The term "manic Monday" seems appropriate here. Collin is sick, so I'm not going to work today. But I have a bazillion cases in court this afternoon, so I will have to go for that part. So I will just go in from like 1230 to 3 pm or so. Collin will be napping anyway, so it should be no big deal. Not sure who will stay with him... Chris? BIL? We will see...
Meso 3 starts today -- I hope I am ready! We shall see!

Katie I hope Collin feels better and your court cases go well.
Kate good luck with the cake-thing. That's hard with everyone watching.
Y-day I made some homemade ice tea but used the wrong tea bags. I had to sit on the toilet for about 1/2 hour.
So today I feel weak and I have to do STS 31...which is 90% 1RM ...we will see how it goes.

Robin, ROFL about your tea bags!! YIKES!!!
Can you put off your lifting today til tomorrow? I sure wouldnt want to be lifting that with Montezuma's Revenge going on!
I have 2 pears to use up and I was going to make pear/oatmeal cake. But I'm sure I'd eat too much of it so I'll steam and mash them for Julia. Will Power!!! Will Power!!!!

Morning!
Beautiful, sunny day here And it's my recovery week, too! Not sure what I'm going to do-maybe 4DS cardio power? I still need to get to the grocery store, but my dad is sick and I REALLY don't want to take Nevena so I might have to wait til tonight.
Katie, so sorry about Collin. Kids-they never get sick when you want them to! Hope he feels better soon! Good luck with Meso 3!
Kate, you have willpower of steel! You can do it! Maybe Julia can help? Enjoy day one of recovery week
Robin, yowza! 90%?! I'm scared! Good luck and don't push too hard if you're not feeling it.
Hi to all!

Kate, good luck with the cake/ice cream today. I don't really have any advice... Maybe you could call ahead and tell them that you don't want to eat any and ask them to support you... Or you could fib and say you aren't eating dairy right now cause you think Julia might be allergic... ?

Hey Klaudia, hope you get to the store today! Enjoy your recovery week!
Disk 25 went really well for me today -- flat bench press was 60#, chest flies 25#, one arm row 30#. I am impressed wit myself!
My weight is up the couple/standard water weight pounds that always show up after a good weekend. I need to be careful with eats today and plenty of fluids. I am also going to try to squeeze in some extra activity since I will be home instead of at a desk all day. Cleaning, laundry, maybe a walk on the treadmill. I think it's going to be too hot today (90*) to let a sick kid play outside, so no go on that.

Good Morning Everyone!
I am ready for this heat to disappear. I want a little more Spring before Summer comes. This morning was Meso 3 disk 31 chest & back. Wow 90% of 1RM is tough. I almost had to call Chris in to help me get my weights up for chest work.
I want to live in a vacuum. We have the measles going around here and then the swine flu. Luckily it hasn't made it here yet but it sounds like it is just a matter of time. I really wish they would stop talking about it on the news.
Katie, sorry Collin is sick but I am glad you can stay home.
Kate, sending you clean eating vibes. I am determined to keep it clean today.
Klaudia, sorry your dad is sick. Hope you can get to the grocery store.
Robin, wait a day for meso 3. It is really tough and if you are not feeling well it will be even harder.

Quick drive by from work--hi everyone! I am so happy to be home. Except for Thursday night I spent every free moment in the last week taking care of other people. I'm sick of it. There, I said it, I'm selfish. I don't think I have to go anywhere for 2 weeks, so that makes me really happy. And, Jim and I took Wednesday off because we thought his mom was having surgery that day. Since she isn't we get a day off together! What a concept.

Kate great w/o today.
Anne enjoy your day off on Wednessday.
Colleen good going with chest press. What's your highest numbers? thanks but I did disc 31 and my calculations were too low. I had to recalculate 3 of my exercises. It took me 1 1/2 hours but I got it done. I think I just need more water and maybe an orange or 2
Katie you go with those heavy weights ^5s. Isn't it exciting to see what you can do.
Off to Irene's house.

I've been on an organizing binge! I'm almost done with Nevena's closet. I ran out of detergent so I have to stop for a while. I guess that means I should work out, huh?
Colleen, I am ready to go out and buy masks and food supplies! Nothing like the possibility of a pandemic to work up a hypo! Way to go on Meso 3!
Anne, if you were selfish, you wouldn't be doing what you are. It's normal to feel the way you do-taking care of others takes a mental and emotional toll on people. Do something fun on Wednesday!
Kate, how are the eats? You know it'll rain when I go grocery shopping, right?
Robin, good work!
Off to make lunch...

Katie - Hope Collin feels better. How old is he?
Robin - Yikes about the wrong tea bag. Hope you're feeling better today.
Kate - I am with you on the sugar. I went to the bday party and had a few mini cupcakes. I am so bad with the sugar. You can do it today Kate, you can!
Klaudia - Would you like to organize my room, lol? I am halfway there, but it feels like it's never ending.
Colleen - Measles? Where do you live? I know what you mean about the swine flu. It's on the news and internet all the time.
Hi Anne, Morris, Angie!!
This weekend was very busy. I did manage to get in a good few miles of walking with baby in tow in my mei tai carrier. It was like walking with a 16lb weighted vest. I need to hit the weights this week. Last week was all cardio, but it was the quickest and easiest to do while having a busy week. I am happy that I only have 4 more lbs to lose to get to prepg, but I do need to cut out the sugar!! Have a great Monday ladies!!
