Commit to Get Fit and Lean for Happy Hump Day, May 11th

Good Morning....

My day is super spread out today. Last night I stayed at work til 10 :confused: working on the my spring classes. Today I have one early session @ 9, then nothing until tonight! So I'll work the 9 hours in between...lol. My workout won't be until 9 p.m. tonight. :confused: Shoulders/Arms, and some sprints, maybe even some Abs! Depends on what the boys want to get into. ;)

Belinda- (((Hugs)))) I know allergies are big this time of year too...:( I really hope you feel better soon. I can only imagine how much this big move has stressed you out. 2 years ago I moved literally across the street, and I was stressed out...LOL!

Trish- I'm staying at the gym, but with the stipulation that I'll work something else into it. DC are "ok" for the moment..lol. So like I was telling Kristin last night....the activitiy I dis-enjoy the most is being on a stationary bike! I'd do anything for a Cathe video, but I won't do that! LOL So what do they do for you in pt? What are the cause of the spasms?

Melissa- I'd call the hospital again! They don't care about the fact that you're waiting! :rolleyes: Happy you are almost done!!! Enjoy the next six weeks. *sigh* @ the dump. It always shows up....like ttom. LOL. lmaoooo @ swamp a$$

Cookie- I am totally intrigued with this I Feel Bad About My Neck book, I will check that out! Of course you did ccc yesterday........lol

Deb- DO IT!!! Just for the experience!!! I'm hoping something comes along soon, so I can have more$$$ for my show. Hell, so I can have ANY $$$ for my show! :confused::(

Ok ladies...off and running...BBL
 
Good Morning:)

I have a busier morning then I normally like. The thing is...when I finally get a day off, that's when my friends want to have coffee:confused: And I still need to get groceries. I have training at 9:45 today, friend coming for a coffee after that, and after I drop DS off to preschool I hope to get a workout in. I wouldn't mind running outside again b/c I am playing cards with the girls tonight and that usually means lots of food!

Iris** You've been a busy gal. Enjoy your workout.

Cookie** Slo mo is a good workout but a long one. I don't even like taking the breaks in STS but I do it! LOL

Belinda** Ugh! Sounds like your having a lot of fun:confused: Hopefully all your things arrive, the way you seen them last. Hope you are feeling better today.

Trish** Sounds like they got the knots out for you! DH wanted me to massage is back last night...so I did...and then he fell asleep. Its a good thing I wasn't looking for a romantic evening!

O.k...i will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Good morning,

Thanks girls!

I slept in this morning. Still not feeling well, my sinus is killing me:rolleyes: Today my household goods shipment is arriving from Germany, with my DB's (10#, 15#) can't remember what I shipped anymore? LOL! Not sure, what workout I will do today?

Lori and Iris - enjoy your workouts today.

I will be back later!
 
Afternoon girls,

My back is sooooo sore from therapy yesterday, but I think all the kinks are out;) I did ME + iClimb10 this morning and had no issues. YAY! I'm headed back tomorrow, but I'll have to tell the therapist to take it easy on me.

Belinda - Glad you were able to sleep in this morning...sleep always helps. Hope the sinus issues go away soon. Have you found a doctor in the states that you can see in case you need to?

Cookie - Your reading list sounds awesome! Sign me up for the memory and the short essays:D My bookclub just finished The Help. We're headed up to the catskills for the weekend for a girl's weekend and review the book. Thankfully, my commute wasn't affected at all by the derailment. But, I just found out that my train line (or it's track) has maitenance scheduled for a month starting in June which will affect some of my commutes home:confused: Not sure if I will suck it up and take the buss (and walk a mile to my car) or just drive.

Deb - I don't know what I'd do without my elliptical. I actually have my eye on the latest version of the one I have. It has cable attachments so you can work in some strength training.

Iris - See, that's what I get for being MIA...didn't realize you were staying. I'm glad that you and DC were able to work things out. Still don't know the cause of the spasms but I'm guessing stress?? I got trigger point shots (shots of lidocaine directly into the knot), a very deep massage, ultrasound + heat. It works like a charm. I'm not feeling any of the discomfor I had before I went, but now, of course, I'm sore from the massage:eek:

Lori - You do have a busy day going on. I hope, at least, the time with your friend will be relaxing. LOL at DH falling asleep. My massages seem to have the opposite effect on my DH

Amelia - How are you and DH holding up?

Melissa - I think this is your last final today, right? I'm doing the happy dance for you!!

Kristin - How are your kiddies doing with the state tests? DD says they are going fine, but they make me a nervous wreck. I will be so glad when they are over.

Have a great afternoon everyone.
 
Hiya ladies!

I had my last final today which I think went pretty well. I am officially DONE!!!!! I am def done for the week too cuz I am exhausted from finishing everything up and studying hardcore. I crashed as soon as I got home this afternoon. Was supposed to do STS plyo today and abs but not sure if that will happen :eek: We'll see.

Belinda, I agree; if you're not comfortable with the way the movers are packing your stuff then move on! You don't want anything breaking, esp antiques. It will be over soon!! I hope you feel better :(

Cookie, going from working to being a student actually wasn't hard at all. I fell right back into the groove. Last night my physics prof thanked me for keeping my group "in order." He's like "It's nice to have a mature person in my class." I have no filters and I'm so used to joking with people at work that I just blurted out "By 'mature,' is that your nice way of calling me old?" and he got bright red LOL!!! Sometimes I forget there is a time and place where I need to censor myself :eek: Nice job on CCC yesterday!

Deb, I say try out for the spin WO! You can do it!

Iris, hm since you're doing a late WO tonight maybe you will inspire me to do one too. Ugh I call the hospital every 3 days and it's always "Oh the director isn't in yet." Really cuz I have called in the AM, PM, and in between...WHEN DOES THE WOMAN WORK!?!?!

Trish, nice WO today! How was "The Help?" That's on my list of things to read. I've heard so many good things about it. That and the one, something with a dragon tattoo??? I dunno, I am bad with names haha.
 
Evening all! Just ifnished up Kick Max and No Equip Abs. I am feeling all sweaty, lol. A little annoyed at work today. Found out that we have to give a NYS Field test. These poor kids just took the ELA, and now the Math this week, and now next week they have to take some stupid field test with ELA and math questions. Enough already!!!! Now I will not see my first period class yet again, and then next month more tests, the finals. It is all testing, testing, testing. . . Ridiculous.

Anyway. . . I don't have time to catch up on personals right now, but I will be back in the morning.

Night all,
Kristin
 
Evening!
Belinda, hope you're feeling better and that the shipment arrived with all intact. Isn't it so great to see your belongings again? When we moved upstate, we rented a house for a year and our stuff was held by the movers in storage. I was so excited to see things again after that time.
Lori, so now you're also a massage therapist? Mine seem to have the same effect as Trish's! Hope you're enjoying the card game.
Iris, glad you're able to have worked out an agreement with DC. A couple of the essays in the Neck book are particularly good. She writes like she is speaking directly to the reader.
Deb, so are you on your spin bike geting ready for your take?
Trish, isn't The Help coming out soon as a movie? I almost always have an eclectic reading pile going. The stress of testing is horrendous. I barely slept last night, and have to be to work by 7 am tomorrow to get ready for day 2 of the math tests.
Kristin, are you going to do another round of sts? What results have you seen from doing it a second time?
Melissa, congrats on making it thru the semester, and glad it wasn't a hard transition. Is there another hospital, rehab or nursing home you could try?
Helene, you must be having a great time.
Amelia, how's everything going? Thinking of you and your dh.
Did ME this morning. Think tomorrow will have to be a rest day, since I have to be in so early in the morning and dd has a track meet in the afternoon-evening. However, if I can't sleep again tonight I may just get up and try to get one in.
Cookie
 
Hi,

I took a spin class today, I'm thinking of doing the spin challenge just so I can spin with Cathe in person. I'm hoping it will be the same feeling after completing a race:) Work was so busy, for the men's co. I work for I was able to get a full wall for my men's sock display.

Belinda - Do you have a Dr. in the states? I hope you feel better.

Iris - I'm surprised you don't workout when it gets slow at the gym. Enjoy your workout tonight. Are you following the same w/o plan for this show?

Lori - I can't picture sitting still and drinking coffee in the middle of the day, because your always running:)

Trish - You jumped right back into your workouts, happy your back is feeling better:) I used to take the bus to the city and it took much longer.

Melissa - Congratulations!!!! Are you celebrating? One semester down!

Kristin - I always remember the testing earlier in the Spring but I guess it could be different in NJ. Way too many tests and I'm sure wasted $$$ too!

Cookie - Are you involved in the testing too? Sorry your losing sleep over it. Great job getting a workout in.

Amelia - I hope everything is ok and your just busy at work.

Helene - Did you decide to stay longer:)

Goodnight:)
