BFL Thursday 10/18

Good EARLY morning, ladies! How is everybody today???

Jennifer-WaWa...LOVE their subs! LOL STAY AWAY From the donut counter, though! Keep us posted.

Sorry I didn't get back online yesterday. Wednesday is our crazy day and with DS's BDay, it was just NUTS! LOL

I got up a bit earlier today, because I'm going into the school at 8am this morning to help out with class pictures, then straight to the cafe to play with the kids. lol Looks like they gave that FT Associate's position to another candidate. I haven't been told OFFICIALLY, but I saw her walking around the school yesterday with a few staff members, who kind of gave me a look when they caught my eye. I'm okay with that. If they feel SHE is better for that specific child, then that's what counts.

OK...workout is DONE! I'm a walking bag of DOMS today! Yesterday's leg day has my hamstrings and lower back SINGING today. I used heavy weights for deadlifts (nice and slooooooow)...65/75/85/95 and WOW WOW WOW can I feel it today! LOVE IT! This morning's workout was HIIT on the stationary bike, abs and Stretch Max with my ever-breaking-getting-shorter-by-the-workout band! LOL

Dinner last night was a HUGE success for me. I asked the waitress to make sure my chicken was made with NO oil and grilled, my pasta made with NO oil and no sauce, and my salad was all veggies with balsamic vinegar. I ate only HALF of all of it and brought the rest home. NO CAKE or ice cream either! Zach's BDay was awesome! He was the happiest kid in town when he opened his new DS Lite from Grammy (my mom)...had me in tears just seeing how happy he was!

OK! ENOUGH! Time to shower!

G'Morning Ladies ~

Gayle~ Sounds like your son had a Great B-Day!!! That is Awesome!! You sure are tearing up this BFL, aren't you!! You go girl. Now you can give me a good kick in the rear, hasn't being going so great Last night, Forget it!!! x(

Today I meet w/ the manager at Wawa. I am just requesting weekend work, there is no way I can work 2 jobs during the week. I need the little bit of sanity I have left !
My BF thinks me working at Wawa p/t is embarrassing, he doesn't want people to see that his GF has to work there. It's not like it's my full-time job. I hate that, I can care less what people think of me. I am doing what is best for me to support my kids.

BBL,

"Today is a Gift, Have Fun"

Hi guys! Just a quick pop-in...things have been so busy for me lately! I never got in LIS on Tuesday like I had planned so I am going to do it this morning. For now I'm off to eat and then get DH's lunch for work. I'm going to be super busy for the next week and a half so I don't know how much I'll end up posting, but I'll be movin' right along with everyone!

By the way, did anyone catch Till Death last night? I saw my cousin Tommy on it! He had some good shots of him for being such a small role

Good morning everyone!

Gayle, you go, girl!!! You're doing great. I'm really impressed by how much weight your using. I think I'm going to figure out a way to rig up something to elevate my barbell for squats so I can just step under it and go really heavy. I have a few ideas, so wish me luck.

Sorry to hear about the job. That totally sucks, but I'm certain that there's a reason for it. I know something better suited for you will end up coming your way, Gayle.

And, by the way, my official results on the 5k were finally posted, and I was eight seconds longer than I thought. :-( I don't know why that bummed me out so bad, it's only eight seconds, but it did. I'll bet you understand.

Jennifer, good luck with your interview. I hear you on not caring what people think. You have to do what's best for you and your kids, and I won't be surprised if you end up having a lot of fun at the job!

Jill, I totally forgot about your cousin on t.v. last night! And what's worse is that I actually had the show on, but I was in and out of the room getting lunches ready for today and getting the kids ready for bed. I wasn't able to actually sit down and watch it. I bet he was so excited to get that role and to finally see it on t.v.!

As for me, I made turkey chili last night for supper, and I accidentally over-salted it. I'll admit that I love salt, but this was even too much for my taste. I think it's because I used sea salt and I just ground too much of it. As it was, it ended up being more than the recipe called for, but I realized last night that sea salt has a much stronger flavor than regular iodized salt and I could have gone with less than the recipe called for, so it made a big difference. I ate it anyway, though. :+ And now today I am BLOATED and PARCHED!! Thank God it's only temporary. My goal is to drink TONS of water today to flush it out. (Right after I finish my coffee.)

I've probably taken enough time out of my morning here at work, you think? I better get back before I get busted. Everyone have a great day!

Hi Girls!

Just checking in with you all quickly this morning.

I have a big project at work I have to get to today so I am rather rushed.

I finished my cardio and abs earlier.
BodyMax2 Cardio portions only. Saving weights for Friday.
Muscle Max Abs (phew glad that's done! wow)

Gayle: Not every disappointment is a loss as I always say. Something better will probably come your way.

Jill: I am sure we all completely understand your harried pace with school and all. Good luck in your chem tests! My daughter has a few big test coming up tomorrow.
Darn it! My husband has control over the DVR and erased my pre-programmed show because he doesn't watch it. He recorded some show on eating weird foods...can you believe it?! Just what I need to watch errrr

Jennifer: Thanks for the warning on the Sea Salt! I was just going to make a dish and use the regular required amount for the recipe.
;-)

Jennifer: Your boyfriend probably is worried who will be looking at you and wondering if you are available. My husband would be thinking that for sure if I went back to waitressing! As Jennifer said you need to do what is best for the whole family. Things aren't always set in stone... trying it out to see if it works will never leave you guessing.

Gotta fly! I will be back have a great day!

Hey guys....I have to be quick, as usual! LOL

The principal explained to me this morning why they gave the job to a certified teacher. There are some legal issues going to court over this specific child, the lack of parental cooperation, and the efforts the school is making to care for this child. Needless to say, I'm happy I didn't get it! LOL He gave me a vote of confidence, though, when he said they were impressed with me and that I'd be seriously considered for future FT positions! YAY!

lol

gotta scoot. SORRY!

Hello,

Hi Teddygirl! Good to hear from you and that you are sticking with your workouts. Your split routine looks good, I might give this a try sometime soon.

Just got my 4 Day Split DVD's!
}( Have to sit back and check these out tonight. My husband is going back to work shortly and guess what...the TV is all mine!;-)

My son is over to visit for awhile tonight so I am making his favorite dinner...Baked Stuffed Peppers. Good to have him around for a little while. I see him once a week usually on Thursdays. He lives in town from me with his girl and works full-time. It is nice that he takes the time on his one day off to come see me! Love That!:7

Gayle: Like I was saying earlier not every disappointment is a loss. It is good that you keep in contact with the school and have your name in there for a future position.

Jennifer: Did you get your workout in today? I hope to see your post here saying that you did! I'll be waiting...is this too much of a kick? ;-) Just do your best.

Jessika: How are you doing these days? I hope things are going ok for you. I'll check back later to see if you checked in today.

Same goes for you Kerry. How was your trip?

Take Care,
BBL
