Good Morning!
I can't believe it is the 21st already??? Another month almost gone? Holy smokes! Not only that...once this month is over it won't be long before marathon time is here I felt like I was doing a good job preparing myself for it but I didn't get my long run in last week and that's kind of throwing me for a loop. Maybe after I run on Sat I will feel better.
Well, I told myself yesterday that no matter how windy,rainy or cold it was outside, that I would be running in it. I think I have changed my mind since I woke up! LOL Its another gross day, but I knew it was going to be like that. I am still going to check it out but I forgot until last night, how much I enjoyed those CC's workouts. I had to put them to one side b/c I was getting tired of them but I think I have forgotten them now.
My co-worker said yesterday that its been quiet at work so I am hoping for 2 smooth days. Her DH was also hanging out with my DH last night and he let it slip out how much she makes an hour. Of course DH had to tell me. She makes 3.50 more an hour....thats alot....but she also USE to do alot more work. I am still waiting to see what her duties will be before I bring it up again. I said I was going to wait a month but I don't even think it will be ironed out by then. She said that there was something she was going to have to do and it ain't worth that...and its still something I can do. Now if I could go to work and not have to deal with those phone calls from headoffice asking for certain things...then that would be worth it to me! LOL But it seems right now as if we are both expected to do the samething.
Alright....so if I don't run outside, its going to be another CC. I am thinking #6. No weights....I have DOMS in alot of places today. I will probably do abs again though.
Wendy** Have a good workout!
Jacque** Sorry you had bit of a rough evening. It seems like it is getting to you! I feel for you. Good thing you got those grey's covered up though I see more and more popping up on my head all the time. Im not sure how I will cope when I have to get my hair done every 6 weeks or so!
BBL to report!

Hi Ladies,
I stayed up later than normal to watch the AVS/SHARKS OT period. I ended up falling asleep but saw this morning that Jacque's Sharks beat us last night. The series is tied 2/2.
This morning is plyo legs, not sure about lunch w/o though. We are supposed to have rain so it will have to be something inside.
UUGGHHH, DH had ordered pizza for dinner last night. I was starving and had 3 pieces. I had the chicken one, it would've been better with twice the chicken and half the crust. Other than that, I ate great all day long but did indulge in a small handfull of mnms! After PunkyJen was telling me she was reading Tosca's Eat Clean Diet Book, I decided to re-read it. Well I saw the newer version "recharged" at the store so I picked that one up and am enjoying it. A coworker has already borrowed the original Eat Clean book.
Wendy-glad you enjoyed your SS w/o this morning. I didn't see your answer to my question....If I could only buy BBL or Tonique, which would you recommend? We do a lot of stair running which helps with the backside but could use I could use more toning and lifting.
Lori-so you were multi-tasking while you were running....honestly...texting, I wouldn't be able to do that. I previously worked in accounting/payroll and found out that our accounting secretary made more money than I did. Of course I wouldn't say anything about it, but one of my coworkers, same grade/level and pay as me brought it up to our boss. Well it resulted in both of us getting raises. One of my current coworkers received 2 promotions in 3 years which is really unheard of at my company. She is a grade level above me now at probably makes 4-7K more than I.
Jaque-congrats on your win. I didn't see the goal since I fell asleep. Have you tried writing up your bills, here's what we owe each month, heres what's coming...and let him know its his job to figure out how to come up with the money where you fall short. It sounds like he has all day(s) to figure it out. I hate being the only one worrying about $$. I'm doing the same thing for cashflow reasons. DH gets paid once a month on the last bus. day of the month and we usually run short the last half of the month. I think its more due to the timing of our bills because I think we make enough to cover our expenses, but we are always having to pay off our reserve when DH gets paid...so we are in the cycle. I'm going to write it up anyway and see if we can get a HE loan for the windows. It's a 5 year Credit Card payment basically. The CC came from the Window company but I don't think we can deduct the interest from the CC like we could a HE loan.

Diana, I am sorry. I started to answer that question when you first posted it but got side tracked and never finished. I only have one part of the Tonique series. I have Tonique 2 which is 2 50 minute standing work outs. There is also Tonique which I think is 1 work out similar to what I have but maybe a bit easier?? Then there is also a floor work out. That being said, I can't fairly judge against BBL. What I will say is that the one Tonique work out I did so far was a big time thigh burner where BBL focuses more on the backside so if you are looking for the focus to be on the buns then BBL is where it's at!
Lori, So what's the verdict? Did you take it outside for that run or stay in with CC?
Jacque, (((HUGS))) Gardening. I wish I could get into it if only to plant flowers and make my yard look pretty. I did it one year but that was it. *sigh* My neighbor does flowers and veggies. She dedicates a lot of time to setting it up and caring for it. That's just not me. Oh well.

Hey Girls!
Boss is gone to a meeting! Yippee!! So nice and quiet here today. We have finally caught up on the paper work so lets hope for smooth sailing from here on in (knock on wood!) Don't want to jinx myself or anything.
Todays workout was abs again and a run outside. I wasn't going to but I stuck my head out the door and realized it wasn't that bad. I usually look at the trees behind our house as well, just to see how much they are moving. My run was 10k. I am happy with that and my time was good as well. I am getting excited about this marathon. I know I have another 5-6 weeks to go but I think I will do good with it. Another long run planned for this weekend so hopefully that will encourage me alittle more.
Wendy** Nice workout this a.m. A run outside it was. Stupid TM's....run and run and don't even get anywhere. My dad always says " you have been on that thing for a while and you are still in the same spot"! LOL
Diana** I am going to wait a little while to bring up the $ thing. I may even throw in how I know, who cares. I wasn't snooping or looking at pay stubs. Her DH let it slip...so there. I am on the fence about what to have for supper tonight. Its pay day for DH so sometimes we will get takeout...but I also like saving takeout for Fri's cause who wants to cook on Fri's? Hope you get a lunch time workout in!
Laura** Your funny! Yes....true appreciation would be to let you have the day off. How was the meal? I had left over spagetti but atleast it was with whole wheat pasta and lean meat. I have a dentist apt tomorrow....poor guy will be knocked over with garlic. I guess that is one of the reasons why he wears that mask!
Alright...off I go. Make myself look busy! Ah.....this is the job I enjoy!

I had it last night and it is out of this world I CAVED .. OK think the slice of cake was 1/4 of the cake .. I scraped the strawberries off the cake .. slid it to the side and ate some of the cream w/the berries OH MY GOODNESS .. she wasnt lying it was FINE!!! ssoooooooo somehow I have ot manage a workout today
If anyone needs me I will be the one laid out on my desk .. drunk and hungover from sugar high followed by a sharp sugar DROP and doped up from full belly.. everytime I eat a heavy meal .. I WONDER .. HTH do people eat like that all the time .. GEESH .. my belly is swelling as I type!!!

Hi Ladies,
Plyo legs was great this morning! I have my old STS cards that I'm using as a guide... but am putting my current weights on my current w/o cards. I had written a comment on the plyo card- for the one legged squat thrust jumps-"I suck at these" Guess what...I still do!
Lori-Since I work at such a large company, it's really hard to get a promotion...and now all the hoops I have to go through-It's ridiculous. Hope you get more money soon. Do you have yearly reviews/raises?
Laura-it sounds like you had a great lunch. The image of you walking like a spaz in your heels made me laugh outloud!!! I haven't worn heels is forever, it hurts my feet too bad. Glad you enjoyed yourself and a bit of dessert too!
Have a nice night ladies!
