40's week of 4/29/12

Lisa - funny you mention the punching mood -

so last night we had spaghetti and the girls asked if they could take some for lunch the next day. I said okay, knowing more sauce would have to be defrosted (my mom makes them a special batch) and more noodles would have to be made. I asked DH if he could take care of it b/c he was going to be up for a while and it was bedtime for the girls (we got in late last night) and he said yes. A bit later I asked DH again and he got annoyed, "I said I would." I reminded him that "something" usually comes up and I am forced to run around in the morning trying to get it done. He said, "I promise to get it done."

So, a bit of time passes and he sheepishly admits that he probably won't have time to do it. I am in bed at this point. I told he to take the sauce out of the freezer so it will be ready for me in the morning. I figured I put the stuff on low and in the middle of my workout add the noodles and etc. In the end it did not matter b/c DH did not do ANYTHING! He did not put away the extra noodles from last night, he did not soak the pot with the spaghetti in it or even clean off the dishes and put the in the sink or the dishwasher. I had to clean the kitchen before I could cook. Then, while the food is cooking I got the rest of the lunches (inlcuding his) together. Then, when everything was done, I cleaned the kitchen!

So Lisa, yes, I am in the mood for more kickboxing and some as@ kicking and when I am done, I may do some Cathe too!

Murphy

ps
Roxie - in case I forgot, congrat's on the grandson.

Jody - that throw stuff and see what happens never works for me, I only get weeds!
 
Murphy, it's the same old story, if you want something done right do it yourself! The constant following up isn't worth the aggravation. I'm lucky, my DH is pretty good, his family on the other hand drives me bonkers!
 
Hi everyone

Posting early to make sure I get it done!

Murphy - aarrgghhh!! Hope you get to work off some of your frustration!

Lisa - well, I'm not sure what either of those dishes are (Chinese food is not the same all over the world, obviously :D!) And I don't eat meat, so that's a bit tricky as well ... Red/Green curries are usually the spiciest things on the menu. Here's a link to our local to whet your appetite: http://www.thaiorchidoxford.co.uk/downloads/Thai-Orchid-Oxford-MENU.pdf

Doing yoga today - calm me down in the midst of the work chaos!
 
I am joining Ronne with the yoga - to work off some frustration. I get to take out the garbage today! Yeah me (insert sarcasm). DH has no idea he is living on the edge...

Am I the only one who does not see a rotation for this month? Usually someone has complained by now. Is she using the 2011 for the 2012?
 
walked 5.5 miles last night with my friend, and then got paged for work, arg! So cut my visit a bit short, at least I was paged at the end of the walk.

This morning, no coffee! Coffee maker quit working. I hope this isn't a sign for this day. I'm not committing to any workout today.

And recommendations for what type of coffee maker to buy?
 
Good Morning,

We went for a walk again this morning and tonite I have a Personal Training session then I might do a Turbo Kick class. Red Lobster was really good which is strange coming from me, I had the talapia, rice and broccoli. We went shopping after supper and I bought the baby a couple of things one was a blanket that said I love grandma on it. DH was looking at strollers for the zoo.

Lisa-I have a Keurig and just love it.

Murphy-my DH was taking me for granted to but not anymore.

Ronne-hope the yoga helps.

Quick post. Started with THROBBING tooth yesterday, back from dentist, he numbed it, have to go to some specialist this afternoon. I think I slept 10 minutes last night. Have to go get root canal. I'll come back later, hope everyone is having a better day than me! Mary
 
Hi everyone

Oh Mary, poor you! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. That's horrible!

Roxie - so how did the session go? Did you do the class?

Lisa - what no coffee? We have a stove-top pot that I just put straight on the gas ring. Best coffee ever!

Murphy - did you see Cathe's post saying there isn't going to be one. Glad to see I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed sometimes!!

Planning on doing Michelle Dozois Cardio Burn thingy today. I'm just going to do 3 of the sections and keep it down to about 40 mins in total.
Feeling a bit strange - felt a bit dizzy and light-headed last night before bed and still feeling a bit odd this morning. Not sure what's going on. Trying to pretend that everything's fine!! ;)
 
So, was going to try HIS step today but my sports bra was not up to it. Some of them have a little more "bounce" to them than others. So, I just did the weight work. It was not too bad. Plus, you know how I feel about step - yuck. :)

Mary - sorry to hear about the tooth. Good luck.

Ronne - hope everything is fine. Make sure you get your vitamins, fruits and veggies - and water and rest and... Serioulsy, hope you feel better.

Hey! slept good, got up, wanted to skip my w/o, but wanted to skip being early to work more, so I did get in a 30 min w/o HR LB PM. I'm going to try to do 4DS Bi/tri weights only tonight. My neck is still sore but I'm taking less drugs and it doesn't wake me up anymore. So it's getting better, but I'm avoiding UB work that might irritate it.

Mary, how is the tooth? I guess you win for crappiest day yesterday !! :)

Murphy, those bras have quite a job to do!

Roxie, I've heard some people having issues with Keurig breaking. I'm still undecided on what I will get. I hate the idea of K-cups, do you use the insert for brewing your own grind?

Ronne, you are showing your age with that coffee pot! lol I settled for some instant coffee from starbucks that came in the mail yesterday as a sample until DH and I can get out to shop for coffee makers friday afternoon.

Jody, when do you start dance again?
 
Good Morning,

I guess my first real training session will be Monday spent last night getting my membership and signing papers. I didn't go to a class the instructor I wanted to go to did a different class and she was leaving as I was finishing up, I did do the Elliptical though which was ok considering I had a migraine by the time I got off work and I still have it today. I don't know what I am going to do tonite depends on how I feel.

Lisa-I have had my Keurig since December and we have tried to use the K-Cup insert but it makes a mess.

Mary-sorry to hear about the tooth.

Ronne-hate when my sports bra doesn't hold.
 
Hi girls! No work outs to report. Mouth still pretty sore. They had to do a root canal on a tooth that all ready had had one. Apparently the crown was cracked and that's how it got infected. Anyway, on antibiotics and pain pills. Maybe tomorrow? Roxie, sounds like you have an adventure coming? It will be interesting to hear about the trainer. Ronne, maybe you are dehydrated? Are you getting like a sinus infection? Lisa, we don't drink coffee. Tho is does smell good! Murphy, DH behaving? Husbands are like having another child at times! Jody, you out there? Are you dancing in the streets? Hope everyone has a good evening! Mary
 
Sorry no personals, just thougth I'd drop in and tell you all that I did 4DS Bi/Tri weights tonight since I'm up after being called out for work. I'm really hating on this job right now.....stupid that we are called out, and bad luck because there have been no callouts until MY week of being on call. I really got in the wrong career.
 
Hi everyone, 230 am mobile check in from sleep less bed so I apologize in advance for length and typos.

Ronne, how are you feeling? When I get symptoms of anything other than a cold, I always have to ask myself, "maybe its a tumor?" And then I answer in my best arnold swartzenager voice "its not a tumor ". (kindergarden cop movie reference)

Lisa, I have a cave man keurig. Its a little plastic cone shaped coffee filter holder that sits on my mug, I pour boiling water thru - I had it for camping and when my machine broke a few months ago, I just started using that. When I replace my coffee maker, I think I'd like one that has a thermal carafe. I figure I'm better off with more tea than coffee anyway.

Btw, I did pre order new wo when rhythmic step went on daily deal and weider thread in od has me thinking of going to walmart. (speaking of spending money)

Mary, take care of yourself- and fight infection a few daysI think before you stress system with hard work out. It sounds like a miserable experience! Feel better soon.

Roxie, I like elliptical and tread mill. You seem like you will be consistent at getting workouts in whether gym or home.

Murphy, I made spaghetti after I read your post. Good luck with hubby. Since I've been divorced twice, ill refrain from relationship advice, lol.

I taught dance again last night, looks like we will run another 8 wk session. Not really enough paying students to be worth while, but since I'm working less and not taking classes at college as student, hopefully I will plan a specific 8 week class syllabus; One that I think is fun, but doesn't take me forever to put together and reproduce. I feel like I invent the (shimmy) wheel every week.

Volunteer crunch time for dtr to earn scholarship money for college. Finding hours will be ruling activity this month.

hello

Murphy - I know what you mean, I have ones I use for weights and ones for cardio!

Mary - poor you! Like Jody says, don't start working out till you're ready - you don't want to knock yourself out!

Lisa - thanks!! Actually, coffee percolators seem a bit old-fashioned to me, very 80s! Most people in UK drink instant coffee (yuck!!) but if they make real stuff they use a cafetiere (coffee grounds in, hot water and then a plunger to push the grounds down). I first saw the pot I use in Spain in the 80s. We buy an expensive Italian brand (Bialetti) and they're brilliant! I'm complete coffee snob!!

Roxie - hope the migraine has cleared

Jody - I'm more of the 'I'll wait till something falls off' school of medicine! 2.30?!! Yeeuurrrghgh! That's probably why I can't make any sense of your last paragraph!! :p

Feeling a lot better today - the dizziness has completely gone, thanks for your concern. Work is a pig (no other way to describe it!) but we've got a bank holiday weekend so I'm hoping to have a bit of a break (although my parents are here, so not quite so restful ;)) Did KCM Muscle Definition 1. Not sure if I'll manage any workouts over the weekend.
Oh, must tell you all. I made a chocolate cake last night and as I was making it, I idly glanced down at the nutritional information and discovered it's 728 calories a slice! Now I'm not a calorie counter - but that's 2 meals worth of calories!!! Better be delicious, is all I can say!
 
Well, no w/o for me this morning. Woke up bleary eyed from lack of sleep and sleep meds trying to get back to sleep after work woke me up. Still no coffee pot. Thank goodness DH is here to go get McDonalds coffee. I'm totally discombobulated and hating on work still. DH talked a bunch this morning. So much to fit in since we don't see each other all week, it just isn't the same as talking on the phone :)

Ronne, I've been thinking I wanted your job, after your last post, um maybe not. I feel I'm bailing out on w/o's a lot, I try to make myself feel better saying that at least my eating is in check.

Jody, I thought it was just my discombobulated state for me not understanding your last paragraph :) I've decided on a coffee pot with a thermal carafe, looking forward to shopping this afternoon with DH, hope I wake up by then.

Roxie, the consistancy of your w/o's put us to shame. Still to bleary eyed to even feel bad that I ditched w/o again.

Mary, how's the mouth? I bet you are even chipper when you feel awful.

Murphy, Do I dare admit to no bra sometimes? For weight work only of course.
 
HI all. Qucik stop-in. Todayis the weight portion of 4DS/LIS (lower intensity step). I still am just not liking it. Maybe I need more patience. BTW, DH is okay for right now. His mother is supposed to come this weekend for the week so he better get his act together - or they both will be in the guest room. :-0

Murphy
 
Hi girls! Did YR today, easing back in! Face still is sore, time thing I guess. Murphy, you gave me a laugh thinking of DH sleeping with his mom! Ronne, that cake sounds amazing! Worth a meal or two! I made a guiness chocolate cake a while back, it was fabulous! Lisa, late wake up call? Thank goodness for DH and McDonald's! You probably forget to tell him so much, then remeber what to tell him when he is gone again! I make myself write stuff down to tell mine, otherwise he wouldn't know anything! Actually with this round this week, I have been a little crabby! The pain was so intense, had never felt anything like it before and hope to never feel it again! Jody, I understood your post! Maybe it was the Vicoden? Ha ha! Hope you get some sleep tonite! Roxie, what are you up to today? I have to get busy, haven't done anything around the house since Tuesday! Mary
 
Hey ladies

Must just share the news. My lovely DH has bought me a Kindle! It arrived today and he just gave the parcel to me and told me to open it! Completely unexpected!
What a nice start to the weekend!
