Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 12/25

Deb, I'd love to have those. I don't have Excel though, so if it's Excel format I can't get them to open. If you didn't keep my email I'll put in in a PM. TIA. sounds like the doggies are settled down to a later wake up time.

I got sore from the wood chopping. glad I did AT early yesterday before DOMs set in. Nothing too bad. funny places though. high up on my abs/ rib area, biceps on right arm, lower back. It was a really big tree with rounds about 18 inches by 3-4 feet across. Takes 2 people to get them on edge and roll them to the road where we split them. We're splitting and stacking it next to the road so when it dries by next fall, we can use the truck to bring it back uphill.... way uphill... to the woodshed. we end up moving each piece several times but at least don't have to do the uphill part. trucks are good for that.

Not sure what I'll do today. maybe LBB and the bicycle? I had some new workout pants on yesterday and DH was surprised by how my hip/butt area has shaped up. I don't think I've lost weight but have tightened up.

I guess I'll go off on a rant here. where do you find workout clothes, pants especially? Low rise pants make me crazy. won't stay up. If I get a pant small enough on top to stay up, I can't get it up my legs. if I get it up my legs, the "waist" is gigantic and falls down. falls right off. I bought some capri pants at Road Runner Sports that fit pretty well. a large comes up high enough...close to waist high.... has a drawstring waist so I can snug that part in. Can any of you make suggestions about where to get good workout wear?
these capris are nice. they fit closely on the leg and don't get in the way especially with the bike. I think flares are more flattering but these are nice for a change.
 
Hi Deb and Valerie--

This morning I did Cardio Supersets (41 min.).

Deb, yes, I would like the worksheets for AB and TS. I think you have my e-mail (?). Let me know.

Valerie, I have three pairs of knit shorts and matching tops with shelf bras from Title Nine. I love them. They are not tight and they stay put. They also have lasted a very long time showing no sign of wear.

DH and I are invited to two parties tomorrow night, the first from 5-9 and the second from 8-12. Bringing a ham to the first one and a cake to the second.

Any New Year's resolutions ladies?
 
Deb.. thank you. everything printed. I did get the triset workout so printed everything. I guess this means I need to go do one of them, huh?
 
Good morning all!

Well it's New Year's Eve day and I will be heading off to work by 6:00 am. Yeah for New Years.

No plans for tonight, just another quiet night at home. We will probably grill a steak, maybe try to get some crab legs.

Valerie, I use capri type sweat pants, and jogging bras. No one sees me in my basement, so I don't care what they look like. They have a draw string waist so they are ok..I should get some new stuff, mine has seen better days, and the bras have been washed etc, they don't fit right any more. If I am out in public working out, I wear the same thing, only with a long sleeveless t-shirt over it all.

Garance, 2 parties? what a "party animal" you are! LOL can you attach a link to the site and what you have purchased for workout clothes?

What is everyone else doing tonight?
 
A friend was coming for lunch today but she just cancelled, so we will go take a run in the local park most likely. a lovely sunrise. cold and partly clear. We decided against a camping trip this weekend and will do things from home instead. no parties or anything.

Got the electronics for the bike yesterday. I put the display screen on but can't figure out how the second part attaches so DH will have to rescue us.

Was just starting TB trisets yesterday ( for the 1st time) when DH called.. on the way home early. quickly switched to a workout I 'know"... LBB. threw in pushups at the end for good measure. How have you been doing the Triset one? splitting it into 2 parts?

I ordered 2 more pairs of capris. they were on sale for about $32 plus free shipping...a good buy. mostly I wear them alone in the basement but it's cold for shorts. possibly could wear on a bike ride if I added padded undies. possibly even a trail run. . they have a lot of spandex and seem to support & compress. they feel good. a little higher waistline would be better but these are good compared to most of what's out there and by going up a size I can hike them up high enough. I've ordered and returned several things that were "too" low rise. Best Top Brand Women's & Men's Running Shoes & Gear with Free Shipping | Road Runner Sports

excuse me.. when I typed in a small plain web address it expanded into a much bigger one. I'm not trying to promote it but have had pretty good luck with their products.

Hi Ladies,

Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I will be going on a 32 mile ride tomorrow and maybe one on Monday. I will be back to work on Tuesday.
