40s - week of 9/11/11

I need some regular clips, too. I have a jr bb set w/ a tighten down clip. Lisa, can you return yours that don't fit? I agree, wth? ::scratches head::

Did everyone preorder the new workouts? How are we going to be able to work it all in?

I'm catching up on homework and skipping dance today but I had fun over the weekend.

Today I did a modified for still wonky knee Intensity premix and SH biceps.

Thanks for starting thread, Lisa
 
Hi girls! No workout yet today, did ME yesterday. MIL went home yesterday, speech is still giving her trouble, they said within 3 months she should be back to normal. We are grateful. Yesterday DS ran cross country, POURING rain! I was a drowned rat! This am DH ran a half marathon. It looked painful! He had a good time, very proud of him! Lisa, good for you with STS again, I was thinking of doing just meso 2. Jody, are you in school or do you teach? Roxie, glad you had fun at your reunion! Ronne, how was the weekend away? Murphy, how is the basement? I too, am impatiently waiting for the new dvd's! I can't imagine it will be too much longer. Would love to see clips tho! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! DH and I are belatedly celebrating our wedding anniversary tonite, just going out to dinner. Talk to you later, Mary
 
Good Evening,

Today we went to MILs for her birthday and we took our bikes with us and went for a 4 mile bike ride and tonite I am going for a walk with DD.

Lisa-got your message, DH is pretty computer savvy so I will have him help me with it. I like romance and mysteries, I have read all of Sue Graftons, and Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber. Right now I am reading the Help.

Jody-Collage Video says the new workouts are expected Sept. 27th. I can't wait to get them and I am sure I can fit them in, really looking forward to the Yoga ones that is something I need to do more of.

Mary-glad to hear MIL is doing better.
 
Hi everyone

Mary - sorry to hear about your MIL. Hope she's making a good recovery - it's good that she's out of the hospital. Well done to your DH for the half marathon - that's impressive.

Jody - I know what you mean about the money and food diet. Work's gone quiet on me again and I really need to rein in the spending. Not really got to grips with that yet though! Sounds like you've been having fun with your friends - we can't be watching what we're eating/drinking all the time. Life's too short!

Lisa - That's a pain with your barbell. Is that your 4th one now? I'm losing track!

Roxie - the family reunion sounded good. It's great when you get compliments like that, isn't it?

Had a great weekend with DH. The place was gorgeous and we had a really relaxing time. I finally feel back to myself again. I've not stopped eating and drinking all weekend so need to get some good workouts in this week!
Today I did SM and I was pleased that I wasn't gasping for breath seeing as I haven't done any cardio for a month! I've also started the 100 push up challenge as I want to try something different. Just Day 1 but I did 30 altogether (with rests) so was pleased.
 
Good Morning,

DD had to work late last night so we didn't go for a walk tonite for me is LIS Leg Blast and some abs.

Ronne-glad you and dh had a good time.
 
Morning girls! Today did Rumble from Amy, got a good sweat! Ronne, sounds like a great weekend! We need a money budget also! I have to say I am a good spender! Roxie, I just finished Debbie Macomber's new one. Can't remember the name tho! Jody, is your knee feeling any better? Lisa, what are you up to? Murphy, is your space back together? Well, need to get moving. Lots of stuff to catch up on, talk to you later, Mary
 
I woke up waaaay early so that means I may be sleeping late tomorrow, so I sucked it up and ran 5.25 miles thinking that tomorrow may turn out to be an unplanned rest day.

Roxie, I'm reading now Nora Roberts Bride Quartet series (finally, right Mary?! Have you read it yet?) I see you joined my dropbox, glad DH is able to help you.

Mary, that's very impressive of your DH even after the stress of his Mom. Tonight is the finale of Bachelor Pad, I'll be struggling to stay awake for it.

Ronne, It's my 3rd barbell, the clips from the same place I ordered it should be here Wed, they better fit! I do like the shorter size of it. My old one is 6 ft long, I think this one is a foot shorter. This way in one cramped part of my w/o area (especially since I'm giving Yoshi a bigger area for her to do her "business") it doesn't hit the table the old one used to when I did pullovers.

Jody, I'm not winning the war on the food diet but I'm still hanging in there with the money diet. I'm bummed because I swear I don't eat all THAT much but still can't get past this "plateau". But I'm still 10 lbs heavier than I was at my best weight since I've been in my 40s. I swear work has something to do with it!

Murphy, are you getting in some w/o's?
 
Lisa,
work- stress- increased cortisol (sp?) levels- body holds onto fat. Plus we are metabolically more inclined to need fewer calories, I think, in 40s. sigh

I did SH shoulders. I tried body fusion, but knee hurt again after doing the Intensity premix from yesterday. hmmm.
 
Hello all

Lisa - I get it now. My barbell is a short one - I'd be smacking into things with a 6 footer. So are you taking a rest day today?

Jody - going back to what you said about weights - I can usually match Cathe on most things apart from biceps. I don't know how she does it! My barbell only goes up to 35lbs tho and my heaviest weights are 25lbs so I never go above that anyway.

Mary - sounds like you're busy with work, school and everything else.

Roxie - is that a new roof on your house?

Murphy - hope things are OK.

Did yoga today - was in the mood for a good stretch and relax. Am loving the new bathroom!
 
Good Morning,

Didn't get my workout in last night I was watching football and DD didn't feel well this morning so no walk. Tonite is MM Upper Body premix and some abs.

Ronne-that is a new roof for my house I ordered the shingles in May but never heard anything so I called a couple of weeks ago and now we have shingles now its a matter of when they are going to install them hope soon because it started to leak after the last rain storm.
 
REST DAY! I was so tired last night, I took a nap at 6pm, and told DH to wake me at 7pm so I could watch Batchelor Pad. Then to bed at 10pm and up at 6:30, ah, and I slept good. That feels good when that happens!

Mary, I don't like Vienna's hair on the finale of BP. She is sooo rubbing me the wrong way. Casey actually redeemed himself in my eyes even though I think he is still and idiot.

Ronne, how awesome about the bathroom! Some day I think we need to do an overhaul on ours and replace carpeting in the basement and bedrooms (the rest is hardwood). I dread both! We've been in our house 19 yrs....where did the time go?

Roxie, Good news about the roof, we had ours done about a year and a half ago.
 
Ok ladies how great and professional is this, the boss hasn't paid the phone bill in 2 months and they shut our phones off today and he came in but was to sick to remember how to get on line and pay the bill and yesterday he messed up our billing software, so I am sitting here at work doing nothing and we have oxygen pts. that we are suppose to be on call for 24 hours a day.

That's really kind of pathetic. I can't believe people run businesses like this?
Click to expand...

He's been to sick to pay bills not that he was good at it before but now he doesn't stay here long enough to pay any had to send his son down to fix the phones and I told him he just needed to pay the bill.
 
Hi girls! Did PH today, just a lot of chores and such. Also, I had a lot of 4th grade homework! Roxie, I hope you are getting paid! Don't let him forget that! Lisa, I can't watch Bachelor Pad! The dvr was taping too many things and DH wanted to watch football, so I gave that up! Love I guess! I think I can watch it on line? Ronne, I would probably be working out in my new bathroom! I would love a new bathroom myself. Murphy, you out there? Jody, how are you? The knee? Well, the house is cluttered, off to pick up! Talk to you tomorrow! Mary
 
Mary, that MUST be love! DH knows that the DVR is MINE! And if it's recording 2 programs at once, he must go to a different TV to watch whatever he is wanting to watch! :)
 
Got my workout in finally. Knee still iffy. I started to walk while waiting for dd at TKD class and ended up doing about a 4 mile run. Came home and did SH Tri and Bi. I'm still a little trembley. I agree, hth does Cathe do that much wt on her biceps? Not as dramatic on this workout, but biceps are one body part I rarely am able to match.

I also have one short bar. My dumbbells are speed wts which I'm mostly ok with, but it takes moment or two to switch.

Roxie, why don't you take over the bill paying in your work, make sure you write your payroll check and why you are at it, you prob are due for a bonus, lol.

I watched part of the US Open last night. Is tomorrow Wed? wow, i cant keep up.

Have a good night, y'all~~
 
Hi everyone

Roxie - that's great about the roof - not so great about the job! What a nightmare.

Jody - I would have loved to have seen the US Open final. It sounded fantastic. It was only on satellite here.
I've also got those multi-changing weight thingies. Mine go up in increments of 5lbs. Occasionally, I have to pause a DVD while I'm changing weights because my hands are so slippy!

Lisa - It's such a drag having work done on the house, though, isn't it? It'll be years before we do anything again.

Mary - how's the hand doing? Did you get through PH OK?

I did AS and Day 2 of my push-up challenge today. AS is harder than SM. I get about 15 mins in thinking it's fine and then it hits me!
Going to the cinema tonight to see The Skin I Live In.
