Thankful 40's+

Mary, your rants are so concise I hardly know you are upset and then it is over. : P Good point about your old dentist, that is unfortunate.

Here is mine- my eye doc visit for yearly exam including contact prescription was $200 (up from 120 I think) that I paid out of pocket. But now my insurance has to cover such visits so yesterday, 3 months after exam, I get a 50 dollar refund that was "allowed" and paid for by insurance.
Me before Affordable Care = pay 120 to my doc
Me after Affordable Care = pay 200 to my doc and wait 3 months to get 50 back.
See, I can't rant as concisely as Mary.

Edited to add workout +
I did GS Ba Sh Bi (ts) plus 2 mile walk/jog (completing 1st week of rotation). My schedule this month is a little slower, I should be getting workouts done regularly.
Lisa, the wraps are sounding so cute! I'm happy for your improvement and wishing you many more days of doms instead of aches.

Good Evening,

I didn't feel up to a workout this morning but I did do my planks and then I went and got my haircut back where we use to live took it from between the shoulder blades to under the chin. It was 70 here yesterday and 30 today.

Lisa-I am averaging 2 days a month this month its going to be 4 days.

Jody-good job with your workouts.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - woo hoo!! Welcome back DOMS. Bad news about DS house. Sounds like he's on the ball though, hope he gets some good news.

Jody - wow! I pay £30 for an eye test. Good workout, and well done on first week of rotation.

Roxie - I love a radical haircut. Any colour?

Mary - I hope you're not suffering too much.

No workout to report of course. Sorted out my iPod, thank goodness. It was pretty simple.
Hoping the painter is going to be finished today. Room is looking good.
 
Hi all. Just a quick pop-in to say I have been sick lately. Nothing major, just a regular change of weather cold-thing. I have not been able to rest properly so this thing won't go away. This weekend is not looking any better. :-( I'll be back when I am feeling better. Waves to all.

Murphy
 
Not too much of a workout today, only first 2 combos of Athletic training. Day after massage, the muscles between shoulder blades just feel so weak so even with no arms it just was a bit much and I didn't want to cause them to tighten too much. that sounds stupid typing it :) . I didn't have any shoulder blade knots, just tightness, the neck SCM muscle (from front neck to behind your ear ) had a thick cable of muscle she said...this is the one that holds your head up when doing ab work, and I did do crunches, so I know that's a sensitive area still so won't attempt until day before my next massage :) . My tri's and lat's have major DOMS....I think from pullovers, haven't done those since before surgery.

Murphy, hope you feel better soon!

Jody, I hate waiting to get my money back, and I hate submitting paperwork to do so.

Ronne, how exciting for your redecorating!

Mary, how's the tootH?
 
Good Morning,

I did KCM SlimSculpt 2 and it was a goody the 8lb was fine for the arm work but not heavy enough for the leg work and then I did KBX2 which is not one that I do very often so didn't get a good burn with it.

Ronne-no color still have some left at the ends from last year.
 
Hi girls! Sorry never mad it here yesterday, I had the consult with root canal doctor and then we had a band banquet, no work out yesterday, today did a Jessica Smith, power something. Murphy, hope you feel better quickly! Lisa, how frustrating about the house! DS seems like he has a good handle on it. Jody, I hate submitting the paperwork and then waiting, so frustrating. I'm glad your schedule is calming down a bit. Ronne, so your room should be done by the weekend? That's exciting! All clean and fresh! Roxie, are you feeling better? The cold made its way here too! Have to work on paperwork, only 4 more days of the semester! I'm getting excited! Mary
 
Hello

Murphy - sorry to hear you've been ill, hope you start feeling better soon.

Lisa - you'll probably be able to dive straight into the new series, how great is that?

Roxie - is SlimSculpt a new one? I don't recognise that.

Mary - I bet you're counting down the days. When do you go to Vegas?

So here are some pics of the bedroom, we don't have carpet yet. We haven't chosen it! So we're going to move back in till we order the carpet. Then it's curtains and we're done. Hope should have everything done by Christmas.
Got a workout out in, decided to go for it and did CF. A sweatfest but I felt accomplished.
 
Too cold to do anything but stay in bed and read. Also got biopsy done above my lip and several (I lost count) spots frozen on my forehead. Feeling I deserve a little down time!
 
Good Morning,

I did Split Session 2 legs and they were fried. I will do my planks. I applied for a job as a Pharmacy Techinican so keeping my fingers crossed. We felt another earthquake yesterday.

Ronne-Slim Scuplt is her new kettlebell workout just released. Good job on the workout.

Lisa-I agree its far to cold to do anything else.
 
Hello! Today did B&G, not the whole thing, but most of it. Ronne, I was thinking it was me that couldn't find the pics! I have tried to post pictures here, I can't for the life of me figure it out! Roxie, prayers for the job! Jody, I'm sure you are a working fool! Lisa, how are you feeling? Murphy, are you on the mend? Three more days of work! Tomorrow, then next Tuesday and Wednesday! Hope all is well with all! Mary
 
Hello

Lisa - was this something you'd spotted or had it been picked up in a check-up? It's not cold at all here. We're getting tons of rain (although it's beautiful at the moment), but it's so mild. I'm sat at my desk with the window open!

Roxie - good luck with the job application!

Mary - congrats on even attempting B&G. That has such a dread factor for me.

Did Flextrain today. Getting better at it, though I did skip the second round of triceps dips and push ups.
I'm off to the tennis tomorrow, going to see one of the semis of the ATP Tour Finals in London. Then we're going for some food and a little light shopping!
DD's got a gym comp on Sunday.
We're going to move back into our bedroom tonight. Hurrah!
 
I did 60 min of spinning, 429 calories, hopefully that makes up for my lazy (less than 3000 steps) day yesterday!

Ronne, I had spotted the one they biopsied, hoping I'm just paranoid now. They found more precancerous ones that they froze off than I even knew I had! The precancerous ones can be frozen off, if they aren't they turn into squameous cell (I've only had one of those), the most common ones I've had are basal cell, and the only way to get rid of them is by cutting, obviously the sooner the better. They are going to give me a cream you use for 3 days that help take care of the precancerous ones even before they can be spotted and frozen off. It will be nice to be in your own bed again I am sure!

Roxie, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Mary, wow, time flies, seems like you just went back to work. How's the tooth?
 
Good Morning,

Still fighting a cold my nose won't stop running. I didn't get a workout in yesterday worked at the school and you could tell the weather is changing they were whiny, mean and not paying attention. I did KCM's TLC Quick Blend Conditioning & Boxing then StudioSweat Part 1 on the spin bike. The clips look great but there is alot I wouldn't do so glad I cancelled.
 
Hello! Today did MMA boxing, yesterday BS, CB&S. Ronne, how's the new bedroom? Did you get a new mattress? I would love one of those temperpedic beds! Roxie, hope you feel better quickly. Lisa, glad they could get you in quickly and take care of things! Jody, you still working? Murphy, are you feeling better? Cold, snowing here, I wasn't ready! Lol! Two more days of work! I can feel it now! Tooth feeling better, antibiotics are doing their job! Hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Hi all,
Im in the middle of what has turned into a 5 or 6 day run. It's messing up my rotation flow! I'm missing some beautiful weather for jogging. Ronne I wish I could see the pics. Mary, will you be done till January? Roxie I hope u feel better, u too Murphy. Lisa, are you still watching biggest loser? Waves to all
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - good workout!

Roxie - hope you're feeling better.

Mary - No, we've kept our old bed and mattress. We bought a new mattress just a few years ago. Glad to hear you're tooth is feeling better.

Jody - how annoying when work gets in the way of workouts! ;)

Busy weekend. Enjoyed my day out in London on Saturday. The tennis was great, glad we didn't have tickets for the final (RF pulled out due to injury). Then we had a stroll round some very expensive shops (not buying anything) and some delicious Italian food.
I was shattered yesterday. DD had a gym comp. She went blank during her floor routine, there were some tears at the end ...
Ordered a new carpet and DH and I shifted some more furniture around, so that counted as my workout.
Did KCM YBB 2 today. I felt it.
 
Morning! Today did TB, took another rest day yesterday! What's happening? Just been feeling stressed and anxious lately, don't know why! Maybe when work is done it will all leave me! Ronne, so sorry about DD, I'm sure it was just as painful for you. Jody, be good to yourself! That's a lot of work! Lisa, how are you? Murphy, you better? Roxie, you must be busy! Well, have to go to the dentist to get filling for my first root canal, next root canal is next Monday! Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Morning,

I only did planks yesterday it was a lazy day. I did KCM KBX 2, KBX Standing Abs, and run/walk on the TM. I have cleaned the whole house and 2 loads of laundry. I got called for a job interview at 3 today so I will update later.

Mary-I understand the stress thing.

Ronne-so sorry for DD I remember when my girls did gymnastics.

Jody-I wish we had your weather.
