Damage Control HUMP DAY!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning Girls

I am using the "weird" computer again so lets see how far I get before it starts going all over the place. I don't think the thread is started...I couldn't see it anywhere.

I felt good all day yesterday. I am guessing whatever upset my stomach, I finally got up. If I knew that on sat I would have forced myself to yuck up then

Had a great nights sleep last night. DS was late going to bed so he didn't get up until 8:30....which means I didn't get up until 8:30.

The plan today is housework! Yipee! I have been doing dribs and drabs here and there but nothing worth talking about. I really need to start from the top and work my way to the bottom. If DS gets in the tub...like he usually does, then I should have no prob starting upstairs while he is playing. Upstairs seems to take the longest.

So I don't think we are going to Vegas so now I am back looking at Cuba! I would be soooo excited if we could go but DH doesn't seem to be that interested. While I keep waiting for a sweet deal to happen, the trips end up selling out. A flight leaves from here every Wed and goes to Cuba so a few days in advance, the flights are pretty cheap. I think one resort would have only cost us $3000 for all of us...and thats all inclusive...cheap trip I think. We are also getting back money this year, we normally do but I think this is the most...$5600. So excited about that. I am starting to love tax season! Should have to do it twice a yr! LOL Anyway....I doubt we will be going anywhere. One minute DH says that he wouldn't be able to leave the kids and the next minute he says that he would like to go it alone. Who can pick sense in that? Atleast when we take them with us we don't have to worry about them.

O.k...I have to give DH back is computer cause he needs to get to work. I will read personals on DD's computer when I get a chance.

BBL!

Hello.

Can't "socialize" right now. Just wanted to check in quickly with my work out for this morning:

IMAX 2 thru 8th interval (cut short for time)
Oblique ab work from Sculpt

Very sore from y'day's work out. Love it! Should have taken ibuprofen this morning though.

BBL!

Super Duper Happy Hump Day Ladies !

Well nothing to report for workouts on my end. Guess since my "vacation" was nothing but workouts, my workout time the last two nights has been "vacation". Not really since I tried to catch up on my bill paying and almost made it. DH did not work much y'day again (that was part of the fun - didn't know he was only working part of 3 days per week for a while). Now I have to figure out the $ - wish I would have known. Then he is home and ready for dinner which hasn't left me enough time to do a workout and the other nightly stuff.

So . . . Hump Day seems like a great day to start Meso 3 so that will be my plan. Hoping I can stick to it.

Lori - Sounds like you have a nice vaca planned - will DH go if you book it? It is a tough decision whether to take kids or not - but those resorts these days have plenty of things for the kids to do. Even the one in SD had a Kids Club and a floor for the teens. Hope you get him to say yes to something soon. You deserve a break.

Wendy - great job on the workout. Has it been a while since you ventured a Cathe workout? Seems like it. Then you pick Imax ! You go girl !

Laura - well you have my sun and I want it back ! We are in a rainy spell again but it isn't real cold, mid-60's. I had a wonderful sunny warm weekend - it really renews my spirit. I am not sure with our nearly "sunless" winter and my draggy mood that I would make it in a place where the sun doesn't shine througout the year. Enjoy it - it really has helped me. LOL about the turkey hunting and SIL & DH's competition ! How was plyo class and the shoulder - did SIL stay away or at least modify?

Diana - did you make it to BC last night? I hope so - I need to get my Bum in gear and start workin out again. Feel like I have too much catch up at home to do. Still haven't seen all the RT pics yet or looked to see if the videos are posted.

Jennifer - you driving back up today? Have a safe drive - the rain is coming off and on up here.

Off to get the day started - toodles.

Good Morning Ladies,

Well this week seems to be flying by...especially when you're busy every night. No, I did not make it to BC last night. Jerod had a game and I stayed and watched the whole thing. Another win....they've only lost 1 game so far.

I'm starting Meso 3 this morning...think its chest, shoulders and triceps. I'm not sure though. I'm also taking my w/o clothes to work so I can run at lunch. It was 82 yesterday and supposed to be mid 70's today. Unfortunately, we are expecting snow thurs/fri. Hopefully it will just be at the higher elevations.

Wendy-nice w/o this morning. I've been wanting to do Imax 3... I hear yah on the abs. I haven't been doing nearly as much ab work as I should. Yes, you run run run all over with kids in sports. It's important for them to be active and participate in activities with other kids anyway. You will be just fine!

Lori-glad you are feeling better. My house needs cleaned too. It's hard to keep up with everything. We usually pay off any left over xmas bills with our tax returns. This year we had to pay off some travel expenses and car repairs. Not fun at all. Hope you and DH can figure out what to do for vacation.

Jacque-I'm starting meso 3 today also! Thanks for reminding about the bills. Our mortgage usually comes out automatically, but we received a notice that our loan has been sold. This month we have to write a check to the new bank. I'm making myself a note right now so I don't forget. I too am having a hard time getting back in the groove.

Laura-what's on your agenda for today?

Jennifer-hope you have a safe drive home today.

Now I'm late starting my w/o. I had some internet issues and spent about 20 minutes trying to get on here. I will do as much as I can this morning.

rain rain go away

Wendy, Lori, Jacque, Laura, and Diana!

Thanks for welcoming me to Damage Control. I met Jacque and Diana at the Road Trip.

Today is a day doing business. I thought I'd drive up to the Bay Area today, but Dad wants me to stay another day so he can sign over Paul's truck to me. Isn't he generous?

The only W/O I've done since Sunday is a brisk walk from the airport when I dropped off the rental car. It was productive. I broke a sweat.

Clean eats today, and more cleaning out of my brother's belongings.

But I"ll see my kids and DH tomorrow fo sho!! Have a great day.

Hey girlies!!

DOMS report BUTT - inner thigh - hammies - calves and abs OH MY .. not sure what did it .. Plyo class or MON combined w/Plyo class but YOWZA ... I did class where I took 3 plyo moves - repeated 15 reps each - rest 30 sec - then repeated same 3 - rest 30 sec - then ONE body part exercise .. didnt go to floor for abs till 50 minutes in . the shoulder held up for burpess (guess the legs taking most of the weight helped) .. but when i tried a plank .. it would not support my weight sooooooo it is no where healed .. alhtough I had better range of motion .. I will probably end up back at the docs for some electrode therapy!! SIL of course came (hard head) .. she was still in pain .. but made it thru but the burpees hurt her .. and then she got worse ended up leaving on abs I know she is hurting b/c she NEVER gives up or out ... she swears she is teaching kickboxing tonight ... I just dont see why or HOW she is gonna do it ..

Lori .. glad you are feeling better .. $3000 for an all inclusive in Cuba .. heck girl go for it .. but I would be scared to go to Cuba ..LOL .. but staying in a resort area you should be fine .. Mexico is having huge gang/drug wars .. and we have warning posted from US NOT to go into Mexico near border areas b/c of the violence towards us ... but they say the resort areas are fine and secure ... ??? .. we were wanting to go back to Mexico .. or Jamaica .. soooo I think I am leaning toward Jamaica ...

Wendy .. we are DOMing together .. it IS a good feeling .. we are sooo warped!!!! great workout for the morning .. WTG girl!

Jacque .. yes we have sunshine today and loads of it .. high is to get to 78 ... I am sooooo excited .. wish I didnt have to work .. I would be pool side today .. LOL .. but since I dont have class I think DH and I are gonna meet after work and go fishing on the lake .. the crappie are running .. so I can enjoy some sunshine AND fishing ..

Di .. man hate you missed BC .. but I know you enjoyed watching DS game!! I cant believe your weather goes from 80's to SNOW .. man .. and I thought OUR weather varied a lot .. wow .... that is INSANE!!!

Hello to Jen and NewJen ...

OK .. soo not sure what workout I can do today .. upper body is OUT ... lower body is SORE ... since it is GORGEOUS out a power walk on the nature trail might be in order for today. then goofing off this afternoon w/DH .. OK .. gotta jet have a great one ..and GREAT SWEATY workouts!!!

 

[Fit_mommy]

Hello again.

I have a few minutes left over in my lunch break so I figured I'd try to catch up on some personals while I have the chance...

Lori:: I love going away childless and have gotten over worrying when I am gone! I used to worry about DS when he was younger but by the time he became a toddler I was pretty much over it! Glad your belly is feeling better.

Jacque:: Yeah after a Cathe road trip, taking a couple rest days is not a problem. TRUST ME! I am all over with the instructors I use. Cathe was in the mix with Leandro somewhere. These next several days are very KCM heavy with lots of Cathe and some Leandro thrown in the mix. Sorry about your DH's job issues. Hope it gets better soon! (((HUGS)))

Diana:: I still haven't conquered IMAX 3's choreo yet so it takes a lot of talking myself into it to do it. I never do the whole thing either. I love IMAX 2 though. It's one of the few step work outs I still enjoy doing.

Punky/Jen:: Walking is great. It can be a great purposeful work out or if you just speed up a walk to anywhere you get a bonus work out whenever you want one! I park in a parking garage for work and usually park on the 4th or 5th level. I take the stairs both ways. No elevator for me!

Laura:: Hello to my sister in DOMS! LOL Your SIL needs to be careful before she really messes herself up!!!

Okay, lunch time is over...back to lurking and posting incognito!

BBL!

Back to report a WONDERFUL and MUCH NEEDED powerwalk in the BEAUTIFUL sunshine WOW .. I didnt realize how much I missed the sun on my body ... did increase the sweat factor but I didnt mind .. SIL went w/me and we had to stop 3 or 4 times .. she is hurting .. I talked to her hard about doing too much ... and now that she is 35 and exercises so heavy that her body is telling her to slow down .. used my old worn out body for example . ..LOL ... urged her to go to see the dr/chiro and talked to her about how in the world could she teach kickboxing like she is hurting ... I figured it fell on deaf ears .. but she CANCELED class WOW .. I am so proud of her .. maybe she listened and will listen to her body ....???? ...

anyway .. not a super duper workout .. but a much need soul/spirit revitalization workout!!! I am happy!!!

Hi Girls,

Well I was way late getting started on my w/o this morning. I put in Chest and Back but realized it was an hour long, alternating C&B exercises. I pulled it out of the DVD player and popped in 40/20. It was a great w/o and I did pretty good today.

I screwed something up at work and had to fix it....taking my time to run at lunch. I deleted a production site...I work on our employee portal and accidentally deleted a site that is being used in production. This is very BAD BAD BAD. I recreated the site since the guy that does the restore is on vacation. I did tell my boss but think I've got everything back as it should. At any rate, I did manage a walk around 2 of our buildings in the business park..pretty short but at least I got outside.

Thankfully there is nothing going on tonight! I can clean off the kitchen table which is full of mail, pay the bills, and get some laundry done. Hopefully I'll get to bed at a decent hour so I can be up early for STS.

DOMser-Laura's new name!!! I didn't make it to our makeup BC class either. Bootcamp is over mid april and outdoor BC doesn't start until June. When I was using Ms. Fit's program, my body hurt all the time. I did get good results, but it is hard to push yourself like that all the time. Glad you had a talk with her. She needs to take care of herself. Have fun fishing this afternoon.

Wendy-I'm already looking forward to something other than STS. I'm going to stick it out for the last mesocycle though. You bought Imax 3 mostly for the blasts anyway and I know you do them every now then!! Imax 2 is a fun one! STS doesn't allow much for your exercise ADD, but its only 3 days per week and you can do whatever cardio you like.

PunkyJen-enjoy the rest of your time with your dad. I'm sure it's not easy going through your brother's things. {{{HUGS}}} Your son will cherish the truck he got from his grandpa!!

Hey Girls!

Busy day...of course it was my only day off this week I cleaned in the a.m, ran when DH came home for lunch, met with a friend, went to the grocery store and then it was time to make dinner. Ugh! Back to work tomorrow and I am trying to decide if I should go in early. The new owners arrive @ 8:30 so I am thinking I should be there when they arrive but will they really notice if I am there or not? If I do go in early then that means I need to either get up REALLY bright and early to run or take a rest day. I wouldn't have to get up much earlier. Probably 6 and start working out by 6:30.

Wendy** Good job with your workout. I never use to worry about DD to much cause she was good kid and she didn't mind being away from us. DS on the other hand, is bit of a handful (although when we aren't around he is a angel) and he doesn't quit understand the fact that we are gone or how long we are gone for. After the day I punched today, I was ready to buy a one way ticket somewhere, ANYWHERE!

PunkyJen** Sounds like you are having a nice visit with your dad! Enjoy it! Im sure you are ready to get home to your kids and hubby though.

Laura** We have been to Cuba 2 x's already. It is safe and they love canadians....americans...not so much We went off of the resort both times but I wouldn't bother this time, there isn't much to see. People like to ask for money. One time while we were waiting for the bus a lady started asking us for a dollar, we wouldn't give her any b/c we figured that there were 5 others watching. So then she finally says "ok...3 dollars then" LOL I don't think she knew how to count! Sounds like you had a nice walk. How is SIL's weight holding up these days?

Diana** Oh...I would be in sooo much trouble cause I would not be able to fix that site! LOL I am nooooo good with computers! Sounds like you have been busy, no wonder your week is flying by. You have barely had time to blink.

Jacque** I don't know if I can convince DH of anything, which makes me think he has something up his sleeve. He isn't talking about vacationing at all. He did try to book vegas but that was it. He wants to go on vaca but he doesn't talk about it. Its bizarre. So I give up I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't already have something booked and isn't telling me.

I will bb in the a.m!
Lori

Back for a quickie . . .

Work is pretty heavy with lots of issues but the good thing is it looks like the Sr mgmt team is counting me in on a few projects so I am happy ! So while I was running from one mgr to another and sitting down chatting I got up once and pulled a mid-back muscle. Well STS was Chest & Back (as Diana mentioned) so figure I'll go BBL, adding Sculpt for a little muscle work and then start next week. Not sure if I'll catch up to you Diana, but will need to take at least 2 days off work this month so very possible I'll finish sometime near you.

BB in the AM girlies !
