50 and Over: ~Friday~

[fox2star]

Good Morning and Happy Friday to all!

Back from our nation's capital....it was hot there, but no hotter than here where it was 90 and very humid. It is still like that right now at 7:00 am. I did not get up this morning to workout because I was not able to sleep even with getting up at 3:30 yesterday morning to fly out at 6:00..I think it was a combination of the day I had and the heat. Well another week starts Sunday and I will be back on track.

The Blog updates are getting really interesting! I can't wait to get these workouts!

Rhonda:
Thanks for starting the thread yesterday. Glad to see you were able to work in some excercise with the heat.. is the Tough Core Pre-mix long? is it on Low Impact Circuit?

Josie: hope your meetings ended at a decent time. Don;t blame you for skipping the workout after that.

No plans for the weekend, except shopping for a shower gift for my niece who is having her first baby.. anyone planning anything interesting this weekend?

Have a good one;-)

Good Morning Deb and those to follow:
Deb: Glad to see you had a safe trip. I've been having a tough with the sleep and humidity too.Whew! Just when I start feeling comfortable and about to drift off, on come the hotflashes x(.
I need to do something about my weight. This morning had a final interview with manager of visiting nurses. Well, I haven't worn my dress pants in 3weeks~Oh my God~. Thankfully they have a little stretch left. That dam scale continues to climb.I know its my mindless eating but I just can't seem to stop. ;( Hopefully now that things are kinda settling with the hives and a new job on the horizon, I may be able to get back on track.
Josie: Hey you bundle of energy, I'm sure you'll be right back on track with those workouts.
Rhonda: thanks so much for starting us up yesterday. Didn't get to check cuz I was at the lake. Sure glad I was instead of being here sweating my a** off.
Well, about my (hopefully) new job. I am just waiting for an offer letter from HR. The director and manager were very happy with everything. Also the visiting nurse and client we saw, thought I would be wonderful as a visting nurse.So if everything goes well with the $$$$ I'll be joining homecare.
I'm having company at the lake the next 2 days so I'll be busy,busy.I'll try to check in later tonite before we leave.~Linny~

Hi Linny and Deb,

My meeting ended at 8:00 so I did not do anything last night. Today I will take the day off also, but I plan on running on Saturday (5 miles) and doing the sand dunes and stairs on Sunday. I'm going to start the August rotation on Monday.

Linny, Do you take vitamin B. These helped me with the hot flashes, just make sure it includes all of the b's.

Hi, everyone--

Had a great vacation at the Jersey shore. The water was warm and the sun felt good. The waves were just my size (small!) because 1) I am from Minnesota and learned how to swim in lakes, not in crashing waves, and 2) I am so myopic that I get lost if my husband doesn't take me out to bob and then bring me back in to the umbrella, chairs, etc. I did a good 3-mile walk everyday, finished my Harry Potter (loved it and was actually weeping when I thought he might die), didn't cook, and thoroughly enjoyed getting a bit of tan, going to Cape May for the restaurants and shops. I also had 2 Danish every morning from this super bakery, and did not gain any weight.

It is August and time to gear up for the fall semester, so I am busy putting together my handouts, my syllabi, even though it feels like the height of summer at the moment--90s and humid.

I did Cardio and Weights this morning and Supersets, double upper body last night. Tomorrow is my day off for cleaning, and I am going to Jacob's Pillow in the afternoon for "Grand Ballet de Genevre," a company from Switzerland.

Have a great weekend everyone!
