Cabs & Abs Wonderful Wednesday!!!

[rmrmr]

Good Morning Ladies,

I'm trying to change my mood and wonderful wednesday sounded good! I was supposed to have a Dr. appt this morning with a fasting blood test. Literally as I was walking out the door, the Dr. office called to let me know my Dr. was out sick today. Okay-Can someone else take my blood? Apparently in a Dr. office of at least 8 Dr.'s, no one has the time to draw my blood this morning. I'm moving on to wonderful now.

Amanda and the babies are doing good. She is on oral meds to keep her from going into labor but whenever she does, the dr.'s won't stop her.

Cathy-I got you PM. Thanks. I'm glad to hear you still love your EXT. I did 40 min hills at the rec ctr yesterday. My calves, hamstrings and glutes were killin me. It was basically a 10 min climb, 10 coming down and repeat again.

Wendy-I hope Joeys test come back with good results.

Laura-I missed my torture class on Monday so I could go to Jerod's choir concert. Thursday is the last day of class. I wish it went through December at least. I'm doing the best I can to follow the rotation I chose, but I'm really missing doing more weights.

Angie-Sorry to hear your business is going to suffer from all the legal BS going on in your state.

I may as well head in to work since I'm up and ready. I'll check back later and see what everyone is up to.

Have a great day ladies,

Diana

Cathy - thanks for the picture of the wrap ... nice .. wonder if I can find something like that around here! that would do nicely .. if not I will have to go w/the leather jacket .. oh .. thanks for sending me your snail mail addy!!

Di - glad the babies and Amanda are doing well! Maybe they can keep those contractions away and let those babies develope a bit more!! Thanks for sending me your snail mail addy!! I am excited!

Wendy I do hope you got good news on the test results on little Joey!

Angie .. are you getting any of those snow storms I have seen on TV .. YIKES!! If a couple of flakes ever fall down here .. the town comes to a hault people close down businesses and let their employees go home .. LOL .. we can't function in the snow!! Oh but we can drive around in a hurricane or flood .. but not snow! LOL

Thanks for the kind words on the news crap! Hopefully we will be old news next week .. LOL!! I know so many people that have written in and called in and dropped their subscriptions .. so maybe this jerk sees he messed up! Let's just hope things cool down now!

Getting ready for the girls party Sat. .. we have one heck of a menu planned .. and going to try some new recipes! My VBF and I put it on every year .. this is about the 12th year ... we lay out a spread and buy all the CABS and make a spiked punch and non spiked punch . invite our friends and all of my class .. play dirty santa .. and some of those girls get down right mean when it comes to getting the ornament they want ..but it is HILLARIOUS!! Usually the cardio queen (the smallest person there) is the one that fights the hardest .. she is so funny!!:+

Good Afternoon Fab Cabs!

I am done with Core Syn. }(

I am soooo sore through my lats, triceps, shoulders and a bit in my abs. I was sore y'day but today it's worse! YEOWCH! Hurts so good though!

Yesterday I decided to head to the gym at 4pm and got in my ITread 13/30 Sprints work out so I was happy with that considering how pressed for time I was.

Tomorrow is a leg work out of choice and a run. }(

Cathy: I have to call the doc tmrw or friday to see if he's read the EEG yet. Assuming that he has read it, we'll know then what's going on with the medication. Fingers, toes, legs and eyes are crossed!:7

Laura: Thank goodness Joey didn't have what you described your dad having. We have believed from day 1 that it was due to be very sick that awful stomach virus that went around last year. We believe that he will be fine once taken off the meds. I admit I'll be tense at first but in the end I know he will be OKAY. I hope your hair color turns out the way you want it to!

Angie: Sorry about the bridge toll hike fiasco. How much of a PIA is it going to be to re-route your drivers so they don't have to take that bridge??

Diana: Sorry about the doctor apptmnt goof up this morning. I'd be pissed too. Heck, it's not even the DOCTOR who TAKES the friggin' blood to begin with! Well, atleast not in any doc office I've been too! I hope your day has improved. Glad to hear Amanda and the girls are doing better.

BBL.

Hi ladies,

I tried to change my outlook this morning but unfortunately my day has not improved at all.

I went to my WW meeting and was up .8lb. I'm sure it is probably just water as we had chinese food for dinner. It's disappointing just them same.

I need to get busy writing a resume. I don't like my job anymore and am being jerked around. I've been here for 171/2 years but the past 2 years have gone progressively downhill. It's time for a change.

Laura-Your party sounds like fun. Have you thought about party planning as your next career? You seem to do a lot of it. I hope your hairstylist can find the color you're looking for. They tend to mix and match colors and don't always have the exact recipe so to speak.

Wendy-Are you using dumbbells for this round of the X or are sticking with the bands? I did a tough elliptical w/o at the gym yesterday. My glutes are still sore.

Hey there, Cabbers!

I’ve been enjoying watching the white stuff comin’ down though we don’t expect any accumulation. There is something about snow that makes me happy.

Di :: so, was someone else able to draw the blood? I hope so…I had to do monthly fasted bloodwork while on Accutane, and one time this summer, I went in and there were about 6 employees standing around, talking and laughing about a BBQ they went to that weekend—they were raving about chicken and all this other food while I sat in the waiting room within earshot of it all…waiting for what, I don’t know b/c there was no one else in the waiting room!! Deprive me of food and my morning tea and it AIN’T pretty! Then all this positive attitude crap goes RIGHT out the window…*lol*…Of course, I proceeded to the nearest diner afterward and ordered the Hungry Man Special……Glad Amanda and the babies are doing OK…don’t forget to PM me yours. Sorry you’ve had a kind of crummy day.

Laura :: oh THAT’s dirty Santa…OK, we do something like that with my extended fam on X-mas Eve…I’ve heard it called Yankee swap (and have since called it that myself) but didn’t really “get” the name. Dirty Santa seems more appropriate. It is fun but ours is unisex, so the shopping is a challenge…hope your hair turns out the way you want it.

Wendy :: Got ‘em all crossed with ya!…Nice job with the iTread yesterday and Core Syn today.

Angie :: sorry to hear about the new toll hikes and taxes…Sheesh! That’s steep! I hope there is some way for you to recoup that business…how did Cody’s team do tonight?

Diana: Sorry about your bad day and your job.:-( I wish you luck with the job search! I am sticking with the bands for the X. I can't really give much of an opinnion yet but in a couple of weeks I am sure I will know how I like it. I MAY need to splurge though and buy a set of the bands that Beach Body sells. My bands appear to be either too short or not stretchy enough to use for some of the moves. I am also afraid my heaviest band will end up not being heavy ENOUGH! I bought a cheap set from fwonline though so I'm not complaining. I didn't want to spend alot of money on "good" bands if I didn't like them, ya know? Glute DOMS is awesome. Are you cringing when you need to use the bathroom? }(

Cathy: We had a little white stuff fallin' here too but nothing really accumulated. Snow is so pretty. I love when it or even ice forms on the tree leaves and braches and a thin coating of snow on everything is just so serene looking. Too bad it creates so many problems, right? x(

Well, DH was going to be home at normal time today and we were going to run some errands including heading over to Target so Joey could pick out his (small) toy his daddy promised him if he was good at the doctor's. Well, that's not happening. He ended up staying late at work again and it looks like he won't be home until 7:30 again. Oh well. I was going to do some Christmas shopping while we were in Target but I'm not working tomorrow so maybe DS and I will hit the store before or after the gym instead.

BBL.

Crud, crud, CRUD!

I accidentally dozed off after work and *just* woke up (8 pm-ish). I took care of my cheetah personals tonight, so I can wake up in the morning and make up for some of what I missed.

Now I need to go write up some paperwork for a meeting tomorrow with the principal. Some long workdays this week!

Wendy :: IA about the snow/ice. It's beautiful as long as you can stay safely inside. The wintry weather is the only time I start to mind my 30-min. commute! Hope you can get in some x-mas shopping tomorrow.

Hello abbers

We almost didn't go to Cody's game tonight b/c he was being a royal PIA when he got home from school and even pi$$ed of DH....who is not easy to pi$$ off. I wasn't much in the mood to go watch him play when he was being snotty, but we ended up going anyways. He was a whole different kid when he's around his classmates. We kinda thought that might happen. They won and now their season is history. I loved basketball season!!
We went out to eat again afterwards since it was getting pretty late. I had grilled whitefish with rice....yummy!!

Diana - IA with Wendy...since when do they need a doc in house for a blood draw?? It seems like they could've still drawn your blood and you could've made a follow up appt. later or something. How frustrating.:-( C'mon over....I'll draw it for you.;-) I actually liked that part of my job....I was pretty darned good at finding veins.:7
Ahhhhhh Michigan....love the 4 seasons.....HATE the politicians!!!
Good for you for deciding to turn your life in a different direction. That can't be an easy decision. I applaud your gusto! You go and get em girl!!;-)

Laura - Hope you get that "special" color you are looking for. You'll have to write down the magic combo if you find it again.
Your Saturday party sounds like a hoot!
Are your classes still packed??

Wendy - Unfortunately there is NO way around the bridge. It connects the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula. It's a 5 mile long bridge that connectes Michigan. That's why everyone who does business in both areas is so upset. We spend about $15000 per year on bridge tolls now, so if they increase it, it will cost us another $10000 just in bridge fares.:-( Of coarse, we could just decide not to do business in the upper peninsula, but that's not a very business friendly option either. But, I've had my say....we'll just have to see what happens.
Do you get a good shoulder w/o with Core Syn too? It seems like after those walking planks, my shoulders are screaming at me.
Sorry your evening plans fell through. On to plan B eh?

Cathy - I love watching the snow fall too. It's soooo therapeudic somehow.
LOL - yup, even Ziggy is doom and gloom before A.M. caffeine!}( :7
So is your big party this weekend??

I suppose I'd better go load up the dishwasher. Since we got home late tonight, I still don't have those post X pics but I WILL get that done tomorrow!!

Good night

Angie
