Hi 40's! Didn't sleep too well last night, brain just wouldn't turn off and kept thinking random thoughts, don't you hate that! I did get in CTX UB, had to do a low energy w/o!

Mary, you never said what time you start your work day, did you? I think it's heaven getting off when you do especially so you can go be a Mom. Kudos for sandwiching your w/o between "jobs" :) The roads were clear (although residential streets only have one plowed lane, so when you met someone head on, you get to figure out who pulls over---normally the SUV should, when DH went to store the other car pulled into someone's well shoveled driveway since the driveways where we were weren't shoveled yet).

Jody, I'm in a blah kind of mood too. Thankfully I don't have anything I need to do....I think it's curl up with a good book day.

Have a good Sunday!
 
Lisa, how do you get those little thumbnail photos on the thread?

I am procrastinating my speech writing.

This weekend I'm reading Zeitoun- When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after the storm, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. A week later, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared. Eggers’s riveting nonfiction book, three years in the making, explores Zeitoun’s roots in Syria, his marriage to Kathy — an American who converted to Islam — and their children, and the surreal atmosphere (in New Orleans and the United States generally) in which what happened to Abdulrahman Zeitoun was possible

Am I supposed to workout too? Look, a butterfly! ::chases insect::

Just notices that in the blurb they say an "American that converted to Islam". Wow, that is ironic.

Good Morning,

I have a huge knot in my right shoulder which is causing a migraine headache so I don't plan on doing anything but maybe a stretch today. It is measurement day going to see if all this hard work is paying off.

Lisa-hope your mood improves. DH is going to put some of your books on MILs Kindle today.

Jody-you are too funny.
 
Hi girls! Quick check in, we have 20 coming over for the game! I took a rest day today, legs are tired! Lisa, I start at 7, quick day, by the time I wake up, it's time to go! I'm glad you are able to get around! Enjoy your couch! Roxie, hope you feell better. Sounds like tension, maybe DH will give you a massage? Jody, good luck on your speech! Is it on breast feeding? Hi to Murphy and Ronne! Have a good evening, enjoy the commercials! Mary
 
I did AB. Too bad there aren't 6 Million Dollar Man bionic sound effects to go with my slow mo moves--my lagging pace is especially noticeable during the runner sprints. Oi.

Still working on speech (and words with friends, FB, cathe, workout, novel) but I think topic will be dance since that is more timely for me.

Is everyone (US) watching game? No football lovers in my house since divorce but we might watch it anyway. Have a nice party, Mary!

Roxie, I hope your neck is better. Nice massage wouldn't hurt, agree, tension related!

Waves to all.
 
Jody, When you are posting there is a little paper clip at the top, click that and then you can select a picture from your computer. We will probably peek at the game every now and then but not really interested.

Mary, About time to cook dinner....especially since Yoshi took over my reading chair :D. That sounds like a long day to me.....years ago I used to get to work at 6:30, then 2 yrs ago, 8:30, now it's more like 9:30 I guess I am lucky that I have no set schedule! Wow you all sound like a football family! Ever since Elway retired we aren't into football :rolleyes:

Roxie, glad someone is getting use out of the books....I have gobs more on my computer.
 
Hi girls! Getting ready to do GS legs. Thank goodness Cathe has so many lower body workouts! Lisa, Elway? That man killed all our hopes and dreams here in Cleveland! He still looks good tho! Party went well, I won $62 in the squares! DH is a huge football fan, loves his fantasy football, we all have to get in the game. Jody, good luck on your speech! Roxie, how are you feeling? Hi to Murphy and Ronne! Nope you all had a good weekend, have to clean! Talk to you later, Mary
 
Hello

Got a couple of workouts in this weekend. CSS just the step premix on Sat then threw in an extra yoga workout yesterday. Specially for neck and shoulders, it was fab. Rest of weekend pretty quiet.
Got quite a lot of work to get through so won't hang around!
Started new rotation today - picked the Feb '09 one as it's quite a change from what I've been doing the past couple of months. Did GS BSB today.

Jody - your comment about AB made me smile. Could we also have those sound effects for lifting weights in Gym Styles?
Oh, I've heard about that book. It sounds really good - the sort of thing I end up exclaiming out loud when I read!

Lisa - 9.30? You part-timer!!

Roxie - hope your headache's cleared.

Mary - are you going to treat yourself to something with your winnings?
 
Good Morning,

Headache is still there but not like yesterday and I think the medicine I took for it gave me an upset stomach all night spent most of it in the bathroom so I didn't sleep very well either. I think my body is saying it needs a break of some kind. Tonite is suppose to be KCM Stepboxing with Kickboxing drills.
 
Come one, come all to my pity party :) I'm feeling sick, sore throat, headache, congestion....as the day went on yesterday I realized I was getting sick (had that "taste" in my mouth...hate that). No wonder I didn't have energy for my w/o yesterday....my body knew before my brain did that I was getting sick! So, rest day for me and working from home.

Ronne, yep, 9:30 to 4, banker's hours! I'm lucky to have the flexibility.

Roxie, here we go again, what is it with you and I?

Mary, You still sound bitter about that game back in what year was it? lol I've had GS Legs on my plan for a while now. Hasn't happened....it has a dread factor for me and I feel guilty not doing it for so long.

Jody, Those mountain climbers and spidermans I go slo-mo too, and when she picks up the pace I just stay at my same turtle pace :)
 
Lisa, yes I am still bitter! It was a heart breaking game! I will admit, I did cry! I think it was in '86 or '87! The pain remains!
 
Lisa, DH just reminded me, it was 2 games he stole from us, The Drive and The Fumble. Yes, I hold a grudge!
 
Bad news....it's basal cell....I get it cut out tomorrow....so much for good hair...feeling pretty down right now. Not sure how I'll make myself presentable in public after they cut it out. Told work I'll be working at home all week! However DH and I have a date on Thursday night to see the Dralion Cirque De Soliel (however you spell it) show. Thank goodness that man loves me no matter what!

Lot's of Elway haters....he's like Saint John in this part of the country.

Jody, Ellen called out MO about her form on her pushups today on her show. Said she didn't go far enough down AND her feet were wider apart. Ellen is so funny, said she didn't want to show up the first lady :)
 
Oh Lisa, I'm sorry to hear that. Is the surgery involved? Your hair will grow back! It always does! Thank goodness you went and they are doing something quickly. Thinking of you. Mary
 
Good Evening,

Tonite I did KCM Stepboxing with Extra Drills and I have to say it was actually fun and then I did Shape Abs.

Lisa-sorry to hear about your bad news.
 
Wow, Lisa I am sorry but so glad you are moving quickly with taking care of it. Hugs. Let us know how it's going and how you are doing.
 
Lisa - so sorry about the news. I too am glad you are moving quickly to take care of things. Hugs and prayers are out to you.

Hi everyone. Things are quiet over here. I did circuit blast Sunday, had a rest day Monday, and today is AB. I love this one but it is tough. Speaking of tough, I forgot about those tuck jumps and burpees in circuit blast. Yuk! :)

Murphy
 
Do you guys think BG an equal sub for TBT LB?

Lisa, good luck today and hugs. Check in when you can, you will go to an outpatient facility?
 
Thanks for all the well wishes. It will be ok, I'm just tired of dealing with it----this is the 3rd one. They will just cut it out at the dr office, not too bad a procedure (not like the Mohs procedure I had on the first one). I'm slowly feeling better from my cold too, I hate being sick! I'm going to pamper myself and indulge with lots of couch time instead of hitting the workout room. Hopefully I can control what goes in my mouth and minimize the damage!
