40's - week of 3/25/12

Aaaaah, getting some fabulous zzzzzzz's! Aaaaah the power of estrogen! Woke up a couple of times but went right back to sleep (haven't done that in ages). Next thing I knew it was 7, so much for doing an UB w/o before my hike today.

Roxie, we have a wildfire here. So far 2 fatalities and 25 homes lost. Surely it's not the smoke from here you smell! :)

Jody, I'm sure it didn't look that bad, funny pic though! i hear ya about the thoroughness of skin checks. I still dread they cervix check more than the skin check, both my dr are women too.

Mary, sounds about like my bowling! I'm sure the kids have a good time.

Hi to Ronne and Murphy. I'll check in later after my hike, so nice to sleep in late and have the day off!

Hi all

Brief post today - busy with work and Easter holidays are approaching so time is running out ...

Lisa - enjoy the hike - you sound like a very happy bunny. Pills are working!!

Jody - love the hair!

Mary - I thought all Americans were brilliant at bowling?!! Isn't it your national sport? :p

Roxie - enjoy the sunshine despite the smoke!

Did 4DS CST premix - didn't have time to fit anything else in. 22 degrees here today - Scotland has had record March temps. Weird.
 
Good Morning,

Had problems sleeping the smoke was burning my eyes we had the bedroom window open because it was warm in the house. Tonite I am going out to DDs to walk and then pack some more if it doesn't rain.

Lisa-its a yearly occurence here they burn off the dead grass to make room for the green grass so for about a week it gets pretty smokey. Its funny we purposely start fires here and you guys have wildfires.

Ronne-suppose to be great here again today but thunderstorms are moving into the area.
 
Roxie, it was a prescribed burn here of some trees in the foothills of the mountains that had some leftover burning embers that started the wildfire 4 days later when the winds kicked up. 3 days so far and 0% containment. I'm north of it, the wind is blowing south so no smoke for me thank goodness. The sad part is the couple who died in their house and the people that lost their houses are not able to get any compensation since it was a prescribed burn and they can't sue the state over that. (not that I'm a proponent of suing). It's been a very dry March---and it's our snowiest month normally!

Ronne, I was just previewing my planned hike with the dog, I hope I can do it! There are some steep sections! 3.2 miles and 1,250 elevation gain. Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew!
 
Lisa, how do you insert those thumbnail pics again?? how was the hike? Dog do ok too?

Mary, you are still my hero even if you had bumpers and lol to Ronne re our national pass time and aren't you guys responsible for Curling???

Roxie, too bad smokie happened same time as open window weather! Once when my kids were little we lived where there was a wildfire summer and we even would have bits of ash falling in the yard. It was so miserable we left town and went camping in 90 billion degree weather.

Murphy, did your back resolve or did you end up at chiro?

I did MIS- the upper body parts and abs. Tough for me, my pecs and bi's were quivering during the workout.
 
Hi all! Today did premix from Intensity, HIIT x2 and BC. Don't know why! Legs are sore from yesterday! I thought maybe it would work out the soreness. I think it increased it! Jody, I haven't done MIS in a long time. I think I feel a little peer pressure coming on! Lisa, how was the hike? Did you both make it? Roxie, no fires here. How exciting about the house! Ronne, this Easter bunny needs to put her thinking cap on! I can't believe it is next weekend! Hi to you Murphy! DH took the kids out running, I am now going to enjoy a few moments of silence! Mary
 
Good Evening,

DH didn't go work on the house tonite so I decided to stay home with him. We are in a Severe Thunderstorm Watch fun fun. I did KCMs Cardio Sculpt using 7 & 10lb wts and it was a good workout.

Stats:
24 min
7 in the zone
148 min hr
177 max hr
168 cals burned.

Lisa-that sucks for those families something should be done.
 
All this talk of MIS - I have to check to see if I have that one. If I do it must be the very last one in the pile. I have not seen it or looked for it in a long time. Anyway, today was a css premix. How do these premixes kick my butt? Well, I guess just b/c it is shorter does not mean it is less intense. Blah, blah, blah.

Lisa - that is so crazy about the prescribed fires andnot able to sue. WTH?

Hi to all, have a great day.

Murphy
 
I previewed Intensity this morning...ahem, you know you are a genuine Cathelete when you choose Intensity for "recovery" day, (Mary), lol
 
Hello

Another quick post!

Jody - curling!! That's Scottish! I've only ever played it on the Wii!!

Mary - I've got Intensity lined up for tomorrow. Great minds think alike.

Lisa - so how was the hike? Did you make it?

Hi to Roxie and Murphy.

Did Tracy Anderson mat workout today (minus arms). I needed to work bottom half but I've got a pulled muscle in my buttock (ha, ha, ha) so wanted to take it a bit easier. I didn't get so deep into plies and stuff and it was fine.
 
Hi everyone, no w/o today, I was sleeping again! I'm sleeping 9-10 hrs a night, I must be trying to catch up on sleep! I may try to get an UB w/o in tonight before I go pick up DH from airport. Turns out he won't be traveling for the next couple of weeks! The hike was WON-DER-FUL, so relaxing, it was a steep one! A bit difficult handling dog, poles, pack, breathing all by myself. I will definitely do another one again. I need to get in shape for those 14ers this summer.

Jody, would LOVE to have you tackle these climbs with me. To insert an attachment click on teh arrow next to the paperclip in the window where you type.

Roxie/Murphy, I see where our fire made national news this morning. Too early in the season for this to be happening!

Ronne, I thought curling was a Canadian thing. Polo is the England's thing? We did make it to the top of the trail, for only 75 degrees I sure was sweating a lot still (I'm a good sweater)

Jody, I sure feel like I burned more calories than Endomondo said....I don't think it took in the incline !

Mary, I'm not a fan of MIC or Intensity, I won't be joining anyone on those!

Here's a link to the pics from yesterday's hike if you aren't on my FB.

Good Morning,

Tonite for me is suppose to be a walk with DD if its not raining and do some more packing. I am taking some time off this afternoon to go watch them put the trusses up on DDs house never seen it done before and its exciting.

Lisa-they have finally stopped burning around here. I hope you don't have anymore fires this year.
 
Hi girls! Today was CSS, needed a short w/o. Lisa, so glad you are sleeping and the pills are working for you. You and your grandbaby looked like you had fun! Roxie, sounds like the house is really coming along. Murphy, great minds think alike? Jody, let me know what you think of Intensity, I have never done the step portion, just the premixes. Ronne, I have that dvd. I never feel like I am doing it right! She is much more graceful than me! The kids just got home from the aquarium, have to hear the scoop! Have a good night, Mary
 
Good Evening,

Tonite DD and I went for a walk at her current residence and it was nice then DH and I went to Carlos for supper. We are in a tornado watch tonite which isn't good now that the start of the roof went up today. I got a raise on my paycheck today but I still don't think its enough. My DH is contemplating a change in his position with his current company that won't have him traveling at all like Lisa and her DH we just have to check the money issue.
 
Hi all

Flyby I'm afraid. DD finishes school in a few minutes for 2 weeks holiday. Got Intensity step only in this morning. (Mary, just so you know, it's tough!! I think it's her toughest step segment.)

Will pop in on Sunday to catch up properly then won't be around the rest of the week.
 
Good Morning,

Today for me is a walk don't know if it will be with DD or at the park and then if we are not going to pack I will do KCMs Body Training.

Ronne-have fun with DD.
 
OK, smack my a$$ and bounce some quarters off it cuz I just did Intensity. : D
I think i will do the boot camp chapter 2x when boot camp comes up in my rotation, at least I will put it in the pile. What do you think? It would be 20 min long w/o a warm up...
Yesterday all I did was dance class. I grumbled all afternoon about trying to come up with a nice class and get the right music only to show up to a full class of eager students who were full of compliments so that was sooo extremely nice and motivating. : ) I will try to whine a lot less next week.
Ronne, enjoy your week, you will still get workouts in?
Lisa, I'm glad your hubby will be home for a few weeks. I can't find the arrow or the paperclip. Do you take buddy on those hikes for safety or company or both? How many others do you see on the trail?
Roxie good luck with your dh job decisions. Are you thinking of looking for a different job, too?
Mary, it seems like ages since I've done anything fun with my kids like aquarium, I know you didn't go w/ them, but that made me think of that.
Waves to Murphy~~
 
Hi all! Today did MIS, peer pressure, I remembered why it was at the bottom of the pile, it's long! Roxie, congrats on the raise! Ronne, enjoy DD's break! Jody, did you do all of Intensity? I do like the BC portion. Funny about your dance class, you must be a great instructor! Lisa, are you at work? Need to get to shower, then Target! Mary Jody, I wanted to go to the aquarium, my folks beat me to it!
 
Hi everyone! Another good sleeping night! I felt like a sleepy slug this morning. I worked from home today so finally after lunch I did my w/o (I couldn't stand to come and report I didn't w/o again!). I needed to do UB but I was so bored with the workouts so I started STS again. Did disc 13, Meso 2, CST. Felt good. I'm sure I'll have DOMS tomorrow, they will match my DOMS from my hike. Quads from the steep hike, plus lots of little leg muscles that you never feel.

Jody, Mostly for company, the trail we did was crowded, too crowded! I figure as long as tell someone where I'm going and it's a populated area I should be good. I don't think the dog would protect me from a man or anything (my previous dog would have), she was so scared of all the people, she hid behind my legs when they paid her too much attention (and she got a lot, her look is unique). The paper clip is right by the smiley face at the top. Are you blind? just kidding...I assume you are on a computer and not a smart phone? Good job with the dance, I'd love to take a class from you but then I'd make a fool out of myself I'm sure! Consider yourself smacked and bounced! :)

Ronne, enjoy the break, any special plans?

Roxie, WTG on the raise! It never seems like enough, does it?

Mary, I'm running so behind today, I'm thinking of skipping the shower, again...EW! That's 2 days, no shower, eek! I figure why dry out my skin and hair if I don't have to. Hoping the estrogen helps with the dry skin too, DH is enjoying the fuller breasts :p

Murphy, you still hangin in with the workouts?
