50 and Over: ^^What's Up?- Wednesday^^

[fox2star]

Good Morning!

Today I did an I-Tread 35 minute walk and the core work from 4DS Kickbox. Has anyone else tried this? What do you think of it?

Thanks again for all the well wishes for my "puppy" ( he is 11 but still acts like a puppy).

Is everyone ordering the new Cathe calendar? I did, as this is where I log my workouts. I never used the stickers though.

Post workout: protein shake
B- cherrios w/strawberries, skim milk
s: LF Yogurt
L: salami on WW, grapes, skim milk
S: stringster & apple
D: Lean cuisine or Smart ones w/extra vegs
S: Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich or WW ice cream bar

Garance:
You may want to get an MRI if your DR will order it for you. Sometimes they are kind of funny about doing that. Not sure why. That is the funny thing about my dog.. he never was down in any way, acted the same, ate the same etc. That's why when they said Cushings or Addisions and I looked up the symptoms on the internet, he only had the one ( urinating and drinking excessively), no others.
Your sabbatical sounds great! 61! wow and look at what you do! I firmly believe that excercise is a life extender. My father is 83 and he still takes his dog for an hour walk in the fields at least once sometimes twice a day. I think your son is serious about this
woman;-).

Josie:
Congratulations! another grandson! :7 I don;t travel enough to justify a navigator but I agree they are fun to use.

Jen:
Get those gloves on and get to work! LOL

Linny:
Your car sounds great! I think the new workouts will be pricey after the pre-sale so I plan to order as soon as she opens it up to get the best price. 51? I think you are the baby of this crowd

Have a great day!

Happy Wednesday, All,

So, Garance is a Scorpio and Linny is a Sagittarius. What about the rest of you ladies? I'm a Pisces.

Linny's birthday is the day I can start using weights, although I can only use 3-pounders for a week, then 5s for a week, and on up. Now that I think of it, I won't be back to my normal routine until around New Year's.

Today, I plan to do Tammilee Webb's Tighter Assets and a Classical Stretch tape.

Have a wonderful day,

Jen

Hi Deb and Jen--

I decided to take off today because I think I am overdoing it on the aerobics. My knee was hurting all day yesterday after doing that walking tape (with a lot of prancing--I know, not a good idea) and so I am giving it some time off from aerobics. DH says I am my own worst enemy on this. I will do weights tomorrow and Friday and see how that goes, and just lay off aerobics until after Thanksgiving. If it is still acting up, I will ask for an MRI. Maybe it's some torn cartilage that can be fixed. I'm pretty sure my doctor won't object. He's a young guy who graduated from Williams in the 90s, went to Columbia Medical School and interned out in California.

My husband told me to regard today as my birthday because it started out sunny and is unusually mild--57 degrees. I always remark (complain?--yeah, maybe) that November is the cruellest month (contrary to T.S. Eliot) and my birthday is inevitably drizzly and cold and raw. And dark. Well, it's clouding up out there and it's going to rain tonight and get cold tomorrow--right on cue. But we'll go out tomorrow night and DH says he asked the chef to do my favorite food--LOBSTER! Yes!

Astrology was a major preoccupation of Ted Hughes and his sister Olwyn. To me it seems like a lot of hocus-pocus, but then I am a skeptical Scorpio, so maybe I'm being true to sign.

All-Italian colloquia this afternoon--Fellini, Antonioni, and Bertolucci. My students are really doing great on these oral presentations with film clips.

I'm making Lidia's penne alla vodka for dinner tonight. DH's request. It is yummy, but a tad rich.

Bye for now.

Hi Ladies,

Well, Alex arrived at 2:00 AM this morning and he is 6 lbs 12oz.
I have not seen a picture yet, but my son said that he is very cute.
Michael is already jealous.

Today I will be running 5.5 miles + abs.

I'm a Leo, my birthday is 8/20 and I turned 51.

Hi Ladies:
Deb: I quess you're right,I think I am the baby here. I hope to get the new Cathe series,but not sure if I'll be able to get the whole set at once. Trying to get caught on the bills after missing so much work this summer.
Garance: Lobster,you lucky gal.HMMMMM! If I don't get Mexican for my B-Day I think I'll go the lobster route. I hope you have a great sunny birthday tomorrow. Take it easy on your leg.
Jen: Boy I bet it feels great being able to workout again.
Josie: Congrats on your new grandson. Hope Michael is willing to share his Mom and Dad. ~Linny~
