Damage Control...Happy Birthday Thursday!

[Fit_mommy]

Hi Girls.

Hope ya don't mind me dedicating today's thread to my little guy. He's officially 4 years BIG today! *sniff sniff* I remember labor and delivery like it was yesterday!!!

Can I just say.... OH MY GAWD .....I am SOOOOOOOO sore from Leaner Legs y'day!!!! Last night I actually got to take Centergy class. I was so happy to be back. I also got in a nice fast paced 20 minute run with Grace before hand. After I got home from the gym and showered I could already feel the DOMS creeping in. I KNEW I was in trouble!

Today's work out will be TJ's Get on the Ball Kickin' Core work out. I'm looking forward to trying it!

Diana: That's exciting that you will get to go out and visit with your son and his girls in a couple of weeks. I am sure it was hard to watch him leave. (((hugs))) That's nice that his best friend was accompanying him out there. Wow Jerod sure had a tight schedule the other night! That's nuts! Yes, I have a set of plate mates for my DB's. Not for my BB. They are the ones that are 1.25 pounds a piece. Perhaps I should investigate the heavier set before I pop for the 30# dumbbells. Eventually I'll need heavier dumbbells anyway but maybe the platemates will save me a few bucks for now. They really come in handy for bridging the gap when increasing your weight load.

Jen: Sorry about your mom's ankle. Hope she's all better soon. Yup, LL sure is a mean one. That's why it's affectionately been nicknamed "meaner legs" around here!

Laura: Sorry PIA is up to her old tricks again. Your poor SIL. Did she manage to teach her class last night? If so, it probably did her some good as cardio will work out the kinks a bit in sore muscles.

Have a great one!

Happy Birthday Joey!!!

Hi ladies,

I had every intention of working out yesterday, but even after putting on my w/o clothes and going downstairs and starting laundry...I looked at the clock and it was 10 after 8. Obviously not enough time for a workout. I did go for 2.5 mile walk yesterday at lunch but it's just not the same.

This morning I have to be at work early. You all know how I hate that. I'm up early and plyo legs is a shorter w/o so I'm in good shape so far. I'm considering wearing my weight vest. Wish me luck. Tonight is tri training class.

DS made it to Boise Idaho (about 2/3rds of the way) last night and will drive to his new apartment in Oregon today. He said it was a long boring drive and he was glad his BF was with him.

Wendy-Thanks for the cyber hug!! I'm doing pretty good since I know I will see him in a few weeks. It will be hard on Jerod too I'm sure. Where did you find your platemates? I've never seen them before, not sure Ive looked very hard either.

Jen-Poor Mom, I hope she's doing better today. You are right back in the swing of things. Do you feel like your strength and endurance is increasing.

Jacque-I didn't realize you are week behind me. Glad your back is feeling better. I'm looking forward to finishing this rotation though. I really like it, especially this phase; but I tend to gain weight if I don't get enough cardio in. I'm tired of the big belly and thighs and am feeling the need to switch to endurance-but not until I finish this rotation. I have never lifted this heavy before and I feel strong. Too bad the wii fit doesn't think so.

Laura-Hope you enjoy your trip to Vegas and win big!!! It's not my scene. All the loud casino's and the filthy city streets-yuck. I was out for 6 weeks with my hysterectomy. I probably didn't need to be, but that's what the dr. gave me and I enjoyed everyday of it. Sorry PIA is up to her old tricks. Hopefully the boss will do something about her performance issues. I do have new pics of the GBG's, I just need to upload them to my picturetrail.

Lori-Where are you missy??? Hope all is well with you.

Have a great day ladies.

Okay, now I'm NERVOUS!!!!

I just got offered a job!!!!

One of the 2 places I dropped my resume off to last week just called! They need help in the afternoons from 1pm to 6pm! I want to take it but I have many details that still need to be worked out in regards to my son's care after school! I am awaiting word from the aftercare program! He'd like me to try and start asap even if it's only a couple days a week which means unless I hear from aftercare by tmrw I need to see if I can find a sitter! I guess I will talk to the teachers today at school. Maybe I can hook up with one of Joey's classmate's mom's who might be willing to take him for a few hours a couple days a week right now. All this being said, I hope they don't offer the job to someone who is more readily available to start work before I get this all straightened out! This is why I was so freaked about the aftercare! AAAAHHHHH!

Okay, I'm done now. Freak out session is over. You may continue with your regularly scheduled postings.

J O E Y ! ! ! !

Running through on the way to work. Happy it is Joey's birthday and also that it is Thursday. Tomorrow is DH's BDay and Sat it is off for a fun weekend ! We both need it !

Wendy - Good to hear you are sore ! That means the workout was worth it, yes? Hopefully you can work some of it out today with a nice walk or run. CONGRATULATIONS on the job offer. < < < crossing fingers for day care options > > >. Hope it all works out for you. I'm sure it will, you deserve it.

Diana - Hopefully DS will enjoy the Idaho and Oregon views more? I think it is beautiful country there. Loved every minute of our drive from CA to No. Idaho through Oregon and Washington. I'm sure he'll enjoy being "home" with his girls too !

Hope your AM workout went well. I know just how you feel, I am soo much stronger but have held onto the fluff. Am looking forward to leaning out (which oddly enough, happened while I was off on rest week?). Course that all changed as soon as I hit the weights again.

Hey to Jen and Laura ! Hope everyone has a great day !

Just posting quickly to say hello and report that Burn It Off and Recharge was completed this morning. Bring on Week 3!!

I've got an appt. for a haircut tonight and then dinner with SO, but will be back later when I'm at home.

Happy Birthday to our littlest BIG guy, Joey!!

BBL~

Hello again ladies.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great Birthday wishes for my little guy. You girls are the bestest!

So I get this free paper every week in my mailbox and it has a small classifieds section. I've been looking through it to no avail. Ofcourse TODAY I find something. A full time entry level office position so I emailed my resume to them this afternoon. Problem is, I have no idea how to handle this with the other place now. I don't want to officially accept a job until I know more about the office position as I might want that instead. Anyone know how to go about handling this kind of situation? What's the "politically correct" thing to say to the daycare cntr to stave them off a bit??

Oh and I went and talked to the aftercare people and they can get Joey into the program right away if need be so that's not an issue. The only issues left are if DH works O/T and if the aftercare is closed on any days that I would normally have to work.

Lastly, Kickin' Core was fun. It's your standard TJ style kickbox work out followed by core/ab work with/on the ball. I think the core/ab work is actually about 12 minutes in length. The vid is 44 minutes total so the other 32 minutes is the warm up, cardio and cool down. I used Cathe's weighted gloves for the cardio. It's not a super intense work out but I was breathing and sweating and it's fun so I have no regrets!

Diana: I got my platemates online but the name of the store escapes me at the moment! I never even LOOKED for them in a sporting goods store. I figured they wouldn't carry them. Depending on how my job situation pans out I could very well be joining the world of daily early morning work outs!!! We'll have to see what happens. Just the thought of it makes me tired! LOL

Jacque: Enjoy your weekend away with DH! Don't do anything Laura wouldn't do! Thanks re the job. Yes, any work out that leaves me limping like this is most definitely worth it. I swear, I feel like I did after I ran my first half marathon! All from a 30 minute leg work out! SCARY! LOL

Jen: You are too funny!!! Hope the haircut is a good one! My hair is in need of a serious dye job. I bought the dye about a week ago but have yet to do it!

Guess that's all for now.

BBL or tmrw friends!

I hope and pray to God she doesnt loose her Dad!!! So say a prayer for her Dad ...

Wendy ... I may have to look into Leaner Legs if it made you that sore .. who is that by??? I am a glutton for punishment!! ooohhh .. I dont know what to say on the jobfront .. hard decision .. b/c you dont want to mess around and miss out on the current offer .. b/c the other one is not a sure thing .. but you sure dont want to not try for the better job ... hoping something shows you the way!!!

[irishrose]

Good evening everyone! This work thing keeps getting in my way of posting all day. WTH??

Laura: Will be keeping your SIL and her dad in my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs))) to you, because I know you're worrying, and (((Hugs))) to her too.

Wendy: Congrats on the job offer! I think if you haven't told them yet that you've figured out the childcare thing yet, then use that to buy yourself a little more time. Tell them you think you're going to need a few more days or a week or so until you have it all settled and then explore the other possibility. See how the other place responds, go there and check them out, and then decide.

Jacque: Hope you and DH have a blast this weekend!!

Diana Some days the workout just doesn't happen! Ces't la vie, right? I'm sure you made up for it today. Glad to hear your son is having a safe trip and that he'll be there soon.

So I'm mid way through the season finale of Grey's Anatomy and it's already a shocker Gotta get back to it. Will be back in the a.m. ~

Hi all,

Just reporting my 4DS Kickbox/abs is finished ! The STS legs from yesterday were kicking in pretty good with the leg portions !

Wendy - Goodness, from 0 to 2 offers in 2 days ! You must be a HOT commodity chiquita !

Laura - Hugs to SIL and her Dad ! Hope all goes well for him. Did you fire up those hammies tonight ? Will be wondering how it goes with PIA and mini PIA tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow is end of week 2 for me, only 2 weeks left and then ? ? ? Think I have some good ideas, will see what pans out. What are you and SIL planning?

Jen - hear you loud and clear about work getting in the way ! Been way too far behind to come here much - such a bummer ! Well I have exactly half an hour before Grey's starts here - better get a few things done so I can plop down and enjoy !

Until morning . . .
