Hi girls!
I manged to workout over the weekend and todays workout was a mix n match legs followed by some yoga stretching.
I'm trying a new chinese herb/western nature premenstrual/menopause herb tablet. Been using for a couple of weeks and I think they just might be working. My night sweats have dimished, I am controlling those hormonal headaches with mild pain killers and my eating, while still no where near fantastic, is slowly getting better!
Heres hoping. You guys can check out the web site just google zentherapeutics. look at the Harmony, womens balancing formula.
Lisa - Hows it all going? One hell of a day for you last week, I hope you've allowed yourself some time to grieve too. I mean that in the nicest possible way. Its hard to put into written words sometimes. i hope that this has come across o.k.
Hi to Vilma, Rhondalyn, Mary, Murph, Kathryn and anyone else who checks in today. While your day is starting, my day is finnishing. See ya

Hi everyone. Well, today I did BM2, that's a long one! I haven't slept well for the last week. I've been up since 2:30 am! I've thought of Murphy doing DM at that time of night...I don't know how she did it!
Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The caring everyone has shown me means a lot.

Good morning ladies,
I tried Pump, Jump and Jab from the Firm this morning. It's the first Firm w/o I've bought in a long time. It was nice. Short and not too tough which is what I need sometimes.
Andrea, I hope the herbs continue to do the job and
make it tolerable, at least.
Kathryn, are you feeling any better?
This is a busy week for me but I hope to get in a short w/o every day. Thankfully, most of my work today is to be done at home.
Lisa, I sure hope you get some sleep tonight. That will wear you down quicker than anything.
DH woke me up this morning and I was dreaming I was in a hurricane.
I live nowhere near the coast.
Y'all have a great day!

Hi everyone! I did CC5 today....I never thought I'd love running like I do now. My knees are bothering me a bit--I think it was the 2 risers on Sunday with Cardio Fusion---don't think I'll try that again.
I did sleep better last night but still woke up early because of a headache and allergies. Went to bed at 8 and got up at 4:30, so that's a decent time sleeping.
Tomorrow is my first day of work so I will either take it as a rest day or do some UB work. The nutrionist is so sweet that she said, let's start at 10 so that you can get your workout in!
Rhondalyn, maybe with all the hurricane news that is why you had the dream. Has anyone ever screamed out in their sleep? For a while there last year I would and it would drive my DH crazy since it would wake him up.
Andrea, I find that I have various symptoms and never the same from month to month....hormone fluctuations are a pain! If you find a good answer I think you could make millions of dollars!
Hi to Kathryn, Vilma, Mary, Murphy, and anyone else I missed that follows! Have a great day all.

Hi everyone! I feel bad I have been so late in posting. We had the wedding this past weekend, which I should confess, My DH and I when we married 11 yrs. ago, had a civil ceremony, So this past weekend we married in the church, Our parents were so happy, b/c now we are "really" married! LOL!! Anyway, we had a ball, I was suprised at how emotional it was for both of us, I think it meant more this time around. We had a picnic reception and DJ, the kids were our maid of honor, best man and ring bearer, they looked adorable. If I can ever figure out how to post pics, I will. Then Mon. I woke up with a terrible head cold. I am a little irritable about it! Lisa, hope that you are sleeping better, you have had a lot of changes in your life recently, maybe that is affecting your sleep? Have fun tomorrow, hope you love your job! Hello, to Rhondalyn, Kathryn (I blame you for this cold! HA!), Andrea, Vilma and anyone else I may have forgotten! Mary

LISA- I forgot to say, My hormones play up each month too, different symtpoms, but I do have the "regular" ones, headaches, moodiness, night sweats, overeating and cravings, breakouts, the "can't be bothereds".
I know I go on and on about it, but I "feel the need"to vent to you guys (sorry) as You are all my age and have similar things or have been through it already. So thanks and I will be continuing to complain to you all about it!

This may sound weird but my "breakouts" mostly occur on my head so thankfully my hair covers them but they hurt sometimes! There, now that I've said that, I'll get one on my face for sure now.
I've wondered if it was something in my diet to cause the fluctuations from month to month, but I've never been able to pinpoint it down to anything.
Andrea, feel free to vent....we are all in the same boat and totally get it.

HI everyone,
Today I did the last of the TLT's I planned to do this week and now the rest of the week will be Cathe dvd's. My eating has been okay. I have been eating two bags of those 100 calorie snacks each day. I should probably just eat the snack I want and be done with it.

Hi everyone....I was gone all day but it looks like so was everyone else! Anyhoo....I did an UB workout with Kbells doing the UB parts from Keith Weber and KBell way dvds.
My first day at the nutrionist went fine. She sells supplements, protein powder and nutrition bars too. I hope I don't end up spending all the money I make! She also told me that she will do a free consultation for me too. I go in tomorrow to finish up learning what all she needs me to do daily/weekly/monthly so hopefully after that I can set my own hours.
Murph, those 100 calorie snacks aren't that great for you, are they? They are just small portions of the same stuff that is bad for you. I bought them once (probably because of the advertising on biggest loser) and realized that it was stupid to pay that much for individual things and for things that aren't really good for you. I'm not trying to preach, just giving you my opinion.
Later girls....

Hi everyone,
We are showing the house today so instead of exercising this morning I cleaned. I will have to do a double or extra sessoin tomorrow so that I don't feel guilty for not getting anything in today. Wish us luck.
Lisa - no problem, I did not feel like you were preaching. I actually bought them for my DD (3 1/2) but she wasn't eating them. I decided I would eat them for when I wanted something bad. I figure a little bad is better than a lot of bad but it does not seem to work out that way, at least not for me. I need to find a healthy snack that I can keep at the office and not worry about it going bad, like fruit.

Good morning girls,
I'm not exercising today but wanted to stop by to say hi and to thank all of you for sending your nasty little germs my way because I feel like I have a Brillo pad stuck in the back of my throat right now. I'd insert appropriate smileys but Yuku is down for maintenance.
Congrats, Mary! I agree with Andrea. Pics please.
Big waves to Lisa, Murph, Vilma, Kathryn and Andrea and everyone else. I'm not planning of doing too much today because I have a lot to get done tonight and tomorrow.

Struggling back ...
I'm finally getting back on my feet after the cold (that turned into a sinus infection) that I got from my 8-year-old DD!
I managed to get through Step Blast today, but it's always so discouraging to have to take off a whole week due to illness or injury. I feel like I'm back to square one.
However, I'm thankful it was only one week. It could have been worse!
I hope everybody has been healthy and keeping up with your workouts!
