40's April no fooling!

Lisa I though t sign up may first too. They just announced it.
Mary, have a hood day_ ok ill speak like a gangsta all day. : insert some old white lady trying to do gangsta speak:
Roxie, I also chuckled over"gotta plank"
Ronne, my dd has another week of school too. But she is house sitting this week so will be gone.
I can't believe it is almost over. I may walk with class, I think everyone is I don't want to be only one.
Las that is cool about reformer and your abs. We gotta make this road trip. Hope sign up isn't till May.
 
Hi all

Jody - if everyone else is going it might be fun. I'm pretty sure the sign up is 1st May.

Mary - I've got that app. I've watched a few but never actually done any!! I did enjoy Rumble (I remembered it's one of your favourites), I just thought it was quite easy for Amy Bento. Yes, and the background woman looks like she's making pastry rather than fighting!!

Lisa - ah, back to work, what joy for you! I don't think I've ever come across such a mismanaged organisation. Talk about not thinking ahead. Anyway, have fun with your new reformer!!

Roxie - have you planked yet?!!

Quiet day here. It's been raining a bit, but has finally stopped so I'll be able to get out and mow the grass this afternoon. It's a jungle!
Did Body Shop UB premix. I've got LB DOMs so wanted to avoid that area. I think it's a combination of my workout two days ago and the kicking yesterday. Worked new areas.
Doing the gymnastics run tonight. They're starting 30 mins earlier so I'm going to be hanging around for even longer :(.
 
Did the w/o that came with my reformer, really was more like how to do things on this reformer. It's good to have an easy day, my neck hurt last night, my head hurt (migraine), I felt awful. Wondering if too much computer work is making my neck hurt. The reformer is very slick, and very glidey so makes you work harder. I'm on a conf call right now and after thinking last night, if I don't get laid off, then once I make about the amount of money I would have gotten from unemployment, I just may quit. I am NOT enjoying this at all. Oh, and yea, I have to get fingerprints. Enough about work. I'm doing it half heartedly and calculating my escape from the madhouse.

Dropping the personals today, going to plan my exit, this is too crazy for me!

Quick planning, I'm going to drag my feet on fingerprints and doing any work, my exit plan is end of May. I've had it.

Hi everyone! Today did CF premix. Well, wrist definitely broken, knee just swollen and badly bruised. But DD will still be able to run, Dr. said "you don't run with your hands, do you?" So, DD very happy! Lisa, that place is messed up! Glad you made a good decision for yourself! No sense to make yourself crazy! Ronne, do you take a book to read while your waiting? I always keep one in my bag, just in case! Jody, you guys are all right! I must have read the dates wrong, NEXT Thursday! Sometimes I'm a moron. You have worked hard, you should do the walk! It's nog like it's the walk of shame! (Not that I've ever done that,). Haha! Roxie, are you planking everyday? Hi Murphy! Gotta get to wash! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I didn't workout this morning I had a stomachache all night and its been upset all day but I did do KCM TLC 2 Conditiong and Planks when I got home.

Mary-it rained today so know smoke thank god. I am doing planks everyday per KCM's instructions to get rid of the mommy tummy. Sounds like your kids need to heal.

Lisa-if I were you I would give it up.

Ronne-yes I planked.
 
Hi all

Roxie - hope you're feeling better.

Mary - well, that's good news for DD (and for you). Is it her writing hand? Will she be able to get out of homework?! Yes, I usually have a book or the newspaper. Yesterday I had the iPad and watched a TV programme! Still a long time to fill though.

Lisa - :confused: for bad day. Sounds like you've made a good plan. And don't get sucked back in again!!

Hi Jody and Murphy if you're lurking.

Did Mindy again, the other 3 10 min segments I didn't do last time. Really tough, think I might cut back to just 1 or 2 next time.
Quiet working day so I'm going to knock off early and watch something on the recorder.
Quietish weekend, nothing tomorrow but friends coming for lunch on Sunday. I'm baking. Have a good one everyone.
 
Good Evening,

I did planks at work today but nothing else it was a rest day on KCM's rotation so took advantage of it. We are expecting severe weather all weekend so glad we are going to DD's tomarrow she has a basement.

Lisa-that company is messed up.
 
Good morning! Today did the Brooklyn bridge w/o, yesterday was FT. Lisa, holy cow! I don't understand that company at all! I'm glad in worked out for you tho. Enjoy! Roxie, take snacks to the basement! Hope it's just rain and nothing else! Ronne, what are you baking? It's usually something good! Yes, it was her writing arm, her bad hand writing is now terrible! Jody, your last week! You'll be doing the happy dance with Lisa! Hi Murphy! Today just cleaning, paperwork for school, (the end is near!). Hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
I never officially checked in yesterday, I was blah all morning and once I heard of the lay off, it's like a weight was lifted. I took the dogs for a 2.5 miles walk, I did about 80 min on the reformer (50 a w/o, 30 learning the other new things it does). I was pooped, and when I saw the dog laying in bed, I thought, good idea! Today I did LIC cardio but stopped 1/2way thru 4th combo, I was hot, I think it's humid here and muggy (don't laugh Jody, you'd probably think it wasn't). I have ANOTHER headache, we are getting weather systems thru, not much for us except pressure changes, when it gets to Roxie's area then it's bad. I'm really liking my new reformer, I feel more secure in it overall. Like rolling back into the well from the box(I only do a couple of these because of the neck issues). I'm feeling my rhomboids differently from doing pullups on it. It's neat and so glad I now have more time to play wiht it, just wish my body had more energy :)

Roxie, stay safe with the weather! I think some of my mommy tummy is lose skin :( I have a slight umbilical hernia from pregnancy, dr says since it doesn't hurt to leave it alone.

Mary, how long for DD to be in a cast? Same thing happened to older DS in college, he could do his PE class (rock climbing) and then had to settle for YOGA after it healed , hahaha!

Ronne, I love quiet weekends! Last weekend we watched Captain Phillips (loved it, love Tom Hanks), this weekend I'm dog sitting while DS finishes last minute senior stuff in preparation for his college graduation summa cum lauda. His dog is so active, so like the typical grandma I'm plying him with treats since I can't get him to nap :)

DH goes to Dallas next week. Weather is going to be so-so, 50's and rainy, I have to find a way to get my laptop back to work, worst case I'll drive out there, so glad this is over! My manager felt really bad (little did she know I was head over heels happy), the upper mgmt who knows nothing making the cuts because 2nd qtr is going to be really bad. I'm going to consider myself officially retired!
 
I did kcm weights both workouts today. Lower back hurting, I must be sucking in my stomach while I was grocery shopping. It does feel better when I consciously let it go, seems counter intuitive but my massage lady had been right about everything else so I have to believe her

Good Evening,

Yesterday I did KCM Circuit Burn Conditioning, CK25 Wk1 D2 then my planks. We didn't get any bad weather and had a really good time with GS and both our DDs. Today I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and my planks. The bad weather hit this morning around 4 and quit about 10.
 
Hi everyone

Roxie - glad you had a nice time.

Lisa - congrats on your retirement! :p Don't go back!!!! I loved that film - it was so tense. I took DD to see it (she was still only 12), she said she'd never let me take her to the cinema again. She was terrified!!

Mary - will she get any help at school with note taking, or a laptop or something? I made the white chocolate and raspberry cake I made before. It was even better!

Had a nice day with friends yesterday. Drank wine, chatted and ate. Good to catch up. She's my Wimbledon buddy and she's managed to get two tickets for the first day so we can go again after missing out last year.
Got some yoga in on Saturday, a challenging hour long session. Will probably do either yoga or weights today, haven't decided yet.
 
Good morning! Today did XT legs. Ronne, so glad you got tickets! Will you be at center court? DD is doing fine, just messy writing. The doctor told us it's this small bone in the wrist that if it doesn't heal correctly it can become necrotic and affect all the other bones. Crazy! Roxie, glad you are safe! What a disaster. Lisa, how are you feeling? Are you so psyched to not be working!? Jody, you are in the homestretch! Hello Murphy! Not much today, enjoying the quiet right now. I do get to get my roots done later, have a great day, Mary
 
Good Morning,

Did KCM Total Body Kickboxing 1 then the Kickmix from Kickboxing and I will do my planks and some other abs when I get home.
 
Did 30 min of jumping. Going to drive my laptop in and meet my friend for lunch. Funny how they pay for my time to GET the laptop but not return it. Glad I'm gone.

Ronne, your weekends always sound so exciting.

Mary, wash that grey right outta your hair! sung to commercial tune
 
Hello

Lisa - lunch with a friend is always good. Is sushi on the menu?

Mary - I'm planning to do XT Legs later in the week. No, it's court 3 which I've never been on but with it being the first day we'll still see some big names. It's scary isn't it? You just think oh it's a little break, but there are so many things that could go wrong!

Did XT Bis and Tris yesterday, was quite pleased as I kept up with most of the weights I was using by the end of the rotation last year.
Today, did two 10 min segments of Intensity Overload and Core 2 from Xtrain.
 
Hi all. Just a quick pop-in to say I am still here. I have been exercising, but not using any weights. It can get boring but I do feel better doing something. I am in physical therapy to increase my range of motion. They don't want me using weights for now. I am also getting radiation right now, 6 weeks to go. All in all, I am doing well.

Ronne - what movie are you talking about?
Lisa - enjoy retirment.
Mary - I hope things work out with DD.
Waves to all.

Murphy
 
I tried to do a new reformer w/o, but it was a real SLOW one (more like boring stretching), plus my neck is all twerked from trying to look at the TV to see it in my small setup, AND I don't have enough room on the sides to do some things (interesting slow stretches). Then a headache decided to set in, so I called it done. It's sooooo windy here (guess that's better than the tornadoes others are seeing), so not going anywhere and decided to finally do DUSTMAX. YUCK! I hate that workout! Suki decided it was fun for her though as she tried to grab the swiffer duster (and succeeded). Tomorrow, I HAVE to do vacuum and mop max. Wow, have I turned into the domestic goddess or what? Found out from DS25, his house is delayed until late Dec, or Jan. Having expansive soil problems (very common here), so they have to do some excavating then re-compaction of the soil, better than a cracking or sinking foundation! But I'm ready to have my big w/o area back! I need a better setup for my reformer, so still thinking HOW can I do it, or WHERE can I put it? Yea, too much time on my hands? Lovin' it, would love it more if I could take a nice walk outside but I'd be blown to Roxie's house!

Murphy, so good to hear from you, do what the PT say! I'm finally up to BEGINNER weights on KCM (ie 7lbs for heavys and 5 lbs for lights), but you know what, IT'S OK! I'm enjoying not killing myself, maybe with age comes wisdom......hummmmmm

Ronne, No sushi this time (DH and I have been to sushi quite a bit ourselves....loving our alone time when we get it). We had creole, um, had red beans and rice with sausage, and it talked back to me by the time I got home. My stomach can't handle the spices anymore (thanks Mom). :)

Mary, I'd say you'd be so proud of me and my housecleaning, but I know better, I'm just making it bearable for a while......Mid-may, house gets turned upside down again and DS22 moves from apartment to our garage, then May 30th they pack up his stuff for Kansas (can take 2 to 17 days to get there), they said they'd give us 24 hr notice so we can drive out there for them to unload and us (or DS) not having to sit in a bare house waiting.

ETA : walked dogs 1.25 miles
