40's - APB for missing 40's

4DS Bootcamp cardio only, skipped last drill and added 2nd 1/2 of HIIT DWP, that was much more fun! Of to the office today, I actually have work to do, I'm sure I'll still have a boring part of my day.

Ronne, hope DD feels well soon! So funny how you guys can't decided on units of measure. I thought we were just rubbing off on you! Stupid question, what is imperial? I don't even know what we call ours (maybe I'm having a senior moment).
 
Lisa - Imperial is inches, pounds, miles etc. It's what we traditionally had in this country till the early 1970s and then we went metric, but not completely hence the complete muddle!
 
Good Morning,

Tonite for me is CLX Lean Phase 2 mostly upper back, shoulders and legs but all exercises involve the core. Its cold and windy here today but at least the sun is shining. DH and I had another fight about moving last night lets just say we haven't spoken much.

Lisa-I forget what our system is called to. Good job with the workouts.

Ronne-I could never figure out the metric system and how to convert it to our system of course I can't do fractions either. I hope DD feels better tomarrow.
 
Ronnie, I hope dd is better soon. Huddled on the couch sounds like the best way to spend sick day.
Roxie, moves, financial and new family members among the most stressful events we can experience, good luck with it all. I think you like to know. I tend to dislike the commitment but up in the air is most stressful of all.
Lisa, I think it is great that you have a job where you can also work from home, even if you either call it boring or stressful. Hope dh ears improve.
Ronnie (again), dd more serious about editing or something like that. She has no heart for sciences and it really isn't her thing. I may need to pm you for ideas.
Mary, one test down, one more to go. I need to study pharm tomorrow, its an area I can actually learn new things. When is Vegas?
New cat now caterwauls 2 to 3 times a night, jumps on all counters. I can see why she was rejected by her former family.
Murphy, am I the only one skipping all workouts?
 
Getting ready to do STS Meso3 SH/BI/TRI. My back between my shoulder blades started hurting again yesterday, didn't sleep well, feel blah, ipod froze up, gee what else can go wrong?

Jody, I laid awake last night trying to figure out what the problem is with my job, is it just the way I approach it? Came up with nothing. The work is boring and substandard (imagine getting requirements that say "I want something like x", you give them x, they come back, they really wanted x and y, you make changes, they come back, gee I really meant I wanted x, y, and z. Maybe I think too black and white (it's the programmer in me). I don't like the people, they have no personality and seriously, if you've been in the country for a decade you really should understand cultural differences! Environment---everyone too scared about losing their job so they just sit there with head down ALL DAY, easy to be scared when the manager that holds your fate sits 2 desks down. Then next cube over, you hear all day what you think is talking but you can't make a word because of the accents....mumbles. Add that this job has gotten devalued over the last decade because of 3rd world countries coming into the market accepting less pay, so lets hire 5 of them to one of US. Haven't seen raises in this industry for at least a decade, in fact I make less than I did 10 yrs ago. Forget that they can't communicate we don't communicate anyway. So, yesterday I was fed up with it all (ok I've been fed up), I have to sit by the @#$#@ printer and the @#$@#$ elevators, foreigner comes up says, Lisa, what is going on with the printer? I replied, I'm not the printer operator I have no idea. I wanted to say, just because I have to sit next to this noisy thing and put up with all the traffic doesn't mean I monitor it and am here to help you with printer issues, I DON'T EVEN PRINT ANYTHING! Ok, I think I'm pumped up to push some iron now, I should never have gotten started. And if pumping iron doesn't work I could just get mellow with smoking pot since it's legal here now, oh wait, companies are now doing random drug tests all because of pot being legalized. Who thought legalizing this was a good idea? Now I'm subject to more drug tests, thank you pot smokers.

Good Morning,

Tonite for me is CLX Burn It Off and Ab Burner.

Lisa-sounds like and interesting place to work.

Jody-I am one that likes to know what is going on and I need to give my bosses and exact date.
 
Hi all

Lisa - yikes! go pump some iron and get it out of your system! One question on the pot, are they allowed to breathalyse you as well? Presumably, if alcohol is legal they can test for that as well? (I don't agree with companies being allowed to do invasive tests, not unless it's for jobs that put people's lives at risk.)

Jody - good to see you. Yeah, PM any time you want I'm happy to help. Good luck with the tests.

Roxie - what are you clearing out today?

Did a Tracy Anderson Cardio DVD and then yoga abs from Ab Circuits - got interupted twice with deliveries so gave up on the last 5 minutes of abs! DD back at school, trying to get through work. Piling up a bit for Christmas.
 
ok, I'm back, it sure didn't seem like I was lifting heavy, as an example, I could have done 50 lb bb curls (I did 47 lb).

Jody, I assume cat is fixed? Seems I remember our female still caterwalling(however you spell it) even after she got spayed in her early years but she did calm down, she didn't do it all the time but she did quiet down a lot after getting her spayed.

Roxie, I'm a planner too and need to have a plan, maybe you and DH can meet in the middle somehow?

Ronne, what did you get delivered? anything good? This whole pot thing is nebulous. It's still a federal offense but is legal in Colorado and Washington, however, companies are saying it will not change their hiring practices, most require drug tests. My job requires a drug test only if I work on an account that requires them, and you can be put on an acct at anytime that requires a drug test (is how it was put to us in my company)....I sensed a threat in there. DS's company will now do random drug tests. So yea, you can go buy pot at the local corner pot store but you could still lose your job over it. Crazy, stupid. I support the medical pot uses, in fact I'm thinking that PMS should qualify as a medical necessity to use pot....LOL I think it's my hormones that really have me crabbing right now. That and the stupidity I see all around me, at work, in the state gov (legalizing pot), in the federal gov (the fiscal cliff)......so much that affects me that I have no control over, oh wait,there I go, the control freak in me :)
 
Ronne-still killing time on the file cabinet and then I need to get oxygen tanks tagged and put away.

Lisa-that is how I feel right now I have no control over my life and I don't like it.
 
Roxie, maybe we should put our head in the sand, seems to work for some, at the very least maybe I need to quit watching the news.

Ronne, wth happened with that nurse? I've not heard many details but can't imagine someone taking their life over a radio host prank call (though I can empathize with the situation she must have been put in ).

Seriously I need to quit watching the news!
 
Lisa-I don't watch the news its to depressing. I finally got DH to commit to a last day for me so December 28th ends another pay period and then I am finished here so maybe he is now commited to moving.
 
30 min Jog/walk today, yea! Tomorrow is Last final and class til next semester.
Lisa, sounds like the only thing you can fix with the job is how you handle it.
Wish me luck tomorrow, I'll tell you why later if things go well.
Roxie, try to find some pockets of serenity in the chaos.
Ronne, I hope to get back to you over break. dd about to become an English major.
Cat not spayed, surg is 21st.
good night, ttyl
 
my hunny is home, all is right with the world now :)

Yea Jody on the w/o! Good luck tomorrow (that is as long as you aren't robbing a bank or anything) lol

Hi all

Jody - woo-hoo, you're almost done! I bet you're going out with a boy!!

Lisa - the inquest into the nurse's death is happening at the moment. It's just dreadfully sad. She was married with kids.
BTW, I'm vvvv impressed with your bb curls. I never do more than 30lbs!!

Roxie - glad you've got a date!

Planning to do some yoga today - think I can give it a go. All getting a bit manic here with loads to do. Going to get our Christmas tree this weekend, also got some Christmas baking to do and a little bit of shopping and lots of cleaning!

Have fun and keep warm!
 
Did S&G cardio only then did 1.5 miles on elip, I meant to only do 1 mile, but a song came on that I had to listen to, by the time that was over I was at 1.35, so had to round it off!

Ronne, don't be too impressed, since it is meso 3 it is only for 8 reps. My tri's were sore this morning, did those with 17 lbs (extensions (overhead and cross body)? That's what my sheet had, otherwise I wouldn't have believed I've done that much before. I did a little Christmas baking, as I was rolling out the cookie dough, I noticed a couple lumps of white plastic, WTH? my spatula must have been old, it broke off in the dough in pieces, hoping I got most of them out but yesterday I had a couple cookies and found a couple of smaller pieces that was not detectable to the eye, gosh I hope no one but me or DH finds the cookies with plastic pieces :confused:

Feeling much better, I think I just needed a good vent, I think the most irritating thing is the re-work, then everything else just adds fuel to the fire.....
 
Good Afternoon,

What in the hell is wrong with people in this world that someone would walk into and elementary school and kill children, we have been calling this week End Of The World Madness because people are just plan crazy and stupid. Sorry my rant for the day. Tonite is CLX Lean Circuit 3. I have my last day written down but I can't seem to give it to the bosses.

Lisa-good job with your workout and I shouldn't have looked at the news.

Ronne-I am with you I have alot of baking and decorating to do.
 
Roxie, very sad, the president even wiped his eyes a few times at his press conf. Locally, there was a lady that answered her door and someone set her on fire, saaaay whaaaat? geez
 
Beyond Horrifying about the shooting.

^^ moment of silence.

Ronne, I've decided to count shaving my legs as half a yoga workout.
Roxie, you would tell me to just do it.
Lisa, glad hubbers is home and ur feeling better.

No luck at interview for seasonal retail today, though it went really well. My winter term school schedule won't work for them since they need 630-1100 ish most week days.
Finished up all my exams and I've got straight A's through out. I think all 16 of us will be moving on to the next round. Kids finished up exams and dd 17 starts volunteer at wildlife center this Sat. I'm going to work on apps, maybe have dinner with new boy. No rest for the wicked. : )
Oh and hope to catch Hobbit soon.
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did CLX Lean Circuit 3 and Burn It Off.

Jody-I gave them my official day and they she acted like she was surprised and man was she pissed when I left, they thought I was going to change my mind.
 
Howdy all. I have been lurking. I cannot surf the net at work like I used too and the morning are tight. DH had the stomach flu, oldest DD had it, and then I got it. Good times! I did a TTM premix this morning. It was not too bad. I still need to lower the step in some areas.

How many of you have watched the clip of the new workouts more than once? Or am I the only one?

Murphy
