Hello Ladies.

Checkin' in before I start making dinner...this is what's on the menu for tonight but it's got no meat in it so Di's family won't like it (sorry Di!)... Spaghetti with Creamy Butternut Leek Parmesan Sauce | Skinnytaste ...I am also going to nose around for a new brussel sprout recipe to go with it.

Well, I took medicine and collapsed into bed this morning around 10am. I slept on and off until about 11:30 at which point I got up and forced myself to go food shopping. The med worked to relieve my symptoms but left me feeling loopy so getting out the door to food shop was a bit of challenge.

The symptoms started returning this afternoon so I took another dose. Thankfully though they are not as severe as they were previously. No more sinus pressure/headachey stuff or body aches going on so I'm happy about that. Now it seems like just plain old head cold symptoms.

No work out for me today...guess you aren't too surprised by that...

Lori:: Glad DS apologized to the little girl and hope he learned his lesson! I know my son can be hard headed and doesn't always learn the first, second OR third time!!!! Hope you enjoyed your nap as much as I enjoyed mine!

Laura:: Sorry DH is still having such a rough time. Poor guy. Enjoy the Halloween festivities. We have a party to go to next weekend. DS has a costume but DH and I do not. Not sure what we will be??

K, time to start cooking. Just hope I don't sneeze in the food! EWWWW!

BBL or ITAM!

Alright...my house was bombarded for a little bit. It was ok though cause it broke up my evening. These Friday nights alone are getting OLD! When the baby goes to bed I plan on doing cardio of some kind. Probably a run and CF.

Laura** sounds like you have a fun weekend played! There is a party here as well but I have no desire to go to it. My "friend"...no...I can't even call her that! My enemy is organizing it and I'm sure she purposely left me out. It was through fb and she invited everyone and their dog...excluding me but someone else added me to it. My friend wants me to go for spite. She also organized a kids party tonight and didn't invite my kids either...that's where she crossed the line. How miserable can one person be...and I don't even know why she's mad at me, not half the story. When I move, she will be the first person I remove from my friends list! That friendship is long over.

Wendy** I did enjoy my nap! I feel good now. Dinner sounds good. Mine was a granola bar for now but I'd rather be there with you guys!!!

I might bb later but I'll probably be talking to myself!

Good Morning

No workout to report from last night. The baby went to bed early enough but I ended up watching a recorded show, then DH called so I didn't bother. Now I'm really in the mood to sweat today.....not just yet...I'm still waking up! I have training at 11 so I would like to have my workout done by then. Around 8:30 I think I will head to the basement.

I don't have any plans today. DS has gymnastics at 2 and I am having my friends over for dinner this evening. Today will probably fly by.....just the way I like it!

Bbl to report my workout!

Morning...left out the good part on purpose....

Still not feeling great and have to endure class today from 11am to 6pm plus a trip to and from my mom's house. DH got called into work today so she is watching DS while I'm at school. I am thankfull but this means someone has to drop him off there and that would be me! Thankfully I don't have to pick him up later too. She is going to be bringing him back to my area for a B'day party he is invited to at 2pm today and DH will will be out of work at 3 so he will meet them at the party.

No work out for me AGAIN today...hopefully tmrw though. Depends on how I feel...

Lori:: I love it when the weekdays fly by but the weekends, not so much. Ofcourse the weekends seem to fly faster too. Murphy's law I suppose.

Ok, time to get ready to go. If I were going straight to class I wouldn't have to leave until about 10:30 but b/c I am going to my mom's first I need to be out of here by 9:15...

Not sure if I'll BBL. If class doesn't let out early then we'll be clamouring for dinner by the time I get home tonight so that probably won't leave me any time to check in again...Have a good one!

Hi Ladies,

hhmmmm, I don't see my post from yesterday. I was feeling miserable and went to bed around 1pm yesterday. Still not feeling great. This cold seems to be kickin' in now and my stomach has been so upset too.

DH and I are headed up to our Condo for a long weekend. We'll be coming home on Tuesday. It'll be nice to get out of this sick house. We've been cleaning/disinfecting everything every other day...and I've washed all the bedding too. Unfortunately it's too cold open the windows and get the sick air out of this house.

Laura-sorry DH is having such a hard time. {{HUGS}} A2 should be delivered today. I'll take it with me if it's here before we leave. Otherwise I may just do some BR w/o's when I feel up to it.

Lori-that was nice of DS to apologize to the little girl. How rude of your so called friend to exclude you...but you can live with that....but to exclude your kids is just so rude. Yeah, you don't need friends like that. How are those arms looking with all those UB w/o's???

Wendy-sorry you are still under the weather too. I loved living close to family so there was always a babysitter when needed at the last minute. Hope you make it through class today. Perhaps ordering pizza or dinner out would be good for tonight. Oh, I checked out your recipe and it looks delish....yes you're right, I would have to add meat for my family to eat it.

Gotta run, DH is wanting to get out of here shortly. Time for me to shower and throw some clothes together. BBL

Good Morning

Sooooo not ready to get up this morning. The baby was up from 3-4 pretty much. Of course I felt like I could stay up at 4. Both times I had to rock him back to sleep and then when I got in bed I was afraid to dooze off cause I knew that he wasn't really settled...and then he started his day at 6:43.... And he's so loud this morning. I need earplugs.

Dinner with my friends was good last night. My inlaws ended up staying as well. I think it was good for them. My mil seemed really down yesterday and my fil is so short with her, it's kind of embarrassing...someone needs to tell him and he isn't my father. I think everything is getting to everyone...the business we are trying to sell, DH isnt finished is course, then we are all moving...their jobs....everyone has their own battles plus the fact of us moving across the country and taking the grand kids are at least 85% of what's wrong with everyone. My sil also left for fl yesterday so I don't know if my mil was kind of wanting to go to. I'm sure she could have if she wanted to but we are all going to see DH graduate in nov and she said that's enough of a trip.

My friend and her DH were going out last night and I convinced her to leave her two oldest girls here with me for all night. There was no convincing when I asked the girls if they wanted to have a sleepover. They were so good though! They watched a movie downstairs and when they went to bed the youngest one (who is DS's age) fell a sleep while the other two watched tv and played with the iPad. When I went back upstairs the older one had made her way into bed as well. I was hoping neither of them would wake up during the night and it ended up being my own that woke up and interrupted my sleep! Go figure!!

Oh! I went shopping yesterday! I got some new boots and 3 pairs of skinnys!!! I wanted a black pair but ended up with a navy pair, jeans that were on sale and a PURPLE pair....I finally did it. I have wanted a pair of colored jeans for so long and dd kept telling me I was to old! While I was at the store, the manager, who is at least 20 yrs older then me, was strutting around with her fur leopard print boots on and I thought....if she can wear that....then by the dy'ins I can wear purple jeans

I'm writing a novel today....

Yesterdays workout was 20 mins run, CF and some of 4 DS shoulders. I'm not sure what I will do today.

Wendy** are you feeling any better today? How was your day in class? Hopefully you two are finally kicking the cold....mine came back but not as bad as it was the first time, which makes me think I wasn't really over it.

Diana** how nice...a weekend get away!!!! I looks forward to future weekend get always with my DH....and when the kids are older. When I can sit and sit and sit...but then I will probably be wishing that my kids were babies again...or dd might have her own by the . Yeah....this friend isn't a true friend. Out of the 10 yrs I've known her, our relationship was only good for about two of it. Then 4 yrs ago I called her on a few things and it was never the same again. I think she's the type you can't cross. Just grin and bare it and it's all good...once you start confronting her, then it's over. I'm not sure why she is upset with me and I could careless...I haven't lost any sleep over it. I knew she didnt invite me to the parties b/c it was a Facebook invite. She had to go through her friends list to invite people and she obviously skipped over my name. One of her other friends added me to the adult party, so they obviously don't know of the animosity, but I never did get a invite to the kids party. Up to this point I always thought if I saw her I would wave and just say "hi" even though I knew she was mad....but now Id rather give her the finger. I will def not acknowledge her. And when we move , as childish as this might sound, I'm defriending her on fb. Anyone who excluded kids from a party shouldn't be given the time of day.

Alright...I will shut up now...

Hey Girls.

Quick check in to say that ya might not be hearin' from me for a couple of days. The Hurricane is expected to hit our area hard. Our town is strongly suggesting voluntary evacuations which could very well change to madatory before the day is done. That being said, we aren't taking any chances and we are going to stay with DH cousin so not sure if I'll have access to post. So if you don't hear from me, that's why and I'll post as soon as I can! Off to try and squeeze a work out in before we leave!!! We are going to have dinner at my mom's tonight but then going straight to his cousin's....

BB when I can!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Bob's Kettlebell Cardio Shred and STS Extended Stretch are done.

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls

My workout was a 10.5 k run outside and GS UB , ex back. I'm hoping to do back and legs tomorrow (GS). I'm not on top of my game today. I was so lazy. I think it was the broken sleep. And when I did UB I was really struggling. I think I will be good and sore tomorrow!

Today wasn't that dragged out. I went to mcds with my friends (the kids I had all night) and then my workout took a while cause I fed the kids in between and did some cleaning. I also took a nice hot shower and a nap. I'm enjoying my coffee now and then I am headed to my inlaws for dinner.

Wendy** Hopefully you will be able to check in!!! Stay safe!!

BBL!
Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Okay, the evacuation is mandatory now. DH already left with a car packed full of stuff to drop at his cousin's house before we head to my mom's for dinner. I will be trailing behind with the rest of our stuff shortly. Have a good one and I'll check in when I am able!

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

I would have given anything to stay in bed this morning! Oh...I was so lazy and my bed was so warm! It's a good thing I went to bed at a half decent time.

I don't know who will be around today for me to talk to...poor,poor Lori! I guess I should turn the news on and see what this storm is all about. It's another rainy, foggy day here today. It's not cold and hopefully it will stay that way for Halloween night.

I think today's workout will be GS back, then cardio and hopefully legs after that. I'm up early enough that I should have no trouble getting it all in after DS goes to school. I don't have the girls for the next two weeks so I don't feel the need to have lunch ready as soon as he gets home.

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori

Our crews have all left to help w/power outages - praying for them as well!

Di - OH MY so you are sick too - I am sorry!! take care of your self!! medication and REST!!

Hi Ladies,

I did a BR w/o yesterday, 3 times through. It had pushups and much to my chagrin I had to drop to my knees for some of them. I'm usually pretty strong with pushups. It was great to get a w/o in.

I spent the afternoon perusing the shops in this small town. I even tried on some prana yoga clothes but didn't buy anything. I did buy a couple pr. of earrings and some oatmeal chocolate chip cookie makings(in a bag).

DH and I are enjoying our time alone. We may hit the outlet shops later today. Not sure I even feel like shopping, we don't need anything.

Wendy-Stay safe and check in when you can. We are following this Superstorm on the news. I couldn't believe you actually did a workout before evacuating...you crazy girl.

Laura-I saw your Halloween pics on FB. Looks like it was a fun time! I enjoyed a few cocktails myself last night. I forgot to ask my kids if my A2 package arrived.

Lori-I'm sure your're impending move is tough on the whole family. You've come to terms with it but it sounds like DH is misleading his parents right now. Enjoy your workout today!

Hello.

Checking in from Dh's cousin's house. Southern New Jersey (south of where I live) is under water. Atlantic City is being washed away. It's scarey. IDK what we will go home to!!! We still have power where we are staying but fully expect it to go out tonight at some point when the worst part of the storm arrives.

I have work out stuff with me. Haven't done one yet but still might. Depends on how bored I get. I really should take advantage of the fact that we still have power but I'm just not in the mood.

Ok, that's all for now. Might be back later...if not, have a great evening.

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies....Lori I'm around all day.

So I completed this ZWOW before breakfast today: Zuzana Light - ZWOW # 9 3-16-2012 - YouTube

I'm always surpised and how tough her short workouts are. It was nice since it didn't use any equipment. I had to improvise yesterday's BR w/o since I don't have any equipment with me. We'll be heading home tomorrow and I plan on doing a full body workout...ALA STS TB with perhaps some GS Triceps.

Wendy-so glad to hear that you are safe. What a scary situation. Praying for your family and everyone in Sandy's path. Stay safe.

bbl....don't want Lori to be alone today.

storm

Wendy -

hope you are safe where you are - did you grab the dog and the hamster too???? the pics I am seeing of A/C .. there is already flooding - and ya'll got a long way to go to riding out this storm! one thing about the casinos .. in a town like A/C or here in Biloxi, MS .. they got money and they will get the storm damage cleaned up fast!!!

We are thinking about you and praying for your safety! Hang in there kiddo - I say... screw the workout - grab some wine or Capt Morgan instead!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hey,

Some how we still have power where I am though it's fickered atleast ten times by now. I called my house a few hours ago and the phone was out but that could mean just the cable is out and not all of the power since we get our phone service from the cable company but we don't know for sure. They've shut down so many highways (or large portions of them) between where we are staying and our house that I don't think we get home if we tried right now!

Laura:: Yes we have our animals with us. There are three dogs and a hamster in this house right now between ours, DH's cousin's dog and his step-mom's dog. She was evacuated as well so she is here with us. Loved the captn instead of a work out comment! LOL I've been considering it since lunch and have held off but not for much longer!

Di:: Thanks for your concern!

Ok let me go before the power flickers and I lose this post!

BB when I can!

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls

Today's workout was GS back, 20 mins run, 30/30 and GS legs standing work. Other then that I spent my day getting another care package ready for DS (his last one) and took DS to a store he's been hounding to go to. I think I will head to bed soon and watch tv in my bed....cause I didn't want to get out this morning.

Laura** sounds like you had a good weekend. She's the "friend" I was telling you about. Ill have no trouble ignoring her the next time I see her. I think some people were just born to be idiots.

Wendy** hope you are ok!!!! I'm crossing my fingers that you will find your house just the way you left it.

Diana** sounds like you are having a awesome time with DH. Did you do any shopping? I don't enjoy shopping but you know I love online shopping

I will bb in the morning!

Lori

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

Hope Wendy is staying safe!!! I'm guessing the storm should be over with by now? I watched a little on the news just now but I think it was clips from yesterday.

My sister finally made it home from fl. Her flight was delayed for over a day. Apparently our weather is what's keeping that storm away from us. We are having a lot of fog and rain....I think this might be day 5 now .

Well...how confusing is this? Last night I decided to see if I could figure out where the he** my dress is b/c I ordered it over a week ago. I couldn't find any info on it! I checked my email....I checked my deleted messages....I checked my cc....nothing! The only thing I did find was on the website, in my account there was an order placed on the 20th and it still says "open" , not "shipped". I don't think they charge me until my items are actually shipped and I guess I can't find an email b/c it hasn't been shipped. I hope they have it in stock! I'll be so ticked if they dont b/c then I'm right back to square one.

I had 2 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of boots come yesterday. 2 pairs fit me and the other 2 I was unsure about. I tried them on after I worked out though so maybe my feet were swollen? Cause when I tried them on later they didn't feel to bad. The ones for DH's graduation are high though....I wore them around the house yesterday just to get use to them so my feet dont hate me the night of....or my nose when I land flat on my face! with no dress on btw.....did I mention its not shipped!

I'm not sure what I will do today but the baby is up early enough that when DS goes to school, he should be going for his nap and I can't start in!

Bbl

Lori

TUE

Morning -

Praying for Wendy - what a mess! thinking your area got hit the hardest - flooding - the boardwalk is gone - they are evacuating .. WHY DONT PEOPLE LEAVE .. ???? .. Glad Wendy got out of there - not sure how far away you went Wendy - this storm is reaching FAR OUT ... and praying that where you are .. is good and safe!! you probably dont have power - but if you do and can - please let us know all is well!!

On top of the already CRAPPY year I have had - we think we have people trying to pull off a scam using OUR MAILING address - long story - but it is NOT good! Hoping we can stop it before it becomes bad - I have fraud alert on my credit but DH doesnt . so gonna check his credit JIC - thinking they are just using our mailing address for DEAD soldiers to get $$$$$ .. but crap .. that is one more hassell we dont need!!!

I got a good 4+ mile INTERVAL run in ystdy - OMG it was FREEZINg - our winds were howling at prbly 20 - 25 mph .. . it was like running w/resistance in a blizzard! BRRRR .. I never got warm!! I swear I went from running in 95 degree weather to running in 50 degree weather that felt like 30 degree weather!!(I know Lori - nothing compared to what you run in .. what can I say I am a whimp.. Lol) DOMS: hammies!!

Lori - Hope you find out on your dress - that makes me so mad when that happens .. it should say out of stock when you order it! Hey question which LULU pants do you prefer to run in? and I am seriously considering ordering the long sleeve 1/2 zipper pullover - bc i only have a light Nike lycra running jacket that I wear when it is cold .. it wasnt enough ystdy!! Do you wear long sleeves or just put a jacket on over your tank?? I dont need anything really weather proof b/c I am a fair weather runner .. LOL!

Di - hoping you are feeling better today!! How is your DS??? is he better yet?

Wendy - {{{{ hugs }}}}}}

Ok .. thinking today will be me and SIL and either AB or upper elite! have a great one!
