Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 10/4

Good evening ladies...

Ran this morning and no workout at lunch. Was extremely busy. It is 7:30ish and I haven't even begun to pack yet! My lovely boss decided to keep me late at the office. He knew I really wanted to get out on time and nope did not happen. He is such a jerk. He is suppose to be calling me tonight too with something he needs. Seriously? My DH is so pissed right now.

Deb...have a great time in DC! I am going for a weekend in early November. My cousin passed away in June and his final resting place will be at Arlington National. I will be attending the service and staying with the family over the weekend. Oh and yes...I will be bringing my workout clothes to Cancun and I have all my workouts planned for the week.

Valerie...as I mentioned previously we get the same thing..horse droppings everywhere! Hate it!! I am not a germ freak but do frequently use hand sanitizer. I just do not want to get sick.

Lynda...that would be really nice for you to have lunch with the poet. I am sure you would enjoy that. The next computer we buy will be an apple product. I can't wait for ours to die!!

Judy...lately I have really been enjoying metabolic workouts. I feel I get my strength and cardio done all at once!

Josie...wow that is a huge price tag on your daughter's car repairs. Ouch!! Sounds like a great job too. Good for her! I probally could do carry on only for Cancun...but unfortunatley, I am the one that packs all the stuff we use...i pack plastic solo cups...we all get 4 of our own color for the week, floaties for the pool /ocean, nerf football, huge beachball and several bottles of spray suntan lotion...so with all this I need the extra room. We consider ourselves professional Cancun vacationers!!!

Well...I really need to start packing. Have a great night all. I'll catch up over the week.
 
This is going to be an uphill battle. I've been doing upper body weights now for a few weeks, getting slight but expected doms.. yesterday I decided to do a Slide and glide premix. Until this shoulder injury, I never thought about how we use our shoulders in warm ups, plank moves, burpees. etc. I haven't done any moves like that for a year. I was worried about the rapid movements....could re-injure before I knew it was happening. so put a S&G premix (with abs) in the player and proceeded to about kill myself. skipped quite a few reps. I did a few of the burpees, and push ups, far from all. If Cathe did 6 , I did 2. Wow. It was hard. my right knee bothered me too. I feel like I aged about 10 years!

this morning I feel OK, nothing really sore. I plan to gradually work back to normal cathe workouts. shoulder was (and is) fine. I've been nervous about going back to these movements. I wanted to do the slower weight work first to be sure I was truly OK. I have slacked on cardio also, because so many workouts upper body is part of getting the heart rate up and I didn't want to chance it. Riding does NOT do it well enough for me. Keeps me from turning into a total couch potato but not intense enough.
Hope I'm not talking to myself here. this will be a quiet few days with Deb and Lori on vacation.
 
I'm here! Free wifi in the hotel, so i can kee an eye you all. Lol.

Valerie, I you are ok. I modify all burees and mt cimbers using my old Firm step up box. I pu my hands on that instead of the floor and can keep up pretty well. It still gets my heart racing.
 
I'm here too! DH is on vacation this week but we aren't going anywhere. Just doing things around the condo.

I don't have Slide & Glide. I really have a hard time with the disc moves so I don't think that would be a good one for me.
 
Thanks Deb. I was able to do all the moves on the floor just not as many. did most of the mountain climbers but went easy on the pushups as I did toe ones..... slowly! I can get out a step , then maybe I can do them all. thanks for the idea. might help me get going again at less risk.

I got a mailer from my regular veterinarian saying that there are problems with a new formulation of rat poison. It's not like the old Coumadin based ones that could be maybe counter acted if a pet accidentally ate the bait or ate a rodent who'd eaten bait. There is no antidote for this..the new ingredient is bromethalin. I use snap traps or sticky traps for mice not poison, but thought this is a heads up for everyone with pets. I have never used poison but you don't know if your neighbors might.
also they gave pricing on vaccinations and worming. from 9 to $13 depending on weight. not a big deal if necessary.
 
Valerie, thanks for the heads up. 2 of our previous dogs were poiisoned (we never knew where it came from. we never use any poison in our yard, but like you said, you don't know what your neighbors use and if it is dragged into your yard by some critter.

Judy, Home vacations are the Best!

Tomorrow we are going on a boat ride down the Potomac, to Mt Vernon, touring that and then the ride back. It's about a 5 hour total trip.

Take care,
