Morning girls,

I feel like I got run over by a truck. I definitely have the cold that the rest of my family has had and all I want to do is sleep. My kids want to go to the park but we all have these hacking coughs and I just don't think it's the best idea.

So, no WO for me today but I'm just going to focus on my eating because I know that is where I'll really get results. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow. Who knows how long this thing will last.

I'm glad I don't have another exam until the end of the month because I don't think I could study.

Hope you all have a happy hump day!
 
Good Morning Girls ! :)

Angie, so sorry you feel lousy ! Rest and chicken soup !!!

Well, I got picked and am serving on a jury for a criminal trial that will last 2 to 3 days!
Yesterday it was 85 degrees & sunny and I was freezing in a court room all day !

When I got home for the day, I was SO sick of sitting , that I went out and cut the grass (takes about 45 minutes) and then came inside and did 4DS - kickbox cardio !
So I got my workout in !

Today will probably be an even longer day, so I might have to take a rest day .

Mcdonalds is across the street from the court house and where everyone eats lunch, so yesterday I had a grilled chicken sandwich (no sauce, ) and a small mocha frappe. Today I am thinking of a grilled chicken wrap.........maybe sneak in an apple ?? I so do NOT eat at Mcdonalds normally, so I'm doing the best I can. Make do, huh?

Miss you guys ! Hopefully I'll bb SOON !!!

Becky
 
Oh no, (((angie))) take care of yourself! Colds this time of year are always the worst because it seems like the weather is warm and you shouldn't be sick. I think focusing on your eating is a good plan!

Becky, how annoying but cool that you got picked! It is always freezing in court rooms - I know this from experience!

***

Weight is down another pound - yay me for kicking that bloating's a$$!

Tonight my mommy is coming to spend a few days here - we are going to church dinner tonight, and she will stay at home with Collin tomorrow & Friday.

Be back after my workout!
 
Angie, Feel better soon! Sorry you're not doing well! At least it waited until after your sis was gone!

Becky, Sorry for your troubles! When we eat at McD's I get a southwest grilled chicken salad w/ no dressing and pick off the crunchy things they put on top.
Good job getting your WO!

Katie, Was your mom just over the moon aboutyour pg? How fun!
WTG on the ###!

-
The girls have pics today w. the photog and I suppose we'll go out to lunch again.:) I love having them home but I do miss my alone time during Ju's nap. It's been very hard to make myself WO at night but I've been doing it. WO today will be cardio and CS. My sisterLibby and her boyf are coming over for dinner tonight - should be fun!

Ordered 2 new exer vids last night - Pure Barre (origianl) and an Amy abs.

shoot - Ju's waking up - gotta shower! bbl!
 
katie, you sound so awesome, but you haven't told me yet(from yday) - how was your pregnancy with collin?

becky, sorry for the next few days. wtg with the eating choices, though, and the wo ydya. do you get any breaks so you could walk around? what happens if you get sick?

angie, hugs!! sorry about the illness, but that is def good about the test not being for a while.

i took the boys to look at a house across the street yday. it would be okay, not fabulous, but what can you do if it is a rental. it is too much right now, but we will try offering them less. i am sure we'd have to move in right away, and that may mean missing our trip to va to visit dh's parents:( moving is a pain!

i slept in again this am until 6:20. i think i will run at nap time, though i know the chances of me actually doing it go down as the day goes on:eek: wish me luck. last night we went swimming in our neighbors pool. it is sucha good way to cool off. finn cannot swim yet, but he is fearless with his vest on, jumping in, etc. i wish i could get him over the hump, but i am just not sure how. bbl
 
hi kate - we posted together. enjoy your dinner tonight and girl time today. great job getting your wos in. will you wo on vacation? what part of florida are you going, and is this your trip with your colorado friends?
 
Nina, we get some short breaks. 10 minutes for bathroom breaks and there are LINES so not really time to walk around. By lunch yesterday I was STARVED so I ATE , but I would have had time to walk then.

Kate, the salad sounds good. Maybe I'll have that today ! :)
 
nina, moving does sound like a pain - i hope sthing works out for you guys soon!
the pool sounds beyond fun right now!
i might be counting the walking at disney as my wo vaca. im not sure yet. we'll be sharing a condo w/ our friends so itll make wo's difficult - i'll have t see when we get there and take it a day at a time.

becky, good luck today. do isometric squeezes!:D mike gets himself oddly sore doing that during meetings!:eek:
 
Kate, yes my mom is soooo happy about the pregnancy!! Enjoy your day with your girls - can't wait to see pictures!

Nina, how long will you be in Florida? My pregnancy with Collin was pretty easy - hardly ever sick, but I got very very swollen (my feet mostly) and gained a LOT of weight. I will NOT do that again!

GS Legs standing work this am, high & tight tonight!
 
LOL Kate ! I told DH last night that I'd be doing butt squeezes during court today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly felt numb in butt and legs !

Gotta get going , everyone have a good day !
 
good job on your wo, katie! are you liking bbl?

becky, lol! great minds think alike! good luck today!
 
Morning!

I think the girls and I are going to the movies in a bit-before the next round of storms hits. When I get back I'll do a run/walk and abs. Nothing else on tap for today. Robin says hi! I talked to her on FB and she's been really busy. I had a dream last night that I was on the road trip and was talking to Cathe and other Catheletes-crazy!

Angie, I hope you feel better soon! I hate getting sick in the spring/summer:(
Katie, enjoy your mom time! I think I may go over my mom and dad's this weekend to help pack up their kitchen-they having it remodeled:) Hopefully my dad will occupy the girls!

Kate, hope the pics go well. You must have a ton of them! Enjoy your sister time tonight:)

Becky, sorry for the jury duty-hopefully it goes quick. I get the bacon ranch grilled chicken salad with light balsamic dressing instead when I'm at McD's-it's less than 400 calories even witht the dressing.

Nina, I hope you can find a home you like soon! My bf is moving back here from Toronto and is she ever picky and high maintenance about where she lives!
 
Good Morning Everyone!

Did CCC this morning. I have a lower back/glute injury from sitting in the car so much this weekend. This is the second time this has happened and I guess I need to make sure I am stretching more when I travel. I may do shoulders, bis and tris tomorrow instead of legs so my glute has some time to heal.

Angie, sorry to hear you are sick. I hope you recover quickly.
Becky, I usually get the southwest salad at McD's and apple dippers. I don't eat the caramel sauce.
Katie, yeah on your Mom coming to visit. I bet Collin will enjoy some extra time with grandma.
Kate, I think I am going to order P57 instead of pure barre. I am just waiting for my glute to heal before I order. Enjoy your day with the girls.
Nina, I am so ready to jump in the pool. If I didn't have a dinner to go to tonight, DH and I would go and swim laps.
Anne, I saw Cirque de Soliel in Vegas and it was great. I have not seen the one you saw. Sorry about your FL trip but hopefully something better will come up.
Klaudia, what movie are you going to see?

b: oatmeal w/ almonds & apples
l: butter lettuce, leeks, tomato spaghetti
s: strawberries w/ yogurt & walnuts
d: going to a dinner meeting - caesar salad (hope I can get dressing on the side), chicken w/ raspberry & walnut sauce (don't remember the sides - usually potatos and green beans)
 
Morning, glories!

Colleen, ouch! That's no fun. I hope it heals quickly for you.

Klaudia, aren't those dreams funny? What movie are you going to see? Oh, and I am like your bf--very high maintenance and picky about where I live. My surroundings have to be calming to me or it makes me cranky. That's why my new place is just right--as soon as I walked in the kitchen the very first time I saw it I thought, "Aaahhhhhh, relaxing. I can be comfortable here."

Kate, what are you making for dinner tonight? Mexican? What time? Just kidding! :p

Becky, I've never been on jury duty either. Altho I would find it fascinating to see the legal process work up close and personal like that. I considered law school at one time, but decided against it.

Katie, how fun your mom is visiting!

Nina, moving is no fun, but I always enjoy house hunting. You have to see a lot of crap before you find the right space, tho. Or I do, see above. :D

Angie, you poor thing! I second the rest and chicken soup recommendation.

Hi Wendy! Tell me again when your driving test is? Next week? I hope your visit with your FIL is going well. Is your DH settling in out west?

I'm getting my hair done tonight, which I always love. Cut and color, so I'm going to be there a while! But that's okay, it's worth it because I love the way it looks. I have to do one of my webinars this morning and then I have a hard project to work on this afternoon. Should keep me busy! bbl!

anne
 
Oh, Colleen, can you tell me more about this:

l: butter lettuce, leeks, tomato spaghetti

?

Is it a recipe? I love leeks, but I don't really know what to do with them. Thanks!
 
i took a drive with aidan after dropping finn at school to look at homes. renting is so different than buying - we just need to be comfortable and safe, but certainly not a dream home. the area where we are is very old, so nothing is newly done, which can get kind of grungy:( stress hit and i ate too much this am, but luckily it is early in the day, and I WILL WORK OUT!

klaudia, what movie are you guys seeing? sounds so fun. are you inside for your run or out?

anne, when we move for real, hopefully next year, i will be pickier for sure. right now i am leaning toward the house across the street b/c we already have neighborhood friends, which is nice. the house is nothing spectacular, but i think we will fit.

kate, i will need several more yrs before i can brave disney i think. i hope it is not too hot for you guys. we are aout 2 hrs away, so look us up if the park is too crazy;)

colleen, how did you injure yourself sitting in the car? sounds painful. good wo plan.

katie, i was really nauseous first tri with both boys, but it did not stop me from eating - plain, white sugar stuff quelled the nausea:eek: that, and running, so i guess it evened out a bit:p

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven’t been able to post much during the day this week when everyone else is around – work has been very busy. So I haven’t been able to post until I get home. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Clintonya
 
Hi, Clintonya! No worries, we're here for ya whether it's at the same time or not!

I was pretty bummed that the Florida trip got canceled, so I decided some retail therapy was in order. I bought this last week (just because I need it) in the color called New Zealand:

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=26519&pid=730322&scid=730322002&vid=-1

It came on Monday and it's really cute.

I ordered these on Monday and they came yesterday--super cute!

http://www.zappos.com/rieker-56162-dana-slip-on-black

but I really want these:

http://shoes-handbags.hsn.com/womens-jessica-simpson-lizza-tan-black-leopard-fabric_p-5797585_xp.aspx?ac=GPT&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engine-_-Froogle-_-Women%27s%20Shoes%20and%20Handbags-_-5797585&cawelaid=433332883

I can't justify the cost, plus I don't have anywhere to wear them. But they look fun, don't they?

And, Klaudia, check these out:

http://shoes-handbags.hsn.com/sam-edelman-nevyn-leather-laser-cut-platform-pump_p-5651587_xp.aspx?ocm=so|7073|so0005|so0017&cm_sp=Recommended*PD*right&rro=RRPdRight-RI

again, out of my price range, but holy crap are those hot!

My webinar is done and it went well. Now I just have to focus this afternoon. bbl

anne
 
anne, can't wait to check out your retail therapy.

clintonya, hope thew day speeds by.

bad girl here - motivation to wo is zero, and i have been eating garbage:eek::mad:
 
Back from the movies. We saw Dairy of a Wimpy Kid-cute movie. I had to have my parents come pick up Milla because she started her stomach thing again-totally fake and manipulative. She was fine once we came out of the theater, but I couldn't let her do that during a movie! I don't know what I'm going to do with her!

Colleen, good job working through the pain!

Anne, re my bf: she is moving back here solo with 2 kids under 3 while her husband stays on another year in Toronto. There is no reason for her to move back other than she doesn't like Canada and all her family is here near me! So she's going to move in to a hotel-in Novi while she tries to find a house! Makes no sense whatsoever! I love those shoes!! Can you see me wearing the leopard ones to PTO?

Nina, I'll be running on the treadmill today-too yucky out! Talk about eating too much-I just had 3 White Castle sliders!!:eek::eek: Talk about no self restraint!

Clintonya, we'll be here waiting!:)
