50 and Over: ^^^^Terrific Tuesday^^^^

[fox2star]

Good Morning!

Today I did 4DS, Chest & Back, the weight first pre-mix and I skipped the cardio. I have no patience when it comes to learning the complicated step combos Cathe does.

Good News! My dog's blood work came back negative for Cushings or Addision! He just had a normal kidney/bladder infection. ( breathes sigh of relief!) It must have been all the "well wishes" from here that helped!

Post workout: protein shake
B- cherrios w/strawberries, skim milk
s: LF Yogurt
L: Ham on WW, grapes, skim milk
S: stringster & apple
D: Chicken Chipoltle stew
S: Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich or WW ice cream bar

Linny:
Congratulations on the new car! So exciting! Yes, I too want to know what color it is .

Jen:
I hope you are ready to get back to working out! You may be able to start with really light weights, (3-5 lbs) and maybe do a circuit workout instead of heavy lifting?

Garance:
That upper body pre-mix sounds good for when I do a upper/lower split. I will have to keep that one in mind! I love Stella d'ors, but what is a rudibeckia? Sounds like you were the "bell of the ball" in your outfit!

I will definitely be ordering the new workout series.. 9 weight lifting workouts used in a sequence sounds like heaven to me.. NO CARDIO!:7 No awful step workouts that I have to skip around! I just hope they are not longer than an hour.. x( .

Have a great day!

Deb;-)

Hi Deb and later posters--

Today I did Kathy Smith's walking workout with abs (60 min.). Of course my knee started hurting almost immediately after. I just don't know what to do. I am thinking I might need an MRI to see if there is torn cartilage.

That's wonderful news about your dog. How long before he's feeling perky again?

I have decided to extend my sabbatical in the spring of 2009 to a full year at half pay. I was so encouraged by the response to my work at the Oxford conference that it seems like a good idea, because I will be able to finish my book rather than just writing another chapter. So 2009 looks like a very good year to me. I might also apply for some grants, but I don't really need the money at this stage in my career.

Well, the sun finally came out. Yesterday was UGLY--gray all day, so that I felt like I was living in the twilight of the gods. My birthday is the 15th, so it will probably be drizzly and cold (it usually is). I will be 61 years old. Yikes!!!

My older son is bringing home a woman for Thanksgiving. My younger son calls her his "Asian persuasion" because she is Chinese. I will be interested to meet her, since apparently he has somehow persuaded her to leave her job in San Francisco and move to Boston, where he is. Is this serious or what?? Stay tuned.


Have a great Tuesday everyone!!

Good Morning Ladies,

I will be taking the day off today, because I need to pick up my grandson in San Diego. His litle brother is going to be born today. Hi name is Alex, but Michael call him "Aweks" and he corrects me eveytime I say Alex.

I did do all of the workouts that I posted on Friday, but my diet was not great this weekend. I need to get back on track.

Garance, thank you very much of the recipe.

Linny, I love the navigator on my car. I use it a lot.

Deb, Thanks for the idea of using the 4DS in 3 days. I'm glad that your dog is ok.

Happy Tuesday, All,

Woo-hoo, Josie is going to be a grandmother! And, who knows,it might happen to Garance in the not-too-distant future!

That sabbatical sounds wonderful, Garance. I'm sure you'll have time to be much more creative with a little more downtime.

Great news about your dog,Deb!

I just got back from the doctor - had my stitches out. He said I could start using weights in 2 weeks if I have lifting gloves; otherwise, I'll have to wait 4 to 6 weeks until I'm completely healed. Needless to say, I stopped at Target on the way home and bought gloves.

Have a wonderful day,
Jen

Hi Ladies:
Deb:I'm so happy that your dog is going to be ok.Whew! I bet you were jumping up and down. My new car is glacier blue,kind of a baby blue color.I also am having a tailgate spoiler installed to give it a sporty look. Those new Cathe workouts do sound great, I wonder how much they are going to cost.
Garance: That sabbatical in 2009 sounds wonderful,wish I could join you. Asian Peruasion is so cute! I think this is definitely serious sounding relationship. I hope you have a bright sunny day for your B-day. I'll be 51 on the 27th.
Jen:Good luck with your new gloves. I bet you can't wait to start lifting again.
Josie:Congrats on being a Grammmy again.I plan on truely enjoying my new car and nav.Can't wait to get it! Have a great night!~Linny~
