Hi and good morning,


Today I am getting my MRI results:D I am so glad the waiting is over!

I will keep you posted!

I will take a walk today, unless the doctor tell me, I can go for a run;) I can't wait to get back to normal!

I will be back with personals!

Take care,
 
Morning

Belinda-Yay,no more waiting...im sure everything is fine!

Trish-High Fives on the gym membership,yay! Nice job on your workouts

Lori-Awesome run yesterday! ive got my fingers crossed that insanity will arrive today!

Hey to Debbie,Iris,Cookie & Helened

Today is cardio and abbs for me...not sure yet what i will be doing!

The 5k race is tomorrow. I never did pre-register:confused: and i kinda debating on going. DH has been working 12hr shifts this week and im sure the last thing he wants to do is get up early in the morning. I could go by myself i guess, get someone to take a picture for me;) Its so close,like ten minutes down the road!

If i do decide to do the race...should I take a rest day today?

bbl, time is creeping up on me:confused:
 
Good Morning Ladies.....boy I have some serious catching up to do!! I just came off two back to back doubles...and going back to work this morning...I'm wiped. :confused: Rest day today! Hopefully tonight I can catch up on some personals. :eek:

Besides some pain and some tiredness, Mom is handling chemo ok. No nausea or sickness thus far. I'm keeping my fingers crosssseeeddd.

So I ended up booking flight and hotel to Daytona through orbitz. I'm going down Thurs. afternoon and coming back Monday night. It all ended up being the same price if I would have booked separate, and I got the oceanfront room! Woohoo!! Does anyone know when hurricane season ends?? I'm kinda concerned about that.

Belinda- I'll be thinking about you today....do you have an appt? Or do you have to call?

Amelia- I say go for it tomorrow!

BBL!
 
Hey everyone,

Sorry no check-in for me yesterday either.

Belinda: We're all crossing fingers, toes, hair ... you name it we've got them crossed. Let us know when you get the results so we don't cramp up. I hope you can start getting some runs in soon.

Amelia: Go for the race. Can your sister help out with watching? It would be nice to go. Then you would have a time and know what you need to beat next year. If it's a 5k I think you could do some workout today. Let me know how your calorie changes are working out for you as well. Food wise, I had a horrible week. TTOM coming soon, I'll blame it on that, but I'm not proud. I had one day at 2700 and two at 2000 already. :confused: I'll reset this weekend 'cause I am wiped (with a four day week, who knew....)

Iris: I am so glad to hear that your mom is handling the chemo well so far. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will keep going well. You've had quite a week! I hope you have time to catch your breath sometime soon between work and your mom to worry about. Great to hear you got the oceanfront room! Woohoo. Hurricane season is supposed to last until the beginning of November, but really, the high season I always thought was end of August to almost the end of September. When you get to October, they really are not as frequent (yes, I used to watch the weather channel too much, but now we cut cable so no more!). I think you should be fine and you are going to have a great time.

Trish: So if you have a YMCA membership, does that mean you have two gym memberships? :eek: if you use them both and do some workouts at home you are wonder woman. Although, from the running times you are posting, I'm thinking you already might be. DS starts school next week. He is very excited. We're trying to get DD is the daycare were DS has his before and after school because it's a bit hard right now driving everybody around to different places.

Lori: How are you feeling. Is that cold history? I keep thinking I should get Insanity too. I might just be crazy. Someone should take the plastic away from me. I think I need to wait (plan is to get it in the new year as a reward). I did preorder STS cardio back in May so I think when that ships I will get my high intensity cardio fix. But that might be another month or too. Hope I can make it ;) Don't do too much enabling OK?

Cookie: How did RS go yesterday? Cathe and the gang were quite busy yesterday because they also did Imax with me. Hope you are not too busy. Did you son and new DIL go on a honeymoon?

Yesterday was Imax for the first time for me. I enjoyed it quite a bit but I felt wiped from the beginning. Don't know why, I had TWO rest days with lots of eats. I should have been supped up for that one. But Nooooooo! Anyways, did manage to finish it and who knew that even back then with the funny outfits Cathe and gang were already doing airjacks?! Anywho, this morning was supposed to be STS disc 12 legs and I left it for tonight. DH will make sure I get it done. I also didn't do disc 11 this week so I'll have to fit it in this weekend.

TGIF everyone!

Good morning girls,

Today I'm taking Zumba (cardio dance class). I have to go to work for 1/2 day today thought I would have the day off:(

Belinda - Good luck today:) let us know the results.

Amelia - I say go for it:D it's so close too you can hop out of bed and be there. I would ask Lori (the running expert) if you should take a rest day:D:D

Iris - So happy to hear good news about your Mom.

Trish - I would try the classes some you will like and others not so much, depends on instructors etc. . . but let us know how you like it.

Lori - If you don't get insanity soon, I would call the 800 # and ask for S&H to be refunded since they are so off on the date for delivery. They will usually do that.

Cookie, & Helene enjoy your workouts today.

BBL, Have a great day everyone:)
 
well,i down loaded CCV4 into my husbands mp3player(hehehe) because mine is acting crazy...and it start raining:mad: SO,i decided on cardio X (p90x) it was short and sweet. About 40mins,burned 300cals.

I think i will go for it tomorrow. Unless i talk myself out of it by the end of the day:confused: I could wake up and go by myself. It would be nice to sleep in tomorrow:rolleyes:

Debbie-I got my scale in the kitchen area at walmart...over where measuring cups where!

Iris-Good news on your moms chemo thus far! High fives on booking your ocen front room:eek: so exciting! I think hurrican season ends around march(?)

Helened- Atleast your still counting cals...when i have bad days i wouldn't bother:confused:, just eat like a crazy women:eek:. Im pretty proud of myself,been right on target with my cals this week(knock on wood;)) my WI is tomorrow...im excited.

Hey to everyone...i will bbl

OMG,forgot to tell you guys about my niece yesterday...well, my sister met me at a gas station to give me patience(niece) and she had to go to work. WELL, as she was putting the car seat in my truck,she set her wallet on the top of my truck...i had no idea, and she forgot it:confused:.

when i got home she left me a message and was hysterical and crying. She had all her info in her wallet(no cash,thankgoodness) Well she decides to skip work and comes back to my house. Meanwhile one my neighbors dogs get out( BIG rockwaller) My sister is SCARED to death of dogs and is sitting in my driveway calling me. agian..hysterical. Luckly it was the nice rockwaller so i assure her its ok to get out of the car. She calls the bank to put a freeze on ther CC's. We couldn't remember the name of the station we met at( we were laughing at this point) And the drama keep going all day...i was out of milk(patience takes a nap after her warm milk), she lost her wallet so she didn't have any money, DH had the bank card so i didn't have any money(we found some change,lol) ...sigh...it was a VERY interesting day. Oh and patience wasn't in the best mood either...probably because her mother was a crazy woman all day,lol

anyway...a nice man called and found her wallet(in the road not too far from the station) around 3ish...she picked it up on the way home.

O.k lets try this again. I kept trying to checkin on DH's computer and the stupid thing keeps jumping all over the place and kept closing out the site. So I moved to my work laptop. Hopefully I will get this done before DS wants to do something. I highly doubt it though.

So here is the scoop with Insanity. Beachbody said that I wasn't charged for xpress postage b/c they don't offer that to canada. Im pretty sure it was an option with Canada in brackets or I would have never choose it. Im not 100% sure I didn't get charged for it either. Shipping cost 24.95 canadain. Now canada post as updated their website and now my new arrival date is the 21st! It seems as if my parcel as been sitting in ontario for the past 10 days!:mad: I am a little irritated by this and I wish I knew someone else is canada that ordered something so I could see what their price for shipping was. But on the other hand, I am training for my race so its not a big deal anyway. I won't be doing a rotation with them until after my race is over and thats not until the 3rd week in Oct.

Belinda** Can't wait to hear what your results are. I hope its good news!!!!

Ameila** I have those days...they aren't good days either. At the end of the day you don't know if you should laugh or cry! I think you should do the race. its only a 5k...you can do that no sweat!

Iris** I bet you are looking forward to that trip. I could use a mini vaca right now. DS was so bad last night when I brought him home from the sitters. I lay down with him for over an hour and he still wasn't asleep when I walked out of the room. I had to have a glass of wine before i went to bed and I don't even like wine!

Helene** No enabling here! LOL I can't talk you into something when I don't have it myself! LOL The cold is still hanging on but it isn't to bad. The worst day I felt was on Wed.

Deb** Have fun at your class today!

O.k...gotta jet. Im gonna get ready to go for my run. I don't want to go until 1'ish though, that way everyone should be back from their lunch breaks and the traffic shouldn't be to bad!

Lori:)
 
Uptate on my back!:(

Today I went to the Doctor for the MRI review; good news is that it was not as bad as they originally thought, although I do have three herniated disks. The nerve is more than likely being aggravated by and inflamed bone between the rib and the spine. There is wear and tear a well as what appears to be Arthritis. The orthopedist gave me another shot directly to the inflamed area and prescribed more pills for inflammation and muscle relaxers. They have also scheduled me for Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, and a back support. I am still very frustrated because I am still not allowed to exercise to any great extent. No high impact aerobics, no step, no lifting and no running. She did say I can do a few ab crunches nothing to crazy! I was so depressed after leaving the orthopedist. How do I keep my weight down? By walking like a duck? I am gonna burn a lot of cal! What cardio can I do besides SLOW walking? I can’t swim, so that is out of the question! I hate riding the bike in the gym at a slow rate. I am going out of my mind.

BBL!
 
Belinda-Can you do the elliptical? How long before you able to lift weights and do high impact stuff? I looks like your getting good treatment...just hang in there girl, your a fighter and im sure you'll be just fine:) walking will keep your weight down as long as you maintain your healthy eating...


Well i just ordered muscle max...i missed that workout(had to sell it back in december) im going to hold off on any of Cathe's step workouts...i don't do enough of them to matter. Ive got BM2,LIC,RS on dvd, and IMax2 and C&W recorded...thats enough for now. I also plan on getting 1 20lb dumbell this weekend,next weekend i will get another one,lol

anybody else play Dejeweled on Facebook? im so addicted:eek:

Amelia, I don't know! I hope soon. I have to take it easy from here on out. I will try to use the elliptical, BTW, you getting in some good workouts latey. You gonna like MM, that's a good one!
 
Im on DH's computer again and I will stay as far away from that sensitive mouse pad as i can! Could be tough though:confused:

I went for run with DS and boy it was tough. The wind was in my face for part of it but I don't think I am use to pushing him anymore:eek: I felt like I was sprinting the whole time.Not only that but it was warmer out then I thought. Anyway, I did about 14 kms.

Belinda** Soooo sorry to hear about the news! But atleast you don't have to have surgery! How about riding bike at the gym? Are you allowed to do that? Swimming would have been a great option if you swam. I can see how you would be fustrated. Are you going to lift lighter weights the next time around?;)

Ameila** I would miss MM to! I could get rid of a few of my workouts but not that one. I love the full body workouts cause they always leave me sore. I was going to do disc 34 today but I doubt I will now.

BBL gals...KFC for supper tonight!!!

Lori:)
 
Lori, I am not a swan:eek: Nice try, it's not from lifting! I must had it for awhile, it just came out now.And yes, I will go lighter with my weights:p nice run today, my friend!
 
Hey,

Belinda- So sorry to see this update. I was hoping you would be so much better by now. The elliptical is a great idea from Amelia. The bike might be too depending on which ones they have at the gym. I would think you would have to be careful of your form and make sure you don't hunch your back. And how about those ski machines that used to be popular. If you have a gym and they still have one, I would think you could have nice form for your back. I think the physical therapist should be able to tell you a lot more about all that. Can you chose who you see and find someone that is more oriented towards athletes? If you can't swin, is it a good time to learn? Could be your opportunity!

BBL (I'm still at work).
Hugs

Helene
