[bayerngirl]

Good morning,

The vet doesn't think Browler has seizures, but she is not 100% sure either I have to video tape him his weekend when he gets those twitchings/shaking! She took some blood tests and checked him out. Thanks for all your kind words!

I will take a rest day today, I am excusted will get my cardio in tomorrow!

DH and I will visit my sisters in Nuernberg. I will be back on Sunday morning.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Morning!
Belinda, glad it isn't seizures, but I wonder what it is. My golden gets these twitches in her sleep that last for a few seconds, but they only occur when she's sleeping, so I think it is like restless leg syndrome with humans. Bet you're exhausted with all that running around.
Iris, not much longer now. Did you get the bling attached to your suit? You must be getting excited - all your hard work is literally going to be shown off.
Helene, are you feeling better? Did your trip to Lake Placid get postponed? I was telling someone yesterday how much fun the bobsled and luge rides are and thought of you.
Kristen, did your dh return? Didn't you feel like calling in a cleaning service the other day? Why do these things never happen to the dads?
Melissa, how's are you feeling? Hope you're better and the studying is going well.
Lori, what a houseful you had the other day! I would have been exhausted from that. BTW, a 40-min run and abs is not "doing just!" for the rest of the world. To mere mortals, like myself, that's great.
Amelia, are you thinking of doing any baking/decorating on the side? I always wanted to learn how to do that, but never made the time. I'll bet you're really good at it.
Deb, how's everything going? When do you return home? Hope it was a good visit.
After work on Thursday, went to dinner and then a lecture. So after doing bosu workouts for a week, I was saying how one can really feel it in the core from them and how I'm hoping to improve my balance. Well, after the lecture, I didn't see a step down to the lobby and fell. Only twisted my ankle, but feeling like either need a lot more bosu or how bad was I before? Had to take yesterday as a rest day 'cause it hurt to much to put pressure on it. Think I'm going to try a tb weight wo this morning before heading off to a full-day meeting.

Good Morning Ladies

Today is my usual rest day, but am definitely going to try and get some cardio in later! Yesterday I did Step and Intervals from CTX and the Timesaver premix from GS BSB. It was about all I could stand.

Went to the mall and the commons yesterday ( I can't believe I JUST missed Helene). I got a cutesy racerback top from Express for after the show. I was going to wear a dress, BUT lets remember it's still winter in the Northeast.....lol. So I'll wear something over it. Got my jewelery. Blinging the suit will be no easy task. Found some jewels, but not in the size i was really looking for.... *sigh*. Got my teeth whitener. Went and spray tanned. My self tanner came in. Things are starting to come together! Now, if just my body would! The NICE thing is....certain jeans/pants that were tight now fit AWESOME. Omg I hope it can stay like that!! LOL. But I doubt it.

And seriously, I know I"m beating myself up, but there's some girls that look like I do now, 2 months before their show....UGH. I think I'm just getting nervous about this a$$!!!!!!!! I know i'm just being ridiculous..... and it's hormones talking...... it was so WEIRD this month NOT getting ttom!!

Belinda- I hope you can find out what's going on with your pup! I can' imagine how tired and frustrated you are. Relax today. You deserve it, girl!

Helene- Omg I'm sorry, I ended up talking to Kristin for almost an hour! And by then my phone desperately needed to be charged. And then I figured you were home by then... Have you spoken again with your brother???? I meant to ask you that last night!! My prayers are with your family. I just can't even believe it.....

Lori- As far as I know, there's no VS that has clothes here.... But let me know if you guys decide to order online if it's cheaper to ship from here. Do you have a Forever 21 there?? Officially my favorite store.... 90 min.?? I've never even heard of that!! lmao. you're right, I'm a like 'wth'! Omg what a crazy day you had!

Cookie- Omg!! Are you ok?? Seriously, balance training and eye sight for steps are unrelated!! What kind of full day meeting do you have on a Saturday??

Trish- LOL @ B&G Leg Blast...seriously, that premix?? Everytime I think it's the last exercise....it's NOT.


Hi to all that follow!!! BBL

 

[dr.mel_PT]

Good morning! I have really been slacking on these check-ins How did everyone make out with all this rain?! I couldn't believe how many roads were closed yesterday!

No work today which is surprising because it's the weekend before St Patty's Day. I worked yesterday though. Today I'm going to the parade with a bunch of friends; they close off the street so you can drink outside lol. I'm so excited! I'm also gearing up to get in some Imax 3 in a bit.

Helene, has your bro heard from his MIL?! I'm so glad he is ok! What a scary thing that's happening. Now I heard something about a nuclear plant having blown up over there?! Things are nuts. My dad is convinced the end is coming in 2012.

Belinda, I hope Browler gets better soon! Poor little guy.

Cookie, I'm feeling a lot better. Still have the sniffles. This cold just won't go away! I have spring break this week (woohoo) but of course I'm getting slammed with 2 exams when I go back. It never ends lol! Hope your ankle is feeling better.

Iris, you will do awesome and I bet you look better than those chicks! Just hang in there. You have been working so hard!! I LOVE F21 also!!! They have such cute things and they are CHEAP! I can easily get 2 bags of clothes for around $100. LOVE LOVE LOVE that place!

Kristin, how did your week go??

OK ladies, I'm off to WO then get ready to drink my butt off lol. I'm taking the train so I don't have to worry about driving. Have a great day and don't forget to set your clocks ahead tomorrow!

Morning ladies.

Belinda: I am glad bowler is not having seizures. I hope you can figure it out soon. You sound so worried I hope you have a nice weekend though.

Cookie: We never did en up going to Lake Placid. We did other stuff that weekend. OMG at falling and twisting your ankle. LOL at Iris saying balance and vision have nothing to do with each other. Hugs on the meetings all day on a Saturday.

Lori: I've never seen a VS clothes shop anywhere. But we have good shopping. My parents always complain at how expensive stuff is in CA when they go visit my brother. I always see buses of Canadians coming to the stores here and I can hear these ladies talk about how cheap stuff is in the US ('cause I speak French ). Nice job on the run.

Iris: No wonder, I thought you looked great in your jeans when we went skating . It's your first comp anyways. I saw a brief youtube about Tosca prepping for a show and it pretty much described it as what you have been going through, don't eat and train like an animal I still just can't wait for next weekend. OMG. For my bro, they are OK but very shaken up. They finally heard from his MIL Saturday morning and she is OK, had to stay with a friend. Don't know why. Also heard from customer over there who said it was a "terrible earthquake" and when a japanese person says that, you know it was bad. My parents missed it by a week. They are supposed to go visit my bro this coming Friday. Don't know if that will happen now.

Melissa: LOL at you getting spring break. I guess you are not going any place where MTV will be! I've never been to F21. I've always felt too old to even walk through the door Speaking of, need to go cover the grays, they are getting out of control. See my answer to Iris for my bro. Thanks! I guess the aftershocks are quite bad too with about 30 in one day .

Kristin: How are you with the reserves coming home to help again Hope you have a nice family weekend planned. One of my coworkers was gone for 17 days and his wife stayed back with the kids (2yo, and 5yo twins). He said she was ready to lose it when he came back

Amelia: How was your work week? How is everything going?

Trish: OK, I'm sick of hearing about it. I think I am going to do that B&G premix today!

Deb: Hope all is still well with you.

So Saturday...... I'm going to try another new Staehle wo, I'm thinking hi-lo Medball and then do that B&G premix. Then swim lessons and rollerblading.

Better do some laundry and cleaning too. MIL is coming next week.

hi all! DH has returned!!!! What a freakin' week. It has been crazy on all fronts. At the faculty meeting on Tuesday, the administration told us they did not know anything solid about the budget. Yet, yesterday morning as we walked in people were being told they were being excessed and would not have a job in September. These are people who have been in the district some 10 years! It was a sad day. then we were told this is only the first round of cuts and that we can expect 35-40 kids in a class next year. I was in tears on and off most of the day. i was so happy to get out of there and pick up DH from the airport. DS (Nikolas, my older one) ran to Jeff when he saw him. It was so heartwarming. At least the day ended well.

I have been a complete slacker this week. Can you blame me? Seriously, I only did two workouts, one being a yoga dvd. My eating, has been anything but clean, think pizza and KFC!!!!. Today I plan on cleaning it up and doing a kickass cardio workout, like Cardio Fusion. I have to go to a kiddie birthday party first.

Helene- 17 days!!!! I would have lost it. One week was enough for me. It was so hard to drop off Chris, go to work, do the pick ups, keep the house semi-clean, take care of them, dinner, clean again, lol (hence the reason I went for fast options for dinner after day one), bedtime, and then pass out. I give credit to all those single moms out there. DH really helps out so much. I have to give the man credit. He really is a partner in every way. I am lucky.

Okay, I will bbl with personals. I just have to get it together today. Thank God this was my rest week with STS. Never would have stayed on schedule.

Kristin

Good Morning, Ive been another slacker on this thread too I've been going on my blog alot lately and its taking my computer time

Im off today, i woke up with the congestion that was in my nose now in my chest so...im thinking about getting Mucinex for it. Im SO SICK of this cold it won't go away.

I have CLX Burn Circuit 3 + a dog walk later on today planned. Yesterday I strayed away from the clx rotation and did 4ds/LIS...so much fun. I really love the music in that one. Cathe definitely has everyone beat when it comes to fun with workouts. She's the best

Belinda((hugs)) about blowler, have a good rest day today.

Hello to everyone. I will try and come back on here later to catch up with personals

 

[helened]

Wow this thread is so quiet sometimes!

It was a good long day. End it up doing Staehle's Step Mix and I loved it (even if I fell off my step ......no harm done). This is going to be awesome fun when I've learned it. I also previewed med ball hi/lo and it looks awesome. So that will be tomorrow morning. She is now officially my favorite instructor AFTER Cathe. She is fun and I like her personality. The production though......sucks. Oh well, I guess Cathe is one in a million.

Iris: DD fell asleep on a bench at Guptil's (the roller blade arena). With the music blaring and everything

Have a good night everyone.

Evening!
Helene, finally went back and read over personals. Am relieved your brother and his family are ok. Can't imagine how you and they were feeling. What a tragedy. I have a few of Tracey's and the ones I reach for the most are yoga, kickbox, and hi-low med ball, but I do very much wish her production quality was better.
Melissa, did you have fun at the parade? My Irish exchange student went to the one in Albany and was shocked at the number of intoxicated people. Enjoy the break.
Kristin, gee, wondering if your dh travels sometimes you so appreciate him. Glad you have such a good partner. Layoff notices have started here also. Very depressing. My meetings today and yesterday were re the AFT Innovation on effective measures.
Amelia, hope you feel better. I had good luck with Mucinex, the time I took it. I also enjoy the 4ds lis/his. What a great mix.
Cookie
Never got my wo in this morning. Had to read over papers for the meeting and that took longer than I expected.
