Morning everyone,

As I think Nina mentioned yesterday, I don't think it's my calf muscles that are sore. It's more like a shin splint in the side of my calf. Does that make sense? Anyway, no cardio for me today and I was all set up to do push pull but just turned it off. I don't feel super well and think I've pushed myself enough recently. We leave for Disney tomorrow and come back Sunday night. So, that should give me sufficient (exercise) rest. Hopefully I'll be back in action on Monday morning. We leave 2 weeks from today to go to the states! I can't believe how quickly it's all coming!

Well, our toy room is a disaster and I need to get some laundry started and get us packed for our trip this weekend.

What are you guys doing this weekend? Hope it's a good one!!
 
Angie rest up for your trip. Don't want to be sore.

Work to 12 noon today. YAY :D My suprv must have had a bug up her butt yday. It's a good thing that I did not pull her name out of the Christmas grab bag because if I did she would get 2 sticks and a rock for Christmas.


Have a nice day ladies.
 
Angie, Smart to rest yourself! Really work the flexibility of your feet while you're away. Flex and point your toes and feet REALLY HARD. You need yourself some Classical Stretch!;):D
Have a WONDERFUL time @ Disney!

--

We have date night tonight! IT's a swanky Cmas party we go to every year. I have absolutely zero to wear and no time to go shopping so yuck to that. MIL & FIL are coming over to watch the kidlets. I hope Julia does ok. The big girls are so excited!

Saturday is a normal one - swim class & errands.
Sunday is church and then we're having potluck here for A TON of people. And then we have 2 birthday parties to go to! I am going to be SO TIRED at the end of all of that!

I'm meeting w/ a dr now and there's so much that I want to tell you gals about it. We're doing some things that I'm really excited about. But I can't say anything here.:( There's a certain person we know who likes to come here and be nosy and read about us.:mad: I'll try to make some time to PM you all.

I've got some errands to fo today and Isabel has a drs appt. SHe has a toe that curls under all the other toes. The ped when she was born said ot would sttraigthen out and it's actually worse. So here we go!:rolleyes: Hoping htey don't say surgery but I don't know how else it would get fixed.

Better go wake my Gina girl.

CLEANEST OF THE CLEAN EATS!!!!!!

Uhhhh, what??? I was unaware of this...

Circumstances changed yesterday and I didn't make it to the gym, so I did my second workout at home - STS legs. Tempo run this morning (increased speed every 5 minutes, HR between 70-85%) and it felt great. I'm not that sore from STS Legs - yet:eek:

This weekend is filled with fun stuff - Collin is going to church tomorrow for a birthday party for Jesus while Chris works and I got meet with my trainer. There is snow in the forecast (YAY!) and we are doing family pictures, x-mas shopping, church, basketball for Collin, decorating....

Hope everyone has a fab day!
 
Katie, WTG w/ the double!! Awesome job!
You guys have a full weekend ahead too! Lotsa deep breaths for both of us!:)
Hope the fam pics go well! I'm *still* waiting to see ours - guess I need to email her..... There's a new photog in our town - I might try him out w. Cmas pics of the girls.

There's snow all over the ground and its freeeeeeeezing out! Wish we had a snow day!!! Or at least a 2-hour delay!:D:p
 
kate, ditto what katie said - what's up?? busy busy weekend for you - i aam tired just reading about it.

katie, great wo. you sound really good:) what are you doing with you trainer? that is so cool to have a personal trainer.

robin, yea for a short day. what is on tap this afternoon?

angie, maybe you need to see a doc? any concerns with a stress fracture? feel better and have fun at disney. where will you be for christmas?

i had such a great run this am, despite the rain. it was cool and i went long. i need to fit in legs and abs later, but we will see. i have so much to catch up on from yday, but must prioritze:p dh and i were supposed to christmas shop yday - not sure when we will do it now. eats were so clean yday - must keep it that way today. i also need to sort out a baby sitter for a few dates coming up before dh goes.

my boys are so sweet and cuddly today. i just want to gather them up and hold them close, all day long! bbiab
 
Happy Friday!

Tonight is date night!:) We were supposed to go out with some of my friends from high school. It doesn't look like that's going to pan out but we're still going to do something. I think I may do some shopping today-Nevena stayed the night at my parents' house:) I have legs on tap-and maybe a little extra cardio since my weight is up 2# this morning:( Tomorrow is full of birthday parties and Sunday we're putting up our tree and decortating the house-finally, right?;)

Angie, I think a break is a good idea. You've been pushing hard for the last few weeks and your body needs a rest. Enjoy your weekend!

Robin, LOL! Have you ever thought about being a comedian-you'd be great!

Kate, yay to date night! Have a wonderful time! I hear your clothing dilemma-that's my life! Hope Isabel's dr. appt goes well. And I'm very intrigued by your mysterious post-can't wait to hear all about it! We have no snow here at all-can I say I'm glad cause then Darrin would have to be gone even more.

Katie, holy busy weekend! I'm tired just reading it all. What did you decide to wear for pics? Great workout!
 
Hi Nina! I haven't even begun my Christmas shopping-good thing we only for the kids:) Maybe that's what we'll do tonight-go out to dinner and go shopping. And then go out for a drink! So funny-I'd have stopped at the run! You are amazing! Your comment about the boys makes me miss Nevena even though I think she needed a break form us. She was so excited to go to my mom and dad's. When I was hugging her good bye yesterday she said, "Let's go! I need to get out of here!":)
 
klaudia, your posts made me laugh. little nev - needs to get out of here! i can only imagine what my guys say when i am out the door:p great wo last night by the way. i do not think i could ever work out after 7 pm. even when dh is gone, there is no motivation.

legs and core done! finn is touching my back with his cold hands - eek! need to get them outside.bbiab
 
Good Morning Everyone! I am all packed and ready to leave work. There is a lunch for me at 11:30 and I am turning in everything before then so I can leave straight from lunch. I always start bawling at the goodbye part so it's better if I just go home. This weekend I am going to start Cmas shopping, enjoy the snow and prepare for my new job on Monday (they have given me some things to read over). Workout was LIC (with the bonus cardio) since I pigged out at dinner last night. I would like to run this afternoon but I didn't sleep well last night and I think I will collapse when I get home.

Kate, what is wrong with people? Enjoy your date night tonight.
Klaudia, I thought I was the only who hadn't started shopping. I guess you will get started before me.
Nina, good job running in the rain. I always lose motivation when it rains.
Katie, I am excited about the snow this weekend too!
Robin, you are so funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Angie, rest your calf and do the exercises Kate suggested. Have fun at Disney.
 
Hey ladies

well my suprv said sorry for acting up yday. She told me that she has tendinitis and the steroid shot is no longer working and that she need a hysterectomy. So why didn't she just say that she was sick? One of my pet peeves is a suprv who abuses her power. Anyway it's the weekend.


Angie I'm with Kate you need some classical stretching.:D

Kate I hope Isabel toes get better without surgery.

Katie please don't send that snow down here.

Nina you ran in the rain? You should hold them all day long.

(((Colleen))) it's so hard to leave. Cry-on if you have to.

Klaudia you haven't started yet??? BTW those boots are 50% off and there will be a 15% discount coupon this weekend.

Afternoon plans maybe some oven fried chicken and a movie.

tomorrow there is a basketball contest at the YMCA, my son want to try it

No surgery for Isabel! Dr said let it be until/if it ever bothers her. yay for that!
lunch out and I have been whistly clean all day!
sadly, no WO and it wont happen today. sigh....

Nina, Sounds ike you are in a good place right now! Glad your run was good!
I don't buy the teachers anything....Cmas just seems like a giant money pit to us. And seriously, how many "best teacher" mugs can they store?:eek:

Klaudia, Full weekend for you too! Makes 'em go by too fast! WAH!:p Enjoy your date night tonight!!!

Colleen, Thinking of you and your last day!!! Bittersweet, I;m sure! I hope the new job is a great one!

Robin, Sorry for boss-drama. Puke.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
kate, yea no surgery!! such a hard thing to explain to little ones. i totally agree christma is a money pit. i do not want to be the only parent, though... and each kid has 2 teachers.... i am in a good place, mostly. except for eating too much:mad: not sure what to do right now with all the stress. i am not binging, just eating more than i need, though it is 95% good stuff. any tips? for instance, breakfats was too big, so i skipped snack, then ate too much lunch. i am full for the rest of the day, but i still need dinner, you know? sigh. at least i did not make the cookies i wanted to (knowing i'd eat wayyyy too much batter) or make the meat balls!

robin, ikwym. i hate people that abuse power and do not have the respect to be straight forward.

klaudia, i am loking at boots too, though i just want to the knee boots - cannot pull off anything higher;) date night sounds so good. we are trying for that on monday

so, my parents have a mediation scheduled for their divorce on dec 11th. it will only be about money, which is so stupid! they both have enough, so it just comes down to control and bitter feelings. i hate it:( dh leaves on the 15th, and i know my mom will be a wreck before, during and after. and each time i distance mysellf, she says something mean about not having respect for her or meeting her needs or being like my father. meanwhile, my dad leads the most selfish existance. yes he loves his grandkids, but really, only in between taking the girlfriend to ny and having christmas eve and morning with her instead of me and the kids. whatever. and if i call him on his behavior, he blames ME for not wanting to meet or be around her. what cr#$! anyways, sorry for the senseless rambling. i am taking a few days off from both of them.!

i too have not started christmas shopping. we are leaving shortly to meet dh at the navy exchange for a look around:) i did 30 min of pushups and body weight drills, just cause i wanted to:pbbl
 
hey nina! im sure you wont be the only non-gift-giver. and that would be 4 gifts!!! $$$$$$$$
your meal dilemma is the daily story of my life! wish i had some advice.
sounds ugly btwn your parents. blech. be like me & pretend youre an ostrich.:p easier said than done, i know!
your wo sounds wonderful.
and no cmas shopping here either! id better get on that!
 
Workout is done-the butt portion of B&G:) Dropped off Danica to her friend's for a b-day sleepover at at water park-kinda nervous about it. I know she'll be fine, but that's a mama for you. Gonna shower and meet my parnets half way to drop off Milla then the fun begins-if you call dinner and Targeting fun:)

Nina, I hate doing it but I usually get gift cards for the teachers for Christmas and flowers/plants for the end of the year. And this year both girls have student teachers
and Milla has her speech therapist, reading specialist, and para pro. On second thought...
Sorry about the crazy fd! Parents can be so juvenile! You're doing the right thing, just stay strong and don't let them suck you into their mess. The boots I wanted from JCP are gone!:( Probably a good thing-I don't think I'd have ever worn them. I have this imaginary life where I live in the city and go to cool places and have a great wardrobe, but then I wake up!

Colleen, hope the lunch wasn't too terrible sad for you. Think of it as a new beginning not the end-look at all the promise ahead!

Robin, haven't bought one thing-except for a bath sheet with the words "The Man" embroidered on it for Darrin-he mentioned it one day in a rant and I got it as a joke:) What movie! The YMCA thing sounds fun!

Kate, what are you wearing tonight? Have a great time-take pics!
 
Well I survived lunch with no tears! I don't mind crying but I don't like doing it in front of my coworkers. I have not done much with my extra time this afternoon except talk to my sister about what we are getting for my mom. I guess that counts as Cmas shopping prep.

Klaudia, sorry about the boots. Enjoy your night out if it is just dinner and shopping.
Kate, great news about Isabel! I am not a mama but the baby carrier is adorable!
Robin, so strange about your boss. Are you off this weekend?
Nina, so sorry about the family drama. I don't have any advice on the eats either. I am struggling with that too. I need to figure something out so I don't wake up on New Years 10 pounds heavier.
