50 and over week of Jan 30 check in

[JoanC]

I will be the "over" on Monday. Dil and son had a birthday party for me Saturday. It had a gambling theme since I like to go to Las Vegas. They had black jack and poker with a prize for the one with the most chips. There was also a quiz to see how much everyone knew about me. Good thing dh won even though they wouldn't give him the prize. They also did a "this is your life" that was very sweet.

I can't believe how sore I was from Power Hour. I think I will keep mixing up the full body wo.

Jann let us know how surgery goes. It might not make you thin without exercise but I would accept making it easier to be thin with exercise.

I am starting to get busy. We are likely to get the worst storm of the season (possibly the century) Tuesday. Up to a half an inch of ice and then 18 inches of snow. I like when they predict horrible numbers we usually don't get near as much. But when they predict an inch or two you better worry.

Happy belated birthday Joan! Sounds like a really fun party. My goodness someone has some creative ideas in your family!

My workout today will be cardio/kettlebell swings (I am really seeing a difference in my thighs) and abs.

I really hope this storm is not as bad as predicted. I do not want to be stuck in Balitmore...

Hi, Y'All!

Happy Birthday, Joan! I do hope you have a wonderful day, even thought it sounds as if you have already had a big celebration.

Jann, please let us know how it goes. You know you are still in my prayers. I do think you'll be just fine, but a little edge never hurts.

We are supposed to get snow Tuesday into Wednesday, then ice. yippeee

Stay well, safe and warm, everyone!

The freezing rain has started here. My clients have started to cancel appts. and I don't have that much work to do. Let's hope I get the ambition to exercise and not go back to bed.

Happy Birthday Joan! I hope your enjoying your time off with the freezing rain!

Jann- you are still in my prayers as well! But keep us in touch!

Magnolia- I know you like pilates- look at that link I posted on my facebook page. This site has full length workouts and this one was particularily good! But really hard!

I am studying for my first test- did I tell you all I went back to school for an MBA? It is in Financial accounting. I need to do something physical soon or I will crack- so I am putting on one the the HITTS when I sign off.

 

[Jann]

Thank you for your prayers ladies! We are driving down to Baltimore tonight because of the weather. ICE ICE ICE -- ugh.
I will be home hopefully Wednesday night. Will catch up then.

Stay safe, warm and oh yeah Beth do a workout!!

shoot, i'd go back to bed, joan!! LOL! where in the world are you, joan, iceland?

from friday to yesterday we were in shorts, t-shirts, bathing horses, and now they are saying wind chill of 0. that is just crazy for s. texas. just doesn't happen here. possible snow on friday, we can do without that. we have ZERO equipment for snow down here.

doing all of tracie's w/outs for my rotation this month. did ya'll see cathe's feb. rotation? how can a mere mortal ever do that kind of rotation? i would not be able to walk if i attempted that.

Good evening all,

I'm in St Peters, MO just west of St Louis. We ended up with 4 inches of sleet and another 2 of snow. Slippery but not as bad as it could have been. The sleet is a lot heavier to shovel than snow.

Jann I stopped at 10 am yesterday and said a nice long prayer for you. Hope you felt it.

It hasn't been that windy so the power should stay on even with a 1/2 inch of ice on the power lines. They sure had the forecast wrong. We were supposed to get blizzard force winds. Not that I am complaining.

I did a lot of shoveling in the last two days but I at least need to get legs in today.

it is so ridiculously cold down here, it got up to a whopping 29 today, which is waaaay strange for us to stay that cold. we will be in the deep freeze for the next 2 days apparantly and maybe snow for us on friday. i can do w/out that. we are not equipped for snow down here and every thing just shuts down. it is are a real pain to keep water thawed out for the horses too. just not right to have this in the winter and then have 100's in the summer.

joan, that is no fun, TOO COLD!!
today i did tracie's old core strength, and i now remember why i avoid it. very hard!
hi to all

 

[Jann]

HI all -- popping in to say I am home from the hospital. The surgery went well. I feel ok, I have a sore throat(expected) and hurt here and there all normal. Now, to just get myself back to healthy.
Will know more after I see the surgeon next week for follow up what comes next. Can't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for two weeks. I can walk though all I want. yay!

The weather is so crazy.

Thanks so much for your prayers!! Yes, I really can feel them!!

Hi, Y'All!

Thanks be to God, Jann! I'll continue to pray for you, but I am sure you'll be fine.

Well, ladies, we didn't get hit so badly as the midwest, but we still have ice on the roads out there. It's not going to get much over 25 here today, and going down to 15 tonight, or so I heard. DH is home, so I don't have to worry about him out there. Possibly more snow tomorrow, over the weekend and next week. will the fun ever stop.

Just finished one of Kelsie's Firm Express workouts.

Stay safe, everyone!
