40's hot in April

I could not think a funny title so I went for "we're in our 40's and hot".
Anyway, did all of CF, so proud of myself. I subbed two things but otherwise I went for it and it felt good. I am very tired now, but it feels good. I hope everyone got a good rest and are feeling good or at least better.

Murphy :)
 
Murphy, funny title, I'm hot in bed....uh, that's not how I mean it :) Seems every night I wake up sweaty. I'm sure Mary know why :) Hormones are the least of my worries right now. Went out yesterday to find DS21 an apartment, success, ah, one more worry off my plate. However, riding in a SUV over less than stellar roads got my neck starting up and must have pinched nerve too because my arm hurt, had to pop the pills last night. Mary, I've graduated to even taking percocet (only 1/2). You wouldn't think riding in car would do that, but again, my friend that went thru this had same experience, so I'm not going INSANE! Jody, I really need something to lift my spirits, yoga is not that, my granddog coming over today, going to take her for a nice, easy walk, then come back and snuggle, that should help improve my mood. Roxie, I love it when I just keep going and going and before you know it you've w/o for a couple hrs.....right now for me, the mind wants to but the body can't. Ronne, hope you got all your work done and Mary hope you didn't work too hard!
 
Good Morning,

I am going to do 135 squats today and yoga relax and hoping it warms up enough that I can go for a walk outside later but I am not holding my breath on that one.

Murphy-I think the title is funny because it doesn't want to warm up.

Lisa-sorry to hear your neck is bothering you again today.
 
Murphy, awesome job on CF, voot! Lisa, I hear ya, ok, cuddle with the pup! Roxie, my AC is running and we are in 80s I think, IDK. I did CLB, I might have gone a little light on wts but not too bad for first time thru.
Shower, then baby shower, byeee
 
I did end up going for a walk outside because there is a house here in town for sale that they want 26,000 dollars for and the sign has disappeared so we were curious as to why its so cheap, the pictures on line show water damage in the basement and some flooring missing but that can be fixed and according to the signs on the doors it was abandoned big fantasies happening here I also did 135 squats.

Jody-I am so jealous 57 degrees here with a nice south wind blowing.
 
Did XTrain C,B,&S. I went up a bit in weight. I think I may get 17 and 25 lb weights. I have 15 and 20 but the jump up is too high. I have the weighted gloves, but sometimes I just don't want to use them. I will have to think about it, I just don't have the money for an extra's right now. Maybe I will ask Santa.

Roxie- good job on the squats.
Lisa- I hope you are feeling better today. Glad you found an apt. for DS.
Jody - how was the shower.
Ronne - still working?
Mary - how was the working weekend?

Murphy
 
Hello ladies

Murphy - you're back on the exercise wagon, again. I won't say anything about health as I don't want to jinx you! :D Sometimes, it's a fiddle getting the weighted gloves on and off for different exercises, isn't it?

Roxie - do you like DIY?

Jody - CLB is one of my favourites. Well done for getting through without dying first time!!

Lisa - :D!! V funny! Glad you got your youngest sorted out!

Had a good weekend. Did AT on Sat morning, skipping the cardio step bit at the beginning. Then worked the rest of the day. Yesterday DD had her first trampolining comp and she did much better than she expected so very pleased for her. Then last night DH and I went out to see a band!! It was great to have a few drinks and listen to some great music.
Did GS BSB today. I managed 15lbs for all the concentration curls which is a first and down to Xtrain!
Work should ease off a bit this week, thank goodness!
 
Good Morning,

I will do KCMs Bootcamp and the Treadmill and I think throw in some abs just don't feel like they are getting worked enough.

Ronne-I don't like it but DH does he just redid the entire boat. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so it is worth looking at and the yard is nice. We are stuck in this house for 7 more months so we have time to work on it.

Jody-140 squats today.
 
Good morning! Weekend was long! My legs ached terrible from walking all day! I survived! One more! Haven't worked out yet today, just got home. My mom had to have out patient surgery this morning, so I was there. She's good, just some foot issues. Lisa, how are you feeling? When does DS and DIL move in? Roxie,good luck with the house. How many squats will you work up to? Jody, tomorrow is the last day of clinicals for a bit? Murphy, now you are going to make me pull out CF! Do you like TTM? I haven't done that one in a while. Ronne, sounds like a fun weekend! Have a few things to do around the house, then I will get my work out in. Have a good day! Mary
 
I did Bootcamp 1, 140 squats and 30 mins on the TM.

Mary-last day is 250 squats. There is and offer already pending on the house we waited to long. Glad to hear your mom is doing ok.
 
Did HR, felt good all things considering. Legs still sore from XT LEgs on sat. We did a bit of cleaning out/cutting flower beds sunday (beautiful day). I didn't do cutting (can't now), so I had to do picking up of trimmings, at one point I reached under the overhang of the house and there was some nasty looking stuff (brown/white fluffy)...thank goodness I was wearing gloves, DH said, that's dandelion fluffy bits, I didn't buy it, especially when I saw blood on the side of the house. Refused to pick it up, later DH said he thought it might have been leftovers of a dead bird. I can't believe he tried to fool me, I didn't fall for it though!

Mary, glad to hear you survived, tougher to do those type of shifts now a days! I bet you are tired! Glad to hear your Mom is ok. Not sure when the kids will be all moved in, they are slowly moving in stuff, at the latest they will move in may 11th.

Roxie, that IS a lot of squats!

Ronne, congrats on DD! It's nice when you can go out with DH and relax and enjoy! We went out for dinner last night and found a nice beer.

Murphy, I like pace weights, they are magnetic and come in 1/2 lb increments, I just stick them on the ends of my dumbbells. So much easier than gloves on/off.

Jody, Oh sure, rub in your weather! WE are supposed to get snow again today- 5 inches or so.
 
Hi everyone

Mary - so is that two 12 hour shifts on Sat and Sun?

Lisa - well done on the workouts. I've looked at Pace weights in the past, but they're so expensive that I've never bothered.

Roxie - shame about the house!

Did GS Legs today. Not done that one for a long time. It was good, (well you know what I mean!). Sun shining again here today. Yesterday the temp dropped again and we put the electric blanket on cos I insisted on not putting the heating on! Crazy!
 
Good Morning,

I will do KCM KBXing 2 plus the TM no squats today. We are having freezing rain and thunder today so not a pretty day.

Ronnie-we haven't shut the heat off yet.
 
I did LIC cardio timesaver today. Left arm feels very weak. Hoping for answers tomorrow! My bff has some of my neck symptoms (but opposite side), not nearly as bad as me, but she's waiting for my diagnosis :) I was doing some more reading about high impact activities that I may need to restrict. Downhill skiing was one...never really thought of it as high impact, but I do remember when I was 22 we were skiing and I had neck pain so bad I had to visit a chiro in the ski village. (that was my ONLY Positive chiro visit out of the 3 of my life). SO a lifetime of activities has led me to this current path.

Ronne, I think my body would go into shock if i did GS legs.

Roxie, snow here, but 70 by the weekend.

Good morning! DH let me sleep in this morning! What a gift! I did the firm aerobic interval something or other, not too bad. Lisa, I hope you get some answers tomorrow. Did DIL tell her mom yet where she will be living? Ronne, yes 12 hour shifts, I'm not used to being on my feet that long! I sound like such a baby! I'm dying to turn our furnace off, but mother nature won't let us! Roxie, you certainly got your groove back! Hi to Jody and Murphy! Have to make dinner for my parents, she's doing good, foot just hurts. Hope everyone has a good day! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I did my workouts and I remember now why I don't do the 2nd KBX workout its so confusing so I didn't get a really good workout so I did 40 minutes on the TM instead of 30.

Mary-summer is coming up so I need to kick up my workouts to look good in a bathing suit on the boat and in my shorts and tank tops.
 
Roxie, bummer about the house but its nice that you have some flexibility while looking. I think a guy who can fix stuff is pretty awesome, enjoy your man!
Mary, did you run food over to mom's? or have them to you? Lol, my mom wouldn't eat much that I cook, not enough butter, sugar, salt or white flour in it. Plus she loves to make faces and act like she's being poisoned if she has to eat anything natural or healthy.
Lisa, good luck at doc tomorrow. I thought you had some relief from your chiro, just no solutions? Or that was transient?
Ronne, maybe May will bring some warmer temps to you.
I did a little Zuzka this morning (20 min) and xt burn sets bi tri and core 1 this aft. I want to do a pistol...looks like shoot the duck. G nite all.
 
Hi Ladies

Jody - not sure what you're talking about at the end?!! :confused: You made me laugh about your cooking and your mum!

Roxie - that's another one I don't have!

Mary - you don't sound like a baby! That's a long time, I don't think I could do it. Is it just one more weekend of that? Glad your mum is OK.

Lisa - good luck with your appointment today.

Not sure if I'll get a workout in today. Going to the hairdressers which will probably eat up the workout time. Going to someone new cos my usual woman isn't available at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Oh no! I took the wrong pill this morning!

2 nights ago I pulled out a new bottle of my BP medicine, put it in same area as my old one. I think I finished the old BP one yesterday, so today, I opened the new bottle, a little puzzled why the pill was a bit different in shape (but very close), put it in my mouth then realized my error. IT WAS FLEXERIL! Damn generic names are about the same length (remember I can't read clearly without my glasses), same mg, close in color/size.

I hope I've built up an immunity to these and that I'm not so dizzy as last time. I was going to have lunch with my BFF. Instead I may be zonked out. Last time I took a whole one of these I was out for 4 days. I was not going to try to induce vomitting either.
 
Good morning! Today did all of AT, I can put that at the back of the pile for a time now. Lisa, you are going to be relaxed for your doctor's appointment! Haha! It is easy to get them mixed up, the generic names can be so long and similar to others. Let us know what he says. Ronne, I'm sure you will turn out beautiful! Sometimes it's good to get a different perspective. Jody, usually my mom doesn't care for my cooking, but she actually called last night and asked for the recipe! Made me happy. I just made swedish meatballs & noodles, thought she needed a little comfort food. What is a pistol? Sounds hard! Are you done being at the hospital for a bit? Roxie, you are focused, I bet you will look amazing in your bathing suit! Do you wear a 2 piece? Hi Murphy! Have errands, go see my mom, DD is supposed to have a track meet, but it is raining and chilly and frankly I don't really want to go and sit on those metal benches....but I will! Have a good day! Mary
