40's - week of Feb 20,2011

[fitover40]

This is going to have to be a quick checkin. Had lunch with my BFF, YUM (so much for watching my eating), had a pineapple/raspberry martini too (sssshhhh don't tell work). My neck is bothering me, maybe strained from hitting STS hard plus from sleeping wonky, so I ran 4 miles instead (wanted to do nothing but would not let myself go there).

Murphy, glad you are feeling better, I understand about CATHE-zone.

Vickie, step is hard on my knees too, I love it, I swear running is easer for me because it's the side to side movements that kill my right knee. Try Glucosamine/Condroitin/MSM and White Willow Bark, all supplements. I quit taking them on my 2 week long cruise and I had no impact during that 2 weeks but by the end of the 2 weeks I felt my right knee aching, about 3 days on supplements helped it out, that makes me a believer)

Waves to Mary and Ronne

Mary you are now ahead of me on STS

Hey girls, have to post I'm so excited....my DS21 just got offered the job (electrical engineer) he's been interning at for the past month. What a good feeling seeing your kids succeed and build their life.

Hey everyone! Am I playing with myself today? I did do STS Disc 5, Meso1(back/bi). My left trap still hurts so I didn't do the T's or Y's with the band (I think these can flare up that area), and I went lighter on the lat machine (instead of pullups --- I never do pullups I thankfully have a lat pulldown).

I feel like I'm getting sick, that guy across from me at work who was spewing his coughing probably got me sick. I swear that day I felt germs coming over, his coughing was THAT explosive. Irritates me, then he works at home AFTER getting me sick but he still came in on Wed for E-Week where you work with kids....nice, made them sick I bet.

I think that's it from here.

Snow day! School called off for the kids and me! I did disc 6 today, legs were shaking walking up to the shower! Lisa, congrats to your son! How exciting for him! He's starting his life... That must be overwhelming for the two of you?! Not much going on here, I'm going to go watch some shows that have been sitting in my dvr waiting for me! Kids went to friend's house, DH went to the station to work out! I am all alone! Hi to Ronne, Murphy, and Vickie. Hope everyone has a good weekend! Mary

Hey guys,

I got in kickbox yesterday, but decided to take a rest day today. It has been cold and rainy, kind of blah. (I napped most of the day)

Lisa-That's so exciting about your DS. I know you are so proud. Thanks for suggesting the supplements. It also reminded me that I had stopped taking my fish oil months ago and probably need to start that back up again. You know I was thinking that my knees would get better once I kept dropping weight. But, I'm glad I mentioned this because it could just be my (old) knees. I so hope you're not getting sick. Take care of yourself.

Mary-Yay for a snow day! I hope you enjoyed your day off and the alone time.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
