Quick post to get us started. Did DM today I felt guilty for taking 2 rest days and only doing MMA Boxing yesterday. Did DM make up for it? :)

DS19 (the younger one) is on fall break and was bored because everyone left campus so he is home now until Tues night. We have his dr appt tomorrow. I am walking on eggshells trying not to say something to set him off (I've been like this with him for last few months---seems to be worse when he is in school).

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
 
Good Evening,

I didn't work out yesterday and today dh and I went shopping went to Sam's to stock up on stuff and then we came back to town and went to Target and bought me a wt bench so I can lift safely when I am dizzy which is still happening.
 
Hello everyone

Yes, I'm back from foreign parts. Had a great time. It was really nice to see my friend. We went up into the mountains one day and it was absolutely breathtaking. I'm attaching a couple of photos. We did a walk up there - climbed 300m in about an hour. It was steep! Brought back a bit of chocolate but didn't have loads while I was there.

Today I did Hiit 30/30 and a segment of Stretch Max as my legs really needed it!

Lisa - keeping my fingers crossed for your youngest DS.

Roxie - hope the weight bench helps you deal with the dizziness.

Morning girls! Procrastinating...again! I just have to figure out what to do? Ronne, your pictures are beautiful! And you are too! I thought of you on a train to Paris as I was stuck in traffic, thought of jealousy went through my head! Lisa, hope all goes well with DS. It is probably nice to have him home where you can keep an eye on him. Roxie, when do you see the specialist? This week? Murphy, did you do some Cathe? In the basement? Jody, you out there? Yesterday was smallest DS's birthday. We went to a laser tag place, better than Chuck E Cheese! He had a ball. Then just had family over, nice day. Now, back to reality. Well, better get my shoes on and start moving! Mary
 
Ronne, BEAUTIFUL! Are you a redhead? Now you can come climb Colorado mountains, no wait, I wanna come climb with you :)

Mary, Chuck-e-cheese, vs Europe? Uh, I think I'll go see Ronne :)

Gotta run for sure now, thinking of taking a half day off tomorrow I'm so fed up
 
Good Morning,

DD wasn't able to walk this morning so I went with my boss again and it was chilly 42 degrees not ready for the cold yet. Tonite is High Step Circuit and maybe some extra abs.

Lisa-wish you weren't having such a rough time.

Ronne-the pictures are beautiful glad you had fun.

Mary-specialist is suppose to be Wednesday but I am not going to be able to make it things are getting busy here at work.

Jody-where are you.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did High Step Circuit used 5lb wts. and blue bands. Tomarrow is suppose to be the last day I walk with the boss dd will be back.
 
Hey girlie girls! How goes?

Wow, Ronne, beautiful! and the view's not bad either. : ) I am glad you had fun on your trip.

Hugs to Lisa and family. And take care of yourself a midst the tensions.

Mary, I love to play laser tag (and love pizza, too).

Roxie, hang in there. I think you do a great job of keeping up w/ workouts even when you are feeling bad, I admire that.

Hi Murphy!

OK, I've gotten about 1 workout in in the past 11 days. This statistics class just added about 10-12 hours of work to my week (4 hours of seat time in class on Fri morning and study time. Unfortunately, my study time gets so broken up (open books, spread out, steal graphing calc from kid, open solutions website, open professor website, oops, out of time, pack up, run kid, park car, open book, yadda yadda...)I haven't got a good grip on it yet. I think I will be lucky to have made a 40 on our first test. : 0

And, more distractingly, I've been worried about dd swollen lymph. Less so since a friend of mine who is masage, cst, lymphatic therapist worked on it, but still think it is just not right. But I can go straight to worse case scenario... Ugh, trying to manage teens and get them thru college and maybe out of the house someday is starting to add some wear and tear to my brain and body. I feel like the past year is really showing.

Hugs, yall, ttyl, hopefully with another workout under my belt ( I did cardio step from 4DS)
 
Hi everyone

Thank you all v much for the compliments [blush]! Back to reality today. Did ME and work is still quiet so I'm painting the back garden fence ... See, my life is not all glamour :eek:!

Lisa - yes, I'm a fake redhead since about the age of 16. No, I'm coming to you - I'd love to go skiing in Colorado :p

Jody - sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. Don't worry about the workouts, you'll get them in eventually. Are you going back to the dr with DD?

Mary - sounds like DS's birthday was fun.

Roxie - hope you don't have to cancel your appointment.

Well, the weather is still good out there so I better get finished while I can. Bye for now!
 
Good Morning,

This morning we went for a walk 43 degrees with a wind chill of 38 brrr. Tonite the kids are coming over to celebrate DH's 2 year anniversary smoke free do I hope to get CLX Fat Burn or whatever its called only 21 minutes long.

Jody-sounds like you are a busy girl, DD took statistics this year and had a real tough time with it. Here at our universaty half of the students fail it the first time around. Hope dds cyst goes away soon. I try not to let the dizziness slow me down I use to but I am not going to let it get the best of me.
 
HI all. I am back up and running (er, exercising). I have been doing some short 30 min Tracie Long work outs. I am trying to see if I want to keep them or get rid of them. I think I will get rid of them, I just don't like them anymore. I am keeping some earlier Tracie Long's, those I still like. I think I may get some more padding for the basement floor, spread out the area a little bit more. I first need to see how much space the new dvd's require.

Lisa - I hope things get better for all of you, especially DS.

Roxie - Good luck with the dizziness, it can be so tough to deal with.

Ronne - Loved the pictures. I am so jealous.

Jody - I hope your DD gets better.

Murphy
 
Hi girls! Today did Rumble, yesterday need up doing PLB. Hamstrings are a little sore today. Jody, I had to take 4 statistics classes in college. Boy, did I have a hard time with that! Of course , at the time, I blamed it on the fact the teachers (grad students) couldn't speak English and I didn't understand them, instead of the fact that I just wasn't that bright! Also, about your DD gland, I remember our doc saying children's glands are normally enlarged, that they reduce in size in adulthood. Lisa, hope DS is doing better, hope the pills help! Sorry about work! Murphy, just think, this time next week you will have your new dvd's in your new basement. Roxie, I hope you make it to that appointment tomorrow. Ronne, yes, but what does your garden look like? I imagine it with a picket fence, stone patio with a gorgeous arbor with beautiful wildflowers all around and a sweet little table to sit at! Am I close at all? Well, I have rambled on long enough! Talk to you later, Mary
 
Lisa, sounds like you need some hugs. {{Lisa}}

Thanks for the good thoughts around dd. I will let ya know if anything develops or resolves. Regarding Stats, I intend to prevail.

Murphy, I am glad you got your workout space again. That has to feel good.

Roxie, in FL, about half the students entering community colleges test into prep math and of those who take it, about half flunk out, so stats is definitely time to put on the big girl panties. Congrats to dh and smoke free. Funny that you mentioned it. I haven't smoked in 19 years, but after my test the other day I wanted a freakin' cigarette!

Ronne, you have a garden fence, how Brit of you!

Oh, I experienced orthodontonarcolepsy today...that little cat nap you succumb to in the car while you wait outside for a kid having an adjustment to her braces.

Hi all

Roxie - congrats to your DH on staying smoke free for 2 years.

Lisa - sending hugs to you. Sounds pretty crappy at the moment. Hope things work out with DS and that work gets better.

Murphy - hooray! You're working out again! I know what you mean about the recent Tracie Longs - I think it's also something to do with her being on her own. I think it makes it a bit flat.

Mary - Sorry to disappoint you Mary. It's nothing like that at all!! No picket in sight, no table, no patio. Just some grass, boring wooden fence, shabby shed and a few plants and pots. Functional is the word, I think!

Jody - sounds like tough stuff you're doing. I love your new terminology - it made me smile :D.

Subbed a plyo legs I don't have with DM Cardio/Leg blast premix. Tough!!! Went to town to get some library books for next week (did I mention we're going on holiday for school half term? - OK please don't throw anything at the screen :eek:). We're going to Wales for the week - lots of fresh air and walking I hope.
 
Today was TF 55 EZ....I needed the fun music to improve my mood.....well, that only lasted maybe an hour as I ran into road construction just 2 mins from work and had to find another route, 10 min later I guess I finally got into work, oh joy. I think I'm mostly caught up at work and hoping no crap gets dumped.

Roxie, any word on the dizzies? It's been colder here, had first freeze, had to close the windows, however I have not turned on the furnace!

Jody, thanks for the hug, right back at ya (((( Jody ))))) Never took statistics, but I used to always love math.

Ronnie, a bottled red head! I always hated my red hair growing up, I probably didn't start liking it until my 20's, but then I have the freckles that go with it. Fancy that! (now that sounds so British, eh?) You look snazzy woman!

Mary, I think I need some of DS's pills :p My hormones are raging around....no hot flashes anymore since I've been drinking soy milk (it has estrogen in it). Now I'm just grumpier than a hornet!

Murphy, Just think of all the organization you've gotten done getting everything back in order, and just in time for the new workouts? When are we getting them?

better go see what fun awaits me at work......
 
Good Morning,

DD and I didn't go for a walk this morning we both wanted to sleep in because it so cold out, tomarrow when we walk its suppose to be 28 degrees. Last night I did CLX Fat Burn Challenge before we went out to eat with the kids, tonite will be KBXing of some kind and abs. I rescheduled my appt for Nov 10th just couldn't do it today. Dh is buying a truck today so I can finally quit hearing if only we had a truck.

Ronne-totally jealous.

Mary-still going to appt just not today.

Murphy-does it feel good having your space back?

Lisa-sounds like your day is starting out bad so it can only get better. How is DS?
 
Hi girls! Did 3.5 miles on the TM, felt too antsy to do weights today. Lisa, I should try some of that milk! I have been getting hotter, even during the day! How long will it take the pills to work? Ronne, well, I had a good fantasy going, didn't I? I read too much! I also watch House Hunters International. And another vacation? You are a lucky bird! Roxie, make sure you keep that next appointment! Murphy, what did you do today? Hi to you Jody! I need to go get DD from school. Talk to you tomorrow, Mar
