Hey...

I hadn't received a call back from the manager of the gym as of about noon today so I just took a ride to the location to time it b/c part of my stress was due to how much time I will have to get from work to school to pick up DS every day. I also wanted tocheck out the facility ofcourse. I walked by and peeked in and it looks great! Much more akin to the the location by me then to the one I interviewed at so that makes me happy! The manager said she had to go there today at some point and I think I actually saw her at the desk as I walked by...I didn't go in though. I didn't want to seem like a stalker! I've been home for a while now and as of yet...still no phone call. I called 2x this morning. My mom said to wait until like 3pm to c/b again so as not to be a PITA but I want to know why I haven't heard from her! I'm starting to get nervous but I will wait like my mom suggested even though it's killing me!!!!

Ok, time to quit whinin'and go get my kid. I'll call the gym again when I get back home. Fingers crossed please! I'll keep you ladies posted!

BBL!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Okay, I just spoke to the manager. She's just been crazy busy running around but it's all good. The ball is rolling on the hiring process now!

No cardio yet....may not have time but I haven't given up hope yet! Gotta run to the foodstore so I can make a decent dinner and then after we eat we are taking DS to sign up for wrestling!

Man, am I feeling y'day's work out! This is why I lurve Bob. I just have to be careful not over-do his work outs.

Ok, that's all for now but I'll try to get back for personals in a bit!

Hey Girls

Sorry I've been MIA. Yesterday was a weird morning. I woke up to the power going out, when it finally came back DD needed a ride to school cause she claimed she wasn't ready when the power was gone, then I had to rush DS out the door...I tided the house (helping mom of course) and then I went for a 13k run. After lunch was a whirl wind as well and DS is hogging his iPad these days. Then last night I visited my friend who lives just down the st.

Today I did STS and MM UB,30 mins run and 1/2 DWP. Kids came home for lunch so I didn't have time to do the other half. After lunch I had to go get pampers, when I pulled in my drive way two friends pulled in behind me (one I expected, one I didn't) my father in law was here cleaning the chimney and it was just madness. It was driving me crazy actually. To much!!! Why not in dribs and drabs? Then I went to a friends house for dinner. Tomorrow won't be much better either. I have training at 10:30, Halloween party at 12 and gymnastics at 2 and something els at 5 that I will gracefully bow out of.

I'm not sure what tomorrows workout will be. I'd like to run outside cause its suppose to be nice. Just not sure when I can fit it in. I could probably get my fil to pick DS up from gymnastics if I had too.

So we got our posting. Cold Lake Alberta. Pop about 14000...which I'm use too. 3 hours from the nearest city, it's suppose to be a nice town. DH called his boss today and he suggested we rent at first and buy when the military move. He also said that he wouldnt give us an unrealistic time to be there but he still didn't say when. He also said that there is a market for PT's there and the military base cant keep them. Could be the pay or the work enviroment....I guess I will be looking into that.

Wendy** wow!!! You've been busy!!! Holy! Lol. Glad you got everything sorted out. It was kind of like I was reading a story and I was in suspense! . Is she gonna call?? Is she not gonna call?? It will be awesome. You've had a lot of changes the past couple of weeks. It makes everything more exciting. Sweating + yoga....whatev! . Jk! My mom a,ways makes me feel better about things too. But she also irritates me when she ask me dumb questions. Like just now I told her that there was a market for pt in cold lake, then she asked me how much they paid....how in the world would I know that?

Diana** I can see why you are having trouble sleeping. Have they made any head way with the investigation? So sad! How is your knee? My mom was surprised that I had a load of laundry in today. She thought she had it all done....lol

Laura** sounds like you really enjoyed your new workouts. It was tempting to look it up but I'm gong to be a really good girl right now. I enjoy the strength DVD in asylum. I've thought about pulling it out lately. I still need to order my dress for DHs graduation.

THERE....I'm all caught up! I will check back in tomorrow!

Lori

 

[gidget1978]

Good morning

I'm happy Im all caught up. Last nights novel will give you gals something to read while you are sipping your coffees!

I am going for a run in the next 30 or somy in laws are going to watch the boys for me. It's probably going to be chilly this early in the morning. Time to start layering!

Oh...I found THE dress this morning...just hope it fits. According to my measurements I should take xs....I would have felt more comfortable ordering a s but it was there:
Le Château: Dress Shop 878

I also tried to order shoes but when I clicked submit it kept telling me i could not edit the order. I didn't want to reorder until I knew it didn't go through. I haven't received an email regarding it so I have a feeling it didn't work. The shoes were burgendy cause the boys are wearing suits with burgendy shirts.

Aright....I will bbl!

Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hey.

I overslept so no time to be chatty. Gotta get ready to go to class. I finally got the email with the link to fill out all of the new hire paperwork at 7:15 last night. I will take care of that today after class hopefully.

No cardio for me y'day. Just didn't have time. If we get out of class early again maybe I can do some. If not, it'll have to wait until tmrw.

Ok, gotta run! BBL!

Hi Ladies,

I ended up doing Original Bootcamp, cardio & core only. I had some deliverables due yesterday and didn't make it to bodypump class.

DS has been so sick..I finally got Dr. to call in a prescription at 5:30 last night and I had to pick it up by 6pm. He's missed the last 2 football games and isn't playing today either. I hope these meds kick in soon, he is just so miserable.

Went out to Karaoke with some friends last night. The DJ was new...hate to slam people when they are new...hopefully he'll get the hang of it. Karaoke didn't start until 8:30, normally starts at 8. We tried to request some dance tunes but were told they weren't ready yet and were streaming pandora. It was still pretty fun. DH even went for a bit and sang too!

The plan for today is Lower Body Blast and possibly a cardio w/o too. As of late, I'm just too tired after doing one w/o to do the other. In my younger days this was norm...aging sucks...and all these little signs don't help matters.

Wendy-first off, congrats on the job front! You deserve it and it's putting you on the path to what you really want to be doing. You've started the necessary education and now you have a foot in the door too!

Lori-The dress is beautiful. Did you decide what you want wear over it, if anything? Hopefully you won't need to be there until after the Christmas Holiday. How often will you need to relocate? That answer would probably help determine if you want to rent or buy. The suggestion of renting first is probably for the best to start with. So did you order Asylum 2? I'm definitely buying it....just have to wait for the end of the month to come around!

Laura-You were probably due for a rest day anyway! Can't wait to order A2. Upper Elite...sounds tough! I take my ipod nano when I run and that's it. DH told me start carrying the pepper spray again which I haven't taken with me in years, it has a little clip and I can easily clip it to my shorts. Good to hear that DH is coming around and willing to look at pups. You can't replace one dog with another, but it will help fill the void and keep Toots company too!

I think I've drank a pot of coffee this morning so better go put this caffeine to good use with Lower Body Blast!

Hello.

Well, my second class is complete and I still haven't fallen asleep!

Since I didn't get to do my cardio y'day, my boys ate a late lunch and I just had a snack, I am going to do my cardio NOW before starting dinner. We may eat kind of late tonight but no one is starving and we will be up later anyway so who cares! DS is requesting that I make pizza. I told him I'd be happy to but he has to come to the store with me to buy what I need for it. Let's see if he changes his mind now....

Diana:: Glad you had fun last night despite the new DJ. Everyone is a beginner at some point and has to start some where! This is one of my biggest fears with becoming a trainer. I fear clients in the beginning won't understand this.... TY re the job! I'm super excited! Starting to work at the gym while taking the certification course should really help boost my confidence and prepare me for moving into being a trainer there once I'm certified. I should be comfortable in the gym already which will be a big help! Hope DS feels better soon! Great job with the BC premix! How was lower body blast?

Lori:: I hate losing power! How long was it out for?? Love the dress! Hope it fits well! I'm sure you'll look great in it! Maybe your mom thought that along with knowing that there is a need for training in the Cold Lake area, she also thought you were given or researched info on the pay scale.

Ok, time to swallow the rest of this coffee and get to my work out! Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance! YIKES!

BBL or ITAM!

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

I have absolutely nothing on the go today. I was thinking when I woke up what time I should do my workout and then I realized that there's no need to think about the time Normally there are kids here or I have to work around some time frame. I thought it was suppose to rain today but as the sun is coming up I can see the blue sky....maybe today will be a run outside and weights. Ill do the weights soon and run when DD gets up.

I went for a 13k run yesterday. My pace was the best yet. I ran a 4:39 k...I wish I knew how to convert that to miles. It probably isnt that hard if I looked up my time and distance and use the pace calculator on the Internet. Then DS had a busy afternoon....from one thing to the next. I did manage to get a 15 min nap on the couch. Getting up at 5:30 takes its toll when you go to bed after 12

I have the kids all day Monday and Tuesday...there's no school. When I have kids all day I wonder how I managed all summer and they aren't even bad. I thought about getting into child care when I first move, just to give me time to feel the place out and make some money while not paying for child care myself but I'm really not cut out to be a sitter.

Diana** yeah there is nothing good about getting old. I have this conversation all to often. I haven't started feeling the effects of it yet but I'm sure my time is coming! I def have to wear something over the dress. I may borrow a wrap from a friend but I may even need a coat over that. Their winters are cold. It's colder there then what it is here. But their summers are warmer...it's kind of confusing. DS wore shorts to gymnastics yesterday DH couldn't believe it when I told him. How is DS feeling? What's wrong with him? I haven't been out since DH left. The girls want to plan a night to go out and there aren't that many weekends left...it's kind of crazy when I think about it. We leave on the 29th. I haven't ordered those workouts and I probably won't. Not now anyway. I have to start being really careful with our money (the little we have) b/c we are in the home stretch now...even if it means no more lulu....and I really needed some too. I get a little stressed some times and then I realize, I haven't asked for any help financially over the last 5 months. The bills have been more and the pay less. DHs business use to pay the truck payment and the cell phone bill, now I am doing that on my own. The truck payment is almost $600 and the cell bill last month was $400!!!!! We were charged long distance charges and have been reimbursed so this months bill should be a lot cheaper. I only have one more round of bills before DH is done! So I shouldn't be stressed cause imagine how stressed I'd be if I didn't have any money to pay those bills and had to be asking for help??? Now that would be stress!

Wendy** how was school yesterday?? Did you learn anything new. When will you be starting the new job? I looked on the job bank for jobs in cold lake but there wasnt much to pick from. Our family (DHs mostly) have some neg comments from time to time. We are moving to the land of gas and oil...things are expensive but people get paid more so it works out in the end. Hes still feeding his parents hope that we will still be living here and I told him yesterday to stop. Yesterday she ask if Dave had talked his way into staying and asked if this was for real? Then she says that we are better off renting cause we will only be gone for 18 m or so. I told her that a posting was 4-5 years and she said , yeah but he's going to put in for a transfer right away so you won't be gone that long. It boils my blood b/c then when I talk to him he's all excited and I am the one who breaks the news to his parents. Even if we only live there for 18 m-2 yrs, might never get back here and we might get there and love it.....ugh! Just irritates me that he does that.

Laura** hope you are having a good weekend!

I'm going to make some banana bread now and refill this empty coffee cup. Time to get moving!

Bbl!
Lori

Hi ladies,

I didn't workout yesterday...just didn't feel like it...GGGRRR. Today is original BodyMax and I may start off with SS Lower Body Blast to get my leg work in. I may choose my own workouts since I don't really care for a couple of the w/o's on the rotation this week...like KickMax.

DH was notified we have a bot on one of our computers. Last time this happened it was on Jerod's computer so I started scanning that one first and am scanning my laptop too.

Lori-sounds like your days are all out on the go, or nothing at all. I did the conversion for you....Goodness you are fast one...7:29/mile! It looks like the cost of living is quite high in Cold Lake. Hopefully DH will be compensated for that while you are there. I'm guessing you mean December 29th you'll have to be there. Have you decided if DD will be staying with your parents or in-laws? I know that will be tough, but I also understand how hard it would be for her to change schools when she so close to finishing HS. DH shouldn't be leading on his parents...and leaving you to tell them the truth. Hope you enjoy your run. Our temps are supposed to be in the 70's all week. Normally we have blown out our sprinklers by now, but are still watering the lawn.

Wendy-did you cave and make pizza last night? I pulled some pork chops out of the freezer for tonight. Hoping DH will cook them on the grill and I can throw together a salad and some roasted veggies!

Laura-hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

 

[gidget1978]

Hi Girls,

The baby is having a later nap and then we are off to my inlaws for dinner. If he doesn't wake soon, Im gonna have to wake him

Just did some research on the city of Cold lake. There is more to do there, then here...not surprising. I also looked up some rental properties...oh my! I have some adjusting to do...that's all I can say.

My workout was AB/35 mins of cardio and the leg work of MM. I am feeling the tightness in my hammies already, hopefully it's a good sign of DOMS to come.

Diana** We leave here to go to DH's graduation on the 29th of Nov, we return home on the 4th and I guess we start gathering up our belongings from there. I have a feeling that they will be giving us the 10 day range. His boss said he wouldn't make it unrealistic and tell him to be there in 4-5 days...but I don't think he will give him until after Christmas either! Right now DD says that she is staying with my SIL. I am hoping she might change her mind when we start packing things up and it becomes a reality, kids just live in the moment. Hope you got your workout in today!

I may pop back again tonight before bed!

Lori

Good Evening Girls.

Today was Church after CCD, a quick food store hit and bike riding with DH and DS for 40 mins which just about KILLED ME!!!! For as much crazy cardio as I do, this bike riding thing is insanely hard for me! IDGI! I read a chapter in my PT text book a little while ago and now I'm making pizza for dinner at DS' request. He's been asking for it for like three days-the poor kid!!!

Lori:: Enjoy dinner at the inlaws. How far away are they? Same street? So what exactly will your adjustments be when you move do you think now that you've looked at the available rental properties? What has you saying that? And if they expect you to move within 2 weeks after DH graduates, who will be paying for your rent in the new town b/c chances are real good your house will NOT be sold yet!?! Not sure when I will OFFICIALLY start working but I completed all of the pre-employment paperwork online last night while cooking dinner and they will pay me for my time! Class was good. It's definitely holding my interest for the most part! Ofcourse some topics are more interesting then others but I'm definitely learning something, wise-arse! Plus after sitting through the class and taking notes and then reading the chapters in the book that the class material was taken from I am definitely loving having an actual class to go to! The instructor only covers what the test covers plus a few extra things he, as a former p/t, feels are very important to our careers. He also makes the information much easier to understand then the book does! So all in all I think I made a fabulous choice in certs. Even if I end up needing to get ACE, etc certified down the road this was definitely the right choice for a starter cert for me and the fact that I scored a job with a gym that I know for a fact accepts it (AND will let me intern with them too!) is perfect!

Ok, dinner is ready! I didn't forget you Diana...just out of time! I'll catch up when I come back later or ITAM!

 

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

I'm so happy the baby finally cut that tooth, he's been sleeping until almost 7 the last few nights. When I hear him wake I think it's a lot earlier until I look at the time. I guess I'm just use to being woken up a few times throughout the night.

Rainy ole day here. I'm not sure what my workout plan will be. I have training at 9:30 and kids all day but most times I don't even know they are here...it just ties me to the house. I'm leaning towards GS UB and cardio, I usually start my week with GS. I would like to change it but nothing works my UB like those workouts.

I feel a little better about the housing situation. I found a few houses that were pretty decent and the price wasn't outrageous. I think renting at first might be out of the question, it's just to much...it would be cheaper to buy a house.

Wendy** that's pretty sweet that you got paid to fill out the application! Lol. A few people have said that it shouldn't be any trouble for me to get a job with the town of cold lake teaching classes but I'm afraid teaching ain't my thing. I guess if I got into it...I'd be open to boot camp instead of a full step routine. I'd never remember the moves! When I spoke about adjusting, I was talking about housing. I'm use to my house and chances are I'm not going to be able to afford that there. Rent was outrageous. And it's weird, the houses that are nice on the outside aren't that nice in the inside and vice versa. But ya, we need this house to sell first. I don't know what we will do if it doesn't.

I will bbl!

Lori

 

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Ladies.

Well surprisingly enough I don't seem to have DOMS from the bike ride y'day.

Today's work out plan is bells and yoga but the specific work outs I do will depend on my new job! The manager mentioned my coming in today to sign a few things and then "going from there" but I don't have a time or anything. Not sure if she wants me to actually begin working or not either. I have to talk to her this morning to find out and then I can plan my day/workout based on that.

Lori:: Buying is always better then renting if you can do it. Um...they sure don't give you lots of time to sell your house! Jeez! You would think they'd give him a housing allowance for a while so that he can live/work where they want him while the house is up for sale! Could mean more separation if you needed to stay at the house while is was on the market but it's better then trying to pay for two residences at once! Some PT certs allow you to teach bootcamp classes. You don't necessarily need a group exercise cert for that so if it's something you might want to do, you should give your certifying org a call and find out! Yup, I thought it was nice too that they pay me to do the pre-employment p/w from home but it actually makes sense! This is the paperwork you would normally do on your first day on the job so if they want you to do it at another time then it's only right that they pay you when you think about it!

Diana:: Sorry you didn't feel like working out the other day. It happens. Usually when that happens to me I eventually DO want to work out but by the time that happens it's too late. Leg work BEFORE BM!? Wow! How did you survive that one!? Oh I hate computer viruses! I hope you don't run into problems because of it!

BBL!

Hi Ladies,

I had a serious case of laziness over the weekend. No workouts at all to report. I'm back on track today. Not sure what I'm doing, leaning towards a full body weight workout this morning and a short run at lunch.

Lori-I did a quick peak on Cold Lake and it is very expensive to live there. That's why I'm hoping DH will be compensated for that. It's hard to sell let alone move around the holidays. Spring/summer is the best time for that. It still might be better to rent for a couple months until you find something you really like. I wouldn't rush into the first house you come across.

Wendy-Sounds the PT class is working perfectly for you. I tend to stay more focused and get more out of an Instructor led class than an online class. We had grilled pork chops for dinner last night. DS1 is working 7:30-5:30 and DS3 lost his job....so I'm going back to trying to make dinner on a more regular basis. I prepared the Chicken Enchilada soup last night and just have to add chicken and start the crock pot this morning.

Laura-any more reports on A2? I know you did them over the weekend!

bbl

 

[Poochy]

MON

Hello Ladies!!

Yes DI - I did the A2 over weekend - here goes my reviews:
A2- Power Legs: - YOWZA - I started off w/the bb red loop ummmmmm note to self .. DONT DO THAT .. I quickly realized he was not gonna take them off so I dropped down to the green one! He starts off w/plyo cardio all done w/the bands on the ankles - MY BUTT AND HIPS were ON FIRE!!!! he does ladder drills w/the bands on plyo w/bands on then moves into traditional stuff - it wasnt as hard as I thought it was gonna be - but the butt was FRIED - the last 6 minutes was nothing but complete torture tho - he does low end pulses w/weights w/different squats and plia' and lunge foot positions - I thought I was GONNA DIE!!!
A2 - Ab Shredder: one word .. EEEEOUCH - no sit ups - all plank torture and v-sits!!!
A2- Upper Elite yes it is as hard as it looks .. in fact for me HARDER - it should be called pushup hell w/some added chest and bis torture - the entiere workout was mostly pushups - done in every position imaginable - and some that certainly are NOT DOABLE for me - I modified most of them - simply couldnt do it he uses weights for more chest, bis, shoulder, and tri torture - my entire upper body shook for most of the afternoon ytdy - figured today I wouldnt be able to move - DOMS: lats, shoulders, CHEST and bis (not as bad as I was expecting tho - not yet)

Lori -LOOOOOVE the dress .. gorgeous!!! you will be stunning in that!! and wow - your time running is INSANE!! you have to have wings on you girl!!! WTG .. pass me some of that gogo juice!! LOLOLOL you would leave me in the dust!!!

Wendy - yes sounds like you made an excellent decision on the class!! glad you are enjoying it - and glad you got the call back on the job - woohoo!! yes I think you are moving in the right direction!!! and JOEY - OMG - saw his picture on fb - holy crapola that kid has grown - made me feel OLD!!!!!

Di - getting old sucks - but it is better than the alternative!!! I can tell my endurance is not what it used to be - my recovery is not what it used to be - and it is easier to injure! but I will keep on keeping on!! and YES you HAVE to order A2 - it is better than A1 - it is more controlled movements - combined w/controlled cardio - not the fast and furious flailing around that he did in Insanity - it is controlled HARD core plyo - weights - and body weighted exercises!!!

Today is to be A2 - back and 6 pack! SIL says it is doable lunch workout - so I am gonna try to bang that out at lunch!

We got news one of our best fishing buds is in hospital - possible lung cancer - we are so sad! and so sick of bad news - we are going to try to get to where we can see him soon I hope!! he is in Gainsville, FL hospital! say a prayer he will come thru this - he is a very special friend - and one tuff old bird!!!! we both feel like everything has changed this year - this has just been one helluva SUCKY A$$ year!!!

OK .. better run - have a great one!!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hello again...

Well, I called the gym just before 9am to find out what's next and I was told the mgr was busy so she would call me back. Well now it's almost 1pm... I have worked out, showered and eaten and STILL no phone call! I feel a repeat of Friday coming on! It's frustrating/aggravating coz I have no idea what to expect! Am I working tmrw? Not working? IDK how to plan my day!!!GRRRRR!

My work out today was Kundalini Total Body Tune Up Burn Baby Burn and Raise Yourself Up Segments (40m), Kettlebell Bootcamp Work out #2 plus abs (25 mins) and then Muscle Max Core and Stretch segments (15m?).

...Gah! The phone just rang and I got excited but nope, it was DS's school. He fell and hurt himself on the playground so they wanted to let me know...He'll be okay though. They just call as a precaution so that we are aware...So I'm still waiting....*taps fingers on table impatiently*

Laura:: Glad you are loving A2 while I am closing in on the purchase of the original! OMG, I'm so sorry about your friend. Maybe the lung cancer diagnosis will not be the case after all? Prayers hugs thoughts to everyone involved!!!! Yeah, Joey is 7 now and big for his age. He is probably going to end up wrestling slightly older kids b/c it goes by weight, not age. Should be interesting! IF he's allowed to wrestle at all! He got into pretty big trouble y'day and now if he's not on his best behavior up until wresting starts on Nov 1, DH isn't going to let him do it! Hopefully he will behave....time will tell!!!!

Diana:: I am not a pork chop fan per say so any recipe I see made with chops that sounds good gets turned into a tenderloin recipe! I made pizza last night finally with a side salad. Saturday night pizza wasn't happening b/c I didn't have the time to shop for what I needed by the time I finished working out so I cooked what we had in the house. I ended up making chicken breast sandwiches, pierogies and corn. It was very good! Crock pot cooking during the week while working full time is the best deal ever! Let me know how the soup turns out! I'm going to be trying more soup recipes myself over the course of fall/winter. If I had to take this PT exam (closed book 100 multi choice written exam plus a live practical training a mock client) after having only done home-study I can almost garuntee you that I wouldn't pass b/c I wouldn't understand the material well enough! I think the only reason I passed the first PT cert exam was b/c it was open book and that's not good! It's fine if you need a secondary cert but as a person just entering the field, how much can that possibly teach you???

Lori:: I wrote back to you before so all you get is a ! LOL

Off to do housework and study some!
BBL!

 

[Poochy]

lunch - back and 6 pack done - but dah-yum!!

All I gotta say SIL LIED (or is in much better shape than my fat@$$) !! back and 6 pack .. is NOT a lunch workout - my mascara is all over my face and my hair is in a soggy clip!!! .. now it was not a cardio fest - but he did burpees - plank knee ins - plank wide knee ins - plank sprints - plank balances - all IN BETWEEN the weight work - it was a great workout - and prbly could have put 100% in if it were not my lunch hour and I didnt have to come back and look 1/2 way presentable .. LOL!!! and BTW .. those dang planks did NOT help my sore chest and shoudlers .. CRRRAAAAPPPP!! I am really gonna be sore tmrw!!!! I was wondering why he didnt do any lat rows in Upper Elite - it is b/c he did ever variation of them in THIS one!!

my core and back and chest and arms will ALL be sore tmrw!!!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hello...

Posting while I am waiting for DH to be ready to go out to eat. It was my idea to go out coz I'm aggravated and don't feel like cooking ...I never got a return call from the gym by the time I got home with DS at 3pm so I picked up the phone. It rang for 5 minutes. FIVE MINUTES!!!! Then when someone FINALLY picked it up they put me on for the manager and there I sat for another FIVE MINUTES until I finally just hung up! REALLY??? UGH!!!!

I thought about trying again before 6pm but forget it. I'm not. I called twice. I'll try again tmrw morning I guess...

OK DH is ready...BBL!

 

[rmrmr]

Hi Ladies,

I did SS lower body blast this morning and planned on running at lunch. As I've mentioned a few times, Jerod is very sick. I ended up taking him back to the Dr. for the 3rd time in 2 weeks and he's being treated for suspected pertussis (whooping cough). He can't go back to school until he's been on this new medication for a week, or if his results come back negative on Wednesday. I'm so pissed they didn't do the pertussis test the first time we were there. He's now missing his last week of football (before the playoffs), and a choir concert that counts as his grade. He's struggling in his AP classes and can't really afford to miss a week of school. I just feel so bad for him. The Dr. said this outbreak is due to the number of kids not being vaccinated, and they are also finding that the vaccine doesn't last as long as they had anticipated.

One of my coworkers is a huge Shaun T. fan...and we just purchased Rev Abs on a groupon. She just got it and tried a couple of the workouts....she said it's very slow moving...isn't everything slow compared to Insanity! Can't wait to try those out when she's done.

Laura-your such and enabler....I just popped over to Beach Body and placed my A2 order. It will be on my AMEX due next month...all is good! How long are the A2 workouts? Hopefully not longer than an hour. Plus we have Xtrain that will be here...I'm guessing End of Nov...Beg of Dec too.

Wendy-not sure I would like to be waiting around waiting for my boss call.....and ruining my day waiting. I know our gym is very busy and it's hard to get a hold of our director. I've been asking if they will consider teaching TRX or suspension training. My trainer is certified in it now. She said they put the anchors in the basketall gym......not sure when we would ever be able to use them in there. They should've put the anchors in the aerobic room IMO or elsewhere in the rec ctr. Pork isn't my favorite either, but I get sick of red meat and I'm the only one who likes chicken. DH cooked the boneless pork chops on the grill...after he seasoned them with some kind of rub...delicious!

Lori-Hope DH's company pays for a housing search weekend(s) for you. You should have the opportunity to schedule numerous viewings over a weekend or something. My company provides "corporate housing" while you look for a permanent place. It's basically suites with kitchens at a nearby hotel but it gives you the opportunity to orient yourself with the new location and see the different neighborhoods etc.

Good Morning

Yesterday's workouts were all over the place. I started with S&H chest, got the kids lunch, did back (cause the baby was still napping) and when DD came home from school I went for a 10.4 k run. My chest and back Is nice and sore from yesterday's workout. I'm gonna finish the UB stuff in S&H today.

It's hard to type when so many people are talking to me....and it's not voices in my head!

Wendy** I would be so rotted. My boss is like that. He use to have his mind made up who he was hiring but he would go on about his day and not call them. He'd always get sidetracked with something else, it was very annoying. Hopefully she will call you today. Geez! I'm hoping my house will sell soon. It's going to be hard to buy another home without this one being sold! But housing is suppose to sky rocket in cold lake (which will be great for us when we leave) but we need to buy before that happens.

Laura** sorry to hear about your friend!!! That's terrible! I think you are trying to get us to buy these workouts!! I would if I knew I was going to use them. I sold insanity yesterday for $40.

Diana** a weekend of no workouts! Well!!! At least you feel rested! Jerod still isn't well? The RCMP will pay for a house hunting trip but I can't see us going right now. The time frame is just so short. I hate to say it but we may have to buy a house by viewing it online! And who knows, maybe we will find someone who knows someone and get them to look at it.

Alright....I'm surprised I wrote this with all this racket!
