Who cares - June

Hi all. I did not see a thread so I started one. I accidentally started the June rotation - I just happened to do the first few June dvd's at the end of May. So, that's what I am doing. I am trying to stay focused and not half-ass any of the workouts. I feel beat - which is good. :)

Waves to all!

June?? How did that happen?? Time is running! Today did a Julia workout, yesterday went to the gym. Murphy, I will have to give the rotation a look. Jody, hope DD is having an amazing time! Lisa, everything does happen for a reason! I'm so glad it has all worked out. Ronne, how are you all doing? Roxie, first day? Hope it went well. Tracey, how are you? Have to get into shower, good day to all! Mary
 
Happy June! Murphy, good way to pick a rotation! I'm feeling beat too! Jody, have a good time off (I think that's what I remember from previous thread), I'm losing my brain! Mary, it always seems to go from very chilly to hot, no in between. It's my oldest DS birthday today, 28! Roxie are you all settled in? Ronne, getting things sorted?

Last few workouts was tues-xt CBS, wed-short 15 mile ride, thur(today) XT bi/tri. I'm so beat I'm thinking relaxing and trying to finish my book sounds good!

Good Afternoon,

Orientation today an it sucks I should be at home finishing my packing an loading a trailer
 
Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Today did a Julia workout, yesterday I did Thursday's Cathe live. I'm so excited, I got a new iPad and I LOVE it! What's everyone up to? Going to the pool today, need a little color and a good excuse to read. Enjoy! Mary
 
Hi fit babes! I had a very productive long weekend and taskmaster DH continues to be productive while I need a break! He's carpet cleaning as I type!

Mary, I love roller coasters! I usually have to go on them by myself though, no one else will join me! Hope you get some good reading done at the pool.

Hi Murphy! Thank you for starting the June thread! Good luck on your new weight loss challenge. I will have to check out the June rotation.

That's is great that your foot and ankle are better Lisa!! I hope the weather cooperates for your trip to SD. DH and I take vacations every April. Not that we plan to do that, we just need it by then! We usually go south to get sun. This year we were hoping for a road trip to central Oregon but the weather wasn't going to be any different than ours. So DH suggested Vegas and I got tickets before he could change his mind! And how wonderful you found good friends in your neighbors who like to ride! That is such a blessing. How many of us click with other couples like you did?

Hi Roxie! Hope you've been able to use your time the way you want to this weekend. Glad you found a place too!

Jody, I'm so sorry you hate your weight. :( I hated mine for a good 10 years or more but never had the energy or motivation to do anything about it other than cut things out of my diet now and then to see if it would help. Even seeing photos from the Daytona road trip I was on with you and Lisa didn't do it for me even though I was appalled by them. The following Feb. I knew I needed to do something because my eating was getting worse and worse. But what? A friend introduced me to the 21 Day Fix Extreme plan by Beachbody. It actually worked for me but I had to mentally prepare myself before I started it. I'll shut up now. If you want to know anymore, just let me know.

Workouts this week, hmm, I know I did some! High Step Challenge Timesaver, Supercuts, Gym Style upper body timesavers and finally tackled the outdoor stairs in town. 87 steps, did 15 flights 'cause I gotta get ready for the annual stair climb in August that really is the worst! It's at a high school stadium built before regulations. So, there are no handrails and the steps are much taller. Not a problem if you're tall but I'm only 4'11 and a 1/2! Took BB out a couple of times too.

Have a great weekend sweet babes! BB is sleeping off his morning on the porch while I type. It's cloudy but not raining so I'm a happy girl!
 
I just looked at the June rotation and I really like it. Then I remembered that I'm not going to be able to work out 3 days next week because of work, I'm scheduled for jury duty the following week (grrr!) and the week after that, I'm likely going to be out of town for work again. I won't be summer kickoff ready! :eek:
 
Tracy, thanks for the feedback. Its my sugar habit/binges that need curtailing. They don't fit into any plans. I have the 21DF stuff as well. I like your workouts from last week. Well done on the stairs. Roxie, I hope you guys got moved this weekend. Mary, will you use your ipad for workouts? It sounds like you are happy with it! I have a little Amazon Fire I use once in a while. Did you get enough sun? Lisa, uh oh, our kids are getting older too? wth! I just finished A Gentleman in Moscow via audible, I loved it. Prior to that was Water for Elephants, also good, also on Audible. Murphy, good luck w/ rotation. I'm all about half assing them these days. Hi Ronne! You busy working? I hope you've had a nice weekend. My focus this week is cleaning up my eating, simple short workouts and doing meditation everyday ala Oprah/Chopra (Grace through gratitude is my choice). To that end I have a fridge full of green stuff and have been doing wt workout segments from PH/MIS/BM. I also did a cardio/warm up from here -> Pungra Bhangra workouts on youtube, which I enjoyed but I have lost all ability to dance. I found that channel via VF. Its been raining a lot this weekend and the threat of storms lightning kept me from going out for a paddle in kayak w/ dd. But we did go see Wonder Woman last night and it was awesome! : )
OMG update on younger dd, she's at Krugar Natl Park. Our communication is pretty sketchy. But I get occasional messages and pics. Unfortunately I think its $$$$. She got a text from sprint that her data in Joburg was free but from my calcs she may be up to 200$ so far 3 days into the plan.
sorry didn't mean to embed the video!

Quick post.... Rode 27 miles with neighbor Fri, DH and I were exhausted sat and vegged out (him from traveling), sun DH and I took quick rise of 15 to get Suki out. She loves when DH takes her! Mary, it got very hot here, I could have used a pool! Jody, I'm being so bad with sugar I need to turn that around. I swear my body shaped changed after meno, boo! Does dad know it's charging her even though it said free? If she did she might be more frugal? Roxie, all settled yet? Tracy, that stair climb sounds intense! Ronne, where are you? Murphy, how's rotation going?

So my neighbor totally drank the kool-aid. She just bought a new bike! I really tried to enforce not buying the entry model so what did she do? She bought top of the line, a step up from mine! She's so happy! So now she has no excuse to be slower than me, she might even show me up! It'll be an interesting ride tomorrow and with the heat I'll be in a pool..... Of sweat!

Hi everyone

I'm here! Just mad busy with work and other stuff and I just haven't had the energy to post.

Murphy - thanks for getting us started. LOL to the accidental rotation. I'll have to have a look at that one.

Mary - are you on holiday somewhere or just hanging out at theme parks/pools at home? Sounds like you're having nice weather wherever you are.

Roxie - hope all is going smoothly.

Jody - I was feeling like I was piling it on a bit so I've cut out food between meals and it seems to be working for me. I found myself reaching for food everyday around 3 whether I was hungry or not and I've just stopped it. If I really need something, I have a coffee or some water or something. It was hard going the first couple of weeks but I've got used to it now. I'd just fallen into bad habits without really noticing.

Tracey - your posts always make me smile! Is the stair climb a fundraiser? I can't imagine any other reason to do it!! You've been getting a good range of workouts in.

Lisa - I love that you've inducted your neighbour into your cycling cult (and her DH!). That is brilliant. I can imagine you're going to get all technical, talking about gears and ratios and all sorts of stuff I know nothing about.

We've been having some good weather here as well, although it's turned this week. I didn't get many workouts in last week for various reasons but I think the rest is always good, I've been pretty consistent for a while. DD is in last two weeks of exams, touch wood, going OK. I met up with some uni friends at the weekend which was great. We found a nice place to eat and just parked ourselves there for 5 hours while we talked, ate and drank. I bet they thought we were never going to leave!
Yesterday I did S&S Bootcamp for only the second time, had to take a little breather at one point. Today was KCM YBB premix.
 
Hi all. I was all set to work out but then DD and then next thing I knew, my time was cut in half. So, I wrote my indoor bike for 30 minutes and will adjust the rotation.

Ronne - I with you on the stairs, if it's a fundraiser maybe if not...
Tracey - so, are the stairs a fundraiser? Much respect either way because I couldn't do it.
Lisa - how did it go w/ neighbor and her new bike?
Mary - how's the Ipad working out?
Jody - I hope things get figured out with the charges
Roxie - I hope the move is going well.
 
Hello! Busy day here! Just did a quick Cathe live, short on time today.

Tracey, Stairs??? I don't care for those! Saw a girl at the gym the other day on the stair master, RUNNING! Front way, sideways, and backwards! My self esteem shrunk a lot that day.

Jody, I like/love sugar also. I imagine if I really ate the greens I would be where I want to be. I can only imagine the roaming charges your DD will have. It's worth to know they are safe tho.

Lisa, how fun to have friends that like you do the same things! We have one couple that we do stuff with, they don't like to workout as much as we do. That's ok tho, they make me laugh which is like exercise!

Murphy, how old are your kids now? I (can't believe that I'm saying this) miss their distracting me! Goes so fast.

Roxie, all moved in??

Ronnie, will DD be on break in 2 weeks? When will she find out results? Do you find out quickly or have to wait??

Have to get dinner going, talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I am all pooped out from moving but still have a lot left to unpack but we ran out room. I am not sure I am to to like my new job the people are rude. It got hot really fast Upper 80's almost 90 but humidity is horrible.
 
So who all has gotten a colonoscopy? Ronne are they routine recommended in UK for screening? I've had one ordered for years now and avoided it b/c of time and insurance concerns. Now I don't want to go b/c it would occur in the same location I work. EW! I'm working on goals and stuff and this stupid test has been on my list of things to do for years now.
DD has incurred no extra charges yet, but when she goes back to Swazi from S Africa, then her data is no longer included. So far so good. She sent me a video of elephants this morning, yesterday hyenas. Waves to all, I'll bbl w/ personals and perhaps a workout to report.
 
Hi girls! Today did a Cathe live. Lots of errands today, do get to get my roots done as my reward. Jody, I haven't had one done yet. I know it should be higher on my list. How exciting for DD to experience such wonders. I'm Jealous! Meant to tell you that we saw Wonder Woman this weekend too. We loved it! Roxie, maybe people we having a bad day? Hope it gets better. What's everyone else up to? Gotta get to the shower! Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Mary - no we have to wait for results till 23rd August. The exams are nationwide so take a while to mark... Well done on the workouts. I see there's a Cathe Live iOS app now, I'm getting closer!

Roxie - hope things get better.

Jody - wow, sounds like DD is having an amazing time. No, we don't have colonoscopies as routine here, thank god! Only if further investigation is needed of a problem.

Murphy - 30 mins is better than nothing!

Had a good working day today, really concentrating and getting stuff done. Got to go out to a meeting tonight (a residents/university thing) not particularly exciting. Did Cardio Slam premix (floor and step). I'm never doing the whole thing!
 
Ronne, LOL on CS comment! Best wishes on exams. Anytime I get together with my dance girls we stay hang out forever as well- although 5 hours? ha ha!

Roxie, like Mary said, maybe its just the stress of first day. Good luck w/ unpacking. Just thinking of it makes me want to declutter everything that I would have had to pack up.

Mary, I need a spa moment myself for a pedi and brows. I don't do it very often and so feel judged when I do, like I'm too much work since I don't do the preventive maintenance. I heard actress from WW was preg during filming! : O

Tracy, not related to anything recent, but I have been taking 25mg diphenhydramine as well as some TR melatonin 1.5 mg before bed same as you I think, and sleep really well, but didn't take for a few nights and find I woke up better and more energetic. Hmm? Do you still follow the 21DF food plan?

Murphy, is the rotation still working for you? Right now I wouldn't even consider a 6 day a week rotation of 40 min plus workouts. I guess that is why I don't even look at them.

Lisa, how many thousands of miles did you ride this week? LOL. Do you think there will be a competitive edge to your cycling now that neighbor upgraded her equipment? Remember, its the journey that counts!

Yesterday I did some UB from BM original. I like the look of some of the new FT workouts, so I'm glad I ordered even though I'm not going hard core on my workouts. Raining for days and now a little flooding here. I'm f/u w/ my mom's doc today for her thyroid. DD headed back to swazi.
 
Hi everyone

Jody - Not sure what f/u means?!!! I was looking at a rotation thread the other day (it might have been June) and someone said they were doing premixes which I thought sounded like a good idea. I'd find it hard to fit that many long workouts at the moment. How long is DD out there for? I looked at the trailer for one of the FT workouts, Bootcamp? It looked good.

Neck a bit stiff today so did gentle yoga for shoulders. Suddenly found a bit of quiet time so been into town, picked up birthday present for friend's son and treated myself to some new make-up and stuff, got an eyeshadow palette, nail varnish, lipstick and two brushes! And got a free gift of mini stuff as well. Then had a coffee and got my book out, bliss!
 
Hi all. Still with the rotation, moving along. We keep trying to get a family walk after dinner but somehow it never seems to happen???

Mary - my kids are 9 and 12. My 12 year old is going through the teenage years. This is going to be a long couple of years.
Roxie - I hope things get better.
Ronne - that quiet time sounded nice. If you find some more send it my way! :)
Jody - it does sound like your daughter is having a great time. I am so jealous of her.
Tracey - when is the stairs race/competition?
Lisa - how's the bike riding with the neighbor going?

Waves to all,
Murphy
 
Hi all! Went to the gym today. Youngest DS and I are going to Virginia tomorrow, will be back Sunday evening, long work day Monday, so I will see you all Tuesday. DD got her drivers license today,she's out there on the roads, so be careful!

Murphy, wow! They are growing up! I didn't think the teenage years were too bad. I really enjoy the people that they have become!

Jody, pregnant? She looked amazing! Give yourself a spa day! You work hard and long, you deserve it!

Ronne, august? That's a long time to wait! Fingers crossed!

Hello to Tracey, Lisa and Roxie!

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I'll see you next week! Mary
