Good morning,

Friday is RT sign up:D Who is going to the RT this year?

I will do cardio today. DH wants to go to the gym tonight:eek: I may double up today, eat way to much yesterday:eek:

Have a wonderful day and workout, everyone! BBL!
 
Morning! Didn't get home til 9:45 last night, then dinner, clean up, newspapers and zonk.
Belinda, you motivated me also with those wts. I'm up to do my bbw w/ the 20 lb vest.
Amelia, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you on the job. Walking distance - I'm so envious.
Lori, you might only workout for an hour?!!! Now that's news.
Trish, glad to hear from you. Just was worried about you. How are your ddaughters?
Iris, I bet that was so motivating having someone who could challenge and keep up with you (well, at least to an extent). Are you getting enough sleep?
Helene, how did your ds do? Hope he isn't in a lot of pain. I think this crazy weather is causing many people to feel out of sorts.
Deb, hope all is okay. Thinking of you.
Melissa, my dh and I were friends for a while before we ever started dating, so VD never seemed to be a big deal. He gives me dark choc and always says he knows I probably won't eat it (but he's wrong). This year I got him a German Shepherd bobble head dog with a name tag engraved with the name he claims he would name it, cause in reality he doesn't want another dog. He loved it.
Kristin, are you missing the pushups with meso 2. I really disliked them in 1. Glad you found a good deal for April.
Okay, drank my coffee so off to workout.

Good Morning Ladies!

Ok so there IS a possible new "D"....yes from the gym...and omg he's younger than me. He's 28 :confused: :confused: . So there's these two girls that are members there that workout, and they are both loved and hated because they are so loud, but they are so funny!!! It's there mission in life to hook me up....and "DB" is pretty hot, AND he's single!! I always talk to DB, and last night was interesting because I stayed to work out ( I honestly didn't think he would be there for some reason), and then the two loud girls showed up (who LOVE DB), and me, and another couple...LOL. So we are running next to each other but I'm almost done. (When he walked in, he says "ohhhh...there IS this side to you, I was starting to wonder") WHO SAYS THAT?? lmao. So now I"m halfway through my Chest/Back routine, getting some weights and the BB set up, and he's stretching, he says "If Im not mistaken, isn't it Valentines Day?"...I'm like " It is"...he says " What are you doing here?", I said "Celebrating...what are you doing here?"...he says "Same thing"..................GREAT. So on it went, and it ended up just being the four of us in there by the end of the night...lol. I walked by him at one point to grab my water , and he winked at me.....tell me, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I have no idea.....:( And it doesnt' MATTER, I will not lose focus, I'm too damn close to reaching every goal I thought I couldn't.....wrong time for a real "D" to show up.

So, as it turns out, I like working out at the gym!! So today, I will do cardio here, and legs tonight after an orientation I have. :)

Happy Lori???? LOL

Belinda- I'm glad you had a wonderful day with your DH! I love Greek food. :)

Kristin- I had some issues with weight selection too. And probably a lot to do with it, is that maybe those muscles weren't fatigued when I did 1 RM testing, but by the time you get to certain exercises on the disc, muscles are starting to fail...lol.

Cookie- Ok you sound like my coach...LOL. Yes I'm getting enough rest...7-8 hours, can you believe?? :eek: How about you???

Amelia- Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!! ;)

Lori- How'd training go with the new girl?

Trish- Hey girl, way to fess up!! :p Uhh...DG...lets see. Didn't even call me on Valentine's Day....what a screwball...whatever...LOL.

Helene- How did it go ????? How's he doing??? The competition is in Brattleboro, VT. 50 Main Street. Does that help?? Omg I can't wait....I just got my shoes in yesterday!!!

Melissa- How'd your tasting go?? What did you taste? I want to taste! lol

Ok ladies...have a wonderful day!
 
Hey girls, today will be burn circuit 2 but first a dog walk.

Iris-I think I hear the days of our lives theme song again;):p Sounds like you have a new admirer...You gonna hook up with him?:p;) ( just sticking my nose in,LOL)

A great big HELLO to everyone. Im off to start my workout then its laundry max then i will get ready for the 'paper work' that the lady told me to come in for...im guessing thats a good thing? LOL
 
Morning ladies,

Great wo today. I did 40 mins of pilates with the ball + 60 mins of elliptical (iclimb8 + iclimb9). Burned 845 cals. V-Day is pretty much a snore at our house. DH took the girls and I out for dinner on Saturday and then last night we both ended up buying sweets for the family - Crumbs red velvet cupcakes + red velvet cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (I didn't know he was buying and he didn't know I was buying:eek:). I'm happy to report that I didn't taste one bite;)

Belinda - DH is so sweet and I bet that food was yummy! I haven't been out for good greek food in a while. Btw, when is your move date?

Iris - Mmmmmm, loving this new D already;) I think that wink definitely means SOMETHING!! New romance is so exciting, all the flirting and stuff:eek:. Enjoy your wo today!

Lori - I struggle with trying to keep all the balls in the air and usually have to drop one every now and again, but I'm back, and I've put down another ball....studying for the ACE. I made it through chapter 3 (the least interesting=hardest for me), but I need a break from it. Hope the training goes smoothly.

Kristin - Nice wo yesterday! Very smart of you to lower your weight. The very first time I did STS, I figured the 1RMs "knew best" and I didn't lower my weight. Ended up hurting my shoulder and going for therapy for a few months.

Cookie - Love the 'zonk' last night! I zonked out at 9:30:). The girls are doing well...knock on wood...neither has had a cold all season. Do you still have a houseguest?

Amelia - I'm sure all will go well today:) Enjoy your wo!

Helene - How'd things go with DS yesterday? Did the tooth fairy cheer him up?

Off to do some work. Have a great day ladies!

Oh, before I forget....who is signing up for RT in NJ? I'm still on the fence, mainly because I think I might end up sitting out a lot of stuff.

Ok. Toodles.
 
Hi ladies!

I decided on a rest day today. I also got back my bio exam from last week...99% baby YEAH!!!! I am shocked I did that well...I was expecting in the 80s. Let's hope this keeps up!

Helene, yesterday it was over 50 degrees by me!!! :D I think 54 degrees to be exact. Today is not so pretty, as it's somewhere in the 30s. But hey that is better than the teens! Hahaha we are so on the same wavelength...RS was on my schedule for today too....but I didn't do it :eek: I will save it for Thursday.

Trish, what rotation are you doing? We missed you!! Great job on the WO today and not touching the desserts! I would be all over that haha. I LOVE Crumbs' stuff! Not everyone does all the activities on the RT so...I think you should come anyway!

Amelia, that is GREAT news about the job!!!! I hope you get it! And you can't go wrong with it being walking distance from your house.

Lori, how do you get the energy for your WOs??? I am dead after an hour! I'm lucky if I get abs in after an hour of weights.

Belinda, glad to hear you had a nice Vday! Disc 4 was fun. My shoulders and chest are on fire today. I REALLY hope I can get a sport on the RT!! I have off from class Fri so my butt will be parked in front of the computer that afternoon. Are you gonna come too??

Cookie, that is such a thoughtful gift! I'm glad you enjoyed your VDay too! Even when I wasn't single, VDay was never a big deal for me. My bfs thought I was weird cuz I always said just get me a card and we will go to dinner, no gifts (unless they wanted to get me chocolate ;) ). Are you gonna try to get a spot on the RT this summer?

Iris, you COUGAR!! Hahaha j/k;) Oooooh he likes you! Keep the communication open and then when you're done with everything, pounce on that man! Hmmmm I wonder why you like working out at the gym ;);););) The tasting went well! I was determined to sell out of the store's stock but I fell short by 1 bottle haha. We did Pama & champagne again. It is deeeelicous!

Kristin, my 1RM was all over the place too: too heavy on some and not heavy enough on others. I have been tracking my stats on the WO manager this time and that seem to be helping cuz it adjusts the weights for future discs.

Have a good one!
 
Hi girls,

It was a nice surprise to see that RT sign up is Friday . . . now fingers crossed we all get in;) My FIL is home:) Tons of problems with my older DS, it would be a book if I even explained what I went through the last 10 days, lots of tears shed. What it comes down to is we sent him to a rehab in Nashville, TN if this doesn't work last time I am helping him & I must stick by those words!!

I did manage to get my workouts in, Meso 1 completed (jump up & down) and Cookie your right, happy to be done with those push-ups. This is my active rest week & took a Cardio barre class at the gym today:)

Wish you guys were closer because I have lots of chocolate covered strawberries to share from my valentine:) They are healthy because there are fruit:p

Belinda - Will you sign up for the RT since you'll be back?

Amelia - Congrats on the job:):):)

Cookie - A couple of times this week I fell asleep before 10PM and was still tired. Are you going to sign up for the RT?

Iris - The new "D" sounds promising maybe you could hold him off until after the show:confused: What will you do for tanning for the show?

Trish - So you've been MIA too:) I always wanted to go to a Crumb's bakery, looks like you burned off all of those calories today.

Melissa - Kudos on the bio grade! Are you getting a lot of demo work?

Kristin - I'm using my original 1RM's as a guideline but changing up where I need to, some were just right and others way off:confused:

Helene - I'm guessing from some of the posts the toothfairy made a visit . . . hopefully she remembered sometimes at my house we had to slip it in the morning :)

Lori - Hopefully your clients are hanging in there, I think now that the temps are getting warmer people will get nervous and start going to the gym or PT's.

Enjoy the evening:)

Evening!

Quick check-in. Disc4 and 30/30 this morning. That was a nice combo actually. Still hate those push ups, and I think they aggravate my wrists so I am now doing them with DB when possible.

Thanks everyone. DS is doing good though he had a couple of hours yesterday where he was a bit sad. But now it's all good. And yes, the toothfairy did come for a visit. :)

So I guess I'll try and sign up for the RT!

See you all in the morning!
 
Hi Girls,

Todays workout was just 20 mins on TM, 10 mins on the bike and B&G's abs. I am running out of ab dvds...LOL;). I have been working my abs alot b/c they look better when I do. CM 2 use to give me DOMS in the abs but not anymore.

Boring day at work. We had another storm today so all I really did was watch the snow come down. I was freezing to b/c the way the wind was blowing. It as blowing towards the windows of the building and it really makes the place chilly.

Belinda** Are you doing the RT this year?? Someday I am really hoping to go. I know my sister would want to go as well.

Cookie** Gotta love that morning coffee! Only an hour to workout sucks...big time! LOL

Iris** A new D. Is this b/c I called you boring the other day??;) You didn't like that Melissa was gonna have our full attention so you had to do something:eek: Well, I look forward to your new stories! LOL

Ameila** Any word on the job?

Helene** Glad to hear DS is feeling better! Poor guy!

Trish** Some of this stuff isn't interesting at all but important to learn, none the less. I am reading about the endocrine system now. Glad its only a few pages long. Good job on staying away from the sweets yesterday. I can't say I did the same.

Melissa** Awesome job on your exam! You must be excited! Sometimes I wonder where I get the energy to do it all. I am alot like my mother when it comes to that stuff...go,go,go till I drop.

Deb** Sorry to hear you are going through this again with DS. What's his gf saying about it all? Is she any better then him?? I really hope he gets the help he needs this time!!!

O.k..tomorrows workout will def be a UB and cardio one!:) Looking forward to lifting some weights!

Lori:)
 
Back again,
Deb, my heart is with you. It is so hard, and they truly do struggle with it. As a parent, it is heartbreaking. Glad to hear your fil is doing better.
Iris, another D! We're all excited, in case you missed it! This guy sounds good. Glad you're getting enough sleep. I'm wondering if this rotation is affecting mine.
Amelia, keeping my fingers still crossed for you. Paperwork sounds promising - can't believe I just wrote that considering how much I complain about it.
Helene, glad your ds is doing okay. By the time the younger ones came along, we often forgot about the tooth fairy for a few days. The kids used to say it took the TF longer to get the news and travel out here. What's the burn circuit?
Trish, glad you're back. As women, we have too many things going on. I honestly don't think most men could handle, multitask, whatever, as much as we do. Congrats on getting done as much as you do!
Belinda, did you have fun celebrating last night?
Melissa, great job on your test. Don't really remember chem in college, but definitely loved physics. Felt I learned so much about real life matters in it.
Kristin, hope you had a great day.
Okay, off to do some paperwork, not Amelia's type.
Cookie
 
Good evening,

I also walked my dogs in the freezing cold:confused: I thought my hand would fall off:mad:

DH wants me to go to the RT, I'm still on the fence. It's a lot of money, for a weekend!

Cookie - wow, you had a long night! What workout did you do today? Hope you had a blast!

Iris - a new D? I am happy for you.

Amelia - did you like burn circuit? Any news about the job?

Trish - awesome job, with your pilates/elliptical workout today. Which pilate did you do? Glad you had a nice v-day.

Melissa - congrats on your bio exam! You are rocking it, girl!

Debbie - glad to hear your FIL is doing better! So sorry, aobut your son (((HUGS))) Somethimes kids put us though a lot. My heart goes out for you! Enjoy your recovery week. will you sign up for the RT?

Helene - glad your DS is doing better! Kids recover much faster than we do, lol. You did 2 workouts in one day, you go girl!

Lori - maybe you need to buy more DVD's, lol! You must have abs of steel. Wouldn't it be cool, we all go to the RT?

Good night, girls! Awesome job today!
