40s - week of 6/26/2011

Good Morning,

Yesterday I went tubing for the first time not easy. Spent 4 hours with temperatures in the 90's heat index 107,so I got a little red. Tonite will be a walk temps are better today.
 
Hi, I'm back, and I can report that I did do MMA Fusion :) I don't know what in that workout really works my hip flexors and the top outside of thigh, will see if they are sore tomorrow like they were last time I gave it my all.

Roxie, tubing sounds fun (except for the icky river part) lol Tubing down Boulder Creek has been banned because of the water level being so high from all the snow meltoff in the mountains.

Mary, Yippee! no more grey! I guess I'm lucky, I have some grey (maybe more white), I call it highlights :) I got my hair color from my Grandma and she was more white, at first it bothered me when I started going grey/white, now I think I will just let it go natural.

Ronne, did you have a good time in London?

We have a cool front moved through here, 78 for high then zipping up to high 90's tomorrow. Even though it's cooler today, I still sweated a lot, I think it's the humidity.
 
Hi girls! Just finished BC, hadn"t done it in eons! Beach was beautiful yesterday, DH fell asleep in his chair and now he looks like a tomato! Roxie, tubing sounds fun! Do you have a boat? We just got a canoe. Lisa, I kind of avoid MMA Fusion, that up and down on the floor is too hard for me. If my hair was lighter in its original color, I might just let it go, but I am really a brunette, now I am kind of reddish. Murphy, what are you doing? Ronne, did you have fun? I thought about you in London! Are you going back to Wimbledon? I saw on the news this morning the Prince and his wife were there today. Have a good day, I need to mow the lawn again! Mary
 
Lisa-we were on a lake don't think I could swim in a river I am going to float down one next week.

Mary-my DHs sister has a boat. My oldest DD and her DH went with us.
 
Mary, the up and down is tough, I use the little step with 1 riser and use that as my "ground" in the down part. Try it, it's much better! Those turtle rolls I'm liking more, except that I can get up better when I hook my right leg under than my left leg, guess I'm less flexible that way.
 
Hi all

Had a great time on Friday night, thanks for asking. DH kindly let me have a lie-in on Sat morning cos I really needed it. Temps have rocketed up here over the weekend and it's got really humid. Went fruit-picking yesterday and it was baking! Today did Split Sessions UB as I was short of time.

Mary - sounds like you had a fun at the beach. Your DH sounds like mine - he always gets burnt in the sun.

Roxie - what is tubing?

Lisa - I'd love to have that immaculate grey hair that some women get that looks really stylish. I think I'd just look a mess though if I let mine go. Not quite ready for that yet! Hope you're not too sore tomorrow.

Back to the TV to watch more tennis!!
 
Tubing here is laying in a big round inner tube floating down the river and sometimes rapids (rapids - fast moving water over large rocks) in the summer, and in the winter, riding in a big round inner tube (some carry 2 people) down a snow covered bank. The hills at ski resorts have expanded to this.
 
Thanks for the explanation!

Did Tracey Anderson Cardio today. Off to London yet again, this is the final time for a little while at least! Work-related this time.
 
Hi girls! Did L&G today, I have been pulling out some old ones! Ronne, have fun again! I'm only going to Walmart today! Roxie, I love friends and family who own boats! Lis! What are you up to today? Have you been sleeping? Not me! Have a good day! Mary
 
Happy Tuesday, today I puttered around on the computer (looking for e-books) long enough that I almost ran out of time before I should be leaving for work. BUT, my desire to NOT got to work outweighed my desire to NOT workout, so I got in HIS cardio only.

Mary, I HAVE been sleeping pretty good, I think the stress a couple months ago is what drove my bad sleeping. Hope you start sleeping soon. Is it hormonal? I am sooooo much hotter in general this year it seems. In fact, walking into work I got here and was sweating! EW!

Ronne, I'd tell you to enjoy London, but I'm thinking it's less an enjoyable trip since it's for work.
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I didn't get a workout in last night DH and I went shopping to get things for our trip next week. Tonite is KCMs Split Sessions Upper Body some ab work and then its suppose to be the last cool day for a while so I will take the dog for a walk if I am not to tired only got 2 hours of sleep last night DH was snoring so bad.

Ronne-it would be great just to drive to london but not for work.

Mary-sounds like we are in the same boat.

Lisa-good job getting away from the computer to get your workout in.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did KCM 30min to Wts. instead of Split Sessions there was also standing ab work in this one. 2 mile walk completed.

Hi all

Had a pleasant evening last night even though it was work. Glad I won't be going back for a while though. Did the Tracey Anderson Mat workout. The hot weather's broken and w're back to dull skies again!

Lisa - did you buy anything on your ebook hunt? I'm reading a couple of really good things at the moment, a book about North Korea called Nothing to Envy by an American journalist and a new biography of Emily Dickinson which is fascinating.

Mary - any DOMS after L&G? That's a good one.

Roxie - where are you off to next week? Or did I miss that?
 
Howdy all, today was CTX UB, WHY OH WHY do I always think this is going to be an easy one? It's HOT, HOT, HOT here, going to be 100, can I come visit you Ronne, I'll take dull skies.

Ronne, the e-books was ones that I get from "friends" online. I have a whole bunch a books that I get from others via online sharing. So no $ spent :)
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is KCM KBXing, stretch and abs. I won't be going for a walk we are in a heat advisory.

Ronne-we are going to Valentine Nebraske to float down a river and ride bikes on a trail then we are headed to South Dakota to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Hot Springs, and other places. We are going to be staying in a tent at a camp ground.
 
Hi everyone! Today did MIS, but since I did legs yesterday, while they warm-upped and did legs, I did 2 miles on the TM. Beautiful day here! 75 and a nice breeze, no humidity. Tomorrow we are going to the beach house. Roxie, we are on vacation too next week. We rented a house with family. The kids are beyond excited to hang out with their cousins. Lisa, I almost did that w/o today, changed my mind at the last minute! I just finished the sweetest book, Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy, I just love her books. She makes me want to up and move into a cottage in Ireland! Murphy, you out there? Well, have to take the boys to get their hair cut, my oldest looks like Justin Bieber and we have to change that look! Mary
 
Wow Mary, what an oldie (the workout, not you)! Justin Bieber? there was a girl on America's Got Talent that looked like Justin Bieber, honestly, if I was that girl, I'd style my hair differently! I have some of Mauve's books but I haven't read them yet and have never read them. Seems I'm doing more collecting of books than reading of books. :eek:

Roxie, let's send our heat to Mary and Ronne!

Sounds like it's going to be quiet around here next week.
