Good Morning Chickies:D

Its a snow day here today and my house is full of kids. I don't know if I told you guys but my SIL lives right next door and her and her DH came up with the idea that their kids come here for lunch and after school while I am off. I think they thought it would help us out finiacially with me not working and if DH goes away. I think he will be getting $500/w when he goes away:confused: So the little extra money will def come in handy. I don't think her girls were totally tore up about going to preschool after school and I think it makes her life a little easier b/c she gets to come straight home after work and she doesn't have to pack lunches or snacks anymore. The girls aren't any work....they are 7 and 9. If anything DS is the one I need to try and control. Anyway...they are here now and they have a toy that he doesn't own and he is being so nice to them b/c he wants them to share! We are having sharing issues lately:confused:

Anyway.....I didn't workout yesterday. After I came home from skating I started cleaning up the house so I put my pjs on. I didn't write down DS's next appt with the behavior specialist and when I look...here she is! My house still isn't in order, I have pjs on and DS's head is covered in kraft dinner:rolleyes: Its on his face, on his ears....disaster! And it was her first time here. Then when I looks again, here comes the DS's babysitter and her mother:confused: Why does everything seem to happen the one time? Then the dog is barking, then the phone is ringing.....Ugh! She must have thought this house was a circus! I am hoping to do something this morning though. Esp with the kids being here all day, we aren't on any time frames for lunch and stuff.

Diana** We may have to move anywhere in Canada. Its highly unlikely that DH will be working here. BUT he may be working in one of the surrounding areas so we may be able to live in this house for a little while longer. I am looking forward to a change, even though it will be very different! This town is very clickish and there are a lot of high maintance people around. It would be nice to move some where and make some new friends. And imgine living some where where marathons were held!!! I wouldn't have to take a plane! OR living somewhere that there was a lululemon!! Then that's where I would work!:eek:

Wendy** I don't know why I felt so crappy after 5 hours of sleep. I even had a headache. Last night was a good night. I fell asleep with him in bed with me, which wasn't my intention. I thougth DH would move him when he came to bed. I fell a sleep at 10:30'ish and woke up at 1:30....I fell back to sleep and I think he woke at 3 and 6:20. He is still a sleep right now. I feel pretty good today. I think sleep and yoga are the same thing~!:p

Laura** How was your night? Sounds like you were looking forward to it!

My baby shower is tomorrow and I have no clue what to wear. I am kind of limited...actually, a lot limited! I would like to run out and see what I can find in the shirt dept. I will need some pants in the future while I am getting back into my old jeans! Seems so far away!!! Wahhhhh!!!

I will bbl!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Girl, it's obvious that you are amongst baby and child all day long with out enough adult conversation going on cause man are your posts long these days! LOL :p I say if the girls aren't a discipline issue and you are getting paid for it then to heck with it! Be happy for the extra cash! ;) LOL @ the circus comment but with a house full of kids and a dog I am not surprised! Get used to it! :p I am sure the specialist understood! :) So why are you having a shower AFTER the baby is born? Who ever put it together must be confused! LOL Happy shirt shopping! :D
 
TGIF .. WOOT WOOT!!!!!!

Morning Ladies ..

Let me just say .. I had THE BEST time last night .. I laughed so hard my dang eye makeup was running .. just had a great group of friends .. some I havent seen in a while and we had a blast .. my friend w/"C" couldnt make it .. she was too sick .. so we missed her .. but some others came that dont usually and we had a blast .. LOUD .. OMG .. we were SOOOOOOOO loud ... but it was an awesome time!!! DH went in on nights last night - after he left .. my dogs kept me up ALL NIGHT .. I was up and down .. he started a fire and it got too fffn hot in the house .. the dogs were hot .. i was hot .. they were restless .. then there were wild dogs outside running .. and my dogs were having fits .. anyway .. NO SLEEP for me at all .. ugh!!!

Wendy - man you are the one that got all the sleep .. I am hoping tonight is MY night :p doesnt it feel good to get a good nights sleep every now and then!!!!!:D

Lori -I am sorry I was rolling when you were describing your wild house .. I can only imagine ... it does seem that things go crazy at the most inopportune times .. the therapist lady prbly thought .. poor girl or as we say down here "bless her heart" .. LOL!!! I dont see how you do it - I would be INSANE!!!! And the extra kids .. good for extra money .. and if they arent any trouble .. that works out great ... but you do have a lot on your plate!!!

Di - yes do tell us about your bootcamp - I am still tossing around starting up a bootcamp class when our time changes ..

OK - so today IS HEAVY weights at the C.C. ... SIL is supposed to meet me - then tmrw we are tackling either AB - AT - or Bobs new workout - eeeooouch .. then SUN I think we are going to do a Cardio BR or HiiT short workout then STS TB .. it hurts to think about it!!!

have a great one .. I will BBL to see what everyone is up to!!! ;)
 
Hi Ladies,

I just finished AfterBurn, it was awesome. I struggled a bit with the mountain climbers and spiderman pushups on the disc. I also subbed side lunges for the front lunges.

My foot was killing me after class last night. I forced myself to do my physical therapy though since it will never get better if I don't work on it. This morning it wasn't too bad, but I think I need some special inserts for the toe box since I feel like there just isn't any padding left there on my foot.

Laura-so glad you had a great time! It's nice to hang out with friends, DH and I need to do that more often. I guess you should be thankful DH started a fire even it was too hot. He was just taking care of you. I'll try to scan our first workout and email to you. It basically consisted of running laps, running stairs (up and down counts as 1), pushups, dips and crunches.
1 lap, 10 stairs, 10 pushups, 10 dips, 10 crunches
2 laps, 9 stairs, 9 pushups, 9 dips 9 crunches.
The laps increashed and the other activities decreased by 1 until 10 laps and 1 of all the others activities.

Lori-I remember those days...yes I laughed too but only because I totally understand. As long as you don't mind the girls coming over, then enjoy the extra money. How does DD feel about moving? I think she's a sophomore, same as Jerod..right??? We won't be moving anywhere until he graduates. I do understand that you may not have a choice, we moved around a lot when I was growing up.

Wendy-Woo Hoo for sleep!!!! Sometimes you just need to take it when happens. I slept pretty good last night too, but only from 11-6.

bbl
 
Hey Ladies-

I knew how jealous you all would be of my FAB night's sleep last night! LOL :p Gotta tell ya it was pretty awesome! :)

Laura:: No matter how you slice it you will be hurtin this weekend after heavy weights followed by a circuit! Good luck moving on Sunday! ;):D Glad you had fun last night. No big head today? :p

Diana:: AB is killer for sure! Nice job making it work for you too! Sorry about your foot. :( Hope it's better soon.

BBL!:cool:
 
COME ON 5'o clock .. GEESH

well didnt make the CC heavy weights - I went for a RUN instead .. it was just too gorgeous outside .. 4.3 miles 45 minutes :D:D I could have ran forever .. dang it .. but had to come back to work . crap!!

OH WELL ... I will have tonight for me and DH DATE NIGHT .. woot woot!! well mini date night .. b/c he is on night shift .. but I am sure we will make the most of it :p ;)

have a great one! I will try to check in tmrw and report which workout we decided on!!!
 
Hi Girls:)

Workout today was MM and 30 min walk on the TM. I had to break it up b/c of feedings and lunch time but I got it done.

Wendy** Well...I am sitting here in front of the computer...nursing...so I have lots of time to talk jibberish:D Get use to it!:p

Laura** Sounds like you had a awesome time last night. We went out for a friends bday a few weeks back and we were so loud as well!! Im surprised the other couples there didnt leave:eek:

Diana** If we move theres a good chance DD will stay here with my inlaws. I dont expect her to leave all of her friends. Hopefully we wont be to far away and who knows, maybe they will take this into consideration.

I havent done a big lot today, still need to go to the mall:confused: Im sure thats gonna go well:confused:

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

I went to a funeral this morning for one of David's aunts. It was so sad. She was only 63..so young to be put to rest. She had a stroke about 6 months ago and never really recovered. All this after being a breast cancer survivor. She had a large family and lots of grandkids. All the grandkids wrote out their favorite memories and then 3 of the grandkids took turns reading them all. She was very unselfish and also put others first.

Lori-nice job with MM, one of my favorite full body weight workouts. You always amazed me being able to w/o when Rylan was little...and now you have another little one...and don't skip a beat. :)

Laura-nothing wrong with running when the weather permits.:) We are still trying to thaw out from our 18" of snow last week. We are supposed to get more snow tonight and again on Monday, hopefully it won't amount to much. Enjoy your date night!!

Wendy-My foot is still very tender and only fits in a couple pair of shoes. :mad: I'm going to look for some inserts that I think will help. The inserts have to be able to work with my orthotics too. I've been taking aleve every morning and every night and I don't think it does anything at all. Honestly, it just feels good to be doing cardio again, even if I have to modify it a bit.

Off to look for a movie for DS and I to go too tonight. Wish me luck.
 
saturday

Hey

I had a fabulous sleep last night..omg i feel like a new person...whew...:D

Sil is coming over ..think we decided on AT....sil hasnt done that one before..we are kinda all over the rotation...but keeping the general idea of it in mind...i really think insted of the tri set body ones i am going to do p90x2 ub and lb ones...have not done them yet and i am curious about them..

Di...sounds like the funeral was a tear jerker...i always wonder what people will say about me when i die...yikes sooooooo much snow so early...we have had wonderful temps but an artic blast is moving in..the winds are howling and temps to pkummit to around 22 tonight...sad...all the blooms will be killed

Hello to all that follow...

I will try to bbl.to see what everyone else is up to..have a great one
 
Hey Ladies.

Quick check in to say that I crushed P90X Chest and Back this afternoon! Or maybe I should say IT crushed ME! :eek::p Good stuff though! I really do love that work out!!!!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend...I went and got my car damage looked at this morning then got my nails done and finally got my work out in. Now will clean a bit and the off to 5pm Mass. After that DH is picking up the best pizza ever and we will have dinner while watching the latest Pirates of the Caribean movie. :)

BBITAM!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

I did Disc 4 (CSB) per the rotation and also did LIC that didn't get done earlier this week. I had to rewind so much during LIC that I was beat and missed out on the last 3 minutes or so of the blasts at the end. I'm glad I tackled LIC so I can improve my performance when it's called for later this week.

Did either of you pre-order the new dvd's? I did last night along with more bands to be replace the purple one I broke and the stretched out green one.:D

We have more snow again....at the temps will be in the teens overnights and 20's-maybe 40's during the day. I hate the cold!

Wendy-Nice job with P90X C&B, it's a great workout! There were quite a few pushups in the w/o this morning and I hope to improve my pushup endurance. Admittedly, my pushup endurance was the best with P90x.

Laura-have fun with AT! Can't wait to hear what you think of the X2 weight workouts...I haven't tried those yet. It's awful when we get freezes after everything is blooming.

Lori-It sounds like you had a wonderful baby shower!

bbl
 
Good Morning.

Oh my word am I feeling C&B this morning! So much so that I just re-arranged my rotation so I didn't have to work upper body again! LOL I know it's different bp's but I still can't phathom a 2nd X work out quite yet!:p That being said, Turbo Barre is on the agenda for a little later this morning!

Di:: Yep, I pre-ordered on the very first day! :D My push up endurance was the best with the X too and then with BR as well. With Cathe, even M1 STS, it was never as good and I think I know why...In the X and BR you do the push ups at whatever speed you are comfortable with. With Cathe, you do them to at a speed that she pre-determines which makes it harder thus I am not as good at them. Make sense? :confused:

Well that's all for now. BBL!:cool:
 
Good Morning:)

Another good night...knock on wood! Some people have different views on letting a newborn sleep for more then 3 hours but why wake a sleeping baby? Hes obviously happy, right?

I have a few things to do today. I really need to clean the house but it wont be from top to bottom. And I need to pick up the supplies for DS's party tomorrow. That shouldnt take to long to do, its just getting out. I would also like to get a workout in. I dont know if I told you that my Dr suggested I wait 6-8 weeks before I run again ( we know thats not gonna happen) And my friend who is a nurse said that at the 3 week mark I should be good to go:) So I ordered a new bra from lulu yesterday that will hopefully give me the support I need!

Diana** The funeral sounded so sad, much like my aunts passing a few months back. I couldnt stop crying. Ugh! You know me with the workouts...Im determined! I also think that everyone eho lives with me knows Im happier when I workout so they give me my hour to myself:p

Wendy** Best pizza in the world??? Sounds like Will Farrell in Elf when he found the worlds best cup of coffee:p No pizza for me for a while!

Laura** Glad to hear you had a good sleep! Hope your enjoying your weekend!

I will bbl!

Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies,

UGH....I woke up at 2am and didn't fall back asleep until close to 5.:mad: I just woke up at 8:45am so even though it was broken sleep, I did sleep.

DOM's in the chest...oh my...all those pushups and flyes ...love it!

The rotation calls for Turbo Barre as Wendy mentioned, but my lower body needs weights. Lower Body Blast and a cardio TBD is sounding good right now. Another cup of coffee is in necessary before I start my workout though.

Wendy got me started cooking again....my dinner tonight will be Beef, Potato and Quinoa Soup | Skinnytaste and Tuesday night will be Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup | Skinnytaste

Lori-I'm with you, why wake a sleeping baby! For those of us who exercise regularly, it's probably fine to resume our normal activities as we can handle them. Obviously you need to listen to your body and stop if its too much. I started running after having Jerod at around the 4 week mark if I remember right.

Wendy-Glad the X is working out for you!!! ITA re the pushups, plus I think the X has a lot more pushup variety and the never ending push/pull method really works!:D

bbl
 
Good Morning:)

We didnt go to bed last night till 12:confused: and my first wake up call was at 6:D Oh this boy is gonna be my favorite for sure;):p

No workout yesterday. Despite the sleep I had, I had a headache, felt sluggish and just had to much to do! Im debating doing a short workout now or doing a longer workout with weights being first, picking DS up from preschool and cardio after lunch. I would also like to start following a rotation....any suggestions? And my weight hasnt budged this week:( I was thinking about signing up for ww online again or maybe waiting to see what this week brings.

Diana** DH asked why I was lazy yesterday b/c the baby was only up once but like I said to him...broken sleep isnt fun! Not to mention I am going into my 3rd week of broken sleep. Hope you slept better last night!

I will bbl!
Lori:)
 
Good Morning!

So I did Turbo Bar Lower Body Premix + Ab Ripper X y'day and Athletic Training today! I'm pooped! :D

Diana:: How was the soup? And your lower body work out?

Lori:: Never wake a sleeping baby is right!!!! :eek: Looks like you managed to find an excuse to buy something else at Lulu. Doesn't surprise me! LOL :p

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Ladies,

I filed our taxes yesterday and was notified this morning they were rejected!:mad: It appears someone has already filed taxes using either mine or DH's SS number as a dependent. So now we have to work with the Social Security office and it can take 4 weeks to resolve. UGH:mad:

I'm not really in the mood to workout out after tracking down this information. I may throw in a short w/o though just to work of my anger! I have bootcamp class tonight, no harm done.

Wendy-AT, hmmm I think I've only done that workout once, I don't remember it. Not sure if you read about metabolic training in Cathe's newsletter, but it sounds exactly like BR to me! The soup was pretty good, but I thought it could use a bit more spice to it. Of course I didn't have the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, I will make this again for sure.

Lori-Men have no idea....your body went through a traumatic experience, you have 3 kids at home to take care of...but its okay because you get to sleep in 4 hour increments. I think Cathe has LIS rotation for December you might be interested in.

Laura-How was your weekend?

bbl
