Hi all, starting a new thread. Did STS Disc 2, back/bi. I have my broccoli slaw salad w/edamane and a soy-ginger dressing all ready to go.

Roxie, it's been HOT here too, too hot for me, we skipped our walk last night.

Mary, enjoy your rest day!

Ronne, any hangover?

Jody, enjoy your ff, sounds like a nice time.
 
Hi girls. I did disc 3 of WXF- second time. Its getting a little tougher, I'm taking part of the water breaks and a few of the moves are hard to do without modifying.
Yeah ff guy is super. Though I sorta feel like a prickly pear cactus, I'm trying to keep everyone at a distance.
I enjoyed my coffee this morning from my rummage sale krups thermal coffee pot and now I've got a desk set up in my room for my lap top. Of course it's now draped with bellydance veils.
Lisa, your salad sounds yummy!
 
Good Evening,

Well I didn't workout today DH and I went to the lake it was another hot day then we came home I made a macaroni salad and DH is making ribs. I think DD and her DH are coming over tonite Target has a crib on sale they want so probably going to buy a crib tonite and then DH and I are going to Sams Club tomarrow and buying new mattresses. I don't remember who asked about the irish/mexican resturant it was just mexican.

Lisa-I hope it cools down a little bit but we are in desperate need of rain.

Jody-stop being a cactus.
 
DH and I did a 2 mile walk, very windy! He heads out to San Fran tomorrow (yes on the holiday, sigh). I brought back a lot of leftovers from the party today so that I have food to heat up to eat this week :) everyone felt bad for me since it's hard to cook for one.

Jody, I couldn't imagine dating anymore. What a great find at the rummage sale!

Roxie, I bet it's fun getting all ready for the new baby!
 
Morning!

No, no hangover! I didn't drink that much. Had a good evening tho', we ended up at a cocktail bar! Managed to get a workout in yesterday, CSS. Yes, a double workout weekend. Didn't do much of anything else, it was too hot so just lounged around. Did pop out and buy some new walking boots for our holiday next week.
Planning to do Cardio Kicks today.

Jody - it's OK, take your time. He sounds great, the outdoor rum bar sounds even better! :p

Roxie - sounds like you've got a lot of shopping to do at the moment!!

Lisa - poor you!! It sounds really pathetic taking home the party leftovers to feed yourself all week - I'd be exactly the same!! :)
 
Hi girls! Have to figure out my plan for the week. Twins leave on Wednesday for DC. They only have the teachers chaperoning, they are so excited! Lisa, love leftovers! Too bad you couldn't go with DH, you could make him walk the hills! Jody, I get what you are saying, remember its not a race. He sounds like a good guy and he will be a patient one. Ronne, sounds like you had fun! And you worked out Saturday and Sunday!? Roxie, have you been in a shopping mood? I get in cycles like that! Then I have to make myself stop! Hi Murphy! Today we our doing pool and cookout with friends, supposed to be 90's today. Mary
 
I just finished Drill Max. I avoided it and finally decided to be a big girl and do it. I did have to skip a few drills, but I am done now. I am also drenched in sweat and am tired again. The little ones and DH are up now so TTYL. It is supposed to be hot here today and I just planted some more fruit and veggie plants yesterday. I have a few more I want to get and then I will be done. Waves to all.
 
LOL to Murphy re big girl. : D I feel pretty darn accomplished after that one, too.

Lisa, maybe you can have nice day in the hammock since dh is traveling? San Fran sounds like fun, too bad you can't do some traveling with him.

Mary, enjoy the cookout. I'd love to take my dds to DC but I would kill them with the amt of time i spend at each exhibit. I bet your kids will have a blast. Hmm, what will you be up to???

Ronne, there are a lot of cute tropical good food hanging out by the water places around here.

Roxie, my kids never did sleep in the cribs but for us it turned out to be a great storage place for stuffed animals. : p

I did xfactor again today and have household stuffles to do. Pics are of tomato plants that grew from seeds I threw into dirt, me at the beginning of week 3, my 70 dollar desk and free dining table!

Good Morning

All the Sams stores near us are out of the mattress and box springs we want so we had go travel farther. I went to the gym and did the elliptical and tonite is PT time and I need it after all the drinking this weekend.

Mary-I don't like to shop but I am tired of waking up with a sore back and the crib is on sale and she wants it.

Jody-you look amazing.
 
I haven't done a w/o yet. Been piddling around the house planning my sewing projects. Went to Joann to buy supplies and Sally's for a few hair things. I actually haven't done a thing to my hair today and yet I feel ok to go out in public. It's long enough that I clipped it on top of my head while I slept, woke up, unclipped, shook it out, good enough for a weekend!

Mary, We'll have to see how this account goes. If he ends up out there, I MAY go one time. His sister is there, my uncle (who is the same age as DH) is there too. My quandary is Yoshi. I may see if DS20 could stay here at the house and take care of her. I just worry, he is the one after all that locked her in the bedroom while we were on the ski trip. Then, of course, it's hiking season, and hopefully my bff and I will get to go a lot. decisions, decisions, sometimes I'm so bad at deciding! So what's your plan for the week? Do you have trouble filling it up with anything besides cleaning?

Jody, amazing those plants grew. What deals you found. You look awesome!

Roxie, I'm not a shopper either, I used to be when I was young(maybe all teenagers are). I'm more of a hermit.

Ronne, The problem with the food plan this week was, this trip was last minute and I didn't have time to plan for being alone, I had planned on both of us here. So into the freezer the meat went that we were going to grill and now I have double the amount of veggie/fruits to eat up.

Murphy, funny, I was planning on doing DM today. Will see if I end up being a big girl or wimp out. I'm feeling a bit wimpy right now. I get lazier as the day goes on....

Ok, this is irritating, had to lift the cat back up into the couch. This cat isn't jumping anymore either, not sure why. She's turned into a very dependant cat that can't jump to where she wants to be. I've set up a bed for her where she's been laying on the floor so at least there is a soft spot for her should there be no one here to lift her up to the couch. She won't lay in the bed she used to lay in for the last few years. I'm really not understanding why she's changed and it gets very irritating.

I hope to report a w/o later. I must get my big girl pants on!
 
Mary-the mattress was on sale a Settable euro top.queen size mattress and box springs 389.00 usually that for the mattress.
 
I put my big girl pants on and did DM tonight. I think the bad part of working out at night is that I have all day to talk myself out of it! I was soooooo tired and lazy after reading in the hammock. I HAD to mow, so I did that, then finally sucked it up and did DM. I much prefer doing those things in reverse order!
 
I think it is hard to work out very first thing but also very hard at the end of the day.
Thanks for the compliments, my figure in the pic turned out nicer than real life as a result of immediate post w/o muscle tension. I really really really wanna lose a couple of sizes.The devil is in the diet. Work today and then hopefully do a short run and a dance class tonight. I've taken over Lisa's position as the one who wakes up and can't fall back asleep. Gak.
 
Hi all

Jody - love the photos!! You look fab, girl, don't do yourself down! Are you sure you're in the right check-in? Not sure you belong in the 40s!! :D

Lisa - I'm with you in the workout order. I'm not an early bird, but if I don't get it done mid-morning then it is really hard to do anything later in the day. So big kudos to you for getting your big girl pants on and knocking it out!
I think a trip to SF sounds great!

Murphy - more kudos to you as well. Lots of big girl pants-wearing going on around here!

Mary - hope you had fun yesterday. How exciting for the twins. Are you going to do anything with the other one while they're away? Sorry, that sounds weird but you know what I mean.

Roxie - so how was the PT last night?

Probably no workout for me today. Got a meeting for most of the day. Better hit the road.
 
Did the sleep-max sleep in this morning. THankfully I'm working from home. I will try to get a w/o in later tonight, no promises. I woke up to a nice pile of poo on the wood floor in the dining room, upon cleaning, there were at least 2 dried pee puddles. I had told DH when Yoshi starts messing up the upstairs then it's time to put her to sleep. We had noticed that there wasn't as much eliminated waste in her many litter box areas in the basement. Well now we know where she's doing it and it's right where I was worried about (she has been getting lost back in the curtains in the dining room). Right now she's locked in the bedroom in the basement where she USED to hang out. I'm feeling soooo guilty contemplating puttting her to sleep, but what kind of life is it for her locked up by herself in the bedroom? Why can't my pets go peacefully in their sleep????????? I'm a wreck and of course DH is gone. At least so far this time it isn't urgent to put the pet out of their misery and really how miserable is Yoshi? I'm in a quandary of what to do. Sorry I've gone on.....

Jody, sorry about the sleep issues. If it helps I still have sleepless nights though not as bad as they were. Woke up at 2am last night a sweaty mess, guess I had a hot flash, sigh.

I wish I had went to SF........Can someone make this decision for me with Yoshi? NEver, I say NEVER no more pets. I'm such a wimp with end of life decsisions.
 
Hi girls! Today did the TM, intervals and hills. There was no way you all were going to shame me into doing DM! That does require some big girl pants! Lisa, so sorry to hear about Yoshi, it's so hard to know when it is right. Thinking of you! Ronne, hope you aren't working too hard! Are you going to Spain soon? Jody, you probably look better in real life! I think we all need to give ourselves more credit, went to the pool yesterday, I was thinking that I will NEVER stop working out! Roxie, how was the new mattress? I love a nice soft one! Our bed is a pillow top, then we put a temperpedic cover, then put a feather bed on. It's like sleeping on a cloud! Hi Murphy! Have to get DS to dentist, he says his tooth hurts, don't want him going away miserable! Then get them some last minute stuff. We will take little one to ball game tomorrow, that's probably the only fun thing, he still has to go to school! Have a good one, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I had to reschedule with PT until tonite didn't make it home in time yesterday. I still had trouble sleeping but a least when I got up my back wasn't killing me.

Lisa-good job with that workout I got rid of it. I don't mean to sound awful but it sounds to me like it is time.

Ronne-have fun in the meeting.

Mary-I love a new mattress too we had our first set for almost 20 years before we bought a new set which was a double pillow never again will I own one of those.

Jody-have fun at dance tonite.
 
Good Evening,

Another night of getting my ass kicked by PT we did a crossfit type workout. She had me do step ups on one of those really tall step things with 10lb wts. med ball situps with 15lb med ball she threw it to me when I got up, pushups with 1 hand on a med ball then rolled it to the other side, 20 squat with over head throw, side step ups with no wt. all for 30 seconds in a three round circuit the last set of step ups we didn't use any wt.
 
Roxie that is one sadistic gal! Let me know if you can get out of bed tomorrow.

I did a 2.8 mile run, some push ups and dips and took dance class which was an hour of non stop choreography, yea! I'm dancing next month at green market w/ girls, yea! Drum solo and Vay anam Vay, Yea! Off to watch Hulk w/ my kids in order to be caught up w/ Avengers, hopefully go see in theater.

Voot! niters and hugs to all~~
