40's - week 8/5/12

I'm feeling fine today. I'm still getting dd financial aid figured out. It reminds me of dealing with medical insurance. Ick.
You guys would have laughed at me yesterday- there were a series of misadventures and close calls as I tried to get my background check done for my program. At one point I'm at the ATM machine which was situated facing direct late afternoon sunshine with no screening whatsoever, needing to get cash out before close of business. I couldn't see anything on screen at all, couldn't even tell if it was working, due to glare. In desperation I scampered back to my hot un air-conditioned van and grabbed a sheet leftover from doggie vet trip, made a big blue makeshift tent over my head and the atm, right there in front of grocery store, in order to complete my transaction and get back to the business. lol but mission accomplished.
OK, today I did the rest of my upper body parts and abs using PH. Not sure what else will manifest today as far as workout.
It sounds like everyone except Murphy are getting some family and friends fun time, enjoy.
 
I did AT this morning. It was good - until I remembered that I forgot that two risers was/is still a bit much for me. The rest of it was good. Plus, I got to use the new med strength band that I bought at the roadtrip.

Ronne - have fun on your trip. I don't know what the eye is either but I too love a science museum.
Roxie - feel better soon.
Mary - that guy at the theater would weird me out too. DH and I are supposed to see Batman soon, but are thinking of going during the day versus the night - not that the nuts are not out during the day...
Lisa - enjoy the mountains. Good idea to get a hotel.
Jody - have fun with all that paperwork and good luck w/ everything else. Loved the ATM story!
Becky - hi to Becky.

Good Evening,

Dh and I went on a 10 mile hike and I know have greater respect, admiration and appreciation of Lisa and her bf that was a lot of work and the altitude makes it even harder. I took Dayquil yesterday and I feel somewhat better tonite I am going to take nyquil. I am having fun even though I don't feel good.
 
Did 4DS KB only premix plus core work. DH was snoring last night so I did not get much sleep and I did not want to get up this morning. My legs are still sore from yesterday so I don't know how much lower body work I would have gotten done anyway. Waves to all.

Roxie - glad you are having fun and I hope you feel better soon.

Murphy
 
Hi ya,
I did my Thurs eve run to boot camp class, workout and run back. It works out to be an hour and half deal. I have a double chamomile and am headed to shower then bed. I bought collard greens today, I think you steam them?
Murphy, hope for a better night sleep for you. Waves to all
 
Just got back from the hike. Got up at 3am, on trail by 5:20am, got to summit at 11:45am, didn't get down until 4:40pm. We was tired! I can barely walk! 9 miles 4700ft, OMG!

Roxie, I could have used an oxygen drop!

Found out Mt Elbert highest mtn in CO, 2nd highest in US.

Sorry for lack of personals, I'm not sure how many workouts this counts as! I have NEVER been this tired.
 
Did a Yoga Relax premix. It was better than I thought. Someone how I remembered being bored with it but that may have been the whole workout and not a premix. ???

Lisa - OMG, that is not only a long day, but a crazy long day. Rest up.

Waves to all.

Hi Ladies!

It's been a busy few days and just haven't had time to check in. Had a lovely time in London, then went out with friends yesterday to Blenheim Palace. The sun is shining and getting us in the mood for Corfu. Did S&G today, trying to get a couple of workouts in over the weekend before we go on Monday.

Lisa - hope you are taking a big rest today, you deserve it!

Hi to everyone else, sorry for lack of personals!
 
Hi girls! Today did LIS Trisets UB. Ronne, have a fantastic vacation! Lisa, hope you are sleeping and rest yourself! Roxie, hope you are feeling better. Murphy, I actually enjoy YR! Really stretches you good. Jody, sounds like a brutal workout! Twins had a great day, dinner was good. Have to run to school, DD wants us to take her to lunch! Mary
 
Jody - I aspire to do that, run/jog to the workout and then back home. You see I have not posted anything about doing it...

Ronne - what is Corfu and what was the Blenheim Castle like?

Murphy
 
I didn't workout today but did get brakes fixed on one car, picked up my dog from vet (in a box, that makes two, but its actually nice to have her home, I'm glad dd insisted on having cremation and getting ashes back) and had appt w/ woo woo energy guy where we talked diet and spirituality and finally tea with besties that lasted til midnight.
Murphy, my scale loves it when I do those long workouts in the evening. Lisa, were you off work today? Sounds like you need to recover. Ronne, how long are you guys gone for? Mary, I'm happy bd turned out nicely. I usually stress over bd celebrations and therefore don't look forward to them. Roxie, enjoy the rest of the weekend. ttfn, be back w/ workout report tomorrow.
 
I should be done with AB but am avoiding it. I reall don't want to do anything right now but I ate a ton of cookies so...I guess I better get to it!

Waves to all.

Hi all

Murphy - go do it. You'll feel better after, I promise! Blenheim is here: Stately homes in England, Historic Houses and Days out Oxfordshire. We didn't go to the palace but just the grounds, there are good play areas for kids. Corfu is a Greek island.

Jody - we're going for two weeks!!

Mary - are your kids back at school now? That went quickly!

Did the triple Tabata premix from CRF. Didn't want to do anything too long today but knew I had to do something. Perfect, as I really pushed myself with it being short. Getting the house cleaned up before we go and doing last minute shopping.
 
Okay Ronne - I not only did AB, I also did segment 3 of Core Max (medicine ball w/ a little stability ball too). I forgot how much I liked segment 3. I usally just do the first on b/c it is no equipment.

Ronne - The Greek island sounds nice. Bring me something back. :)

Murphy
 
Happy weekend! Today did Intensity, a premix and the rower. Ronne, when are you going to Spain? Can I come to Corfu with you? I have always wanted to go to Greece! Lisa, how are you feeling today? I bet your legs are sore! Murphy, good job pushing yourself. Jody, I really dislike car maintenance, I know it's important, I just don't like paying for it! Roxie, are you coming home today? Last night we got to see DD with the band, last day of band camp. brought me to tears, so amazing. We have to go school shopping today, back to school in 2 weeks! Have a good one, Mary
 
Hi ladies, I did take a rest day Friday (forget the fact I could barely walk as an excuse :) ), and I'm taking one today. Major DOM in quads, having trouble getting on even my high toilet!

I worked 1/2 day at home friday, that's going to be my plan until they tell me I can't (and I don't think they will). Then I went out shopping to spend all my birthday coupons! Oh what fun. I got some Ryka shoes at DSW for $25. The ones I wanted they didn't have my size, the guy looked and found same thing but different color (black) for 30% off, then I had a coupon for $20 off to come back to DSW (I haven't bought anything for a while), then I had my $5 off birthday coupon, fun! Love a deal! Then went to Kohl's to spend my $10 cash that DH got last week when he spent $50, and I got me a pretty little nightgown. Nice and cool and soft and cute! Then I went to Sally's and got $10 off for my birthday. Hopefully what I got will help my hair feel thicker. I thought about getting hair color but I was worried I wouldn't be happy with any color other than what I have now, so hopefully DIL will take me shopping since you have to be licensed cosmetologist to get the Paul Mitchell PM shines. If she doesn't (because she is so forgetful and I hate to pester her), I found a place to order it online (but it will cost almost 2x as much as I could get with DIL---although I always buy her something so not really sure I'm saving anything :) )

Murphy WTG on AB! I always liked seg 2 of core max.

Jody, I don't think my scale is loving me lately, can we trade scales?

Mary, glad the BD went well. DH is tired of me saying it's my birthday....I tend to celebrate the whole month! lol

Ronne, have a great trip! WE will all be here jealous as usual!
 
Good Evening,

DH and I arrived home tonite and its amazing how much better I feel since leaving the mountains. Tomarrow will be spent catching up on laundry and house cleaning even though we would rather spend the day on the boat.

Lisa-sorry I haven't wished you happy birthday yet I did all my posting on my cell phone and I don't like doing it that way.
