Good Morning, girls!

Thought I'd get us started while I have the time, sitting here on my duff having my coffee because I can't workout today. I seem to have hurt myself somehow, and have this nagging pain under my ribs, almost like a stitch if you run too hard too fast, you know?, but worse. I could barely move around in bed last night. :mad: I think I've got to let it heal, and I'm not sure how long that'll take. Think I'll have to stick to long walks for a couple days.

Wendy: You're having some bad luck with the cars! Argh! Hope it's minor and you have it back soon. Sounds like the interview went well. That rocks that it's casual attire and you won't have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I remember going through that and it can be frustrating because it takes a while to build it up.

Laura: I feel for you and your fear of flying. I avoid it completely if I can, but last year my boss sent me on a trip to Miami for a seminar she thought I should take, and I went alone! It was the first time I'd been on a plane in 14 years and I was scared sh*tless! But it obviously went well, and yours will too! There's an article on Yahoo this morning about how rare incidents like Air France are these days. We unfortunately only hear about the bad news and don't hear about the hundreds of safe landings every day. Maybe you can try to keep that in mind. And if that doesn't work, do what I did...two cosmos before boarding the plane :D So what if it was eleven in the morning? It worked.

Lori: Geesh, you were one active girl yesterday! I bet you got a million steps in for the day ;) I actually love days like that, because then I'm able to crash when I hit the pillow and don't move all night. Days like the way today is going to be drive me nuts.

Hello to Jacque and Diana!

Time to get ready for work, but will bbl~

Jen
 
Morning Glories.

Well, I wanted to do upper body today but it's lookin' like it'll be a no go. My elbow starting hurting me y'day afternoon/evening and is still hurting today. There is no way I can do an upper body work out like this. UGH. That being said I will do core and cardio. I will give Jackie's One on One core work out a try and add some cardio to it from somewhere...perhaps the Biggest Loser Cardio Max work out. That's a new one I haven't tried yet! :D

Lori:
Scale is back down for me...it usually doesn't take much.
Click to expand...
Oh yeah sure. Just rub it in why don't you! :p
I sure DID want to throw up when I looked in the mirror a few months ago! I had lost all definition in my abs and my gut was sticking out unacceptably far.:eek: So you think you got enough cardio in y'day with the run, the walk AND the jog? Jeesh! :D
I should hear about the job in the next 1-2 weeks. :eek:

Laura: Well you can get the LESS drowsy version of Dramamine and have some wine with it like I did ;), or you can get the full strength stuff and just pass out! LOL Thanks re the interview!!!!:)

Jen: Sorry you are hurt/in pain. That makes two Damage Controller down just like my 2 cars! LOL But seriously though, I hope we both feel better FAST and that no one else gets hurt in the mean time! :eek: Thanks re the job interview. The next week or so is going to go sooooooo s-l-o-w-l-y! LOL

Well, I am all dressed and ready to walk to school! Gosh, I haven't done this in 20 years! :D;)

BBL for sure. It's not like I can GO anywhere today! :rolleyes:
 
Good Morning Gals!:)

Well....I checked in late last night so I don't have much to say this early in the morning;) I am trying to get the rooms cleaned up but DS is being DS and won't let me do anything. But hey, atleast I am getting to check in!:D

I am going for a run this a.m with my running partner. We will probably leave around 10'ish which gives me lots of time to get those rooms straightened out and beds made:rolleyes: The dog scoots from room to room every night so I never know which bed I am going to vacumm off in the mornings. Since when did I think dog fur was disgusting? I never use to be like that...but I guess after yrs of having the dogs live downstairs I got use to not seeing much of it. Before we moved here the 2 dogs had full run and what a mess my house was in. I would have to sweep 2x's a day. It isn't that bad now but I still have to do rooms once a day........

Jen** sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Do you think you hurt yourself when working out or just doing normal duties? Injuries are no fun. I haven't had one now in a long time "knock on wood!"! Hopefully it won't last long!

I will bbl to report my workout. Im not sure what I am doing all day, I think its suppose to rain after lunch!

Lori:)
 
Wendy** we checked in at the sametime! If we aren't starting the thread at the same time, then we are checking in at the same time!:p Yes....I was trying to rub it in your face;) Actually since after having DS the scale usually doesn't go up much more then 126 and when it does, something usually happens in my life that makes it magically disappear (like DS being in the hospital) Before having him though, I couldn't get below 128, I don't ever think I seen 127...I would eat good for 2 days then call it quits, telling myself I looked fine. Which I probably did. I think my shape as changed since having him.
Have fun walking to school! Don't kick any boys!

BBL!
Lori:D
 
LOL about kicking boys, Lori! :p I am in better shape post-baby then I ever was prior to getting pregnant myself but am having a devil of a time getting these few extra pounds off. Perhaps it's just not meant to be. *sigh* I eat well the majority of the time too! :rolleyes: Oh well. Like I said, I'm not unsatisfied with how I look these days. Just constantly striving for improvement. That's what keeps me motivated I suppose. :)

Well, almost time to head out! I want a few extra minutes to stop and get my coffee on the way! ;)

Wendy - Dang girl - only one car ? What a bummer for you. At least you'll get your extra steps in today, huh? Too bad you didn't have time to get the pedometer ! :p LOL you'll be back since you can't go anywhere ! Will you be able to get one of the cars fixed soon? Or are you stuck for a while?

Lori - what a running, walking, jogging Damage Controller you were yesterday ! Sounds like you have a busy day planned. Know whatcha mean about the dog hair - our dog hair mixes with the bird feathers ! :eek: All of a sudden a "floating pile of fluff" will get dislodged from somewhere that wasn't visible and start making it's way around the dining room. Never ending . . . Hope your run goes well.

Jen - Sorry about the "stitch". I have had a couple lately though not to the point where I couldn't sleep - thank goodness. I am up early this AM (4 to be exact) which is 2 hours early for me ! Today will be a tired day . . . :confused: Hope that your walking today will relieve it a bit. I have resorted to a heating pad a few times and it has helped.

Laura - Don't fret about the flight . . . Be like me - just hang on for dear life to the arm rests until you touch back down ! Kidding ! :D I get nervous with lots of turbulence but normally only take pretty short flights. You will be fine . . . I like the cosmo idea though . . . :rolleyes: You will have a blast of a time, just concentrate on that ! Hope work goes by quickly for you today.

Diana - haven't scrounged up permission to "visit us" again? LOL ! Hope you are having the time of your life with all your "kids" !

OK - off to lay down for a few minutes before I have to get up.

By the way - Did Providence last night ! Woo Hoo that was great ! I am so ready for a change from just lifting DB's and BB's. Am hoping this rotation will help my scale go down like the rest of you here ! :p

Well it took me about an hour to get Joey to school and get back home again. I missed a down pour by about 10 minutes! TG for small miracles! It was short but I would have been SOAKED had I gotten caught in it! :eek:

Jacque: Your rotation looks great! Very creative! Perhaps I'll have to print it out for future use! ;) You took the words right out of my mouth! I'm mad that I don't have the pedometer yet! I was going to wear my garmin but was in a rush this morning and forgot. Perhaps I'll remember to wear it this afternoon when I go to pick him up though. :) Glad you enjoyed Providence. I have the remake of that. It's a goodie for sure! :)
