40s - week of 8/7/11

Hi all

Murph - yes it was Amy's Slo Mo. I really like her but I won't be buying her two new kettlebell workouts. Not my thing really.

Roxie - are you shivering yet?!!!:p

Mary - 13yrs old?! Gosh, that's getting quite grown up isn't it? Have they turned into terrible teens yet?!

Jody - I'm with the others - avoid like the plague! I like what Mary said - if you like 'em you're already in contact with 'em. I did go to a 20 year reunion and decided I wouldn't bother again. Found out what I needed to know and that was fine! Holiday = vacation in my language!

Is Lisa still up there?!!

Just another quick workout for me today - Split LB. Spent the day with friends. Got some good news today - my SIL just had a baby, her second. All healthy and safe, 8lb 6oz boy.
On the holiday countdown now, we leave on Friday, so will be packing and getting ready tomorrow. Spain here we come!
 
Hey girls! I'm back, barely. Yes Ronne I was still up there when you posted! 10 hrs on the mountain, OMG, 5.5 hrs up, 30 min on summit and 4 hrs down. We did shopping at the outlets on Tuesday (found some fabulous Columbia shorts and shirt). Here's pics from the hike

Sorry no personals, it's 9pm here and just got home and hope I can sleep tonight, I only got 3 hrs of sleep last night.

Question for Mary, does beer and hot tubs not mix well? Our hearts were pounding and we couldn't get to sleep, could that be why?

Good night, check out the mountain goat in the pics, he was coming right at me as I sat on the summit eating my sandwich, I thought he was going to come take it :) Told my friend who was sitting behind me "I'm scared, I'm scared" she said, "just sit there don't move", thankfully the backed down a bit and I got fabulous pics.
 
ha ha, I was wondering how a goat could be scary, but dang, one head butt and you would have gone back down the mtn. Glad you had fun. What do you do about potty breaks? : O
 
I did B&G today. I love it but I hate it. THe dvd seems to fly by once you are done withthe 10,000 lunges. OMG. Anyway, I am glad it is over. I am sure I will be feeling it tomorrow.

Lisa - nice picks. Glad you made it out okay. I am not sure what I would have done if I saw the goat. :-0

Murphy
 
Wow Lisa, what an achievement!! You must feel so accomplished! Love the goat :)

Murphy - congrats on getting through B&G - that is my one to avoid :p

Did LIC UB Cardio premix - it's 10 mins longer than it says on the card!! Thought I'd get a good one in before I finish. Emptying the bathroom, getting it ready to be redone while we're away (did I mention we're going away?! :p). Getting our clothes out for packing as well. We're off tomorrow and won't be back till the end of the month. Enjoy the rest of August and keep cool!
 
Ronne, congrats on new baby in family, will you get to visit? Have fun on trip. You sound very organised and prepared. ::envy::

Murphy, I like B+G but haven't done it since my long hiatus. Do you do the floor work part? I do cheat lunges in reps and wt tho. Ha ha, once I found this guy in my workout area, wondered if I had been doing too many BG firewalkers where you "look like a little crab".

Helloooo, Shereta? Lisa, got your feet back under you yet? How's the weather, Roxie? : )

Yesterday I did the LIS+HIS premix and dance class. Today, since its a TKD/Barn day I will prob run later. Hmm, do I want to do a body part, too?
 
Quick post, catching up! Jody, I'm a wimp with bugs and creatures and animals that I'm not sure what their thinking. I was sitting defenseless as that goat came within 3 ft of me! and ick to that crab!

Potty breaks, in treeline, you grab a tree, up above treeline, you grab a big pile of rocks when no one is around (and hope no one comes up on you). In fact one of the pics is of my pee rock :) It was pretty comfy as I made a toilet seat out of it with my sore thighs (thighs aren't as sore since I used poles). Some ladies even said they might use a carin (piles of rocks that are supposed to mark a trail).

Gotta run, be back later
 
Good Morning,

I worked my abs this morning and tonite will be the bicep work I didn't do last night had a headache after supper and then I will probably take the dog for a walk.

Jody-it was nice and cool this morning but suppose to be back up into the 90's today.

Lisa-sounds like a fun time and those mountain goats look scary.

Murphy-B&G is on the low end of my list hate those walking lunges just way to many.

Ronne-your trip sounds exciting.
 
Hi girls! Lisa, so impressed with you! I would have given the goat my lunch! But then maybe you would have had a new friend for life! True, alcohol and hot tubs don't mix well! They both dehydrate you. Ronne, we will miss you! Have a great time! Jody, did you find that crab in your house? Oh, I would have run away! I run from silverfish! Murphy, I do like B&G, I only like the standing work tho! Roxie, sorry about the heat, almost chilly here, I had to put a sweatshirt on this am!? I did keno x from p90x, didn't want anything complicated. DH and DS did pretty good last night. The winner ran it in 15 min. We are going to the fair today, love the pigs. Have a good day! Mary
 
Crab was on back screen porch. Came in thru doggie door? I thought he was funny. They would be on front walk and front door area too. : )
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did GS Bis, and took the dog for a 2 mile walk, you should see him when we come home he plops on the floor like he is dead tired.
 
Today I did Pump. It is part of the FitPrime series (the original Firm producers). I used to like the series but now after doing Cathe for so long the series seems slow and non-productive. It may well still be productive and etc. but just at a slower pace. We will see how I feel in the morning. :)

Ronne - have a safe trip. Bring me something back. :)

Jody - was crab on the dinner menu that night? :)

TTYL. Have a great weekend everyone.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is GS Legs not sure if I will do the whole thing or a timesaver, oldest DD and her DH are coming over to bbq before the chiefs game tonite and then her and I are going for a walk unless its raining we have a storm moving in right now but its nice and cool.

Murphy-good job on your workout.

Jody-did you ever find that rotation?
 
I did BM2 UB premix, minus pushups and abs :) A nice easy one to offset my sore legs. They aren't as sore this time as last.

Murphy, thx for the birthday wishes, it's on Sunday the 14th

Mary, great job on your DH and DS on the dualthon (that was what it was, right? If not, just blame my bad memory and advanced age :)

Ronne, guess you are gone

Roxie, glad you got some cool weather, still 90s here, it was sooooo nice up in the mountains

Jody, what fun do you have planned?

I'm running behind at work, it's amazing what can pile up in 3 days off
 
Hi girls! We leave today for the duelathlon (wed was the 5k). Today I mowed the grass, felt like a work out so I am counting it as one! Lisa, hope you have a great birthday weekend! Jody, I'd still be running from the crab! Are they afraid of you? Murphy, I don't remember that w/o, doesn't sound like I need it tho! Roxie, have fun with your dinner! Ronne must all ready be in Spain! Have a good weekend! Mary
 
Roxie, this one? http://cathe.com/forum/f100/fitnessfreaks-december-08-rotation-255025/

Crabs were from my previous home. Current critters are raccoons and bees.

Bee man in shower after cutting hole in ceiling to get to hive. good times.

Lisa, you rebound from your hikes and get swinging right away, I'm impressed.

Ugh, today hasn't been very successful or productive. I passed a car in flames on highway this aft before any responders had arrived. : (

Hopefully report back w/ a workout under my belt.
 
Jody, that's what I didn't like about FLA, bugs and critters. Not that we don't have some here, especially spiders in the basement, but not near what I remember in FL.

Mary good job on the workout? I think it's great DH seems active, I can't get mine to move. He still thinks he's young and doesn't have to do anything, but his cholesterol results say otherwise! Doc said, weight gain and maybe not taking his medicine was mostly to blame. The EXACT 2 things I harp on him about! I can't get him excited about another 14er, I'm almost thinking just to plan something and tell him later (after he's 1/2way up :)
 
Jody-that is the one. My DD and her DH had a huge mouse, rat and squirrel problem they are renting a house by the lake and her DH and my DH had to completely gut one bedroom and the bathroom to get it all cleaned out the landlord refused to reemburse them for there time and materials and he wouldn't hire anyone to take care of the problem. Bees would suck.
