Good Morning!

I could have used a little more sleep...but oh well. I shouldn't have stayed up so late watching the biggest loser.

I got my run in last night I was really debating not doing it but I did it and its water under the bridge now I did Cc# 3&4. In 60 mins I ran 7 miles. It was a good workout and Im glad I did it cause I ate to much yesterday

Todays workout is gonna be a run outside with my running partner. Not sure how far we are going.

Im going to check yesterdays thread and then i will return!

Trish** Thats to funny about your DD! LOL Most people are like that. Its hard to get into the routine of working out but once you are there...there is no stopping I thought after I had DS I would have trouble getting back into it but I was back at it in no time. I guess I missed it so much.
I did MM on Mon along with Insanity and a run Thats where all the DOMS came from. I still feel it in my legs a tad.

Why is it that kids never listen to you? DD started hanging out with a girl this summer who wore a lot of makeup. So every morning DD comes downstairs, ready for school, her face is orange and her neck is white and she won't listen to me It doesn't look good at all! But we all know that. Then again I think i went around with bangs 10 feet off the top of my head. Hairspray could barely keep it in place. Yesterday when she came home I said, " you still have that globb of foundation on your face" She wanted to know why I didn't tell her and I told her that I was tired of telling her.. So when she came downstairs today I told her for the last time and I told her that I was telling her for the last time. I asked her why she was wearing so much to begin with and that her face and neck were two different colors. She shruged her shoulders and continued on. She went upstairs,Im not sure if she wiped some of it off or not. She wears all over her face what I wear to cover things up.She as invisible foundation...but no...she can't wear something that matches her skin tone.

K...my rant is over with bbl!

Good Morning Ladies.

Checking in with PUB this morning....and on Week 3/Day 3 of the pushup challenge. Today starts my looonngg week...starting off with double shifts today and tomorrow (and Sunday) .

Lori- Breast cancer is what she has......that spread to the bones. (hence the pain with chemo.....they did say if she had pain, it was working) That's funny about the make-up. How old is your daughter again? She won't start listening until she's about 22...possibly 23...lol

Trish- Sorry your daughter didn't stick to pilates long....again, maybe at 22, possibly 23 ..... lol How you feeling today after your workout yesterday?

Deb- Do you work for Macy's?? I can't believe that they are setting up for Christmas already!! That's nuts. Here in Albany, there are two Macy's, and there are no 2 Macy's closer to each other in the entire country....( they're a few miles apart). Sorry, I'm the queen of useless knowledge....lol

Trish** Did you mother have her breast removed? My MIL had it in one breast, had it removed,treatments and now as a brand new boob! They caught it before it spread though. I hope your mother will be o.k!!!

Im getting ready to go for a run! BBL!

Good Morning

Today is suppose to be a 45min Upperbody workout...but i may do a full body...not sure yet. The schools are still closed,ugh, i was really hoping to get the regular routine back agian today.

Ive GOT to quit peeking at the scale...its up one lb from my last WI and its starting to get on my nerves(i looked at it yesterday too) Im going to try and stay off of it until saturday morning...wish me luck

Lori-So you decided on CC 3 & 4 last night...nice! Funny about your DD,i can remember doing the same thing. And, like your DD...i would NEVER listen to my mom. Ive still got about 6yrs(hopefully) before my DD starts all that girly stuff.

Iris-WTG on PUB & your pushup challenge! I hope your dble shifts go by quickly.

Trish- How are the doms today? Are you walking like a duck? My DH is the same as your DD...he has good idea's about working out...but im not sure he has thought it all the way through,LOL. He will start working out and last about three days I told him on days he doesn't feel like it,to get dressed and start it anyway,he will feel better once he's done. He doesn't even try...

Good morning girls,

I'm going to the gym to spin. I'll be back later with personals.

Have a great day and workouts

 

[stepitup]

Morning ladies,

Well, I only have DOMs in my tris...a little disappointed, but even though I don't have much DOMs, it still felt like a good wo Today's wo will be legs & abs with my co-worker. We have the same level of fitness obsession so it's a good match. He was a navy seal and is in awesome shape and has a lot of good tips to share. Last week he was impressed with the Cathe low-end pulse squats I was doing. I keep telling him Cathe could teach him a thing or two

Lori - That's great you got your run in last night! I'm hoping to get on the elliptical tonight. I'll keep telling myself if Lori can do it, so can you! I was the same way following DD#2. I had just found Cathe about 3 months before getting preggers and was devastated (happy, but sad I wouldn't be able to really do tough wos). I got back on the step two weeks post-delivery! You should take a pic of DD and show it to her. This way she can see what you're talking about and you won't have to say a word Oh, and yes, my MIL did have one breast removed. She's 70YO and is going for the reconstruction. I told her if it were me, I wouldn't bother, but maybe I would feel different if it actually were me.

Iris - So, how's the push up challenge going? What number did you start with and what are you up to now? Not much DOMs for me, but I'm hoping to get my legs good today. Kick a$$ with PUB today

Amelia - I thought about getting on the scale yesterday and today but didn't. I was so disappointed on Sat (only lost .2lbs) that I don't want to be again...at least not yet But now I'm feeling less concerned about my numbers, my clothes are fitting great and I am pretty close to the size I was last winter. Don't be surprised if DD gets into make up sooner than you think. For my 7YO's dance performance she gets to wear makeup and she just can't wait to get it on! It's only toy make up and of course it looks so funny on, but I think she would want to put it on every day if she could. I've caught her a few times playing with it. I'm attaching some pics of the little diva getting dolled up and following the show.

Deb - Enjoy your spin class!

Belinda - Hope you're resting your back. Your family can take care of the house while you harass the insurance company

Cookie & Helene - What do you ladies have cooking today?

[helened]

Hello all,

I am going to be horrible again and hopefully post better personals later.
Just wanted to drop by and say hi. Nice workouts everybody!

Belinda: Hope you are feeling OK and that you can take care of all the issues with the house. This cannot be helping your back at all!

Amelia: Saw your pics of the water. Glad it's getting better now. I would have been super nervous as well.

Iris: Sorry to read the details about your DM's cancer. It's good that you can bake for her. Did it help? Good luck with your crazy schedule this week. I might be super busy, but I don't have your worries to deal with. Keep taking good care of your mom but also of yourself! My DM came this weekend and had skin cancer removed from her hand. Quite a bit of it too cause they didn't catch it for years (dermatologist kept saying it was a flat wart). She finally went to a specialist that did pathology and caught it. Now her hand is all bandaged up and she has a splint since she's not supposed to move it. She should be fine when this all heals up since there's no reason to think that it spread.

Trish: Love Love Love the pics. So cute! LOL on the what's cooking today. I had no food in the fridge at work and it turns out no cash in my wallet. Rang up a co-worker who had some lean cuisine in the freezer. She was nice enough to let me have one. LOL on DD and pilates. FYI, got a spot for DD at DS' daycare. So I'll be going to one stop after vaca!!!

Lori: Insane about DH's coworker. It sucks when people do stuff like that. Happy running, working, insaning and all that jazz!

Deb: I don't want to hear about Xmas decoration yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad enough the halloween stuff is out and it's not even October yet.

Hi to anybody I missed!

Did 4DS Kickbox CardioBlast premix yesterday morning. Love that one it has the kickbox and the bootcamp in one nice cardio wo. Ilaria Bodystrikes this morning. I'll be picking up STS meso 2 when I come back. I missed doing the last week of meso 1 but that's it. Friday we'll be in Orlando. Can't come soon enough. I'm hoping to go to the Y for a TM run of 30mns tonight, to counter a bit of the two donuts I had this morning.........

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls.

I don't think I reported my workout..did I? Today was another rat race but I do it to myself. I get all frazzled all the time.

I took DS to walmart, then we had to go get balloons cause he obsessed with balloons, so he picks out 3 balloons, we get home and Im watching my 2 neices, trying to get supper, have to get to work early, a load of laundry needs to be folded, the 6 yr old is trying to get one of DS's balloons b/c he as 3 and they have none. She said "we should all have one" and Im thinking, she is probably a little bit right but its not like I went and got the stupid balloons and didn't hand them out to everyone. He had the balloons before they even showed up. So in my mind its the same thing as us going to their house and DS taking whatever they were playing with right? And whenever she tried to take a balloon he would cry.
And it wasn't even so much about everything I HAD to do. It was more about the noise that was going on in the background. Music was on bust, DS was crying and the 2 girls were playing very loudly. And who else received stupid 1-800 #'s every single f***ing evening???? It drives me insane. You pick up and say hello and no one is there...b/c they are waiting for you to say hello twice..which I don't, I hang up on them!

O.k..so I did 12 kms run with my running partner. I was wiped b/c of last nights run so I made her take the stroller 1/2 way Im such a good friend!

Trish** Oops....That question was directed towards Iris but how weird that you had the answer for me. If you didn't know what I was talking about you would have been WTH is this girl talking about? I thought about taking a pic of DD today to show her what she looked like...Im not sure if I would get through to her or not

Helene** How long of a flight do you have ahead of you and where are you staying? I actually drove when I was in FL. I didn't tell my mom until I got home. She was on a cruise and it would have ruined it for her

Ameila** Yeah, I probably didn't look to cute when I was younger either. Im sure she thinks the same way. She does listen to a certain extent...but its a very short extent What workout did you decide to do?

Deb** Hope you have a good workout!

O.k I may bbl...and I may not. I am at work. Going to catch up on Y&R for the first time this week!

Lori

 

[DebD]

Hi girls,

I finally getting back here. I would like to get either a short run on the TM done at least for the next 3 weeks before vacation

Belinda - I hope things are getting easier for you.

Lori - I wonder if you could take her to a make-up counter and see if they would do a free makeover for her (age appropriate). I wish your workouts could count towards mine

Iris - I hope your Mom is feeling better today. Have fun with PUB.

Amelia - Has the water level gone down yet? Don't peek at the scale

Trish - At that age they don't need to exercise

Helene - When do you leave on vacation?

Cookie - Where are you??

 

[Cookie57]

'Evening!
Belinda, hope things are okay with the house, cleaning, dealing with insurance, and your back. Please take care of yourself. It must be so stressful.
Lori, I say take photos of her so you can blackmail her with them in a few more years! Based on my kids, I haven't a clue when to tell you she'll start listening. Mine certainly don't. Sometimes they call for advice, but it seems like they've already made up their mind and I'm to confirm their excellent opinion.
Amelia, those water levels are scary. Glad you and your family are okay. Don't you get aggravated when your routine gets changed around - I do.
Deb, I'm here! Yesterday got home late and then a friend came over for me to assist with a presentation she's giving. Can't even start to think of Christmas already. Didn't know all Macy's have the same decorations, but it make sense. When do you have to start doing your set ups? Did you get the elipitical or a run in? Bet you're looking forward to the vac with your DH. It sounds wonderful - you deserve it. Lauramax gave me some advice on my hair, so I've been experimenting with a variety of different products to see what works best. A woman at work mentioned that my hair is looking not as wild and more curly, so I told her about Laura and her advice. She then sat down and wrote me out her morning hair routine. So, hopefully, if nothing else, my hair will look better when next we met. Of course, that means, I'd have to devote time to do the routine. You know, I've always been rather the wash-and-go no bother hair person - except for color!
Iris, I didn't know that fact about the two Macy's! My DH calls me the Repository of Useful Facts! Wait til I tell him that. Guess it's good your mom is in pain - loved your brownie story. Oh, just told him. He didn't know either. Thanks, I like knowing more than he does - at least on some things - the important things. Did you get doms from PUB? I always do.
Trish, your DD is gorgeous! Oh, she looks so beautiful. But, I think she looks like she's gonna have expensive taste in makeup - more Lancome and NARS than CoverGirl. Bet your friend is impressed with Cathe. Think my DH is rather intimidated. He keeps saying he's gonna start sts and doesn't. Of course, it doesn't help that I started counting the number of pushups listed on one of the workout sheets. It's so annoying when he does his NordicTrak when I'm doing my wo. 'Cause afterwards he'll comment on it - she whipped you good, where does she think these things up, etc. I told him if he was doing the wo, he would be so busy just surviving he wouldn't have time to think of comments. So no wonder he won't try her.
Helene, hope you use your sunscreen! One of my brothers has had a few bouts of skin cancer, and it hasn't been pretty. Is your DM going with you on vacation? Glad your friend helped you out with lunch.
Thanks for all your well wishes on my shoulder - it worked! Pleased to report it is much better. Think doing kettlebells a few weeks ago was not a good idea. Just have to admit that I'm starting to have some limitations. Did All Systems Go by Mindy Mylrea this morning, and yesterday was KPC. Forgot how much I love KPC. After both it took a while for me to cool down enough for a shower. I'm gonna have to start getting up even earlier! Lately I've been buying extrabittersweet chocolate (88%) to have a portion as a snack. What a dumb idea! I eat the whole thing every time. Once I'm done with this stash, I don't think I should get any more 'cause obviously it is another thing with which I have no willpower. Sleep well.
