Morning girls,

Just wanted to get us started. I think I'm feeling better and will probably workout tomorrow. Got up at 7:30 today so we're making progress and the girls are successfully at school! No tears from Ellie even!

Don't have much time for personals this morning - need to study! Four days into the semester and I've only read like 25 pages! EEK!

Klaudia, thanks so much for the link! I think I'll be adjusting my rotation a bit. Hope you had a great bday!

Amanda, welcome! This is (imho) the best check in you can find. These ladies are wonderful!!

I'll be back later to say hi to everyone. What happened to Lisa? Did she disappear while I was gone?

Oh, and ROTFLMBO at Step in Motion. Holy smokes. Good for a laugh but won't be purchasing.

Have a great Thursday all - keep it clean and ROCK your WOs!
 
Morning Angie~!
yay for back on schedule and no tears! Isabel is doing better too - phew!

Lisa, Say hello to us!!!

katie, YAY for thursday beingyour friday =)

kate, busy day for you, hope gina has a good appt.

angie, so glad you're feeling better!

amanda, i am currently unemployed, have 2 boys (16 years and 16 months...), married to an AF guy. i think you said you are in cali? we may be headed out that way in march so you'll have to tell me all about it!

had a nice relaxing dinner with my gals last night. we all have kids under 2 so it was an early night. JJ actually slept through until 5:30 this morning. thats too early but considering iusually nurse him *at least* 1x in the night, that was amazing. he woke 3x and cried out but i said night night, lay down, night night and he cried just a few mins before going back to sleep. yippee!!

b - oatmeal, apple, pecans
l - salad and tofu
d - chicken ench, i think, havent decided yet...
 
kate, breakfast sounds yum!

nina, bummer about your calf, but it sounds like they are not sure? how can they confirm or rule that out? i know how much you love running, sending good/healing vibes your way...
 
Morning ladies.

Angie I'm glad you are getting back to normal. I guess you will need to cut down on computer time.

Kate wow you do have a busy day. Let us know how the appt went.

Katie ^5s on the good eats.

Nina you can do all of that with a torn muscle? I hope the PT goes well.

Wendy good going with the night training. I remember those nights with my DD...she was something else.

Yday I sneezed and then got a bad sinus headache :( Today I feel a little sick, so I may skip my workout.

Welcome back Amanda.

Katie, yea for the extended weekend :) Great job with sticking to your plan!

Angie, glad you are feeling better. Saw your post about school – you can do it :)

Kate, sounds like you have been crazy busy lately!!

Robin, hope you aren’t getting the sinus thing. Try to get some rest :)

Wendy, that's wonderful that the sleep went better :)

Nina, I am glad it isn’t hurting as much. I hope they can give you some help with getting it completely better.

Hi to everyone!

My last day of the workweek too, don’t have to be back until Tue :) Back & triceps this evening. Legs are feeling it from 30/30! Eating has been about 85% this week, will work on getting that better!

Clintonya
 
I did an iCYCLE and abs in place of CCC today.

Robin, I hope you feel better

Hi to everyone ! Sorry I have to do a hit & run !..............

Becky
 
Hey all, need a study break. I just finished copying 4 pages (front and back) of notes from power point slides and my hand hurts! It's kind of fun though - just interesting. It's exciting to be interested in the material I'm learning. Such a contrast from my college days.

Kate, another busy day. You just never slow down! Enjoy 4DS. I haven't done the weight work from that in ages! Sorry Isabel is having a hard time getting back into school... is she taking lessons from Gina or what?!?

Katie, YAY for Friday! Hope you have a great long weekend. Ryan is going to have the 3rd Friday off every month for the first half of the year and I am so excited. How was MMA boxing?

Nina, sorry about the mixed reviews on the calf. Take it easy so you don't injure it more! I know how frustrating injuries are!

Wendy, glad JJ had a good nights' sleep and you had fun with your friends. There is a girls night out with other CAT wives tomorrow night but it's in Brussels (90 min away) and I am not ready to travel again. But I love those nights out!

Robin, sorry about your sinus headache. Get some rest and I hope you feel better. And yes, computer time will prob be cut down with school work!

Clintoya, thanks for the school encouragement. :) Way to go with your WOs! And I think 85% is pretty good. They generally say 80/20 is the way to go!

Becky, good morning. Nice WO! Have a great day!

I need to take a shower. My showers are so random when I'm not working out - it's weird. BBL!
 
NIna, I need to pull out my Insanities.....I don;t want to do a rotation but those Wos are just plain FUN!
Glad the calf news is positive! Hope it continues!

Wendy, I'm so happy for you about JJs sleeping! That is GREAT!
GOod for you on a fun night out too!

Amanda, I'm totally jealous of your RT!:D A few of us from this checkin went in '08 and had a blast!

Robin, Bummer on the sneeze headache! Weird.

Clintonya, HURRAY for a long weekend!
Way to rock the WOs! I'm thinking of 3030 for tmrw.

Nice job, Becky!

Angie, What's so funny is Gina's totally LOVING school right now. I had a long talk w/ her abt homeschooling - the pros and cons. SHe WANTS to stay in school. :confused::confused::confused::eek:
GLad the schooling is going well so far!
My showers are ALWAYS random!:p and too infrequent!:eek::p:eek:

-
G to school, kitties to vet, Julia nappng, let the housework begin! Oh, after a game or 2 of Mario w/ Isabel!;):D
 
i need a cyber hug - just got a major verbal beratement from my mother. she must not know i am not 12 anymore:(:( you know what, though? i feel 12 right now, and about 1 inch high:( on the plus side, pt guy thinks it is really minor, and i can start back running every other day. i am so relieved. and, my bad conversation with mom did not lead to overeating. i can do this day, even though i want to crawl under my covers and hide.

again, sorry for the personals. i will be better soon.
 
(((HUGS))) Nina! Way to not let it affect your day and great news from the PT! Hope your day gets better. Don't let your mom treat you that way, you're a strong, confident woman!
 
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Nina! I agree with Angie--sometimes if you don't let people treat you that way they stop. It sounds to me like your mom doesn't understand boundaries. That's one of the problems I have with my sister. I'm so sorry she said those things to you!

Great news from the PT, tho, can you focus on the positive?

More later.

anne
 
Yay for the news from the PT Nina !!!!
and BOO for treatment from Mom. :( I'm so sorry she upset you so much !!!!!!!! :(
((((((((((((( Nina ))))))))))))))))))) Hope you can move past it and not let it get you too down.
 
Nina, no worries, you have a lot going on! Sending big hugs :):):) It is funny how we can still be so affected by our moms – I know mine can end up making me feel like I am not doing anything right for her. Again, sending positive vibes and even though I don’t know you well, I can tell you do so much especially with your dh gone, so try to stay postive :)

Kate, that’s great about school going so much better!

Angie, great job with studying. It is better when it is something interesting!!

I may fall asleep at my desk, I am soooo tired!

Hi Anne & Becky!

Clintonya
 
((Nina))) so sorry and you know that it's hard at times. I guess in their eyes we are still 12 years old and that's what's frustrating. Hang in there and no stress eating plz. I'm glad you can run.

Clintonya can you sleep with you head up?;)

Anne what's up?

Kate how much did the vet charge you for cat spay/castration?

i'm feeling better but I still don't want to go to work.

Angie I use to love making power points presentations. I think that they are so cool. now back to the books young lady

Hey girls!

Busy morning here-Nevena had school and I had a blood drive kick off at school then pick up and a trip to the grocery store-I got a California roll for lunch:) Today's workout will be MMA Boxing. Danica's got dance tonight-I get to pick up at 8 then she's having a few friends over til 10-10:30 cause there's no school tomorrow:)

Anige, hope you're getting lots of homework done! I hear ya on random shower thing-it's a mom thing!

Kate, hope the kittens do well. Are you doing a 4DS rotation? Glad to hear Gina's enjoying school-makes it that much easier-maybe it's just a phase your girls go through?

Katie, what week are you on? I have some major DOMS today from yesterday's workout! Keep up the good eats!

Nina, hugs to you. Don't let your mom get to you-as hard as that sounds. You are a grown woman who is smart and strong. Go for a run-that always helps. I'm so glad it's nothing major with your calf.

Wendy, my mom friends and I get together for breakfast-no late nights at all!

Robin, hope you feel better! Can you call off work?

Clintonya, yay for the short workweek! The girls have tomorrow and Monday off-nice long weekend and another one next month! I'm doing back/triceps tomorrow:)

Amanda, welcome back! I'm a 37 year old sahm mom to 3 girls-10, 7, and 3:) We live in Michigan, about 2 hours from Kate and Anne. And I have to agree with Angie-this is the BEST group of women around!

Becky, hope you had a good workout!

Hi Anne and Colleen!

Lisa, where are you?
 
Nina, I'm so sorry abt your mom - to pit it plainly "that sucks" that she would say things to make you feel that way.
Glad your calf is doing well.

Angie, How's the studying going today?

Hi Becky!

Clintonya, Sending some caffeine your way!:D

Robin, I took them to the Humane Society - $50.
Hope work goes fast!!

Klaudia, I just decided to do 4DS this week. Might do it again next week, might do GS. NOt sure!
Busy day! EGADS on a house full of girls!!! Good luck!!

L-L-L-L-L-LISA!!!! Tell us you're alive!!!!:D:D We need a Pomai fix!
