[bayerngirl]

Hi and good morning ladies,

Today I will do Butts & Guts! I will workout tonight after we came back from Munich. DS wants to go to Dachau to see the concentration camp He is studying European history.

I am so tired of rain. It's been cold and rainy the last few days

I will be back to report my workout!

Trish, glad you had fun in NY yesterday. Love your new avatar

Have a good one!

Good morning!
Sorry for not getting here last night - our internet satellite wasn't receiving again.
Belinda, your son sure is keeping you busy! Have you been to Dachau before? Good job getting your wo in with all the sightseeing.
Amelia, how's the weather down your way? It was 92 here yesterday and wonderful. Then severe thunderstorms in the evening. Are you still logging with myfitnesspal?
Trish, love the photo. You're tall, and so slim. Your ub work has paid off - you got "Michelle arms!" So, my dear - details...
Lori, have you spoken with your MIL about her checking your phone? When things calm down, you might want to think about just explaining to her that it's your personal property. Could it be she just wasn't thinking clearly with everything going on? My DH made us live at least 45 mins from nearest relatives. At first I thought it wasn't necessary, but over the years, it's proved to be a great thing for our sanity.
Deb, how did it go yesterday? Did you get your DH paperwork together? That sounds just like my guy - asking for something at the last minute when I have zero interest/energy to find it.
Iris, how's everything? Wasn't yesterday beautiful? How's your family holding up? Are you moving? You sure have a lot of stress in your life right now. Hope you're okay. Didn't you do this rotation last year? The bull is a good animal for you - strong, loyal, yet loving. One of my neighbors has a few of them, and he always says they just act tough, but really are very caring, just protective of their families.
Well, yesterday I did, I think sts 10 - it was chest, shoulders and bi. I think I'll do today's wo this evening. Meetings, paperwork, and meetings again today. So I'll be thinking of my wo as my reward. Okay, off to go earn some bucks!

Belinda- Have fun with B&G!!

Cookie- Hope you have a good day at work!!

Amelia- great workout yesterday!!

Trish- Wowww..2 lumpectomy's?? I'm sorry she's going through that...did she do chemo as well??

I will find out more about mom after work....she goes back to the oncologist this morning. Thank you all for asking! Our cable is supposed to shut off tomorrow and i'm not getting hooked up until Tuesday...so hopefully somehow I can snag some time online later or at my parents...

Hi again...one more quick check-in before I shower...I ended up doing some cardio...Rhythmic Step through the first step segment..and then finished with the last 3 intervals from Imax. Workout was 40 min. and burned 320 calories...I'm happy with that considering!

Cookie- so you thought the weather was nice yesterday? I thought it was humid...lol I'm glad I was inside all day....and another humid day today...I can't believe how much i sweat today! And yes I think I was "going to" do this rotation last year, but then the vcr ate my leaner legs and just recently I broke down and bought the dvd set for S&H...lol

Have a great day all!!

 

[punka274]

Hey girls, real quick post this morning! Im getting ready to go yard sales maybe i can get some good deals...

BBL with some personals....

Good morning girls,

Yesterday was so much fun. The workout was tough. Actually tricky it doesn't seem hard but gets you in the end. I feel DOMS in my legs already I'm sure you heard Cathe is going on a national tour sponsored by Eggland. The breakfast was so good too I met all kinds of people all sizes, shapes backgrounds but it is so weird how we all connect. Some people there didn't even know about Cathe's website

All in all it was great it was like a glimpse of what a roadtrip is like. I also met Lauramax and we took the train home together. She is so nice!!

Trish - Great picture, love the color of your tank.

Belinda - You'll have to let us know all about Dachau it sounds sad but yet so interesting. We're having trouble with too much rain too Have fun with Butts & Gutts.

Cookie - I hope work goes quickly for you and have fun with your workout later.

Iris - I hope you hear good news about your Mom today, let us know.

Amelia - Have fun at the yard sales today, maybe you'll find Cathe stuff Have fun with cardio coach today.

Lori - I read about your incident with MIL. It must be frustrating that she looked at your phone. I think you'll need to hide it when you go over there Good luck with your race this weekend It's strange they are doing before photos of the race usually they do after photos.

BBL, Have a nice day everyone!

 

[DebD]

Hi,

I forgot to tell you that my older son hit a tree last night and totaled his car. Thank god he is alright. I think right about now DH wishes he had girls instead of boys.

 

[gidget1978]

Hey Girls!

Just getting a chance to check in. I have been kept going at work all morning...now that the boss is gone, I can check in

I guess its true about things happening in "3's" 3 deathes this week.Its to bad that michaels death is over shadowing Farrahs death, it certainly kicked her to the sidelines. But I guess Michael as always been in the media (big time, good or bad) So sad I remember trying to do the moonwalk when I was just a little girl. I think he would have been a nice looking guy if he didn't do what he did to his face! He looked awful!

So yesterdays workout was Legs (sts) and boy....those workouts get in there GOOD! My UB isn't usually sore from STS but my legs always are. Then last night we went for a 17k run. Needless to say, I can barely walk today. Im not so sure I should have done legs with a race coming up but its only 10k.

Belinda** HAve a good day with your son! Its muggy and warm here...not that nice actually! Im happy its not cold though

Ameila** HAve fun at the yard sales!

Cookie** I haven't spoken to my MIL since, she left the next day to go to the city. Im sure she is fine, b/c I don't think she fully understood what she read. I gave DH the heads up though. It didn't have anything to do with "them" as such, just "them + DS" hehe! I think when you invite people with small kids you should have dinner at a sensible time!

Iris** I missed what was going on with your mom...I will have to read yesterdays thread. Keep us posted!

Deb** So glad to hear your son is o.k!

Lori

Hi Lori,

I was thinking the same thing that Michael's death is overshadowing Farrah's. They both died too early. I wonder who will get Michael's children. I always wonder if people just want the children for the money

Hey ladies!

I'm still on my high from yesterday! Let's hope my motivation stays up for a while Today's workout was D2...not really sure if I'm doing all of STS but the short wos are definitely convenient Tomorrow DD has her dance recital @ 12:00 and 6:00. In between, I'm hoping to get on the elliptical and do a CC wo.

Belinda - Are you doing B&G straight or a premix? I guess either way your tooshie is going to be screaming Have fun!

Cookie - Ooooh, I love Michelle's arms. I let mine get a little out of tone (last summer they were rockin!), but I'm working on it. So, the event was really nice (I'm going to upload pics to an album later today) and the wo was everything you would want from Cathe. There was a live DJ who kicked a$$!! The music was pumping and the sweat was flying! I hated for it to end. But, the egg eats were waiting. So, there was a soufle (you must try this...it is sooooo good) and a variety of deviled eggs that were also slamming. The goodie bags had a Cathe stretch band and a bunch of eggland stuff (spatula, stuffed toy, egg poachers, coupons, etc.). All-in-all, it was 2-hours well spent. Is today STS or cardio for you tonight? I love that you think of working out as your reward..HA!

Iris - Wow, that's a great wo after pulling doubles! My MIL had radiation with the first lumpectomy and we find out today if anything was found in her lymphnodes and what the next steps are. We're hoping it's just radiation, but we'll see. So, tell us about your new place...is it far from where you live now? Enjoy your wknd if you don't get a chance to check in. I hope all went well for mom at her oncologist appt. this morning.

Amelia - Yard sales are fun!! I love those for picking up toys for the girls. I picked up a couple of great things last summer that they have no interest in this summer, so it was $15 well spent! I hope you find a good bargain.

Deb - I had the same reaction....I spoke to about 10-15 women and none of them were regular forum visitors. There were a few lurkers but that's it. What's up with that??? Actually, most of the women I talked to didn't even own any of her DVDs and only watched her on FitTv...oh, if they only knew what they were missing. The food was yummy. Are you going to try any of the recipes?

Lori - Which STS leg wo did you do? I never made it out of meso1 so I'm wondering just how torturous meso 2 will be Are you getting psyched for your race?

DD is in NYC today at a backup care center provided by my job. I'm headed out to take her to lunch. Will BBL

'Evening Ladies!
Don't know what's going on, but I'm not feeling well. This morning I was real tired, and then tonight while cooking dinner started getting a stomach ache. Now, it's full assault. Well, maybe it will be good for a pound or two. So, needless to say, no workout. Which means sts legs is now on for tomorrow. Gosh, I just keep putting arrows on the calendar for this one.
Deb, is your son alright? We have often said we should have adopted all of our children. Our daughter, is our only DD and is adopted, is a dream compared to the nightmares the boys have put us through. I'd have to stop and really think just to count up the number of car "incidents" with them, but I'm better not knowing the true number. Of course, we've had a few totalled too. My youngest son came home Wed for a few drs appts, one of which was today. He and or my husband got the time for it wrong, and he got there too late. This appt was the main one he came home for, and he missed it one other time. So, a little tension.
Iris, how's your mom? Did she have her oncologist appt today? Okay, so you're correct it was humid, but I did think the morning was quite nice. Of course, now it's pouring again(!). Don't you feel like we're growing mold with all this moisture? Good luck with the move.
Trish, how did you DD like the daycare? That's great your company provides it. Thanks for the info on Eggland. Did you get the souffle recipe? Seems strange people don't know about Cathe's site and be like us her groupies, and then go to the event. Still wish I could have gone.
Amelia, any good finds? I love the bargains and the thrill of the hunt. The other day I stopped at a sale, and my DD found Cathe's dvd that comes with the step package. Picked it up for only $1.75. Think I'll pass it on to someone I've mentioned Cathe too. First I better ask if she's interested, don't want to seem like I'm saying she needs it - even tho she does!
Lori, how did the photo session go? Did they ask you to come before so they could actually have one before you become a blur in the race? Michael just was too weird for me. But I do feel bad, especially for his kids. Wonder what will happen to them, and what they're like.
Belinda, how did the day go for you? You're sure getting a lot of walking in with all your sightseeing. Enjoy your son.

Hey Cookie - Sorry you're not feeling well. I've had too may tummy-trouble days this year. Hopefully you will be all better tomorrow. The recipe can be found at http://www.egglandsbest.com/recipes/entrees/recipe/09-06-24/Roasted-Vegetable-and-Tomato-Souffl%C3%A9.aspx?ReturnURL=%2frecipes%2fentrees.aspx Yesterday's souffle was a little on the salty side so I'm going to cut back the salt (although maybe the preparer just got the salt measurement wrong). The daycare was very good. It's DD's 3rd time going there and she really looks forward to it. My youngest was upset that she wasn't coming so I'll have to make plans for her to attend one of these days.

Deb - I missed that your son was in an accident. I'm so glad he is okay and only the car was damaged. My 19YO DD takes my car out a few days a week and I'm always nervous that she will get in an accident. Knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet.

I'm off to bed...tomorrow will be a long day with DD's dance recitals. Have a great weekend everyone.
