May 40's, week of 5/6/12

Good Evening,

Tonite I went to the gym and did the elliptical then came home and did STS Med Ball Abs and TF Stretch 10 which I should have done last night because my legs and butt hurt.

Mary-I really need you to come to my house and help me clean.
 
Hi all

Lisa - hope everything goes well tomorrow, the sun shines and everyone enjoys themselves! Can't wait to see the pics!

Mary - I think you must have the cleanest house in the States! Didn't you just clean your drawers??!! Sounds like you're hitting the workouts again as well, good for you!

Jody - more hugs! I'm excited cos the book was a good price and it's an easy way to get hold of Spanish books. It's a detective novel. I'm a Spanish graduate but it feels like my languages are going off the boil a bit so I want to get back into it again.

Murphy - well speak is a very broad term - I did French/Spanish/Portuguese at university and I also spent time in Japan. Spanish is my strongest language - the others vary from a bit to hardly any!

Roxie - I'm getting quite jealous of your gym trips now!

Not sure if I'm even going to manage a workout today - was hoping to get some yoga in but will just have to see how the day pans out. Been to the doctor this morning (nothing serious) but it took a big chunk out of the morning (my exercise time) so who knows!
 
Hi all. I took a rest day this morning. I feel like a cold is coming on and I don't want to push it and get sick. I was coughing yesterday and my throat was bothering me. I feel better now but I am tired. I think I will keep up with the tea and soup and hope to keep this at bay. I may try for some travel fit tomorrow. That way I get a work out in but am not doing anything too crazy - like afterburn. ;-)

Hi to all. I hope everyone is feeling good or less bad, whatever the case may be. Hugs to all.

Murphy
 
Good Morning,

The instructor I have been wanting to take a Turbo Kick class with is teaching tonite so I am going to do that. She looks like Chalene and the classes are designed after her they have a poster with her on their wall so I know it will be fun and I should be familiar with some of the moves.

Murphy-hope you feel better soon.

Mary-the sunburn is in the itchy phase some of it still stings.

Ronne-I am having more fun then I first thought I would and my legs are killing me.
 
Thanks for the love, y'all. I'm feeling better. My other dog who was normally dominated by her sis is starting to fill in the energy and taking a move toward front and center.

I did a Ronne inspired Intensity Low Hiit BC pm today, perfect for me today.

Roxie, sounds like the class will be super fun for you. I've never done CLX but it looks energetic. Murphy, I hope the soup and tea help and nip it before it takes over. Ronne, reading a good novel sounds like a fun way to stay on top of language. I liked the expression, going off the boil, too. Mary, I'm tempted to encourage you to spend more time getting messy in order to work both the yin and yang. Waves to Lisa on her hike.~
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I went to Turbo Kick and it was all the moves from Turbo Fire but put together in a different way, luckily for me it was a new routine so everyone had to learn it so I didn't feel out of place.
 
Hi girls! Sorry no check in yesterday. I did KCM plyo. I went to court with GF, her divorce hearing was yesterday, all day on a bench! I think today will be some kickboxing or weights? Jody, how are you doing? Murphy, did the cold come? Lisa, have a great wedding day! Roxie, sounds like you are having fun! Ronne, you are pretty amazing! I took 5 years of Spanish. I can ask "por favor mas cerveza?" and then the most important " done esta el bano?". Hope everyone has a great day! Mary
 
Hi all

Just a quickie from me today - work, work!

Mary - you made me laugh - but you're right you've got the two most important phrases down!!

Lisa - thinking of you - photos look great, you all look lovely!

Murphy - did you send your cold over here? :mad: Only kidding, I know who's responsible - DH! I can just feel a tickle at the back of my throat ...

Hi Jody and Roxie

Well, I started out doing a 30min Circuit Burn premix but halfway through I felt a bit rough, my heartrate was through the roof (it hit 200) and I decided to be sensible and stopped. Feel like I've got a cold coming and I really could do without it (I'm working on Sat so no chance for a rest!).
 
Good Afternoon,

Tonite is another session with my trainer and then I need to do some cardio my body was screaming for a stretch this morning so I did SM with the band.

Lisa-hope you are enjoying yourself and the weather holds out.

Mary-more spanish then I can say other then counting to 12 I know very little.

Ronne-hope you feel better and fight off that cold. Good job listening to your body.

Jody-how are you today.

Lisa & Jody-did you see they pulled 50 Shades off of the library shelves in Florida?
 
Interesting. I checked my county system-they've got about 30 copies all checked out or being held for someone. So Palm Beach county is still ok w/ erotica on the public library shelves I guess. There is a readers' advisory with it though.

Tired, have to plan dance class. Don't wanna. Wah. No quiero baila de árabe. lol

I hope Lisa is having a lovely day with her son and family! Hugs and feel better to all.

Jody-they said in the article I read that once the copies are returned they will not be put back on the shelves.
 
I think its just a few counties. LOL, SNL did a spoof of it and Ellen, too. They are calling it mommy porn. True dat. To me, it started off steamy and interesting enough that I could ignore the Harlequin romance-esque writing but now I only pick it up if I'm in the mood for a cheap thrill. ; )

Hello

Jody - I saw the 'mommy porn' quote somewhere as well. I think that book is doing quite well here also!

Roxie - so how was the trainer last night?

Just some light yoga for me today, enough to feel like I've done something but not to make me feel crap. Cold in full flight, o joy! Not a particularly exciting weekend ahead, work in London tomorrow (stuck in a studio all day) then hopefully veg out on Sunday.

Have a good one everyone!
 
I wonder how the wedding went? Roxie, how's the little momma? Growing families. Ronne, I hope your cold passes quickly. Mary and Murphy, how goes? Does everyone have Mother's day plans? That's this weekend, right? or maybe not til next.

Those little tomato plants (grew from grape tomatoes I threw onto the dirt) have ripening tomatoes on them. I think they need stakes cuz the plants are laying on ground. Or maybe I should just pull them up since they are growing where I've sprayed Round Up in the past in an effort to deter anything from growing on my patio. (the anti-yard care former home owner in me)

Both kids need doc visits for check ups and maintenance. So does the other dog. So do the cars.

I did Weider X-Factor week 1 (30 min body weight interval type workout). There was an enthusiastic thread here in OD and a 35 page one on VF. 30 bucks at walmart. Obviously I don't need more workouts but after 600 at the vet on Mon, I'm like, wth. It was a good workout.

Take care all
 
Good Morning,

I went to the trainer last night and she put me through another awesome workout and then weighed me again I am done .05lb and 2% body fat so whatever she has me doing is working. Tonite is Body Jam haven't taken this class before but it looks fun.

Jody-little momma is doing just fine and yes Sunday is Mothers Day, I have to attend a high school graduation that day but both of my girls are going to be with me.

Ronne-I told the trainer that even though she is small she is tough she said it made her excited when she saw I was on her schedule for last night and she doesn't get excited about to many of her clients.
 
Hi girls! Today did the TM, have to get back to business! Roxie, I bet it is your enthusiasm and how hard you work! I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Jody, you do have a green thumb! I need to do some yard work. I feel like I kill everything! Ronne, hope you feel better soon! A spring cold is miserable. Lisa, how was the wedding? We want details! And pictures! Murphy, are you out there? No big plans for Sunday, the kids want to see The Avengers, so I imagine I do too! Have a good day, Mary
 
Here I am. No workout today. I am feeling fine, I just did not sleep last night. We took my M-I-L out for dinner last for Mother's Day. She did not have her glasses and DH had to read the menut to her, she could not decide what she wanted to drink and the waiter told her EVERY drink on the menu and then she could not decide what she wanted to eat. After she orders DH starts saying she shold eat more and startes talking her into getting something more than a salad (she had chili at the house not too long before we ate) and then she agrees to add shrimp to it. When the food comes, she takes my shrimp meal and then I had to shout over the kids to the waiter who gets what and then DH tells me I was being mean to the waiter.
&(*&(%%*^%&%^* So, DH and I are fighting and she is oblivious. BTW, she only drank 1/2 of her tea and ate 1/2 of her salad and 1/2 of the shrimp. Yes, money (that we don't have) well spent! I am trying to relax and let it go but I did not sleep well. Plus, he was snoring again. ARGGGG.
 
Hi girls! Wedding was great! Had a great time! Took my FL sis and her DH hiking today in the SNOW! It was snowing! 3.5 miles

Running around like crazy with not much sleep! So excuse no personals!

Here's some photos....so many to choose from and I tried to weed out a lot.
