Hi and good morning,

I am back in Germany. I will catch up on personals today.

Have a great day and workout!
 
Hi girls,

The date is correct, I wrote it the German way. We write the day first than the month. Sorry, wasn’t thinking straight this morning.

I am getting ready to take my dogs for a walk. BBL!
 
Hi,:D

Sorry, I didn’t check in while I was in the states. DH and I worked our butts off every day. We had a lot of damage on our roof, carpets and A.C. The roof was over $12,000. Thank goodness the insurance covered everything. We had to rip out all the carpets in the house, since I hate carpets we decided to tile all the bedrooms (4 bedrooms), they were moldy. My living room and dinning room was already tiled. We hired someone from Home Depot, wasn’t cheap let me tell you! The stress came with the mess and dust from the tiles. My house looked like on the clean house show, a total mess. We had stuff in the living room and dinning room for 5 days, I was going nuts. I hate messes. I was throwing so much stuff out, DH looked at me like I was crazy,LOL! I was tried of boxing it up (I boxed up all my dishes and décor stuff), now I have everything in boxes. No more dusting for the kids. At first I didn’t wanted to box anything up, but I think I already told you guys at first DD and her boyfriend wanted to move in the house. I wasn’t to crazy about the thought from the beginning. DH talked me into it. Well turned out DD’s BF wanted his family to stay almost every weekend, that didn’t click with me at all. We have a security system in the house, we can not give out the code to anybody otherwise the insurance will not pay us a dime in case of a brake in. We are connected directly to the fire department and the police station. We didn’t feel safe giving the code to this family; I don’t know them that well. I was afraid on all the damage they all would cause to the house. People usually don’t take care of your stuff the way you do! Our A.C wasn’t working when we arrived, the next day we had someone come out and fix it.
Not sure what the roof looks like, we had to leave on Tuesday. They still worked on the roof that day. I am not worried about that, since we have a 10 year warranty on the roof.
I still left a little mess (stuff that needed to be packed up) for the kids. Oh, well! I worked my butt off for over 2 ½ weeks. I did get my hair done on Sunday, I love it! And I did a little shopping on Sunday in Banana Republic (outlet). Love that store! I think it’s my favorite store now! I am not even gonna post how my money I spent, LOL! Let’s just say, I filled up 2 giant suitcases. I came with empty suitcases.

I did walked the dogs today, not sure if I have the energy to do more?

BTW, I lost weight in the states. Not sure how I did it:rolleyes: I only ran once last Monday, I did CCV!. Maybe it was all the stress I was going thought?

Hi to everyone that follows.
 
Today was cardio and I did Cardio Coach #4. Haven't done this one in a long time. Had a pretty good workout even though I wanted to stay in bed.

After that I did the Ab work from Step, Jump & Pump.

CARDIO HR STATS:
45 minutes total
5 minutes below zone
11 minutes in zone
29 minutes above zone
2.5 miles travelled
363 calories burned


Belinda - WELCOME BACK!!! I'll read what you wrote when I get time later. Gotta get to work!
 
Good Morning,

Tonite is KCMs muscle definition and abs. Did KCMs athletic step last nite and my knee hurt all nite long. I couldn't get the steps right and my leads were off going to have to watch that one again.

Debbie-good job on the cardio have a good day at work. Did you ever hear from that other job you interviewed for?

Belinda-sounds like you did get in some workouts that helped you loose wt.
 
Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. About to head to this conference. The weather here is a bit dreary right now. I should have time to run after the meetings are over with this afternoon. The treadmill isn't the best, but it'll do. I probably should have gotten up early and ran to get an energy boost, but I didn't sleep so swell - different bed, surroundings, noises...all that sort of thing.

Heather
 
Welcome Back Belinda!!!...what a crazy few weeks you've had, no wonder you lost weight!..How is your back feeling? Are you cleared to work out now?... The house situation sounds nuts. Glad things are better though.

Debbie: Good CC today! And WTG on getting those abs in!!

Roxie: Hope your knee feels better today.

Heather: Saw that you ran last night after your trip! It's funny, that's what I felt like doing after our drive home from Hershey PA in June. Felt like running! ...but we had to unpack, so I didn't. But i understnad the feeling.

Nora: Sorry your hand is weak/hurting. You push through those workouts though, Amazing!!

My plan is to get some shopping done this morning (Walmart, possibly the Mall), and then come back and run early afternoon at the park.

Oh, and I'll try to get some abs in now, while hubby is in the shower....

I did STS: DISC 6 yesterday: Legs. My 2nd leg workout from MESO 1. DOMS are not as bad as last week, thankfully!! But still feeling my butt talking to me....
 
Hi girls!

Belinda - so good to have you back! I thought about you travelling the last couple of days, glad you are home safe.
Day before yesterday I did LIC. You know, I really like that workout - lots of good band segments.
Yesterday I was just too busy to workout. And my husband is upstairs possibly with the swine flu. Doc says CDC too overwhelmed to test. Doc said if he feels better today, it is probably just the flu. If he feels worse today, then it's the swine flu. I'm not so sure it isn't just some upper-respiratory thing from switching to graveyard and not being able to get adequate rest. But who am I?
Guess what? I got my STS!! It looks fabulous. I've got some 1RMs to work on today, and maybe I'll do HSC also. I'm not sure when I'll start STS...maybe next week. Yeah!! I'm "in the club"!
Heather, hope your conference goes well and you find decent food.
Roxie, how's your husband's no-smoking coming? How's your DD?
Hello to Debbie and Nora!!
Have a great day....

Hello to Debbie and Nora!!
Have a great day....

Nora-I discovered last night that the no smoking thing not going as well as I thought and DD got her results back today and everything is normal just some kind of freak thing going on.
 
Belinda - Wow, you went through a lot. So what was the outcome of having your dd's boyfriends parents going there on the weekends. I find that odd.

Roxie - Funny you should ask that question today. I just got a call from the place I interviewed at and they placed the same Help Wanted ad in our paper as the one I applied for. So I asked the girl if they filled the accounting position (there are 8 positions to fill at this company) and she said no. I found that strange because any of us that interviewed that day could have done the job. Now I'm wondering what the heck they are looking for? It's only part-time for goodness sakes, it's not like it's a corporate controller position or anything. Kind of made me mad.

Wendy - Woo hoo on STS! You will LOVE it!

Debbie-that would make me mad to she could have offered and explanation as to what exactly they were looking for.
 
Hi ladies,

I just did Total Body Sculpting, didn’t had the energy to do something else.

Debbie, nice job with CCV6 and ab workout today. BTW, nice weight loss, girl!

Roxie, have fun with KCMs muscle definition and abs tonight. Hope your husband is ok, too.

Heather, have fun with your meeting and run today. I hear you on not getting enough sleep. I feel like I haven’t slept in weeks.

Chris, yeah! It has been a few crazy weeks, hope things low down. No I haven’t been cleared to work out. Need to see the doc again next week. My back feels a little better, no more pain up my spine. But my lower back is still bordering me. I think I worked to much in the states (cleaning, squatting, reaching for things).
WTG, on your leg workout yesterday. Have fun with your run today and shopping.

Thanks Wendy! It feels good to be back, although I miss my kids. I am so sorry to hear your DH has swine flu, he will be in my prayers. Yeah, on STS! If I get the ok to workout again I will start with you.


Not sure how long I will stay awake today,I am catching up on sleep. Hope to be back later.
 
Debbie-that would make me mad to she could have offered and explanation as to what exactly they were looking for.

Well, the lady I talked too wasn't the one who interviewed us. So I didn't want to put her on the spot. But I'm still frustrated. I know I could have done that job with my hands tied behind my back. :(
 
Checking in -

I did some more 1RMs this morning. Then I did HSC. 69min/420cal.
How frustrating Debbie. If they could just let you know something! I mean, really? Did they forget they already interviewed several competent people for those positions?
DH is feeling pretty good today. Had a slight fever and aches over night. He's just congested now. So I have no idea what that means as far as a diagnosis....??
Oldest DD has a soccer game tonight. DH will not be coaching - he'll be staying home. So the co-coaches will take over tonight. I love to watch my kids play soccer! My younger DD scored a goal with her face on Tuesday! Poor thing kicked to score, it bounced off of the goalie who was running towards her and the ball came back and hit her square in the nose - whipped her head backwards. I ran out and scooped her up - she got a bloody nose out of it. I was told after the game that the ball actually went into the goal and counted!
Hope nothing like that happens tonight....enjoy your evening, ladies!
 
I have come to somewhat of a decision I don't think I want to be married anymore. I am tired of being the one that is always trying to make things work an DH not thinking about what he is doing by lying to me. I believe he is out smoking right now while I am cooking supper he wasn't here when I got home.
 
Wow, Roxie....wow. There are always peaks and valleys. Is this just another valley? Do you have peaks? I'm sorry things are so frustrating for you right now. Hopefully things will look better over the next few days. Chin up, my friend...
 
Hi girls!;)

I applaud you all for working out today and getting it done. I feel like I need to applogise since I wasn't able to complete mine.:(

Here's what I did/attempted to do:

I was supposed to do Kick, Punch & Crunch but substituted in the ring with amy bento thought there would be less jumping around as movement causes pain for me right now.

Amy Bento - In the Ring= 75 Min
GoalCalories burned if 75 min completed= 717
I'm in a lot of pain today had to get an emergency dr. visit in. Apparently its either a bladder infection or Ovarian issues on left side. I'm hoping its the bladder thing since I now have some antibiotics for it.

I wasn't able to complete this workout because of excruciating pain, sorry. I only did 25 minutes of it before I couldn't take the pain anymore and quit.
Calories burned= 239

Not sure If I'll workout tomorrow I want to but I don't know how I'll feel. I'll still check in with ya all.

Have a great night!

Hugs!;):)

Nora
