6 month alumni Thursday

[FourAM]

Hey guys...It is a super early post for me.
It also a quicky!

We are going to leave here in a few minutes for another glorious work day so we will see if getting an earlier start helps any at all!

Cendrine-Good for you standing your ground. I hate it when stores do that. They say you should read the fine print but it is either so small, you can't, or it is on the thing that the card is attached to, that you hardly look at anyway. I am the same way. I hate feeling like they are trying to pressure you into doing something that you do not want to do and in turn will leave without anything too.
Unless I feel really amped when I get home today, I will take the day off. We will see how the day progresses. Hopefully I am worn out from all the work I get to get done.

Kim-Sorry your mom is so down. I bet it is a weird thing now having to care and comfort your caregiver<---Did that make sense?
Is insanity a similar workout to p90 and sts?

See ya later
Rachel

Hi Rachel, my goodness, you did post early today!
You have all the permission in the world to rest when you get home! Work sounds like a workout in itself!

I did 4DS kickbox and now am gearing up for disk 8 tomorrow.

The thing about the card was so annoying because I have had cards like this before from them and have never had trouble using it. So they must have changed the conditions. The guy said it says so on the card. I didn't bother to look, maybe he was wrong, but anyway, I would have thought that with the way business is slow they wouldn't risk losing sales because of stupid conditions like this... Oh well, I didn't really 'need' the stuff anyway...LOL
I'm on a one month challenge to strictly stay within portion sizes right now and maybe I'll reward myself at a different store at the end if I did well on my challenge...

Well, I'll check back tonight, have a great day! And Hi to all of you, if you are back from whatever fun things you are doing out there!

Hi, girls. Remember me? LOL

I've been in and out for several weeks now, in many ways. Monday, I decided to just pack the kids and me up and hit the beach. We got home last night and the boys had physicals today for school (older DS had 3 shots! ACK! LOL). My grandmother, who is 97 and in Assisted Living, was given her last rights by our priest yesterday. They say she may not last longer than 3 days. My BFF from college, who is ONLY 38, was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, with a tumor on her liver and 3 cancer 'spots' on her spine. It's inoperable and not curable, so they say. So I've had a ton going on around here.

STS-wise, I actually restarted on Saturday (if I remember correctly, lol), but with the spur-of-the-moment beach trip and being so worn out, I haven't even hit disc 3 yet! LOL Not to mention, my PF has really been giving me fits these last 2 weeks. I'm starting to wonder if I should hang up my running sneakers for a while till this is completely healed. I've been fighting with it for a YEAR now and really need to just let it fix itself. Still thinking on that one.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....how are YOU? lol School starts here in just over 2 weeks and we're getting ready to go shopping for backpacks, lunch boxes, sneakers, etc. We'll see on that.

Gayle

p.s. I've missed chatting with you gals these last few weeks. Sorry to have been MIA so much! Once school starts, we'll be back on a normal routine once again!

hey everyone!!

sorry I haven't checked in in awhile. I am at myrtle beach right now with a few beers under my belt. so I am sorry if there are any typos. I am trying to correct as I go-lol. I have not worked out in a week and I have been in the worst slump since the RT. So I hopefulluy will get my act in gear when I get back which isn't until next friday. I did bring a workout to do but who knows.

I haven't even read the old posts just todays. Sorry gayle about your friend and grandmother. That sucks. My hugs to you and your family.

I have to go now.

I was beginning to wonder if we had been abandoned.

Just kidding, I knew something must be going on with you Gayle, to keep you away! I am so sorry to hear about your friend and grandmother. Bad news travels in packs, doesn't it?

It was a pretty good work day for us. We actually got to accomplish a few things. Maybe tomorrow will be the same. I have my fingers crossed.
I am looking forward to a workout tomorrow. I love a good tri burn so I am ready.

Chrissy-Enjoy your rest and you beer. And then when you have recovered from the rt get back to work!

Cendrine-Have you noticed any changes yet from this rotation. I am not sure but I think I might have lost a couple pounds. Of course it might be because it is the end of my time of the month and I always feel better about my body image right after my period. It is the After glow.

OK I think I am going to hit the hay early so I can get up and get my butt kicked by disc 8.

Hope to see you all again tomorrow!

Rachel

Good to have you back, Gayle and Chrissy! We missed you guys!

Chrissy, have fun and enjoy your vacation! Sometimes I just have to let my slump run its course rather than fight it and then it is easier to get back on track afterwards...

Gayle, I'm sorry to hear about your friend and your Grandmother. Times like that are hard on everyone involved!
I would give your PF some tender loving care if I were you. I know you were planning and training for a marathon, or something like it, right? So that is probably a bummer for you to miss. But since you are having trouble with it so much, I would just put my body as priority.

Rachel, I'm glad you guys were productive today! I can't say that I see a difference doing this rotation. But then it's because my portion control has been iffy at best these past few weeks. I'm working on it now though and I should hopefully start seeing some results. I sure don't like what eating too much does to my body!
