YAY!!!! Wendy, that's so awesome!!!! Happy driving!! What a thrill!

Just finished my WO for the day. Did original bc cardio (that's rough back to back) and then turbo jam cp 1. I ***love*** tj. It's not super intense but I'm really intrigued by turbo fire!

Gotta shower and eat but I'll be back later!
 
a, nice wo! i dont have anything by chalene but tfire sounds intrigiung to me too!

im hoping for a fun day w/ the grils. we're headed to the msu small animal day adn tehn oit to luch. home for js nap then i have some errands - lots to do from being vehicleless all week. need to restock the frisge!

13 days til florida and i cannot wait!'

wo will be cs and maybe some cardio.

sorry for the typod --- in the dark!
 
Morning ladies! I am up early to get my workout in for the day, but feeling a bit queasy so I am not quite ready yet. Today is opening day of little league, so Collin and I will be at the ball field all day!

Congrats Wendy!! We knew you could/would do it!
 
thanks for shout-out kate, i feel like a supa stah!!! yes, i am beyond excited.

katie, try a little something to eat and see if your belly is better? if not, id just wo later in the day rather than feel queasy. have a great opening day! good luck to collin!!! such fond memories of little league with my ods. time committment could feel overwhelming but overall it was a lovely way to spend afternoon/evenings with kids having a blast, doing something healthy, outside. we also met lots of adult friends through LL over the 8 yrs ods played.

angie, i really enjoy TJ, too. borrowed a few from my neighbor before and they were great for a day when i didnt feel like a wo but had to ake myself do something, super fun and the time would fly! then she wanted them back, too bad for me.

if i ever hit the lottery there are a bunch of BB systems i would buy! TJ, BBL, P90X, the new Sin6...

did just buy 2 new ones with a B&N gift card - strong knees (which ive take from the lib so many times it just seemed right to buy it) and KCMs 30 min to fitness kickbox. they better get here before i leave.

TO EVERYONE... thanks for all the encouragement you guys. i never felt so low as i did on wed after i failed. it was just terrible especially becuse i KNEW i could do it, i deserved a license more than some of the crazy schmucks on the road in boston! anyhoo, goes to show if at first you dont succeed, try and try again. so THANK YOU for the support. i really needed it.

plane tix are bought -- we leave thurs 4/22. direct flight to SF and DH will pick us up there. I am so looking forward to this adventure!! packing is my new stressor, but then theres always something =)
 
ok, major life hurdle overcome.... now to get the eats back on track. dinner out with my family last night was not a successful exercise in clean eating. arghhh.

b - corn flakes, banana, milk (out of outmeal)
l - br rice cali roll
d - better be clean, seriously, enough already

kate, get that fridge stocked!! lol i am donig exactly the opposite, in fact i will totally empty the fridge and turn it off and leave ajar while we are gone.
 
Katie, Good luck to your big boy!
Hope the queasies subside and you dont get pukey!

Wendy, :D:D You ARE a SUPA STAH! :D:D:D Thursday will be here before you know it!
When we leave I deplete the fridge too but I need to restock our fresh stuff til then. We are OUT of fruit!
yay for new vids! It's been a couple weeks for me - I think I'm due for some! LOL! DH would DISagree!:p Silly man!:p:D
 
hey everyone. i had the best evening last night. dh went out with friends, and the kids and i played with the neighbors until almost 7. quick dinner then bed - it was great! i did not sleep well (dh came home late) but got in 8 miles and 30 min of circuit weight stuff - pushups, burpees, lunges, dips, etc. dh is at work, and i am home with the boys, but we go up to the base for a picnic, right at nap time:mad: i will make an effort. eats were squeaky yday. today will be another day.

angie, great wo. i love bc cardio as an add on. i am intrigued by chalean extreme -short weight wos sound good. but i cannot justify it. hmmm - wonder if netflix has it.

katie, my queasiness felt much better while i was exercising. it was tortue to get myself going, but i would fee so good after a long run. enjoy the ball field.

wendy, so glad you haev your tickets. are you shiipping stuff out there or just suitcasing it?

kate, have a fun day for sure.

i got in an hour of power yoga yday afternoon and it felt great. off to ride bikes with the boys - bbiab
 
Morning!

Had fun yesterday with my neighbor-we went to a local steakhouse for dinner:) And I got both my workouts done! Today I'm getting my hair cut and colored maybe hitting Old Navy:) I need to do a 30 minute run/walk and BBC Shoulders/Back. Oh, and I forgot to mention it here but Danica got selected to take her Grade I Cecchetti ballet exam which means if she passes she'll get her pointe shoes! She's very excited! It's a very difficult exam and she has to take extra classes to prepare for the exam in June-so proud of her!


Angie, I'll have to go check out Turbo Fire-I don't have any Chalene either.

Kate, have fun with the girls today and bundle up! Gotta love April in Michigan-83* one day and 43* the next-brrr!

Kate, have fun with Collin!

Congrats Wendy!! We knew you could do it!! Ok, now I want new vids! I'm really leaning toward the BBL-bikini season is coming up quick!;)

Nina, I'm just now having coffee! And you've accomplished more than I will in the whole day! Hope the picnic goes smoothly-can you put them down a bit earlier maybe?
 
good morning klaudia! glad you had fun l;ast night - it is nice to go out with girls. that is great about danica. you asked how many days i run - generally 6 a week, but sometimes if my mileage is lower i will do 7. i thought of what you said about hating am workouts but having to do them when you get a job. my job is 2 miles from a gym that charges a day rate. i know if i ever miss an am workout on a work day, i could use it during lunch. something to think about anyways. no need to make yourself sick in the morning:p have fun at old navy - i cannot wait to hear what you get!
 
Hey all,

Just got home from running some errands with the fam. It's a beautiful day. The girls were riding their scooters on our cul-de-sac this morning and having a blast. I had the window open while I was working out and I was just listening to their laughter as they rode down the hill!

Kate, sorry you were up with J again. Still no nursing at night? All your dark typos were making me laugh. Have fun with the kiddos today. And I think Chalene is fun. I'm tempted at CLX as well.

Wendy, I'm so glad you are done with that driving stuff and can move on. Good luck with your packing. How long will you be there again?

Katie, have fun at Collin's opening day. So fun! Sorry about the queasiness. Working out was not an option for me. I was just all around miserable.

Nina, glad you had a good night and great WO this morning! Sorry about the picnic during nap time. Is it starting to get hot there?

Klaudia, sounds like you had a fun night and CONGRATS to Danica! That's so exciting. Have fun getting your hair did. :)

I need to make some flash cards for my last anatomy exam!! YAY!!! I have to get a 62 on it to still get an A in the class so my motivation is dwindling... but I HATE taking a test and not knowing the answers. It's the worst. :)

BBL.
 
Hi Girls !

It's so GOOD to hear the excitement you are feeling Wendy!!! :) I'm happy that you can start the next part of your adventure now .

We've been all over the place this morning. The next project for us is to put in a patio off the SIP............we are trying to decide on materials, and size, etc...

No workout yet today and I think we are going to lunch at Texas Roadhouse. :) :)

Braydens football game at 5 and I can't wait !!!!!

Just wanted to pop on and say hi. It sounds like everyone's having a nice weekend so far.

:)
 
Hi, everyone!

Becky, have fun planning your patio, that kind of stuff is so fun.

Angie, good luck on your last exam! You're doing so great.

Nina, I had a fun night, too, but mine was out! I had dinner with a friend and then stopped by a bar for a drink at a going away party for someone I used to work with years ago. My SIL still works there (I inadvertently introduced my brother to his wife), so I didn't feel awkward going. It was really fun to be out on a Friday night past 8. I don't remember the last time I did that.

Klaudia, I meant to post on FB, but I think I forgot--please tell Danica congratulations from me! That is so fantastic.

Kate, how were the little critters?

Wendy, wooohooooo! You go, girl! We are all so happy and proud of you! How long will you be in Cali?

Katie, little league sounds so fun.

Hi Clintonya and Colleen!

I had a very busy day yesterday, which was good. Today I was super lazy all morning, but I just got done running errands and now I'm going laundry. I'm going to try on the new dresses I got again. I think I'm going to return them. They just don't fit right. But I'll try them one more time to be sure. And tonight I'm going to that shindig at the state library, which is where I used to work, so a whole bunch of people I know will be there. I'm looking forward to having them gush over how I look. I can say that to you guys, cuz you all know how vain I am.

Have a good afternoon, everyone!

MSU was COLD! but it was funt o see the baby anmals. Julia loved it.
Clean lunch out and I just finished TrFit. That's a good WO! I did need to use the heavier tension band in certain spots like deadlifts but overall it was great. No plans for the rest of the day other than some errands - hopefully alone!

Nina, Hope the picnic goes well! Missing naps usually goes better than I think it will. I imagine THE ABSOLUTE WORST and it usually turns out ok.

Klaudia, That's so awesome about Danica! Another supa stah!:D
Glad you had a fun night out! I'm itching for a date....oh well.

Angie, Sounds like all is well chez vous! Love the picture of the girls playing!

Becky, The deck addition sounds great! I'm still dreaming of a pool. Need to make some forward steps for it and call the bank.

Anne, Hope you have fun tonight! Too bad about the dresses - they are super cute! I want one but I don't have anywhere to wear them!
 
Well, I got to go to MEIJER alone! Thrilling, eh?!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I think everyone there was trying to stamp out my last nerve!:confused: Anyway, I'm home and making grilled burgers (no bun for moi), roasted sweet potato fries and salad. I will tuck my kids into bed and have a small bowl of ice cream under my covers and all will be right with the world. Aaaaahhhhhh
 
Kate, enjoy that ice cream and your solitude.

Just got off the phone with a VERY old friend who I haven't talked to in almost 10 years. It's crazy how much life changes.

I'm tired. Ryan's playing video games. I'm going to bed.

My lower back has major DOMS - always does when I start up TJ. It's weird. And my chest is on FIRE from yesterday. Good stuff.

We had those mormon missionaries for dinner tonight. It was fun to have company. I wonder if they'll come back though since we gave no inclination of being interested in their church. :) Oh well... just trying to make friends.

Sleep well all! It's late here!
 
Hi Everyone!

Just a quick check-in from NY. We drove up this am, had lunch with DH's grandma, parents and sister. We left grandma because she was exhausted from the visit (she's 92), and hanging out until dinner with the family. No workout today but will need to get one in tomorrow when we get back.

Angie, glad to hear that you are doing so well in your class.
Nina, I hope you don't have cranky boys.
Klaudia, congrats to Danica! Glad you had a nice girls night out!
Wendy, you will survive the packing nightmare!
Katie, how did Collin's game go?
Anne, have fun at the party! I love lazy Saturdays.
Becky, I bet the patio will be nice. Good luck with the planning part.

Have a good evening everyone!
 
Angie, That's so nice of you to have them over! We have Jehovah's Witnesses that ALWAYS come to our house....but I'm def not inviting them to dinner!:p
WTG on the DOMS! I'm a'hurtin' head to toe too. You're makin' me want TJ!!!! So, you get a good sweaty WO out of it????

Colleen, Sound slike you're having a nice time. Have you made any decisions about the job offer?
 
So much fun at Brayden's game !!!! The wind was blowing and we were COLD but so much fun to see those little guys & girls running all over and pretty much clueless to what they should be doing. His team lost but he didn't even know it. He just had fun !! He's the youngest & smallest on the team, but that little guy can RUN ! :) :)
His little brother Jackson was entertaining everyone by dancing to all the music played inbetween plays. Even the announcer was mentioning him through the intercom !!! ("this little one here can DANCE!!!" ) lol
So much fun !
 
Hi and bye! I think I forgot to tell you all that I'm off to Chicago for a conference. I'll be back really late on Tuesday. I keep forgetting that I'm going, what do you think that means? That my mind is not at work lately?! Have a great rest of your weekend and beginning next week!
