Hey girls,

Yesterday was a nice family day. Went to the grocery store and basically rested the rest of the day. Annabel had a birthday party in the afternoon and then had a long, deep theological talk with Ryan (his favorite kind). I also had a rough conversation with my mom (whom I dearly love) because she's just been so busy lately that she never calls or emails or anything and my feelings were just hurt. We worked it out but it wasn't super easy. We had some rough times during my teen years and I think she's still hurt but it's complicated...

Anyway, we're going to church this morning and then this afternoon I have some studying to do. I'm anxious to get a lot of studying done this week while the girls are in school. I'm feeling kind of behind.

Kate, sorry J was sick. I hope she's better today and you have a nice fam day.

Klaudia, the workout sounds awesome! I miss gym classes. So motivating and fun!

Nina, awesome job with 55 miles this week! You're doing great.

Anne, hope you're having a fab time in FL! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Colleen, bummer about YOUR birthday dinner. Hope it was still fun. LOL about the tablecloth and flowers!

Katie, fun trip to the museum with Collin and I'm SO glad you're feeling better. Don't think it's my cycle (although AF is on the way!) - just good old fashioned weight gain. :eek:

Robin, sorry about your shoulder but WTG on the WO!

Wendy, that's nice that your dh will eat whatever you make. Mine is on board with eating well but he's pretty picky about food. Your swap night sounds fun!

So, I didn't get my stretch in y'day, just a run so hopefully I will get it done today but I'm not super stressed about it.

Hi to Lisa, DrBecky, Becky!

Have a great day everyone!
 
fly by this am - i had to get up super early to fit in my long run beofre dh left for work at 7. 15 miles done. hoping to do some yoga or maybe disc 4 later, but i will see how the day goes. biab for personals
 
Morning

Angie that's good that you talked it out with your mom. She is still mad about what you did as a teen? When you live far away from family it's important to keep in touch.

Katie I hope you make it to church today. Colin got a girl friend:D
My ds likes a girl because he spends a lot of time lately in front of the mirror doing his hair.

Kate enjoy your church service. I'm going to the 9 am service (my church has 3 Sunday services). did you get to the Bar last night;)

Klaudia I got winded just reading your workout. Did you use the 50# vest? That a great circuit workout!!!! I'm proud of you.

Nina my shoulder starts hurting because of my job. I have to lift over head and I forget to use the other arm. By the time I get home it's hurting.

Colleen how was dinner?

Today after church and nap-max i'm going to try and get 4ds chest and back done. My roast is already in the crock pot. It's going up to 61 degrees so I may take the kids to the park or just go in the back yard and read my book.

Hi Girls !!! :)

I missed everyone yesterday. I was so busy, just never did post !
We took my older daughter and her family to Costco and Sams so they could use our card. Natalie was looking for a new laptop and she found one and got it , so they were very happy! :) Also loaded up on groceries and things they needed.
Then DH & I went to Lowe's and got the stuff to finish the living room. We painted all the rest of the trim (that goes around doors and windows) and the baseboards . We'd had to put a hold on it, since it was so cold and we were painting out in the garage . So we FINISHED painting yesterday!
Today DH will cut it all and we'll put it up. I want to go out and look for something new for the window, not sure if I'm doing some sort of blinds or curtains yet, will see what I find.
I am so happy to be finishing up !
I took a rest day since I was sore from double workouts last week, so I have ONE cardio still to do. Might do it today, we'll see if I have time.

Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend !
How many days a week does everyone workout ? I don't recall seeing a lot of rest days........lol

Have a good one,
Becky
 
Morning!

We didn't end up going to Dave and Buster's-the girls were misbehaving big time but at least I did get the house all clean:) Today I need to get to the grocery store-we have 3-7" of snow coming tomorrow. And I need to do disc 14-Back/Biceps. Other than that, maybe the girls and I will rent a movie since Darrin just left to go up north again. I can't wait for this cottage remodel to be done! He's the only one doing the work-with help form our neighbor who has a place up there too-his 2 bils are doing nothing, but will reap the benefits come this summer. Makes me mad.

Wendy, how'd the swap go? More important-how was the food?;)

Katie, nice workout! Hope you got to church!

Kate, that would be so fun!! The rec center is downtown, right on Lake St. Clair and there's a park-and a bakery:) You could bring Mike and the girls and they could play while we work!

Angie, hugs to you. I've been dealing with some mom issues myself and it's no fun. The class is very motivating-the instructor is very nice but tough and it's got a nice mix of people-some as young as 11-12! Hope you can study lots today!

Hi Nina!

Robin, I didn't use the vest yesterday-too sore from AS and tri-sets but I did last week and did leg presses:) LOL about Cam doing his hair-Danica still goes to school in a ponytail/headband, thank goodness! I'm not ready for the hair/makeup bit. There are girls in her class who wear makeup!:eek: Go to the park!:)

Becky, I need to get to Costco but I spend so much when I do! Glad the house is coming along. Our bathroom is in the midst of a retile but the cottage is taking precedence right now. I usually end up taking two rest days-not by choice though. It just seems time gets away from me on certain days.
 
back again. clean breakfast. we got some fresh sal\sa from a local restaurant and ut was sooooo good. i had an egg white om;et for dinner and breakfast!

becky, wtg with all thatwork! enjoy your cardio today.

robin, we are off to the park soon. it is so nice and springlike outside.

klaudia, a movie rental sounds fun. are you super sore?? good luck grocery maxing it. are you taking all the kids?

kate, enjoy your family day.

angie, glad you resolved stuff with your mom. it is so hard to be far away. also hard to be close....

off to the park!
 
good morning!

i had a blast last night! came home with a knockoff LV bag and prada sunglasses, a cute zara babydoll top, headband, and a cupcake stand, which ive wanted for awhile! oh and curly girl the handbook. made the brownies and Im all set to go with the sauce when I see someone has eaten the ice cream in my freezer =( so I get there and announce the sundaes I promised will actually just be brownies and sauce but still good... 15 mins later her dh walks in with ice cream from store!! he is a chef and I guess he could see/understand my dissappointment LOL.

nina, nice run! i love to make fresh salsa in the summertime, delish and so healthy!
becky, costco is always fun =)
klaudia, sorry abt the kiddos misbehaving. bummer you've got more snow coming! i had picked at stuff at home (including the edge of the brownie pan, unfortunately) so i didnt eat toomuch... some soup, some steamed chinese dumplings. a bunch of white wine...
robin, enjoy church! a sunday roast sounds good.
angie, being further away prob amplifies whatever your normal issues are with your mom. (normal! we all have them! no fun tho.)

hoping for another nice long walk today. i did 3 miles yesterday and today should be just as warm since its already 42. first JJ needs a nap and i need to figure out dinner. bbiab!
 
Hi Everyone!

I am procrastinating doing the work stuff I need to do. I want to run out and go shopping but I am going to stay in until I get some of my work done. Dinner last night was okay. The food would have been better at the restaurant I wanted to go to. DH and I may go there next weekend. I did Step Moves this morning for my workout.

Angie, sorry about the issues with your mom. Are the girls anxious to go back to school tomorrow?
Becky, I usually workout 6 days a week unless I am tired or sick.
Klaudia, your workout yesterday sounds awesome. Sorry DH is stuck fixing up the cottage himself.
Nina, I love fresh salsa. Hope you enjoy the park.
Robin, I am jealous that you can go outside and read a book. We are supposed to get in the 50s but there is still too much snow to sit outside.
Kate, hope you had a great lunch!
Katie, that's cute that Collin has girlfriends.
 
....rocking a sad teething babe....:(
church was nice, had fun w/ company.

angie, sorry for the mom woes....not easy. dh's help to give an unobjective viewpoint
hope u get your run

Hi everyone -

Colleen, if we come back up that way I will let you know! Last year we visited DC twice during the summer, but I am not sure if we will have the $ this year.

Kate, is Julia feeling better? We did have a good time. It’s funny how all of the competitions are so different depending on the area – like Northern VA versus North Carolina.

Angie, I am glad you & your mom worked it out some, but I know it is still hard. Wonder why mother and daughter relationships are sometimes so difficult – I struggle w/mine too sometimes.

Wendy, shopping sounds fun! I am hoping I can get in some when we are in Winston-Salem.

Becky, you had a great good shopping day too :)

Robin, sorry your job aggravates your shoulder pain:( The roast sounds good!

Nina, hope you and the boys had fun at the park!

Klaudia, that boxing class sounds fun, but hard!

The competition went good. The ride up and down was good – this is the 1st one that it wasn’t snowing on the way! Jasmin’s group got 2 silvers and a gold. Her group also got a judge’s award for best group that worked together well throughout all dances. I didn’t get in a workout today because I am just feeling so sore, not sure what that is about, but hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good evening!

Clintonya
 
Clintonya, Glad it went well! Give 'em a round of ^5s from us!
Julia was doing a little better by bedtime, thanks for asking!

I'm starting to get a clogged milk duct again! nnnnnnoooooo!!!!!!!
No WO tonight - gonna take some extra time with DH!;)
