Penagenarians & Beyond: W/B 1/8

[Josie]

Happy Friday!

I will be riding on Saturday and Sunday and will be doing approximately 30 miles each day. I received my DVD’s and plan on trying one or the other on Monday. I have the day off and can review them and see which one I want to start with.

Last night was great! George Duke outdid himself and it was his birthday, so he performed for a longer time than expected.

I will be going out to dinner on Saturday to celebrate one of my rider friends birthday.

Have a wonderful week end everyone!

Yea I got my new computer set up. I felt lost without one. I didn't mind at all on vacation but at home is a different story.

I have followed the 3 month rotation since Monday. I have to lower weights and modify a lot on the LIS. I still got doms so it must work. I'm thinking 2 liter bottles instead of cups.

I am terrible at step so today will be the bonus section on low impact challenge.

Worked out earlier than usual today... did Cardio supersets, then the Ab section from the Barre workout. elbow on ground, other arm up is a dynamite move. I can do them all now but it stings.
I have a small dread factor for Afterburn. I'm getting better at the mt climbers and the walking pushups. doing toe mostly pushups again.
I must have lousy memory brain cells, I don't remember the workouts or the names of the moves.... have to see 1 rep of what they are going to do before I start. sometimes I can do it at the end of the set but not always.

I need to look up joni mitchell music and also george duke. don't know who he is.

wow, is that the truth... can't stand it in my house when the computer is down. DH works with people all day, but I don't. it's quiet here.. it has become a big connection to the rest of the world for me.

Good morning,

Lots of bad weather yesterday, a lake effect storm, not too much accumulation, but it was so windy and icy, especially bad when driving. Now it's just the ice to put up with.

Valerie, hope all goes well with your MIL. We still have the LP albums, up in the attic, in boxes, but at least we can take them in the car etc now that some of our favorites are on CD. I'm like you, now at home if no computer, I feel disconnected for some reason. I like the computer as a reasearch tool, love looking up and finding things that we could never have done before.

Garance, no day off for MLK. We changed our time off policy to eliminate 6 holidays, and turned them into what we call "floating holidays" or basically persoal days. So we have the 5 major holidays off, plus 6 floating holidays that you can use when you want to. I sure like this better. I don't care about having Columbus day off, or President's day. I can take them if I wanted to, but most people don't, and take the 6 "floaters" as we call them, when they want to. What's on the comfort menu tomorrow?

Joan, yes, I think I will take your idea and use 2 liter bottles! LOL. I havn't tried the bonus step on either DVD ( I think it't the same on both) but will definitely try it one of these days. How are your eyes?

Josie, have a good ride!

Off for more coffee, then I think we are going out for breakfast.

Take care,

I'm trying to figure out why it's so weird when the computer is down. maybe it's like kids who text all the time rather than talk. ( I'm not going to reach the point where I e-mail someone next to me in the car or the table) I'm not likely to "call" someone since usually they are doing something, working or shopping. everyones' schedule is so different, it's almost like I'd not know when to call anyone unless it's prearranged. most of my long time friends live in other time zones. If I email I communicate without interrupting someone else's day. I like to email neighbors etc for the same reason.

Researching anything... even a phone number.... is almost always easier online than anywhere else.
Deb, I would like the floating holiday idea better than pre set days off. DH has monday off all the time now and it's kind of annoying to have the rest of the world getting the same day as a holiday. we tend not to do much on holiday weekends ... crowded roads, traffic issues. somehow it brings out "jerk" behavior in too many people especially if the weather is nice.
We don't have our snow yet, and it's not for sure anyway. temps don't get below 30 too much here so it's always on the cusp of snow vs rain ...or freezing rain or sleet or some other nasty combo.
We were going to do a trail run this morning but right now it's raining so will see if it it lightens up as the morning progresses.
