Hot 40's - week of 7/17/11

Good Morning,

Another hot one here today possibility of a few showers but not holding my breath. Tonite will be KCMs Split Sessions Lower Body some kind of abs and I really need a stretch.

Lisa-dh will be so happy to get home. My bosses have a house in South Fork that we went out one summer and stayed.

Jody-admire you for doing CTX never could get into those workouts.
 
Roxie, we've driven through Southfork on the way to Durango last summer (our first time down that way). We have only a bad memory of Southfork, we got a ticket! Ten o'clock at night driving back, had stopped at a 7-11 type store for goodies and restroom duty, pulling back out into the "highway" (I use this term LOOSELY -- one lane each direction is NOT my definition of a highway - speed of 35 mph), a cop must have been sitting down the road at this trap and said we didn't stop at the stop sign when entering the "highway", the entrance from the gas station/convenience store to the highway was WIDE and we never saw a STOP SIGN! I later had to look it up on google earth and the stop sign was a good 50 ft away from where we exited teh store. I think they put it there on purpose to generate income for their little podunk town. the cop was not nice at all either. Thankfully our insurance didn't seem to go up (it was reduced to 2 pts from 4 pts if we paid right away) and we parted with at least $150 on that ticket. Then to top it off, we got back home, sent in the money and they sent us a THANK YOU CARD? say whaaaaat?

So now instead of calling them California stops or rolling stops, we refer to it as pulling a Southfork lol have to laugh at it the lunacy of things.

Lisa-thats to funny boss lady and her daughter were driving around the countryside when she was pulled over they said she didn't stop at a stop sign and there wasn't one and she said it was out in the middle of nowhere. You are right it is a podunk town.
 
Lisa, this is sounding vaguely familiar, have we had this conversation a few years ago? Hmmm. Anyway, small world~

It is gonna take me a little bit to get everyone straight (Mary = scuba = ohio?)

I subbed HiiT 30/30 for CTX KB. I've still got to get my body part in. Also went to a real WW mtg and got up to date with latest material. I'd really like a nap but pushing thru.

Ah ha! So it happens to lots of people driving thru that town. It must be their big revenue maker.
 
Good Evening Ladies,

Tonite I did KCMs Split Sessions Lower Body, 10min Solution Belly Fat Blaster, and TF Stretch 10.
 
Hi everyone

Bit calmer today! No workout for me though. Parents looking after DD while I work. She's off to Disneyland Paris with them this weekend so we'll have the house to ourselves!

Lisa - that story's like something out of a film! Scary!

Mary - 40/20 wasn't that bad actually - I do cheat a bit! Hope you cooled down.

Roxie - still melting I guess? I bet you're a puddle by the time you've finished working out!

Murphy - still taking it easy or back to knocking yourself out?

Jody - Time for a proper introduction: I'm 44, married with one DD aged 10 and we live in Oxford (that's in the UK not USA, there are probably loads over there!).

Have a good weekend everyone if I don't make it back.
 
Just finished Tracie Long Endurance For Movement. She does functional fitness and it was nice break from all the crazy stuff I have been doing. She does some plate/rag work that I expect to see in the new Cathe series. This dvd had the mountain climbers with plates/rags that was in one of the blog pictures and she does this push-up thing with the plates/rags too. It is a good workout. Of course I am a bit tired but I am attributing that to the heat.

Ronne - you are so close to all these different langauge speaking countries. Do you speak more than one language?

Murphy
 
Good morning! I have to workout still, have to find something...I have to put my thinking cap on! Ronne, enjoy the quiet! You two enjoy yourselves! Jody, my name is a play on my maiden name, it was a nickname in college! No scuba diving in Ohio! Roxie, still hot? I saw on the news this am, they were cooking eggs on the sidewalk, it worked! Lisa, what are you up to? I'm reading a new book, Homecoming by Cathy Kelly, now I am moving back to Ireland. Murphy, did you torture yourself again? Hope everyone has a good day, stay cool! Mary
 
I get to work from home today! The manager is taking the employees to lunch and the consultants/contractors (me) get to work at home. I'd sooooo much rather work at home than go to lunch! I did ME UB parts and STS TB UB premix plus STS TB abs.

Mary, I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse books (vampire). I've never read these types before and they've been different. There are 12 in the series I'm on #6 but need a break so going to start something different. It's a toss up. Are you still reading paperbacks or are you using your iPad? I found someone that has magazines too and put Cosmo and Marie Claire on my DH's ipad to look at them. I used to read Cosmo all the time and now I feel old because it just didn't interest me like it used to. I put these magazines and US weekly in my dropbox if you want it.

Murphy, I'm looking forward to those new low impact workouts, they are still intense and my joints like them too!

Ronne, have a great weekend with your DH and get that work done!

Waves to Roxie and Jody

Also 1 more pound GONE!
 
Hi Ronne, nice to meet you!

Mary, I was trying to imagine what you would be able to see in Lk Erie on your scuba trips, lol, so thanks for clearing that up for me. (I was born in OH but have lived in FL since I was 6)

Today is Leaner Legs, etc for me. I will be able to take a few days off from DVD w/o while my dad is here for a few days, then I think I will run thru CTX once more next week. Maybe you can help me decide what to do after that. I am glad to become familiar with my workouts, they are much more useful!

Does everyone have a fun weekend planned?

Jody
 
Good Morning,

Its 11:48 am and the temp is 99 with a heat index of 101 its suppose to hit 105 with a heat index of 110 degrees very humid outside. I don't mean to complain but it has been awhile since we have had these kind of temps this many days in a row. Tonite is KCMs Plyo Blast if I am not about to die when I get home. Last night I had sweat in my eyes and running down my back and we have our air conditioner set at 77 and there are 2 vents in my workout room. I was going to go to the pool this weekend but the biggest lake in our area was closed by the Kansas Department of Health due to some kind of toxic algea because the water has been so high and the temps to warm so the pool will be packed.

Mary-still hot how is the ac situation?

Lisa-I would love to be able to work from home. I just finished Janet Evanovich Seventeen. I am on the wait list for Sue Graftons new book and Janet has another one coming out later in the year.

Jody and Murphy good job with your workouts.
 
Roxie, DH said that the heat was awful out there and much different than our heat with the humidity. It's hot here still, they say may be the second hottest day this summer so far (first hottest was July 4th reaching 99), I really hate it when it gets to the 100s. Do you have an eReader or do you read paperbacks. I converted to an eReader (Nook) last Nov and I love it! I have contacts now where I get lots of my books. I'm always happy to share if you're interested. I so many books on my TBR (to be read) list, especially now after connecting with people on the internet and goodreads.com It's opened up a whole new world :) In fact I walked 3 miles on the TM while I walked at 3.3 mph.

I know Christmas is a ways away. My ebooks are epub format and kindles take mobi format. Not sure how good you are with technical things but there is a free program called Calibre that will convert the format to Kindle. I'm the programmer in the bunch so I've got these ebooks down to a science :)
 
Good Evening Ladies,

Tonite I did KCMs Plyo Blast and now I am a pool of sweat.

Lisa-I am not technical but DH is but if I have problems I will let you know.
 
Congrats on the 1 pd Lisa. I am keeping you in mind if I decide to get an e reader thingy. You make it sound so fun.

No scheduled w/o for me today but I did get my Leaner Legs and one dance class in yesterday. My dad is here for visit plus I am going home w/ him and picking up a car for my future teen drivers. Voot!

Good luck cooling off, y'all.
 
Good Morning,

I am headed upstairs in a few minutes to do KCM Circuit Blast, and maybe another stretch my upper back is killing me.

Jody-good job getting your workout in have fun with dad today.
