Cathlete
Morning!

Last night I made whole wheat pasta, tossed in a bunch of fresh basil and then put some Pumpkin Pinto stew on top. Yu-hu-hummy!

It's raining like a bugger here today. Lucky for me I can be in my pajamas and not go out in it. http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/yay.gif

And today is Mooch, Cham, Yoyo and Lulu's birthdays! YAY! My babies are 1 year old.

I'm finished with my Upper Body Premix of MM and I'm also finished with ALL MY PROTEIN POWDER!!! http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/sad/sad0144.gif I hope that delivery comes soon! I....I won't be able to workout if I don't have protein powder! LOL.



ROBIN -

>He wants me to send you a picture of him. The one of him on the beach in St John in his itty bitty bathingsuit. Men!

What a cutie! I'm waiting with open eyes!

My friend said that she and her DH once did a real splurge vacation and went to one of those private islands where there are only a few other couples. And while she and her DH were relaxing on the beach, she saw Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in one of those eeny weeny rubber band bathing suits and it is now forever imprinted in her head.

>My cats eat what I give them or go hungry!

Lucky you. My cats eat what they want or go hungry. I throw away soooo much wet food you wouldn't believe it.

JENNIFER - Woo, lots of new stuff - fun!

Sorry to hear you had a rough day yesterday....sick and foot pain would certainly make for an unclear head! I hope you got some good rest and that your foot (and cold?) will be better today.

SHANNON -

>maybe you could use those tubs of whey protein as a foot rest or something.

LOL. That might actually be my only choice.

Glad to hear Mr. Lawnmower was able to be saved after all. Wow, it just occurred to me - how do you transport a lawnmower?

>She brought me a mole Saturday

See, now you indoor/outdoor kitties are so lucky. When I was growing up, I had three cats and they were very happy and healthy indoor/outdoor cats. But now that I live in the city in a small apartment, these guys have to stay in. I've got a lot of drive to find things that might be remotely thrilling to them. I'm apparently not doing a great job. I must work harder!!

What's that you say? Find a bigger apartment? Get an elliptical while I'm at it?

Cham's favorite game as of late is to destroy the homemade box & blankets window sofa perch I made. I bet she'd love to hunt a mole.

MICHELE -

>I was going to do Cathe's May rotation, but it's a little too ambitious for someone who's been recently employed in the maintenance of idleness.

LMAO! I'm off to check out that rotation after I finish up here.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I remember her having trouble where she works last year. Good for her for making efforts to find a new place. I hope you can cheer her and encourage her that she'll find a new place if she continues to look. I'll send good vibes!

>her class always scores well on the proficiency exams.

Man, you'd think they'd be treating her a whole lot better. Makes me angry.

>Based on rave reviews of our fellow forum members, I bought great big container of chocolate peanut butter whey and I HATED it! I tried one scoop in some yogurt and immediately threw the whole thing away -- the whole thing -- I threw it in the trash

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

http://bestsmileys.com/notlistening/2.gif

I didn't read that! I didn't read that!

But....but....but the one I got was chocolate peanut CARAMEL. THAT... that is going to make it super yummy. The caramel part.

>Who's the instructor in the 10-minute Solutions DVD? And is there a special one that's just for cardio? I might have to get it. I'm always looking for wimpy cardio options -- LMAO!

The instructor is Michelle Dozois. She's actually someone I find too saccharine, but in this DVD she's tolerable. I don't mean to be rude about someone I've never even met -- she's just not really my style as far as instructors go. This one is pretty much all cardio and it's definitely for the wimpy. Right up my alley!

(Oh, that reminds me, LOL, I'm glad to hear your pinky toe is doing better.)

http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/10-minute-solution-carb-and-calorie-burner-7356

Oh wow, there are a ton of 10 Minute Solution workouts. I didn't know that.

>But really, there's a little part of me that KNOWS he went heavy on the sap just to butter me up so I'd say yes to a MMGHH weekend getaway.

Now wait. Would you rather he 1) Suggest you go to MMGHH for a weekend, or, 2) Suggest you go to MMGHH for a weekend + go heavy on the sap. ?

>The doctor thinks his snoring could explain his weight gain and his blood pressure.

Wow, you'd think it was the other way around. I hope they can find something in the study. What do they do for a sleep study?

>I might become all rested, happy, and optimistic again

I'm sure your DH would feel tons better, too! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

You, Robin and Shannon are nuts LMAO. Dana and I will bullet speed walk over for fish when you're ready.

DANA -

>Gannon wanted PB&J so he is eating that right now.

Oh wow, I kind of wish I hadn't read that. That sounds totally good!

What's a sleep mask?

JEN - Love the photos! How cute that they're all sprawled out everywhere. Happy cats! Yay! And it sounds like you had a nice birthday. Chad's dinner sounded yummy!

Good luck with the overload of work and see you again soon!



Okay, I guess it's time for me to do work. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/sad030.gif

No, that's the wrong attitude.

Here I go to work! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/transport017.gif


Laters! :D
 
Hello Haters.

Yesterday was much better and today should be good too, always thinking positive here.

Tonight, back to Best Buy, then to do MM. Time to get back into it.

It's raining here now, better than snow.

This weekend, I plan to do Cardio. I'm feeling fat still.
 
Hi, Jennifer!

So glad you're feeling better. Yay!

Thanks for the congratulations! I just finished up having our birthday party. :) Actually, I was just going to give them some extra treats, but when I told my work partner that today is their birthday, he said, "Well, we have to celebrate that!" and he left work to come bring some cake and candles. :D I have the best work partner evah!

So did you have a good shopping time at Best Buy?

>This weekend, I plan to do Cardio. I'm feeling fat still.

LOL. I think we're all feeling that way these days.
(ETA : Except the cardio part. LOL)

Okay, back to work for a bit. :7
 
I'm not going anywhere right now -- it's pouring rain x(

I'm very pleased with myself today. I did my workouts and ate pretty clean (but not entirely clean }( ) for 2 days in a row http://www.kidcorral.ca/forum/images/smilies/geekdance.gif

AUG -- thanks for the link to that DVD. I viewed a clip and there's definitely some jumping in there. You know me -- I don't do jumping :p. I have one of Michelle's walking workouts and I know what you mean -- she's not really my style either. I've really come to appreciate Cathe's style -- she's serious, but not too serious, she's funny but not too funny -- she's just right, and not at all condescending.

Your pasta dish sounds YUM-O!! I was just thinking about making some sloppy and tossing it with WW fusili.

And while she and her DH were relaxing on the beach, she saw Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in one of those eeny weeny rubber band bathing suits and it is now forever imprinted in her head.

:eek: http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/shocked001.gif

What's that you say? Find a bigger apartment? Get an elliptical while I'm at it?

Awwwwww - what a sweetie he is!!

Thanks for the vibes for my sister. She's basically trying to transfer within the same school district. It's a small district with limited opportunities, but we're hoping the next position will be hers. I think her current boss has been intimidating and harassing her x( . She's been documenting everything and plans to report it.

The whole snoring/sleep apnea thing is like a vicious circle. DH has been snoring for years, but only recently started gaining a LOT of weight. The doctor surmises that a lack of quality sleep lowers metabolism which in turn causes you to gain weight, which in turn makes you snore more and develop sleep apnea. Anyway, he could really use your prayers and vibes, too. He's working way too hard and not getting adequate rest or exercise, and change will not come easy for him ;)

JEN -- I LOVED your pictures!! I'm sorry you're so busy, but glad that business is picking up, if that makes sense :p

JENNIFER -- I'm glad you're feeling better today, too.

DANA -- Yeah, DH will probably end up with a...a...oh crap, it's right on the tip of my tongue x( . But they don't really use masks any more -- they use a canula that fits in the nose.

There goes that dang phone! I'll BBL :* :* :*

ETA hey CUZ -- of COURSE you don't have to mow :7 .

Hey ROBIN! Your birthday is exactly 1 month minus one day from today, ain't it? :D

AUG -- have you tried a different flavor of canned food? I'd try several different flavors to see if there's one they prefer, and maybe stop the dry all together instead of mixing. Just an idea ;)
