40's March Maddies

Good Afternoon,

I did KCM's Start Here Cardio only, Yoga from YBB and Cathe's TBS and my body appreciated it.

Lisa-as long as you don't use wtd. gloves it should be ok.
 
Good morning! Rest day yesterday, today did a Mike Donavanick DVD I got at half price books yesterday for. $1!!!! It was hard, but I liked it. Murphy, how are you? Just thinking of you. Roxie, you go a lot of workouts in! Lisa, glad to hear you are feeling better. Ronne, how are you? Feeling better? Jody, hello! Today cleaning, get my roots done and back to work tomorrow. Have a good day! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I was sent home from work this morning due to and unexpected snowstorm took me 90 minutes to go 60 miles and my driver side wiper came off so I had to stop and put it back on. I was going to switch back to Cathe's workouts but I just couldn't do that to KCM and I realized that I haven't gotten all the goody out of her workouts so I did Body Shop 1 and 35 minutes on the TM.
 
I channeled Mary and did clean-max today. I got a new steam mop, so got all the hardwood floors cleaned and the shower. I like the mop a lot, was much easier. I then did just a beginner, short pilates reformer w/o. My jaws and sides of neck hurt a lot last night (ended up on percocet and double muscle relaxer), I think I over did it on the reformer, I shouldn't have pushed some of the arm exercises on a whole spring, so I ordered the 1/2 spring. I think tonight is more drugs, good thing I had some leftover!

Roxie, what a freaky snowstorm! I think there is room for all the w/o's (just look at the variety Mary does). I do have to say I love that pilates reformer, and so does DH!

Mary, did you get your hair done? I really need to do mine, not because of grey, but because my natural red is just a bit washed out looking. I'm trying to just see how it goes with not coloring it to see if I adjust to it because I'm tired of coloring. My grandma (the one that had red hair), never really grayed, her red just kept going more and more washed out until it was white with a touch of red.

I hope I sleep better tonight, I guess the jaw pain I've been experiencing off and on is when I push a bit too much on teh arm exercises on the reformer. Who would have thought, I hope this is the last of it!
 
Hi everyone

Been feeling a bit crap so haven't checked in. I went to the doctor's yesterday. Good news is that there's nothing wrong, no throat/ear/chest infection, temp normal. Looks like I've caught something else straight after the cold/cough. My glands are swollen on my neck and my ears hurt, also got a few aches and pains and a temp. So I'm just taking some drugs, drinking fluid and trying to rest when I can. So no workouts for me, I know I'm not up to it. Haven't even done any yoga since Friday.

Lisa - we've got a steam mop for our ceramic floors. I love it, I clean the floor more frequently now it's not a hands and knees job!

Roxie - that sounds scary!

Mary - woo hoo for bargain workouts. Doesn't matter if you don't like it! still waiting for my Collage package to arrive. Hopefully, I'll be better and then I'll some good motivation!
 
I did KCM TLC w/o #1, boxing. Going for massage in a bit.

Ronne, that steam mop made 2 out of 3 tasks I hate (mopping and cleaning showers) easier. Now is there any secret to dusting???? Oh, just face it, I hate all cleaning tasks! But seriously any easier ways to dust? Sounds like you need to boost your immune system, rest and drink (water), hope you get better soon!
 
Just a quick note to say that I am okay. I have a drain under my arm where the lymph nodes were removed. It is a uncomfortable, but what part of cancer is comfortable? Anyway, I see the doctor on Thursday. Hopefully she will remove the stiches and drain and I can recover and then start radiation. Please keep the thoughts, prayers and hugs coming.

My massage lady is sooooo smart. I've been having a lot of jaw pain. She explained why. Now that the levator scapular isn't hurting ( that's the muscles on top of shoulder from neck to shoulder). Anyway, now that it isn't tightening, and pulling on the neck, the muscles above it in the neck and jaw are looser and now have to work on stabilizing those. My lower back still hurts right where your butt dimple is. We have to work in stretching it. The butt dimple is right where your quadratus laborium inserts to your pelvis. Hopefully once each of these ends of my spine muscles are fixed that's the end if this mess! Meanwhile, stretch the lower back and strengthen the neck

I've learned so much from her. When she pushed my butt dimple, man it hurt!

Murphy! Glad to hear from you! You have been through the worst, you are going to do amazing! Once the drain comes out, shouldn't be as annoying. Keeping you in my prayers, sending you good energy. Today did an Angie Miller w/o. Just mixing things up, I'll come back to Cathe! Ronne, that almost sounds like the flu? I hope you get better quickly! Roxie, your snow found its way here! Enjoy your day off tomorrow! Lisa, that massage lady sounds like a genius! It's amazing how she can figure all that out thru touch. Jody, hello! Not much here, again doing Chipoltle, DH was begging! I wore down, very easy! Have a good night! Mary
 
Good Evening,

I did KCM's Total Body Kickbox 1 tonite I have some DOMs from last nights workout.

Mary-no day off for me tomarrow boss man has a doctor appointment to see if he qualifies for a new heart valve.

Lisa-she sounds like a smart woman and I think I am going to switch to Cathe I just like the 30 minute workouts.

Murphy-glad to hear from you and I am still thinking about you.
 
Hi Ladies

Roxie - Enjoying the DOMS?

Mary - sounds like you're enjoying mixing up the workouts!

Lisa - you've found a treasure there! I haven't worked out a shortcut to dusting.

Murphy - sending lots of hugs and good thoughts. Hang in there!

I think I might finally be on the mend! Feeling a bit better today, still had some drugs this morning and my glands are still swollen. Even contemplating doing some exercise tomorrow. It won't be anything too demanding though.
Taking DD to the orthodontist this pm.
 
I woke up with a monster headache, thankfully rx migraine meds helped reduce it. I've had headaches for last few days, thinking maybe it's part allergies starting (trees are budding here), and part that jaw pain. I rubbed some rx cream (has flexeril, ibuprofen and couple other rx ingreadients) in my jaw, then noticed side neck was sore and back by skull. Hope this rx cream helps, I've had it for awhile, loved it at first (while going to PT), but then didn't feel it help. Anyways, I did do a 45 min reformer w/o. I'm loving that more and more. I feel worked (but not over worked), stretched and relaxed. They did a variation of mermaid, basically you just sit on a box and lean over....I couldn't do to my left, but my right was good. Now I'm thinking maybe my back pain to hip on right side might be because I'm over compensating on my stronger right side....so this mermaid will be good to do more on left to build up. So, stretch the ride, build up the left. I did take dogs for short stroll yesterday (1.25 miles) and DH and I will take them today too.

Ronne, glad you are feeling better! IF glands are still swollen, they still are fighting for you, so take it easy!

Roxie, I like the shorter w/o's too, I also love this reformer work. I never would have guessed I would like it as much as I do. Sure there are things I can't do, but I'm really feeling my rhomboids work and feel my posture gettign better. And some of the moves lets me know that my core can always use some work!
 
Hello! Today did the other Mike Donvanick w/o, liked that one too. Just compound moves with weights, cardio intervals, more weights (light) then abs, a lot done in 45 minutes. Murphy, tomorrow you get the drain out! Thinking of you! Lisa, hopefully you are feeling better. Is it sinus? Ronne, yay! You are on the mend! I hope you get your Collage order soon. I want to hear all you ordered! Roxie, sorry you missed your day off, but the extra money is nice. Hi Jody! We miss you! DH took the kids to an indoor amusement park, I'm all alone and loving it! Have a nice evening! Mary
 
Good Evening,

No workout for me I came home from work with a headache forgot allergy med this morning and the wind is blowing 40mph again today and it was raining so I am sure all of that caused the headache. I had a really creepy guy in today that kept telling me I was the hottest almost 50 year old he has ever seen he wanted to take my picture he stayed in the store for and hour before I finally got rid of him.

Mary-good job with your workout and sometimes the extra pay isn't worth it.

Lisa-hope your head feels better.
 
Hello

Roxie - that's horrible. Are you on your own in the shop?

Mary - ooh, some time to yourself. How nice. I bet you did some cleaning! :p

Lisa - it's so great that you've found something that you enjoy and aren't pining away for lack of Cathe workouts. You'd have never have done this without the surgery.

Well, I did a workout! First time for a week and a half. I did KCM's MD, the second one. That was enough for me. Felt OKish after. I woke up in the middle of the night coughing last night but was still determined to do something.
Just bagged myself a bargain, I've been sent some money off vouchers, and discount vouchers etc for a shop I use sometimes. I needed to order some new underwear for DD so I did that and ordered myself a new handbag for spring. Anyway, with all the discounts etc, I've ended up paying nothing for the underwear and saved £10 on the handbag!!
 
I walked 2.65 miles yesterday, did FT today, and walked 1.75 miles (in the wind). Headache got better, I think it's allergies (news is talking about it being that time) so taking 1/2 benadryl at night. Jaw feels better with the rx cream so I'll keep doing that. back is slowly getting better too. tired of stretching! I guess it's better to stretch than be in pain!

Ronne, glad you are feeling better, it sounded like a doozy. One nice thing about the pilates is that I don't have anything to measure myself against what I used to be able to do, so I feel I'm doing awesome! lol I never thought I'd like it so much, always compared it to yoga but it is much more than that. It's always great getting a deal!

Roxie, that guy sounds weird, how could he pretend to need to be in the store for an hr...I bet he didn't even try to pretend he needed something. I'd have been nervous if I was alone!

Mary, lucky you having time for yourself! So, are you cleaning? :)

Murphy, thinking of you! HOpe all is well.

Jody, yo!
 
Hi all! Today did physique 57, didn't feel like jumping around! Ronne, so glad you are on the mend. What a wretched virus! I love new purses! Lisa, spring is coming! Allergies arrive with it. Glad to hear you are better too! Roxie, do you keep your phone in your pocket? In case you have to call for help? He sounds creepy! Murphy, how did the appointment go? When do you start radiation? Hi Jody! You all know me so well! Of course I cleaned! They are going to the movies with my mom today, I'll catch up on some missed tv shows. Hope everyone has a good evening, Mary
 
Good Evening,

I did KCM TLC Boxing 1 and walked on the TM for 30 minutes this morning before work. Another windy day here today.

Ronne-yes I was alone they were gone yesterday thats why he wouldn't leave.

Lisa-he came in to pick up a knee brace we ordered but it wasn't the one he wanted so he couldn't decide if he wanted to take it home or have them order something else. Good job walking today sorry to share the wind.

Mary-I have my phone on me at all times I even let DH know what was going on. You can come clean my house anytime.
 
Hi all

Mary - enjoy a cleaning free day today!

Lisa - you're getting those workouts in.

One of those messed-up days where you don't achieve anything today. Internet was on the blink this morning, so spent some time trying to sort that out. Had a bitty work day, not able to concentrate. Then my red pen ran out (essential equipment for an editor!), thought I'd got a spare pack, turns out I've got two blue ones. Can't find another red pen in the whole house. So have decided that's a message to knock off early! Going to get a coffee instead.
Did premix 4 from LICh. Not too bad.
Going to a cheese and wine thing at DD's school this evening.
