[bayerngirl]

Good morning ladies,

Thanks for all the Anniversary wishes, you guys are the best! DH and I had an awesome day yesterday, we couldn't go anywhere (we are snowed in, we got like 12') still had fun DH cooked for me, it was so delishes!

Yesterday I went to our PX (store on base) to buy an Anniversary card, they only had like 2 on the self didn't really liked any! So I was shopping for other stuff, I ran into an old friend. I told her I wanted to buy a card, she told me to make one I am not good at crafts, so she gave me some ideas. I ended up spending $50 on material rather than spending $5 on already made card I went a little crazy on Martha Stewart flower stickers and I bought a stamps/pad, stamp ink in gold, vintage card pack (50 cards, they are so pretty), clue you name it, I got it all From now on I will make my own cards, yeah I spend a lot of money at first, but it will last me for awhile! The first 2 cards I messed up, I never used a stamp before I got it all figured out now I had fun making it too! Oh, Dh couldn't believe I made it He loved it!

Do you guys do your own cards? If so where do you buy the supply? I need more ideas on making cards.

Not sure, what is on my rotation for today? I do know, I have to work a little harder today, eating was bad yesterday! I also will post my workout from yesterday and will be back to catch up on personals.

Have a great workout and day, everyone!

Morning!
Lately, I've been waking up at around 2:30,so I finally realized I should check in in the am before falling asleep trying to type at night
Belinda, I often make cards but only for family members. Enjoy the creativity in it, but find it hard to get the time to do it more. Some other ideas are: for our 25th, I wrote a list of the top 25 things I love about my dh. Just the other day, he reminded me that he can't wait to read what five more I'll add for our 30th in April. Replied after 25, we start counting back down. Funny, your mil isn't happy your German, that the one thing mine couldn't get over - that I'm not.
Helene, hope things slow down. Amazing how you're able to keep up with your workouts.
Deb, that's a lot of steps. What kind of shoes are you wearing for work?
Amelia, just keep thinking $$$$, at least that often helps pull me thru some days. I waas just reading an article that said in toxic workplaces you should go into survival mode, like with rough rapids. Here it is: if you fall out of the boat, don't fight the rapids. Just rely on your life vest and float with your feet out in front of you. That way, if you are thrown up against the rocks, you can use your feet to push off, and you'll protect your head and conserve energy. In other words, if we resist the negatives we won't have any energy to protect ourselves and survive. I prefer the magnet on my refrigerator: Ancient wisdom tells us that a postive attitude may not solve all your problems... but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Lori, are you getting enough sleep to keep up with all your workouts?
Iris, how's the CS training coming along?
Melissa, you could make an advent calendar to countdown your days in the hole.
Kristin, what wonderful memories you're creating for your children. I used to be a cardio junkie and still love the high, but lately I'm been more of a wt person.
Trish, we missed you. Hope the drama has died down.
Okay, going to get a little work done before working out. Probably will do lbb. This evening have to go to a dinner honoring my mom, so it will be a very long day.

Good morning Cookie and all who follows,

I am done with Insanity " Cardio Power Resistence" 40 min. Tough workout, I may say That guy is nuts I also did the abs from STS Total Body, OMG! That's all I can say. I will switch my workouts around a little, today was suppose to be a leg day, DH has an MRI appt this afternoon, there is no way I get to the gym today. I also need to go German grocery store and the one on base! I will do shoulder tonight when I get back. Atl least I got something done today. Oh, and the scale wasn't so nice this morning All this bad food I had yesterday. I need to buckle up again, I got my game face on I know, it's probably only water weight, but still....

Cookie - enjoy your workout!

I will be back to report my workouts!

Good Morning Ladies

Today is Legs, been wanting to do Butts and Guts, one of the premixes, so since I skipped out on Tuesday I'll do it today.
Yesterday did GS Chest/Tri's Superset Premix, but first I did the drop set pushups, because I didn't realize they were later on in that premix (or at least part of them). So what's that, a total of 90 pushups or so? I am super sore today....
Then at the gym, later in the afternoon we had a monsoon come through, no one was there, DC was napping next door rolleyes. So I hopped on the treadmill for some sprints and really went to town. But I had old shoes on (dangit), and the bra I was wearing, the underwire broke my skin in underneath. I came home quick to take a shower, and I'm sure everyone in a 10 mile radius heard me yelp in pain when the water hit it.....
And then I hopped on the scale today..... Not good!! Wtf!!! Ughhh! I havent' seen that high a number in years and years. Makes me feel "bulky" not flabby.....hopefully now that i have some muscle I can really drop some fat. Ughhhh. Ok you never hear me rant about my weight, consider this a rarity!!

Belinda- Cool at making your own cards!! People are lucky if they get store bought cards from me, much less a homemade one! So a foot of snow, huh?? Hehehe.

Cookie- So, have you decided to do Cathe's rotation? The training is going well! I have to alternate some things because I work out at home, but it'd do-able!

Trish- Ohhhh I'm so waiting to hear too.... (How bad are we???)

Helene- fmd

Kristin- Hmmm...I haven't read that about otb. Weird you said that, because the other day we all found out they're building a new otb in our same lot and tearing our building down. Either way??? AMEN.

Melissa- Wait, so the hole doesn't know you're crawling out??? Were you just going to wait until 2 weeks out or something? Why are they in the process of laying off? LOL , I'm picturing you standing in line waiting in the "lay off" line...

Deb- Dang you're on your feet a lot! Hope you're getting some stretching in!

Ok hope I didnt miss anyone! Have a great day!

Morning all!

I didn't wind up getting a workout in last night It took me over an hour and a half to get home because of idiots on the road and the bad weather; there were lights out & trees down everywhere. When I got home I just took a shower and crashed. Tonight the plan is STS Disc 22 (honestly, I don't even know what disc I am on off-hand but it's Chest/Shoulders/Triceps tonight ) and I will throw in Bootcamp cardio only premix from 4DS & abs to make up for last night.

Kristin, I'm a cardio junkie too. I feel like if I'm not sweating buckets then I'm not doing my job. Of course I know better but still, it's a hard habit to break.

Cookie, yep the choc calendars are for Advent. I'm really getting into Christmas this year! I usually love it but this time I can't wait to start decorating, baking, etc. LOL @ the hole advent calendar! I love it!! Have a great dinner tonight.

Belinda, 12' of snow good Lord!!!!! This is prob a stupid question but does Germany get a lot of snow? I can't even handle 6" let alone 12. Ok that sounds bad. Your anniversary sounded nice though! All warm and cozy, snowed in with the hubs. I'm glad you had a nice time

Iris, everyone seems to love B&G, I will have to get that one. Great job on the pushups! Don't worry about the scale; you will get that # to where it needs to be in no time. Nope, the hole "suspects" I am leaving but they have no definite clue. They said I am acting "shady" since I've been talking back, and I was out on jury duty plus I went to VA for my friggin grandfather's FUNERAL (both cases I could CLEARLY help, huh? Idiots!) I'm waiting to give 2 weeks' notice; initially, I was going to tell them a month in advance but they are such a-holes that they would prob fire me and I would be out money. This way, if they fire me after I give my notice then big deal I lose 2 weeks' pay rather than 6 weeks'.

Hello to Deb, Trish, Amelia, & Helene! Hope you all have a great day!!

This morning on the way to work I heard so many songs from the Cathe RT last summer. Did I hear right that they might not do one in Jersey next year, or am I making that up? I can't wait for the next RT!!!!!

Evening ladies,

It's been so hard getting to the check in...haven't even been able to lurk. I know it was bad of me to post about drama and run away and leave you in suspense! Tsk, tsk!

Well, we had a great time in Georgia - my mom enjoyed the girls and we got to work out a bit. I'm not sure if I mentioned that DSD was staying here because she had to work. Before we left DH gave her strict instructions about what was "allowed" while we were away. At the top of the list was that she could not drive my car. Well.....(I bet you can guess what comes next) when we were about 2 hours from home DH and I get a txt from DSD saying that she had to tell us something before we got home. She took my car into NYC for a concert. When it was time to leave she was too drunk to drive so she let a *friend* drive my car home...HELLO, HE HAD NO LICENSE!!! He got pulled over on the NJ Turnpike for swerving over the lines and the state police impounded my car. As if that wasn't bad enough, when we got home we found out she did something to DH's car as well -- it won't move. Needless to say, DH was FURIOUS!! This was the last straw for him. She is the sweetest girl but just does not have good judgement. So, she has moved in with a friend (at the urging of DH!) and I am scrambling to find a sitter who can care for the girls in the morning and drop them off at school (remember I just changed my schedule at work). The whole thing has had me stressed out and I don't deal well with stress (I was in the ER last night for a tension headache). Anyways, just wanted to catch you guys up on my drama. Thankfully, we are headed to Aruba in 2 weeks (sans DSD). I have had great workouts every day since we got back except this morning (got in too late from ER). Still have some Thanksgiving damage to burn off.

Will try to catch up with personals tomorrow.
