Morning, girls. Greetings from the crankmeister who did NOT wanna get up this morning. *lol*

I had more nightmares last night. Sheesh! I guess it is just all the pressure and stress right now. I dreamt that I was on a cruise ship with my family. My sister and I were out on one of the upper decks, and she said she needed a drink. Suddenly, a massive storm with insane waves hit, and we had to hang on for dear life. When I turned back and called for her, she was gone. I kept shouting for her and looking for her while trying to hold on, but she was nowhere in sight. I feared (in the dream) that she was swept overboard, and I was fighting my way to go find my parents. I then woke up in the middle of the night, and when I finally got back to sleep, I was back in the same dang dream. (Don'tcha hate that?) This time, I was with my mom on an upper deck - lots of others up there. The storm was intense - water was actually coming up over the sides - and the ship was rolling, pitching steeply forward and then back. A few times we had a near miss with another large ship. Finally, we made it to port, and we finally ran into my dad as folks were getting off the ship.

I peeked in the dream book and it said stormy seas and tidal waves can indicate extreme emotional upset and stress and signal a need to confront a problem before it overwhelms. Fairly right on, I would say!

Angie :: wow, you go pretty heavy on the one-armed rows. I use 25#s and may need to upgrade soon, but I really do NOT want to buy more big, clunky dumbbells. They all don't fit onto the DB rack I have as it is! Gotta figure a solution.

OK, time to go get ready. Today is a scheduled rest day for me.

Hope it's a good one!

Morning Girls.

Well, I managed to be totally lazy and useless y'day and completely blew off my work out as well as pretty much EVERYTHING I could have possibly done y'day. UGH! I was planning on making it up today but doubling up on my work out to get it all done and wouldn't ya know, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling sick! I'm running a slight fever and feel pretty gross. No work out for me today unless this thing goes away as quickly as it came on....x(

I apologize for never coming back to catch up on personals y'day either. I was reading as you girls were posting but just wasn't in the mood to post. What a waste of a day....

Cathy: You've been plagued by many nightmares since you got so busy. Is there anyway you can pull back the reigns a bit? Sounds like you need a breather.


Alrighty..the munchkin is complainin' up there. That's my cue to go ladies but I'll be back!
 
Good Morning Ladies

I had a busy but productive weekend. I am feeling the need to take a few days off work soon. I ended up doing absolute kickboxing yesterday. The change of pace is exactly what I needed.

I'm going back to heavy lifting 4 days per week-following the program I got from Ms. Fit. I can do the weight work at the rec ctr and the cardio at home. It works out nicely now that I have my lunches back.

Cathy-sorry about the bad dreams. I don't usually remember my dreams. Does that mean I lead a boring life? Great job getting those taxes filed already. I don't have all my donations recorded yet and I like to have a few days to think about them. I'm a little later filing this year but I'm trying to get more of a refund-if that's even possible.

Wendy-Hope you start feeling better soon. My son has been sick for about 3 weeks now. I have taken him to the Dr. twice and they have not gave him anything.

Angie-so are you buried under a ton of snow? We will have temps in the high 40's, low 50's this week. I make a similar crock pot chicken recipe and my famiy loves it.

Laura-hope you had a great weekend.

Hi Ladies.

Diana: Jeesh...3 weeks and the poor kid gets NOTHING to help him get better!?!? x( So have you scheduled those vacation days yet? }(

I haven't worked out yet today and probably won't. I took ibuprofen and it knocked the fever out but once it wore off the fever came back. If I have to control it with meds then I hate to say I'm better off resting. I thought about squeezing in a work out in between ibuprofen doses cause I'm tired of being a slug but wisdom dictates otherwise. x(

I guess that's all for now...BBL!:)
 
Hey girls~

Wendy :: two days of rest hardly makes you a slug! Sorry to hear the bug persisted on ya. IA, a fever dictates no plowing through it. Rest up and feel better!...Yes, you are right. I'd thought about doing more NB work tonight but decided I need a *real* REST night. I'm just going to grab my book and kick back. I do have a small amount of prep to do for a meeting I have tomorrow afternoon with a whole crew of honchos, but that's it. (It's about my message boards that I proposed back in August. Finally! :))

D :: *lol* No, I would not say you lead a boring life at all...I often remember dreams, and sometimes they are extremely bizarre. I realized after using Turbo this year that I need to keep track of donations. Do you ask for a receipt?

Hi to Ange and Laur. Hope your Mondays were decent to ya!

Hi again girls..

I went the rec ctr at lunch for a heavy leg workout. The weight room was way to crowded so I decided to do my own thing. Thanks to you girls I had no trouble coming up with my own leg torture. I did 2 laps of walking lunges with 10lb db's. My arms were getting tired 'bout half way through the second lap. Then I tried to so some one legged squats, my legs were shaking too much for those. I did DB deadlifts with toes lifted (3X15) supersetted with plie squats (3X15). I used the heaviest db's available which were 12's. I also did roll-ins, one legged roll-ins, glute tucks and inner thigh squeezes with the ball. I finished up with some ab work.

Wendy-best to rest for you missy. I hope you feel better soon!

Cathy-I try to get receipts for all my donations and try to keep a spreadsheet with the date, check number, amount and payee. You can also you a copy of your check or your returned check as your receipt.

Hi to Angie and Laura!!

Diana
 
Evening Folks!:)

Cathy: So didja really kick back and relax tonight...hmmmm??? I beg your pardon missy but today makes THREE rest days in a row, not just two!:p LOL I know three days of rest isn't going to do any damage. It's just that I get restless and want to work out and if I don't, it nags at me until I do. }( I think part of my problem is that I do not lead a very active lifestyle aside from my work outs. If I did, perhaps the time off wouldn't bother me so much.

Diana: Good job creating your own leg work out.

Ang: Where are you hiding girl? Am I going to wake tmrw morning to the usual late night Angie post? :+ You were doin' pretty good for a while there at posting when the rest of us were still awake but it seems old habits die hard, huh? LOL :7

Well, I did not work out. I was tempted but I put the thought out of my mind. I felt great for several hours after my last dose of ibuprofen but just within the last half hour I've started to feel sick again. BLECH! I'm goig to be taking nyquil shortly in hopes of being ready to hit the bed at 9 for a good night's sleep! Wish me luck!

Nighty night!:)
 
Hi all

So, here I am again with my usual late night post. *lol* It's not that I prefer to post late, it's just that on Mondays and Wednesdays I work all day and only have time for a workout, dinner, cleanup and then, finally the laptop! If the boys have homework.....it's even later.:-( I don't have internet at the office b/c we don't really need it and it would only be a distraction that I don't need there.:7 Actually, I've been working a lot more than my usually 2 days per week until I get this tax stuff wrapped up. Hopefully I'll have it completely done this week. I'm going in tomorrow to see if I can get a huge dent in it.

Cathy - Wow! That's some dream.:-( It started out good with the cruise ship but went south very quickly. I think a total rest night would be good for you. Do enjoy!!
I have my DB's on the floor in front of the big screen TV downstairs. I need a rack or two as well. Cathe keeps coming up with such new and interesting moves that it will be interesting to see how much weight I will need. I know in the 4DS plie squats I could handle more than the 30's she uses. It looks like she heavies up in STS.
Best of luck with your message board idea tomorrow! I'll be eager to see how that goes. Keeping fingers crossed......;)

Wendy - Aw shoot! That stinks about the yucks.:-( You are smart to stick with rest and plenty of fluids. Take it easy and you'll be able to get back to it before ya know it.
Cracked up about your comment about the late posts. Morning girl!:7

Diana - My DH never remembers his dreams either, but he talks in his sleep sometimes. He laughs out loud in his sleep too. He must have good dreams.:)
Zach's still sick???;( Holy crap! Any change in symptoms at all?
Would you mind sharing your crock pot recipe? I liked my invention, but you could really taste the broccoli and it wasn't the boys' favorite. It also turned out runnier than I would have liked and it didn't look very appetizing at all.
The boys had another snow day today. It was blowing a lot last night and it's really cold. I think a 2 hour delay would have been plenty. They also have a half day Thurs and off Friday for conferences. Sheesh....it's gonna be a long week.
Sounds like you got a killer leg w/o in at the gym. Good goin' girl!!;-)

Laura - Did you get a 3 day weekend or are you still recovering from a weekend full of CABs?

Well my post to Diana just reminded me that I have PTC's tomorrow night. So, I might be later than usual posting. I'll be here.....maybe at midnight.....but I'll be here...LOL!

Have a great Tuesday all

Angie
