Super 40s and over

[Ronne]

Hello everyone

I can't see a thread so thought I'd get us started.

Had a nice weekend with parents and family. This is the last full week of work for me before we go off on holiday. Can't wait! Getting some workouts in before we go. Did PUB yesterday and really enjoyed it . Today I'm doing a Christi Taylor step as I'm in the mood for some fun!

Hope all is well with everyone! Bye for now.

Hey Ronne....it seems to be an effort to get over here to post workouts.......I did DM total body PM yesterday and rode spin bike today. Don't know what I've been doing but somehow the day gets away from me (and must be the same for everyone else given that no one has posted). Is it time to shut down this checkin?

Oh and Ronne, how can you "enjoy" PUB? Actually I like that one, my biceps do not.

Enjoy your holiday next week Ronne.

Hi girls! How is everyone's week? Lisa, we cant shut us down! I think with the height of s ummer everyone is just running around! I know we are and with these kids home, I don't get as much free time! Did LIC yesterday, today walked 4 miles with my vest, I think my body likes circuits better, have lost 12 lbs since May! Ronne, where are you going on vacation? Hope all is well with all! Talk to you later. Mary

Hi ladies

Lisa - no, we can't shut this down!! Like Mary says, I think it just goes quiet around here over summer. That DM premix is pretty tough isn't it?

Mary - congrats on the weight loss - that's very impressive! I really like LIC, I'm trying to do more circuit type stuff at the moment. We're off to France next Friday. Can't wait!

Well, today I did an hour of yoga which was great. Felt really loose and relaxed. Looks like our summer is over here! We had two great weeks of weather in June and since then, it's been rubbish. It's rained constantly today. I went into town to get some reading for my holiday. Got a book called The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf, looks like interesting reading.

Off out to the pub soon ... See you tomorrow.

HI everyone,

I am back from the family reunion (Virginia Beach). It was okay. The kids seemed to have fun. I had the kids by myself so it was not as much fun for me, but the weather was nice and they were happy so...

I did a DM pre-mix the other day and my EA Sports this morning. I may do B&G floorwork only tomorrow. If I don't wake up in time I will have to do something else. Excuse me while I go unplug the alarm clock!

Hi ladies.

I don't realy have the time to check in daily, but I try to get in here two times per week. Don't shut it down...... we are all busy. Anyway, no-one has "really" mentioned shutting this down, its just been very quiet.

Yesturdays workout was a tough tough bootcamp. Im off this morning to do another!

I've started doing my own weight workouts! WOW! I can go really really heavy and get the heart rate right up.

I love PUB too.
see ya

Hi everyone! Ronne, take me to the pub with you! (then I'll go to France with you, too!) Have a great time! Andrea, are you able to w/o without a dvd? I am impressed, I can't concentrate without someone telling me what to do! Murphy, glad to see you back! It is hard when you are the only one to take care of the kids! (want to go to France with Ronne and me?!) Lisa, how are you? Well, off to wash and Walmart! Mary

Sorry to mention "closing down"....I guess I just have a lot of negative energy lately. I had myself a pity party today since it's been a really tough few days with Maddy. Shame on me, I've even thought it would be soooo much easier to just put her down. I feel awful for thinking it. She is so happy and active it's just she doesn't drink and eat enough sometimes for whatever reason (I know it's the disease). Trying to figure out WHAT exactly she will eat each day is getting more trying. I feel like I'm letting her down.

Enought of that...I did SJP minus the hi/lo part (dont' like it)....I thought it would be an easy workout...uh, it wasn't.

I just don't have the energy for the personals today ladies.....

Lisa, I'm sorry that things have been so rough for you. You have been so devoted to Madison, she is so lucky to have you as her mother. Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you. Mary

Hello everyone

Lisa - I know it's tough, but don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing everything you possibly can to make your dog as comfortable as possible. You couldn't do any more. And it's not wrong to think about having her put down, it's perfectly normal. Hang in there, we're all behind you here.

Andrea - hello! Bootcamp classes sound like they're working out well.

Murph - good to see you back. It's tough when you're in charge of the kids by yourself isn't it? Anyway, at least they enjoyed themselves, that does make life easier.

Mary - you're welcome to come down the pub anytime! I'll see if I can squeeze you in the back of the car for France, as long as you don't mind being squashed!

I had a great workout today. I did all of Hard Work Conditioning 2. This is the one I got at Christmas and when I did one 30 min section it nearly killed me! Well, I did both together today and I got through it! It was great, I really enjoyed it and I was dripping (sorry, TMI!)

Back to yoga again tomorrow and then that's it for me and exercise this week!

see you tomorrow!

quick drop in...no personals either, sorry.....pity party has continued into today.....things did get better though with Maddy's eating though, it's just I think it's short lived but I hope not....I have to keep trying to live in the moment and not worry about the future or ponder on the past. That darn dog ate DRY prescription kidney food my friend gave me (I didn't want to invest in a bag if she didn't eat it). I put my gourmet lunch (spagetti and cod --- she's eaten before) alongside the dry food and she ate the DRY FOOD! I guess I may go buy some and sure as I do she will decide she doesn't like it.....oh geez, why can't this be easier? keep yall's fingers crossed ok?

Oh, no exercise today....it's cold and rainy here, I did get in the dog walk between rain showers...waiting for another break to go again. So since I didn't get all sweaty from my dog walk I felt it an omen that I not get sweaty from exercising to Cathe so I took the day off!

 

[Ronne]

Hi all

Good idea to take the day off, Lisa! Hope Maddy continues eating the dry food.

Today I did my hour of yoga which was great. We're going up to my parents for the weekend tomorrow, it'll be nice not to have to do anything!

DH and I are going to the cinema tonight to see Bruno - should be interesting!

Have a good weekend everyone!
