Daily Check In, Thursday Aug.2

[Conni]

Hi ladies,

Carmen - Let me see if I am getting this straight. All this craziness is about HAIR??

1) Wear the wig, they will get over it.

2) People say alot of stupid things around wedding times, the stress of the occasion bring out out the idiotic moments as well.

3) Give this no more attention than it deserves. Wear what you want, go and enjoy the day. Believe me, they are already seeing how stupid they are behaving and will wish they had never said ( or posted ) this stuff.

My mother passed away from cancer when I was young, and she lost her hair several times due to chemo. After awhile she realized just how trivial that was in the grand scheme of things, and didn't take her hair all that seriously. Interestingly enough, she never went gray ( she was 50), but her remaining 6 sisters and 3 brothers all had gone gray by that point.

I myself have extremely short hair, and have colored it many colors over the years ( my favorite being this really neat grape shade..but I have never been blonde). I really don't place alot of importance on my hair, I learned that valuable lesson a long time ago.

So do want you want, and give it the level of importance it deserves. The important thing is the ceremony, right?

JMTCW....

BTW - today was HR scrambled eggs premix. Ouchy!!!

Siobhan - I am not nuts about that one either, but it was a nice change from the hits and tabatas...

Annette - How are you losing all those pounds???? Fantastic!

Hi Conni,

I actually gave that Tracey Staehle one away to a fellow cathlete. And HR scrambled eggs? I've never tried that one before.

Today I did STS Meso 1 disc 3 - legs. It was good.

Annette - You sound very pleased with your efforts. Good for you.

Carmen - I'm with Conni - I don't get what the big deal is. You look amazingly happy and good with the wig on. It's just so similar to your own hair but with a lift.

Conni - I'm a natural salon blond! It goes with my thousands of freckles.

Siobhan -

I think everything takes on a new significance as a wedding gets closer, don't you?
I guess that is why the term "bridezilla" was invented...

The scrambled egg premix is the entire workout, but just in different orders. It is good, Cathe didn't put leg sections back to back or anything like that - it is just a different sequencing. Try it!

Hi Ladies - I almost talked myself out of working out tonight. thank goodness I didnt. I did Slim Sculpt (thanks S ) It was a pleasant workout when I really didnt feel like working out. I used my new weight gloves instead of small DB's. I feel stretched.

Ladies - believe me I know how idiotic this whole thing sounds. Who would have thought...I just couldnt believe their reaction and how cruel their words got. I did chalk it up to wedding stress and just gave them some space. I know it will be a glorious day!

Enjoy your evening.

Carmen.

Spent the whole day traveling back and forth to Shriner's Hospital with my oldest son and the drivers. It was a long day.

Honestly, I think I am finally losing from all my workouts at the gym and actually getting in my cardio at home(this week and last I was able to get them in 2 days).



I have a job interview next Wed. I missed the call but I have to call them back tomorrow to set up a time. I really really want one of these jobs (2 Teacher's Assistant/Library Assistant jobs in our local school district). I want the Library Assistant at the Middle School because the hours would be better for homeschooling my youngest.

So say a prayer that I get the job, it is 4.5 hours a day and would be great.

Thanks.
