50 and Over- * Monday*

[fox2star]

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

I started my 3rd week of a S&H rotation yesterday.. today was chest. I will be doing the same format after the 4th week, 20-30 minutes of cardio, then one body part, only next time I think I will use the Gym Styles or CTX for the weight work.. I want at least 15 minutes on each body part..so I may have to use 2 workouts, depending on what excercises she uses. Maybe SS where you can do more sets of the same? I will need to look at my excercise sheets for Cathe workouts and see what she does in these.. fun to plan ahead!

Jen: I put a bid in on the Full Body workout vol 2 on Ebay. It ends tomorrow so I may have this workout!

Garance: sounds like the new TV is a good motivator! Good luck with the shot. I hope it makes you feel really good and raring to go! You were right about the steam bath.. 5:46 am and it is 77 degrees here x(

Have a great day!

Deb

Greetings everybody. Hope everybody had a nice weekend.

Going to do the Kick Max cardio and leg sculpt premix. I am looking forward to a yoga class tomorrow morning.

Starting to paint the laundry room. Still shuffling school papers. Been knitting quite a bit. Joined an on-line group that is doing variations on the Hot Tomato t-shirt sweater: http://www.knittingdaily.com/posts/tops/126-1.html
The fairisle over the bust line does not work for me. I am going to add a ribbed lace ribbing at the bottom and on the sleeves.

Supposed to be very hot here today, so I will be doing indoor activities.

Regards,
Rhonda

Hi Deb and Rhonda,

Today I will be doing my weights in the evening and maybe go spinning.
I forgot my Cardio Coach at home and don't feel like going to the Gym here at work.

We are moving to a new office tomorrow and I need to pack my files for the move. I hate moving!

Have a great day everyone!

Josie

Happy Monday, All,

Deb, woo-hoo, I hope you win the bid on Ebay!

Garance, that was not a premix on BM2, I did the warmup, then went back to the main menu for weights, then back again for cooldown and stretch.

I was planning on doing Timesaver 5 after work yesterday, but my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson showed up after I'd been home about 5 minutes, bearing homeade soup and bread. That was a wonderful surprise, but what they had to say was quite a shocker - I'm going to be a grandmother again in February!

Their son is only 11 months old. I had my children 17 months apart and told both my son and daughter not to do it - it's worse than having twins because you have 2 babies on different sleeping schedules.

Shows how much clout I have with my kids! I'm so glad they didn't listen to me, because I have 3 beautiful grandsons - think pink this time!

My daughter has 2 boys, a 2-year-old and 5-month-old.

My son has the 11-month-old and soon-to-be number 2.

So, let's see, come February I'll have 4 grandchildren: a 2-1/2-year-old, a 1-1/2-year-old, a 1-year-old and a newborn. Oh. My. Goodness.

This is an amazing pregnancy because son and DIL were married 9 years before they were able to have Sam. They even consulted a fertility specialist, spent a lot of money on tests, then discovered she was pregnant when they went in for the test results. That she got pregnant again so quickly is mind-boggling to us all.

Okay, gonna shut up about this now - tonight, I'm shooting for Timesaver 5.

Have a wonderful day,
Jen

Hi everyone--

Just returned from my cortisone shot. Instant relief! I feel like a million bucks. My orthopedist says as long as they last for 2-3 months, there is no reason I shouldn't stall as long as I can before I do a knee replacement, which is the only other option given the shape of my left knee.

Thanks, Jen--I think I will try your BM2 mix and match some time.

I did Gym Style Chest and Triceps today. I am trying to stay cool in this steamy weather. It is 87 and humid here. Tomorrow is supposed to be the real killer, so I will have to do a fairly light cardio--maybe the Kick Max low impact premix.

Had sushi for dinner last night. It was sooo good. Also had a Manhattan and some sake with the meal. I'm feeling pretty good about my weight--10 pounds lost doing South Beach for breakfast and lunch, and then cheating a bit at dinner.

No grandchildren yet for me. My sons seem to be confirmed bachelors with no interest in marriage at the moment. Sigh!

Enjoy your evening ladies!

Hi Ladies:
Garance: So glad to hear that your shot did the trick. I know some people swear by them and other get no relief. Great job with weight loss.
I have a few grandkids too. I have 2 Granddaughters that turned 8 and 13 this past June and my husband has a 8yr old grandson. I guess I'll have plenty of time this summer to spend with them since friday is my last day.
I did LIC and Back today.My vacation starts friday so I'll be off and on boards. Have a great nite ladies.~Linny~
