Yes it is truly wonderful, ladies! For a few reasons....

#1: I got on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised that I've FINALLY lost all of the bad eating weight gain. I feel like me again. PHEW!:D

#2: DH just got switched to a different job site at work. He starts today. The money is much better and there will be OVERTIME comin' in soon on top of it! We are looking forward to paying off some nagging bills with the extra cash. YEAY!:)

Well, my plan for this morning is to get in Itread 21 Intervals before work this morning. I really need to make this happen if I want to get in 3 runs this week.

So far I am not feelin' the DOMS in my UB from PP y'day BUT I STILL feel it in my butt and thighs from B&G the other day! B&G is KICKIN'!!!! I should make my BF do it!!!}( Am I EVIL or what!?!? :7

I am training at my BF's house tonight. Her and her friend. I have made the routine a bit more difficult. BF tried it already on Monday night so now it's her friend's turn. }(

K, I'm gonna finish off this post and come back with a new post for personals that I need to catch up on.

See ya in a minute!;)
 
Cathy: Yes, I WOULD believe that you fell asleep at 7:30 the other night!:p LOL You work hard girl. No shame in conkin' out early if you need to. :) I can't imagine having to explain 9/11 to a child. YIKES! I feel for you.

Laura: OMG, waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back to sleep is THE WORST!!! I had problems with that consistently for MONTHS and it was AWFUL! It happens only on occassion now but it's still the worst. ACK. Sorry that happened to you. Please be careful teaching your class!!!! Yes, I am working out for you girl. Don't you worry. ;)

Diana: You got some great bargains. Good for you. I just LOVE a good sale. I just ordered a couple pairs of jeans from Old Navy that were on sale for a good price. I hope they fit!}(

Angie: I passed my CPR class. You were right. Very simple. Nothin' to sweat over. I should have my cert card in about 2 weeks. In the mean time I FINALLY have some copies of my resume here so I am going to start creating cover letters so I can get 'em out in the mail and start lookin' for that job!}(
 
Morning Ladies ..

FINALLY .. I got some major sleep last night .. think I only got up once . . and only rolled over once .. LOL! I got in bed and passed on out of here!:) I feel much better today!!:)

Class was good .. I did fast low step cardio .. no impact and I did fine .. taught about a 40 min. class and everyone was drenched and pleased w/it .. even myself .. so I am feeling better about that too.

tonight going to teach a 30 min. upper body shaping class! Think that will be doable!:)

Wendy .. YAYAYAYAYAYAAYA on the weight loss and the DH job switch and pay raise .. more $$$$$ that is always nice .. sounds like the PT sessions are going well too .. so more good news .. and CPR cert. way to go .. knew you had nothing to worry about!

Ok .. getting the hair done today .. going to get some of the bleach/beach blonde out .. thinking LOW lites .. and leaving some of the fried blonde .. but going to let the pro tell me what is best ..I just know I am sick of being called "Blondie" .. since the Keys trip my hair lightened about 2 or 3 shades .. LOL!

Oh .. my kidney tests - the specialist says my uric acid was extremely low and he put me on a supplement to raise it .. says that is a major factor in the formation of kidney stones .. I am just not to pleased about being on a supplement long term .. even though he says there are no side affects .. I just don't know .. I am going to try it for a while and see how it goes .. I go back in 2 months for MORE tests .. but at least maybe we are on the right track!:)

OK .. Diana, Cathy, Angie .. I will BBL to see what you ladies are up to .. until then ... keep working out for me (I am beginning to see the ill affects of NO exercise).. and have a great day!!!:7
 
Where is everyone???

... I just got my hair done .. and want to tell someone ... :eek: .. DH is going to have a heart attack!!

I got it cut AND colored. Lots of low lites .. it is a DARK blonde now .. and she cut it in a med/short bob .. it is longer in front above my shoulder and shorter in the back .. right at my neck!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

OK .. may need re-enforcements when DH sees it .. LOL ..

I love it .. (right now) .. it will always look different once I style it .. so ??? ... ask me tommorrow if I like it .. LOL ..

One of my friends here almost fell out of her chair when she saw it .. :D

I will try to snap a picture and post it .. :7
 
Hi ladies,

Well the rotation called for a 45 min run today, but since I don't get a lunch anymore I did lowmax this morning. I weighed in and was down 1 pd. Yeah.

I just felt sick reading about your 9/11 experience Wendy. It happened before I went to work and I saw it on the morning news. It was surreal. It seemed more like a movie than something that was actually happening at that time. I hated seeing the towers fall, the news seemed showed it over and over. it's still hard for me to believe that such tragedy could happen to us.

Wendy-great job passing the cpr cert. DH has a new job and more money-how awesome is that!!! You are getting good experience training your friends and the resume is simply the next step. You will be great!

Laura-Can't wait to see the new 'do pics, sounds beautiful. It sounds like your tb is healing a little and you have found a way to inflict torture on your class}(

Hi to Angie, Cathy and Nancy.

BBL

Hi girls!

Laura: I can't wait to see the new do! I love the style you are talking about but never got it done myself. When I decided to get my hair cut short 4-5 years ago I didn't stop at the chin...went REEEEAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY short! LOL

Diana: Why don't you get a lunch at work anymore?? That doesn't seem right.

Well, I managed to get my run in before work this morning and I'm so happy that I did. It was such a load off my mind to know that I didn't have to come home and work out after lunch today.

I need to get the house picked up now and get ready to head out. I have to drop Joey off at my mom's so I can go train tonight since DH has started workin' O/T as of today already. This job of his is going to be a blessing and a curse...It's going to make training for my half and training my friends alot more difficult then it had been. OY!x(

Okay, I'd better get my butt in gear...I'll be back later tonight or in the morning.

Have a great one!
 
Hi girls!

Ang :: sorry about the HW pileup…I’m a sort of “anti-homework” teacher…I just have a regular 4G Nano, which I love…I’ve not seen the Video Nanos, but when I upgrade, I imagine that is what I would go for. Although the Video iPods have greater storage space, they are also bulkier and less workout-friendly. But ya know, it all changes so fast…I am going to wait and see what’s going on with Cathe’s new techno projects.

Wendy :: congrats on dropping the extra lbs. and on DH’s new job!!!…Great job getting your workout in early.

Laura :: glad you’re feeling a little better today…So, wow! You went with something way different for your hair…What makes you think DH won’t like it? Is it like a Posh Spice ‘do? Take a pic! Show us, girl! I’ll bet it looks great…I hear you about not wanting to take meds long-term…I feel the same way…I even hold out and avoid taking aspirin or Aleve…Wonder if there is a natural way to raise the level of the acid…good luck! Kidney stones would NOT be fun.

Diana :: congrats on being down a pound!!…I feel the same about 9/11. Those are some images that will be burned into my mind forever. The worst – the absolute worst, to me – was the people jumping.

Hi Nancy! Hope your new school year is off to a good start. Our nurse's office is bombarded with forms right now.

Hey ..

it just dawned on me I don't have a recent picture of my hair actually FIXED .. as my before the new do ..all of my pics it is up and either sweaty or wet .. LOL .. so I added one of my workgroup taken last week to my picture trail .. under my original album ... (warning I do NOT photgraph well)

I will try to get a picture of the NEW do FIXED .. and get it loaded as well .. .:7
 
Cathy .. believe me that caption ESPECIALLY fits today .. it has been one H### of a wild day here at the asylum!! Hey .. speaking of .. think it was you that first came up w/the "asylum" .. OOOOOOHHH how it fits!!! LOL:+
 
My job resembles an asylum right now, too. :p

I thought I would do PLB & a run, but I only banged out PLB. Did not have the gas for a run. You'd think I was a furniture mover or something the way I've been feeling zapped at the end of the day! *lol* Even though I worked my legs good tonight, I'm a little annoyed with myself for not quite being up to the full load. But I think there's so much else going on in my head these days, I don't have room for guilt! :D

AND I have off tomorrow, so I look forward to bringin' it hard!!

Have a great night!

Wendy-I have to cover the phones now from 11-3pm. What started out as helping while someone was on medical leave has turned into a daily requirement. I also have to be available for meetings and my other duties in the afternoon. My boss is aware that I do not like this schedule. I also asked if we could take turns so I wouldn't be stuck with this schedule everyday and they said NO.

Laura-I love the "asylum group" photo. Hopefully DH will like the new 'do as much as you!

Cathy-No worries, I'm sure you will "bring it" tomorrow. DS (6th grade) was up until after 10pm doing homework. They changed his school hours from 7:30-2:45 to 8:30 to 3:45. He gets home from school at 4:30 and then has football practice from 5:30-7:45. Then he showers and eats dinner and works on his homework. I really hate that he gets out of shool so late now.

Hi to Angie and Nancy-what are you ladies up to today?

Diana
 
Diana, that really stinks about your job situation. I can't understand why s/he would shoot down the idea of rotating these duties. Can't blame you for being fed up with that place!!...Thanks! I appreciate the support & motivation from you all here! :)...Poor Jerod. 10 pm??? The later schedule is probably better for the kids in one way since the teenage brain (he's almost there) is wired to stay up and wake up later. I have a new schedule this year and now teach 1st period classes, where I'm thinking a cattle prod might be necessary to jolt these kids awake. I am seriously going to borrow the band teacher's cymbals for Friday morning. :) Anywho, I really believe most teachers overload kids with HW. HW should be necessary and beneficial, not busywork. I think many teachers feel they're holding the kids to high standards by making them work that hard, but I don't think it's fair to the child or to the family. If my boss sent me home with 1, 2, or 3 hours of MANDATORY work every night, I'd probably come to despise my job. When kids go home after school, I think it's their time to relax, play sports, be with family or friends, and come back ready to learn the next day. I feel the same about weekends and holidays. OK, now I'm rambling...sorry. :)

Good evening ladies

Late night tonight due to a soccer game. Only 4 more left!:) Cam's coach is a jerk. So far they have not lost a game.....in fact most games are rather boring b/c the team is so good. NOT Cam, mind you, but the team. Well, they were down by a goal tonight, which I don't think has happened before, and the coach starts yelling and being a jerk to the ref.:eek: I could not believe it! Not to mention the fact that we sponsored the team, (not knowing who the coach of the team would be) so our names are on their shirts. Grrrrrr. Just what I want....to be associated with that jerk! It will not be happening again. Uh, sorry, Rant over - *lol* Except that I would think that parents/coaches could/should be a bit more mature than that. But I guess that's too much to ask.x(

Wendy - Awesome news about dropping those vacation pounds. I'm not quite there yet, but soon....
I hope DH gets a predictable schedule. The OT can definietly get old after a while.....DH has worked 12-14 hour days since I met him. It takes a lot of getting used to, but now I don't know what I'd do if he was home early all the time. I use that time as my w/o time and my time with the boys. The extra cash is nice though.;-)
Has BF done Cathe before? Inflicting B&G on her would be wicked.}(
Great job with the CPR, now I just hope you don't have to use it.

Laura - Glad you're able to get some w/o in, even though I know it's much less than you would prefer. Take it easy and you'll get there.
I was wondering about those kidney tests. I hear you also about not wanting to take something on a regular basis. I made DH an appt. a few years back for the good ole vasectomy b/c I was getting sick of taking the BCP's. I like the fact that I don't have to take them anymore. Is there any surgery you can get DH to get so that you don't have to take supplements???:eek: :7 *lol*

Diana - Yah about the loss!;-)
The late school day sounds like a real pain in the butt!;( I'll bet you're not the only parent not liking the new schedule. Why'd they change it?
You're boss sounds like a jerk. No wonder you're not liking your job. It doesn't sound like things are getting any better there.:-( So when does the medical leave person come back? Will you be able to go back to your regular schedule then?

Cathe - I agree with your HW thoughts. Cam has been bringing home busy work. The kid is hyper and needs his outdoortime when he gets home. I try to get him to dive into it as soon as he gets home and gets a snack....but it's not easy. We're still working at this new schedule.
I'm gonna wait (if I can) for more Cathe news before I buy the ipod. I really don't want to get it before X-mas because I'm a pain to buy for and it would be a great gift idea.
What do you mean you ONLY did PLB??:eek: Give yourself a break...that's a pretty darn good workout if you ask me. Just think of all those people who never even bother to workout after work, let alone a Cathe workout.

Hi Nancy - hope you are doing well.:)

So get this....Cody brought home another fundraiser for the football team. Guess what they want us to go out and sell now???? Krispy Kreme dounuts. Are you kidding me???:eek: There's no way I'm selling those! I've never had a KK and I'm not about to start now, nor am I gonna push them on anyone else. Geez - why can't they sell bushels of oranges and grapefruits like they did when I was a kid?

Oh, I did S&A and ARX today....tomorrow is YogaX}( I need to shop for a Baptiste w/o tomorrow so I have another yoga w/o that I can sub.

Time for bed.....chat with you all tomorrow
