40's monthly thread until June 30th

Hi all! Today did SC. Jody, I totally forgot about Grease! I loved that movie too! Good luck with the case study. I use to actually like doing those, figuring out why everything is happening. Weird, I know! Lisa, I like the smell of liquid vitamins! So glad DH is home. Are you getting out at all? Roxie, is it another lake day? Murphy, are you getting hit with rain? Still gloomy here, it's getting a little old! We have a party tonite, maybe the sun will show up later? Have a good day, Mary
 
Solid food went well but sometimes rice didn't want to go down. Pudding pushers to the rescue, no amount of water will get it down need something thicker.

Jody, you posts always gives me a smile.

Mary, not ready to tackle riding in a car unless it's to the docs, that's Monday

I love those movies too, imagine my horror when making comment 'nobody puts baby in a corner' and having no one understand. Silly boys and too young of girls didn't get it

My dog is back to sticking to me like glue. :) funny how comforting that is

Lisa, does the dog follow you into the bathroom? Something wonderful about that, like they can't bear to be parted from you. lol to pudding pushers.

Mary, ikwym re case studies. I like big picture part of putting it all together but not the listing of details (all details related to every med pt is on, copying and transposing all chem, labs, vs, etc). Tedious! I hope you have fun at party.

I did more Step Heaven and the last two cycles of HST, abs from that Weider Xt I used to do (goodie) and also some work on my Turbo power tower squat rack thingy (pull ups and chin ups w/ feet on floor). Still raining, I'm having tea and doing school work. Sounds cozy if not fun.
 
Jody, yep she follows me to do my business. I close the door (have to have some privacy!) then there she is laying on the rug waiting for me by the shower. Funny how when my voice was weird sounding how she was confused and stayed away. They are so smart. I don't blame you about the tedious stuff.

I think I finally found a good reading my Kindle position, ah it's the little things that makes one happy.....

I'm really happy I'm able to taper off the percoset. I thought I might get addicted to it for awhile. Also finally feel the benefits of the muscles relaxer pills. I've come so far, yet still a long way to go.....
 
Good Evening,

Before we left for the lake I did KCM's Circuit Burn 1 and CK25 WK5 D1 alot of running involved in this wk.

Mary-its sunny and warm here but very windy we are expecting storms tonite.
 
I did a weenie version of STS TB ts single sets premix- and I skipped out of the last part of the legs and abs. I feel like I should get more workout in than I do but I'm always trying to negotiate down. Lately I'm believing the muscle/resistance training deserves the most emphasis but its not my fave to do for more than 40 min or so. This is the article http://www.t-nation.com/portal_includes/articles/2007/07-060-diet.html that supports my exercise philosophy du jour.

Lisa, good luck getting to doc tomorrow. Hubs taking you?
Roxie did you enjoy the boat? We had sunshine for awhile today.
Mary and all, nice weekend? I just want this semester off my plate. It is sucking up more weekend than it should!
 
Good Morning,

Today we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary so we are going to go out and eat. I will do KCM Total Body KB2, CK25 WK5 D2 and 80 squats. Workouts done and even though I didn't burn alot of calories I really liked this KCM workout and I didn't go heavier then 3lbs and I felt like I lifted heavy.

Jody-it was windy here yesterday afternoon so it made it rough to be on the lake but the sun was out and the weather was warm.

Lisa-hope you get good news at the dr today.

Hello! Sorry never made it here yesterday, I did work out tho! I did YM yesterday and R&C by Jari today. Lisa, going to the doctors today? Hope the car ride goes ok. Jody, how many more weeks of school? You really need a break, you have been going non stop for awhile. Roxie, 30 years! Congratulations! You two have been together, like almost 75 percent of your lives! Murphy, you out there? Ronne, how is your brother? Raining here again, cleaning today! Surprise! Have a good day! Mary
 
Mary-you are going to have to up that percentage because we dated 5 years before we got married because he had to wait for me to graduate high school we also grew up together.
 
Dr visit went good. Now fighting with pharmacy over robaxil refill. I swear they make you feel like a druggie. Now have to get dr to ok th earlier (by a day) refill. Pisses me off. Car ride tough until I remember to lay on headrest taking off and going uphill but lifting off headset at any bumps. You never realize how bumpy the roads are. Supposed to get bone stimulator, waiting for the call. In 4 weeks get xrays.

Happy 30 Roxie, wow!
 
Hi, wow that is a long time together, congrats to Roxie!
Lisa, ugh sounds like a miserable ride.
Mary, we didn't have any rain today for the first time in a while.
I did a 3 mile TKD walk/jog and some pistol practice. I mostly wanted to be out in the sunshine and it was too hot to sit in car anyway. I took two dance classes this eve.
Waves to Murphy and wonders if Ronne back yet.
ps did anyone else love google search today? Maurice Sendek, love.
 
Hi all! Today did a Tonique workout, she doesn't know how to count! Example, we will start out with 20 jumping jacks, 75 jumping jacks later, just 10 more!? Lisa, what is a bone stimulator? Will it help with the fusion? I never worked in orthopedics. Roxie, so you have been with your DH since you were 13? You found your true love early! Ronne, are you home yet? Murphy, hello!!! Going to the pool today, I see a little sun peeking out! Talk to you later! Mary
 
Hi all.

Well, I have not posted because I have not done much in the way of working out. I got up Saturday morning to exercise, go to the basement, and there is water down there. Those heavy rains got us, but not too badly. It was just enough to mess up the morning. The day ahead was jam packed so it made for a very long day. Most things were elevated so it was not too bad. It rained yesterday and it is supposed to rain for the next two days. We have not put anything back in the basement yet, waiting to see what happens with the rain. We are supposed to have company this time next week - let's see how that goes!

Murphy
 
I think I'm feeling a bit better. Not needing the percoset as much. I did get tight muscles in right shoulder from hold on in car. So bad right shoulder feels like muscles are clamping down on some nerves. Dil massage me but I bought a tens unit, hopefully will get here soon. Mary. The bone stimulator increases likelihood that all the vertebrae fuse together.
 
Mary-yes we started dating at the end of my 8th grade year he started hanging out with my brother and then it just blossomed from there. We really didn't like each other before we went out on our first date I asked him to the movies and it was on from there.
 
Hi Ladies

Yes, I'm back.

Lisa - glad to see you're weaning yourself off the drugs!

Roxie - congrats on 30 years! That's impressive!

Murphy - sorry to hear about your basement.

Mary - that does annoy me. I had a Tracey Staehle kickbox that I just gave up on cose she kept messing up the sides.

Jody - I'm with you on the weights. I went off them for a while and preferred to do more cardio but after Xtrain I got my enthusiasm for weights back.

I had a good visit with my brother. Things are a bit tough for him at the moment, as you can imagine. I played loads with my nephews as well which was great fun.
Just had to dash out and rescue my washing as it started raining! Damn this weather!
Did SM, straightforward, no thinking workout. I'm pretty tired today. My flight was delayed 3 hours (air traffic control strike). That made me miss my bus back so I had to get a later one. So from door to door, it took me 11 hours yesterday to get home! :mad:
 
Good Morning,

I did KCM's Stepboxing 1. We are headed to the lake today with youngest DD and her BF its suppose to be 90 here today but its also windy. The water temp is 70 degrees but I see us getting into it anyway due to the heat.

Ronne-I guess I missed what happened to your brother. Sounds like you had a stressful travel day.
 
Hmmm, well no workouts for me, I bet you all are surprised :)

Ronne, poo on delays! Sometimes travel is so much work. Send that rain here, we've started wildfire season and have 4 fires burning in the state right now, easily 100 homes lost.

Looks like the 40s are all busy bees with their life's. My company had layoffs yesterday for the employees, of the 10 employees in my dept(the other 40+ are contractor), 1was let go of the 10. That 1 wanted to leave so worked out for all
 
Hello

Lisa - you're very welcome to the rain! It seems like only a short while ago you still had snow!

Roxie - hope you had a nice time at the lake.

Did HR - the whole thing but the legs first premix. Prefer to get them out of the way! I found it tough, tougher than I remembered. I was out of breath and felt really rushed. It's been a while since I did an endurance workout. I guess it's good for my body!
Off to parents' evening tonight at school. Expecting to hear good things. DD's report was great.
