40's August how I love thee

3.15 mile walk! PT later today, will see what muscles she decides to attack. my traps on top between neck/shoulder are sore, I think from all the head turns and side to sides during my walk (I'm sure I look like a dork, but not near as bad as the lady doing walking lunges with bad form). Anyway I think that got those muscles sore so then for rest of walk, concentrated on pulling shoulders down (always trying to keep them back, but they like to creep up to my ears---I think there are magnets in my ears and shoulders that attract each other :) )

Ronne, nice to see you, glad you are enjoying your trip. You've now gone to places most of us haven't! You ole Aussie you.

Roxie, that sounds horrible, what kind of pain killers? My sis (the irritating one) actually said to me last night "I saw the picture on FB where you posted your haircut and drinking wine and mixed drink. Aren't you still on drugs and shouldn't be drinking?-said very meanly. I said, since when are you my mother! And no I'm not on drugs anymore even though you don't need to know that.

Jody, I think in future instead of rushing with Cathe I want to concentrate on form more. Most of the time I'm good but on those rushing ones, not so much. And band work and shoulders I probabaly had those magnets working to raise my shoulders.

Mary, I'm loving our cooler weather. toooooo humid! 94% UGH
 
Lisa-the endodontist didn't give me anything just told me to take ibuprofen 800mg every 6 hours. DH has hydrocodone left over from his work. I took 600 at 4:00 and then just a few minutes ago. I don't mind the cooler weather just tired of the rain.
 
Hello! Today did CSS! So humid here, I was drenched. Roxie, those first couple days after a root canal are painful. Hope the pills are helping. Sorry about the rain, we have it too. I'm tired of it. Ronne! We miss you! So glad you are having fun! Enjoy yourselves! Jody, I think I might start meso 2 on Monday. I go back to work in a couple weeks, I'm not going to have as much time for long workouts. My area looks like it threw up weights and bands after I'm done! Lisa, good walk! You are really progressing quickly! Sorry about sister, like any of need a critic. Hi Murphy! Have to go start my running around, band, cross country, one is going to dinner, the other a party. The twins turn 15 tomorrow, I need to shop! I better get moving! Mary
 
Hey it's easier to post a screenshot of my facebook status for those not on Facebook instead of retyping it all

Ronne, I just learned about Hearst Castle a few semesters ago in Art Appreciation, that is cool that you got to visit! And funny, you managed to find a castle here in US. We don't have many!
Roxie, I vote to take a day or two off after having the root canal. Darn the storms waking you up at night. Do you worry about tornadoes every time it storms? I would.
Lisa, I feel my neck and head compress when I do some impact stuff on the step- thought of you today. Good job on the progress w/ you therapy.
Mary, 15 years old x 2. Wow- that is pretty close to 18, graduation and college. Enjoy your time w/ them as chauffeur and mom extraordinaire while you have the opportunity.
Hi Murphy!
I did TTM today but ate pizza and enough brownies to negate any positive effects. STS tomorrow. I don't want to take any more breaks either unless if feels like I should.
 
Good Morning,

I had to get up and take one of DH's pain pills that area of my mouth is so sore think I was clenching my jaws together again. Weather alert woke me up some places are getting heavy rain again 2-4" in and hour. We are running out of lake time and this weather needs to clear up. I am going to attempt that crossfit workout but waiting for pain to calm down.

Jody-living in Kansas I always fear tornadoes especially since I don't have a basement.
 
Did disc 11 today. I am off schedule. I went up in some areas and too lazy to go up in others.

Roxie - good luck w/ the recovery. Root canals suck.
Lisa - good luck w/ your recovery too and DS.
Mary - Happy B'day to the twins. I tend to put CSS to the bottom of the pile. I just cannot do it like I used to.
Jody - pizza and brownies are health foods - milk, eggs, meat and veggies (if you put some on your pizza), a little oil... :)

Murphy
 
SSDD.... 2.63 miles walked, pt exercise will do later with some of my really easy abs and lb stretch

Roxie, hope you get to feeling better, that sounds miserable.

Hi girls! Today did MMA KB. Lisa, good walk! Roxie, hope you are on the mend. Murphy, are you going to join us doing meso 2? Jody, I want time to slow down, it's flying by and we only have 3 more years til we send them out to the world! I want more time!!! Haha! Did another cross country cook out, we have band show tonite, initiations, etc. No birthday celebrations today. DH is at station tomorrow, Cedar Point on Sunday, so we will celebrate on Monday after band practice. School starts a week from Wednesday! Time is running. Ok, I'm done! Have a Good Friday! Mary
 
Good Morning,

I managed to walk on the TM this morning and later I want to do KCM's Circuit Burn. Mouth is ok as long as I take ibuprofen every 6 hours. The sun is shining and we wanted to go to the lake but the boat has decided to let us down it won't start.
 
Hello! Today did XT legs. Roxie, sorry about boat. I hope it's something simple, like it needs gas? Lisa, how are you feeling? So glad about the therapist report. Do you see the surgeon again soon? Murphy, what did you decide about STS? Jody, did you finish meso 1? Ronne, Hello out there! Today cleaning and pool. Kids all made it home safe. DS said he "got a full night's sleep", went to bed at 5, I picked him up at 8:30! Needless to say he is napping! Hope everyone has a great weekend, rest day tomorrow, we are going to Cedar Point. See you all on Monday! Mary
 
Mary i hope you all have a great day and safe travels to CP tomorrow. And I hope ds recovers from that full night sleep! Was the bd today or tomorrow? I forget.

Roxie so sorry to hear about the boat, hopefully hubs can trouble shoot and fix it up. Have you guys got any tubes to pull behind? That sounds fun to me.

Lisa, good job on the walk and pt. SSDD, I hear ya.

Murphy, I did 11 just now and have to back track and get 10 then I can start M2- I did 12 earlier this week. Overall I've liked this mesocycle but I normally wouldn't spend an hour on two body parts. Its good than I am just doing it not picking it apart. Also, I'm really happy to have started using the STS discs and will willingly consider them individually now whereas before it didn't seem right to just pull out one as a stand alone.

So like I said I did back and tri disc 11 just now. I picked up some tennis rackets and balls today, too so hopefully dd will give that a go w/ me this weekend. Also I've been decluttering and rearranging, dontating to freecycle or wherever I can rehome stuff.
 
Good Evening,

Thought I would report the motor on the boat had collected dew so once it dried out we were good to go and it was a beautiful day for it. DH skiied again today and that mirror is awesome.

Jody-we bought a tube a couple of weeks ago Bass Pro Shop had them on sale. I am not a big fan but if the kids come down they have something to do.
 
Rest day no pt no walk but I did foam roll twice to get out the kinks. I think problem is I tried flexirel during day instead of valiuum. Valium works much better. Went out to celebrate 49. Got a little too many martinis but had a blast with the kids.

Mary,please come clean for me! NS on 19th.

Jody, I tried to deck clutter some so cleaning lady can clean easier&better Tues

Good Morning,

Horrible night last night I didn't take any ibuprofen before bed I was uncomfortable all night and instead of getting up to take something I decided to just suffer. We are headed to the lake again today.

Lisa-Happy Birthday.
 
Roxie, sorry about your headache and crappy night but I hope you have fun today at lake, nap in the sun will help everything.

Lisa, I'm still trying to downsize from previous family home and lifestyle. I could use a cleaning lady this week too but I think I will only have my own usual cleaning crew. Oops, and Happy Birthday!!

Mary, you don't ride the big ones, do you? I like Millenium and that one that goes out by the lake. Have fun with the kiddos, hope it is nice weather for you.

I did the last of M1 so 1/3 of the STS rotation is complete. Looking at M2- I am considering chunking it into a body part per day. 65 min of wt work that may take me 90 minutes to complete is not appealing. Its really cool how I can be much more flexible with these discs than I thought.
Waves to Murphy and Cali Ronne

DD and I lobbed the tennis ball back and forth for awhile this eve, it was fun.

2 mile walk, Pt, Yoga relax being careful not to you my traps too much

Roxy, my birthday is actually on Wednesday we just happened to celebrate on Saturday


Jodi, I love meso2 cause I could work one body part of the day
 
Hi girls! Today did disc 13. What a genius idea to split it up to one body part a day! Why have I never thought of that!? Today was 65 minutes, chest only was 27 minutes. Thank you for the thought. Roxie, how's your mouth? I hope it's getting better. Lisa, for your birthday I will come clean! So glad you are starting the celebration! Jody, I didn't go on Milenium, line was 2 hours! I did do mean streak, iron dragon. The kids sat in the first seat of Top Thrill Dragster. I loved watching everyone's faces! Some were so happy and excited, others were crying and hyperventilating! I don't know why they went on it! Hi to Murphy & Ronne! Birthday lunch today, hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Good Morning,

I did trainers week 7 workout 1 which was kettlebells then I walked on the TM for 30 mins. It rained for 3 hours straight this morning and some of them had some pretty good lightening and thunder. I only did 4 rounds instead of 5 and only 3 on the Turkish Getups they didn't feel right. I can feel it in my back on the left side.

Kettlebells:
Turkish Getups 8 each arm used 8lb bell.
Squats 30 reps holding 8lb bell.
Kettlebell Swings 30 reps 8lb
Squat with Upright Row 20 reps 8lb
Repeat 5 times.

Mary-I called the endo this morning because I can't sleep at night and there is a cancer sore on the back side they said I probably have a bruised ligament because my bite is off so I have and appt to get it worked on and he gave me a prescription for antibiotic and pain med for night.

Lisa-my oldest DD turns 28 tomarrow where has the time gone.

Jody-I didn't nap yesterday but I did Saturday the sun made it easy to sleep.
 
2.8 miles walk, I must go really slow my neighbor just blew by me without even saying hi. My rate is about 2.7 miles per hour which I figure it's good for someone just out of surgery 10 weeks ago. PT later today I get my assessment today to take to the doctor next Monday.

Roxy, I hope you find some pain relief believe me I know it's miserable!

Mary my cleaning lady comes tomorrow the day before my birthday. I'm slowly getting things picked up that accumulated over the course of my recovery. I just feel like turtles Lisa lately
