Morning!
Thought if I checked early the bandwidth with the satellite might be good, and it is.
Belinda, glad to hear your loved dh and Browler are doing okay. Did I tell you my dh mentioned getting a German shepherd the other day for his birthday? This is from a man who when we met didn't think a person needed anything more than a fish for a pet - he's sure come a long way.
Kristin, what's probably most frustrating is the student denying he copied it. What have your interactions with the mother been like prior to this? I used to wish I could wear earplugs at times when my kids where younger, sad confession to make.
Amelia, what book did you get? I agree, Jillian doesn't give clear directions but I like how I felt when I was done. Do you have others by her? I think Cathe's production quality has spoiled me.
Helene, well, when we first moved here, I worked much closer to home. DH likes it cause it looks similar to where he's from in Germany, and now we have some very good friends in the area. It's just a lot of time spent on my rear driving.
Deb, glad to hear things are going better with dh. How are those arms of steel feeling today? That's frightening about the mall, and don't you hate wasting time? How many wo were you trying to do yesterday? Is your middle name Lori? JK
Melissa, how was the chem test? How's the transition from working full time to being a ft student going?
Trish, are your buried under all the snow? Hope you reemerge soon and that all is well.
Heidi, I heard you're having great weather done there, and we hope you at least have a lot of clouds.
Iris, enjoy your camp.
Lori, is your dd still doing volleyball? How's she doing? Do you train people on the weekends also?
Been looking forward to today all week: a very good friend's oldest daughter is getting married! The girls have to do an open house at their school, and one then has SAT practice, so it's a full day but wonderful. Now the problem is going to be what to wear since it is snowing again. I sure do not feel like wearing boots or shoes to a fancy wedding and celebration! And it is such a pain to change in and out of them at such places. Then there's a we're-done-with-all-planning-and-rigamorole celebration, so I better squeeze in a wo this morning. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning

Didn't get to check in yesterday...again I miss it when I don't have my relaxing time with my coffee!

My day started off with training yesterday,then my friend canceled for the 3rd time this week. I was soooo mad! She is one of those people that when something different is thrown into her week, she can't get sorted out. Mind you...over half of it is lies or exaggeration. She keeps talking about how sick her gma is and meanwhile I train her aunt as well and her aunt as never mentioned that her mother is knocking on deaths door...so that is exaggeration #1. Anyway....I just thought it was very rude and disrespectful of my time. She sent me a text and I didn't even reply...She probably got the hint from that. She is suppose to workout tomorrow and I am not contacting her. The rest of my day when filled up with training and working out myself. I never really got anything else done.

Today I have 3 training sessions this morning and then that's it for today. We are having DH gma's b-day gathering here tonight.

Yesterday's workout was 5 miles on the TM and MM. Im not sore yet...but it was a good workout. Today I will probably do another run and abs.

I downloaded all of the data from my garmin yesterday and since I bought the watch in Oct of 2009, I ran 2072 km (outside) and burned 125519 cals! LOL I wonder in that time span how much running I did inside?

Belinda** Have a good workout. I hear ya on the clean floors. Its hard with dogs and kids!

Cookie** Yep...I train people on the weekends as well. Gotta do it when I can. Enjoy your day today! Sounds like you have been looking forward to it.

I may bbl!

Good morning!

Lori, I didn't check in yesterday either I was way too lazy!

This morning I did CLX Leaner Legs and 30 min on the elliptical. I find that I am the most productive when I wake up and workout right away cuz then I have lots of energy throughout the day, otherwise I lay in bed all day and nothing gets accomplished! We are going up to CT today for my friend's daughter's 1st birthday. Should be a good time.

Belinda, I'm so glad Browler is ok! The chem test was actually pretty easy. I studied way too hard for what it actually was lol

Kristin, I think we got 18" on Thursday. It was crazy!! Funny thing was we were "supposed" to only get 6" LOL! Seriously I should have been a weather girl Great job on finishing M1!! Did you hear back from the student's mom?

Helene, did you see CCC is on tap for next week too?! Honestly this rotation kicked my ass and I can't wait for it to be over lol. Yep, I'm working out at 4:30 AM Tues & Thurs. It's actually not too bad. I'm so busy on those days that I don't really have time to think about how tired I am

Deb, that is crazy about the bomb scare!!! I didn't even hear about it! I'm so glad to hear your FIL is doing a lot better.

Cookie, the transition to FT student was actually REALLY easy. I didn't think it would be. I'm glad I get a second chance at this because I appreciate school way more than I did when I was in undergrad. I'm also a lot less stressed compared to when I was at the hole, despite the workload and I'm always busy which I LOVE! Have a great time at the wedding!

Lori, not cool of your friend. I can't stand when people always cancel; it's very rude! Glad to hear you made up for it though

Hi to anyone I missed. Have a great weekend!!

Hey girls....quick check in here. I just finsihed walking the dog and thats all im doing today. The house needs to be cleaned so im going to do that as my workout.

Belinda-May sounds good...just let me know when and where you want to meet We live about 40mins west of ATL. Maybe we can meet for dinner or a drink somewhere?

Cookie-I use to have Jillians 30 day shred but sold it I really do like her, i just like Cathe better,lol. Im spoiled with Cathe...

Hey to everyone ...have a good day

Hi all. Just got done with MMA Fusion plus yoga-inspired abs. I really did not think I would like the yoga-inspired abs, but I loved it and my core feels all fired up. Now I am grading midterms and then doing a little wii with my wise guys before I have to get ready for the party tonight.

Cookie and Melissa- I was not so angry at the fact that he plagiarized, you know? I mean, he was not the first one in my career to do this, and he certainly won't be the last. Kids try it all the time. It was the fact that he flat out denied it even with all the evidence in front of us, and then almost was hinting that maybe his mom plagiarzed for him. I don't know. The way he denied it too, like I was crazy for not believing him, blew my mind. I know they are only 13, but geez. Instead of apologizing or even admitting it, he was completely indignant about the whole thing. I have spoken to the mother only once before. She seemed nice enough and supportive, but we suggested he go on a daily progress report and she never enforced it. I have checked my email five times now and there is no response yet. We will see. . .

Lori- How old is DH's gma? I bet you are making some good $$$ with all these PT sessions, that's awesome.

Melissa- 18 inches as oppsed to 6, hmm. . . Did you hear? another storm this week. Where are we going to put it?

Amelia- Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Hello to everyone else! I have to get back to work now, lol.

Kristin

Hi,

Today I did Lower body blast. Hmm, all this talk about cleaning house I so need to do it maybe it will be tomorrow's w/o like Amelia. We went to the rehab today and brought my FIL's dog, she is a crazy dog but yet was so calm around my FIL. Animals are amazing how they pick up on things.

Belinda - I'm not sure why I thought about this today, but how will you do your workouts when you traveling on the RV?

Cookie - I never thought about that but what would you wear on your feet with a dressy dress Have fun at the wedding. My arms aren't bad but I have a twinge in my back.

Lori - I was thinking what if you relied on PT as your only income I remember one trainer complaining to me that it happened all the time to her with the most lame excuses.

Melissa - It was weird they didn't make a big deal about it because my BIL who works on task forces couldn't find info either. Do you have day or evening classes?

Amelia - I bet your doggie was happy today

Kristin - I'm not sure where we are going to put this snow. Parking at the malls feels like the holidays because their are mounds of snow all over

Iris, Helene & Trish - Hi are you guys playing in the snow today

Have a great night

 

[bayerngirl]

Good evening,

Cookie - No, you never mentioned getting a German sheperd! That's great! Have fun at the wedding today!

Lori - you miss you too! Look at those KM and cal you been burning! wOW!

Melissa - meaner legs, I meean LL is a tough one! Glad your chem test was easy.

Amelia - I hear you on hte house. I will let you know, when we are in the area, ok!

Kirstin - nice job, on MMA Fusion/abs today.

Debbie - I still haven't done LBB, good job today! LOL, like I mentioned before our RV has 2 pop outs, in the living room area! I bought Cathe's small step, which is perfect in small spaces! I usullay bring DB's & BB with us!For cardio I also like to go for a run with DH! That's funny, I was thinking the same thing today, what rotation I am gonna do while I am on the road? All my dumbells/barbells are in Germany. I still have a small BB(up to 40 or 50#) in El Paso? Which would work fine, but I don't have any DB's, they are all here in Germany. Either I will pack some in my suitcase (which makes no sense) or I buy some once I land in the US?We are only allowed 70# each suitcase, I will bring 2 suitcases with cloth, lol! Gotta have cloth, right? I think I will do circuit workout while on the road and buy more DB's? I also have Bob Harbors new DVD's, which only requires a set of DB's? I looked through Cathe's rotations today, found a few I could do in the RV! Gotta stay fit! LOL! I also will bring my tubing/bands! I also have a stability ball/mat in the RV! I am set

Maybe you guys have recommandation on a rotation with little or no equitpments???

Good night ladies!
