Damage Control in February Thursday

Lori: When I don't see a thread already started I will start one but if I am typing personals and such it will take me a little while. I can't tell if someone is already in the midst of starting one if they haven't posted it yet so y'day you were probably just about to hit "post" with yours when I checked, saw no thread so started typing mine up. Sometimes I will open up a new window and double check that the thread hasn't been started in the meantime before I hit "post" but lots of times I don't cause it's too much trouble. :p All that being said, this is why often times I start it with a quick hello and then type my "novel" in the next post. :)

No scale yet. *sigh* I will get one today though, I swear! :rolleyes:

Laura: OMG your DH is tops! No wonder why you give him so much *ahem*. LOL I have a bf scale too and it measures my weight lighter then my other scale but measure my bf% higher then my omron. Go figure. :rolleyes:

Jacque: I hear ya on the cramps. They are paralyzing! :eek: I will let you know if the scale purchase is the solution to my mystery weight gain which still hasn't gone away, btw. :mad: My sister has 6 kids and has never lived closer then a 2 hour drive from my mom. When she had her first 2 she lived in VT! Now she lives in upstate NY which is better but my mom still doesn't get to see the kids as often as she'd like. I stayed local and probably always will though so she's gotten to see my son pretty much every single week since the day he was born. Perhaps she is now secretly happy that the other GKs live so far away! :p:D

OMG look at the time! Gotta go eat my oatmeal and get DS ready for school!

BBL!
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I didn't have such a great night last night. DS as the cold so he ended up sleeping with me, DH slept on the couch so DS and I didn't have the greatest night. I didn't get to sleep in the position I normally sleep cause that meant I would have had my back turned to him and with such a high bed...I wouldn't want him to roll out again!:eek: He woke about 3 x's but his breathing was very rattled which made it hard for me to get to sleep.

Not to mention...that my toothache is gone BUT my cheek is now swollen:eek: I must have an infection, I have an apt to see my dentist in an hour. Hopefully wil prescribe me something and send me home!:)

Wendy** You don't have to explain your posting routine to me!;) Its all in good fun...unless you were really mad at me:p

I will return later. My workout will be done this afternoon while DS naps, he as to have a nap today!

Lori:)
 
Lori: No, not mad at all. :) Sorry DS kept you up. Hopefully you can catch a nap at some point today. Good luck with the dentist!
 
Hi Ladies,

Yesterday I took a que from Wendy and Lori and made up my own w/o. I did HST cardio and 1RM's for the weight work-alternating back & biceps. I still have shoulders and legs left to do and a few more b&b but expect to be all done on Saturday. This morning will be Imax 3, lookin' forward to it.

I went shopping at lunch for some new jeans. I tried on about 15 pairs, no-not kidding and only bought 1. I hate that most jeans gap in the back on me or are too tight in the thighs. I have a couple pair of Luck jeans that I love but need to tighten up the belly a bit so I feel comfortable in them again.

Wendy-sorry about the scale issues. I've been having some stomach issues so have been eating soup more frequently and have lost about 4 of the 5lbs I had gained. I also think picking up the cardio is helping too.

Wendy-You are so fortunate to live near family so Joey can be close with his grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. I cannot imagine having 6 kids-that would be way to stressful for me to handle.

Lori-sorry ds isn't feeling well. I hope he feels better soon so you can have a good nights rest.

Jacque-I'm trying to plan my next visit to see my grandbaby girlies. It will probably be over memorial weekend, but I would also like to go in April. I don't think dh will approve 2 trips so close together. I plan on finishing up the 1RM's on Saturday and will be ready to start STS on Monday!

Laura-Wow, you have a keeper! DH obviously understands how upsetting your Aunts actions are. Sounds like a rest/recover day is definitely in store for you.

Mornin' Ang, Jen, Shirl and Dee Dee.

Gotta start my w/o or else I be runnin' late for work.
 
Morning Ladies!!!

I am feeling better today .. not hurting anywhere .. and my attitude is a bit better too (nock on wood) .. a couple of my friends went out for a couple CABS after work .. and they were cracking me up .... they agreed DH DID GOOD!!! :D bless his heart .. even after almost 23 years he is still a keeper!!!

Today is STS disc 5 - bis and back :) .. errrrrr .... I will be complaining after lunch!! LOL looked at the w/o card and YIKES :confused: I will be FRIED after this disc!!! Tonights class is plyo/light weights/yoga-pilate based matt exercises and core work!!! aahhhh .. might as well make EVERYTHING sore!! LOL

Wendy and Lori .. you two crack me up w/the beginning the daily post quest .. I am just glad you girls get up early so it is here when I make it to the boards .. keep up the good work!

Wendy .. that is weird your scale does the opposite of what mine does!!! LOL .. maybe you will find a good one today!!

Lori .. sorry you had a bad night .. that makes for a long day today .. was hoping DS wouldnt get the cold .. sorry he did . poor baby!!!

Di .. YAYAYAYA on starting STS next week .. I am REALLY enjoying this program . . it is set up so well .. the music is perfect .. the instruction is of course the best .. and the flow is what I like most about it. I have a friend that is one disc ahead of me.. she always warns me what is in store for me .. has me skeeered for next week's disc :confused:

Jacque .. I am releived that my family is not taken in by evil aunt .. after all THEY are the ONLY ones that matter to me .. I still cant believe that a person I have always looked up to and admired is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY NOT what and who I thought they were ... it is really sad!!!

Hello to ANG, Jen, Shirl and DeeDee .. missing you girls .. I have not even seen any of them on the boards anywhere .. Ang I know you are busy .. check in and let us know where you are on STS if you can .. hope you are loving like I am!!!

OK .. off to tackle the stack of paperwork calling my name!! Have a great day!! It is beautiful here .. SUNSHINE and going to get up to 70 .. oohhhhh .. getting the spring fever bug!!! :D
 
Ready for work a bit earlier so popping in for a Good Morning Ladies !

Wendy - I have so many people say - good thing the GK's aren't closer - I don't think it would bother me ! :p May someday find out? Awaiting the scale purchase to see I you'll enable me ! HA HA HA !:rolleyes:

Lori - Here's one of those "stories" - an employee had a toothache, the dentist gave him pain pills, later that week he was in the hospital with an infection in his brain. PLEASE make sure you feel whatever the doc gives you is working ! If you think it is an infection and not going away, go again. Horrid story, but just wanted to warn you as this happened last November.

Hope your appt went well - and that DS takes a nap ! :p

Diana - OK - 1 RM's done by Sat will be my plan too - and what will you be doing for cardio? Can you figure out a way to save a few extra $ to make the two trips? Or perhaps the second trip could be a Mother's Day gift?

Laura - one thing I learned as my elders grew older: many seem to get grumpier and have nothing to really get up in the morning for. I have seen a few get "crazy" with things because they really have nothing else to live for. Maybe you can remember why you looked up to her when she was younger and chock this recent issue up to "growing old"? Trust me, I felt so bad for my step mom when my Dad was nearing the end. He was a PITA ! and could be very mean to her ! She and I would chat and I'd try to make her feel better letting her know I completely understood.

OK - done with that insight ! Have a wonderful day ladies ! I'll be gone until after work today as I'm heading to another site this AM.
 
Hey Girls.

Well I went to Kohls all geared up to buy buy buy and the ONLY thing I came home with was the scale! This always happens! I am in the mood to shop, have the $$ and can't find squat but otherwise there are TONS of things I want! :mad:

I tried to go to Walgreens to buy batteries for my old scale but they were closed. WTH!?? When I came home I put the scales side by side and weighed myself. The new one weighed me about pound lighter then the old one give or take. That's not a big deal either way. What sold me on keeping the new one though is that I tried it with all combos of the batteries I had (old from other scale and the new one it came with) and the weight never changed. My old scale kept reading different weights.

So I have pretty much decided to begin CLX a couple days early which means tomorrow instead of Sunday. I will take all of my stats in the morning to see where I'm starting CLX at and what the current rotation has done for me. That being said, I can't do the work out I had planned on for today so I'm deciding between things like UML, Core Syn and BBC Total Body work out. The key is doing a work out that is mostly body weight exercises which all of those are. Core Syn uses very light weights in a few spots but that's no big deal.

Gotta go for now but I'll be back with personals later on!

Ciao!:)
 
Hi Ladies:)

Its been a rather busy day here...all Dr related stuff:mad: Not really what I want to be doing on my day off...oh well!

Dentist says I have an infection (btw why is everything dental related so uncomfortable? Even xrays hurt!) And I also need a root canal:confused: Not surprised! BUT he can't do it b/c my roots are in a "S" shape...so I have to wait for a referral to see a specialist and probably pay a arm and a leg to get that done....not to mention driving into the city and back! He said "oh, making a shopping trip out of it" I told him that I wouldn't have any money left!:eek: So I have the antibiotics to clean up the infection and hopefully no more toothache.(for now anyway)

Then I had to take DS to the Dr b/c he isn't feeling well. All he really said was that it was to early to tell what the cough was going to turn into, so he wrote me a perscription and said if he isn't better in a couple of days, to fill it.

THEN......I finally got some much needed ME time! Put DS down for a nap and I went for a nice 50 mins run outside.

I forgot to tell you guys that my boss called me yesterday and wasn't very happy with me. Actually, it wasn't even my fault...thats the thing that pisses me off. I did nothing wrong but things weren't going his way yesterday so when the last thing went wrong, guess who got the blunt of it!? Yepper...me! I was sooo rotted when I got off of the phone b/c he as never spoke to me like that before and he won't ever again. The next time he uses that tone with me I am going to tell him to take my job and shove it! I don't mind being told when I am in the wrong but I did nothing wrong. So yesterday was when I had my bright moment of "you know what"? I own this man nothing, and he as done nothing for me. If I want to go to work with DH then I will...and I am not going to feel one bit bad about leaving him high and dry! PR*CK!

Wendy** Guess you got yourself a new scale! Ohhhh...and you one lbs lighter! Sounds like a keeper!!! Good job with your workout. Hope your stats are good!

Laura** Got your friend request;) Now you can snoop at all my pics!:) Glad to hear you are having a better day today.

Jacque** Thats a horrible story! I wouldnt have been able to leave this for very long. To much pain and to uncomfortable.

Diana** I hate buying new jeans! I use to love it but now i just hate trying on clothes in general. I think I need a personal shopper:) someone to tell me what I am suppose to wear for my shape! LOL

We have supper plans to night with my sister and her hubby...hopefully my teeth will chew up my food!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
:confused: Just reporting disc 5 done .. :eek: :confused: YES I am FRIED .. errrrr .. I have planks on tap for tonight's class .. man I hope my arms can hold the old bod up after that w/o today .. YIKES!! SIL was cussing me the entire workout .. LOL .... Cathe is a MACHINE!!!!

Lori .. I saw you on Wendy's friend list .. thanks .. I dont get on there often as I would like to .. .your pics are great .. your wittle one is a heartbreaker huh?? Just a super cutie patootie!!!! So sorry he is sick .. and sorry your tooth is giving you fits .. man .. just listening to your words were like finger nails on a chaulk board for me .. I DESPISE the dentist .. and a reg. root canal is NOT fun .. cant imagine what you are gonna have to go thru .. but oooo tooth pain .. that is one pain that is nervewracking. I have had 4 root canals in my life time .. and I am NOT a good patient .. give me the laughing gas or I am not having any of it .. LOL .. I have to have the gas to get the shot and not freak out at the drill sound (had a very bad experience w/a tooth coming alive while the drilling was being done :()!!! Hope both you and your son get to feeling better!!!

hey .. IA tell the boss to take a hike .. the JERK .. man what a dang day you are having ... toothache .. infection .. DS is sick .. then your boss calls and is a PR*CK to you .. all on your day off :( poor thing!!!

OK .. one more hour and hoping my arms will recover enough not to drop me on my head tonight .. LOL!!!! Have a great one!!:D
