Good Morning!

I went to bed at a sensible time last night so I feel rested. My 6:30 is still a little sick, so I am going to work in her spot and then I have a 7:30 My workout will be shorter though and I did touch every body part yesterday with High Reps....so it will just be a run or a small run and one of the HIIT.

Belinda** DS is good. He wasn't to bad at all. I just took advantage of it and I knew that the sitter or the preschool wouldn't want him around like that, even if it was just a touch of a bug! It was nice to stay home with him and have nothing to do. It was a hectic weekend and I felt like I didn't get much downtime. Yesterday made up for that.

I started reading my book last night. Geez...496 pages don't seem like much but when the book is in fine print and its the size of a telephone book...then that is pretty big! I just have to find the trick to reading it and not getting sleepy! I wish I had paid more attention in boiology and health class right about now! Instead (apparently) I was to busy writing letters to my boyfriend! Ha! That was funny!

I will bbl to catch up!

Lori

I woke up way early to get a workout in before class but we don't have heat or hot water!!!!!!! So no workout for me until they fix it. I can't bear the thought of a cold shower. I'm also waiting to see if they will close school or not because the roads are pretty bad up here and there's a winter storm warning in effect until tomorrow morning! I need a drink already

Not sure if I will do cardio or weights today???

Kristin, those Elmo pushups are no joke!! Be safe going in/coming home from work today. We are getting hit with ice and snow; the snow is bad enough but the ice is the scary part.

Belinda, I really hope your DH and Browler are ok and feel better soon!! Have fun with STS!

Lori, what book are you using again?

I will BBL to report my workout. Have a great day!!

Good Morning Ladies

Dang I sletp until 7 a.m.! I haven't slept in this late in ages...... But I decided I'm not going into work today.... My 11:00 is in the hospital with Pneumonia!!! Omg! I feel horrible for her. If it weren't such crappy weather, I'd go visit, she's right down the street from the gym. I had a 1:00 but I canceled that yesterday....it was just a free consultation. I don't mind doing them.....it's just that every member gets one and I can get backed up with that sometimes......

So the results of the bloodwork came back awesome. My doc's like "what's your problem". She asked if I would be her trainer....LOL So...STRESS is the reason I'm holdign onto weight... And trust me when I say, it's not going anywhere. So my doc pretty much gave me an Rx for more yoga/meditation....so Helene, love ya, but forget Zumba, lets go to Yoga to save my life here...lol.

Like Melissa said...if it weren't for the damn ice, I'd prolly go into work.

Ohhhh...and today is Legs , more Legs, and some cardio.....hopefully I can have a grueling workout.

Belinda- I did 4DS Chest/Back yesterday, and I am having DOMS today! Enjoy your cardio day!

Lori- Funny how we refer to our clients as times...LOL. Hahaha @ 496 pages! You write that many love letters in school?? lol How's your DS feeling? I ask myself sometimes too during a workout "damn is this what my clients feel like?"...LOL

Melissa- How does it feel to be free of the hole??? I'm going through some pretty tough times right now, but all I gotta do is think back to the dump.....ya know? And no...this is awful, but you'll never see me at a regular RT.... Once you go Daytona, you never go back....lol

Kristin- Woo hoo!! @ being halfway through Meso 1 I remember seeing some big changes in my arms around week 3ish/4ish...from all those dang push ups I think! lol

Cookie- So how's the paperwork coming?? Sorry you got stuck with that s**t.... What kb workout did you end up doing? I usually get up anywhere from 4:30 to 5:30 depending on what's going on at the gym that day.

Hello to everyone that follows...BBL

 

[stepitup]

Morning ladies,

Been MIA for a couple of days. No real excuse...just sitting at home being lazy. Didn't even bother to lurk. Oh and I just recently got into Brothers & Sisters and started watching Season 1 on Saturday....I'm up to season 10!! So you know what I've been doing with my time

Belinda - I did STS TB for the first time yesterday....OMG, that is one tough wo!! I always buy Cathe's new stuff thinking, "No problem. I got this!" and out of the blue she comes up with something that knocks my socks off. I don't know if I will ever do the rotation that she wrote up on fb!

Melissa - Is today your first day of school?? I have to read back and see how all of your birthday/leaving-the-hole partying went

Iris - So glad the doc had good news for you! LOL @ her wanting you to train her. That's Awesome!! I was going to ask who's headed to glassboro..I guess we can count you out Still haven't made an RT..only the Eggland thing in NYC. I'm trying to talk myself into it, but we'll see...

Ok, off to read what y'all were up to over the weekend. BBL

 

[stepitup]

P.S. My wo today was 35 mins of pilates + iClimb16 (45 mins) + Stretchmax on the ball.

 

[bayerngirl]

I just finished Hiit 40/20! BBL!

 

[DebD]

Hi,

Ugh, this damn ice I went to the gym this morning and it was terrible. I did a cardio barre class & STS M1D2 (I finally started the STS rotation!). My FIL is doing better they removed the breathing & feeding tubes this afternoon and we're going to visit him soon.

I really want to go to the R/T but so afraid of not getting in and being disappointed. I hope all of you try too!

Belinda - Sending healing vibes for DH & Browler.

Iris - Happy to hear your blood work is good Too funny about telling Helene to ditch the Zumba class (I did hear that it's good for your brain and prevents alzheimer's disease).

Lori - I hope DS feels better. How is he when your training clients? I remember he would sometimes throw things at you when you worked out.

Melissa - Hoping you have heat & hot water now . . . as if this ice storm isn't enough to deal with.

Trish - Watching almost 10 seasons in 2 days, I'm impressed. How was the snow/ice by you? and yes you should try for the R/T.

Kristin - Can't imagine you having school today. Closed here, even the DS's college.

Helene - Did you have a snow/ice day today? Did you get to the gym on lunch?

Cookie - So this is weird the night before Cathe made the R/T announcement I dreamed I was at the R/T looking all over for you not knowing if you got in

Amelia - How are you? Is the snow all gone?

Heidi - Hi

Have a great night

 

[dr.mel_PT]

Soooo, no official workout for me since I just spent the last hour & 1/2 shoveling ice off my mile-long driveway!!! I'm soaked and freeeezing, waiting for the shower to be free. Hey at least we have hot water now

Iris, glad to hear your blood work came out ok! It feels GREAT to be out of the hole!!!! I have never felt free-er lol! Awww, come on pretty pretty please come to the RT?!?!? I will peer pressure you like the best of them, damnit!

Trish, lol @ the B&S marathon. When I first got into Dexter, I watched the first 2 seasons in 2 days. Still can't touch your 10 seasons though Today was SUPPOSED to be my 1st day of class but it was canceled due to the weather. I was kinda bummed...how sad is that? Oh and you are coming to the RT too, I have decided

Belinda, great job on HIIT! I dread 40/20!

Deb, I'm so happy your FIL is doing better. I know what you mean about the RT but I'm gonna try anyway. I had so much fun last year!

 

[jnka825]

hi all! Had a horrible day at work. The roads were super icy and it was a scary ride in. Then I had two students today in separate classes that really got under my skin. One turned in his essay three days late and it was incomplete. He was literally in the middle of his essay "Third," and then just stopped. When I pointed this out to him, he said he didn't have time to finish it and he didn't know what to write. When I pointed out that he should be following his prewriting organizer, he said just grade that. I said it was incomplete, he said okay. Call his house, some strange dude answers, pretends to take a message and hangs up. Ugh. Then another student got a 95 on a quiz, but did not answer the bonus question correctly. He was close, but it was incorrect and I do not give credit for "close" (on a bonus especially). He nagged me about it for five minutes. Then asked for a pass to his next class with this attitude. I am beat from aggravation. that first boy with the essay really burned me.

Anyways, I am definitely doing cardio tonight. Thinking step because my shoulders are fried from yesterday and I don't want to use them in kickboxing!

Melissa- Glad you have hot water again! Cold shower would be impossible, especially in the winter.

Deb- i should have calle din sick, lol.

Trish- nice workout!

Iris- I am starting to see a difference in my arms too. Yesterday I was able to do the shoulder presses with 15 # no problem. That is until the alternating ones came up, my arms gave way after 12 reps. Still it is an improvement.

Lori- close to 500 pages of bio. . . not my cup of tea. You'll get through it.

Belinda- nice job on Hiit today!

I'll be back later to report my workout!

Kristin

 

[helened]

Evening all,

Belinda: You are wise to chose the org STS rotation. Now you can take it *easy* LOL. Nice workout. I didn't know DH hurt himself and that Bowler had some masses that needed taking care of I hope they both feel good soon.

Lori: 500 pages of what? What the heck kind of training are you taking?! LOL about DS throwing things at you when you worked out in the past. Can't believe he is 4 already!

Trish: Are you thinking of going to the RT as well? I'd love to go but without Iris? LOL.

Iris: Whaaaat! No Zumba. Oh come on! So you're not pregnant, you don't have menopause yet, but it's never too early to prevent alzeimer's!

Debbie: Glad FIL is doing better. The weather up here is just nasty!

Melissa: Did BM2 this morning. I had forgotten how much that workout was draining. And tomorrow is Imax 3. This week is going to kill me. So why is the RT so cool. Iris says it's less fun because it is so clicky and you get bused to the gym. But I'd love to go and meet my click: The commit to get fit and lean crew. Hmmmmmm wondering if I could drag Iris with me.

Kristin: LOL, I'd forgotten (very conveniently) about the elmo pushups. yes, maybe in another life for me on that one. Why was school not cancelled for you today? Sorry that boy doesn't take his work seriously.

Heidi: I hope you are doing some good lurking. HI!

Amelia: What's your schedule for tomorrow?

Cookie: How about that weather? Did you get mostly snow where you are at. There was 1/2 inch of ice on DH's car. I'm glad to be at home and not outside. How is week three of the rotation treating you? I have to admit, I'm only in week2 and I am feeling it. There better not be anything giggling by the end of the month.

So, did BM2 this morning. And yes, I felt it. Imax 3 is tomorrow. This rotation just might be the one that kills me. Been doing pretty good with the eats. Tomorrow morning is weigh in.

 

[punka274]

Hey girls, this morning I did about 40mins of step blasts followed by shoulders,back & biceps from high reps. Tomorrow will be the rest of high reps and i may try and walk the dog...hopefully if it isn't to chilly. It was about 49 today.

Iris-Fantastic news girl, glad your blood work is alright. Its time to see more of Rodney,heh? Sorry your going through so much stress right now.

Debbie-Glad to hear you FIL is doing better, good news.

Hello to everyone else...I've got to get my kids in the bed and wash dishes. Oh, i called and did a follow up on the 2nd job interview and there making there final choice on Friday and there suppose to call to let us know. She said they interviewed like 15people well, you guys know me..if i don't get it I will just keep looking

 

[jnka825]

Step moves and no equipment abs done. I am beat but that workout lifted my spirits after today.

Iris- Forgot to mention before how good that news is. so you are no preggo or going through menopause, that's a relief lol. Sorry to hear it is stress-related though. More yoga sounds like a good solution!

Helene- BM2 is such an awesome workout, but IMAX 3 the next day. . . you guys are nuts!

Amelia- I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Kristin

 

[Cookie57]

Evening!
Belinda, hoping for great news on your dh and dog. When will they get their results?
Amelia, good luck on the 2nd interview. Are you nervous waiting until Friday?
Melissa, isn't hot water wonderful? Just think in a couple of weeks, you'll be wishing you had a day off school.
Iris, glad the bloodwork came back good. Stress does terrible things to us.
Helene, even the plow guy had a hardtime with my driveway today. The ice is terrible and there's so much snow he's running out of space right on the periphery to move it. Bet you'll sleep well.
Deb, that's fantastic about your fil. Funny, last night I had a dream about meeting you at Macy's on 34th, shopping and then going to workout. How was the barre wo?
Kristin, aren't middle schoolers so much like toddlers at times? Nice to see results with your workouts already.
Lori, so was the old boyfriend worth the love letters? Hard to believe your little one is 4 already.
Heidi, aren't you going to brag that you don't have any snow or ice?
Trish, that's probably why I don't watch tv - no self control. I started rereading the Harry Potter series and then finished all seven books within three weeks! Can't say I have that motivation for housework.
Well, I'm still waiting for others to provide me with some of the data I need to submit this bear. Should have done some yoga cause I'm getting anxious about it. Then got another project today that will take me a few weeks. Makes me wonder what my job description would read like!
Did cardio core and lbb this morning and about 10 hours of paperwork!
Cookie

 

[bayerngirl]

Good evening,

Thanks girls about your kind words about Browler & DH! Nice job, on CC and your paperwork.

Cookie - DH will get his results tomorrow. Browler's I am not sure? The vet said, if those lumps look like normal he will not sent it in!

Iris - glad the doc had good news for you. Have fun today.

Lori - that's a lot of pages, have fun reading.

Melissa- hope your heat and hot water is up and running again.

Trish - that's funny! Have fun watching more seaons! Glad you enjoyed STS TB yesterday, I may give it a try soon.

Debbie - yeah on STS! How do you like it so far? Glad your FIL is doing better.

Kirstin -((HUGS))) sorry about your horrible day at work today. Hope tomorrow is a better on and your workout helped.

Helene - LOL, I don't wonna kill myself, overtraining! STS is not a walk in the park either.

Amelia - glad you feel better girl! Good luck!

Good night, ladies!
