Hello everyone.
II'm posting real quick because i don't want to wait to 11pm after I pick up after everyone. I have not worked out yet. It will be closser to 6 or 7 before i work out.
we are all doing better in our household with the exception of my DH. she has a sore throat. and hurt her arm yesterday @diving practice. she must of bruised it pretty bad because she can move it but can't lift anything . she is fine though.

Hi girls! Hope you are having a good day! It is really snowing here. Today I did HE, hi/low intervals, ugly w/o! Don't think I'll be reaching for that one too much! Veronika, hope your daughter is doing ok! Murphy, hope you are feeling better, just read something in the paper about going really light with w/o's when you're sick, if you w/o hard your immune system decreases and it takes longer to get better. Vilma, the plumber guy came today, put in the sink, 2 and half hours, I was watching the clock like a hawk! He didn't charge us for the last hour, Thank goodness! It looks really nice tho! Lisa, Are those bathrooms clean yet? Ronne I have some Patrick w/o's, they are fun and he always stays happy! Andrea, How was LM? My legs bothered me quite a few days after PLB. I started FF rotation a day early, I am having fun with it. Hi Kathryn! I hope that I didn't forget anyone! I have homework (kids), wash, dinner, cleaning, etc. Have a good night! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Just a quick post from me today. No workout today. I went to a funeral this morning (DH's friend), not someone who was very well-known to me but these occasions are always sad.

I don't want to bring everyone down but just wanted to pop in and say hello.

See you tomorrow.
 
Hello All,

Yes, I rested and yes I am feeling better. I am going to try a workout tomorrow and see how that goes. I also plan on re-doing my 1RM's starting next week. That should be fun. Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes and healthy vibes. Back at 'cha.

Hello all,
I am going to workout later. I am very frustrated with my computer. I am wanting to scan my daughter's homework to her tutor and can't seem to figure it out. I have been sitting here for at least three hours trying to figure this out. It is due tomorrow. I really did not think an online course could cause such havoc. So, I feel like I have wasted a afternoon and have not accomplished anything. I didn't even learn how to do it yet. I am waiting for a computer geek to call me and help me if he has time.
Thanks for listening.

Does anyone get as frustrated as I do with their computer?
 
Veronika, I wasn't planning on posting as I was just going to do a quick fly by. I couldn't resist commenting on your computer woes. I hate when my computer doesn't work, and I even was a technical person for a major computer company for 25 yrs! I found that the guys like to twiddle with their computers whereas the girls prefered their computer to just work so they could do their job. Thankfully, I have a very technical husband who keeps my computer up and running and I'm the one that figures out the software for the most part. Works for us.

well, while I'm here, my workout today was Low max premix 1-4 (I like the shorter low max workout because it isn't one of my favorites), and then I hopped on the treadmill for 20 min (felt instantly better and mood boosted ---I'm in major PMS mood time), and then took the dog for a 40 min walk. It's been ages since I walked her as it's been cold and windy here, and thankfully today it's nice before the next cold front. Did you guys see on the news the fires in Boulder, Colorado? Yep, that's near me, the winds have been awful this winter.

gotta get dinner going.....hellos to everyone else.
 
Quick stop-in

Hi! Swamped at work (and still haven't caught up on laundry!), but wanted to comment on two things:

1. Computer problems: Hate 'em! Frustrating! And worse than that, when I'm struggling with computer problems I'm not getting any work done! I sometimes envy companies with their own I/T department, but since we're a small business, DH & I are the I/T department!

2. LowMax: Used to hate it. Okay, "hate" is too strong a word! I used to dislike LowMax, but have come to enjoy it more and more as I have learned the steps. It's grown on me. Let's hope that DrillMax grows on me. Maybe it would if I ever did it!

Anyway, back to work for me. Hi to everybody!
 
Hey everyone, another quick fly by. I did 4DS legs and B&G floor and then took the dog for a walk. The walks the last 2 days have been great especially as a mood booster, hope the weather holds, although with it being winter, I doubt it.

Kathryn, you know I used to not like Drill Max, but that one is growing on me, maybe because it's "different" as in not another step workout. Low Max is still on my dread list, but I do think I like doing the premixes and then adding on a run so it's becoming less dreadsome with that set up.

Hellos to everyone else, are ya'll out there?
 
Hi everyone,
I wish my Dh liked tinkering with the computer. Then at least I could go to him. The guy is coming at 2 today to help me with my problem.

I have not worked out yet. I will do legs and abs later in the afternoon. as soon as tech guy leaves.
My sister went to Univ of CO in Boulder. We visited her and went skiing there or around there so I know about where you live Lisa. You are very close to those fires. Can you smell smoke and is it smoky? Or is the wind blowing in another direction?

My knees hurt from working out and they are crackling a lot. Yesterday I did Kick Max and I could feel my knees afterwards. I just want to make the noise stop. Anyone have any suggestions?
It is 78 degrees here and it is warm. I really am enjoying it. The problem is tomorrow it is suppose to get real cold.

Hello everyone

Just a quickie again today. I did the total body sculpt premix from LIC which was just what I needed. Felt nice and worked but not too heavy on the weights.

The builders haven't come back at all this week which has been great for me as I've been able to get so many workouts in. I'm feeling back to my pre-Christmas self again.

Hope everyone has a good weekend whatever they're up to.
 
Just a quick hello! Hope that you all have a great weekend, just running around here. Talk to ya later. Mary
