Morning Coolers,

We had snow this morning, and for some reason our dog was in a rush to get the walk done! :D I really got in a good fast walk, I'm thinking that she had the sent of some animal, but she didn't do a lot of stopping. There where no tracks as far as I coulds see. I don't know that anything would be out in the weather we are having. :eek: After that I got in Disc 16 Chest, Shoulders & Triceps.

Patricia, Will take a peek at the pics when I get the chance, sounds like you did a lot of work this weekend. I'm getting my butt into the dentist, just to make sure that I don't have something major going on with my teeth.

Kim, Hope all is going well with the moving.

Have a great day!
 
Hey Coolers

Lets see, C&W - step premix along with AB Cir Stability Ball done!

Laurie - you seem to be having some teeth pain lately so good to get it checked out. I haven't even started to look for a new Dentist since the move. My old one I went to for about 20 yrs but its too far away but I'm scared to find someone around here. I'm used to getting my teeth cleaned every 3 mos.

We're expecting a major snow storm overnight. Probably some of what you had Laurie - sooo not looking forward to the drive into work tomorrow.

Hope the move is going well now Kim.
 
Morning Coolers,

I'm home from work, because we where hit with a major blizzard. Just got our driveway cleared out, and right now the sun is shining. No workout for me yet, was planning on a leg workout. Will see how I feel, right now I'm cold and wet.

Patricia, I'm hoping that you are not getting what we got. There is a snow drift in front of our house that is taller than my dd's. :eek:

Have a great day!
 
Laurie - sounds like you guys got hit hard with the storm. We only got 1/2 of what they predicted. Most people stayed home from work so the drive in and back was quite easy:p DH snow plowed 2x today though.

Off to do Disc 11 - Back/Tris.
 
Good morning! I have to say that moving is exhausting! The main stuff is moved in and unpacked, we still have about one truck load of stuff at the old house so will have to go back there for that and to do a good cleaning this weekend. We still have the old house until Feb 12. Of course, the new house has lots of odds and ends that aren't finished but talking with people that doesn't seem uncommon.

One of the jurors was sick yesterday so we got cancelled and I was able to help DH with stuff around the house. I think I would have to be on my death bed to not go in, it was even in the paper this morning "Juror ill, trial delayed":rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm sure noticing the extra room in the house, in a good way and bad. It feels so less crowded but it seems a long walk up to my bedroom.

So it sounds like you both felt part of the blizzard! No more snow here but we already have more than average, DH has been trying to clear the driveway, the builder never cleared anything just drove over it with their big trucks so it's like a foot deep of hard packed snow. Is the snow done now?

Love the fireplace in your basement! What work do you have left to do?

Have you got those teeth checked Laurie?

No workouts for me all week hopefully I'll get going next week maybe the Feb rotation, looks hard:eek:
 
GRRRr just lost my post and it was long and almost done!

Kim - I saw the Feb rotation and thought never in a million years! I don't think you had a rest week this week:D You must be happy to have one more hurdle done and over with and now just get thru the jury duty and life hopefully will get back to normal. I saw the headlines - poor juror - good thing they can't name names!

We're aiming to be complete by about the 21st I think - it'll be close. We have some custom cabinetry to come (it was suppose to be hear yesterday but "the storm" delayed the delivery so everything else is moved back now. Once that comes and is installed in the bar area, we're having stone installed around the bar and fireplace. The hardwood flooring is sitting in our livingroom and should start going in next Thursday hopefully. Trim should start this weekend and I can't finish painting until thats complete. So a few more weeks to go yet.

Just completed STS Athletic Step and off to look for some dinner.

My life at work is getting a bit jumbled up. One of our site project accountants is transferring to Ottawa so I'm moving to site to finish his project. At least for another year or so. I'm looking forward to it but NOT the commute. I'll have to take 3 different trains to get there and I think over 1hr commute. I start on Monday and based on the time the train leaves here I doubt I'll get there b/4 8:30 so 1/2hr late for work. We will see. That's the only thing stressing me out as I'm handicapped as to how early I can drop DS off at daycare.
 
Morning Ladies,

Sorry I wasn't posting yesterday, spent most of my time catching up from being off work for the day and going to the dentist. I went to my dr yesterday morning, and he said I needed a root canal. My dr doesn't do root canals on molars anymore, so I went to a specialist. I now love this specialist, whatever he put in those shots to numb my mouth it worked super great! I didn't feel a thing! :D Only problem is that I went to bed at 7:30 last night, and didn't wake up until this morning. I was still really tired after waking up, so didn't workout. I'm planning on doing my Back & Bicep workout after work tonight.

Kim, You have been doing workout moving all that stuff around. Guess it is kind of hard for people not to know that you have the day off of jury duty. That is to bad. :(

Patricia, Dang on the commute to work, that has to be frustrating. You and your DH have been doing a great job on that basement looks really nice.

Have a great day!
 
Oh Patricia, that commute does not sound like fun at all!! How long will you have to do that for? Is your ds still going to daycare at the next door neighbour's?

Glad you're getting some pain relief on the tooth Laurie? Any idea when you'll get the root canal done?

I feel like I complain alot lately but I'm totally exhausted. I go to court for the day and come home mentally drained and then move/unpack in the evening and get physically drained. I've been dragging myself out of bed the last couple of days. Yesterday and today have very complicated/intense technical testimony and it's amazing how draining it is.

We went by the old house yesterday as ds was playing hockey close by. We filled up both cars with stuff left at the house and there is still more stuff! The house looks super dirty, so not looking forward to finishing off the moving/cleaning this weekend.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
 
Afternoon Coolers

No w/o yesterday - just too long of a day and I didn't sleep well at all stressing about my commute. But all calmed down and in another week I'm sure it will all be routine for me. I've never had to worry about catching a train on time and stressing out about missing it. Not looking forward to that. If I miss the train I need to get the next one is 10min later so not really too bad! Told my work that I'll work 8:30-4:30 no lunch and they're okay with that. I'm doubthing I'll get there by 8:30 though:(

Have to get my leg w/o in today then M1 will be done. I'll just do some cardio next week and start up M2 maybe mid week. I won't be able to complete M2 b/4 I go on vacation though.

Laurie - I tell you the drugs they have are so good now. What a difference a root canal was for me a couple years ago compared to 20 yrs ago:p No wonder you slept to much. The dentist is still stressful. I'm pretty stiff just lying there for a cleaning.

Kim - I guess you're hard at work house moving right about now. Moving MAX and CleaningMAX. Then the real fun begins trying to figure out where you decided to put something in the kitchen:p:D I certainly don't think you've been complaining at all! A lot is happening right now that would make anyone go insane:eek:
 
Morning Coolers,

Well our Packers won the Super Bowl, and I'm exhausted from being all hyped up. :eek:

Saturday was a super busy day, got in a TaeBo workout, oldest DD went on a college visit, I had to get youngest dd to dance class so wasn't able to with the oldest, and then we all had to get to my sisters for my nieces b'day party. Whew! Sunday I dedicated myself to wathcing everything Super Bowl, so I really didn't move to far from the family room all day. :rolleyes: I'm glad that I got the full experience. Now I gave the Daytona 500 to look forward to in 2 weeks. :D

Kim, So sorry to hear that you are so exhausted. Soon you will be totally in your new house, and this trial with be done.

Patricia, I know what you mean about being tense during a dentist visit. I had fingernail marks in my hands, I don't even realize that I'm doing it. I think I'm waiting for the pain to come. ;)

Hae a great day!
 
Laurie, I'm sure everyone in your neighbourhood is pretty excited about the Packers winning!! Not a very relaxing weekend for you though!

Patricia I forgot about your holiday! Something to look forward too!

Another intense day in court, things are moving along.

Yesterday I spent 5 hours cleaning the old house. I didn't think to bring along some music:rolleyes: so it was just me, an empty house and cleaning supplies. Very boring and my back is sore today! DH rented a uhaul and took another load so there are only 3 things left at the old house (one Barbie dollhouse, one street hockey net and a patio table). He works close to the old house so plans to pick up one object each day after work.

Still no workout for me yet, there still so much to do to unpack but it will come in time.
 
Morning Coolers,

Disc 32 Plyo Legs for me this morning.

Kim, Only three things left! Wonderful news. Are you able to locate everything in the kitchen yet? That is the one thing I had to get used to, was where did I put everthing. :D I don't know if I would have been able to stand being all by myself cleaning for that long.

Have a wonderful day!
 
Afternoon Coolers

Busy days at work these days what with learning how things are done on this project and getting used to the new commute:( Haven't gotten lost yet but missed my stop yesterday and went one block too far on the street car and today I was driving on autopilot to the GO station that I got on the highway instead of driving by the exit to the next intersection where I had to turn to get to the GO. So had to drive to the next highway exit and turn around:mad:

This is my active rest week and couldn't fit a w/o in yesterday. Might try something light tonight.

Kim - don't you hate the empty feeling of the house (or maybe not). I know I would have missed some noise from the radio too. Hopefully your mornings are getting easier since you're close to the school now.

Laurie - I watched the game upto the 1/2 time show (kind of boring show...) We were at in-laws and DH forgot his cheese head! He went to Wisconsin a couple years on business and brought one back.
 
Morning Coolers,

This morning was another TaeBo workout, was just in the mood to workout with Billy again. :D

We are going out to dinner with DH's family tonight, so need to pre-view the menu for Carabas before I get there. ;) And of course stick to the choice I make. :D

Patricia, Dang on the commute problems, that doesn't sound like fun at all. To bad about the cheesehead! :D I think a lot of the people wearing them at the games do that to keep their heads warm. :eek:

Kim, Hope your day is going well.

Have a wonderful day!
 
My mornings are definitely easier now without the driving and court doesn't start that early! There is some talk that we might be finished the trial earlier than expected. The Crown is calling their last witness today.

Hopefully you find a routine that works for you Patricia. Mornings need a good routine!

DH realized that he can't fit the hockey net in the SUV so will have to find someone with a truck this week. We've already rented the u-haul 2 different days and not going to rent it for one item.
 
Evenings Coolers

Tonight was CTX KB cardio only and last night was cleaning the basement for the hardwood floors that started getting installed today. YEAH.

Starting to get into a routine. The guy I'm taking over for goes on holiday tomorrow so I can finally "take over" his office and get settled and unpack etc.

Laurie - I bet for a change you didn't have to worry about being cold this year for the SB? Texas - I saw people in shorts. What kind of food is served at Carabas. Don't recognize the chain. AND did you stick to your choice!:D

Kim - glad there is light at the end of the rainbow. Funnily enough, I've been sitting in the Site Superintendent's office all week as he started jury duty on Monday:D
 
Morning Coolers,

Disc 4 Chest, Shoulders & Biceps for me this morning.

Kim, Dang on the tough emotional day! :( That would be great if they can get the trial over sooner, then you will be able to start enjoying your new home more. ;) Hope you are able to get that truck for hauling purposes. :)

Patricia, Wonderful news on the flooring! I misspelled the chain, it is Carrabbas, and they are an Italian chain. Really good food, but they don't put anything on the menu to indicate that they have "healthy items". I just had to start googling the different items, and it really surprised me that the Chicken Marsala was actually the best option. Of course I only ate one of the breast that came with the meal. I also had the Minestrone, and opted for the roasted veggies. I now know that I really don't like egg plant. :eek: Good thing there wasn't all that much in the mix. :)

Have a great day!
 
Morning Coolers

Just a quickie here.

Last night was the 1st 40min of Rhythmic Step - I like the step but the music just doesn't get me "going".

Kim - hope yesterday went better.

Laurie - whats wrong with eggplant - its tastless:)
