Sunday I did Step Blast, but still don't have too much energy so I quit at the blast challenge, there is no way I could do jumping on the step without possibly hurting myself. I wonder if the no energy is from that time of month, even though I have no cycle, I still have some of the monthly irritants and maybe that's causing my lower energy.

DS22 and fiance came over Sunday and told us about their Vegas trip that DS's company mostly funded since it was a biz trip. DH and I are thinking of using our discounted airline ticket to go their since the discount is for $150 and the flight is about $150, so virtually a free ticket. DS's fiance said she would watch Yoshi while we were gone, thinking of maybe early Dec to go.

Jody, I graduated 1982 from Brandon High School. There is a FB group where they are planning their 30 yr reunion next year. Intensity series is pretty good, and I really like the pyramids. The abs are hard on PUB after doing all that UB work!!

I can't believe tomorrow is already MONDAY, ugh! And I'm on pager this week, I'm wishing for a quiet pager week, hope my wish comes true!
 
Hey Lisa! Today did HIIT 30/30, didn't feel like doing anything, this cold with the humidity is killing me! We usually go to Vegas in Dec., it is not too busy then, you don't have to wait for restaurants and such. Some of the shows are down then tho. I don't think we will be able to swing it this year with all the issues tho. DS opened the car door hitting DH's car, $1200 worth of damage. Then he spilled his pop on the laptop, it is drying out now. He is having a rough go of it! I graduated in '82 also. Roxie and Murphy did you get some sleep? Jody, I really enjoy that series, I am looking forward to the new set! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I am going to go sit on the couch! Talk to you tomorrow, Mary
 
Good Evening,

This morning I did Stretch Max resistance band and total body stretching woke up at 3:30am and my knees were killing me. I did sleep in until 9.

Mary-sounds like you are having a rough time. I can't wait to get the new series.

Lisa-dh and I are talking about Vegas next summer.
 
Mary, you drink pop, now I know for sure you are from OH.

Lisa, Melisa Campbell? She was Brandon and she may have been a year or so behind you, she was at least 2 yrs younger than me. I knew her from Erwin Vo Tech and recently called her to pick her brains on a subject. Just curious. Maybe no energy from lack of sleep?

I did two dance classes and my PLB. wow. I was tired when I got home..have been doing my online class work and will prep for work work tomorrow. No pager stress tho. Just need a sharp pencil and good dry erase marker. : )

Thanks for warning on abs from PUB. I wonder if I will get IMAX 2 done before work? Practical?
 
I did one of the Intensity premixes today. It felt good. I feel like I am getting back to normal. The little ones are with my parents but I did not sleep well. Funny, I cannot sleep well when they are here or when they are visiting. It is probably because I don't know what they are up to over there. Anyway, I hope to use this time to get myself and the house together.

Hi to everyone.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

DD and I went for a 2 mile walk at 5:30am it was really muggy. The temps are suppose to get back up into the 100's again this week. Tonite I need to do GS Chest and Tris plus abs.

Murphy-hope you get some sleep soon.
 
Hi girls! Today did GS legs, I seem to be in the minority here, but I really like to do legs. Murphy, isn"t funny? We can"t wait to get away from the kids for a bit, then we are dying for them to come back! Try and enjoy your alone time. Roxie, you are a good momma! 5;30 is early. Jody, I got tired reading about your w/o! I teach at a college also, nursing clinicals, lecture starts this week, I go back next week. Lisa, hope you didn:t get any late or early phone calls. I hear you about fatigue and your cycle, I was sapped this week, got about of day of a period and it was gone. Very annoying! Have a good day, need to go and mow. All this rain we have gotten has made the grass grow like a weed! Mary
 
Hi all, I still didn't sleep well and on top of it when I did sleep, I slept wrong on my neck and now I can't turn my head to the right. I did do 4DS premix lower body.

Murphy, you are in for a LOT of sleepless nights, just wait until they start driving! :p

Mary, pager duty actually started at 8am this morning so keep those good "no page" vibes coming. ;) I don't mind 4DS legs, but GS legs, UGH, I mean DOUBLE UGH!

Roxie, ANOTHER HOT week here, soooooo tired of this! Everyone here is, the radio person was saying how in Feb we will be complaining of how we are tired of the cold :)

Ronnie, are you back this week yet?

Jody, no, don't remember her, but heck I don't remember a LOT of anything from 30 yrs ago!

Have a good day, I hope this neck irons itself out!
 
What is the ugh factor in GS Legs? why?

I need to get IMAX2 in today in some form. I fiddle farted around too long this morn to squeeze it in, but had a good day at school.

BBL
 
Good morning girls! Rest day here, we are going to the beach for the day. Lisa, how's the neck? Did the pager go off? Roxie, sorry about the heat coming back! Murphy, when do your kids come home? Jody, how was work &imax2? That is a fun one! I think Ronne comes back next week. Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Morning,

Went for that really early walk again this morning and then I did some ab work.

Mary-enjoy your rest day.
 
Sleep great last night, so great I didn't even know we had an earthquake! An earthquake in CO??????? it was SE CO but the news said some felt it in Denver, crazy! No pages either, 1 down 6 more to go :) I still didn't have much energy (had night sweats last night so I know the hormones are crazy). I started LIS, stopped after 1st step routine, then 4DS KB, stopped before the warmup was over, so now I'm 30 min and still not wanting to work but don't feel like doing crazy jumping, so I walked/read on the TM for 2 miles. I remember I felt like this last year and when I went to the gyno she checked my thyroid and it was fine, so, I guess something is out of whack but not that, darn peri-menopause.

Mary, Enjoy the beach, er lake :) Sorry a FLA gal just can't call a lake a beach :) Neck is a bit better, maybe one more day and I'll be back to normal, at least DH can't make fun of me as I turn to the right :)

Roxie, a HOT one here again, so get ready!

Jody, did you do Imax2? What did you think?
 
Mary going to the beach? I know, right? Scuba Mary continues to confuse me, lols. (It doesn't take much)

I did first half of IMAX 2 but not until this morning. No workout yesterday. I also did Abs from CW. I have to get motivated much quicker if I want to work out before work. Waiting til later doesn't seem too good either since I have no time and am longing for a nap, not a jumpathon.

Roxie, I might get to my water park on Fri, assuming Irene sucks up all the bad weather for me and keeps it out in the Atlantic. I will think of you and your family in the kiddie pool, ha ha.

I prefer shorter workouts, so I'd prob opt for a timesaver pre mix on GS Legs, too.

Is Mary or Murphy the nursing teach? I can't see on this thread right now, but wanted to say, "cool" because I'm trying to get back into healthcare - respiratory.

Lisa, keep getting better w/ your neck and peaceful pager wishes continue.
 
Okay, I am getting rest but thanks to DH being Mr. Freeze and me being on my cycle (I swear my immunity takes a hit when my cycle comes), I am now sick. I am trying to do some walking versus a Cathe work out but my body is so tired. Plus, with the kids away (due back Saturday), I am trying to get them and their rooms ready for school. I am changing over all of their clothes (they are 3 and 6) and giving their rooms a good cleaning. I am so tired.

Jody - I am not a teacher and I too cannot remember what Mary does.

Hi to everyone.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

DD decided she was to tired to walk today so I got to sleep in. Tonite will be GS Standing Legs and PLB floorwork. I have to go see my oxygen pts. today so I will be on the road.

Murphy-my allergies went into full gear today need to get some more medicine, hope you get to feeling better.
 
I'm taking a rest day. I didn't sleep well and then finally when I did get back to sleep I slept late. I figured why do a workout that I'll just quit. I'm still in my funk. My neck is hurting again (must have been the tossing and turning that brought that back on since it felt ok last night).

Murphy, My immunity goes down at my cycle too. It's not in our heads all these things we feel during that time! Just wait a few years, then you will be in the throes of peri-menopause.

Jody, Mary is the nurse teacher. But don't we all sound so old saying I don't remember this or I don't remember that? I seem to not remember a lot lately and I'm sure it will only get worse.

I hope I get out of this funk soon. I just feel blah and yesterday I couldn't keep my train of thought on anything, it just kept bouncing around, I'd read a page and not know what I read. Makes reading a book take a LONG time when you have to re-read a page 3 times.
