40's still falling 4 u

Good Morning,

DH and I spent the evening trying to figure out where we need to make some cuts and since he always makes his truck payment I needed to know how much that is and his cell phone and let me tell you it is going to be tough. I am going to do KCM MD#2 tonite. Thank You everyone for the well wishes, its nice having you guys to talk to.

Lisa-your co workers are jerks I would tell nosey to mind her own business. I need and inexpensive deep conditioner for my hair any suggestions.

Ronne-he gets a paycheck this week and next week and that is it. This company has put us through the wringer over the years but a company in Mexico bought out his company and I new it would effect us eventually.

Jody-you are too funny it never hurts to try and see what they will do.
 
Nosey coworker asked me how team lead looked today. I told her sad (her g-pa passed) but that I was giving her space as she will talk when she's ready. Nosey said things are different in USA #she is from india) so she realized that etiquette error, but not sure if she realized her error with me.

Sure enough team lead eventually. Told me about her g-pa , said I was sorry, she started to tear up and walked away. I totally understand as that is how I was. My heart goes out to her and when/if she wants to talk, I am here, I don't push. I think she appreciated that.

Roxie, did you figure it out with unemployment insurance? He should get that shouldn't he? Good deep, cheap condition for me is. At sally, generic value product conditioning balm, around $7-$8
 
Lisa-he is working on that today. Thanks for the tip I will have to go there this weekend my hair looks like crap.
 
Hi girls! Today did KCM SS, UB, quick and done! Roxie, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Will he get unemployment? Lisa, maybe it is all the fluorescent lighting? Maybe they are used to talking to computers instead of people? Haha dumping cleaning lady by text! Did she respond back? Ronne, I have baskets coming out my ---! In law sells them, always feel like I have to help them, DH says he is going to bury me in a basket casket! Penguin, sounds like you are staying busy. Jody, you crack me up! You know it's about the money, they want it! Hi to you Murphy! I have to clean and start my band running around! Mary
 
Yes cleaning lady did respond, said she understood as it was going around (I gave her the reason that my hours were being cut at work) . I wonder if her other clients have seen a recent decline in how well she is cleaning and gave same work reason I did. :) let's compare # of Longaberger baskets, bet I have more than you I just don't have any recent ones, stopped selling in 2006 or so
 
Hubby was able to get an earlier flight, so is on his way home! yay! I have a routine visit to a retina specialist tomorrow after Bible study, this is one of those visits that take all day, because not only do we have to wait on my eyesto dialate, there's usually a big crowd. I was able to finish my bread early and have a sweet potato in the oven for my dinner.

I did one set of each exercise from P90x Shoulders and Arms including the bonus round.


Lisa, at least she didn't give you a hard time.

Hi ladies

Lisa - hope the headache's cleared. Have you recovered from your trip now?!

Roxie - that's awful. We're here for venting/moaning/whatever!

Mary - that's so funny about the baskets!!

Penguin - how nice for you that DH is back sooner.

Did a v quick yoga session, just 30 mins. Lots to do. Having a complete meltdown on one of my projects - I just want to walk away from it but obviously can't! Parents arrive this evening for the weekend and I haven't managed to do any cleaning at all. They'll just have to take us as they find us!
 
Did Athletic Training this morning. I was behind schedule and had to skip the step portion. It was a sacrifice but I made it through. ;-) I don't remember this dvd being as hard as it seemed this morning. I had to stop twice to get a breather. Wow, I guess now that I am older, I cannot take off from exercising like I used to. Yikes.

Waves and hugs to all.

Murphy
 
Did 4ds lower body weights, then 1.25 miles on elip.

Ronne, almost recovered from time off, you should know how it is get back. I hate it when work is like that, guess you can't just leave it for someone else to deal with :)

Murphy, yes I find it harder the older I get, but then I read here that it is all in my head (sounds like what a male gyno would say)
 
Good Morning,

I am in a deep depression over this whole job situation and just can't seem to get motivated to workout or do anything else but cry.

Ronne-thank you I am glad you guys are here.

Murphy-its amazing how missing a few workouts can mess with your endurance and strength.
 
Roxie, I'm sorry, take care of yourself. Maybe you need to just feel those really sad scary feelings for a while. I've been missing a lot of workouts, too (I just counted, only 2 per week for past 3 weeks!) That being said, I was drowning in job/work/school anxt today and I just forced myself to find something to try and I do feel better now. (Hiit double wave, first time, will staple uterus back in later)

Murphy, lol, plus 2 lols from what you said the other day, which escapes me now but I remember laughing. lol.

Ronne, you sound stressed, hope project resolves soon. Most likely your parents will just be happy to see you guys.

Basket girls, I've never owned one but my bestie hostessie friend Janet has gobs. It must be part of the clean house nice manners gene gracious host gene. Basket casket funny, lol.

Peng I like to do 1BP/day but I actually find it harder now that I have so much variety in my workouts.

Off to ortho (dd perm retainer fell out?), insurance appt, drop kid school, p/u kid go tkd and run, p/u kid school edition of Thursday.

Roxie - stay focused and take care of yourself. you just wrote (in response to my comment) how quickly we can lose endurance and you just finished with a trainer. Don't lose all the gains. Do something, anything, so your body and mind stay focused. Besides, both you and DH cannot be in a funk at the same time, someone has to be the sane one. Take turns. ;-)
 
Roxie, I'm sorry you have to go thru this. It never ends. Keep focused, maybe exercise will help you thru it? We are all thinking of you. Murphy, true, it's bad when both go crazy! Jody, sounds like my running around! I just want to sit in my house! Sometimes I wonder why we are making a house payment? We never seem to be in it! Penguin, did your DH make it home? Ronne, I am finding I like yoga more and more! What's happening to me? Lisa, how are the work clowns? Are you going to ask to cut down soon? Still have to get my work out in, have been running around with children! Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I'm tired! But tomorrow is football game, Saturday we have a birthday party, ALL day. Sunday, we have a swim team party, oldest DS is interested in joining, then it's Monday and it all starts again!? Talk to you all later! Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

Thank you girls for your support and I understand one of us has to remain up but that happens to be DH he is acting like its not a big deal not understanding that our house payment is over 1000.00 dollars a month and if he doesn't find a job soon we will lose the house. I will do my best though to remain as up as I can.
 
Roxie, I find cardio Coach workout a great source when I'm going thru personal difficulty. Pm me if you want more 'info'.

You've gotten some really great advice already, just know action. Is better than inaction. Take matters into your own hands, think positively. Create a plan!
 
I spent the whole day at Bible study, lunch, running errands with my parents, and at the eye doctor. The good news is my eyes are okay, and he didn't need to see me again for 6 months! Hubby got home before I did {very rare} and after mowing the lawn, he made pizza for dinner. This was his first attempt alone and it turned out great!
 
I went out last night with some girlfriends, didn't get to bed until midnight, then got paged for work at 3AM. Do I get a pass to not workout? I don't miss the carpooling you girls do for the kids! Here's hoping I get back to sleep! btw, problem I was called for is not resolved, I think they called the wrong team so meanwhile I sit here waiting for them to page the other team, after 10 min they still haven't paged them. I may just stay logged on and go back to bed anyway (not that I'll get back to sleep).
 
Hey, I got a 45 min steady state run in yesterday eve after my Dbl wave Hiit in the afternoon! Plus some push ups and dips. I should probably pick up some wts soon and do some crunchy ab stuff, too.
Roxie, maybe hubs just has a feeling things will work out fine. Or maybe he's in the classic first stage of loss and grieving which is denial, right?
My first big exam is on Mon- I'm going to review but after this one, I may not put in much time outside of class. I"m pretty sure I can pass without studying and there really isn't any point in my usual pass each class with perfect A's best grade in the class aspirations. Geez, just typing that stresses me out, who am I kidding, I don't think I can help it, I'll study.
Mary, how's life with dd and new bf going? Hugs yall, maybe bbl w/ a Fri after school workout to report.
 
Hi everyone

Jody - you are mad!! Your uterus comment really made me laugh! I love DWP, it's my favourite hiit.

Lisa - what a bummer! You definitely get the day off workouts today. Get some sleep instead!

Roxie - scream, cry, be miserable, it's got to come out. No point bottling it up. Then you can start to think straight.

Mary - you know why you're starting to like yoga more? It's because you run around after the kids all the time and you need some calm time!

Murphy - remember AT is HARD!! You're not a wimp!

Did CTX KB (no weights today). I've really enjoyed this KB/Yoga week. If the new Cathe rotation doesn't take my fancy I might do it again next week as well. Feel like my kicking and punching has improved.
Parents arrived, so no more workouts this weekend. We're going out for Thai food on Sunday, it's a buffet and we all love it!
 
Good Morning,

I could have gotten up and got a workout in but my bed and covers felt to good. I will do the TM tonite and some wts., time to get back to it.

Jody-he never worries about anything. Good luck on your exam.

Ronne-I am starting to get mad so maybe that is a step forward. Good job with your workout.

Lisa-definetly a pass for today.
