I did not see a thread so here I go. So, I either did not hear the alarm or I shut if off and went righ back to sleep. I woke up late and was so ready to scrap they day but then starting feeling bad about it. Then, DH starts snoring...I had to get up b/c I knew I would just lay there. As soon as I got up, he stopped snoring! WTH! I just looked at him as if he planned it.

Anyway, so I started looking, hoping that Cathe posted the May rotation and found it (or so I thought). I did one of the LIC premixes and some abs. I then printed the rotation and was about to put it in the calendar when I realized that it was the May 2011 rotation. Ugh. Well, it is a new printer and I have never tested it before - trying to look at the positive side of all this. :)

Anyway, have a great week everyone.

Good Morning,

I have been a little depressed and discouraged since Fridays personal training session and dh and I were having problems so I am hoping today is a better day even though its raining out. I will do some yoga today I really need a stretch.

Murphy-that is so irritating. I haven't looked for the rotation yet.
 
Hi girls! Today was YM, I am down ward dogged out! Murphy, my DH snores also, makes me insane! He also falls asleep in seconds, that makes me insane also! Roxie, did you go to the gym yesterday? Lisa, what day is the wedding? Ronne, DH Home? Jody, school done? Today will be cleaning and a basket party. Hope everyone has a good day, Mary
 
Hi girls, I"m checking in with no workout :( I really did something to my back and neck and then it was very aggravated with the w/o yesterday. I've taken so much advil and muscle relaxers. It's mostly between the shoulder blades, I don't know what that is from, I know the trap and lower back is from weights. I think it's finally loosening up. I did do dust-max. I had the great room, dining and foyer to dust, took me at least an hour? How does the cleaning lady get this whole place cleaned in 1.5 hrs? Oh I think I found out, she doesn't move anything, just dusts around it. I found, you ready for this? I found some treats I used to hide for the dog on a couple of the lower shelves. guess poor Maddy had pushed them into a corner and couldn't get to them. Not sure what the cleaning lady's excuse is! Maddy's been gone just over 2 yrs. I have doilies and shook them outside along with a couple table runners I figured she has only dusted around. Whew, boy was I right, dust everywhere, sneezing, at this rate I might as well go lay in the hammock since my allergies is flared up now.

Boy aren't we a bunch of ranters :) Murphy, when I hear DH snore now, I feel so bad nudging hims since I know he's exhausted from his trips. But once in a while I HAVE to shut him up!

Mary, the wedding is May 10th. Getting close. I guess his fiance moved out until the wedding to make the honeymoon "special". i guess you could say that's romantic, sometimes though I just feel her youth shows if you know what I mean? I think DS talked her out of paying $7 per person just for glassware and plates (instead of plastic). That's a lot of money, I'm guessing they may have fought over it as he told me they had a fight and he told her that without the help from us (loaned him quite a bit of $) there would be no wedding (her parents are paying for nothing). Honestly I'll be glad when it's over and I think he will too.

Roxie, I think I'm rounding my back too much on deadlifts, I thought of you yesterday with my trap pain (maybe from too much on bench press) and then lower back (bad form on deadlift). I don't even lift very much with them anymore (25-30 lbs) but she does so many in STS TB.

I'm loving the vitamix (I never would pay $500 for this though). Making lots of smoothies, I'm hoping I lose some weight instead of gaining. I'm trying to watch my overall intake and I'm certainly getting lots more fiber!
Speaking of food, I'm hungry, I had only a smoothie for lunch, I think it's snack time now. :)
 
Good Morning,

I walked on the TM then I had a Mary moment vaccumed the stairs about 28 of them then swept and vaccumed the kitchen and livingroom. I still need to do a stretch I am horrible with those.

Mary-not gym yesterday it wasn't a very good day.

Lisa-I get a knot there everyonce in a while and I chalk it up to stress.
 
Hey again! I get that between my shoulder blades also! I figure it's from all the shoulder and back work, today I will blame it on the down dogs! Ortho gave me Voltaren for my hip, doesn't help that, but it gets rid of all the trap and shoulder discomfort. Roxie, hope things are better today. I know DH and I go through cycles where we get on each others last nerve! Lisa, that wedding is only 11 days away! They are getting married on a Friday? I know it's cheaper on a Friday. Maybe you will have to talk to your cleaning lady? That's funny about the dog treats tho! Roxie, that's a lot of steps! Well, I better get busy now that we are talking about cleaning! Mary
 
LOL, I wasn't gonna post today b/c I didn't have much to add that would be positive, but I can see we are mostly all in a funk so I will join.
I'm no work outs and finishing up school. Writing speech today. I'm working summer A so I will be at college then but not as student. Watched my dance sisters last night, fun.

Lisa, I am envious of your blender. One day I will get one or a blendtec but for now I'm cranking out the smoothies with my regular blender OK. Coincidentally I am doing speech on green smoothies. I'm tired of writing! That wedding is practically here! zoiks.

Roxie, lol "mary moment". I need me some of those. Hope things look up.

Mary, I'm usually a basket case, never had a basket party.

Murphy, sorry about the rough start. If testing out the new printer was the best thing that happened all day, it doesn't sound good!

Ronne, have you come up for air on your work? You get to take the weekend off anyway, right?

Hopefully a smoother tomorrow for all.

It is funny that so many of us were talking about cleaning. I did my household cleaning yesterday and the laundry yesterday and today, and the hardening today. I am tired! I guess we were due.
 
Hi all

Roxie - what a bummer about the scales - I'd be really down about that as well. Another good reason not to join a gym! Hope things pick up for you.

Murphy - I was about to write what is hardening, thinking there was some strange US cleaning ritual when I realised it was a typo!! Doh!

Lisa - that is funny about your cleaner! That's how I clean!! Round everything ... Hope your shoulders/neck are starting to feel a bit better.

Mary - DH is back tonight about 10pm. We've had updates over the weekend, sounds like he's had a great time. It'll be good to have him back.

Jody - I did work on Sat actually!! It really is that busy at the moment.

Spring must be in the air, cos I was cleaning at the weekend as well. Finally got round to dusting our bedroom - don't know why I hate it that much, it's not that big a job. Worked most of Sat as DD was out doing gymnastics all day. Did the 1-5 AB premix. Then took yesterday off work and exercise. It absolutely poured down all day - in some parts of the country we've had 170% of the rain we usually get in April. Took DD out for lunch at a local Thai restaurant, which was delicious.
Did a 30 min Patrick Goudeau premix today.
 
Today was a kickboxing day. I felt the need to kick and punch some things - maybe I am still annoyed with DH's snoring. :)

Ronne - sorry about the typo, I did not even notice it. Now that I think about, the ground is hard in some areas some maybe it really should be hardening instead of gardening. :)

Good Morning,

Tonite I will be doing that spin class I have been trying to take I promise not to chicken out this time. DH and I are getting better but it was pretty close to a split Saturday. I hope we all have a better week.

Murphy-thats why I love having KBXing workouts around I feel so much better when I am done.
 
Hi everyone! Today did TB, mainly because I had just painted my toes and didn't want to put socks and shoes on! Oh Roxie, I hope things turn around for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Have fun at spin tonite, work out all annoyances! Murphy, as long as you didn't kick and punch DH! Lisa, is today a evening work out? Jody, yeah on school being done! Good luck on your speech! Ronne, I have never tried Thai food. Maybe I should give it a go? What do you recommend? Well, I need to get upstairs and work on the dresser drawers, that will be an all day affair! Mary
 
I got in 4DS double cardio PM which consists of the step in HIS and LIS. My neck and traps are really sore still, took advil and muscle relaxer, rubbed with ActiveON, warmed up rice pack. Still hurts, I must have done a number on it. I'm really thinking it was the bench press and flys I went too heavy on. Either I"m getting weaker or my weights I wrote down haven't been perfected. I vote for the latter.

Mary, I'm trying to take off Mondays and Friday afternoons (unless I schedule something special like a hike on a day other than Monday). So I'm off, ah, cleaning guest bathroom and kitchen today and mowing the lawn. Main part of the house will be ready for guest to see for the wedding .... namely my sister. Thankfully I didn't need to clean out my sewing room to put a bed in there for her since she's staying at a hotel. The basement is still a mess (my workout room, DH office, DS unused bedroom). Sounds like you are doing your cleaning/organizing while you are off :) I love the way you pick your workout :)

Ronne, I had to figure out the hardening too, but american ritual never entered my mind. lol I hate dusting too, and obviously so does my cleaning lady! I'm going to keep her for now as I try to get some projects done and generally enjoy summer, but her days are numbered.

Roxie, sometimes when life seems the bleakest we grow the most. Hang in there. I hope you enjoy the spin class. I think all of us here are closet exercisers :p Congrats on the grandson!!

Murphy, we have hard dirt here too. I do not like gardening for that very reason. Well, that and the fact I kill everything :)

Jody, what do you typically put in a green smoothie? I haven't gotten very creative, just a couple different fruits, some greek yogurt, stevia, and spinach leaves. I'd love to hear your speech!

Gotta run and get the chores done so I can read. I finished 50 shades, not the ending I was looking for (I wanted answers), so onto book #2, 50 shades of dark. that hammock is calling my name again!

Good Evening,

I went to that spin class and it was killer my legs are killing me and so is my ass. I didn't do a very good job because it was my first time I know I can do better next time, I burned 412 cals in 58 mins.
 
Roxie, sounds like a fun kinda ass whoopin on the bike, cool! Congrats on baby boy, too. Although I have no idea what to do w/ little boys! why do they like to crash things and throw stuff around? ::confuzzled::

Lisa, I like spinach, pineapple and frozen blueberry. Also kale, frozen banana and rice milk. Speech went OK, again, not perfect, but all my assignments are now done!

Mary, I could use a house cleaning and a pedi, thanks for all the reminders! TB is pretty low on my list of w/o right now.

Ronne, I like a rainy day at home w/ no agenda, its so cozy.

Murphy, I have tomato plants growing in the strip of dirt growing around my patio at townhouse, I just threw the over ripe grape tomatoes out there to see what would happen. I might run with it as a gardening theme in my little strips of dirt, that or round up and mulch- I don't want to take care of or tend to anything!

I watched dance sisters on Sat night, I miss it. Now that school is over, I think I'm going back to classes on sun. I had tears watching them do one of my faves I used to dance with them. : (
 
Good morning! Today was AT, the whole thing. Jody, will start classes back up again in the fall? Are you tutoring this summer? Gosh, I sound so nosy! Tell me to mind my own business if you want! Lisa, sounds like you had a productive day! Roxie, a baby boy! Love boys! Girls too! That spin class sounds like a challenge. How was it working out with other people around? Murphy, you have a green thumb? I"m not very blessed wtih that gift. Ronne, did you send your rain here? Is DH home safe and sound? Well, got our dressers and closets done, now have to get to the kid's. After that I will get to the basement, which will be scary! Have a good day, going to Walmart now, out of everything at the same time? Mary
 
Good Morning,

We went for a walk this morning and it was very humid but boss lady did walk faster. I had another PT session this morning so she could evaluate where I was at and DH said to go ahead and do 3 months to make me feel better about myself and if I can learn from her. His birthday is today so we are going to Red Lobster for supper with little momma and SIL its not my favorite place to eat but he loves it and DD has been craving it and you now how it goes whatever the baby wants it gets.

Jody-I have never raised a boy just 2 girls so it will be a new experience. I have alot of nephews but that is different.

Mary-I really need you to come to my house I have a hard time getting rid of clothes so my closet is full. I actually didn't mind having other people around and the instructor helped me get my bike set up and explained to me how it works.
 
Hi all

Late check-in for me today. Busy day. We had an appointment with the solicitor this morning to set up new wills. We arrived 35 minutes late because of traffic - it took us 50 mins to go 3 miles! The solicitor had been stuck in the same traffic so wasn't much earlier than us!
Went to school in the afternoon for the May Day dances. Had to go as it's the last one. sniff, sniff. Also fitted in another Patrick Goudeau as I had so much fun with him yesterday! As a consequence, I've done hardly any work so will be working into the evening to catch up!!

Roxie - congrats on the grandson! Hope things are getting better with you and DH. That's really nice what he said about joining up for a few months. Sounds like you'd get something out of it.

Mary - you are a cleaning machine!! How do you do it? Yes, DH is back safe and sound, with wonderful bird tales! I'm sharing the rain around! I was woken last night by a thunderstorm!!
You've got to have Thai food, it's delicious. Think Chinese but lighter with more subtle flavours, but you can also blow your mind with spice if you want.

Jody - sounds like my kind of gardening - throw stuff in the ground and see what happens!!

Lisa - don't forget you've got a wedding coming up - you don't want to spend the day looking like a hunchback cos you've still got kinks in your neck and shoulders!! :eek:

OK, now for some work!
 
Slept in late, that's what happens when you take a benadryl and then at 3am woke up with my neck hurting so took advil and muscle relaxer. Found yoshi wondering in the kitchen --- I think she was lost as I heard her meowing that siamese meow. so no w/o this morning, but I am stopping by a friend's and we will be taking a walk this evening.

Ronne, too right, I need to get this neck thing fixed! I told DH it's my punishment for making fun of my sister's PF. What kind of dish would you recommend if one like's either General Tso's spicey chicken or mongolian beef at a chinese place?

Mary, how often do you do this type of spring cleaning?

Roxie & Jody, I've only raised boys, I really missed having girls at times. Then at other times was glad for my boys.

Murphy, are you still in a punching mood?

Well, back to work, I really much rather be doing what Mary is doing!
