November Fog: Who Cares?!

XT CBS today and a 2 mile walk. My biceps are still sore from ICE MM biceps 2 days ago. Does anyone find that one particularly hard? I'm going to make DH do it and see what he thinks. I have a massage tomorrow so will be a rest day. Roxie, how's the legs? Murphy, it seems like it's been a while with your foot. Mary, when I'm super busy, especially with work (when I worked) I had a hard time turning off my brain!

Running the bikes to the bike shop to get new tires for DH and swept back handlebars for my manual bike, hopefully that will eliminate some shoulder blade knots, woke up with one this morning, not sure what triggered it but could have been from the 2 manual bike rides we did even though that was a few days ago. With the cold it's a good time to get them fixed up!
 
Hello! Today did a Jillian Michaels workout I have never tried, I understand why I left it in the wrapper! Lisa, will you put your bike on a trainer now that winter is coming? Murphy, you must have really hurt that foot! Hello to everyone else! I have to get moving, I have some sort of legging party to get to, lularoe? Not quite sure, I do love leggings tho! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I did StudioSweat Spin this morning my legs are fried. It was almost 80 degrees today and tomorrow the high is 49 what a shift in the weather.
 
Hi everyone

Mary - I've gone one Jillian Michaels DVD. I don't really use it. It's OK, but her warm-up and cool down aren't great and I always think I might get injured.

Lisa - as I've only done the MMs once I can't really remember the biceps. I'll dig it out when I've finished the rotation and see what I think.

ICE CLB today. If I'd had time I would have added the BB, it definitely felt like a lighter day. Nice to have that with Cathe for a change!
 
Hi all. Did some floor work this morning. These shorter workouts feel...well, real short. It is weird doing a 20 minute dvd. I think the lack of impact, low or otherwise, makes me feel like something is missing. I see the foot doctor after Thanksgiving. Let's hope for good news.

Ronne/Mary - I don't have any Jillian Michaels dvd's. I borrowed one once and it was okay, but not enough to invest. There was something I about it that I didn't care for, maybe it was the warm-up and cool down for me too.
Mary - how was the legging party. I have heard of lularoe but don't have any of their stuff.
Lisa - did you get the new handlebars?

Murphy
 
Good Evening,

I did StudioSweat Upper Body weights.
It's really cold out today upper 40's with a wind chill of 29.
 
Good Afternoon,

Another StudioSweat Spin workout today I am really having fun with the spin workouts not so much the weight work I might start doing my own thing.
 
Hi ladies! Yesterday my massase was good but sore after on my shoulder blade. She confirmed it's probably how my arms are on my regular bike, so glad I sprung for the handlebars! Today I did XT bi/tri and a 2 mile walk, I'm doing good on the walks! My foot/ankle doing ok! Roxie, I got my spin bike and shoes set back up again, so when it's cold and I haven't cycled for a while I'm going to do a short studio sweat spin, making sure not to stand up on the pedals (I know this was what put my weak ankle over the edge). Murphy I got my new handlebars today, looks nice (my DS thinks it looks dorky), can't wait to try them out, not sure if most of the icey spots will be gone by tomorrow for a short ride. I'm sure you are missing the huffing and puffing? Can you do a stationary bike? Ronne, I would like your opinion on MM biceps when you do it again, you've been doing a lot of tough looking workouts. Mary, are you and Jody hooking up? Jody, lol on relatives....my sisters still irritate me for various reasons. My one sis won't eliminate her sweet tea (that's all she drinks) even though she has to go on insulin (shakes head). But I finally said what I wanted about that she sho9uld do that, she promptly changed the subject.....and I'm supposed to feel sorry for her when her health declines....unbelievable
 
Hi all! I got to meet Mary yesterday! It was such a treat to get to know her without public forum restrictions LOL of course now she knows that I babble on in real life just like I do here on the forums, ha! Speaking of drinking stuff that's bad for you I had a big coffee and couldn't fall asleep until 2 o'clock last night. Lisa, I just keep walking away from the conversations. I probably should change subject but I'm not sure there is any common ground to be found. Im going for a walk hike today. There is snow on the ground
 
Hi all

Jody - well, at least you had Mary for a bit of sanity!! I'm so jealous at you getting to meet up.

Lisa - Glad to hear the walks are getting easier.

I ended up taking the weekend off. I was supposed to work out yesterday but wasn't feeling 100%. Back to normal today with AOLIH.
We went to see Fantastic Beasts on Friday as soon as it was released. DD is a big HP geek and was desperate to see it. Went for pizza first to make a night of it. Enjoyed the film.
 
Yesterday I did spinning on the spin bike (no standing on the drills) for 45 min, today was a 20 mile bike ride. Roxie, there's a Peloton app on ipad/iphone if you have one. Jody, hope you have a decent hike....I can't believe your trip coincided with the first measurable snow( is that right Mary?). Ronne, baby steps!
 
HI girls! Quick hello! I did get to hang with Jody yesterday and she is just as adorable as you imagine! No worries Ronne, as I was telling Jody, I had a dream she surprised me and you all came over to my house and we hung out and it was amazing! Except my house was a mess!!??? I don't think I will be around until next week, I have to work tomorrow and then get my hair done and then the kids will be home for 5 days! I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving! Mary
 
Hi all,
Still doing floor work. I am really feeling it. Wow, it doesn't take much to get out of shape does it???? It does feel good to be getting back. The foot is getting better. I see the doctor again next week or so. I hope to have some good news.

Ronne - How was the movie?
Mary - I forgot, my kids will be home for a few days too. :-0
Jody - Are you back home yet?
Lisa/Roxie - sounds like you both are enjoying the spin bike, I can't wait to get back to it (can't because of the foot)

Murphy
 
Hi all

Lisa - how did it feel going back to the spin bike?

Mary - have a lovely time with the family.

Murphy - the film was really good - quite funny in parts. More importantly DD loved it!

Had my annual shopping trip with my mum yesterday. Went for lunch in a nice vegetarian restaurant, then got loads of my shopping done. Ticked off a lot of people from my list. What a relief! Finished off with a gluhwein in the German Christmas market.
Back to normal today, Xtrain Legs done.
Oh, and DH's eldest daughter gave birth to her first baby yesterday. A girl, 7lb 12oz, mother and baby back home already. So exciting!
 
Yesterday was a busy day and cold rainy, I did get in ICE MTB! Of course the weights were lower (didn't want to anger my shoulder since I finally got it calm yet again---blaming old bike handlebars ride a week ago), I got up a good HR and burned a decent amount, whew that one can wind you in sections! I had to be careful of side lunges (mine looked like side squats), and lunges in general a the toe foot bothers me still. I have DOMS in glutes and hammies today and my foot did OK (hurt a bit last night but this morning is ok). Slowly building up! Today DH and I plan a quick little ride, waiting for it to warm up, I want to test out my new handlebars on my regular bike. Ronne, spin bike was ok but made me realize my love really is the thrill of being outside and exploring. My butt got sore sitting the whole time as I didn't get butt brakes like I do on the regular bike because when going downhill I'll straighten a leg to ease my butt off the seat. Glad to see you got me marked off you Christmas list *LOL*. Will you be going to see the new baby? Mary, that would be my house that was in your dream! Next week DH is gone again and will be cold, I'm hoping to get some overdo cleaning done, really not looking forward to it. Before you and Jody ask (if you saw it on FB), it isn't me looking to go back to IBM. DH's work contact that he's worked with for decades and who hired him at the company he currently is at is back at IBM and now looking to hire DH back there. DH hasn't been happy in his current job/company but just was trying to stick it out (we figure 2.5 more years before retirement), they've pigeon holed him in old architecture and with this new position he will be back in the new current architecture. Hope that makes sense.
 
Hi all

Lisa - MTB is tough even with lighter weights. Yes, we're going up on Saturday (they live about 3 hours away).

Did two segments of Tabatacise today. That was enough. I may not be around tomorrow as it's my friend's dad's funeral. Hope you all have a nice weekend.
 
I did a 30 min spinning on Thanksgiving, and Friday DH and I went for a 15 mile ride on the regular bikes. Ronne, I look forward to doing more MTB, I just have to take it slowly, I feel it in my foot right where the dr said the extra bone is, I'll get there!
Thanksgiving was nice I just forgot how to cook for so many people (used to cooking for 2), DS thinks he may get back for Christmas too.
