Starting us off. I'm trying to eat better (I'm starving as I'm writing this) and get some good calorie burns in, so I did Drill Max Saturday, today I did 4DS premix cardio blast, basically KB and Bootcamp combined cardios.

DH is still in pain. Has an appt at the hospital to get the stone out if it hasn't come out yet. They put him under for it.

Ambulance came on Friday, to take my neighbor/friend to the hospital. It's so sad. Her kids were heading to the Caribbean on Saturday for the youngest's son's wedding, of course their Mom and Dad couldn't go since she her health is going downhill so fast. Sometimes life just seems so unfair.....I guess it makes us stronger.

I got my preorder in yesterday too. They opened up early for Facebook fans of Cathe's. I got the DVD's only, the option with the cycling one.
 
Hey Lisa! Did ya eat something? Today did travel fit, yesterday did the bike. Yesterday was beautiful, today it is raining! Very tired of rain. We leave for Disney on Sat., hope it doesn't rain there! When does your DH have his surgery scheduled? I'm sure he will be uncomfortable, but much different from the pain he is now having. I will keep your friend in my prayers. Getting ready for dinner, have a good night. See you tomorrow! Mary
 
Mary, had pizza, yum! I didn't pig out, just enough to satisfy, ya know? I missed saying that DH goes in Wed. Disney sounds like fun, great time to go. Most years, this time of year will have a shower or 2, hopefully no downpours with the flakey weather going on on the east and southeast!
 
Oh pizza! I just love pizza! My little one would eat it for every meal if I let him! Happy day! I finally made it to 5 miles on the TM! Just did intervals. Raining again here, I need to go run errands and then clean this house. I sometimes feel like that is all I do! Clean, wash and cook. How is your DH feeling? Is he getting nervous about Wed? Or does he just want it all over with? Well, off to the showers, hi to everyone that follows. Mary
 
I ran 5.25 miles today. I wanted to stop at 4.5, but thought I'll go an hour, got in 5 (running like a mad woman at the end) in 58 min, then I had to cool down hence the extra .25 mile. And I burned 125 more calories than if I stopped at 4.5! I could have gone longer it felt so good. In fact, I'd much rather run another 5 miles than work! :) I'm feeling pressured to stay working (this job is getting very stressful and it's killing me). Why do I feel pressured to keep working? Because seems sooooo much money is flowing out because of these kids, man they get more expensive just when you think you should be done!

Mary, DH just wants it over with. He isn't feeling as bad today and wonders if he passed it and just missed it (can't screen all the time). But he still has achy left back, it's probably still in there and just not moving. He says he hopes they look to see if it's still there before putting him under :)
 
IMAX2 today, tried a feel good workout to feel better....very sad. To put in perspective this friend was one of my top 5 (maybe even top 3) friends and I knew her for almost 20 yrs. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - that's really hard. I'm sorry. Good friends are hard to find so I can imagine how sad you must feel.

Mary - which Disney are you going to? DD is going to Disneyland Paris in July with the grandparents.

Well, we had a very nice long weekend. I didn't get any workouts in as parents were here. My dad did a bit of work in the garden for us which was really helpful. We had a nice day out yesterday. We went to a place called Highclere Castle and had lunch out. The sun was shining and it was a lovely day.

Back to work today and I'm finding it very difficult to concentrate! I've started the May rotation (I'll be going my own way at times, I'm sure!) so today was LIC in its entirety which I haven't done for ages like that. Was surprised to find I wasn't completely on the floor at the end which was nice.
I haven't preordered yet but I probably will.
 
Good morning, Lisa, I am so sorry. Were you able to get any sleep? Good girlfriends are hard to come by. Today I did ripped and chisled, forgot how many biceps curls there were, 208! Ronne, glad to see you back! Some of us here did sneak a peek at the wedding! I wish we were going to Disney Paris! Just Florida, but it will be warm there and hopefully no rain! Guess what? It is raining here again today! Murphy, where are you? I will talk to you all later, Mary
 
Hi all. I only have a minute but Sunday was my 5k (I found out Saturday that it was Sunday), I walked/jogged it, Monday was a rest day, yesterday was trainer day and today, well I have not decided yet. I will fill-in the rest later. I did preorder the dvd's the complete set w/ the cycle max (nope, don't have a spin bike). I wonder how many she has done. It seems like the cycle max has not been filmed yet but they set an ETA on the dvd's. ??? BTW, I have jury duty today. Wish me luck.

Lisa - sorry to hear that DH needs surgery and so sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers and hugs all around.

Mary - have fun in Disneyland. DH wants to take the kids but I still think they are a little young. Plus I just don't feel up to it yet.

Ronne - Howdy.

Hi to everyone out there.

Murphy
 
Hi everyone

Murphy - congrats on the 5K!! However you got round it's an achievement. Hope the jury duty's OK.

Mary - 208 biceps curls? Or were you joking?!

Today was KPC. It's a beautiful sunny day and I've been stuck inside working. I'm desperate to get out in the sunshine!
 
Hi girls! Today did MMA Boxing, I really enjoy that one for some reason! Ronne, I M not joking about those darn bicep curls! Jari did 120 regular curls and then 88 hammer curls! Could you send some of that sun here? Murphy, congrats on the race! How was it? Did you get pushed around? Did you have fun? Lisa, hope your DH does well today, let us know. Good day to all! Mary
 
HI all, have to make it quick. Takes forever at hospitals! DH got his stone out today. It was pretty high up (near the kidney) still. It was adhered to the ureater (or whatever the tube from kidney to bladder is called) wall. They don't think it would ever have come out on it's own.

I did workout today. CTX UB premix. HOpe to chat more tomorrow, of course I got backed up on work while I was at the hospital. Was there 6 hrs for a 1 hr procedure :)
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - good news for your DH at last though. I bet he's pleased it's over.

Mary - I like Boxing as well - there's something really fun about it.

Today I did LM, this is supposed to be a low intensity week. Even though LM is slower it's not easy!! I burned a ton of calories. Planning to go to the cinema tonight to see Source Code.

Work's slowed down a bit so I've had some time to sort stuff out which has been good.
 
Hi girls! Today was ME, I had forgotten about all those leg presses! Lisa, how is DH feeling today? Sore at all? Thank goodness he scheduled it! Ronne, thanks for sending the sun here today! Murphy, what's up your way? I need to start packing today, it will be Sat., before I know it! Have a good day! Mary
 
Hi everyone, I slept better last night than I did all week, so only did ABS (they've been neglected lately) and did Weights and Plates, but once I got to plates I gave up :confused:

Ronne, LM is tough, you don't think it should be but it is! I've thought about seeing Source Code. Let me know how it is.

Mary, I bet the kids are excited about Disney World! Yes, DH is sore with back and ureathrea pain. They put a stent in the ureter near the kidney which can cause same flank pain. He gets it out Wed. So, I may have to listen to more whining for a while :)
 
I did circuit blast today, felt good but I did skip a few things. I still have jury duty, they expect it to go until Wednesday or so. ??? Of course everything is now thrown off schedule, but what are you going to do?

Lisa - glad to hear the stone is out. Good luck with the recovery.

Ronne - I agree about the boxing, it is energizing.

Mary - packing? Where are you going?

Happy DOMS weekend to all.

Murphy
 
Good morning! Today will be cardio of some sort, haven't decided yet. I am finishing packing today. Little one had to come home from school yesterday because he had a sore throat. I just took him into the dr.'s to be cautious (since we leave in the morning) I am glad I did, he has strep. I just hope no one else gets it! Murphy, are you having fun at jury duty? Lisa, how is DH? Better today? To get the stent out do they do it in the office? Is he awake for that? Ronne, have a good weekend! I will be gone next week! Work out hard for me and I will give Mickey Mouse a kiss for all of you! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Mary - have a good trip to Disney. How long are you going for?

Murph - gosh, that sounds like quite a long case. Hope it's not too depressing.

Lisa - very sensible taking it a bit easy on the workouts. Hope you don't spend your whole weekend nursing DH!!
Source Code was good - I'd read some rave reviews of it and it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be but I did enjoy it. (Can't say I understood it though!;))

Today was a bit easier - just 4DS LIS step portion. Nothing in particular planned this weekend. Going to the hairdresser's tomorrow. At last!
