40s - week of 8/21/11

Hi girls! Today did HR, that tricep section gets me every time! The beach/lake was wonderful! Sunny with a great breeze. Lisa, hope you feel better soon. I get in that place too. Makes me crazy. Roxie, good to hear you got to sleep in. Murphy, sorry to hear you are sick. I'm starting to feel better. Colds are annoying. Jody, hope that Irene stays far away from you. They said that we should have felt the quake yesterday too. I missed it! Well, I need to clean and figure out what to do with the kids. Only 5 more days and they will be back at school! Have a good day. Mary
 
Ok girls its 12:30 here and the temp is 91 with a heat index of 106. I am tired of this heat and unfortunately I have been in it most of the day.
 
Roxie, I've been in the heat most of the day too because they can't cool this office for some reason. It's getting tiring and I have a migraine coming on. Put in a work request for them to fix the a/c again (last time someone fainted and they had to call emergency). This is ridiculous that they can't get the cooling right on the top floor. Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter, and I'm getting grumpier about it!

Lisa-the ac is broke here to its 80 degrees and I got a migraine yesterday and its still hanging in there guess I need to do the old coke and excedrin trick to get rid of it. We just discovered our ac is iced over.
 
Roxie, they finally got it cooled off in here, and now it's time to go home, nice. this wouldn't be so irritating if it wasn't such a constant thing.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did GS Standing Legs and PLB Floor Work my legs are cooked and DD wants to add a mile to our walk in the morning. It has finally cooled down here its 89 with a heat index of 88.

Lisa-our ac at work hasn't been working since the end of July or the first part of August but the boss didn't do anything about it and then he had a heart attack and can only work part time.
 
Good Morning,

Its a nice cool morning here DD and I went for a 3 mile walk and if felt great nice cool breeze blowing of the lake sun was coming up perfect way to start the day.
 
Ah, slept great! I couldn't blow off working out again and CCC was up so I actually did it! I feel so accomplished now :) So hopefully only thing left to fix is my stiff neck, still! Oh, and the heat, we expect another record breaker, at least work feels a bit cooler and the blinds are mostly pulled shut from the glaring sun. These people, would much rather see out than stay cool.

roxie, sounds like a WONDERFUL walk!
 
Hi girls! Late day today, meetings to get ready for work next week. Did the TM today, very humid here, can't stop glowing! Lisa, CCC? At the bottom of my pile! Hope that your neck feels better. Roxie, sounds like a great way to start your day. I wonder if Jody is getting hit by Irene? Murphy, how are you feeling? Are you still cleaning? Ronne should be back next week, I wonder how Spain is? Well, I better go figure out dinner! Talk to you tomorrow, Mary
 
Well I can't believe it its 4:00 here and the temp is 88 can't wait to get off work and enjoy.

Lisa-hope your neck feels better.

Mary-I am like you that workout is at the bottom of my pile to.
 
OK, so which one is CCC?

No, storm is not too close, just feeder bands, some hard wind and rain today but nothing big. Prob do water park tomorrow before they close for weekdays when it is less crowded.

I did PUB shoulders only this morn (got PUB Ch and Back yest morn), and did about 3 miles of running, half of it 30/30 interval style followed by 4 min of bodyrock interval thing.
Thank goodness for second wind b/c when I come home from work I just want a nap and coffee.

OK, I am running to store so I can finish making turkey chili. Nice to see what everyone is up to. Yea! for Thursday being here!
 
Oh, CCC looks like fun to me. I've had it in my cart on several occasions but for now I am determined to utilize the ones I already have.

I completed PUB Bi and Tri and core/ball/abs this morning, but I didn't get a good work out w/ the abs b/c I can't do a lot of the moves yet, so I added PH abs at end. I want to research the benefits/theory of pyramid. What is the benefit of coming back down? Endurance?

I'm looking forward to some fun slides Rapids Water Park - Attractions - Big Thunder and a snooze in the sun today and some time w/ my girlies.
 
Good Morning,

Went for a 2 mile walk with DD it was nice and cool and then I did Med Ball Abs without partner.

Jody-glad to hear storm isn't near you have fun at the waterpark.
 
Hi girls! Did C&W this morning, fun! Jody, have fun at the waterpark! Stay away from Irene! Murphy, are you in the storm's way? Be safe! Roxie, whT are you up to this weekend? Lisa, any late night calls? Hope your neck is brand new! Have to get to Walmart today. DS starts cross country in the morning. He has to be at the bus at 6:30? On a Sat? Sunday, we have a parade and then school starts on Monday! Happy day! Have a good Friday, will talk to you later, Mary
 
Happy Friday! I think I must have eaten my wheaties, feeling a bit more energetic. Maybe because it's friday and I'm working from home today since boss is on vacation :) My neck is almost back to normal, pager quiet (only 3 more nights). I did JL R&C and then walked/read 2 miles on TM. Hey it's one way to get more movement in my day and kills 2 birds with one stone :)

My GF and I are planning our next 14er, 4 in a day, heading out Tuesday and doing it Wed. We may river raft on Tuesday....I haven't been in ages, but it's also the end of the season so not sure how good the water will be. I'm leaving it up to her to decide. I want one outing that I don't have to plan! Seems DH's can never do any planning!

Mary, kids have been back to school here this week, and the classrooms are so hot since they aren't air conditioned. That's so cool about your DS doing cross country but sooooo early!

Roxie, glad the morning was nice, I'm betting the afternoon will be hot. It was awful here (but thankfully work has the A/C cooling more again).

Murphy, Are the kids coming back, what's up with Irene and your area?

Jody, Soon you will own all the Cathe dvds :) You will get the PUB Ab moves down (took me a while to get the pike on the ball going and now I like that better than the rolling in version). Her abs in her later dvds are even harder than that (can't remember which ones now, but one legged pike I will never be able to do).

Gotta run and "work".
 
Thanks for the feedback on the PUB abs, lisa. Waterpark was perfect day. I wondered how many steps I climbed cumulatively equaled in elevation today because of your 14'ers. Hopefully all will fare well w/ storm...
 
Good Morning,

Today is the last day of this rotation and I must say I have seen some good results now I need to decide what to do next week and then next month. Today is Back, Bi, and Shoulders plus some abs and a good stretch. We are puppy sitting tonite for our oldest DD so I will have a big dog and a little dog wrestling around the house.
 
I did TurboFire 60 min. I woke up early because my body has slight doms everywhere and during my workout, especially my back and right knee was feeling it. I have to lighten up the workouts to give my body a break before our next big hike Wed.

Jody, you are soooooo funny, I'm sure you did lots of steps, but somehow the gain in elevation really gets you. I could hike flat for 7 miles and not feel so bad, I can hike 7 miles with 3500 ft elevation gain and feel I got hit by a mack truck. Maybe it's the lack of oxygen too, do you know we have oxygen bars here???????!?!?!? My GF and I were say that maybe we need to get the O2 to go :)

Roxie, I plan to start STS Meso 1 then meso 2 (I don't do meso3), in a couple of weeks. Have fun with the dogs. I wouldn't mind dog sitting but they don't ask me, instead they take it to her parents house :(
 
Hi girls! Haven't worked out yet, have to change my plans, was cutting apple yesterday, with a corer, sliced the bas of my thumb up, had to go get stitches. At least we were in and out quickly! Nice surprise. I can't really hold weights, so I need to think! Lisa, you leave Tues. for your hike? Walking up a mountain is hard! Roxie, I think dog sitting is harder than babysitting! Jody, are you getting wet? Did the storm pass you? Murphy stay safe! DS did great in his race, came in 1st for his team. Have to go supervise the twins mowing, I'm glad to have gotten out of that! Have a good day! Mary
