Holiday 40's +

Hey everyone, I ended up only doing the timesaver premix from RWH LB circuit, it was good, if I felt better I would have liked it even more I'm sure. Yesterday was pretty rough so no workout today, not even a dog walk, I'm wiped out. The 6 hrs with the cream was the worst ever, in fact I saw where someone said that at day 3 it took GUTS to smear that cream on again and that's exactly how I felt. At the 6 hr mark I washed it off and it continued a massive burning feeling for another 7 hrs didn't get to sleep until 1am even though I took 1 percocet, 1 gabapentin, and a whole valiumm (normally any ONE of those things will knock me out). Had to keep a ice pack on it until the burning stopped. So now for next 3 days the itching starts, then the peeling. My face is super swollen too with crusty dried up weeping sores. Is that a good enough picture i painted? I do have pics :) i'm recording this awful process (I'm kidding about posting pics, no one wants to see this mess. No personals, just popping in to say hi and vent how awful I feel.
 
As an update from yesterday, the lower body circuit kicked my butt. I don't know if I was tired or what, but I had to skip parts, modify, etc. Today I did an Intensity premix (hi/lo impact and bootcamp). It's one of my favorites. Tomorrow I think is RWH UB circuit.

Lisa - sorry to hear you feel awful; keep your eyes on the prize.
Ronne - my kids will be out for two weeks two - but I am going back to work so I can get some rest!
Roxie - hope you are feeling better now that a day or so has passed. I hope things are not too crazy at work.
Mary - have your spent your winnings or are you saving?
Jody - are you out there?

Hi girls! Today did a firm workout. Lisa, your poor face! I hope you feel better! Murphy, let me know about the upper body workout, it looks hard! Ronne, my kids are now off until next year too! Enjoy! Roxie, at least you are off Christmas!? Jody, do you ever get a day off? Put a dent in the shopping and got dinner for Christmas Eve! I'm getting somewhere! Lots of basketball this weekend! Why???? Have a good one! Mary
 
I skipped to the last week of the rotation (starting w/ RWH rotation) where she alternates UB and LB. Did LIHI c/s/t, went up in weight and really felt it. Tomorrow is LIHI legs and I realized I have not done that one yet. The leg circuit was tough for me so let's see how the LIHI goes. At least I don't think I did it before, maybe I blocked it out. :p

Mary - I need to do some Christmas dinner shopping. My sister is supposed to prepare everything but I want to be ready in case I get that call. BTW, I liked the UB workout.

Good Afternoon,

I did 4DS KB only and SJP step only along with 30 pushups. Wrapped Christmas presents and now making Chex Mix kids like it when I make it. DH needs to make cookies but he has been building the barn toybox for GS.
 
Did RWH LIHI Legs. Now I remember doing this dvd, it was the first one I did of the new series. I had to skip some lunges b/c of foot issues, but otherwise I got it done and with good weight so I am happy.

Roxie - 4DS KB is one of my favorites.

Waves to all.
Murphy
 
Morning! Yesterday did RWH plyo one, today did YR. Two basketball games yesterday, one today. Have to fit in shopping and wrapping also. Hope all is well with all! Mary
 
Hi everyone, I hope you are off to a good start on the holiday week. I have done some RWH - I think UB circ and a low impact hiit. I liked them and look forward to doing them and the rest of the series when I'm higher energy. I talked myself out of the rebounder for now, still wanting the juicer. Lisa that sounds miserable, I'm wishing you a healthier new year with a lot less pain!
 
Hi everyone! I took a couple of rest days (Fri totally off, I was wiped out from everything), Sat I took a dog walk only, today a dog walk and XT bi/tri. Glad I did an easy one, because as I heated up I felt my face get even hotter and I more miserable because of it. Today I can finally SPREAD lotion on my face instead of dabbing it on. I'm an itchy mess and it interferes with sleep, hope itching is gone by tomorrow as I read day 1-3 is burning pain, day 4-6 itchy, tomorrow is day 7. I'm also a peeling mess, yuck! Just call me a FLAKE

Murphy, thanks for the encouragement, sounds like someone who's had to have their eye on the prize before.

Jody, gotta have high energy for those! Wouldn't a juicer take out the fiber? You want to keep the fiber in, no? I told DH that 2015 is my year! I've had 2 years of crappy stuff!

Mary, how could you relax with YR knowing all you have to do? My mind wanders too much!

Waves to Roxie and Ronne, can see what you wrote and definitely can't remember!
 
Good Afternoon,

I made some more chexmix this morning, cleaned house and then did what I thought would be a good stretching workout boy was I wrong Turbo Barre Express 2 but just did the standing.

Lisa-sounds miserable.

Jody-I understand the low energy thing going through that myself.

Mary-sounds busy.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - hope your face starts to feel better soon. That sounds miserable. Have you got other DS coming for Christmas?

Roxie - TB just makes your butt hurt!

Jody - good to see you. Have you got some time off over Christmas?

Murphy - well done on the workouts, you're packing them in!

Mary - what did you think of Plyo Hiit? I thought it was really hard!

No workouts over the weekend for me. Had a brief visit from DH's daughter and partner. It was really nice to see them and catch up.
Did RWH BSB today. Not as bad as CST (my weights only go up to 25lbs so I couldn't lift as heavy even if I wanted to!). I liked some of the different lifts.
DD out with a friend, so I'm going to get a bit of wrapping done. Then coffee, stollen and TV!
 
Ronne, stollen? A German pastry? I bet it tastes better than what my mom used to make. I was not a fan. Probably because she used candied fruit like in fruitcake. Please tell me it's better over there!
 
Hi girls! Today did Cathe live, hi/lo hiit, it was fun! More shopping, have to start cleaning too! Didn't get any wrapping done, met with friends instead! Hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Feeling much better! I little red and a little itchy and a little flakey but I did get out and about, costco, etc. I also slept well last night! Now if the itching would just stop! I did XT CBS, no walk, it's cold and now it's snowing! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (imagine me singing).

Ronne, Yes DS from KS is coming, staying almost 2 weeks. That means 6 adults and 3 canines in this house, after he goes back it's 2 more weeks of 4 adults and 2 canines, then older DS moves out and it's just me and DH and Suki (Canine)!

Mary, when do you go back to work? When do the kids go back? How about you come out her and help me get this house back into shape! lol

Roxie, lol, I bet it was a rude surprise as the workout progressed when you what you thought you were doing was a stretching workout!

Oh, I have to tell you all.....I have sparkly nail wraps on my nails, let me tell you, when you lift weights and you see those sparkly nails I just feel like a big bad a$$! LOL
 
Good Evening,

I did KPC Cardio Conditioning, 30 pushups and 200 crunches. Busy and long day at work.

Lisa-my neice now sells those nail wraps. Good job with getting a workout in, no snow here but the sun has came out in a week.

Mary-good job with your workout hope you get your wrapping done.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - yes, that's right. I do a pistachio and orange one, orange flower water to taste, pistachios and almonds and marzipan in it. We all like it anyway :). Glad to hear you're feeling better. You are going to have a houseful, you're a real dog-loving family! Then only two weeks before you get the house back to yourselves. I can hear you counting down already ;)

Mary - good job on the workout in amongst the fun!

Did RWH LBC. I was feeling a bit tired this morning anyway, which is my excuse, but I found it really hard. I just couldn't keep up, I had to skip a couple of cardio rounds but I stuck with all the weighted exercises. I need to be feeling a lot more energetic before I tackle that one next time!
I'm going to take a few days off now, parents arrive tomorrow till Sunday so there won't be space or time to workout.
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas! :D
 
I too had no energy for jumping around, finally settled on 4ds lb premix. Ronne, I'm not the only one counting down the days, DIL has a countdown on her phone! We are celebrating on the 26th, playing the next 2 weeks by ear for workouts. Happy holidays!
 
Hi all! Today did a Jessica Smith work out. Those RWH, I think I need to space out more! House cleaned, just have to wrap the kids gifts. Merry Christmas to all of you! Might not make it back till the weekend. DH has to work Christmas, so we will celebrate on Friday. Mary
 
Did RWH, b/b/s. Felt good, picked good weights, and felt productive. Yesterday was a rest day. Glad everyone is doing well and getting in workouts when you can. Be safe and have fun.
Happy holidays everyone.

Murphy
 
Hi, I had a few days off and was planning on a daytona run to see dad but ended up w/ flu cough and fever x 4 days I was off, oh well at least I'm better. I did rwh LBcirc, it must have been what the Universe wanted for me b/c I was dressed just like Cathe in eggplant tank gunmetal grey capris. I hope everyone had a nice day, i guess Mary and Lisa celebrating today, enjoy!
