Hi all. I did not see a thread so I started one. This morning I did travel fit. my assistants were joining my exercise so i had to find something that they could sort of do. it was bearable. I only missed a few reps of a few exercises. then, towards the end, my MIL who is staying with us for a few weeks starts talking to me. really? i am in a plank and you want to talk? have a grea weekend everyone.

Murphy:rolleyes:
 
Hi ladies! I did 4ds UB premix. I swear lifting heavy gets my HR up...almost like cardio at times (or maybe I"m out of shape). Van sold in 3 hrs, first people that came made offer (of course they want it a bit lower than advertised) with cash. Cash is king :) It feels weird to have just one car, and a little hybrid at that. Hope the new car isn't delayed, supposed to be here end of March. I really didn't think the van would sell that quick, much less 3 hrs! Also had the bathroom design guy (obviously gay but so good at design) over, he was here for 3 hrs! So we've planned a trip to the showroom tomorrow to pick colors and are on their schedule to get it done 1st week of April. I guess this guy felt he knew us after spending 3 hrs with us in our bathroom that he hugged us goodbye! lol

Mary, what instrument does DD play? DS22 played clarinet and saxophone. Then his senior yr in HS he was the drum major. He loved the band. DS19 played viola, but dropped playing in his junior yr of HS. They both started in 5th grade.

Murphy, I don't think I'd like an "audience" to my w/o much less talking :) Kudos for getting it done!

Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend!
 
Hi everyone! Rest day today, we are all just hanging out. Murphy, I don't like people in the room when I work out, let alone talking to me! You should have thrown a abandon at her! Lisa, 3 hours!? Amazing! How will you 2 be with just one car for a while? DD plays the drums, she is pretty good. I was pretty amazed actually! We always tease her about playing the triangle! Hi to all that follow, Mary
 
Mary, for the most part we should be ok with just one car since DH works from home. So unless he has somewhere he has to go or is traveling to the airport then I would just HAVE to work from home that day. I know, a sacrifice! Is DD in marching band at all? They had a drumline band here for the off season of marching band. DS22 did that one too. The kids loved it. DS played the snare on that one. I loved going to the band competitions. Enjoy your hang out day! We are planning our ski trip for next week. I'm soooo cheap, I don't like to pay a lot for the room!
 
Good Morning,

DH is helping SIL work on the house again today and they are getting alot done ready to put in the subfloor for main part of house. The wind is blowing like crazy here don't like to be outside your eyes and mouth get dirt in them. This morning I did 30mins on the TM then attempted some Shimmy Belly Dancing not very good that then Total Body Stretching.

Lisa-congrats on the car selling.

Murphy-I shut my workout room door.

Mary-sounds like a good way to spend the day.
 
Hello

Murphy - my DD has a tendency to ask me questions if she's around when I'm working out - usually when I'm at my sweatiest, most out of breath!

Lisa - I bet it feels great to sell the van so quickly. How exciting - a new bathroom. Will you be posting pics of your choices?

Mary - cool! DD has a mini drumkit in her room that she won't let us get rid of but she never plays it!

Roxie - do you get roped in to do the work as well?

Had a nice relaxing weekend, not doing too much. Didn't manage to paint the fence as it rained all day yesterday.
The three of us went out for pizza on Sat night - DD has got into the secondary school we wanted her to go to so we celebrated.
Did a good yoga session yesterday, working up to backbends. Felt great after. Making it up as I go along for workouts this week. Did KCM SS LB premix this am. Feeling it in my hips already!
 
Morning! Did PS legs today, I like that one, no pulse sets or low ends. Ronne, Congrats to DD! Will she be in 7th grade? Lisa, are you home today? Murphy, any more assistants? You should invite DH down to join you! Roxie, did you have to help? I'm much better at supervising! Jody, how was your weekend? Enjoy this week! Dh is off today too, he is finishing his workout and we are doing lunch. Have a good day, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I have had a busy morning so I haven't been able to check in. Tonite is my first Kettle Worx workout Cardio Level 2 Week #1 figure I will try it and if I don't like it I will go back to the LIS rotation.

Mary-I don't know how to build a house so I just stay out of the way but I am planning on doing alot of painting and advising.

Ronne-KCM's SS Lower Body is awesome.
 
Hi everyone! Sounds like everyone's had a busy day! I did Athletic Step, I don't know what's up with me but I had to pause several (and I mean several) times and then I got to the point that I would just side step during lunges or fast feet. Hey, but I did it, right? Felt like a HIIT to me!

Went and picked out the colors for the bathroom for the marble walls and tile floors, OMG, beautiful! And guess what? I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE...grrrr.....I'll just have to take a picture of the finished product :) Then priced some faucets, showers, toilet, light fixtures. Here is a picture of the tile I found online, the walls of the shower will be a white matte marble with black veining.
Welcome to Artistic Tile

DH's offer didn't come today via FedEx, so they have to go track it down, always something, right?

Mary, DH and I had lunch today too, we had a fun day, too bad I can't do this everyday!

Ronne, a backbend, WOW! I couldn't even do those as a teenager :)

Jody sent me an email, she's reading but she's not posting and she PROMISES she's doing workouts. She says she'll be back next Monday, not sure what's going on with her computer and the problems with the forum.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did the kettlebell workout and I didn't really like it only burned 148 calories for 26 mins, the instructor isn't very good but I did say I would give it the week so I will.

Lisa-I stay off of the Open Discussion that seems to be where the virus is coming from. It would be fun to redo a bathroom. Maybe you still have a touch of the virus.
 
Hello

Mary - PS legs is a goodie, isn't it? You get it all done but don't feel completely wiped at the end. So you're having a nice break then?

Lisa - it's exciting getting your house done but don't you find that there are so many decisions to make? I couldn't believe how many things we had to think about when we had ours done.
You have been ill for a while so it will take a bit to get back to where you were, but you'll get there :)

Roxie - is this a new set of kettlebell workouts you've got? Or something you've just not got around to before?

Hi to Jody and Murphy!

Did Hiit 40/20 today. Managed quite well - only missed the first 5 seconds of butt kicks and got down on the floor for the sprawl and jab! Bright and sunny here, but cold. Nice to see sunshine!
 
Hi girls! Today did PS CS&T, then did intervals on the TM. Lisa, a new bathroom is amazing! How fun picking all new things. Ronne, good job on missing those 5 seconds, I'd probably want to miss them all! Roxie, is that a new system? I have never heard of it. Hi to Murphy and Jody! (I know you are out there!) Have some and errands and cleaning. Have a good day,Mary
 
Hi all. Yesteray was a crazy day at work. I had no time to check-in. Yesterday was TBT LB and today is TBT UB. I am liking the UB more, but at times it still seems to drag on. I don't know why. No assistants this time. :)

Hi to everyone who follows.

Lisa - please tell Jody we said hello.

Murphy
 
Good Afternoon,

Its been a busy morning. The wind here is gusting up to 50MPH its horrible we need rain to settle all the dust. Tonite is Kettle Worx Fast Burn and then I will probably walk on the TM.

Ronne-its a set of new workouts that we downloaded of the internet.

Mary-it was on one of the morning news stations and you can buy it at Target, I don't think its new but its just now catching attention. I am one of those bad people that does illegal downloads, and in this instance it saved me about 90.00 dollars because I would have been real disapointed if I had bought them.
 
Hey everyone, I'm running behind. Had my gyn appt today. OY! Never in a million years did I expect what I have to do! So, since I haven't had a cycle since I was 46 (been almost 2 yrs), that means I went through menopause early. Need to start thinking of HRT, better to start sooner than later. Also wants my bone density tested since I went thru it early. That is on friday now. I had bloodwork done today for T3, T4, FSH, LH, estrodial, vit d levels then we will see how best to proceed. All the symptoms I'm having is all menopause and upon physical exam she saw signs of the lowered estrogen. Now if you want me to go into details I will but we can leave it at that if the details are TMI.

Roxie, shame on you! I would NEVER! lol you know I'm kidding

Oh, no workout, slept late (because I was up in middle of night again last night).
 
OH DH got his official offer letter today, gave 2 wk notice to his mgr via email since she is on vacation today....this is a scary feeling.
 
Lisa, Congrats! New job, new car, new bathroom! My gyn made me go thru all those tests too. She told me it was too early. They all came back ok, I didn't have to do the bone density tho. I'm sure that will be fine with all your weight lifting. She did offer me hormones, I turned them down. The risks made me nervous. I found out all the women in our family went thru the change when they were 40, made me feel better, then I was "late"! You and DH should celebrate your good fortune! Mary
 
Mary, finally everything coming together! I don't know when Mom went thru change since she had hysto. I'm not sure if my oldest sister (8 yrs older) is "done", the one that is 6 yrs older is still having them...she is 53. So I'm guessing maybe normally 55 for women in my family? I read somewhere that if you start your cycle later then you end earlier? Do you know if any truth to that? I do know I was a very late bloomer.....almost 17! Not sure what I'll do about the hormone thing....I've heard pluses and minuses --- my doc was a plus person and I do trust her immensely. Cited studies why they are better and why it is better to start soon after meno rather than waiting 10 yrs or so and then starting them. gosh it's hard to be a woman sometimes!
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did Kettle Worx Fast Burn #1 and it was a good little burn and then 30mins on the TM.

Lisa-I don't know when my mom went through the change, but I started at the age of 12 and I am still going but I am also on the birth control pill so I don't think that helps. My boss definetly needs hormone therapy never know what mood she will be in. Congrats to DH on the job.
