Pentagenarians & Beyond: W/B 12-27

WOW, garance, i am so impressed that you can do cathe at all. so, did your knee problems just come on suddenly or could you tell things were going bad? my knees are ok, it is my feet. they hurt all the time and i have tendonitis in my heels. it is such a drag. and , you were very smart to cancel , i really wish i had. they look way too hard, for sure. i will probably try to do them, but i may not be able to walk the rest of the day.

ok, i am taking nexium and also w/my diet. i have already changed my diet w/ WW. so, yes to both of your questions, deb. and, my throat and esophagus are sore from them stuffin the tube down them. have felt a little icky yesterday and today. i got some nasty stuff called pink magic from the dr. and it is GROSS. i numbs your throat and esophagus, and off course your lips and tongue. itis kinda like chloraseptic. but, my chest was rather painful, so had to do something. i did not anticipate any pain, so i wasnt' really ready for it. but, i'm doing ok. my dr. told me i have lesions on my stomach and esophagus from ibuprofin/ and feldene, which is a stronger type of ibuprofin. so, ya'll be careful w/ibuprofin. i didn't know it did that. i thought that was aspirin. so, now i have to talk to my regular dr. about taking celebrex instead of feldene. so, is that way more info than ya'll wanted ? LOL!

i love tracie's new workouts. i've done step forward 2 or 3 times this week. and then, i did defining shape yesterday, and core cardio today. i love core cardio. it is so fun. not one of the new ones, but i love it. tomorrow, think i'm gonna do back up.
we never do anything for new years eve. tomorrow we're takin the horses down to my sons and gonna ride w/the grandkids.
so, all ready for a new year? the old year went by in a flash, as usual.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

New Year's Day

Happy New Year!

We had our usual steak and crab leg dinner made by DH, with some of his homemade bread.

Today we will go to my brother's for an early dinner. There is a hockey game tonight and my niece has season's tickets so we have to eat early so she can be at the game. That is fine with me. I like to get home early.

Garance, what will you do with your "rest" week?

Cathy, thanks for the tip on the Ibuprofin...I used to take that like candy when I had my back/disk problem, before the surgery. I limit it now to when I really need it. As a matter of fact, I woke up with a terrible headache, ( no driniking involved!), and took 2 this morning. I hope the throat pain goes away for you after that test. Good luck with Shock Cardio. I hope you are able to modify whereever you need to.

Hi to Josie, Joan and Valerie!
 
Hi Deb, Cathy, Valerie--

I slept in this morning because we stayed up partying rather late last night. So--only 5 instead of my usual 6 workouts this week.

Cathy, I think my left knee was telling me something for quite awhile, but I just wasn't listening until it really, really hurt. There is a thread over at videofitness.com started by Kathryn with suggestions for how to modify the Shock Cardio if you are interested in finding ways to deal with the impact. Personally, I would have to modify almost everything on most of them, and where's the fun in that? You might as well make up your own workout of low impact moves and put some Rolling Stones on and whoop it up.

Deb, my plan is to do a week of Physique 57 (all three), followed by Leslie on 2 of the shorter ones, either Athletic Step or Step Moves, Bootcamp Boogie or Cardio Barre, and the Travel Fit workout. Yum, steak and crab legs and homemade bread.

I am trying to decide whether to buy the Brazil Butt Lift DVDs. A videofitness thread makes them sound short and effective. Sigh! I really shouldn't but . . . .

Went to see The Blind Side and really enjoyed Sandra Bullock in this one. Also found it very moving at times. Great true story.
 
Saturday

Good Morning all,

No workout today..I may do my new Cardio Coach that I downloaded yesterday if I feel some energy coming one. It is 10 degrees here right now, very sunny but brrrr...cold.

HouseMax on the agenda for today, also may give the bathroom contractor a call, may change up a few things...

Garance, now I have to go see what is up with that Brazil Butt Lift DVD...I have heard about it here and other places...mmm...that moving sounds interesting.

Have a good day!
 
Hi Deb and any later posters--

Housemax for me this morning. It's been continuous light snowfall here and promises to just keep snowing for another day. I decided to just stay in and read the biography of the Queen Mother. It is incredibly long, but I have been reading parts of it every day now for quite a long time. I have truly enjoyed it, although it is not as much fun as John Adams. I still have quite a bit more to read. It's like a refresher course in 20th c. European history too.

I broke down and ordered Brazil Butt Lift from totalfitnessdvds. I am totally baaaad. But I have sold a couple of my Cathe DVDs at Amazon--IMax 3 (which I tried to do just twice), Cardio Fusion--and I think I will try to sell some more there that I don't use--Butts and Guts, I think, and definitely Kickmax.

I'm pretty sure you would like The Blind Side, Deb.

Well--back to the Queen Mum for a bit more.
 
housemax needs to be on the schedule for me, just have not gotten around to it. gonna try on monday.

i did tracie's back up yesterday and it is so fun. all of hers are really fun. i like them. have been adding stephanie's power fit after each one of traice's.
i have not had the guts or energy to try STS cardio , yet. maybe next week. i'm kinda scared to try it.
well, bed time for me.
