40's week of 6/17/12

Hi all

Quick post.

Lisa - congrats! will check pics later.

Jody - I say go for it! The advantages sound like lots of fun!

Roxie - wow, your PT is mean!! But I bet you're getting good results.

Hi Becky.

Did KCM Split LB today as I was pushed for time. My shoulders are hurting, right at the top, I think from all the burpees, etc. in AB so wanted to avoid using upper body. Think I may have DOMS tomorrow. Off to lunch with friend, replace all those calories ;)!
 
Hi all. Just a quick post to say that I have been sick and am still feeling under the weather. My 4 year old in in a new class at school and I must have gotten hit with ALL the new germs. I am tyring to rest, but it has not been happening.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

My legs are still sore its hard for me to get up and down the stairs at home and tonite is another session with her to make up the one I missed last week. Maybe I should suggest foam rolling.

Ronne-she definetly likes her leap frogs and she pushes me to work harder which is what I needed.

Lisa-I will look at pictures when I get home.
 
Hi girls! Survived a day at work! ha! I do have to go back next week. I sound soooo pitiful! Anyway, did BC today, so hot and humid here, even with the air on! Lisa, your hike looked beautiful! How long does that take? Jody, what 8 lbs would you be talking about? Sounds like you enjoy your time dancing, I'm with Ronne, do it! Roxie, I can't believe you are paying to be tortured! Good luck tonite! Did you see the new clip? I am scared! Thank goodness for a pause button! Ronne, are you guys hot over there? Did you get any tickets for the Olympics? Murphy, hope you feel better soon! Becky, how old is the puppy? Hope everyone has a good day, taking the kids to the pool, Mary
 
Hey girls, I'm 110% wiped out! My forearms are a bit sunburned and my nose too. My eyes feel like sandpaper, not sure why! Had a good time, just wish I could have vegged out at home and not come in the office to do nothing :)

Ronne, yea for DOMS! My shoulders have been feeling it there too lately.

Roxie, if you survive that PT, you can survive anything!

Jody, that dancing sounds like so much fun, I think you should do it too. I know my hips just don't move that way!

Becky, good for you for getting all that in.

Mary, we have a cool day today, so maybe you will have cooler weather tomorrow. I saw where it's uber hot there. Also met someone on the mountain from Cleveland. Her first 14er and she was doing it with her World Record holder brother (he was NOT friendly until the top when he could brag to us how wonderful he is and name dropped that he hiked with world class people, gah! who cares!)

Murphy, hope you feel better. DH is finally feeling better, nothing worse than a summer cold.
 
Ack, not getting workout done today~ we were supposed to dance at the green market but it was supposed to rain all day and eve (it pretty much did) so that was cancelled. Instead some of the girls came over and we worked on sewing hooks on costumes. I have to make mine wider, dang it. Anyhooo, its 8 pm and IDK if workout gonna happen but I'm glad I got a lot of other things done. Re dance troupe, I will prob just stick with gypsy troupe for now, but I sure have a lot of fun when I get to dance with the besties in the big girl troupe.

Lisa, what a goon you met on your hike! But the views were spectacular and I bet it felt wonderful to spend the day with a friend working out. I hope you are rested up soon.

Mary, Ihaven't seen the clips yet but I am counting on premixes to save me. I just realized there were some good pm on STS total body. Yay for forums and exchanging info and support.

Roxie how was session this eve? I think she should give you a foot rub!

Murphy, I'm sorry you ended up with a cold, yuck! I haven't had one in a long time, knock on wood...

Ronne, lol, replacing calories burned w/ lunch with friend is good idea. : )

Waves to Becky- is you dd trying to keep up w/ workouts too?
 
Good Evening,

Well I sent a text message to PT asking her if we could just foam roll tonite and she said sure but when I got there she said we were doing arms, well it turned out to be abs and arms, then I came home and did a stretch.

Jody-I have totally new respect for you we did TRX tonite and it was killer. She had me put my feet in the handles and do pushups.
 
Roxie, so much for foot rub. Oh well. I'm not sure what TRX is so don't get too impressed with me! I've been doing Weider X Factor, described as Insanity Light.
 
Hi all

Roxie - what is TRX? Whatever it is, it sounds tough!

Jody - so what does your gypsy dance troupe do?

Lisa - great photos, the guy sounds like a chump! So did you take a rest day yesterday? You deserved it!

Mary - No, no olympics tickets for us. I tried to get gymnastics tickets but no look. I'll be watching it on TV like everyone else! Looking forward to it though. I do have Wimbledon tickets again this year so can't complain too much.
I bet BC was a killer in the heat!

Myrphy - get well soon!

Planning to do Step Moves today plus Yoga abs from Ab Circuits. My shoulders still hurt so I don't want to any dropping to the floor moves. Work is really quiet so I'm making the most of it, it'll kick off again next week!
 
I'm delaying doing my w/o today. I came home from work and vegged on the couch all night. I was famished all day yesterday too and rehydrated. Feeling more like myself now. I will be doing UB.

Mary, we were on the trail 8.5 hrs. My friend said I added 1/2 hr to the time since I had to climb halfway back up to the summit to retrieve my lost poles (did you all read that comment on the picture?). I was so mad! The most steep part I had to do 2 times! It was like a 20% incline over boulders, you had to use 3 points of contact to navigate (or at least I did).

Roxie, thought of you as we wished for oxygen up there. My friend got a bad headache. I think she wasn't hydrated enough from all the benadryl she took trying to dry up her nose from running from allergies. Your PT sounds about as brutal as my hike!

Jody, with all I ate yesterday I think I replaced all my hiking calories with pizza and cookie and, and, and. I even hit the vending machine at work, everyone was shocked.

Ronne, Sometimes it's nice to have slow work, I'm taking off 1/2 day today to go meet up with an old friend I haven't seen in 2+ yrs. She called me out of the blue, hmmmmm.

Becky, how are you doing?

Murphy, any news from your part of the world?

I hope to be back to report a workout soon.....
 
I did BM2 Double UB PM, minus the w/u, pushups, and only 1 time through on abs (minus side planks). My arms just didn't feel strong enough to hold me up. As it was, I got done and then had a sick feeling as I realized I was starving again. What's up with that? I think my electrolytes are totally whacked by that hike.
 
Lisa I looked at your fb pics on my phone, I can't see comments, or at least am not set up to do so. So it was more grueling than joyful?
Ronne enjoy your lull in the work. Gypsy troupe is no audition and we only perform once in awhile, only need one costume. Its most fun to dance with good dancers but at this point, all the good dancers from the big troupe are also dancing in gypsy for grins so I may get the best of both worlds. Maybe in the fall I will see if I can join the big troupe- there is just a lot of stuff up in the air right now.
I completed x factor disc 6 for third time. Waves to all, have a great day. Maybe I will hit the beach tomorrow or Sunday with my girls, we never made it last week.
 
Jody, I have the same problem on my phone. I have to click on the picture to read the comments. I wish there was a setting to change, maybe there is and I don't know it. I was soooooo mad when I realized I lost my poles that were tied onto my backpack when I got down from the steepest section! I had to climb back up and get them, HOPING I would find them. The part I climbed twice was the section with the snow, grrrr, thankfully I found them! That must be why this hike really wiped me out, that and the sun, it's intense at that elevation!
 
Good Afternoon,

I had to load and deliver a hospital bed by myself, took the man boss he can't lift so I have had a busy morning. I went to spin class this morning and its funny my butt doesn't bother me anymore and my legs don't feel to bad but I do have another session with the evil PT. TRX is that strap looking thing that hooks to a door or a bar and you use your own body wt. do to pullups the pushups we did one legged squats and other exercises and none of them require a wt just you.

Lisa-I would have loved to deliver oxygen to you. Its amazing how hungry we get after a major workout. BM2 Upper Body is a tough one impressed after all that hard work.

Jody-what did you think of So You Think You Can Dance last night?

Ronne-be careful with your shoulders, and TRX is tough I liked everything but the pushups they were horrible.
 
Hi girls! Today did KM, not my favorite, it felt neglected! Lisa, what a jackalope! There's always one in the bunch! Sorry about your poles, I would have been frustrated! Ronne, won't you be able to see the marathon for free? When is Wimbledon? Roxie, you are going to be a machine! I heard that TRX is HARD! Murphy, you feeling better? Jody, what is a gypsy dance like? Did you go out with the new boy yet? Did you mention that before or am I just making stuff up in my head? Becky, how are things going? Took the kids to the pool again. Crazy hot here, hopefully we will cool down tomorrow? The dryer is calling my name. Did anyone else see the news clips? The look scary! Mary
 
Good Evening,

The PT took me into the gym again and worked me good. My wt is up but my bf% is down 2% and muscle mass is up 2% so all is good.
 
WTG Roxie! Do you watch SYTYCD too? I liked it, I'm glad burlesque girl went home but other than that I'm not too attached to anyone yet. Did you get the bed done ok?
Lisa, when is the next hike?
I taught a dance class tonight, last one til?? indefinitely... I made it a toughie. : )
Mary, I'm not in touch w/ ff boy but I've been out with another nice guy, maybe see him again tomorrow. I'll let ya know!
 
Hello

Jody - well, it sounds like gypsy troupe is fun. Good luck with the new fella :D! Hope you make it to the beach this weekend.

Roxie - congrats!! Those statistics are fantastic! You must be so pleased.

Lisa - well done for getting any workout in after that hike. Especially going up and back to the top - you numpty!!

Mary - enjoy the pool! So envious, it's more like October here. Wimbledon starts on Monday and we go two weeks today!!

Did MMA Boxing today. Trying to look for workouts that don't use upper shoulders. It's harder than you realise! Off into town this pm as work is quiet, might as well make the most of it. Just doing a bit of browsing (for me!!), need to get a new lipstick, that sort of stuff. Nice quiet weekend for a change! Looking forward to it.
 
Ronne, enjoy. Interesting concept, do you pretty much have one lipstick, consume it, then purchase a new one? You don't have 50 thousand in various states of non use and gloss levels and semi rejected shades laying around?

Today is a Cathe...I'm trying to decide among Intensity step or step and Hiit, Athletic step, circuit blast or Lich or an athletic training pm, the one that has step twice and fewer wt isolation.
Wait...I've narrowed down to LICH or Intensity step + Lo hiit (less equipment, more cardio, fewer big plyo moves)
