Good morning everyone,

I woke up with a ridiculous sore throat this morning and could only whisper because it hurt so bad. I took some advil and it feels a lot better. I've got a 4:30 appointment with the doctor this afternoon so hopefully I'll figure something out. I'm beside myself with annoyance. UGH.

Anyway, just wanted to get our thread started and let you know I'm still alive. :)

The girls went swimming with their school today so I'm anxious to see how they did. Ellie cried for some reason when I dropped her off. I think she can always tell when something is wrong with me...

Ok, have a great day all!

To both Klaudia and Nina - I think you both look fabulous and I'm ready to print out your pictures as my motivation! :)

BBL
 
heres my copy/paste!

i couldve ate my way into oblivion last night! i was so thirsty and wanted to eat everything in sight...... but i dutifully did my wo, guzzled my h2o, and brushed my teeth,. i hate to take the time to brush (wierd, i know!) so that def keeps me from snacking!

j has 9mo pics today. how did that happen already???
going to a huge park for playing/picnic after. i think we'll walk so dds can get ic but none for me.

wo - chest/cardio

angie, hugs to you .... and ellie! oh do separation issues make me sad! hope the dr helps! im sure e will have fun swimming & be glad she went
 
Morning!! I burned my hand on the fish pan last night- grabbed the handle when it had been on the grill. Dumb. So my hand hurt pretty bad- slept downstairs so I could switch out ice packs, but once I got to sleep it didn't bug me anymore. It feels better today, hopefully healed in a few days. I only have cardio to do today so no weights- that is a nice coincidence.

Angie: Ack on the throat! Glad you are going to see the doctor today. Mags won't take swimming lessons unless I'm in the pool too- I must address this problem soon since she is 4 and needs to start doing this kind of thing without me. It's hard, though.

Kate: WTG on resisting that urge- I can't stand it when I feel like that. My kids won't eat fish either. :rolleyes:

CS was nice yesterday afternoon- I like doing it a few times a week. I need to buy the DVDs but am lost where to start.

I'll post the fish recipe later for anyone that wants it- the best part is the guac sauce. :eek:
 
Kate, sorry I missed your thread! I wasn't even looking. :eek: I can't believe J's 9 months old already. Do you have any pictures of her right after she was born or were you too frazzled? I still can't believe she was born on the bathroom floor! :)

Patti, ouch on the burn! I hate burning myself - it's the worst! I burnt my finger last week ironing and it hurt so bad. I hope you heal quickly. We don't really eat fish here either but we are trying to learn... the beef is SOOO bad.

I'm feeling tired and throat is sore but thankfully no fever so it's strange because I'm relatively functional and I'm trying not to over do it!

Where's Katie??
 
I'm here! Laptop issues :rolleyes:

Slept too late, did 4 miles of speed intervals this morning, LB and stretching tonight.

Eats were pretty good yesterday - except a horrible craving for chocolate and almonds at 9 pm which I succumbed to. Could have been worse.

GOOD NEWS - weight is very good this morning - back down to pre-beach weight!

Gotta run, will try for personals later!
 
patti, i am forever burning myself on pots & pans! glad youre healing up!
cs dvds....my fave is athetes intense stretch but i dont think its in production anymore.:( i love the new stuff her dd does. or total body vols 1 & 2 are great too.

angie, we have some pics of j's 1st hrs but not enough.:( the midwives grabbed our camera and took some when they got here. i love that she was born in the baathrm. every time i see the blanket i smile.

katie, wtg on the scale battle! great run this a.m.! do you feel like youre getting faster?
choc & almonds....yum!

-
ive gotten so much done this a.m.! its amaazing what you can accomplish w/ no kiddos around!
 
Kate: Thanks for the CS help. I need to cave and order a few soon. I didn't know Julia was born in the bathroom. That happened to one of J's cousins and they named the baby Gabriel, after the angel. I love that story. :)

Katie: That's great about pre vacation weight- you go!

I weighed this morning- my weight is on the right trend but not where I want it to be again. I will get there!

Cardio Fusion on tap for today- that should burn off some fat, right??
 
Morning!

My chest is raw from coughing-I can feel the phlegm in my throat, but can't cough it up-tmi, sorry. Funny, I don't cough during the night though. I'm going to make a doc appt for tomorrow morning. Do you think it's ok to do cardio? I have legs on tap today and wanted to tack on some since I didn't do any yesterday. One less kid today-mine-so it should be nice and quiet around here with the others. Going to a sidewalk sale/dinner tonight at a nearby shopping plaza-there's going to be moonwalks, a clown, live band, etc. Should be fun.

Angie, do you think you have strep? Maybe you need to have you tonsils removed? I bet Ellie has a blast! Thanks so much for the compliment-that's MY motivation!

Kate, way to beat the munchies! I wish I'd been better about pics of the girls-lots of Danica, but less and less with the other two:( Have fun at the park today! We're going to the Spalsh Zone at Metro Beach tomorrow-lots of sprinklers, etc.

Patti, sorry about the burn-ouch! My shins gort sunburned this weekend and it still hurts to shower! Not using the spray sunblock as a base again! I've yet to try Cardio Fusion!

Katie, no worries on the chocolate and almonds-way better than my m&ms! Way to go on the weight loss!
 
Angie I hope that it's nothing serious but it's good that you are going to the doctors.

Kate good going with the non snacking last night. I should have done that but I was a bit sad....no very sad last night. I was trying to avoid watching the MJ thing but caught the tail end of it...when his daughter spoke and then burst out crying.:( It reminded me of my DD when her father died.:( J is 9 months:eek:...time is flying

Patti I know that gotta hurt. I'm glad it wasn't very serious burn.

Katie good going with weight lose.

Klaudia no no no cardio. If you can't cough you can't breath. Shop instead.:)

My computer is acting wired. There is a new top of this forum but Cathe and Jai picture is down really low.:confused:
 
Hi Everyone!

I am feeling better this morning despite oversleeping. I did my kettlebell workout this morning and it was tough. I am home this morning but should head into work soon. Our handyman is finishing the painting from our bathroom leak. Unfortunately the color didn't match so he had to run out and get another one. I had hoped to be at work, but for I should leave soon.

Angie, I hope your throat feels better soon. I know you are tired of being sick.
Kate, ^5 on avoiding the munchies last night. Brushing my teeth always helps.
Katie, sorry about oversleeping and computer problems. Hope the rest of your day is better.
Patti, ^5 on being on trend but sorry it is not where you want it to be.
Klaudia, if you feel up to working out, then do it. But you should get to the doctor soon before your cough gets any worse.
Robin, I have tried the sandwich thins and I think they are just okay. I guess if I want bread, then I want to have a thick piece of bread.
 
Robin, that's so sad. :( How old were your kids when DH died? Ugh, I can imagine there are just things that stir it up sometimes. ((HUGS)) Your WO and eats look great!

Kl - I'd love to get my tonsils removed but I'm not too thrilled about having it done in France. They've given me trouble all my life! Of course it's somewhat difficult to talk to the doc here about it since we don't speak the same language! Hope your day is quiet and that you feel better soon. I'd avoid cardio!

Patti, I love CF! Have fun!

Katie, yay for low weight, sorry about laptop!

Kate, I love your J story! It's so classic!

Off to the doc...
 
Sorry I missed you Colleen, we posted at the same time. Glad you're feeling better and were able to wo this am! Have a great day!
 
patti, will give you the short story on j's birth later today!
cf will burn some buttah for sure!

kl, your throat sounds painful! rest up!
fun plans tonight!

robin, sorry you had a hard nighht. i cant imagine.....

c, glad youre on the mend! way to push thru the wo!

angie, good luck @ the dr!

-
we're off for our play day!
wish j lots of big smiles!!
 
Angie my DS was 7 and my DD was 9 that year.

Kate i can't wait to see the pics:D she always makes my day.

Colleen I think all handymen do things like that on purpose.LOL

Funny story. I put some frozen shrimp in a bowl of water in my kitchen sink to defrost well my cat walked into the kitchen. I went to the bathroom and went back into the kitchen. That old FAT CAT was trying to steal my shrimps:eek:. I picked him up and almost dislocated my shoulder throwing him across the room. I could'nt throw him very far.:rolleyes: Someone is going on a diet.
 
Robin: LOL at your fat cat. :D I'm so sorry about your DH- I didn't know you had gone through that. I avoided all of the MJ coverage because it was depressing- a lot of tragedy in his life.

Colleen: I would be in no hurry to get to work but that's just me! :p

Klaudia: Sometimes cardio actually makes my lungs feel more clear when I'm sick, but nothing puke in a bucket intense, OK?

I did Cardio Fusion and then the stability ball abs from B&G, which I don't think I've ever done. Huh. I really liked the oblique work leaning on the ball holding the band in both hands. I like CF but it is a tad too long. I need it right now though since I have 6 pounds I want off!

Gotta go get some lunch- this body needs fuel after that WO!
 
Robin, that story is hilarious! Our cat loves to stick his nose in the girls' leftover milk or yogurt cups:)

Colleen, I would be taking my sweet a** time getting to work too!

Angie, have you tried some honey? That always helps my throat-I might take some myself!

Patti, way to workout! I, like Anne, have a very hard time doing workouts that are longer than an hour. I think I'll take the kids for another walk and maybe throw some running intervals in there. I can take deep breaths and I don't hear/feel any wheezing, it's just phlegm-have I grossed you guys out enough yet?

b-kashi cinnamon harvest
s-honey wheat pretzels
l-spinach feta pretzel, sliced yellow pepper, applesauce

From the looks of my menu, I need to get some groceries-no produce left!
 
Hey chicas, squeaky clean day here. Munching on my sandwich!

Patti, 6 pounds is coming from where? You look fab! I don't have Cardio Fusion, wonder if I would like it...
Robin, your menu looks great! LOL@ your cat - I just had to shoo one of mine away that was all up in my sandwich-making!
Klaudia, I agree with Patti but take it easy if you decide to do it. Maybe a fast walk with short bursts of jogging?
Kate, ~~~smiles~~~ vibes to J! Enjoy your day!
Colleen, did you paint the bathroom a new color? Glad you had a good WO this morning.
Angie, what did the Dr. say? Sore throats can really be the worst!
Nina, is DH still home? What did you decide about the living room / wo equipment dilemma?

Hi Anne and Lisa!

I think I am going to walk to court this afternoon - one of my clients got arrested for his 3rd offense DUI while I was on vacation. I don't really have to be there, but it will get me out of the office. A little extra exercise and Vitamin D will do me good!
 
Super quiet around here today! I just finished MM Lower body premix plus the B&G bonus sit n' stands, leg presses, and glute squeezes! I'm a sweaty mess! Gonna take the kids on a short walk now:)
