DAMAGE CONTROL***MARCH***

Hi Ladies,

I've been requested to apply for a position in another department. I'm going to put my name in the hat but am not holding my breath. I won't go into detail now but will share when I find anything out.

Today ended up being a rest day. The plan for tomorrow is AT/bootcamp, Friday will be Imax 3 and Saturday will be back to the rotation.

Wendy-I felt that since you were working out and doing something you enjoyed I should keep my mouth shut since you are very familiar with my take on SS! :D Your dinner looks delish by the way. Glad you got the unemployment going. I have looked at the myomy site several times but haven't tried any yet.

Laura-{{Hugs}}I'm sure your friend has come to terms with this terrible illness. It is probably much harder for everyone else. Hope your regular vet has better news for you. Your reg vet knows you and Buster better than anyone. A second opinion from someone you trust is a great idea. Even if he agrees with the specialist, you know and trust his judgement.

bbitam!

Well ystdy..got things straight ..my dr made me feel better..he said in humans or animals it is a guessing game on doses n meds bc everyone reacts differently ...so..ok..i feel better about that at least...we r back in AU today for recheck..buster seeing cardiologist...soooooo..ya that makes me feel better..hoping for not so tragic news..

Wendy and Di..thanks for the kind words n thoughts...it means a lot...and..it is sad..and i dont know what to do about it...well there isnt really anything anyone can do..but pray for comfort..for her and her family and friends ...

Anyway..my exercise plans have been derailed..big time..but the stress and no appetite..has taken toll on my body...

Ok..send some prayers Busters way..n pray we get doable news....

Thanks girls!
 
Good Morning. :)

I kept my promise and only did Yoga but I think I picked the toughest (doable) yoga work out I own!:eek: It was fantastic!!!! I did Bob Harper's Yoga for Warriors and I loved it!!! I have tougher yoga work outs but they are not doable for me because the poses go far beyond what my body has the ability to do. THIS work out however was tough but all within my body's ability b/c it didn't require me to be gumby! :p

Di:: Why the negativity about getting the position you are applying for at work? :( If someone is suggesting you go for it they must think you are properly qualified! :) Fingers crossed for you! I hope you get it if that's what you want! If it's not then don't put in for it...

Laura:: Oh glad your regular vet made you feel better by explaining that to you. Good luck at AU with the cardiologist. I know the feeling of being stressed/upset with no appetite or energy to work out. When I was going through my tough time at the end of last year I felt the same way. You will know when you are ready to resume your normal schedule...for now just concentrate on getting through this rough patch. Things will turn around for you...!!!
 
Hi Ladies,

This morning was AT as planned....loving that workout more and more! I have bootcamp class tonight, only two more weeks left I think. Next I will be in tri-training and then it will be time for summer bootcamp!

The rec ctr is having a summer bootcamp demo next Wednesday. Anyone who attends will have the opportunity to win 3 months of summer bootcamp class for free!!! Hope they draw my name!!!

Wendy-I will PM you later. I've never done the BH yoga, glad it was a nice w/o for you.

Laura-Hugs girl...praying for DF comfort at this most difficult time. Hopefully Busters new meds will make a noticeable difference.

gotta run....
 
I just had an "ATTACK" and OD'd on chocolate chip cookies. :eek: ACK! I HAD to have them though. Don't ask me why! Once in a while I just have to gorge on crap until I feel gross and guilty for it and then I get over it and it's back to life as usual for a while.... :rolleyes: Am I wierd?? :p

BBITAM!
 
Good Morning Ladies!

TGIF for sure!!! I do have to work for a bit tomorrow but expect it to go fairly quickly.

The plan for this morning is Imax 3, but I may opt for something a tad easier. Still feeling under the weather..myself, DH, DS2 an DS3 are all sick. DS2 plans on going to the dr. for some meds. Jerod and I finished our meds but still aren't better. Tired of not feeling 100%.

Wendy-I seem to be the binger in the group, no worries as you will be back on track in no time. Following WW really helps keep me on track with that. I previewed your w/o, it looks great. Goodness, she uses a heavy KB for sure. My heaviest KB is 30#'s.

FRI

Hey ..

Back to work after a LOOOOOONG day ystdy - had a RUFF night last night -after getting 'doable' news ystdy - got home - breathed a sigh of relief - and right before bed Buster started throwing up - and I was up and down ALL night w/him - have a call into AU .. but of COURSE no word yet - so our vet said bring him in - short of long of it is - the heart med level is WAY high and he is toxic now .. and our vet going to hook up IV and try to flush some of it out of his system :( LORD HELP ME - he will either have to turn around or the inevitable isnt far off :(:(:(:( -

I am working red eyes - no sleep - and pounding head ..

Wendy - looks like a great w/o - i had to giggle on the 'binge" .. LOL .. ya sometimes the urge just hits you .. and you GOTTA have something indulgent - MINE usually is somethig like CHEESE stix .. or FRIED chicken .. LOL!! Not a big dessert binger - although i do have my moments sometimes!

Di - so summer bootcamp is coming up - i know how you enjoy that - you know with all that is going on now - I am so glad I am not teaching .. b/c I honestly dont know how I could of done it .. everything does happen for a reason .. even tho we may not like it!!

My friend is hanging in - sleeping more comfortable - thinking they found right dosage of meds for her to be comfortable at night :) VBF went over and had a beer on the porch w/her ystdy - said they had a couple good laughs and she was in good spirits .. :D .. yes that made me smile!

OK .. so plan is survive this STORMY day - get hair done at lunch - go home and have a much needed date night w/DH (IF my baby dog is ok) .. then tmrw - I am hoping to exercise (first time in a week) .. thinking AB or AT needs to be tackled first! have a great one!
 
Hello again...My work out went as planned except I decided to do yoga relax instead of the sts stretch. I did 35-40 minutes of it skipping only the opening warm up segment and the balance poses I think.

Diana:: Sorry you and your family are still struggling with illnesses. Hope everyone is in good health soon! Wow-you've got quite the line up of classes there girl! Good for you! My son starts karate next month! We are all very excited! :D IDK what weight her KB's are but my heaviest is 30# as well. I went light today because it's dubbed a cardio work out. I went super light (10#) with the vertical pull burpees for 2 reasons..1-first time ever trying to do that move 2-afraid it would aggravate my shoulder if I went heavier. And for the swings I only used a 20# bell. Heavy weight was NOT required to get the cardio factor into over-drive for this work out! :eek: I also omitted push ups from the regular burpees for the good of my bum shoulder. This work out was definitely good stuff!:)

Laura:: So your sick friend is home. Okay good. For some reason I thought she was laid up in the hospital. So much nicer when they can be home...OMG your poor pup. Bringing back memories of what I went through with our family dog when he got sick. I'm so sorry! :( I hope you can atleast blow off some steam/stress with a good date night!!!

Ok, gotta get somethin' done around here before I get let go from this job too! ;):p:D

BBL!:cool:
 
Hi Girls,:)

Sorry I haven't been checking in lately....just to busy around here. I use to check in in the morning while I was feeding DS but now I get up, pump my milk and feed it to him from a bottle before my workout so that leaves me with no free hands.

Things are good. His sleeping patterns are still the same..all over the place is his pattern:confused: I bought Insanity Asylum, I know Diana has it....not sure who else. Anyway, so far I have done 4 workouts and I really enjoy it. I don't think they are as tough as the original insanity but still tough and leaves me sore the next day. Im gonna follow the rotation for 30 days and see what happens:p

We are going on a RT shortly...I need a change of scenery! Im going to try to start checking in again.

Hope everyone is doing well! Time to dry my hair and get these kiddos ready!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning.

This morning I did::

20 minutes of jump rope intervals (made last interval mountain climbers just for fun!) + Yoga for the Warrior = Great work out! :D

What did you all do? What are everyone's plans for today?

We will be going to Kohl's after lunch-20% coupon!;) That's pretty much the only plan for the day. I'll be making pizza again for dinner tonight cause it was so much fun last week! Then after dinner will be our usual games with Joey and have a few drinks and relax type of night. Tomorrow I have a baby shower to go to so my entire day will be shot.

Nice of you to pop in Lori!:p So where did your RT lead you and your troops today? Hope it was fun! OMG I remember attempting to breast feed. It didn't work. Then I attempted to do the pump thing. UGH. What a pain in the ass and it really didn't work anyway! I think I waited too long. Oh well. I give all successfull breast feeding/pumping moms credit for sure!:)

Thinking of you Laura. HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diana, are you and family showing any signs of finally kicking your illnessness?

Time for a shower...

BBL or tmrw ladies!:cool:
 
Hi ladies,

Yesterday I did Lowmax instead of Imax 3. It was a nice change of pace and my body appreciated that.

Today is back to STS UB, not sure which disc....will figure it out when I get downstairs later today. Tomorrow one of my bike riding friends is going to help me out with my bike, how to ride, shift, hills etc. I'm looking forward to it.

I did get into the triathlon and my tri-training starts on April 10th. Tri-training starts right after spring fitness ends and will take me right up to summer bootcamp!:p:p:p

I had to work last night and again today. I should be able to do everything from home. We have our first check-in call in about 15 mins. The plan is to start my workout after the call. The network folks will be doing there thing for about 2 hours and then us testers will have to log in and validate all our systems are up and running appropriately. Shouldn't take long though, unless there are problems. Hopefully there won't be.

Wendy-Nice w/o yesterday and today!!! DS2 finally got some meds from the Dr. yesterday. We keep opening our windows hoping the fresh air will help clear out this cold. Have fun at Kohls. I have a 20% off coupon but I need to pay off our splurge from using the 30% off coupon last month!

Lori-so nice of you to pop-in.:) Asylum is totally different from Insanity, definitely still tough. Game Day and Vertical Plyo are my favs from this series. Hope you had fun time out....wherever you ventured off to. I'm with Wendy on the breastfeeding. I nursed my oldest without issue, started nursing with the other 2 but it just didn't work out for me. Ended up with mastitis with my 3rd son...that was it for me.

Laura-hope your vet is able get Buster and his meds back under control. Poor guy, I feel so bad for both of you. You need to enjoy as much time as possible with your dbf, you will treasure these times forever!

Need to get ready to call in...work work!! bbl

Hi Ladies,

I ended up doing STS Totaly Body yesterday. Once my tri-training starts I'm going to switch to FB endurance w/o's like ME, PH and HR, and maybe even some circuits too. I'm our coach will offer plenty of training advice.

Today I met up with a friend and learned how to ride my bike. I was a little unstable at first due to the narrow tires of the road bike. We rode 15 miles including the training we did in a long open parking lot. Once I I was comfortable shifting we went out on to the road and rode part of the race route. I'm not very comfortable going fast...maybe that will come later. I did fine on the flats and uphills, downhills and speed made me a bit nervous.

Laura-nice that Buster is much more comfortable and you were able to finally get some much needed rest. Take your furbaby outside and enjoy the beautiful weather! I've been doing AT and really enjoy that w/o. I'll need to get back to AB too.

Wendy-so what'd ya find at Kohl's? I haven't had much luck there lately for me, but the boys have gotten jeans, socks, boxers, etc. I'm looking for some cute flat or low heeled sandals I could wear with dresses or capris this summer.

Lori-Saw your FB post...you're doing it wrong. I woke up DH to go take care of the baby. Well I only did that after I had to go back to work (6 wks), but since your off for a whole year....good luck getting DH to get up. May be more trouble than it's worth! Speaking of your DH, when does his training start?

bbl
 
Good Morning:)

I slept well last night, a sleep before 11 and the baby didn't wake till 4...so in my eyes, thats good! He woke again at 7 and even though he went back to sleep and no one else is up, I figured I would get up cause I feel good. Also gives me a little bit of quiet time. Its kind of useless to go back to sleep cause I would have only gotten another 50 mins or so.

Yesterday's workout was 60 mins of running and STS FB. Not sure if I am sore yet but I went heavy with the weights. It was the first time I did the ab section in that worout b/c I was pregnant when I bought it, I liked it.

Wendy** Sounds like you had a nice weekend. I enjoy nursing, its easy for me. I will probably do it until the summer rolls around or I can put him on whole milk (not sure when that is, if its a yr...forget it!) We didn't go to far on our RT, just to the next town. DH didn't have any sneakers in his store for me and he can get discounts at this other sports store. Unfortunatly they didn't have any either:confused:

Diana** Signed up for a tri hey? Thats great. How far is the bike ride, I forget. There was a mini tri here a couple of yrs ago, not sure if they organized one last yr or not. It is something I would be interested in doing to but I would need a bike a tracking one for that, isn't easy. Most people around here have mountain bikes, not road bikes.

Laura** I didn't read through all of the post cause I don't have the time but Im gathering that buster is still sick??? That's crazy! What are you gonna do?? Im crossing my fingers that he pulls through.

So...after our RT on Sat, I went to another store and bought my sneakers. I felt really rushed b/c they were closing and when I am rushed I make fast purchases that later come back to haunt me. It was buy one get one half price and the most expensive pair was $200......don't ask me why I thought this was a good idea. After I came home I got the guilts and I think I am going to retuen them. If I were training for another mary I would probably keep them but for the bit of running I am doing right now, I don't need a shoe that expensive. The other pair that I bought for half price I am going to keep though. Not to mention our family pics arrived and I had to write a check for almost $400.

DH still hasn't heard when he will be going away. It will most likely be May or June now. He is getting so anxious waiting for his call but they didn't realize that they didn't have his high schoool dipolma until the other day so I am guessing his file hasn't been sent for referal yet.

Alright...enough chatting. My day isn't as busy so I will try to check in later!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning.

Today's work out was Tonique Cardio Mat, Booty Barre Upper Body and Slim Series Express Cool It off (stretching). :) It took a looong time to complete so I feel like half of my day is gone already even though I started my work out at 8am! I didn't finish until 10 and by the time I showered, dressed, made something to eat and sat down to relax a bit it was 11 and NOW it's 11:30!? :eek::rolleyes: I need to get a move on! :eek:

I will BBL for personals though. Just want to cross a few things off my to-do list first! ;)

Lator Gators!:cool:
 
MON

HELLYA I will take that! :) DH and I took them for a golf cart ride and DH HIT A FFFFN TREEE :confused: I was in back and went flying forward .. and banged my head and shoulder on rail bar .. EEEEOOOUCH .. I have huge goose egg on shldr and head .. it was right above my temple .. PRAY i dont have blood clot .. that scared hell out of me .. pretty sure have concusion .. minior one .. it didnt knock me out .. GOOD THING FOR HARD HEAD!!! ;)

WEndy - great workouts .. wow that was a long one this mornign .. you should have doms by tmrw!!

Di - we did enjoy this beautiful weekend we had .. Buster had a great day... and that made my DH b-day .. till the treee incident .. he felt soooo bad!!! poor guy!!

Lori - what kind of running shoes did you buy - i have got to get some more - and cant find my Mizuno's that i love .. dang it!!

did you hear Carcio Coach Sean DIED .. OMG .. I am shocked and saddened .. what a loss!!! I think if my head will allow I am going for a run this afternoon .. CC#7 .. just for him ... :(

OK .. better run .. this mrng has flown by .. we are short handed .. I am on cash counter today w/the boss ... have a great one!
 
Hi Ladies,

My only workout today was my class tonight. Tomorrow I will do weights or circuit in the a.m. and run at lunch.

Laura-Good to hear Buster is doing a better. Bummer about the wreck, hope you everyone and your golf cart too it okay. I'm sure DH feels terrible about it. OMG, I'm so sad to hear about Coach Sean. I haven't seen any details, whatever the cause, it is a tremendous loss to our fitness community.

Wendy-your working on your to do list which includes your daily workout...its all good!:p

Lori-the tri is short, it's actually called the Mini HaHa. It's swim 12 lengths of the pool (6 laps), 11 mile bike ride, 2 mile run. I've done it once before using a mtn bike and it was awful which is why I've never done it again. Now that I have a road bike it should be more fun.

bbitam:D
 
TUE

Well good news my baby dog started eating last night :D:D:D:D maybe he is on meNd for now!! WELL MY EMT FRIEND TOLD ME NO EXERCISE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS - thinks i have a slight concusion :( :mad: and she said .. I do not need to exert myself for a couple of days. So REST day again ystdy - today I did go to the center and do the heavy weights /machines - at least that is something!

I go to obgyn yrly DR for my check up tmrw - I think I am gonna mention my head and crash and the fact that I will be flying in next 2 weeks .. maybe he will order MRI just to make sure no clots or anything funny with it!

Di - everyone else on the golf cart was fine .. THANK GOD .. I was only crash victim .. LOL! .. and only thing I can find out about Coach Sean - is that "died at his house" ... I cant imagine -

Wendy - are you still shopping at KHOLES???? lol

Hello to Lori and Allee...

Have a great one .. workout for me please!
 
Hello Ladies.

Yeup, the early bird is a little late today! Sorry! :p

I only finished my work out a few minutes ago! :eek: I wasn't feeling well this morning so I put it off until, thankfully, I finally felt better!

I did 4DS kickboxing and heavy legs-did the weights first premix. It's included abs too. Finished it off with the STS Extended Stretch. :)

Laura:: Glad to hear that Buster is eating again. Hope you are okay after that head injury! I'm sure you are but never hurts to get it checked out if you are at all concerned! LOL re Kohls. Nope not still there but gotta get back to spend my Kohls cash and if I time it right, my coupon will still be good too and they can be used together! WOOT! :D

Diana:: You make a very good point about my work outs being on my to-do list! ;) How was class last night? Did you get both weights/circuit and the run in today as planned?

Lori:: So you won't be one of those moms who is still nursing when the kid is old enough to talk and walk, huh? :p:D Oh thank goodness! :rolleyes: That's just well...eeewwwww! LOL So are you sore from y'day's work out? It was a doozy for sure! I was always a fan of STS FB. I keep looking at it. I want to fit it in but have yet to do so. :eek: So many work out so little time. :(

BBL or in the morning!:cool:
