Pentagenarians & Beyond W/B 7/14

[Traildoggie]

Deb, it's near Lincoln city. a several mile stretch of hotels, restaurants and 'shops". I'd rather have a no anesthetic root canal than spend time there... I'm not one for traditional "tourist" destinations. we drove around trying to find places to hike but didn't find anything. a couple possible trails were closed for elk calving season for another couple days. roads too busy to road bike, especially with all the big campers / trailers.

one trail we found was loaded with people. it went out to a headland where the wind was seriously blowing. I sound awfully fussy, don't I? was blowing 30 knots and that's not fun. We'd hoped to go out on the ocean on their boat but too rough. last time we were there we went out fishing on a river and saw lots of birds and otters and we should have done that again. I was absolutely twitchy by the time we left. not good being without activity for that long. at least temps were cool and pleasant and it was mostly sunny. I slept really well and read a little bit.

bummer on the lactose intolerance. I'm sure you've tried Lactaid? I 've read it doesn't work 100% for everyone but I would use it just for occasional ice cream, probably my absolute favorite dessert.

Valerie,

I have tried it and it works for me, but I usually don't have it with me when out and about. I also drink Lactaid milk.

Good afternoon ladies!

Never did High Reps. This heat is messing with my workouts! I did do a T25 workout at least. Figured in this heat I could get through 25 minutes and I did. Going to be record hot here today 100+ degrees! Made sure I did my workout in this morning. Did the cardio kick punching drills then 4DS bis and tris. Will most certainly go for a swim tonight!

I am not a sun person either. I wear sunscreen every day and will be under an umbrella if I go to the beach. DH loves the beach and sun so we have learned to compromise.

Welcome back Valerie! Too bad about the boat. I would be so seasick if that was me. I hear you about crowds. Makes it even worse when it is so hot out. I am the same way...need to be doing something. I can be sitting around for long.

Josie...keeping my fingers crossed for your foot. I am loving T25. Alpha is not as intense as Insanity but a great workout none the less. Thinking Beta will be a lot harder. Wishing DD luck on the job too!

Judy...great job on the workouts. I hurt my bicep by not listening to my body. I worked out one day doing a Firm DVD that requires fast movements with a 3lb weight. Even though my arm was sore I continued for another few days working out thinking it was nothing. Well ended up having tears in the lower part of my bicep and tendonitis in my forearm. Both were equally as painful. Took a surgical procedure and almost two years of PT. It just kept flaring up and was very persistent. I now will listen to my body. Will never do that again!

Deb...LOL! Yup we are never satisfied are we. And you are correct about sleeping in. I am up at 6 on weekends too. I feel the day is half over if heaven forbid I sleep to 8 or 9am!!

Hi to Garance!

Valerie...meant I CAN'T be sitting around for long!

 

[Traildoggie]

That's OK Lori, I figured it out! yeah, I get all "sunscreened-up" but nowhere to go. I get motion sick too, but am OK if I can see land...keeps me oriented. LOVED that pic of you at the WD!

I learned the hard way about injuries too.... tore my ACL many years ago, but kept going for YEARS before getting it properly checked out. had a bunch of painful events but I'd ice it, take advil, and keep on going. no lasting damage but talk about a DUMB thing to do!

I'm the same way, "sleeping in" means sleeping to 5:30 or 6.

for anyone who's still keeping track of the great wedding dress saga, I decided to keep my first choice which was #1 I think. it was the maroon-ish colored one and the simplest lines. I'll try to re-post a pic.

Hi,

It turns out that I do have a fracture on my left foot. The fracture is on the outside of my foot on the top part near my little toe. I walk fine and the swealing is minimal but I have to go see the podiatrist on Monday

Hi Everyone,

I had the day off so I had more time to workout. I walked and biked for 2 hours, then this evening I did Gym Style Legs. That is a great workout! My legs will be sore tomorrow!
My SIL and her family are coming into town to see FIL this week. I'm probably going to have to miss a few workouts so I tried to make up for it today

Deb-FIL has A/C, and hopefully it will be working well this weekend.

Josie-sorry about your foot Hopefully it will heal quickly and not bother you too much.

Lori-I had to learn to listen to my body too. In the past I've tried to run through injuries before and just made things worse. Now I stop running the minute I feel something isn't right.

Hi Valerie and Lynda!

Have a great weekend!

Judy

Good morning ladies!

Came home and went to the pool. Was too hot to do anything else. About to take chester for a long walk this morning before it gets too hot for him. Poor guy has not gone all week.

Its our anniversary on Sunday and we are planning to go for brunch at a restaurnt we both really enjoy. Other than this I have no plans other than house max!!!

Josie...good thing you went and had your foot looked at. I did not expect to hear a fracture. Hope you are up and working out soon. Take it slow. You will be glad you did.

Judy...good to know you liked Gym Style Legs. I have heard good things about this DVD.

Hi to Valerie, Deb and Garance!

 

[irongrl]

Happy Anniversary Lori!

Tiger suggested I do some Burn Sets this morning!

I ordered Butts & Guts since it is a deal of the day.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi all,

didn't get a chance to stop by today, agility class, followed by other chores, dry cleaners etc etc. It's not as hot here but we had thunderstorms all night and this morning, lots of power outages and flooding. We are lucky to not have either.

Josie, sorry about your foot, take it easy those kinds of injuries hang around and nag you if you don't give them the chance to heal. Good luck to your DD with the job opportunity.

Valerie, I think that was the dress that got a vote from everyone here..

Judy, I haven't done the Gym Styles in a while, here's betting you get the other two soon! LOL the pic of Tiger with the DVD that he picked out for you!

Lori, Happy Anniversary!

Just hanging around right now, trying to stay cool...

Take care,
