Damage Control...Hump Day-Make it Happy! ;)

Morning Girlies.

Not feeling much in the way of DOMS from HR y'day....not YET anyway! LOL My lower body has that *very* slight soreness to it that's sayin' "yeah, i worked hard" but it's not bad at all. Ofcourse, once I start doing INTENSITY this morning I am sure my legs will change their tune to "Holy crap will you please stop! You are KILLING me!!!!!"

I've been up since 3:30. Bleh. Woke up cause I had to pee and when I got back in bed I laid there stressing about only having 30 minutes till my alarm went off. I wanted to sleep more but didn't want to get woken up in just a half hour so I just got out of bed instead.

No personals to catch up on so I'll be back later after my torture session is complete!

Good Morning Ladies!

I should be able to catch up on personals today! Yippee! I don't have any training sessions scheduled so I have a ME day! About time I'd say.

Well...my day yesterday started off with DS wetting the bed at 4:33 a.m. Instead of me leaving his bed as it was, I thought I would get a head start and put the sheets in the wash b/c I had a busy day ahead of me. Wrong choice! I think b/c I was roaming around for those few mins it really brought DS to life and he didn't go back to sleep. I guess I doozed between then and 6 but it was just enough to give myself a headache. I had a session at 6:30 and I needed to be to work by 8:30. I thought my manager was away but noooo...he was back to work, in my way,yacking on the phone as usual. So here I am with 4.5 hrs sleep, PMS monster is brewing and him in my way. It made a terrible...terrible combo! Anyway...I quickly snapped out of it and made it through the day with 2 more training sessions to go in the evening and a flight at 10. Needless to say when my head hit the pillow at 11:30, I was out for the count! I think my body is adjusting to my 6 a.m wakeup time b/c I woke up a few times between 6-8 a.m.

Still no dvds!!?? Can you believe THAT? I think it as more to do with customs then the mail. It went into customs on Nov 28th and didn't come out until Dec 3rd! My Lardy...I should get them soon!

So yesterday was a rest day from working out. Maybe Intensity will come today, I know I am keeping that one...just not sure which other one I will keep and two of them I will give my sis for Christmas and I will reorder them later.

O.k...Im gonna warm up my coffee, get settled in and catch up!

O.k...I read up on two days worth and thankfully you girls weren't yacking away while I wasn't checking in! LOL Not much to catch up on, probably wouldn't hurt for me to go back a few more days!

Wendy** Awesome compliment from your uncle. No doubt you deserve it. It makes getting up in the dark worth it! I think everyone loves getting compliments, I just don't like getting them in front of alot of people and then everyone turning to look. DH gets alot of razz b/c his friends say that I am stronger then him and that I have bigger arms! LOL DH isn't very big, mind you. Any thoughts on which two dvds I should give my sis for christmas? My plan was to order HIIT for her b/c she still doesn't have that one but its getting a little late now.

Diana** How as work been going? Did you talk to your boss about the B after? I think I would have to. When are the girls coming for christmas? Do you have to go get them like last year...or are they even coming this year? DD got a message on FB from her grandmother the other day (her fathers mother, they aren't much better) . She said that she was giving her money in a card for christmas this year. DD said " I will probably get in next summer". They only live an hour away! Strange bunch! They actually admitted a while ago that if they saw her out around they wouldn't have known it was her...I don't think I would even say those words out loud without being embarassed to tears! Her father hasn't even asked what she wants for Christmas this year. Maybe he isn't buying her anything.

Jacque** I am behind on somethings this year but ahead on others. I haven't been real good with the kids and DH, I have nothing for him yet....but I have all the little gifts like the sitters, paper boy, preschool teacher...yada....This year passed by to quickly and I was late getting started! I have to remember that next year. DH and I actually spoke about not exchanging this year. As devasting as that would be...LOL....it would be less stressful considering time is getting short!

Laura** Sounds like work is being a real treat! How is PIA lately? You haven't spoke about her in a while.

O.k....I should catch up on some other threads I have been falling behind on. Thankfully I only have 2!

I'm a little late with this but INTENSITY and TJ AB JAM standing exercises only....DONE!

I did INTENSITY backwards today:
Warm Up
Lo HiiT
Hi HiiT
Max Intensity Step
Intensity Step

YIKES! Hurt so good but I was wondering if I would have the energy to finish by the time I got to the final step section!

BBL for personals!

Hi Ladies,

No workout for me this morning. I finally slept all night long, what a treat! No DOMs for me either from High Reps. I have to say that for me anyway, Power Hour is harder. I wish cathe would cue us on the weights she's using and that might help.

Our week long meeting with Europe has been going quite well. It's actually better than I expected. I did send my boss an email about my not so nice coworker and he said we would discuss it, but we have not yet. I actually cleaned up my email and took out all the attitude and just explained what happened. She made me look bad, and I can't let it go etc.

You guys made me laugh last night. As you all know, my laptop is broken. I've ordered the parts to fix it and I think they should come in today. The laptop sits at the kitchen table and I can turn on the light there and not wake anyone. I have to use the desktop in the front living room for now. If I turn on that light I will wake up DH. Like you Wendy, although it's quite easy to move the laptop to wherever, we like it on the kitchen table and rarely use it anywhere else.

I went xmas shopping last night and am almost done! I don't think DH and I are exchanging gifts. I bought a TV on black friday and that should be enough for both of us. I do have some wants though. I want an ipod touch and a new cell phone. They may have to wait until February or March when I can get all the xmas bills paid off.

Wendy-nice compliment from your uncle, and very well deserved. You work hard and it shows! I took your lead yesterday and did legs first.

Lori-thanks for popping in. My gd's are coming out, DS is flying out on Dec 28th to get them. DS will have a long day. Flying from Den to Portland and back, he'll be doing the same thing when he takes them back on Jan 14th.

Hi Jacque and Laura!

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Diana:: My DH hates using the laptop in the kitchen. He will either sit on the couch with it or use the desktop in the computer/workout room. I think it's a female thing. Women are naturally drawn to the kitchen (even those of us meaning ME, who don't like to cook! ) so having the lap top in there seems normal for me. So I sat at the kitchen table last night and went Christmas shopping too! I finished 5 of my sister's 6 kids and my niece on my husband's side. YAY! That's a big chunk I no longer have to worry about. What a relief. I took care of Joey the other day too. Well I hope your boss stands by his word and discusses the coworker situation with you and then DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I hope you don't mind me saying this but he doesn't seem like he is a very good supervisor. Seems like he doesn't want to be bothered with his employees and that's not good... DH and I both want IPOD Touches. I will probably buy him one for Christmas. I went ahead and ordered Wii Fit and the balance board for myself from him. I am hoping an IPOD Touch can still happen too! I know he'll want to buy me something else so fingers crossed!

Morning Ladies ..

I am at my desk .. and have a TRUCKLOAD of paperwork to catch up on maybe today will be better than the past 2!!! I ended up doing mish mosh of plyo, weights, weighted plyo, matt, and core work .. kinda in circuits .. .. OK .. let me say .. I forgot how freaking hard MATT work was .. crap .. my butt cramped up ... and (drumroll please) .. YES I have DOMS in the buttocks and some into the hammies and core ...

Wendy ... I need to try some of the premixes .. I never really do them .. I do the workout as is 99% of the time .. and NICE compliment from the uncle .. that says a lot about your dedication and hard work!!!!

Lori .. work has been super busy ..short handed and not a moment to spare .. and crazy things happening .. you would think it was a full moon or something .. CRAZY ... havent had time to worry about pia .. been too busy .. guess that is a good thing!!! LOL

Di ..Almost done x-mas shopping .. .. I have the total of ONE gift .. and that is for SIL that I ordered and it just came in ... .. I stress out just thinking about how much I have to do

Hello to Jacque ..

Today is my rest day .... DH has me a TO DO list .. we are processing deer meat tonight .. ya fun huh??? and it is freaking freezing out .. I am gonna have to bundle up to stay out there and handle meat .. UGH!!! OK .. have a great one .. I will BBL to see what everyone is up to .. gotta hit the paperwork!

Lori:: I know you don't want to give it up but I think you should give your sister INTENSITY and one of the weight work outs for Christmas. It will balance it out. Maybe HIGH REPS? IDK. They are all excellent work outs. It's hard to decide! LOL @ your DS not going back to bed though I am sure you found it ANYTHING but funny at the time!

Laura:: You sound like Jen. She really never does premixes or mixes it up at all. She does the workouts as produced. If anything, she will just cut it short for time if she is under the gun but that's about it. As for me, I would get totally bored if I didn't mix it up both with premixes and doing my own thing! It's another side affect of that darn ADD I have! DOMS? YOU? NO WAY! I don't really have any from HR and I increased my weights! I REALLY felt my legs during INTENSITY though so I know they were worked good y'day!

Hey Girls,

My workout was some UB stuff, ab work and 25 mins run outside. I know...not real long but asking DD to watch DS while she is on her lunch break is like pulling teeth. I know what time the bus comes to pick her up but she made it sound like she only had 5 mins....I went for my run, knowing full well that she didn't miss the bus. When I came home it was only 12:16 and she said, "im pretty sure I missed the bus" and I know it was impossible. The bus drops the elementry kids off at 12:15, the bus isn't back 1 min later to pick up the high shcool kids! My plan was to get on the bike after I came home but I didn't do that either. I am showered and am gonna run out to do a few things in a min.

Wendy** Nice workout. I don't think I can give my sis Intensity....I kind of had my mind made up that I was keeping that one....but maybe...just MAYBE I will take your advice into consideration! LOL

Diana** DH and I spoke about not exchanging gifts as well but its s trickt situation b/c I think he would still get me something and then I would feel like a total idiot. He told me that he already ordered me something expensive and I will never guess what it is. I am thinking its another peice of equipment or a laptop. I said the other day I would like to have a laptop....or as my mom would say a labtop! LOL I bet you guys can't wait to see the girls!!!

Jacque** Gots to love the bum DOMS! I know I do! Sounds like work is brutal lately. No fun!

So...with all the parcel I have coming in the mail, not one as arrived yet today. I have stuff coming for DS, clothes and UGGS for DD and my WORKOUTS!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My luck DD's stuff will come when she is home. Hopefully the brand label won't be on the outside of the box.

BBL!
Lori

Lori:: UGGS! I have 3 pairs and I LURVE them soooo very much! If I lived in Cananda where it's cold more months of the year, I would love them even more!!!!!!! Your sister NEEDS Intensity! Come on! It's the season for giving! Get with the holiday spirit and give her the dang work out! You can order the replacement for yourself TODAY if you want! JUST DO IT! lol
