Good Morning!

Yesterday was a rest day for me. I had to go back to work at 7:45 and by the time I got home it was to late to workout. I probably would have if my dads room weren't right next to the TM. So once I get this coffee gone I may do my workout, we will see. I also want to get weights in todya but I have a feeling that my workout will be done at two seperate times today.

We had a very weird day at work yesterday. My boss called a meeting at 2 o'clock and it was only 1 when he did that. I managed to find everyone thankfully. I think most of us thought that he was going to tell us that we are closing down. We rely heavily on the Americans for our business and things in the States haven't been good. He said back in Jan he received a business proposal to buy a few businesses here...including the one he currently runs. And it was a package deal, you couldn't buy one without buying them all and your talking about millions and millions of dollars. All of it being related to the aviation business. I guess they felt like they should offer it to him even though they knew he wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money. So of course he knew what was going to happen if he didn't buy it...someone else would. As of right now, he will no longer be running our operation come March 31st. The people who have bought the business made it clear that they want to run it as a business so we should be fine. It would be pointless for them to try and hire new people to do the job when they already have a staff who runs the place without a boss with them 24/7. In the meantime a million things could happen. They may even end up trying to sell it to my boss b/c they only bought it has a package deal, or they may even pay him a good salary to run it. Who knows? Everytime I woke up last night I thought about him and his FIL, who started up the business over 50 yrs ago. He shows up every morning around 9'ish for a coffee and a cookie. Anyway...I guess we will probably know more in the next couple of weeks. I have a feeling it will probably workout better for us in the long run. We will probably be busier b/c these people can set the price for their own fuel. My bosses hands were kinda tied when it came to selling fuel and couldn't compete with our competitors prices.

Belinda** enjoy whatever you decide to do today.

I am hoping to catch up on personals but DS is dragging me from one room to the next. I decorated the tree last night so right now, thats the room he wants to be in!

Good Morning Ladies

Yesterday I managed to pump out GS Legs Timesaver 2 and L&G floorwork starting with the calf work. All in all it was a decent workout! I have some DOMS in my buttocks area, but not as bad as usual which is fine this week since I'm supposed to not be pushing it anyways. Today will be a run/abs.

Belinda- didn't you do MIS yesterday?? And put up a stinkin' tree..even if it's a two footer! lol

Amelia- 6.2 is about the fastest I run as well. Nice workout yesterday! So when will your rest day be?

Lori- What a shame about your boss.....after his dad starting the company and all...is he around retirement age? I mean, like what you said, they may keep him running it! I think we should all post pics of our tree's on our profiles! What do you (all) think?? I love love love trees.

Deb- How did your workout go?? That is why I"m afraid to venture from Cathe, from it not being as challenging as she is!

Helene- Ohhh I know exactly where Heart Space is....I thought about going a few times...I met a couple who went there and recommended it. I do work on Monday nights. Is there a Y in clifton park?

Cookie- I am getting Shock Cardio ....pre-ordered a couple of weeks ago..looking forward to it! You're getting it too right? I know I'm going to want a heavy bag now......but have no idea where i'll put it! lol Are you working today??

BBL

[helened]

Morning all,

Belinda: Keep pumping out those workouts. And about the tree........well, I would also skip putting one up if I didn't have the kids around. The neighbors put up their yard decoration already! Now we have to do that too!

Lori: Sorry to hear about your boss. I hope that it works out well for all of you. I think things were a lot nicer back during our parents' generation. But it doesn't matter since this is what we have. I hope you get a good workout in.

Iris: Nice workout. Hope you are doing well taking it easy. Yes, there is a Y in Clifton Park. It's right by the Mall behind Hannaford's at exit 9. I am getting shock cardio also. I'm very excited about it.

Deb: So did you get the Gowearfit armband? I got one last month and I love it. The info is great. I love gadgets too! You do walk a lot that's for sure!

Cookie: I know what you mean about the cars. We try to have one old and one new. We try to keep them 10-12 years so we have one reliable car at all times. Are you getting going to be busy for Thanksgiving. I haven't read about you doing MIC for quite a while.

Amelia: Awesome getting a workout in on your rest day! You go girl. How much further to goal? Good luck with eating well tomorrow. At least if it's the four of you, you have a fighting chance.

Iris and Cookie: My friend is getting her first level of certification for Anusara Yoga. She is giving a free class on Friday at Heart Space from 11am to 12:30. She needs to be observed teaching. If you are not out shopping, Maybe you can join us? All levels welcome.

Well yesterday turned out into a rest day with a glass of wine to boot. Sometimes I really feel like one after I get home from work I would have had a second one except I had a meeting over the phone at 9:30 and I would either have fallen asleep or slurred my words. I know.... after only two galsses Tonight I am doing yoga and a run. That will be very nice and I am looking forward to it.

Nice workouts everybody. Keep them coming, it is the season to stay on track

Good morning girls,

I wanted to take today off from work but I'm too behind I think Charlean Xtreme would be good for a beginner or someone recovering from an injury (just my 2 cents).

I hope to get either Burn intervals (CX) or a run in today. Need to clean and prepare when I get home tonight. It's only my 4, my Mom, brother, Aunt & Uncle but I still worry.

My boss told me yesterday business isn't very good at Macy's. One of our lines Keneth Cole wallets isn't doing good at all. Alot of the high end lines like Coach are tanking. I think the economy will take a long time to recover from this mess.

Belinda - Well at least put some miseltoe up Enjoy your workout today.

Lori - What a bummer that our economy affects you guys too. Actually you never know a new company can be better sometimes for $$$'s.

Iris - Great job with legs yesterday!

Amelia - I always think it's the desserts at Thanksgiving that sabotage our eating. I go to my in-laws for dessert so I have it 2x's

Cookie - You'll have to let me know how the new Clean Eating cookbook is thinking about getting it. My librabry doesn't carry good books like that

Helene - Any plans for the holiday?

Trish - How are you?

Have a great day everyone

 

[DebD]

If any of you girls would like a 25% Macy's coupon good from 12/2-12/7 with hardly any restrictions for designer names. Email me your address and will get it out to you

Hi Girls!

I lay down with DS when he went to bed, which was late b/c he had a nap, and I fell asleep to. I shouldn't even be typing this b/c Im not fuctioning very well and have made a million mistakes already! LOL

Todays workouts were kinda all over the place, like I figured. I did GS chest and tris in the a.m. After lunch I did the 1st insanity workout (circuit) then tonight my running partner and I went for a small run. I didn't realize it until after we had started running but she did her long run yesterday (training for marathon) and then she went out again tonight? I We had to stop a few times b/c her hip was bothering her. I could have kept running and running but we had to cut it short and we were only out for 38 mins or so. I told her she should have taken a rest day, which she agreed with but said she didn't want to pass up on a beautiful night.

Belinda** Good job with your workout! Do you celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow? It may just be the two of us here!

Helene** Thats to funny about the wine! I use to love having a drink every evening but I like the frozen,sugary,slushy kind! High cal of course! I would have had one tonight if I didn't have to put DS to bed. I knew I would fell asleep b/c I was tired.

Deb** Sorry to hear things are slow as well, hopefully you won't be affected by it. I really do think it will take a long time to recovery from this. It really is sad! I would love to have a coupon...but there is no Macy's around here Ill take a walmart on if you have it! hehe!

Ameila** Good job with your workout! Im kinda jealous that everyone will be eating big meals tomorrow

Iris** Its nice to have a little DOMS in the bum area...makes me feel like things are being lifted up back there

Trish** Hope you enjoy your day with your family tomorrow!

So the only news I received today is that our new boss will be visiting next week to discuss a mutual agreement...whatever the he** that means. Im assuming its good news but who knows!

BB in the a.m!

Lori
