I did not see a thread so here I go.
Just "completed" AB - the single interval premix. I was too chicken to do the full program so I did the 1/2 hour program. OMG, that was a long 1/2 hour! I skipped the burpees, again. I really need to get it together and do the burpees - one day. ;-)

Waves to all.

Murphy

:eek:
 
Good Morning,

I plan on doing a stretch today to help my lower back. I went to bed with a headache and woke up with it. DH and I are going to take some chicken out to the kids later and enjoy some baby time.

Murphy-nice title, good job with your workout.
 
Hi girls! Today was YR. house is cleaned, going to friends house for dinner tonite. DH and I went out to dinner, a French restaurant, we had the best cheese plate ever! Roxie, hope you feel better. Did you get your baby fix? Murphy, I don't much care for burpees myself! Lisa, you home? You don't have to go to work tomorrow do you? Ronne, how did the dinner party go? Jody, what did you decide to do about your project? Hi to Penguin, have to get to the shower, Mary
 
I took a migraine pill before breakfast then I did the TM and TBS Stretching came up stairs and promptly threw up don't know if it was the medicine my headache or maybe a touch of flu which would suck because we were going out to see gs tonite.

Mary-I got my baby fix he was a crabby one but its never enough I love that little guy so much.
 
I'm baaaack! And happy to be home! Good trip but exhausting, maybe because we crammed so much in the 4 days. I hate flying too, I have even more appreciation for DH flying all the time! I am not a good traveler, I don't know how Ronne does it! I ate too much, spent too much, and I'm just wiped out, I feel better when I'm on my normal boring schedule, silly me. I tried to keep up with the checkins, I did read, just didn't post (hard from phone---I'm old, this new technology is hard for me---and this from someone in the industry!).

Roxie, it probably was the headache and drugs and activity that made you throw up. Hope you feel better.

Mary, I don't go back to work until Tuesday, and not looking forward to it either, I think I need a month to recooperate!

Murphy, I don't like burpees either, and Cathe does so many of them in these last few workouts.

Penguin, What did you decide with DH's job? How stressful!

Ronne, I bow to you Ms Hols queen. I'm the homebody of the group probably.

Jody, How's school going?
 
Pics from our trip is up if you aren't on Facebook.

A condensed version of the pictures from Niagara Falls---how many different ways can you photograph them? Enough to get a couple good shots and for me, over 350 pictures condensed to under 85. If you look at the pictures to the end, there are some pretty pictures of the Canadian countryside. The leaves were just starting to change but mostly pretty green still.

Hubby came home early with a stress headache on Sat but felt better after several hours sleep. since he has to go out of town tomorrow {his second off day} we had to do all the 'weekend' things and planning and errands for his trip today. So we are tired! I made chili and cornbread tonight as a treat for Hubby. Its supposed to rain all next week.

I think I"m going to do a body part a day + cardio this week.

Lisa, glad you are back. Thanks for posting all the pics and vids {I'm not on FB}. I'll have more time to look at them tomorrow. The only thing we can do is when Hubby gets back he has to start looking for another job. Its not like they are begging or even asking him to transfer or stay. We don't even have a specific date just 'sometime' before Dec.

Roxie, hope you feel better.

Murphy, burpees and I don't get along either. I usually end up trying to black out.
 
I've been short on workouts this week but did LIC cardio blast premix yesterday which was fun and surprisingly easy.

Peng, good luck on job stuff- its not to deal with that sort of thing.

Lisa, I'd love to post my Niagra pics from (oh crap 20 years ago?) when I went in Feb and it was all icy. I was so excited to see those black squirrels! Glad you had nice trip and time w/ dh.

Roxie, I hope your migraine resolved, too. I know you loved gs time.

Murphy, that AB pm is a good one, I don't feel guilty about a half hour workout anymore. I think of it as less wear and tear (burpees notwithstanding). Plus a lot of articles supporting short intense workouts as effective.

Ronne, you did w/o this weekend?? : D Sat Sun are my days I should never miss since I'm much more likely to miss during week.

Mary, how's work going so far this semester? I have a mouthful of stories about my class but I'm holding back.

I actually have Blurt-osis lately. I think it might be all the brain healthy supplements that have increased neural conduction from my mind to my mouth. Its happening everywhere I go, I'm either giving tmi to complete strangers or unsolicited feedback, or I just start dancing to the music in my head.

Did TBT UB today. It was good. Someone how the tri-sets seem so long. Cathe should do a "TBD - total body double-set". By the end I just don't care anymore and then the last series feels like a double-set. ???

Does anyone know what happened to Becky, VeggieGirl?

Roxie - I hope you are feeling better.
Lisa - glad you had a good time.
Jody - the black squirrels - I did not know what they were the first time I saw them. I thought they were some specials species or something. I had to ask someone what they were and, once they realized what I was talking about, looked at me like I was an alien. I can laugh about it now.
Penguin - good luck with the job search and that whole situation.
Mary - happy late b'day.
Ronne - I'm lost, are you away, going away, coming back?

Murphy
 
Hi girls! Today did CB, somebody inspired me to pull it out again! Murphy, that is a long work out! Ok, I'll bite, what is a black squirrel? If its a dumb question, let me know! Ronne, you leave next month right? Lisa, enjoy your day off! Thanks for the wishes! How did this happen? Haha! Roxie, are you feeling better today? Jody, work is work! 10 more weeks! Did you ever notice there is always one in the bunch? Penguin, what does DH do? Hope the market is good where you are. Well, running around today, have to get a new driver's licsence. I spelled that wrong, didn't I? Go to the orthodontist, groceries and basketball! Talk to you later, Mary
 
Hi all

Wow, it's been busy!

So ...

Murphy - no, I'm here as usual but Lisa is joking about the fact that I seem to go away all the time (I'm actually off again in two weeks for a short break!) I don't mind the burpees, actually. Weird, I know!

Penguin - so sorry to hear about your DH and job situation. That stinks, especially this time of year. Hope things work out for you both.

Roxie - take it easy, woman!! Throwing up = not good!! Take care of yourself!

Mary - date night sounded fun! HAPPY BIRTHDAY (tho' maybe you didn't need reminding of your age! :p). Hope you get lots of lovely pressies!
Dinner was great on Sat, went really well. We're going to use exactly the same menu again when you and DH come round!! :D

Jody - glad I could be of help with presentation suggestions. Love Blurt-osis!:) Actually, I think it's an age thing. Just not giving a %^$£" anymore!

Had a nice lazy day yesterday as all the housework was out of the way. I'm reading an interesting book called How to be Free (basically, be a medieval peasant!! :eek:). Really interesting actually. This week, I've decided is going to be a Kickboxing and Yoga week. No weights, nothing. Just for a change. So today I did Amy Bento's Kickbox Surge (well 50 mins of it).
 
Good Morning,

This morning I got up and did KCMs Power Sculpt then went to spin class and now I am ready to go back to bed. I didn't get to see GS last night him and mommy were sleeping when I got there so I put food in refrig then went home.

Lisa-we have a place here in KS that has black squirrels.

Jody-glad you are here.

Penquin-I hope Dh finds a job just don't understand the whole meeting week though.

Mary-HAPPY BIRTHDAY even though I am late.

Ronne-enjoy your kickbox week and your day yesterday sounded wonderful.
 
I started back into working out with KPC, nice and easy especially since I'm still wiped out from traveling. It was quite an active little trip, I'm hoping that's why I'm wiped out and not that I'm older! So glad I took off work today too, I am NOT looking forward to going back. I love puttering around the house too much. I'm feeling like my hormones are coming back (sore boobs today, means I have some estrogen) and I'm trying hard to keep the stress in check. Still feeling it out about reducing my hours. I hate to have to admit any health problems to justify reducing hours, in the past it was easy as I would use the excuse that I wanted to spend more time with the kids. I feel to admit health problems would make me weak, I don't like feeling weak. I never told you all, but I do believe I have another basal cell on my chest, and I do remember it coming and going over the years. I'm 99% sure it is basal cell. Will see what he says in a month at my checkup.

Black squirrels, I don't know anything about them and didn't know there was such a thing. There was regular squirrels there too.

Jody, I'm sure the falls are beautiful when they are iced up (but then all the other attractions are closed). I was amazed and the constant mist bellowing up.

Murphy, I did TBT TB premix, I much preferred that, but then the leg part was not the JFO. I think it only had one set of each tri-set.

Mary, I LOVE rubbing it in that you are my age now!

Roxie, would you come put food in my refrig?

Ronne, my house is a mess, this week cleaning lady comes and will be her last time (if I follow thru with letting her go). Then it will all be up to me, I'm at the point I'd much rather clean house than work, but one seems to pay more than the other.;)

Peng, I'd be totally stressing if I were you. I'm soooo Type A, I try to change but then it stresses me out more! GAH!
 
I woke up cold this morning and wasn't very happy about it. Hubby left this morning for his work trip, usually he leaves for work and I'm still half asleep when we say goodbye but today we were both up and I watched him leave which was much worse:(. He feels going on this trip is a waste of his time, training for a job they will lay him off of in two months, when he could be out looking for another job.

I'm going to try 'body part a day' + cardio, mostly because I've never tried it before and I'm trying to keep cardio in the mix, but I may sneak a few extra body parts in here and there just to keep me interested. A workout of just triceps sounds a bit short and boring.

Faith, I've been known to just randomly start singing to the music in my head.

Lisa, the only reason I"ve heard of black squirrels is someone in another forum posted a picture of one from her yard last week. Around here ours are grey, and I've seen red but not black.

Ronne, interesting concept for a book.

Scuba, he's an aircraft mechanic, but last year took a desk job in parts receiving. This trip is an additional course to help him do his job.
 
Mary - black squirrels are just that, squirrels that are black. It is like a white tiger or lion - tigers and lions are usually yellow/orange but there are white ones out there. I have never seen the red ones. We have the brown ones where I live.

Penguin- is the training something he can put on his resume for the future?
