Any Fab 40's around?

Hi girls! HOpe everyone had a good day. Today I did KM, did only half of the jumping drills, needed to get dinner ready. I don't feel too bad about it, yesterday did KCM, plyo w/o, and the standing portion of body training., Worked my legs good. I am with you all on it being hard to get out of bed! It has been so chilly here, perfect for sleeping, not so good for jumping out of bed! Lisa, tried the kettlebells, I am too lazy to actually get dressed, get im my car, and drive to w/o! So much easier to do it all at home! Murphy, what does the Insanity recovery involve? Ronne, do you like the kettlebells? Well, dishes await, I want to get the kids in the shower and bed, tonite is Modern Family (I sound pitiful, don't I?), it is a very funny show! Night all, Mary
 
Hey Mary, you don't sound pitiful, you sound like a rushed, tired, over 40 Mom! I also feel the same way about GOING somewhere to workout. Have a great night everyone!
 
Hello!

Murph - I love 4DS KB. It's my favourite Cathe KB.

Mary - I agree with Lisa and something is better than nothing!

Lisa - I know what you mean about the workouts, it's almost like saving them up for when you know you're going to be too busy/ill, etc. It's like having money in the bank :)

Well, I'm keeping up with the kettlebells but not much else. When I went on Tuesday my heartrate really spiked (we're on monitors) so the instructor told me to take it easy. I'm still not 100% so I've deliberately not done any workouts apart from kettlebells as I don't want miss those. I suspect I'll have to take it easy tonight as well :confused:. I hate it when I'm not in a rhythm of working out, it's so frustrating.
I know what you mean about getting out of the house to workout. The only reason I signed up for this is that it's just 8 weeks and a 5 min drive away!

Bye for now!
 
Hi girls! I did another run today...trying to work off some stress. DS20 called and said he's flunking a class so is withdrawing....and we lose more than $1000....told him he owes us for that! grrrrrrr I think his fiance (I did tell yall that he asked his gf of 4 yrs to marry him) is distracting him, plus I just feel that family's values may influence him (I still can't believe his GF didn't graduate HS with her class and has to go another year to get her credits. My kids had almost all their credits at the end of their junior year......grrrrrr ... did I say that already? So, I didn't sleep well, have some lovely monthly cramps coming on......grrrrrrr

On a plus note, my DS17 just got accepted to CO school of Mines. It was a quick turnaround (2 wks) since he applied and the letter is signed personally by the director. Oooooh, if he could just get a scholarship!

Ronne, loved the comparison to the bank!

Gotta get for now....work is slow, but gotta take care of other things...
 
Recovery? I don't know why they call it recovery. Insanity recovery is like ste-by-step or slower motioned workouts where the stretching sets get faster each set and the actually workout is like...what is that style called, isometric exercises? You use your body weight but the movements are slower - actually they are the speed I go at when I am really tired. :) Yes, insanity is the right title.
 
Hi everyone! today was disc 15, back and biceps, my arms were shaking! I have had to mix up Cathe's rotation due to my schedule. It is cold and rainy here, they are saying snow by the weekend. Lisa, have you had snow yet? Wow, your son is getting married? Have they set a date or is all this new? Also, what is the school of Mines? Sorry for so many questions! Murphy, you are making me glad I didn't get Insanity! Ronne, hope that you are feeling better! Well, hope that you all have a good weekend, probably won't get on tomorrow, have to work and our baby boy is turning 8! I think I will have to head to Chuck E Cheese tomorrow, we are having his party on Sat. because DH and I both have to work tomorrow. Talk to you all soon. Mary
 
Hello everyone

Mary - Happy Birthday to your DS. Hope he has a lovely day. And I hope you're not too frazzled by the end of the birthday party :confused:!

Lisa - oh dear! You've mentioned the girlfriend before (wasn't she the one who wanted him to get a car or was it sell a car? Sorry - mind of mush!). Hope you can workout your grrrrss ...

Murphy - it's official - you're INSANE!!

Well, I did a workout today although I shouldn't have really but I'm getting so grumpy from only doing the kettlebells twice a week. I was sensible though and just did KCM's Body Training, the standing one. it was good, just right for a day when you don't want to kill yourself! My legs really felt it.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. We've got friends popping in tomorrow that we haven't seen for a couple of years so I'm looking forward to that.

See you all on Monday!
 
Hi everyone, Oh, I was sooooo sick last night throwing up. Guessing it was a stomach virus or something as i feel much better today, but taking care on what I eat. I did do Disc 15 back section only and some abs.

Ronne, yep, that's the same GF. She ended up buying him a car. Sounds like a fun time with your friends visiting, enjoy!

Murphy, so have you convinced us all not to do insanity? :)

Mary, enjoy your son's BD...they grow up so quick. Co School of Mines is an engineering school known very well around here. If you want to do engineering, that's where you go, it's known to be tough school. There is no set date (thank goodness) on the wedding (I choke as I say it). They both know that my DS has to graduate and get a good job FIRST and foremost, so about 2 yrs.

Well, gonna go walk the dog...surprisingly I have more energy than I would think I'd have since I threw up all my food last night and have hardly eaten anything. I hate that kind of illness !
 
Hi All,

Have to rush. Today is M1D1. I still love STS. I am so happy to have it back from my sister - until she asks for it again. :-(

Anyway:
Mary - Happy Birthday to your DS. Good luck with Chuck E. Cheese.

Lisa - Well, good luck w/ everything - the engaged DS and the newly college-bound DS and the stomach. Hey, how is Maddie?

Ronne - Have fun with your friends.

Mary - Hi!

I hope I did not forget anyone. Happy Weekend to everyone.
Murph
