40's week of 8/19/12

Semi planned rest day. Going into the office leaves me tired (and I'm not even hardly doing any work), so hoped to sleep in. Was up at my normal meno 2am time, and did sleep in a bit, I maybe could have eeked a w/o in but would have run uber late and I didn't have it in me to rush around, so took my time getting ready for work.

Jody, I'm eating better now that DH is traveling again and birthday celebrations are over.

Murphy, next time get a nozzle on the vacuum and suck that sucker up, that;s the only way I would have done it besides what you did....yea, your method would be my first choice and hopefully the little guy has moved on!

Mary, Is today school day? Boss is going on vacation for 2 weeks again, I feel some working at home time coming into play next week, thank goodness!
 
Hi everyone! Today did plyo legs and the rower. It was hard! Sometimes 30 seconds didn't feel like much of a rest! Lisa, the kids went off to school today. No one was happy about it! Not even me! Now the madness will start! Sorry about work, at least ou will be able to work from home soon. Jody, did you have a good getaway? You started back with double trouble? Murphy, my little one is my bug killer! I can't stand those silverfish! Crickets don't bother me too much, but a silverfish sends me running! Roxie, how are your legs today? Well, I am off to enjoy the silence! Mary
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is another killer workout with the PT. I am so ready for this week to be over today is a really bad day and I don't see it getting any better.

Mary-yea the bug is gone. Enjoy your short amount of me time.

Lisa-sorry I didn't mean to seem competitive just posting my stats.

Jody-I almost stayed on the TM to get to 3 miles but didn't.
 
Good Evening,

PT kicked my butt again but my weight was up 2lbs and my bf% is 1% she doesn't understand anymore then I do about what is going on and how to fix it.
 
I did MM tonight, yea me!

Roxie, no worries, just thought it was funny we did almost same w/o (TM). I would have said I did 3 miles if I were you though.

Murphy, did the cricket get you?

Mary, I haven't done plyo legs in ages, seems I have more varied leg workouts than UB workouts. And i like to do UB best, go figure

Jody, I don't think I ever go as fast as Cathe in AB, especially when she says to do faster, I think I go slower :eek:
 
I did about 35 min of AT today. I stopped early, thinking I was going to get a run in tonight, too, but I didn't. Oops.
Lisa, we aren't going slow, just really enjoying the full range of motion,lol.
Roxie, I know why my scale and bf% do what they do and it has everything to do with what I eat and not nearly as much with what I do as far as workouts. Eating after 6 pm is usually bad, too.
Mary, I hope the kids had a nice first day back. My dd was funny, txt me that she really appreciates how straight forward math classes are- she did a lot of writing this second half of summer in ENC1102 and Art appreciation, she's happy to use the other side of her brain.
Murphy, palmettos are the worst bugs imo. If I see one I can pretty much walk on water to get away. Strangely enough, we had a hissing cockroach as a pet for awhile, got it after an exciting field trip to a bug fair at some park. The worst pet in the history of ever. We gave him to science museum when we moved. Actually, I'm not a big fan of the Lubber Grasshoppers either.

Good Morning,

It is a beautiful rainy day here hope it last all day. I had pretty much talked myself out of going to the gym tonite but as the day goes on I am changing my mind a bad attitude is not going to help the situation but I know I won't be doing anymore PT sessions.

Jody-she doesn't think I am eating enough to support my workouts so I am slowing things down.

Lisa-it was funny we both chose the TM do be our workout and I guess I am to honest.
 
Happy weekend! Today did CTX UB and the r---r, I'm getting tired of saying it! Roxie, you are all done with the trainer? Did she punish you again last night? Hope work goes better today. Lisa, funny you like to work upper body, I love doing legs! Maybe together we would have the perfect body? Is DH home? Jody, is DD in college now? Did she go away or community? When do you start classes? Busy weekend here! Tonight football game, DD is in the band, tomorrow, 1st cross country race, Sunday we have our homecoming race, DS has to work the pancake breakfast fundraiser, DS and DD both have to march in the parade, then the band has to play at the homecoming fair! Have to get to Walmart, the children have eaten everything and of course need more stuff for school! Have a good day! Mary
 
So far no w/o, I do plan to do one later tonight. I slept in l-a-t-e....7:30! I work from home on fridays no matter what they say (everyone else does so just following the crowd). DH gets home late tonight.

Roxie, I know a w/o does my mood good (I felt so good last night even though I didn't really want to w/o). Why stopping with PT?

Mary, wow, that is a busy weekend! Homecoming, what fun!

Jody, my sons were very happy not to have to do many lang art classes since it was an engineering school they went to. Poor DS20 has one this semester, had to buy an ebook...Oh Pioneers! Now that sounds boring!
 
Lisa and Mary-next week is my final week with the PT and since I am not seeing the results I want I cannot justify spending the money on her.
 
Hey girls I am looking for a really good book one of those that grabs you in the beginning and you just don't want to put it down, its been awhile since I have found one like that.
 
Breaking the Silence by Dianne Chamberlain grabbed me, not sure if you've read that one yet. I'm now reading the Pact by Jodi Picolt which is pretty good. Are you sure you don't want to read Oh Pioneer! that my DS has to read for school? LOL One Breath Away by HEather Gundenkauf is good too though I can't remember what it was about now (I've never been able to remember books/movies). Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. Still Missing and Never Knowing by Chevy Stephens. Still Alice by Lisa Genova (LOVED THIS ONE). Wow, so many, let me know if you need them. You should get on Goodreads.com and be my friend to see all the books I've rated.
 
Lisa-I don't remember what your name was on good reads or how to get into your friends group. I am not very computer savvy.
 
Roxie, sent you friend request on goodreads, I had your email from before.

I did TTM, skipped compound leg and core with ub, so only about 40 min.
 
Mary, the 16 yo is dual enrolled high schooler at local college and the 19 year old is now a regular student there, so all three of us attending. Plus I work there.

I had my first class day today - positives: I think I made right choice for my long term and in the short term, classes will be pretty easy. Negatives: I spent some of my day thinking about how the professor could/should improve her lecture with better power points, organisation and even correct borderline mis information. Plus, I had to buy a 180 dollar lab kit that contained about 25 dollars worth of disposable stuff like a nc and neb set up. groan. Seriously, a 180 dollar bag of corrugated disposable tubing, o2 equipment, etc.
Interestingly, they didn't fill my spot in the other program.

Not sure about workout, I woke up at 330 am with bizarre dreams of trying to navigate upward thru the ceiling thru a dark moist tube trying to get to the next level. Honest.

Staying positive, grateful for what I do know, open to that which I need to learn.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did some run walk intervals on the TM. PT wasn't happy that I am done training with her.

Jody-that is some dream

Lisa-I got your friend request thank you.
 
Did DM this morning, skipped last drill, was wiped out. Then I realized, this is how I feel when my BP is low. I think now that I'm past the stress of the last couple of months (Yoshi, skin cancer) that I need to drop back down to 1/2 pill. As it is a whole pill is still the lowest dose they have. Just glad I figured out why I've been so wiped out.
 
Lisa, hope you feel better. Waves to all. I did an Intensity premix today. Got a pedi with my sometimes guy friend this morning -happy for cute toes even tho I don't like to start my day out in such a luxurious manner. Weird, huh?
