Good morning,

Not sure, what I will do today, but I will do something:eek:
It's snowing outside, I thought we are done with that white stuff:(

Have great Sunday, everyone!
 
I never did come back yesterday and report my workout. I thought I was back here. Of course my day flew by as usual. I ended up doing 4 miles on the TM, HR UB and abs, and MMA UB combos again. The workout seemed longer then it actually was. I only have an hour before my client gets here so I am going to start running and go from there. My TM faces my dvd collection so maybe something will jump out at me? If not I may do the LB work in HR.

I took DD and her BF out for dinner last night. It was his b-day and I had to buy his dinner? LOL I didn't realize how late it was when I tried to put DS to bed and then a friend showed up for a drink. It was 12:30 or so before she left and my eyes were just rolling...I couldn't keep them open any longer. I don't remember moving last night!

I am working today for my coworker but I won't be on call tonight. I am just working the 8 hr shift. I am hoping to get some reading done although the refueler I will be working with loves to hang out and I don't see him very often anymore so I may not get that much done. I have to make it a point to set aside atleast an hour a day to read:( I didn't get anything done this week!

Belinda** I hear ya! I am done with this snow too! And the sad part is our winter is far from over. We haven't really had a "good" storm yet. We usually get pounded a couple of times a year. I can barely see when I am pulling out of my driveway now. The snow is piled so high on both lawns!

Oh...I just stretched and I have some nice DOMS in my chest and shoulders again. They have gotten a good going over this week!

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies

This morning I'm meeting another soon to be trainer, who's a member at my gym, for a functional workout. Should be fun, hard, and interesting...lol. Yes, it's a guy. Yes, he's single. No, I'm just not interested. But YES, I want to work out....lol. I need another push from someone else...sick of doing all the pushing....hehe.
I will probably shower at DC's office and work for awhile since I'll be there...LOL. I need to go through all the contracts/memberships, and ALL the billing. I'm STILL sorting out through crap since DC took over last April, and apparently, according to our account manager, I've been doing it wrong the whole time. How in the hell was I supposed to know that?? I learned the WHOLE SYSTEM on my own! So screw them, I'm gonna continue to do it my way and do what works for me, damnit...LOL. When are people gonna learn that I TRAIN PEOPLE, I don't BILL PEOPLE. Ughhhhh! Actually, I get paid to do both....so fml.

Belinda= Hahaha at snow..... ;) Enjoy your Sunday!

Lori- Omg...yesssss....I've had that happen with guys before...getting the wrong message. Just start talking about your DH! Perfect timing with Valentine's day! Tell him about your exciting and romantic plans! And I can't believe you called me boring!! lmaooo.. :eek::p

Kristin- wtg on bicep doms...those are hard for me too! No my client didn't bring in a picture...lol. So what do YOU think about kids trying to learn and listen with their parents around? I think kids are totally different on their own, it seems like.

Melissa- LOL @ your friends already ....after 2 days...ugh. I can't believe I've been single for 2 years....almost to the day...which is FINE. It doesnt' mean I' haven't seen people...:eek: ahem...DG. And I'm not going on a blind nothin'! You know as much as I might think to myself sometimes that it would be reallllyyyy nice to reallllyyy have someone, I think about WHEN in the hell would I reallllyyy have time for that? What would I be willing to give up? At this point, nothing, so I've stopped bitching. LOL.

Helene- Yeah that's what the members say pretty much. I really dont' have a life..and the life I was living wasn't very healthy...:rolleyes: February is almost half over...*sigh*. Hey, next time you go rollerskating, I so want to gooo!!!! When is DS's appointment tomorrow?

Ok time to eat, and get dressed to go...BBL
 
Good morning ladies,

I just finished a de-stressing 25 min total body yoga workout from Gaiam with Susanne Deason. Feel all stretched out:eek: That's it for me today,I am not in the mood to do cardio:rolleyes: beening kinda lazy today:confused::eek:

Lori and Iris - enjoy your workouts today!

Waves Hallo to the rest of the gang! BBL!
 
Hi there!
Belinda, you certainly are not lazy! And you do motivate me also with your wts.
Amelia, hope you're having a relaxing weekend with your kiddies.
Lori, that was nice of you to take him out for his b'day. Hope it wasn't an expensive restaurant.
Melissa, do you want to be on your own for a while? It might be a good to just concentrate on yourself for a while - unless of course George Clooney calls you up.
Iris, how are you feeling these days? Isn't it so frustrating when people tell you after the fact? I never passed that mind reading course.
Helene, your workouts sound like fun! Hope things go well with your son yesterday.
Deb, how's everything going with you? Hope all is well.
Trish, hey, what's going on? Miss you.
Kristin, I can't start to explain teaching these days in this small amount of space. The incredible amount of stress with testing is beyond ludicrous. Very, very few of our students do homework, families move a lot, there's no money for even paper in schools, I could go on and on. Open houses were 2 parents show up, and that's for the building not a class. Since almost everyone has attended school or a class, people often think they can teach - it is all that goes on behind the scene that is what's overwhelming. No one complains about the amount of money other public sector employees are paid, nor do they get to vote on their budgets.
This rotation is being felt! Highly recommend it. Did LL this morning, and we're off to snowshoe in a few minutes. Have to do bbw this evening and possibly a little more cardio (if time).
Cookie
 
Hey ladies! I woke up early this morning to try and tackle some physics since I'm having a lot of problems understanding it and my prof SUCKS!! It took me all weekend but I think I finally got it! Now as a reward I will do some cardio...not sure what yet?

And my butt is so unbelievably sore right now!!!!!! It hurts getting up, sitting down, basically doing anything right now...so I guess that is good?

Kristin, wow I didn't know that's how the educational system works in China. That is crazy! I keep hearing nothing but good things about the Netherlands. If it wasn't for all the cold & snow I might move there ;)

Helene, so you are a chem teacher? Hmm, now I know who to come to when I need help! Hahaha, I bet my dentist would take you. The laser is really cool and you don't feel anything. I believe he said he can also do stuff like root canals with it; hopefully I won't have to find out the answer to that personally (knock on wood).

Belinda, did you send snow our way too? It snowed for a bit here, nothing too crazy. Oooh yoga sounds like a good idea but so does kickboxing...still not sure what I will do. I am listening to my bro do P90X right now; Tony Horton gets on my nerves for some reason. I could never do that program lol! The yoga DVD intro sounds like a soft core porno.

Lori, how is the studying coming along? Did you sign up for a test date yet?

Iris, sometimes I prefer working out with guys because they are super competitive and I love beating them and then taunting them that they lost to a girl :) I feel like I push myself harder. LOL @ the blind date!! Before my ex, I was single for 3 years (not counting dates and stuff but nothing serious). I never plan on looking for someone; they just fall in my lap and I'm like oh ok let's try this haha. I dunno, I've never been the type where I felt that I NEEDED a boyfriend. I would like to be married one day but if it doesn't happen then it doesn't happen!

Cookie, yes I definitely want to be on my own for awhile!! Like Iris said, I can't imagine where I would have time for anyone, esp since in the next month I plan to start volunteering at the hospital so that will be school FT, work PT, and volunteering PT...plus my workouts of course ;) I do have this fantasy that when we go to Vegas I will meet up w Jason Segel (he is my total geek crush) and we will have a few wild nights and then elope :p

Enjoy the rest of your weekend girls!
 
Morning,

Belinda: Nice relaxing yoga break. I can't believe you got more snow. We had flurries here yesterday. My driveway is a block of ice.

Cookie: I can't even imagine the stress you are having right now with all that is happening. It's insane. The stress about the tests is weird. I grew up with national tests as well. We had lots of homework and lots of tests. :eek: LOL. I guess we didn't have much fun. But truth be told, that is not how I remember it. What's interesting is my brother's experience too. He is in Asia with one kid in the American school and the other two in the French school. Both are good, but it's night and day. So.........I don't think there is any country at this point that has it figured out. Good luck. When can you retire? LOL!

Melissa: I'm not a chem teacher but I have been thinking about it. Right now I do research. But let me tell you, having busted my buns to get a PhD and even a postdoc to now see all the jobs shipped overseas because it's cheaper after such an investment in education is insane. And the worst, it's not even working. It's cheaper, but it doesn't help discovery. It's absolutely insane (did I already say this?). On the other hand, the pharmaceutical industry was only second to retail as far as lost jobs go. So that's my grumble for the day :p It's just I have so many unemployed friends who busted their buns to get a PhD, worked 50-60 hours a week and can't find employment after having been let go. It sucks. PT is a good choice by the way. ;) And for the fun of it.... French system culminates with an exam at the end of high school over 1-2 weeks. If you don't pass, you get to do your senior year all over again. They have been making it easier lately though compared to my generation, and even more compared to my parents'.

Iris: Roller skating next Saturday (2-4pm) if you are interested. And did you get hot and sweaty with this guy this morning? Oh yeah, it was *functional* training......

Lori: So ...... are you chatting or studying :p ? I am not sure I can say anything about your workout. It's insane as usual. You are awesome! Bet that Lululemon looks good!

Hi to everyone else.

Let's see. Low Max done this morning. Hoping to get an STS wo in this evening too.

Can't believe it's almost 2:30 already!
 
Hey girls, quick post here. Yesterday I did a turbo jam workout for 30 minutes. And today was a run interval for 43minutes. I start ChaLean tomorrow! :eek: Im taking my measurements and before pictures in the morning. Im also going out to apply at two more job openings I heard about.

ok, everyone have a great Sunday:)
 
Happy Sunday all! Today I did BM2 Cardio Blast plus the ab work. I have not done BM2 in so long. I cannot remember the last time I did this premix either. it was awesome. I put the music louder than the vocals and it rocked. I was sweating buckets at the end. When I did the ab work, I had sweat dripping down my arms during the side planks :D. Felt good!!!!

So we found a place $600 for a 3 bedroom condo. Nice!!!! I booked it, and they required a deposit, but not the full amount. Plus, I think it was Melissa who told me to check out Trip Advisor, nothing bu tgood reviews. Cannot wait to go. We are tkaing my mom (she was forced to retire and has been depressed since), so my dad is going to pay for the mini van rental (sweet deal). We are driving because the airfare would be RIDICULOUS, $1600 for the four of us, flying Southwest of all airlines with two stops, get outta here! To be honest, I am glad to be driving, I hate flying. I am terrified of it. I cry during take off and it makes me so nervous now with all the security and what not. tha tmight sound crazy. My DH thinks the security should make me feel better. It just reminds me there is a real threat, :rolleyes:.

BTW- I saw a post that in this week's Cathe email newsletter they will be announcing teh dates to register for the RT!!!!! :eek::eek:

Lori- Again, awesome workout. Are you using the WB or are you doing your own thing with the dvds?

Iris- I think most kids behave differently with their parents present :rolleyes:. that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the behavior, lol.


Cookie- Amen! I always buy two boxes of paper because we always run out in April/May, right before review time for finals. Other public sectors are being criticized here now, most recently cops. Suffolk County and Nassau
County police are being criticized for making over $100 k with overtime. Uh. .. they risk their lives every day! There was a Nassau County cop who was killed by a truck driver while stopping a car with a broken brake light. It is getting crazy.

Melissa- What cardio did you decide on? RT! RT! RT! LOL. i hope we get in. i would love to see you guys again! LOL @ your Vegas fantasy :D.

Helene- LM is one of my favs and I haven't done it in so long. i am afraid to do it now with STS. My legs still have slight DOMS from Wednesday, lol.

Amelia- good luck with the job interviews! Will you be posting your pics on your blog?

Kristin
 
Workout done! I decided on KPC minus the C since I did abs yesterday and will do them tomorrow.

Helene, that is crazy. I can't imagine going through all that schooling to not be able to find a job. The whole higher education system gets under my skin too; how can the tuition of some of these mandatory degrees be justified when the pay you get when you come out can't even help pay your bill?! It's nuts. I think every major should have tuition forgiveness, or whatever it's called. They are pushing for it in the PT field, so I'm hoping by the time I graduate, it will pertain to me. The cheapest school I've seen is SUNY for $65K and some of them (BU being my dream) go to $120K!!! Out...of...CONTROL!! I'm hoping in 5 years when I'm ready to work in PT it will still be somewhat in demand. I'm hearing all these speculations about insurance companies and the healthcare system not covering PT once all is said and done...UGH I can't imagine going thru all this and not having a job in the end. But, you never know, it could go either way. Ok, I'm done ranting now :) WOW, double workouts today?! You go gurl!!!

Kristin, wow that is nuts for flight prices!!! I was looking at flights to West Palm Beach and they are like $400 and that is with a layover. NUTS!!! Hmm, driving might be a good idea. Maybe I can convince some people to come with me and we can have a road trip. Yeah I love Trip Advisor, especially when you can see what the hotel actually looks like instead of whatever doctored up photos they post themselves. Oooooh I have to keep my eyes peeled for RT dates!! I can't wait already!!
 
My Goodness..BELINDA has more post then any of us;) And I have been around here a looooooooong time! LOL

Today's workout was PH abs, 3.5 miles on the TM mixed in with the lower body work from HR.

Cookie** No it wasn't an expensive restaurant. Still cost me $80 though... I could have gotten more workout gear!:eek:

Ameila** Your new program sounds exciting. You probably feel like you need a little something to get you excited again. Sometimes a new plan is all we need. Hope it works for you!

Helene** Crap...I chatted allll day. This guy likes to talk. I use to work with him actually and I use to have to give him the cold shoulder in order to get rid of him. He didn't give up today. He would do his work and then come right back again.

Melissa** I haven't scheduled my exam date yet but I can't do it any later then Jan 31st...so even though I do have lots of time, I need to buckle down.

I ran to the mall today while I was at work b/c I wanted some new pants. I took at 3/4 in with me and everyone single one of them were to big. I was rotted....b/c I didn't have time to look through that rack again and the lady working was absolutely useless. I managed to find 2 pairs of pants...in size 1/2 and 3 tops..which I didn't really need but they were 50% off. AND WTH is up with skinny legged dress pants?? Who in the world would wear that??

Lori:)


 
Good evening,

Cookie - what rotaiton are you doing? I am getting old, lol! Hope you had fun with your cardio/BBW today.
　
Lori - I keep forgetting about PH abs. Nice job, with your run/abs today.
That was nice of you to take your DD's BF out for dinner.

Amelia - I can't wait to hear how you like your new workouts.

Melissa - KPC is so much fun. Need to pull that one out this week, thanks for reminding me.

Kirstin - it always blows my mind how expensive flights are in the US? Glad you found a great place in FL.

Helene - did you get LM & STS in this morning? We are all covered with snow again. What's up with that?

Good evening:D
