August 09 Check In ***Wednesday 5th***

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies..

Getting us started today..I am scheduled for Muscle Endurance for my workout. But, before I get to that I have to take the kids to the orthodontist for checkups. Chris is getting a consultation for the possibility of getting some and Lauren is getting a followup checkup..

Be back later..

Hey Kathy! ..and all to follow today...

Quickie for now:

I'm heading down to start PH, and then continuing our packing adventure for the beach. Our hotel check in isn't until 3p, so we have a few hours, but I'm WIRED from my 1 cup of coffee and a bad night's sleep....

BBL!

 

[Kathy36]

Have fun at the beach, Chris!!

Ok, We are back sooner then I thought we would be from the orthodontist...Thankfully no treatment yet for Chris. He said he was too young and still had alot of baby teeth and he is keeping an eye on Lauren's teeth too...

Now, I am going to squeeze Muscle Endurance in before lunch because we are headed to the pool this afternoon..

Good morning! Whoa, Kathy..... sounds like you have serious cash outflow to the orthodontist in your future! Nice that it can be put off for now.

Chris! How fun for you to get to the beach. We still don't know quite what we're doing or where we're going, and we want to leave tomorrow, but there's lots to be done before we can leave, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's Friday. We'll see!

ME & Power Hour. I am sore from PH yesterday! Tomorrow is ME for me -- looking forward to it. Today I pulled out CLX burn it off for some short, intense cardio, and then I did the Physique 57 Express total body workout -- that was good, and fun! Chris, do you have an amazon gift card, and thus need to buy from amazon? If not, I'd suggest checking the clips at physique57.com -- they only sell from their site, and they're more expense than the Exhale stuff, but you might like them. I'm wondering if you don't do pilates very often because it doesn't feel like a workout -- that's sort of my problem with it -- well, not that this is exactly pilates, but it definitely feels like a workout!

Melissa, are you checking back today?! Vilma & Hottie, I hope you are both feeling better than you were yesterday. Waves to Joanne! How's the football going?

Oh, Chris.... did you guys order P90X yet?

Have a great day everyone!

I have a ton to do, yet here I am!

Have I told you I am a procrastinator before???

PH..DONE! Did you hear me , Beth, during those static lunges? Okay, first the barbell, got through it, but then she pulls out the 10 lb weights too! That really is a tough workout.

Kathy: Glad you escaped the orthodontist this round. We're also 'waiting out the baby teeth'. Would you believe my 13 yr old is still has a few? Have fun with ME today... that's on tap for me probably Saturday... let me know how it goes.

Beth: I don't have a GC from amazon quite yet, I earn them with my CC. I'll check out that Physique 57 when I get back, remind me! (if you'er still here!). We plan like you this week. last minute. I kind of like it better that way, weather-wise and making sure everyone is ok to go. Sounds like you got a good cardio in today!

Welcome Melissa!: I didn't get a chance yesterday to welcome you to the check-in! Good to have you here!.. Are you doing the AUG 09 rotation too?

to Vilma and Hottie and Joanne !!
I really must get packing... LOL!!!

Hi ladies. Another late check-in for me....long meeting this morning.

Kathy, you are lucky to escape the orthodontist for awhile. Ian had braces a few years ago and now has a retainer. He just informed me that he lost it once again. Arghh! I could throttle him sometimes!! Just kidding, sort of. I'm almost more upset about having to tell the orthodontist for the fifth time that he's lost it than paying for a new one. Jameson has braces now. He got them just a few months after we finished paying for Ian's.

Chris, hope you have a great time at the beach...you should be on your way by now.

Beth, usually those impromptu vacations are the best. No expectations!! When will you be back? Football is good - Colin had his 2nd practice last night and still seems enthusiastic. Except he lost his mouth guard. He claims Caitlyn stole it and hid it. Yea, OK. I don't even think she knows what it is. I'll probably order Physique 57 - maybe next week. Did you get all three?

I did PH this morning. Chris, I was done after the barbell lunges! But, I perserved and did the dumbbell ones.

Well, my eye doctor visit wasn't so good. He wants to do the procedure to lift the flap and clean the cells out. In a way, it's good, because if it goes as planned, I should have much better vision in my right eye. The growth is impairing my vision and it had grown since the last time I saw him. He said he could do it on any Monday. I picked this coming Monday to get it over with. The less time to worry and freak out, the best, right? Oh, he told me he has done 14,000 Lasik procedures and only six patients have the complication I have. Aren't I lucky? Why can't I have that kind of luck with good stuff like the lotto?

Must get back to work...

Joanne

Joanne! Those lunges -- truth be told I put down all weights at one point for those damn lunges!!!

Really, really..... five retainers lost?! Oh no!!! And your story about one going in as soon as the other got out reminded me of Larry's parents.... they had three kids each spaced four years apart and they liked to joke that they did that for college financial planning, but of course it was just a joke.

Bummer about your eyes -- so funny about the lottery! -- but, the bright side is that you'll have better vision. I swear I have dropped off my eye dr.'s charts -- I think I haven't been in in two years, and I know my vision needs help -- I'm afraid to go because he's either going to tell me he has to do the lasik again (yuck!) or I have to go back to contacts -- yuck! So far, me thinks this didn't really pay...... how long will you not be able to work out, do you know?

I spent what felt like a week this afternoon in REI with both boys, trying to get shoes they can hike in without slipping all over the place. All Dylan will wear is crocs, so it was quite challenging. He and I were exhausted by the time we got out.

Larry has admitted we probably won't be leaving tomorrow...... good thing, because I completely forgot to go return a dvd to the library and I think the overdue fines for dvds is $1/day instead of $.25. Given that we're gone a little more than a week, well, considering we didn't even watch the movie, just not worth it! Hey, maybe we'll watch tonight.....
