GEESH .. my body sure does need it .. :mad:... we are to get rain and storms today and tmrw too .. ugh!! I went home and crashed on the couch . . caught up with my shows I missed last week!! LOL .. it was kinda NICE!! :)

Di - well I will hope for the best for the new position - and dang it you cant even be mad at the girl that is getting the opportunities if she is NICE ... of all the things .. she couldnt be a B###??? that would make it easier to dislike her!! LOLOL

Wendy - WTG on doctoring the recipe!! dont forget to write down what you did or what it needed .. I always do that .. forget it when I make something better .. next time I make it .. it is never the same!! LOL

Lori - ya I read about the heat for the marathon .. yikes!! those are our normal temps down here .. but imagine if you are not used to it .. it can deplete your energy pretty darned fast!!

OK .. so today still playing catch up at work - they are cooking a veggie lunch today - for Relay for Life team .. should be good .. IT SMELLS GOOD!!! :) Exercise for me...
 
Hi Girls

My only workout today was 9km outside with the stroller:D I then did stuff around the house for a couple of hours, hoping to do Insanity strength but I ended up showering and making a dessert for dinner tonight. We are invited to our friends for dinner and I said I'd bring the dessert:)

So my little bundle liked the stroller and I really don't think I need a new one. When I looked at my old one I noticed that my FIL had it all tuned up and cleaned. I really don't need to waster $300 or more on another stroller.

I haven't been talking to my friend, I think she returns tonight. She did email me and said that it was the craziest thing she has ever done. I'm thinking that she might have to pay for internet usage on her phone when she is in the U.S. I know when she went to Maine last year she didn't text me cause it cost to much. I am sure she is happy with having completed it....it had to of been a wonderful experience!

Diana** I always hated waiting to hear about a job I applied on. But not as much as favoritism! Geez! That would irritate me. When I worked with 4 or more girls, the others use to always talk about one girl who was the fav. In the end it was just her and I left and I didn't really notice it. I know that my boss use to get mad at others and lose his cool but he never did with her...and he never did with me either. And if she was the "favorite" I really didn't care! LOL I didn't want to be his fav!

Laura** Ugh...so you came home from vaca and caught a bug! Not as bad as the pregnancy bug I caught last year;) Hope you feel better soon!

Wendy** Again...my dessert isn't a low fat one. When I complain in a few weeks that I still have 8 lbs to lose you can remind me why;) Ive been a good girl all day though...except for licking the dessert spoons!

I probably won't bb until tomorrow!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning,

I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee so that will give you an idea of what my night was like:confused: I think I am due for a sleep in on the weekend to catch up!

Anyway, DS is home from preschool today cause he has caught some kind of bug. He looks pathetic until the advil kicks in and then he is right back to his normal self. I am just relieved that it isnt the stomach flu.

Today's workout is going to be Strength and a run. I won't fit it in until after lunch though. My running partner is suppose to be coming by later as well. From what I can gather from her text, she is happy. She said that they were suggesting people not run and come back next year and a lot of thee elite dropped out. I guess if you know your not going to perform your best, why bother putting your body through that? She also said they were dropping like flies and a lot of people walked. She said she started to cry around mile 25 and 26 b/c people were needing medical assistance and they almost made it to the finish line. Anyway she has the gift to gab so I should hear more later!

I will bbl to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
WED - hump day

Morning Ladies!

Well the storms held off ystdy - and I felt OK - so I went for a run after work - I had charged my ipod at work - and got out and turned it on the damned thing was dead .. i was TICKED .. I walked back to car and put it in - said SCREW IT .. and went ahead and ran (have not ran w/o CC or music EVER) ... well I felt strong .. had my best time in a while .. 5 miles 50 min .. and that was including warm up and cool down .. so the run was about 42 - 45 min .. :eek: :D:D:D

Today it is storming - so no run - i have more sinus draning today - the pollen was terrible on the run - my throat is a bit better tho :) I may go to CC at lunch and do heavy weights today!

Lori - GREAT run w/the stroller!! that has to be tuff .. glad the the baby did good :) and good news you dont have to buy a new one! woot woot!

Wendy - you are a cooking fool!! That eggplant recipe looked good and even better doable ... let us know how it was!

Di -have fun working out .. and let us know if you here about the new position!

OK .. still playing catch up .. gotta run .. have a great one!
;)
 
Hi Ladies,

I did SuperSets this morning. I haven't done this workout in a long time and I was able to use much heavier weights than Cathe in this w/o. I've noticed over time that Cathe's been using heavier weights in her videos too. I'm doing 2 full body weight workouts per week during my tri-training and am just going to rotate through all my full body workouts.

Laura-see how much faster you run without music!;) I love running with my music too, but we don't get to use them in my tri-training runs. Hope you have some allergy meds that will help you.

Wendy-I love eggplant, but my family wants meat....UGH. Did your family like it?

Lori-enjoy your day with both kiddo's in tow. I'm sure you will be kept very busy.

Hello!

Fly by for me...

Total Body Transformation and STS Extended Stretch was today's work out. Leaning towards yoga for tmrw but not positive yet!

BBITAM!:cool:
 
Good Morning

I feel much better today then yesterday morning:) I think I need atleast 3 straight hours in order to feel half sensible and I didn't get that the night before last. Last night he woke at 2,4 and 6! Crazy isn't it?? But he let me have 3 straight hours....When will this end!!!????:confused:

Anyway...we received some good news yesterday. DH received his phone call for the RCMP. Here is the catch though...they wanted him to go on May 8th! That's little over 2 weeks away. He doesn't have anything straightened away with the business and 2 weeks doesn't give him much time. Plus, his (so called) business partner is leaving for Vegas today and will be gone for a week so he can't even talk to him about it. There is another troop going June 12th so they are gonna see if they can switch DH with someone going then...but if they can't then he has to go. I would just rather he left and got it over with.

Yesterday's workout was a Mindy Myleara spinning dvd a friend gave me and it was good. She wasn't nearly has energetic and annoying as I use to think she was in the step workouts. It was a sweaty workout though and I did Strength again. Im not sure what I will do today. I may do another section of the spinning dvd cause there are 3 short workouts on it and I did 2 yesterday. I may also do B&G's.

Laura** I enjoy running with no music when I have things on my mind. I didn't use music the other day either b/c I had the baby with me. Running with no music lets me think and usually puts me in a good mood when I am in a terrible one so I am not surprised that it was one of your better runs.

Diana** I haven't done SS in a while, actually I don't even know where it is. I never did think the BB series was tough. I did like the leg workout though.

Wendy** Busy, busy gal!

I will bbl to report my workout. DS still isn't feeling well, one of us will probably take him to the Dr today and I am going to get the baby weighed after lunch. My guess is he is over 14 lbs for sure.....

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

Gonna have to be another fly-by until later...heading out in a few...

Did one 4 minute hula interval-8@10/20 + Bob's Yoga for the Warrior in full this morning.

Heading out to breakfast and a matinee of The Titanic in 3D (so excited!) with my mom for her Birthday in just a few minutes :D...BBL!:cool:
 
THURS

Well - I had a LAURA DAY ystdy - my sinuses got worse as the day progressed - so I went home - spent some time w/my babies - by the time 7 rolled around I couldnt breath - nose stuffed up - and draining . UGH .. last night I coughed and snorted and sputtered .. ugh .. I feel a bit better today - but ears are ringing - sinuses draining and throat hurting .. thinking this is POLLEN related .. plus that nagging sore throat from our trip .. so today is ANOTHER REST DAY .. dang it!!

Tonight we are having a work group GT for the co-worker - MY FRIEND - that is leaving - her last day is FRI :( this place wont be the same w/o her - we are going to the Mexican rest. ... Margarita night :eek::eek: coincidence?? .. I think not!!!! :p

Lori - I have never ran w/o music - I didnt think as much as I do w/music .. so I was kinda opposite .. music moves me .. and when I am doing CC his words move me and make me think of my motivations in life .. and areas I need to work on.. etc .. I think I ran faster b/c I was thinking .. come on get it over with .. LOL .. and ended up being surprised I felt so good! Hoping things work out for you and DH .. will you move soon? or will he go and you stay ??? 2 weeks .. wow .. not long girlie!! Good luck -

Wendy - sounds like a fun day w/your DM .. :).. enjoy the movie - my blind eye doesnt allow me to see in 3-d .. so I cant go to any of the 3-d movies .. :(... I remember them being awesome tho!

Di - any word on the job yet?

OK .. better run .. have a great one .. exercise for me
 
Hi Girls

My workout was another Mindy spinning dvd and GS standing leg work. I would have done the floor work too if I knew that baby was going to sleep for another 2 hours after I finished:confused: I think the floor work is harder then the standing work. And the Mindy workout was another good one. Its intervals on the bike and aerobics working a 2-1 ratio. It was tough but of course its all about pushing yourself.

Laura** Lol....maybe that's what you were thinking...just get it over with:p I also enjoy running with someone so we can chat but haven't done that in ages and I really don't know how much chatting I would be able to do at this point! We use to have some crazy conversations and before we knew it, the run was over. I am staying here while DH is away so we will be seperated for 6 months. I can't think about not seeing him for 6 full months so I may have to plan a trip to where he is or get him to meet me half way. I think airfare will be pretty costly...we will have to wait and see.

Wendy** Enjoy the movie with your mom!!!

I may bbl!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

No workout this morning, but not too worry as I have biking/swimming tonight!


Lori-Even though you knew DH would be leaving soon, they certainly didn't give you much notice. I'd probably rather get it over with too. Will you eventually have to relocate, or would he be based from where you live now? Nice workouts by the way!!

Laura-sorry you are not feeling well. I think I'm working out enough for the both of us though. This tri-training is kicking my butt! Enjoy your GTG tonight!

Wendy-hope you have a great day with your Mom!

bbl
 
Good Morning,

The baby slept in his own room last night and if I do say so myself...it was a smashing idea! He only woke once. Hopefully tonight will be the same but who knows.

I took DS to the Dr yesterday evening and the Dr thinks it is just viral. Which is good. He is pretty much the same this morning. He is suppose to have kinderstart today but its unlikely he will be going.

So DH is leaving on June 11th....this gives him more time to get things straightened out. And June will be here before we know it!

I'm not sure what my workout will be today....the outside of my right foot is still bothersome (that's why I have been doing spinning the last couple of days) I would like to do a UB workout...I'll figure it out:D

Diana** We will have to relocate a lot over the next few years but we are hoping to stay here at least until DD finishes school. Time will tell!

BBL to report my workout!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning Ladies,

I need to find a short workout for this morning. I've been assigned to a project and it does not allow for lunch time w/o's which I really need to be doing in order to get in all my tri-training.

Lori-yay for Stephen sleeping in his own room and only waking up once! Glad DH has another month so you can at least be prepared.

Morning Laura & Wendy...bbl for personals.
 
Good Morning Ladies.


Today's work out got done bright-n-early! I started at 7:30-right after dropping my son off at school and this is what I did:


~Total Body Trisets Lower Body (40 mins)
~20 minute interval cardio work out doing one 4 minute round (8@10/20) of each of the following 5 exercises: Jump rope, hula hoop, jumping jacks, squat jumps, mountain climbers.
~Yoga Relax-30 minutes of mixing n matching the portions I wanted to do.

Lori:: I've tried a few Mindy work outs here and there over the years and I didn't like them. Glad you enjoyed her spinning w/o though. Hate buying a work out that I end up not liking. Even if I can return it for a refund it's still lame. :(

Diana:: So how long will this lunch time work out squashing project last? Hope not too long! What a bummer! Sorry. :(

Laura:: Sorry you are sick. Hope you feel better soon! How was the GTG for the co-worker that is leaving?

That's all for now but BBL!:cool:
 
TGIF!!! WOOT WOOT

Morning all!!

Well last night was great - we went to the new Mexican rst - it was SOOO much better than the other MX rst :D I stuck w/my light beer instead of margaritas ... my friend had a good time - we laughed and laughed - the boss got our tab :D:D we gave her a nice silver pendant necklace (i picked out) .. she loved it .. it looked really good on her too! Today is surreal - cant believe she is not gonna be here MON .. she is excited .. NOT teary .. she cant wait!!! LOL we are having a little something for her in the break room this afternoon - she might get teary then .. >??

Lori - YA for the little one sleeping in his room - and June - that gives ya'll more time .. great .. it would have to be hard to be seperated for 6 mnths - ya - I see one of you making some trips to be together!!! 6 months and Stephen is gonna be a lot different!!!

Wendy - WOW whatta workout this morning .. girlie you are knocking out the workotus here lately!! thanks for having my slack!!! Yes last night was fun - NICE place - and great food and COLD drinks .. not to mention great laughs too .. what more could you ask for!

Di - any word on the job yet? or is this new project part of the new job assignment???

OK .. soooooo today I will be arranging things for the gathering this afternoon - CAKE and goodies .. OF COURSE .. aaaahhhhh ... tonight is DATE night woot woot!! DH off and cooking steaks - ;) Tmrw SIL and I will be attempting AB or AT or Trisets - we are GONNA DIE!!! :p:p:p we both still in vaca mode :cool: :eek: :eek: k - gotta run .. have a great one! ;)
 
So I was just on FB and noticed Di's post about the BR work out she is going to do today. I clicked on the link and see that Lisa now has what I can only imagine are hair extensions. First a boob job and now long hair? Seems to me she is trying to emulate Zuzanna a little too much...creepy...:confused:

JMHO ofcourse!
 
BR

Wendy ..

I know .. I thought same thing .. she seems like such a sweet person .. she was good like she was .. the net is such a cruel place to put yourself out there like that .. I guess the pressure got to her .. now unfortunately people are being cruel b/c she changed .. it is damned if you do .. damned if you dont. IMO the boobs are too big for her small frame .. she was good like she was ... now hair extensions?? ey - seems odd too .. I personally wouldnt be able to stand the thought of fake hair glued into my own .. eeeeew .. that is just NOT for me!! But it is her choice and I totally believe if doing something makes someone feel better it is their choice .. but I think it is a shame that she felt like she needed to do that .. b/c she was pretty darned perfect to start with .. what is next butt implants? b/c Zuz has a helluva booty back there!!!
 
Laura-Butt implants? Yeup-I wouldn't be surprised! LOL I am all for what she did if she did it for the right reasons but I don't think that's the case. I have breast implants. I obviously find no fault in them or any other cosmetic procedure when done within reason and for the RIGHT reasons. Hair extensions? Not a big deal at all but why did she do it? That's my issue. Glad you noticed it too so now I know that I'm not crazy! :p
