RE: Newbie Here

Susan...welcome home! We missed you and loved the pics of you, Jess and the girls. I can only imagine the emotions you are going thru after seeing your Mom. I am glad you got to make the trip......good job on only pigging out once!

Kristi...glad to see you back again. I am so sorry about your grandmothers passing and I hope your little one is better. starting at square one is a good idea with what you have been thru.....good luck in your new years goals and I do hope your training for the half goes smoothly...

Wendy...sorry you are lacking some motivation, but it'll come back. Honestly shopping does work for me sometimes...

Christine...thanks! Today was much better and S&H was fun! The GS's have kept me strong so I was able to increase my weight with the chest work! Good job with the B&G premix...I still think the pizza press name is funny for that exercise...

My new DVD player is programmable so I programmed S&H Chest and Back so I would alternate the exercises starting with bench presses and then dumbell rows, and continue to alternate chest & back exercises. It was a great workout that way. I only ran 4 miles as I still feel a bit drained...and my DH is home sick.... x(

RE: Newbie Here

Kristi - Welcome Back. I took off a while, too, and just joined back up again about a month ago. You'll get to know everyone again in no time.

Wendy - Go for a nice walk - fresh air does wonders for me.

I just went tanning for my trip :7 Yeah!

After work I will do SJP. I'll be back later.

Marcia.

RE: Newbie Here

Well, since Christine so nicely reminded me that I have to report back to you ladies with my work out...or lack thereof...it got me going and I managed to eek out the PUB down only premix. I upped what weights I could since it is shorter so I really felt the burn! When Cathe did those blasted SB abs I did my own. I wasn't in the mood for that ab work today! I actually wanted to add on the arm drills from CTX kickbox but alas, there is no time left! I must get a move on now!

Thank you Christine for lighting the fire under my butt!:+

BTW, I am getting a 40# DB set for Christmas from my SIL so I will FINALLY be able to up my weights for back work (once we finally exchange gifts!)!!! Now all I have to do is go buy the bar and I will have a BB set too! WOOH!}(

G'afternoon Cheetahs! Not feelin' so social this afternoon, darn headache came back. I woke up feeling so bloated & yucky from my day of bad eating y'day. Back on track today though! ;-) I made it though BM 2 Cardio Blast this morning, day 2 of Debbie's Muscle building/ staying lean rotation down. Then I got to work in the girls' room reorganizing & cleaning. I even managed to move their FULL sized bunk beds by myself! Thank you Cathe! It looks soooo much better in there & am still working on sorting toys & stuff around here!! It's never ending, I tell ya!

Susan ~ I see you're back!! Yeah!! I could have talked to you for hours too, I'm glad I didn't bore you to death! ;-) I'm so sorry about your Mom, I'm sure that was so hard to say goodbye. Let me know if you need anything!

Have a great night. I'm off to play some games w/ my dd's & relax tonight!

Ughhh. Cheetah down here. I don’t know what’s come over me, but that headache I woke up with never went away, and I still feel like crud. Joints aching, runny nose, shivers – all that fun stuff. So here we go again! I’ve flirted with these wicked little bugs several times in recent months, but I’m not sure I will be able to fight this one off. Which *really* annoys the heck outta me as I was truly looking forward to running this afternoon. Instead, I slept for two hours. Well, I’m telling myself it’s not so catastrophic to switch up my rest days…at least my eating’s been clean and it wasn’t a struggle today.

Anywho, that’s my tale of woe…let me move on to personals…

Sunny :: hope you enjoyed MM. That’s great that your GM is working with you to build a solid client base…From my own personal experience, I know how terrifying it can be to leave something secure in order to pursue your dream. Best of luck!! You should be finding out soon about the Asst. Director position, right? Sorry you missed out on zzzz’s last night – HATE when that happens!

Marcia :: sounds like you’re all set to go!

Wendy :: See, you’re not off the wagon at all! Great job squeezing in PUB. I doubt you’ll be in this funk for long! Hang in there! Woohoo on the forthcoming DB & BB set.

Laura :: sorry to hear you were in the dumps yesterday…I agree that it is hard to come back to work after a break (despite the fact that I do love my job as I posted elsewhere on the forums). How is day two of the cleanse going?

Judy :: yeah, I don’t mind the DOMS at all…tells me I worked hard yesterday.

Shelly :: Sorry about the scare you had with DH!!…I hope he’s doing OK now. Please keep us posted!

Christine :: glad you enjoyed a tough workout today!

Carole :: sorry to hear you were also feeling down yesterday! I think the pizza press is a funny name, too…anything that makes me think of food while working out is a killer! I *love* pizza!! Hope your energy level bounces back…sounds like your DH and I are in the same boat, starting with the sinus headache. Hope you can ward it off! The new DVD player set-up sounds AWESOME! I just have a single DVD player, so I can’t be bothered with switching between DVDs…mine was giving me trouble yesterday freezing up during the triceps dips in BC.

Hi Kathy G! I think I first joined this check-in right around the time you were injured, so I’m not sure we’ve “met” before, but I’m glad that you are recovering from your injury and are able to work running back into your routine. Welcome back!

Susan :: we missed you, too! Glad you are back and that you had the opportunity to spend time with your mom. Thanks for the update. (((((HUGS))))) to you…it has to be tough. Great job on eating well through the holidays!

Hi Kristi! I think I must’ve come on board around the time you left. Glad you’re back to training despite some recent setbacks. Sorry to hear about your grandmother & the trials you’ve been through with a sick child. I’m aiming to lose 25 lbs. and a few others here are also working on weight loss, so we’ll have one another for motivation and support!

Jess :: sorry about the headache…it doesn’t seem to have slowed you down much! Enjoy a relaxing night.

My plan is to down some chicken noodle soup and rest up tonight. Tomorrow I hope to be back in the game!

-Cathy

Carole – I so want to thank you! Vegan Planet is such a great cook book. I made West Coast Chili for the family. DD17’s meat loving boyfriend was here and I made them hotdogs with it – he preferred the chili to the hot dog. It was delicious! Absolutely wonderful, so thank you so much for recommending that book. And it was so healthy – red/yellow peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings, kidney beans and avocado and black olives – YUM!! Hope your DH and you are feeling better! I think when you’re fit and healthy, illness sometimes show up as vague feelings of unhappiness.

Wendy – happy to light the fire. Hope you’re feeling better! You’re such a wonderful Cheetah – I hate to see you feeling out-of-sorts.

Jess – you Super Woman you! Moving bunk beds and whatnot around!! I’m impressed!

Sunny – Bionic Woman? Oh I wish. Then maybe I would not hurt head-to-toe some mornings! Thanks for the chuckle!

Cathy – {{{HUGS}}} Hope you’re feeling better soon! Hope the chicken noodle soup helped!
