Good Morning Ladies

Today is a rest day.....thank god. My buns are so sore I almost can't stand it! LOL. It's the 2nd day is worse than the day after kind of doms. It was almost 8 by the time I left the gym last night. And having parents with teenagers doing an orientation was BRUTAL. Here's what I've learned.....if you want your and your kids are learning something new....DON'T do it together....LOL. I sat at my desk after they left, and there was another guy in there that I know well (who is working on his training cert!), and he walked over and just rubbed my shoulders...LOL!

I love my job....the ladies, they can't stand that all I do is work pretty much...I have a new client who said to me the other day " I think I have a guy for you"... WHAT?

Belinda- You are really rocking CTX this week. I keep forgetting about those for my 30 min. cardios! Are you onto Meso 2 after this week?

Lori- Im definitely the same way with emails sometimes.....lol. Wow you are killing the workouts lately!

Helene- lmaoooo @ your personal's ad. Funny you say that...my friend Scott called me last night (remember I line dance? or used to?)...he says "can you break ranks for one night and come have an orange juice at the bar and maybe get in a few dances? "...LOL. I'm like "noooooo"..... How is DS dealing with the tooth thing? Are they gonna put him under?

Amelia- Omggg about your DH! That would freak me out too! And buzz off with your "low 60's". LOL.

Melissa- Soooo glad you're feeling a bit better. I know it will come and go in waves, I'm sure. Glad I could make you laugh. Keep my email...lol.

Alright ladies...off to shower and a busy day at the gym...BBL

Good Morning,

I feel a lot better then I did yesterday morning...no question about that.I didn't go to bed early b/c we had friends here for dinner but when I put DS to bed I may have had a little cat nap and I got to sleep in a little longer then I normally do. I have 3 workout sessions in the a.m and one after lunch. I will probably get my own workout in later today. DH is going away for the evening for hockey so I will have tons of time to myself....maybe I will do some online shopping??

I can feel my glutes a little this morning. I am sure its coming.

Melissa** Good way to look at things. Like I said, you will feel better with time and hey...have fun has a single gal. Us old married ladies use to live through Iris's stories but she as been just plain boring lately! (snooooooooze) LOL So now we are depending on you! LOL

Belinda** My legs are good so far. I am sure later today I will be feeling it though.

I have a "funny" situation for you guys. So you all know I work at a refueling stop for private aircraft. Well, this one pilot (who comes in quit often, nice guy,not attractive at all..not that it matters) added me to facebook. It came in handy b/c he would always send me an email when there was a flight coming my way. I always had the heads up and that was the only time I would ever hear from him. I was suppose to have a flight last Saturday night and he gave me the heads up. Later that evening I was at my SIL's house and he sent me an email saying that the flight was delayed but he didn't give me any details. I logged into my account on her computer and asked how long...he didn't know. I had no internet connection on my blackberry so I asked him if he had blackberry messenger and he could keep me updated that way...and that is what he did. DUDE hasn't left me alone since! I am not joking! I try to get rid of him with comments like "have a good run on saturday if I am not talking to you"...and this was Monday I said this....but he keeps coming back. I have a very difficult time being mean to people. I find it really,really hard. So in order to get rid of this guy I think I am going to have to tell him that I am buying a Iphone or something...LOL. Isn't this bizarre? I think he is totally bored in his marriage and this is "fun" for him...although its totally innocent and he doesn't say anything out of the ordinary. I just know its not right......I am guessing adding him to bb messenger was a bad idea. I don't know how I get myself in these situations. My friend summed it up though. She says there are some people you just can't be nice to b/c they take it the wrong way and I think this is what is going on here. I think he is mistaking my niceness for something else. I told him " you do realize I am nice to everyone"? Ugh! He even called me at work on Wed to ask me a running question...yeah right. Anyway.....I think that's what I'm gonna have to do. I'd rather lie then say "leave me the "f" alone". I see him to often and it would be very uncomfortable for me.

O.k...I will probably bb later today!

Morning! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. Once again, once we got home and ate, I was whipped. Finally celebrated Chinese New Year, but wonder if the sodium or something caused me to wake up early and not fall back to sleep. Finished some reading and the week's supply of newspapers. Now waiting for some oatmeal to digest to workout. See,s like it should be noon already.
Belinda, those are good shirt cardios. Thanks for reminding me of them.
Amelia , it was -11 yesterday morning here. Now it's 11 so we're in a heat wave. My dh does dumb stuff like that to me and then doesn't understand why I get worried.
Melissa, glad you're doing better. It's not easy, and I agree with Iris it was not wasted. KPC always helps me when feeling disappointed or aggravated.
Helene, your poor little one. That sounds painful for both of you. It is so hard to drive and make turns when the snow is piled up so high on the corners. What was your theory on, I think it was, push ups and body types.
Lori, can you tell him your dh saw all the text from him and wasn't happy? I've done that even tho mine would never notice.
Deb,how's everything? You've been pretty quiet.
Trish are you lurking?
Kristin, how was your week?
Yesterday did bbw and pub leftover from day before and hiit dbl wave pyramid from today's schedule. Thinking of doing bm2 instead of of Mon, move Intensity, LL and bbw to tomorrow. Follow all that? Have recycling, groceries, two b'ball games, and a hockey(!) game tonight, so probably won't check back til tomorrow. Have fun!

Hi ladies! Last night I did disc 15, back and biceps. My bis are sore, which rarely happens, lol. I am lifting heavier than I evern thought I could. I guess there is something to this 1 RM, lol. Today’s workout will be something good, cardio and abs for sure!

Belinda- I need to invest in osme of Cathe’s older stuff. Everyone raves about 10-10-10. BTW- you are my inspiration to lift heavier. When I looked at my workout card last night, I was thinking I could not do it, but then I thought of you and your weight selections, and I gave it a try, so thanks 

Lori- I was going to suggest what Cookie said. Tell him your DH is a bit annoyed at all the “conversation” going on. BTW, coffee is a working mom’s savior as far as I am concerned, lol. I think you are amazing for doing all you do!

Amelia- I love all the rocky movies and can watch them over and over and over again (well, I could probably do without the last two in all honesty). Growing up I had a huge crush on Sylvester Stallone, lol. Still do

Melissa- Cannot believe you have never seen a Rocky movie. You have to see at least 1-4! Hope you are hanging in and that things are getting a little bit better. ITA with everything everyone has said here.

Helene- I am loving MESO 2!!!! I love that there is less DBs involved and that you work one muscle group at a time before moving on. I also love those 60 sec rest periods, lol.

Iris- LOL at your story about the family. Must have been tough. I think 2nd day DOMs that are worse than the 1st are hard to deal with, but it means you really worked it, lol. No pain, no gain! What is with people who always want to hook up singles? Did she bring a pic at least? LOL!

Cookie- What do you think about all the gloom and doom with schools and budgets. LI schools are making major cuts to staff, even Jericho, which is one of the top public schools in the nation! I am seeing some of my colleagues worried about their jobs. It is so sad.

BTW- We are trying to maybe go to Florida for April break and I have been looking at condos/homes to rent because they are cheaper (believe it or not) than hotels. I found one place, but they want to whole amount, $700 60 days before we go. Is that normal to request the money up front without us even getting in the condo first? I found it on homeaway.com. Just curious. have any of you done this before?

Hallo,

Ended up going to the gym with DH! I did iTread 1/60 min. That's it for me today!

Cookie - I was thinking the same thing this week, those workouts are as good as Cathe's newer stuff. They got my HR up, lol! Love it! Not a bad idea switching your workouts around for to fit your schedule.

Kirstin - aww...thanks! All your girls inspire me to work harder every day! Awesome, job going up with your weight with your weight workout last night! I'll bet you can find a condo, without paying upfront. Read the fine print, just in case you have to cancel if you change your mind or anyone in your family gets sick! I wouldn't pay upfront, unless I can cancel at anytime

Lori - I agree, with Cookie. Just come up with something, lol! Have fun with your workout. What did you buy? LOL!

Iris - I will start M2 on Monday, yeah! I love CTX cardio, they get your HR up! LOL, about your DOMS, your worked them good.

Waves hallo to the rest of the gang!

Where is Debbie and Trish! We miss you girls!

I will be back later!

Hey ladies!

I did CCC this morning. My legs are freakin fried!!!!!! I'm so glad it's over. Today I have a tasting for Pama which is a pomegranate liquor...and I have to decorate for Vday. Great, can't wait

Belinda, LOL yup! I am thinking about leaving the xmas stuff up until next year so I don't have to redecorate OR clean. What do u think? Nice WO today.

Iris, I can barely move I have so much DOMS in my butt! Oooooh blind date?? Heheh. Why do people always feel you need to be with someone? I was single for 2 days and my friend was already showing my pic to guys at her job!!

Lori, LMAO you are too funny! Glad you're feeling better. OMG @ the stalker! Your are so right, sometimes you can't be nice to people cuz they def take it way too far. I agree with Cookie & Kristin...blame it on the DH

Cookie, I have KPC on tab for tomorrow's WO actually! Wow your schedule is so crazy. You are def a wonder woman!!!!

Kristin, I forgot; are you doing the STS rotation with SC? I think the educational system in the US needs a complete overhaul. They want to cut all these teachers and not pay them, meanwhile admin gets paid HOW much?? But no one ever complains about them. I hear all these horror stories my mom comes home with and it's no wonder why our kids are so behind compared to the rest of the world. UGH it makes me so mad. I don't know if they would have this but have you looked at the condo place on Trip Advisor? They might have some info. Also, some places request the full amount up front if they are offering crazy deals.

I was thinking of going to Fl for spring break to see my cousin who I haven't seen since she moved there...13 years ago!!! It might be fun and I need to get away. I have to check prices!

Have a great day everyone

 

[jnka825]

Workout completed. I decided on Kickmax, bootcamp/kickbox premix plus weights and plates abs. I feel good!

Melissa- I am not following the SC/STS rotation, just doing what I feel like with the cardio part. Some days I feel I can go all out and do Intensity or CCC, and other days I just have to go with something easier like SM. I am getting good results, so it is working . I agree the system needs an overhaul. In China, their scores should not even be compared to ours. They don't educate everyone like we do here. They decide in a certain grade who is moving on and who is going to work in fields and what not. the students chosen to move on are the top students. They are the ones who compete with us in test scores. Other countries, though, like Finland, their system is ten times better than us. Teachers have 3 classes instead of 5 as we do here. They do not have hall duties (like we do), they do not have 150 students like we do, and the teachers are iiad very well, 3X more than the teachers here. That says a lot!

Belinda- I actually am finding better deals

Okay, I am off to enjoy the night with the fam.

Hi all,

Kristin: I don't know but I can give you my perspective as a foreigner (I am French, I came here my sophomore year in high school). I was literally floored by the low amount of math and science that are taught in the schools here (and I went to a better boarding school since I was alone). And our teachers in France don't get paid much. We had a lot more homework, a lot more was asked of us as kids and not much involvement from the parents. Also, no distractions or much time spent on extra activities, it was all about the studies. Our school days were also longer. The teacher salaries up here seem pretty good and I was seriously considering switching to teaching. Of course, now the time when schools are looking for teachers is kind of passed LOL. I think you live in one of the most expensive places in the country (maybe you should move upstate a few of us cathletes around here too). Anyway...... Just another perspective. Feel free to ignore my ramblings just let me know if anyone needs a chemistry teacher

Amelia: Yikes on DH and the bone and gum story yesterday.

Belinda: Your rest week is almost over. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Time to get serious again.

Cookie: So you are still crazy busy and working out like a maniac. I can't keep up with you and I am younger. LOL.

Iris: So everyone is telling you to get a life? Keep the guys' numbers that people propose and call them after the competition. LOL.

Lori: Oooh, I like that. Tell him your DH is not comfortable with it. Another full Saturday for you.

Melissa: I am still thinking of your dentist using laser. Man, I want to go to your dentist. Does he take new people form upstate? LOL. As for the mess with schools and what not..... I think the public sector in general is a mess as far as pay is concerned. Some low some high. Can't figure out why some and not others. As someone getting majorly squeezed in the private sector though it still looks preferable. Preferable but not desirable though..... My parents keep saying nobody will have it as good as their generation.

Kristin (again LOL): For FL, I wouldn't get something ahead if you are comfortable waiting. Are you going during a school break when things get booked up? We rented when we went down there a couple of times. We ended up the second time doing it a week before because the deals on last minute rentals were so good. Also, some are non refundable or at best difficult to get your money back on. If it's around Orlando, it seems there is always availability. If you already have tickets, you could always hold a hotel room which you can cancel a day or two before and see if you can find an awesome deal the week before going on an actual rental.

With all I wrote to Kristin I can't remember all I wanted to say before and to everyone else. LOL. Did Swim Max and Roller Skate Max today.

 

[bayerngirl]

Good evening,

Melissa - look at the bright side, in....in 10 month it's x-mas again, lol! You are so funny! I agree, the educational system in the US needs a complete overhaul
　
Kirstin - glad you finding better deals! Nice job on your KB wo today.

Helene - both my kids went to German schools, I switched them in 4 G to the Amercian school system. I was shocked, at how little they had to study! My DD couldn't read or write English at that time. Alesia spoke/wrote and read in German. She caught up in 3 month. with the Amercian system and she was ahaid of all the other students. I agee, teachers should get paid more money. My DH wanted to become a teacher after he got out of the Army, I talked him out big times

Good night, ladies!
