Good morning girls,

I am back with personals; sorry it took me that long to answer! Thank you so much for the prayers and hugs for my sister!

Lori** everything we stored in the basement got damaged! We have to put our claim in first, before we can throw everything out! All my DH military cloth (when he goes to the field, war …) got damaged. I have been so stressed out the last few days! DH and were thinking about moving two weeks ago (I was offered that brand new house), but then he and I couldn’t decide! Right now we live on the military installations, it makes life very easy. Everything is close by! I can walk the grocery store, the clinic and so on…! The new house is like 4 km. off post! Which isn’t a bad thing, but we only have one car and DH has to go to work! Put after the second water damage we had in only one year (I had water coming in my bathroom from the outside), DH thinks it is better to move. I also got a little frustrated with my neighbor upstairs; don’t give me wrong, they are very nice people! When I came back from the states a few weeks ago, the new neighbor moves upstairs with their 2 adults kids and two small dogs! Right now my dogs are back in the states due to the heat (they can’t fly), my dogs are used to having the yard (which I share with my neighbor upstairs) all by themselves! My dogs could run around freely, now they let their dogs run around in the yard (which doesn’t bored me at all), but when my big dogs come they will eat those little dogs and not to mentioned All our dogs are male! I see nothing but trouble! When both my sisters came to visit us a few weeks ago, she brought her 2 dogs also male to my house, my sister’s dogs attacked the 2 little dogs, and we didn’t know that the 2 little dogs are in the yard! I just can’t see how that would work out? We have wooden floors in the house, we can hear them walking or stumping around the house. It is just annoying! We will move this weekend and Monday all my stuff from the states will be delivered! My personal stuff is finally here! Thanks for understanding!

We didn’t buy a house, we are renting! That is way we had to sign a contract!

DH and I went on a marriage retreat this weekend! The chaplain had everyone renewed their vows It wasn’t planned at all! Dec 1, I will be married 25 years!

Kim** the can introduce you to a lot of good military men! You will find Mr. Right! I am glad you back with us! WTG on the weight loss! I still have my computer set on El Paso time! Germany is between 6-8 ahead of the US! How did you WI go?

Cookie** my DH is in the military! Here in Germany the army has house/apartment s for military families. My had high blood pressure! My sister is a single mom! She stresses a lot about money! She couldn’t afford to buy her meds on Monday! DH called the pharmacy and paid for her meds! I don’t know way she stays in the US and wants to live like that! She would be better off by moving back to Germany! She is the one I sent school cloth for her DD! They just don’t have the money! It hurts us sisters to see her going through this! We are all trying to get her back to Germany!

Amelia** my sister Ursula didn’t know she had a stroke! She is worried now! She has to take aspirin and blood pressure meds. She did complaint being light headed for the last few weeks!


Oh, I did 4DS Kb yesterday! I didn't had it in me to do more!:mad:

Hey Girls,

I went to check in earlier today but just didn't get around to it. Im deciding what workout to do today. Its sunny so I would like to take advanage of the weather and run outside but at the same time I am due for a full body workout and speed running...what to do, what to do?

Belinda** Sounds like you have a few things up in the air. I can totally see where you are coming from. 4 kms isn't that far. I guess you will have to walk wherever you want to go. Just imagine how skinny you will be;)

Ameila** I loved the Biggest Losert last night.The Tom team was pretty big:confused: I thought the dad was going to be a lot heavier then he was! You may have success with this interview, just b/c you don't care if you get the job or not! LOL Thats the way it usually works. Good job with the scale!!!

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)

Im still not sure what im doing today? I may take a rest day,I may do some cardio(thinking Rythmic step) or some LB(my own stuff)..mmmm I just don't know yet!

Lori-Isn't that weird? I was just thinking how i couldn't of cared less if I got the job or not and thats the mindset i had all morning and then BOOM,I get it...LOL! I Also loved the biggest loser last night! I was drooling over the gym they worked out in,LOL! yeah,the TOM team were pretty big...I just can't believe how much weight was lost:eek:im sure most of it was water weight but wow....that one guy lost like 28lbs in one week...thats just unheard of? I will be watching every tuesday!

Belinda-Have fun packing up....sending more hugs to you!

Hey to everybody!
 
Hi Ladies,

I haven't checked in with y'all for almost a week now!! I have to admit, I've just been lazy...no excuses! But, the workouts have been on target for the most part (today was MM). Actually, I was feeling a little blue because I think a relationship with an old, dear friend is changing in a not so great way. I hate that! Sometimes, you just want things to be like they always were:(.

Anywho, Belinda, girl, so much is going on with you right now:eek:. First, I'm so extremely sorry to hear about your sister. Thankfully, it was a small stroke, but I know it little consolation for you and your family. And as if that weren't enough, your basement flooded...SHEESH! Well, try not to stress too much. It will all work out in the end. Oh, and great job on those S&H static lunges...I also did some LB today...it was the plie squats that got me. There are so darn many in MM:mad:

WTG on the job interview Amelia!! It always feels good to get a job offer...kind of like a little extra validation, right? Enjoy which ever wo (or rest day) you decide on :)

Hi Lori - Did you decide which wo to do? I have never watch the Biggest Loser...I'll have to check it out.

Hello to Cookie, Iris, Kim (nice to meet ya;)), and anyone I may have missed.

Check back later.
 
Happy Hump Day!!

Hello Ladies,

Belinda- Glad to hear that your sister's stroke was not severe. I hope she feels better and hope you all can get her back to Germany, God willing. Good job on the workout 4DS- kb. What does BFL mean???

Amelia- Congrats on the 3# weight loss and congrats on the new job. You go girl!! I love the BL last night too. I was so grossed out and scared when they showed how fat can encase your organs and heart. I gotta get this weight off for good!

Lori- Hope you had a good workout! Don't for get to share some pics from the wedding this weekend so we can see the new hair.

Trish- Hello to you too! Hope you had a good workout.

My workout today was Ripped to the Core this morning. It was very heard to get up at 5am, my body was aching from my walking workout yesterday. How can walking make your whole body hurt?!? Glad I got my but up and did it. I was planning to walk 2-2.5 miles this evening but I am still nursing sinusitis and I don't want it to turn into brochitus (sp) again. My body is telling me to take some meds and rest this evening. I will try to go home and take a nap and see how I feel after that.

I would like you ladies opinion on the question I posted in OD. http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252036
Please share your opinions. I am starting to think that maybe it is a good goal to strive for but don't kill myself. ???
 
Hey Girls!

Todays workout ended up being a 3.5 mile speed run on the TM, 4DS legs and 4DS Chest and Back. Im hoping to run hills tomorrow and do 4DS arms but I kind of had a long run planned for Fri, so I may have to switch things around a little. If it calls for nasty weather on Fri, then I will do my TM run and arms then.
We weren't going to go into the city on Sat but I think we are going to leave Fri evening now. DH's uncle isn't doing very well. I think I told you guys before that he has liver cancer. Its spread to other parts of his body and right now he is on oxygen and not doing the best. DH would like to go spend sometime with him on Sat and we can't see that happening if we don't leave until Sat morning.

Ameila** How weird is that? I knew you would get the job!!! I bet you are on cloud nine!!!

Trish** I have some friends that I am not that close with anymore. Actually one of them only calls me when she wants something OR she sees me running by,or driving and I don't stop to talk to her. Thats when it clicks in (to her) that she hasn't been talking to me in forever. A few monthes back she had a girls night out and didn't call myself or our other close friend, since then I have been kind of like "whatever" Then recently she asked our other friend to go to NY with her. Of course I am wondering why she didn't ask me....who knows? She is TOTALLY self absorbed and thats why I stay away from her. She is going to the same wedding this weekend and do you know that she has went through about 8 friends and still can't find a dress to wear? Its crazy!

Kim** Did you lose last night? Or did I miss it? I will check out your question and give you my thoughts!

BBL!
Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies!

Oh Belinda, your stress level has been so great lately. I've been thinking about you, your sisters, and your families. It is hard enough being a single parent, then compounded by being away from your extended family in a time of need, wow. She is so fortunate to have such wonderful sisters and brother-in-law. It is outrageous about our health insurance. Please take care of yourself.

Amelia, congrats on the job! I'm sure you'll be an asset to them. Are your classes going to be online again? Also, good job on the workouts and weight loss again.

Trish, it is hard when friendships change. Do you find that doing workouts help when you are feeling a little down? I know I do. Mostly though I value them for the stress relief provided. Sorry about the change in the relationship. MM does get in there good.

Lori, sorry to hear your husband's uncle isn't doing well. That's wonderful that you can go up early to be able to spend time with him. Who will watch the kids? So, what are you wearing to the wedding?

Kim, I've never seen TBL, but you are making me wonder what channel it is on... During the week tho I usually am too busy finishing up work, straightening up around, going online, and reading the newspapers to take the time to watch tv. I bet it is very motivating; however, I really didn't realize it was also so informative. I went and read your from your link, and since I'm the type if you ask my opinion, and I have one, I'll give it: I think you could lose that amount of weight. But, how will you react if you don't? If you think you can honestly deal with the possibility of not achieving your goal and be able to continue on your journey of a healthy lifestyle, then go for it. If you are like me and would get aggravated that you didn't make it, then don't. 'Cause only you know how you will respond. I know I'd respond with sour cream and onion potato chips and chocolate. Could you come up with another wonderful reward for yourself for when you do met a certain goal?

Iris, hey are you already out training for your 5K? Where are you? I made herbed artichoke chicken for you and Belinda tonight.

Cookie
 
Signing off for the night....

Hey Ladies,

Just a quick check in before turning in for the night.

Kim - which instructor teaches Ripped to the Core? Sounds like a tough/good wo. Is it as challenging as some of Cathe's ab routines? This is the area that I am still unhappy with. I know for women it is one of the last areas to drop fat, but I'm so ready to lose it already!! Well, I'm really not sure if a 5lb/week rate of weight loss is doable, but I agree with some of the other posts...go for it and see how close you come. Just listen to your body and rest when you need to. Hope your sinusitis gets better!

Great wo Lori (as always!). I swear your energy level is through the roof! Sorry to hear about DH's uncle. I hope your DH has a good visit with him on Saturday. I have had friends like that...only call when they need something. I try to LOSE those *friends* asap. This friend however, lost twins during pregnancy shortly after I got pregnant with Olivia. Pretty much throughout the whole pregnancy she avoided me...which I can understand - I suffered a miscarriage 7 years ago, but it was still difficult going through it without her...we have been bff since highschool. Anyway, because of what she went through, I made the extra effort to reach out to her even when she wasn't responsive. We've spoken, gone out a few times, but it's just not the same...SIGH!! I guess I should let the 20 years of friendship go and move on:(....

Hey Cookie - wo's always help me when I'm down or stressed. It's the one thing that can usually distract me from my problems. So far, I've done pretty good with staying on targe with my wo, but I've found that my eating has suffered a little bit...just a little more carbs (I'm pigging out on red grapes) in the evening than I would ordinarily eat. Like you, I have yet to see TBL, but since everyone seems to really enjoy it, I will definitely tune in next week. Oooohh...herbed artichoke chiken...got room for one more:eek:???

G'Night ladies.
