Good morning,

I had the MRI yesterday, wasn't to bad! Just a little loud:p Now I have to wait until Friday to get the final results:rolleyes: I hate waiting! Took a walk after my MIR with DH, I will take a walk today again.

Debbie, hope you had fun at the BBQ yesterday.

Iris, glad you that IMAX helped yesterday. I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers! (((HUGS)))

Amelia, nice job with PH yesterday.

Helene, not 100% sure what triggered this! My doctor told me on Friday, 90lb on my back is to much weight! I will get a second opinion. I knew for now, I can’t do any lifting until my back is better. WTG, on your KB + D 10 yesterday.

Cookie, my back hurts when I sit or walk, it doesn’t matter what I do! I do feel like I need to move my feet a little, at least I am not running, right? Glad the wedding and festivities are over for you, now you can relax a little! WTG, on MIC!



 
Good Morning Ladies.


Up early today to try and get a workout in before going to the hospital. I will do a run ( still doing couch to 5k) and then I MIGHT attempt doing the blasts from either imax 2 or 3....

Belinda- Waiting is the wooorrrstt. And I know what you mean about it being loud. Did you have the IV up the arm? Where they injected you with sh*t every so often? What a weiiirrrd feeeling.

Helene- I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you too............

Cookie- After all of the festivities this weekend, you still attempted MIC?? I've noticed lately that you have the most intense cardio workouts!!

Trish- So they did the Masectomy first on your MIL? They haven't even started talking about that yet with mine........ it's crazy how everyone and every treatment is different....

Ok BBL
 
Morning girls

Today is suppose to be a rest day but i think i will see how far i get with Yoga X. Its an hour and thirty minutes...:confused: last time i did about 45mins of it.

Belinda-Your in my thoughts and i hope your MRI shows nothing serious. I couldn't imagine having to walk around in back pain, its the worse kind of pain ive ever encountered. I had a lower lumbar sprain when i was in my late teens and i thought i was going to die.

Helened-Your mother is in my prayers(((hugs))) im sure she will be just fine. How long have you been on your cycling diet? This is day three for me. I told myself that im not getting on the scale everyday..just on sunday. I think that is one of my problems:confused: Im gonna give it about 6weeks before i change things around.

Debbie-How was the BBQ/pool party?

Cookie-Nice job on MIC yesterday! I bet the wedding was beautiful...got any pics? I just love weddings..DH and I got hitched, maybe my DD will have a big wedding(hopefully a long time away:confused:)

Trish-Awesome cal burn yesterday with LIC...love that workout. And nice job on your eating as well.

Hey to Iris,Lori anyone i missed

I will BBL
 
Good Morning!

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. After I got off of work on Sunday evening we went to a friends cabin for the night. We didn't get back until 2'ish yesterday afternoon. By the time I cleaned up, packed things away, did a load of laundry,went for my run...then ate supper...the day was gone.

I was sooo ticked on Sunday evening. I have come to the conclusion that the nicer you are to people..the worse they are. There are only 2 of us girls left at work and I have covered alot of shifts for the other girl in the last little while. I called her on Friday night to see what time she was coming back from the city on Sunday b/c we were thinking about going to the cabin and I wanted to know if she would go on call for me.She told me that she should be back by dinner time but she would call me. By 4 I still hadn't heard from her so at 5 I called her....she was still in the CITY! I was sooo pissed! It was going to take her atleast 3-4 hours to get back! After all the crap I have done for her in the past couple of monthes she couldn't leave the city 2-3 hours early so she could do something for me? I thought it was very selfish...so what goes around comes around. I am not doing anything else that I haven't already commited to for the next little while. I will lie if I have to and tell her that I am going away or have plans. I never ask for anything and when I do she can't even try and help me out. DH as known her for yrs...says thats the way she is and she as always been that way. She looks out for #1 and isn't to concerned about anyone else.

Belinda** Your DR could be right. That is alot of weight to have on your back. I did squats the other day with 60 lbs and my back was in knots by the time I finished, especailly up around my shoulders. Hope the results are good!!! I hate waiting for anything! LOL I remember when my MIL found out she had breast cancer. She found out on a friday but wasn't meeting with the Dr until Mon to find out how serious it was:confused: It was awful! Why tell someone and then make them wait?

Iris** Hope you had a good workout and a good day!

Im hoping Insanity will show up today!!! Its raining here so my workout will be put off for a while. I was going to go for a run with my running partner but now I think I will be doing Disc 34 (i think) and a run later today.

Im going to try and catch up on yesterdays thread but I do have a 2 yr old in the room with me!

Lori:)
 
Ameila** Good job with PH yesterday. That workout is one of my favs!! How are you doing with the calorie counting?

Helene** My TM use to act up all the time. That was the 1st one I had. It use to speed up out of no where. There was no doubt it was a death trap! I will be doing lots of running until this race is over with. I have a few more weeks yet.

Cookie** So the wedding is over with??? I didn't realize it was this weekend. I bet you had a great time and now life resumes to normal!

Deb** Hope you had a good BBQ with your fam! Im sure there will be more get togethers in my future with my inlaws yet:confused: I dont know why they like to eat together so much. Atleast DH and I are on the same page about that and we often do our own thing.

Trish** Glad to hear you had a pain free workout. I had shin splits at the beginning of my run yesterday...wasn't nice at all!

I think I have caught up on personals! Forgive me if I forgot anyone!

Lori:)
 
Good morning girls,

I keep thinking today is Monday:confused: so since it is Tuesday I'm going to take a boot camp class at the gym. I also have work and also getting my hair highlighted afterwards.

The BBQ was fun. My nephew was visiting from Tennesse. He moved there about a year ago. He had a lot of problems but is on the right path now:) He is opening a really cool cafe with all healthy food using food from the farmer's market.

Belinda - Ugh, the waiting game, will be crossing my fingers for good news on Friday.

Iris - Good luck with the hospital the next few weeks . . . just keep thinking Daytona:)

Amelia - Have fun with Yoga X or your rest day today:)

Lori - That's so unfair what you coworker did:( My inlaws work together so they see each other everyday and they still socialize a lot. I hope insanity gets there today:)

Cookie - You must be exhausted from the wedding activities . . . can't wait to hear about it. Now your a mother-in-law. How close will they live?

Helene - Sorry to hear about your Mom. It sounds like you had a very busy weekend. Does you Mom live nearby?

Trish - Sounds like you cooked up some healthy, yummy food this weekend:) and leftovers for lunch too!!

Have a great day everyone:)
 
Hi girls,

I am done with my walk, which felt much better today. My back is feeling a little better today. I am also planning to do TBS, I will go easy! I am getting so stiff. I miss my workouts the weather is so nice, perfecto for a nice run

Amelia, thanks you! I am still very positive. Have fun with your yoga today.

Iris, I had no IV up my arms? I just laid in a tube for over 20 min, that’s it! I still keep your mom in my prayers!

Lori, glad you had a fun weekend and run. Your and my doctor are right, I am paying for it now! LOL! Once I get the ok to workout again, I will have to lower my weights. But first I will let my back heal and take it easy. Sorry, about the girl at your work. I would be pissed too. Unfortunately there a lot of selfish people out there!

Debbie, how did your boot camp class go? Oh, yeah! The waiting game! Have fun getting your hair done.

Have a great day!


 
Morning Ladies,

Well, I did take that rest day after all so tomorrow's wo will be cardio...pretty sure it will be cc, but not sure which one. My iphone is acting up on me - battery is not holding the charge for very long. I upgraded in July - did I tell you I ran over the other one while on vacay in TX?

Belinda - Which wo is TBS? I'm drawing a blank on that one. Glad DH is there to walk with you.

Lori - Your co-worker sounds like a piece of work. Sorry she messed up your plans. I hope Insanity arrives for you today, too. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I decided to keep my mind open regarding STS cardio, especially if Cathe decides to have a modifier (think I read somewhere that it wasn't decided).

Amelia - Have fun with yoga x...did you decide to stick with p90x after all? I'm enjoying my new rotation so far and already feel a little more room in some pants. Like you, I'm not getting on the scale before the weekend.

Iris - My MIL has had several lumpectomies and last year had a lymph node removed from her right side. She has had radiation treatment in the past but never chemo. There was an option of another lumpectomy, but I think she was tired of all the surgeries (she's 70YO) so wanted to have the mastectomy. Hope things go well for your mom today. ^5 on getting up early to get your wo in!

Deb - I had the same problem yesterday...kept thinking it was Sunday! Have fun with bootcamp today!

Helene - What do you have on the agenda for today?

BBL.
 
My workout is done, YogaX. I did about 47mins of it this time then watched the rest. It got easier shortly after i stopped. :rolleyes:

Lori-I wouldn't do anything for that co-worker agian..some people just don't get it? Your right...what goes around most definitely comes around. Nice job on your run after the busy weekend. Im still counting my cals. Ive got my cals cycled like this:
1600
1450
1600
1400
1550
1600
2000

adds up to be an average of 1600 a day.

Belinda-ejoy TBS...nice job on your walk

Trish-How did you run over you cell? Did you forget it was on the car or something? Sounds like something i would do,lol. I'll admit..I was REALLY wanting to get on the scale this morning:confused: but im holding off...when do you WI? Im going for saturday morning. About p90x...i decided to follow one of fitnessfreaks rotations instead..im still doing some of the x workous mixed in.:)

Debbie-enjoy your bootcamp class and hair appt. Ive thought about getting mine highlighted...its been awhile

Iris-How did your workout go?

Hey to Helened and Cookie!
 
'Evening!
Belinda, sorry you have to wait to hear the MRI results. I'm not good with waiting for any news like that. That was a lot of weight you were lifting! One of my sister's is a sport-medicine dr and she said a lot of her patients injure themselves doing deadlifts. Guess we have to use really good form when doing them. What a wonderful DH you have - he's a keeper. When my piriformis was bad last yr, I discovered many computer games. What are you doing to pass the time and deal with the frustration?
Lori, your coworker seems pretty selfish. Sorry you have to deal with her. Going to the cabin sounds wonderful.
Iris, how's your mom? Did you get your marathon wo in? Yesterday MIC was a struggle, but today's Imax was great. I love plyo and interval blasts. Lately steady state just doesn't make me feel like I've worked out.
Amelia, I have to get my DD to upload the photos, and try to figure out a way to post a couple of them. The weather was beautiful, and the ceremony and reception were right on a lake. The food was good, everyone was happy, and it's over! Still can't believe I'm old enough to be a MIL! It really does make me feel old. Am still reading the End of Overeating - it's good. Full of info, short chapters, but I'm portioning it out so that I think more about what I've read. Often I read way to fast and it doesn't all penetrate my thick head.
Deb, I am exhausted! All that talking and socializing, plus the planning and fretting, tire me out. Hope none of the rest decide to get married for a while. The newlyweds live a bit more than an hour away - actually not far from where I work. The bride's father told me his job was to show up and pay up; I replied mine was to show up and shut up. Isn't that a job description for a MIL? Your nephew's cafe sounds wonderful. Let's make a road trip. Did you keep the same color highlights? My DD got her redone last week and went darker for autumn.
Trish, LOL at what happened to your other cell. Sounds like something I would do. Your poor MIL has had a lot. How is she handling it emotionally? How was the dance lessons extravaganza?
Helene, any news about your mom? Thinking of you and her.
Did original Imax this morning. Last evening took the dogs for a walk, but I think it is plyo that is causing my calves to tighten up. Anyone else notice a connection between plyo and calf muscles? Picked up a couple of different cookbooks from the library and now want to rethink this week's meals! If only I had more hours in the day, I could do more workouts and eat better. Got Kelley C-M's new dvds today and am hoping to squeeze them in later this week.

Hey everyone,

Late posting for me. I think it's going to be a habit. If I post in the morning I have to rush my workouts and I just don't like to post from work too often. Though I do lurk during the day :eek:

Belinda: Glad to hear that you are better. It seems to be that a week is what is needed to recover for a lot of people. I'm crossing my fingers that you can go on and feel great by Friday. Then the MRI results will hopefully just confirm that all looks OK.

Lori: Yeah, too bad about your coworker. But keep being nice. When you are nice, nice people gravitate to you as well and then you will find other dependable friends. I agree with others, I wouldn't do anything for this particular lady anymore. Especially if your DH says she is usually like that. Then there's no need to go out of your way. You could always say DS is sick......let's see, frequent ear infections? :eek:

Trish: I went to TJM. Saw the Cathe ball at $9 but didn't buy it, I actually want the big one that looks like a basketball I think. I did come out with a bunch of stuff I wasn't planning on. I got "operation" for the kids. You know the game where it buzzes when you touch the sides with the plyers trying to get the little bones. I remember playing that when I was little! So sorry to hear that your MIL has been through so much. I hope the treatments will have worked when this is all done.

Amelia: Well done with YogaX. I still weigh myself everyday, but I write it down. So I can compare my weight to the previous week on the same day and see if I am making any progress. I am just adicted to the darn thing. I swear, if there was one at work I might step on it. :confused: Anywyas, right now I am also cycling my calories (3 days at 1400 to 1500 and 1day at 1900-2000). It seemed to work well. Until tonight, I think TTOM is right around the corner and I went a bit off plan........chocolate.......my downfall everytime, and DH keeps buying some for the kids. Let me know how that rotation works out for you. My weight seems to be going down now that I added a bit more cardio (probably 4 good sessions) on top of STS. Before I think it was not enough.

Cookie: Great to hear the wedding went well. LOL on the FIL paying up and the MIL shutting up. I get along great with my MIL so hopefully you can find have a good relationship with your DIL. I bet you are sleeping like a baby now that all the wedding stuff is done and you have that nice new bed. Won't know the details for my mom until she goes for a checkup on the 15th. Then we'll know more how to proceed. I'll have to try Imax sometime. I bought the disc when it was 30% off but haven't tried it yet. And I do like Imax 3 and Imax 2. Well done on the workouts. After the run up to the wedding, you probably deserve a vacation!

Deb: Yeah, I didn't realize that we just have a 4 day workweek until I saw your post this morning. Still couldn't get into it somehow. I was sluggish all day. And hungry :(. Glad to hear the BBQ was fun and that you got to see family. A cafe with local Farmer's market food sounds delicious.

Iris: sorry to hear that your mom is going through some health issues as well. She is lucky you are around here. That is one thing that makes me sad. My mom is in France. At least my dad takes good care of her.

hey to everyone else I might have missed.

Today was a rest day. And tonight was my night off the diet without meaning to. I didn't mean to have a cheat meal, but a cheat meal I had. Oh well, I enjoyed it. And I haven't had one for a long time. So I'll have lots of energy for tomorrow morning's workout.

Have a good night all!
Helene
 
Hi Ladies:)

Well...I sat down in the living room hoping to have a little peace and quiet...and check in with my cyber friends BUT DH has decided to play the guitar and sing on the other side of the room:confused: O.k, just asked him to leave...he is gone:D Oh wait...no he isn't. Now he is stood up in the kitchen playing! Dear lord, what does a girl have to do to get a bit of quiet time. He as now moved on and talking about his hunger:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Todays workout was chest and back in the a.m and I just finished CC #6. Of course I was kept busy all day and we went to visit the baby sitter b/c DS goes back tomorrow morning. He hasn't seen her all summer so I wanted to refresh his memory. No doubt I will have trouble getting out of there tomorrow morning. Also, we were potty training all day. We did pretty good until we went out and when we got back from the sitters he didn't want to put his pull up back on. He was playing in the back yard with no clothes on and when I looked his was pooping on the lawn, (fascinated by it) he would move 2 feet, poop again...it was just a cycle. And then the dog was going right behind him smelling each peice of crap!:mad: So that was that..back in the house and pull up back on.

Belinda** Glad to hear you back seems to be doing a bit better!! If thats the case then hopefully time will heal it and not surgery! Can you imagine how long it would take to heal from that??

Ameila** I bet you are going to lose weight! That seems to be a sensible range. I staggered a few monthes back and lost 5 lbs in one week. I think I must have gained 5 lbs that I wanted to get rid of...I can't remember. My lowest day was 1000 though:confused: that was tough and I don't even think I followed it. If I did...I must have slept half of the day:p

Deb** How was your workout tonight? I bet alot of people thought today was Monday.

Helene** So fess up...what was your cheat meal?? was is something yummy!?:D

Cookie** Oh my...its been a long time since I have done the orginal Imax. I use to think that was the toughest workout ever and I thought I could eat whatever I wanted after i was done! I should do it and see how hard I find it.

Trish** We are a hard bunch on phones as well. DH bought us both blackberrys and his is a peice of crap now. DS threw it in a cup of coffee so his speaker is ruined on it so he has to put everyone on speaker phone! He needs to get a new one but doesn't want to pay the $ for one.

So now Insanity today. Im sure it will arrive tomorrow while everyone is out of the house. Then again, they will just deliver it to DH at work and I will get busted:eek:

BB in the a.m!

Lori:)
