Good Morning BB's,

Today I am doing CC#5, SH triceps and abs. I have to take DD16 to the dentist today and get groceries. If it doesn't rain I will go for a tandem ride with DH.

Had a great weekend at the wedding, reception and visiting with my brother and his family. I met Sue. She is great. I guess all of you that met her already knew that.

Laurie, how did the faire go this weekend? At least it wasn't as hot as the last.

Sue, it was great to meet you and some of your family. How did your DS baseball team do? I am guessing you were up early on Sun. too. Thanks for meeting with me. It was nice to put a face to my online friend.

Susan, did you have a relaxing weekend at home? Hope you enjoyed the weather.

Have a nice day.
 
Hi Karen! That's great that you and Sue were able to meet one another! Glad you enjoyed the wedding.

Our weekend was pretty quiet. We went to community festival Saturday night to listen to the music but otherwise we stayed home. I finished the book I was reading and started a new one. Saturday I did the elliptical for 40 mn and Sunday I did MIS.

This morning I jumed back on the elliptical for 45 mn.

Hope the rest of you ladies had fun weekends!

Stay strong- Susan
 
Susan - Glad to see you enjoyed Harry Potter. We saw it Saturday night and really enjoyed it, too. It's been so long since I read the book I can't remember the details they left out. I know they didn't explain things and assumed most of the audience read the book. I really enjoyed the new character of Luna Lovegood.

Laurie - How was Ren Faire? Anything new to see this year? Did you get your workouts in you wanted to?

Karen - It was a pleasure to meet you on Saturday along with your brother and DS.:) I have to tell everyone that Karen, great gal that she is, didn't get to bed until 2 a.m. Saturday morning after attending the wedding Friday night and still managed to get to the baseball diamond where we met at 8 a.m.! I was the one who was late! DH dropped off DS and I came later with DD. She did some brilliant undercover work to find out DH (aka Rick) was at McDonald's but I wasn't there yet. The game finally started about 9:45 after the rain delay. Too bad your DS didn't get to see any baseball after waiting soooooooo patiently. Our boys actually played very well. They lost both games on Saturday but they really put up a fight. On Sunday they played a team they beat earlier in the season (the ONLY team they've beat so far) and won 12-6. They were very happy to win again. We play this team again tonight so we have to make sure our boys aren't over-confident from beating them twice now. Did you get your yummy coffee? Sounds like you had fun at the reception. Did the kids have fun, too? It seems my kids either have a blast or are bored out of their minds. I'll bet you're glad to be home so you can get your workouts in.

No workouts on Friday or Saturday for me.:-( Yesterday I did BM2 cardio all the way to the upper body segment. (Karen - I guess I wanted to hear "Jessie's Girl".) Too bad DH wasn't around to hear it! LOL (He hates that song. Yes, I am evil.) This morning was PUB (no abs). Hope to do the abs tonight after the game.

Have to go to work early tomorrow and Wednesday so my morning workouts will be shorter. Lately they all seem to be shorter (sigh) Hopefully that will change soon.

Have a great day! Stay dry.

Sue
 
Sue, boy that was quite a delay in the game. Glad they put up a good fight. What happens if they win tonight? I did get 2 mochalatta chills from Cinnabon. Yum!! You should try one sometime. The kids had a great time, lots of cousins to play with. We got back from the reception around 12:30a.m. Yes, I was up by 7:00 Sun. morning. I could have caught your DS game on Sun. too. We stopped at my parents on our way home so we didn't get home until 10:00. Long but fun weekend. Glad to get home and do my workouts. At least we both didn't get our workouts in. You are evil, playing Jesse's Girl. Oh maybe not that mean since you DH wasn't there to hear it anyway. Annette will be wondering who your husband is until she meets him. Hope you get your workouts in even though they are short. It's great you can put your family before exercise. Anyway, it was really nice to meet you. I am actually shy so I have a hard time talking to people. I tried to be outgoing, which is very difficult for me.

Have fun.
 
Hello ladies!

Today I must get that lawn mowed!! I also will be doing Leaner Legs and some abs.

My dog has been very lethargic that past few days. I took her in yesterday and she has pnuemonia! Vet said they catch it from being out in hot humid air then coming in to air conditioning. She's slowly getting back to her fiesty self. She had me very worried there!

Enjoy the day! Susan
 
Hi BB's,

Today I am doing L&G, SH biceps and the abs I forgot to do yesterday.

Susan, have fun mowing the lawn. You are brave doing LL. Notice I picked an easier one. Sorry to hear your dog was not well. Glad he/she is on the mend. What is your dogs name?

Have a great day.
 
Hi Karen! Her name is Ruby.

By the way, I am not looking forward to LL! Cathe can scare me sometimes! LOL!


Susan
 
Hello all - sorry to ask a totally off topic question here, but...
I've posted before - I am a Wisconsin native currently living in NYC. I am looking to relocate back home and am ready to begin an aggressive job search. Do any of you have any recruiter contacts or HR contacts you could refer? I have 10 years of experience in each health care and finance environments, primarily on the operational side. I would appreciate any advise or reference anyone could provide. I'm looking to live/work either in Milwaukee (downtown, likely) or Brookfield areas. Thanks so much!!
 
Hi NY25!

I'm afraid I'm not much help. The only recruiter contacts I know are for the Information Technology (computers) field. Have you tried monster.com and other online job sites?

Sue
 
Susan - I'm glad Ruby is okay.:) I never thought of the temperature change affecting dogs like this but now you have me wondering if this is the reason our male cat pants so much when we take him to the vet for his annual checkup which always falls in June or July. Our cats are strictly indoor cats so they're not used to the heat or humidity. Hmmmmm. . . Have fun with Leaner Legs. I may be in the minority but I find that one easier than Legs & Glutes. The ankle weight segments and floorwork in L&G always kill me.

Karen - Sounds like you're back in the swing of things with your workouts.

The vendors are back! That meant I had to get to work early today (and have to get here early tomorrow, too) so only had time for Step Kickbox cardio. I finally feel like I have the choreography down on this one. Chest is sore from PUB yesterday.

No baseball games tonight - yeah! What will I do with myself?

Sue
 
Hello Ladies,

Sorry this is a short post, but we are enjoying our vacation. Mostly doing things outside that need to get done. Have gone shopping also. Tomorrow we are heading to the Dells for some water fun.

Had a visit yesterday from Jada the 102 lb lap dog. :D She really likes to have her belly rubbed. Hope to hear from the lady who has her shortly.

No workouts for me, I did something to my knee and it has been hurting me. I don't want to chance being out of commission.

Faire this weekend, was really great. Some grumblings about the gentlemans captain, and DH is aware of the problem. We get to hear all this second hand though. Nobody will come to Brian directly and tell him what the problem is. Just like a bunch of children. :D

I will see how me knee feels tomorrow morning, hope I can get a workout in. I do have volleyball tonight, so we will see how it feels then.

Have a great day!

Laurie
 
Laurie!

Laurie - I meant to ask about your soon-to-be-adopted (hopefully, right?) dog. Sounds like everyone got along on your visit so that's good. Have fun at the Dells. Are you going to Noah's Ark or somewhere else? I like Mt. Olympus because they have inside stuff to do if the weather turns bad. Sorry to hear about your knee:-( You're very smart to rest it. I didn't when I first had knee pain and it took a lot longer to heal. I still get flare-ups if I do too much high impact so have to watch it. Maybe you should send those immature guys at Ren Faire over to the mud pit and let them duke it out. Or make them eat mud;-)

Sue

P.S. I like the name Jada. Do you think you'll keep it?
 
RE: Laurie!

Laurie, I hope your knee heals quickly. I was just telling my friend the other day, I can take a lot of pain but I hate knee pain. It drives me nuts!

Well, I over slept today. I was exhausted and decided I needed the sleep! I have a lot of running around to do but I am going to try to be quick! With 2 children tagging along I doubt it'll go as planned !LOL I want to get home and do KPC before dinner! Told DH we'd go cheer him on at his softball game later... If I don't get the workout in it'll have to be my "off" day this week.

Have a great day! Susan
 
RE: Laurie!

Morning,

Today I am doing CC#6,SH back and a stretch. I have to drive a couple hours again to get DD14 to the orthodontist.

Laurie, glad you get your dog soon. Have fun at the Dells today. Sorry your knee is bothering you. Do you know what could have caused it? How did you do in volleyball last night? Hope you knee was o.k. for that.

Susan, hope you get your workout in today. It gets hard when we are all so busy. Have fun watching DH game.

Sue, I hope you are surviving going in early yet again. Take care and have fun with whatever exercise you get in. Yea for the doms from PUB.

Have a wonderful day.
 
RE: Laurie!

Susan - Yep, I can relate to the oversleeping and running around with your kids stuff. I say you should do KPC and blow off your DH's softball game. :+ Do you enjoy watching his games? Does he play more for fun or is his team super-competitive?

Karen - How much longer does DD14 need to have her braces on? My DD was supposed to get 3 baby teeth pulled last week so she can get her bottom braces on but she chickened out and now she has to see a pediatric dentist and use nitrous oxide (laughing gas).

Laurie - Hope you're having fun at the Dells and don't get sunburn.

In early again today but managed to do a 3 mile jog/walk before work. Tomorrow I get to SLEEP IN because I'm taking the day off to get stuff done. If you see me signed onto the Cathe Forums you have my permission to yell at me because that means I'm not getting stuff done. :+

Have a great day!

Sue

Sue, DD14 will probably need hers on another year. My dentist uses nitrous oxide for everything. Great job on getting your jog/walk in. Does that count as your walking for the day? If I see you tomorrow, I'll reprimand you for not getting your stuff done.

Have a great day.
 
RE: bb's

Well, I "technically" did go around the block so it does fulfill my daily requirement.:) I don't like to count my morning workout as part of my daily walk since I started it as something extra to add to my routine each day, but if I'm pinched for time I will count it. Good catch.

Sue
 
RE: bb's

Hi girls,

Today I am doing SH shoulders, abs, and CC#6 Sean. Yesterday I ended up doing SH back, BM2 timesaver cardio and a 20 mile tandem bike ride with DH. He says no more leg workouts until after the time trial. Legs is actually my favorite part to work. Probably because they need so much work.

Have a wonderful day.
 
RE: bb's

Well, I didn't get to KPC yesterday so I did it this morning. I am also going to do my own upper body strength.

Had fun at DH's ball game. The kids love to go cheer on Dad. Unfortunately, they lost but they were short 5 players due to injury! They are a sad site! Those men need to condition more!

Stay strong- Susan
 
RE: bb's

Happy Friday!:) And what a beautiful morning it is! I took our dog on her first walk since she got sick. She was very happy and perky. So glad to have her back to normal!

I will be jumping on the elliptical for 40 mns to do "Sports Training".

My weekend ahead is quiet. Hope to get the kids to the beach and maybe go see a Timber Rattler game in Appleton.

Stay strong! Susan
