Good Morning!

Wow is it humid here! I AM literally melting! Just getting us started. I still need to get used to this place.. hope to bb in a bit

Deb
 
Good morning Deb -

Just finished push and pull. It was nice, about 45 minutes, which I feel is a perfect workout time. BBL after work to post some personals.
 
Hi, I'm back for a bit...

Having trouble with the "Double K's" today...Mr K is being a little pisspot to say the least..will not leave Kelsey alone.

Where are all our early posters? Shelly? Robin? Before you know it the West Coast ladies will be on! The time on these posts is a little off ...it said I last posted at 10:09 am...?? it was probably around 5:35 am...I guess I will check my profile and see if it kept the time I put in..

Tneah:
Good for you for doing that blog...I think I will pass on that option.

Lainie:
I got the invitation to the friends group, but there was no way to acknowledge that I accepted!

Hi to everyone....I hope to start back with personals soon...

Where are the smilies? I miss them from the other forum...

Deb
 
Well I tried to edit my last post and it didnt' work! You can go back and edit, but there is nothing to press when you are done...I think they still have a lot of bugs to work out in here..

Peggie:
Good for you for doing that early workout! I did a new I-Tread (#10) today, that was different...2 minute intervals going between hills, sprints, walking etc.. it went by really fast!

Deb
 
Another thing that seems to be diffferent...you know when you reply to a thread, it brings it to the top of the forum? well it doesn't seem to do that here...I have replied to our thread 3 times and it is still half way down the page...

Deb
 
Morning all. I'm having a crazy morning here at work. I doubt if I'll be back to way later, if then. I have no idea what workout today, if I'll even have time....Yikes, back to work.
 
Good morning Deb! Yeah, I was surprised to see the Monday thread wayyyyyy below our other melting away from figgyville thread. But I found you!

I'm going to try to have a better attitude about all this today, though. I mean, I'm quite impressed by all the new treats and such, but I'm feeling a little...er... "exposed" I guess.

I finished iTread 12 - that was my first time doing that one, and I really liked it! I'll check out 10 - any man chatting about destiny on that one, Deb??? Sorry the K's are being rowdy.

Peggie - Hooray for PP! I haven't done that one in ages! Have a great day at work and we'll seeya later "kitten" (don't know if you saw my other post wayyyy over at Figgyville, but I think it's really cute you call us that).

Shelley - what's up girl?!?!?! How was the weekend with Sophie? :) Any more surprises?????? Here's to a better day!

Robin - Sorry to hear your weekend was crazy and crowded. Hope your day at work goes well, and you get your issue fixed from last week! ;) We're glad you're back! Whatcha think of all this new stuff, eh?

Leanne - ITA - you're NOT being a witch. You're being WAY more patient than I would ever be. Your home is your sanctuary. It's where you are 'safe' and where you can decompress. You can't do that if there's a wrench in your system. Or perhaps I should say a "loose nut?" :D Allow yourself to be upset. Upsetness is not a bad thing.

Tneah - I emailed Tina again because I wasn't sure what was next. I'm guessing I get all my goodies soon, right? How's AF this morning? She's SUPER cranky over here, because I ran and ran. When I got off the treadmill, I thought my uterus might just fall right out. OUCH OUCH OUCH But dangit, I did it. Right? She's leaving soon (I hope).

Hey Lainie - WTH about the nutrition program??? That sucks. Is that one of the things that they're working on still? I watched the little tutorial about it. Looks pretty cool. Kinda like Tneah, not sure how much of this I'll use, but some of it shore looks purty!

Wonder what Shannon is going to think of all this new stuff...:eek:

Hi to everyone else - BBL. Gotta get the coffee. That's what I was running towards in my head... the coffee pot. Sometimes its just the simple things, no?

Ok, so I tried to submit this, and I got scolded for having too many images. I WOULD put a mad face here, but I'm only limited to FOUR images per post.

HUH??????????????????????
 
Good morning everyone!

Phew, I was away from the forums all weekend because I had Lainie's site bookmarked on my work computer but when I got home I realized I didn't have it and had no way to find you guys! WAAAA! Poor me.

The forums are so cool, aren't they? I'm still getting used to them, though. It irks me that the threads with the newest posts don't get put to the top of the page, though. What's up with dat?

And did I hear a nasty rumor that there's a limit on how many smilie's we can use per post?!?!?!?!? W.H.A.T.?!?!?!?!?!?!

I have to get to work. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I can'tbelieve I'll be at the RT in only a few short days! AAAHHHHHH!!!
 
DH is messaging me (on Skype) and guess what he said? Oh, like you would ever guess. I'll copy it below.

do you want to go up north this weekend?
8:39 AM

i thought that we could get a B&B someplace up in the adirondacks (or catskills) for a few days
8:39 AM

i may be able to take friday off if we wanted to leave then, or we could go on saturday
8:40 AM

maybe do a little sight-seeing, get a change of pace
8:40 AM

and a room with AC =)

Eek! I hope he's serious. He asked me to do a little research and see what I can find. I hope this happens.

I am going to go have breakfast now--be back in a bit.
 
EEeeeek! I think I'm a wee bit overwhelmed. What a LOT of changes! Bear with me... it may take me a while to scope everything out in-between work. Hehe. This is just a quick "drive by" post to say Hi. I need to get moving at work. Seems like the whole office exploded Friday after I left, and not in a good way. Apparently there was a knock-down shouting match between some staff and the boss. Oh boy. BBL!!!
 
Morning All

I am so confused about the threads being all screwed up...the most recent are not on on top, they are on the bottom, weird. Oh well, I will get used to it, but I totally missed all of your posts yesterday.

Deb, I am with ya on this one. I secretly miss the old forum, wow am I resistant to change or what? I guess I am one of those "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" types...well not when it comes to my physical person actually, but things like this are hard for me. Bad puppy Keegan, behave yourself!:p I taught Georgie another trick, "speak!". Its really cute.

Robin, sounds like you are one busy lady today, sorry I missed your post yesterday!

Peggy, I haven't done that one in ages, good workout time though, I agree 45 minutes is just right.

BG, have you received your diet and exercise program? As soon as you do, you get started I believe. They should have set up your schedule with Kim too?
Ouch on your uterus girl, running during AF? Whatta ya kiddin' me?:eek:

Allison, yeah for you RT'ers! Its coming up soon!

Lainie, your DH is so insightful and romantic..:D How sweet of him to notice you two need to some away time with AC.

Hi to all you other lovelies this morning, hopefully I can reply better today...

AF has slowed her frantic pace, so now I feel like I just donated like a gallon of blood and am in need of a good steak.:) Will take it easy today and do light cardio and a light workout, I brought the dreaded Slim Series circuit/light weights workout called "Firm it up" I can do here on the boat with my 5 pound weights, wimpy, but thats all I feel like today.

I had to remove my smiley's in order for this to post. Whaaaaa...
 
Hi, all,
Just a quick stop to say "hi" -- I slept very badly -- lots of weird dreams. I have lots to do today, so I don't know when I'll be back. I'll do PUB later and some basic step with my DDs.
BBL, I hope!
 
Wow, I am in ANOTHER bad mood. WTH is wrong with me?!?! Oh, I overslept BIG TIME this morning which means two things:

1.) I had approximately FIVE minutes to get out the door for work (and I ended up being late to the office anyway)
2.) I DIDN'T WORK OUT THIS MORNING. UGH! It's so crazy how much working out in the morning affects my mood and my day. It's the only thing that wakes me up, too. If I don't work out before work I'm a total exhausted zombie for the rest of the day.

My eating this weekend was so bad I can't even begin to try to put it into words. You'd all be repulsed if you knew how much I ate. Plus, the wine I drank didn't help either....

What a wretched way to start the week. Damn, I hate Mondays.

I'm so sorry for not saying anything that is remotely NOT self-absorbed. I just needed to vent to you guys so badly. I missed you all so much this weekend. When the forums came back up I couldn't get logged in so I was reading but had no way to talk to you!

oh and p.s.: I HATE these new forums. hate 'em.

Lainie, with or without the boys? Sounds like fun, either way.

BG, I'm slowly getting the hang, but it will take some time. So, have you spoken to Mr Trainerman? Are you on board? What's the trainerman-scoop?

Leanne, I think I must have missed something big with your BIL? Is he staying? Going? I'm having too many New Forum Issues to go look for myself.

Tneah, I thought of you and Leanne when we were at Dr Frank's, my favorite winery. The somelier (spelling?) referred to California as the "Left Coast." Hope Auntie Flo calms down.

Shelley, hey sugar lips. What's new. Is this weekend CC PP?

DANG! A buzzer just went off, calling me back to work. Hope to be back later.
 
Good morning, all!

Gotta get my workout started as soon as I'm done posting since I'm meeting a work friend for an early lunch and some shopping. This is my friend who has one more year left before retiring, and I'm going to be so sad to see her leave! Her office is right across from mine, and she is just so much fun. Today I'll be doing my second Dove workout; this one doesn't even use a step, so it'll be interesting to see what it's like.

I may not get a chance to be around much today since I have to run errands and go grocery shopping after lunch, but I'll definitely be back to check in with you lovely ladies! Hope your days are all going well so far!

Deb -- Thanks for posting something on the other thread about this one being here! I totally missed it since our weekend thread was below it! Emily/Evily posted something on the OD thread about how to bring up the fancy text editor, which helps with smilies, etc. Also, if you go into your Control Panel, you can set up your time zone. So much to learn! Sorry that the Little K is being so mean to Kelsey still!

Tneah -- I love your three-day rule for guests! Glad you took it easy yesterday and didn't overdo it. Have you done those Slim Series workouts before? The Dove's workouts are supposed to be similar to them. You definitely should eat a nice steak to get some iron back in your system! So will things be hectic for you this week with the boys down from SLC? If not, would you be game for trying to go to SD Fit? If not, we could even do lunch again . . . and I totally understand if this week would be bad for you b/c of the guys being down!

Kristi -- Thanks for posting the link to the pants, and for giving me sizing info. I'm tempted by the black ones . . . . I think Amy B. has them on in the abs portion of her new step workout, and they're so cute! Sorry you had weird dreams last night! I hope you can make it back later to play around on-line!

Peggie -- WTG on your PP workout this morning! Are you still doing lunchtime cardio?

Breckie -- I ran into the same thing yesterday -- where we can't post as many smilies/images as we used to be able to! How frustrating!! Thanks for the kind words about BIL. So you're waiting to get the details on your food and workouts from Mr. Trainer? How exciting! LOL about your uterus falling out; I've felt that way so often while doing cardio when AF is here. UG! ETA: UG!!! So sorry that you lost your post!!! How frustrating!!

Allie -- We missed you all weekend! Did you have fun housesitting? Sending you a big {{{HUG}}}! Don't worry about not working out -- you deserved a nice weekend of eating and relaxing and having fun. Just remember that this coming weekend you will be working out with Cathe like a madwoman! ;)

Shannon -- We missed you, too! It is definitely overwhelming! I think most of us spent some time playing around with the new features, so that might be a good idea to do today if you have some downtime at work. Speaking of which, are they still planning on hiring that new writer?

Lainie -- Thank you once again for being our resident computer guru!! That would be so much fun if you got away for the weekend! Would it be adults-only? Could you find a sitter for the boys?

Shelley -- Where are you at this morning, chica? Are you doing OK? How did that crazy CrossFit workout go yesterday?

Robin -- LOL about the "Left Coast" statement. I've heard that before, too. Things are sticky with BIL right now; I had a meltdown over the weekend when he told DH that he wasn't planning on moving out until at least September. Ug!

Hope I didn't miss anyone . . . . Love to all!
 
Let me try some version of this again.

Just finished with NapMax - sat down with my coffee and oatmeal and had an OVERWHELMING tiredness. Good thing I'm off today. Guess it wasn't the best plan to run as hard as I did. Hindsight. Whatever. But I wanted to go as full force as this body could (which actually was sub-par) because I wanted to relieve some stress and was feeling bloated and disgusting... you get the idea.

Lainie - AWWWWWWW! Big brownie (mmmmm brownies) points for DH! Let that man whisk you away. Now just keep your eye focused forward! Oh, and while I have you here, why does my browser keep "refreshing" and sticking that extending green line across the bottom? IT IS BUGGING ME. :mad:

Robin - I'm waiting. That's what I'm doing. Waiting. I've emailed them to see what's next, and they're pretty on the spot with replies, so I should know something soon. Have a good day at work!!! LOL about the "left coast" thing.

Tneah - Your workout sounds perfect if you're feeling like me. I should have done something more like that! Oh well, I just felt the need to push push push since I've been such a sloth lately. Does Mr. Trainerman email or fax the plan? (she runs to check the fax and grabs another cup of coffee on the way back) Nope, nothing.

Hi hi hi hi hi Shannon! Thanks for driving by! We'll see you when we see you, but can't wait for you to come back here. I need to be around my Melty friends. SOMETHING normal, please.

Kristi - what's up with the dreams, sistah? I hate that... sometimes my dreams seem so real, it's hard for me to get over them - and sometimes can take me almost a whole day! I hope you have some peace today, and maybe can sneak in a NapMax of your own!

Hi to Leanne, Shelley and Kara! Where are you?

Allison - sorry you missed your workout. But you had major fun this weekend, no? That's the thing to focus on! Hope your day gets better, and if it doesn't, you can come be cranky with me!

I DON'T WANNA BUDGET MY SMILIES!!!! (stomps feet):mad:

Yes, I'm cranky. I already admitted that. Guess is hasn't dissipated yet. So sorry all.:(

***Amazing timing alert: Just got a little sweet precious darling email from a buddy that made me smile full-on, ear-to-ear (well, almost) and flashing almost every single one of my braces****

Sorry if I left anyone out, but if I did, I still love you all and consider you my friends. I can prove it too, because I have to list them on my profile.:rolleyes:
 
Hi Leanne - we were posting at the same time! Enjoy your lunch with your friend!!!! So now I know where you are. Now I just gotta find Shelley and Kara. Everyone else is accounted for, no? (meaning they have posted today)

Hey Leanne and Kristi, Shannon:D

Leanne
, I can't see why the middle of next week wouldn't work out nicely for our little trip to SD Fit? I have a pair of the KOS cargo's in white. They kinda have a high waist or something and make my butt look long, on me, that is NOT to say they do not look super duper cute on you and Kristi! The Slim Series is dreadfully boring I have to admit, but its nonstop lifting for an hour, it works, but the instructor makes me yawn. But its a doable on the boat and mellow, perfect for those kinda "out of it" days like today.
The boys are down today, later on, so I need to go out and grocery shop...might have to pick up some steaks. I usually hate red meat, but crave it certain times of the month. Have fun shopping!

Kristi, what kind of dreams? I hardly remember mine, Lainie has quite the dream life for sure!

Shannon
, take the time to play around, these forums are kind driving me crazy too.


Robin, I like the way you can use color, pretty cool huh?:D

Obviously, I still have not worked out yet, need to go up and ride the bike, doing an easy one today. BBL chica's..



 
Hi everyone! I am off to get a vehicle emissions test done. Yea. I did CC7 on the treadmill this morning for the first time and it was awesome! Coach Sean is so motivating and dreamy...Then I did 4DS Legs and Cathe had me cursing! I can hardly wait until STS!!!

OK, these forums are beginning to get to me. Yesterday I realized that everywhere I went was being tracked. Yikes! Aren't I allowed to be nosey without anyone knowing??? I can just imagine some Catheites wondering who the freak that squirrelly chick is! I am really not a freak or anything, REALLY!!!

Kristi--I hope your mood improves soon!

Leanne--Have fun lunching and shopping!

Tneah--Enjoy your workout today!

BreckGirl--You hit it on the head with the word *exposed*! I think you asked the other day how the painting was coming...poorly! Oh, and we have been in this house for 3 years. I hope you feel better later!

Shannon--Hey there! I hope things calm down at work!

Shelley--I was looking at the Crossfit site last night and was a bit overwhelmed. Where do you find the best workouts? How did yours end up yesterday? It sounded tough!

Lainie--I hope DH goes through with the plans. It sounds like a very nice break!

Allison--Rough morning, eh? Mondays stink! I hope you feel better later.

Deb--This IS a lot to take in, isn't it? Sorry the pups are not behaving! I hope things improve soon!

Peggie--Hi! How are you? It sounds like you had a good weekend!

Robin--Sorry about the crowds. yuck. I hope work slows down a bit, so you can come play!

Well, I am off to the emissions testing. Have a good day, ladies!
