Yea tax season is almost over.

Everyone decides April 1st they better get their taxes in, so today has been busy. Hope everyone is doing ok. I leave for vacation April 17. I won't get much more exercise in that week but should get lots of walking.

Joan
 
Hi, Y'all!

Joan, walking is good! I know you are looking forward to vacation.

I posted earlier, but I did Tracie's Reboot 2 today. I am exhausted, I had a very busy weekend! Today, dh and I found a car for me. This has been a strange and hectic week. This has all worn me out totally!

Have a great evening, everyone!

HI all!

Yay Joan!! There is light then!

Magnolia You are getting a car?

Same here with hectic. :confused: AND my throat has been scratchy all day. My headhurts and I feel like yuck.... aaacckkk!!
 
Good morning, Y'All!

I am still very tired today, so I did a Classical Stretch routine. These are not easy routines--she makes you work! Anyway, it was all I could handle today, and I feel pretty good now.

Jann, I am getting a newer car. It's new to me, anyway. The accident last week resulted in my car being totaled, so dh and I went yesterday and found another car for me. I did not want anything fancy, I don't drive that much, but need something reliable. Our mechanic is going to give it a going over while it is under warranty. I think it will be fine.

I hope you are all well. Have a great day!

I love spring! My yard and my newly planted last fall tulips... Next year they will be even better!

Jann I always love to see your yard. I'm sorry my lilac and fruit trees have finished blooming. Everything is early this year but has been beautiful. Now my roses are blooming.

Joan
 
Hi, Y'All!

Jann, what beautiful pictures of your yard! We have jonquils, but the other things haven't really started yet. I see so many beautiful trees everywhere. I love spring so much!

Haven't felt well all week. I had a very hectic weekend, and I somehow haven't been able to quite recover from it. I managed to workout on Monday, but it has been kind of sketchy since then. I received a couple of free doses of Allegra, and thought I would try them. Zyrtec turns me into a zombie, but this stuff just made me too tired to do very much of anything. I guess I will go back to my Clairitin.

Stay well everyone and have a great evening.

Magnolia
 
Happy Easter weekend everyone!

Jann your flowers are stunning. They are so bright!

Magnolia, that stuff makes me tired too! I'd rather sneeze I think. You seem to like that reboot DVD? I think I will try it too.

Joan, glad the tax season is almost over for you! Where is this vacation going to be?

Hi Kim!
 
Happy Easter, Y'All!

Hope you all will have a great day!

Yep, Beth, I do like the Reboots. They are different from Cathe, but I really like them a lot!

Have a fantastic day, everyone!

Happy Easter.

My family get together is next weekend. I think I will have more time to visit then.

I'm glad dil and kids went to her parents for Easter. I still have a lot of work to do.

DS just got home from a 4 night stay in a detox hospital. I had not known he had been drinking that much again. He said he was drinking 2 pints of vodka a day. Once you start drinking that much even if the problem that caused the drinking is gone you feel sick if you don't keep drinking. I had no idea. He was being harrassed and threatened at work by another employee and he has at last been fired. DS was very lucky he wasn't caught either driving or at work. He at least refused to drive with the kids in the car but what about all the other drivers with kids he could have killed? He feels so good now and will keep up with AA so we can only hope. He feels it is a sign that he was released on Easter and is hoping for a "rebirth".

Joan, my heart goes out to you with your DS. I have had some similar situations in my own family that I can not share publicly, but would be happy to talk to you privately if u need support. I know what you must be going through

I bought an x box for Easter. It is really just to have fun, but there seem to be some good work out programs. I did not like how they scan you in though. I tank I'm fatter than I thought

Today, I'm greeting off my duff and getting to it! It sure what though. I'm missing a plan! I read Janie's blog this morning though and it got me fired up!!
 
Good Morning, Y'All.

Oh Joan, I am so sorry to hear that your son and your family are going through this. I, too, have a son that gives me heartaches sometimes, not by drinking, but I won't get into that. You have hugs and prayers from me for you, your son, and your whole family.

I did Figure 30 Hips with Tracie. I needed something short and a little different. She and Cathe both can really kick behind in just 30 minutes!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. Mine was quite busy, but really nice.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi, Y'All!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the spring.

I did Cathe's Push Pull this morning. I like that one a lot, and had not done it in a while.

All is well here.

Have a great day, everyone!

Magnolia
 
Good morning, Y'All!

Joan, I know you are probably extremely busy about now. I am sure you are looking forward to your vacation!

Jann, Beth and Kim, I hope you are all busy enjoying the spring and (hopefully) the beautiful weather.

I just did After Burn Express. It's about all I have time for. I am taking another course, and I have a lecture today. I just started this week, so how can I already be behind in the reading? (Because the professor said, "I want you to read the first two text books by next week.":eek:)

Have a great day, everyone!

HI Magnolia. I have been trying to get rid of this cold. It's not a terrible one, just a pain in the head one. ;)
You go girl with those workouts!! And another class -- I am very impressed!

Beth - The x box scan's you -- what?? :confused:

Joan -- many prayers for you and your family.

Kim -- you hanging in there?
 
Hi everyone!

I just finished the last of my statistic course. Only the exam left now. Then, I am really going to get after it on the diet and exercise!

Yes Jann. Te Xbox kinect scans your body then projects you up o the screen so you can watch yourself workout. The bad news is you can see the at layer.

Well- there is road trip this weekend. Wouldn't that be fun to do?
 
Beth -- :eek: These toys are getting v-e-r-y personal -- :D

I think about going on a RT every single year. It would be so much fun to meet so many people that enjoy the same thing as I do.
I have a friend going to the Chicago one this weekend. I told her I wanted pictures and stories. :cool:
I've thought a lot about just going to NJ for a class. It could be a day trip for me. The silver sneakers class - :rolleyes:
 
I thought about the Chicago trip but of course it's just at the wrong time.

I will be leaving for Las Vegas on Tuesday. I will be back late on the 24th. I must start on some exercise program then. I may even look into getting a trainer again for a short time.

My eating has been out of control Thursday-Saturday. I know when I am tired I eat to get energy. I ate 1800 calories of cookies on Thursday and nothing else.

I must be in my post tax season let down. I am tired and am goingto bed.

I have always liked fitnessfreak's rotations so I will start her Get ready for Summer 2012/Coach Sean rotation when I get back. If not that one I may try the January double rotation. Starting with the 1 month recharge and then the 3 month transformation.

I just bought 2 cute dresses that I probably won't wear until I lose my pouch. I think all the extra weight is hanging on just above and below the waistline.
