad about taking off.

Ronne, wow! you really did it to yourself! You might not be able to lift weights (especially heavy for awhile).

Roxie, oooooh baby snuggles and not all the night waking, perfect grandma scenario!

Jody, I'm ready for some new workouts!

Mary, what madness have you been up to?

Murphy, I hope you've uncovered your weights after the storm.
 
Hi girls! We lost Internet, phone and cable! I felt very lost! So grateful it came back! Me and my 1st world problems! Kids finally went back to school today, a lot of people still don't have power, they think it won't be back til next week? I did TB yesterday, all of it. Have to get moving and do today's! Ronne, I'm so sorry about your finger, that is miserable, hope it was a clean break and heals nicely. Roxie, how is that baby? I bet he is filling out by now! Lisa, how is DH feeling? Is there too much pain? Fingers crossed that it works. Murphy, are you still ok? Jody, that cat is adorable! I just love cats, DH and 2 kids have terrible allergies to them. No more cats for me. Hope everyone has a good weekend, we have dinner with friends tonite, better get off my butt! Mary
 
i only have a minue, the kids are yelling and DH is sleeping. (&*(^*&&^%&*%*&
did most of AT, i went all out in the beginning at had to take a break. then the assistants came and it was all over. the kids were off from school this past week but should be back next week. There are still areas with no power. Keep praying for everyone.

ronne - sorry to hear about the finger. I thought about the tubing (travel fit), but that would still hurt your finger. there is always leg work. resting should be an exerise, i would excel at it. good luck.
lisa - good luck to DH, I hope things get better with his ear.
Mary - glad your power is back.
Jody - glad school is going well.
Roxie - how is that tooth?

Waves and prayers to all.

Murphy
 
Did KPC today. Mary I bet that was hard being w/o power. Murphy, how can they sleep thru the noise? DH is doing ok, seems to be a bit of a baby, maybe I'm not sympathetic enough? I do feel bad because he does fly out on biz tomorrow.
 
Good Afternoon,

Just a quick checkin we are watching DH's other nephews and they are twins and DD, SIL, and GS are coming over to watch a football game. I went to the gym and found out my membership is now cancelled but they were nice enough to let me go ahead and workout because I was there, I did the Stepmill or the steps to nowhere.

Murphy-for you I did KCM's Plateau Buster #2 and here are my stats: 25 minutes, 6 in the zone, 157 min hr, 178 max hr, 201 calories burned. It was a good workout and my hr was up most of the time. She uses 12 and 7lb wts. in both workouts there is a wt workout followed by a cardio session.

Lisa-I am surprised the dr. will allow dh to fly, have some patience they are big babies when they don't feel good.
