Good Morning Girls!

Last night my plans didn't go as I thought. We were getting ready to go to the b-day party, I had all the girls picked up and then I decided to call DD and see where she was. She told me she was at Tim Horton's so b/c it was right across the st, I decided to check it out. I drove by...she wasn't in there! I was so mad! She wasn't far so I poked her in the jeep and took her home. That was enough to ruin my night, I won't go any further. So I dropped the girls off, we lectured DD and then I went to bed. I still didn't get a crazy nights sleep b/c it was after 11:30 before i went to bed, set my alarm for 7 but DS decided to get up at 6:30 AGAIN!:mad:

Wendy** Glad to hear you started feeling better yesterday evening? How was the shower? I bet you will #1 today!

Diana** As my above post mentioned...this is the kind of stuff I was asking you about yesterday. I let her out of the house and I never know what choices she is gonna make. Drives me nuts! Sometimes when i think about having the 3rd, i think about what these teenage years are like and i don't think I can do this 3 x's! Hope Jerod as a good day!!!! I like MMA boxing. I don't think they are any others I really want to buy though. I bought the 4 that appealed to me and I don't feel the need to buy the other 4.

Jacque** Happy to hear you got alot accomplished yesterday! Nice workout to. You should give them a call re:the job, you never know. How do you like your new boss? Yesterday I found out that the guy next door (at work) applied on the managed position with us. OMG!! If he gets it, I don't think I could stay! He is a ral pain and negative!? Not even the word to discribe him. I would much rather stay with the boss I have. He is a good boss, he is just driving me a little right now. I bet he will be there when I go in today.

Jen** Sounds like you had some good workouts. I don't remember the last time I did nothing. I can't even do nothing in the morning anymore cause DS isn't having that. I have already been up and down about 3 x's with him:mad:

O.k...today was gonna be a rest day b/c I thought i was gonna get to sleep in b/c of the b-day party, now that DS as me up...its just as well that I workout! Im not gonna do anything crazy though;)

BBL!

Good Morning Girls!

I was in bed at 9 last night and up at 6:15 this morning. I was exhausted last night. A good night's sleep for a second night in a row felt fantastic. I am wondering if I got sick because I am getting less sleep during the week with the new job...I get up earlier but have not been successful in getting to bed any earlier. I don't feel particularly tired most days but who knows. Could be the culprit!

If I continue to feel okay I think I want to give working out a go. Nothing long or super intense....Perhaps KCM k/b work out #2 and I will forgo the weighted gloves this time.

Lori:: Sorry your DD lied to you. Teenagers!!!! I am hoping that Joey just skips that stage and goes from 12 to 21 in the blink of an eye! :p The shower is today at noon. Not sure if I am going yet but if I do I am sure it will be like all others...basically the same as every other one that I have been to and basically pretty boring! LOL

Diana:: So are you all ready for the party today? I rested as much as I could y'day but when I was feeling better it wasn't easy. Ended up doing light housework and reorganzing and then doing some laundry. I also took DS to McDonald's to eat dinner and play in those tube things. He enjoyed it. I am happy to report that I did not eat there. I waited until we got home and had something healthy. Go me! :D

Jacque:: I am not so sure that McDonald's play area was "fresh air" (LOL) but it was nice to watch him play. He had fun running around like a lunatic with the other kids there.

Okay, I think that catches me up for now. DS is apparently starving (when is he not? He's like his mother!!!!lol) so I gotta go make him something for breakfast. BBL!
 
Good morning ladies !

Up way too early again - either I am sleeping way too lightly lately or DH is getting way too noisy. Second night in a row I had to leave the bedroom cuz he was too noisy to sleep next to. At least y'day it was already 5, last night it musta been 2 or 3 so I headed to the guest room and that mattress is so uncomfortable compared to ours. Kinda tossed and turned and let the mind wander. UGH ! :confused:

Lori - sorry about the teen troubles. My boys weren't too bad but my daughter needed a tight rein. She didn't trek off by herself much so that was good. Did get into trouble (though not too badly) a few times. I'd not want to go through all that again. It is sometimes hard for them to find things to do when they aren't otherwise occupied with sports, activities or work. Mine did theater nearly all year round as they got older and so I knew most of her friends and their parents. I think that is the key. Knowing their friends and parents. Even if you don't agree with everything the parent are/do, at least if you can keep communication there it helps. The other thing that pops into my mind is: don't they have GPS on cell phones now? Can you program hers for that? :p I made my daughter call me from her friends house phone and a couple times made her let me talk to the parents. A parent network was great around here as I'd hear things that happened from other parents. And then picking the battles became important too. It gets exhausting getting on them for everything so I tried to deal with the more important things and just mention some of the lesser issues. I do feel for you but you'll make it through like the rest of us. They definitely have their own personalities. Hopefully DS won't be as trying on your patience in those ways.

I do hope that I'd receive a response to the job interview one way or another with it being such a large company. We always send a letter or make a phone call to those who have interviewed. Sometimes the process just takes longer than you expect. We have a new Pres and I wish I reported to him. I like my boss, the VP of Finance, but he is one to just hope things work themselves out and I think he may be feeling a bit uncomfortable cuz he knows I'm bored and may leave. The new Pres would take the bull by the horns from what I hear. We'll see how it all plays out. Sure hope that guy next door doesn't get a job with you ! That would be the pits !

Wendy - good to hear you got lots of sleep and are doing better today. You could have been run down from that. Sometimes the stress of a new job can do that too. It seems to be settling down for you though. A nice easy KB sounds like a good plan. Enjoy the shower if you end up going. Do you know lots of those that will be there? I love socializing . . .:p


Jen - I hear ya on the "kickin' back on the weekends" thing lately. I'm not sure if it is all the extra work, looking for another job or the ugly weather which has been much more dismal for us this year than in the past, but I don't hardly do a darn thing all weekend any more ! I used to be so productive ? :confused: Hoping that the longer days and eventually some sunshine will pull me out of this - It's just not me . . .

So did you check out your walls ! That was too funny :p. I remember my first house - it was a tract home but we got to watch it being built. Was so much fun and then you see exactly how it is put up and can question things. With our current house I just laugh at some of the things that were done.

Hope you kick that bug outta you soon - I want reviews on BBL ! :D

Diana - Tell Jerod HB from the CA DC'er ! Hope you got everything done y'day so you can enjoy the day. Nice of you to go to your niece's BB game with so much on your plate. Haven't checked to see if they won, but sounds like they have a good team. Woo Hoo !

Off to get more foffee and figure out when I can get started on my w/o. Sounds like the rain won't be until later - we'll see if DH is up for more tree trimming. :eek:
 
Hey Girls,

Im at work now and everyone was here to greet me when I got here!:confused: So I put on my best smile and pretended as if I didn't care that there were people under my feet. I think they are all gone now:D I have to come back to work tonight so Im not sure what time I will get outta here today. Sooner then later, thats forsure.

Todays workout was 5 miles on the TM mixed in with weights from BC. Good workout. I told my running partner I was game to do the marathon so now she needs to run it by her DH:eek: I think he gave her a hard time about doing the other one b/c he said that she was beating up her body for nothing. One month after her last marathon...there is a good chance he may think she as lost her mind.

Wendy** I knew you would feel better today! Lack of sleep is a big culprit when you get sick. My so called "friend" ;) always gets sick and its b/c she is stretching herself to thin all the time plus she always tries new diets and they never do anything for her. I think she as finally moved past not eating..she did that for a while to. I haven't been getting to bed as early as I like either:( 10:30 use to be my normal time now its more like 12 ish! Hope you get your workout in

Jacque** I know we will get through it and sometimes I wish I could fast forward but I don't want to lose years either! LOL She already thinks she is 18 so Im not sure what will happen when she is actually 18! Jail maybe? LOL I won't be visiting her. She was so lippy and cocky last night that I could have clocked her one right upside the head! But ya can't do THAT either. There is a difference in fear and respect but the two go hand in hand. I was afraid of my parents but not b/c they ever hurt me but b/c I respected them. The kids around here act as if no one can touch them, they are bigger and tougher then anything and they don't care. Thats what irritates us the most. We had to ask for her cell phone 4 x's last night before she gave it to us, then when I went to get her laptop she had it hid away! Can you imagine doing that when we were growing up? For one thing, nothing was handed to us on a silver platter...thats half the problem right there....I end my little speel now!

I will bbl!
Lori:)
 
I'm back.

I ended up doing the warm up and ab/core section from KCM K/B but then opted for some MMA:Boxing so I did the three combos only (no drills)...I caved and used the weighted gloves. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. :p I am still struggling with bouts of slight nausea and it got me during the first half of the ab/core work. I was contemplating not doing the k/b but ended up being okay. It was my first time doing the ab/core segment in that work out and I really liked it. It was different and I could feel it right off the bat! It was a nice little work out after 2 days off from being sick.

I have decided to opt out of the shower today. I am being bad and fibbing though. I am using the excuse that I am still not feeling well but TBH I just don't feel like going. Is that really awful? :confused::eek: I would not know many people there, it's an hour's drive away, my BFF is in the bridal party so she will be too busy to hang out with me and I am not good with people I do not know really well. All of that coupled with a great excuse to get out of it and it didn't take long for me to bail. Bad bad bad me! :rolleyes:

Gotta go for now but I'll try and get back later for personals!

Have a great day!
 
Just finished making pancakes for the boys and put brownies that DS and I made in the oven. We will take them with us when we to my FIL's for homemade pizza this afternoon! :D My appetite is not what it usually is yet (not even close though better then it was) but I think I will find a way to "force" myself to eat some pizza later. Leaving here in about an hour I think. Better go start getting ready....
 
Hi Ladies,

We had to cancel Jerod's bday party.:( It is snowing and will continue snowing all day, an additional 5" is expected. Obviously we do not want our friends and family driving in these weather conditions. Jerod is a little disappointed..but I told him we will have his cake tonight and take him out to dinner. Can you believe this, he wants to go to Jack in the Box. He's never been to one and they opened one up about a mile and a half from our house.

Since the party has been cancelled, I have plenty of time for filing all of our tax paperwork, shredding old documents, balancing the checkbook etc. It's a good feeling.

On the workout front...I have absolutely no idea what I will be doing today. It should be an all cardio day, but I may throw in Back & Bi's, not really sure right now.

Can someone send me the protein pancake recipe please. I want to make some to take to work with me this week. thx.

Lori-sorry you are having issues with DD. My DH is very strict and we never really had any problems with boys. Of course, like Jacque mentioned, we know all their friends and their friends parents. Many of the kids hang out at the rec ctr playing basketball or lifting weights, they can't really get into much trouble. It could be different too because DD doesn't have any siblings to hang out with. My older boys are just 2yrs apart and did things together.

Wendy-glad you are feeling better. No worries about skipping out on the shower, you are not a 100% and its probably best if you stay home anyway. Feel better. Hope you have a fun time at FIL's.

Jacque-My niece's team kicked butt, they've only lost 1 game all season. The playoff schedule should come out today. It's nice that we live near a lot of our family and we all attend each others kids games when possible. The HS is only a mile away, its hard not to go. It sounds like doing one body part/day is working out great for you. I love this mesocycle which is why I'm doing it twice. I'm not taking the scheduled rest days, just taking the rest day when needed.

Jen-glad you are feeling better! How's the new house look???

bbl
 
Back to report Bi's & Step Moves done . . . dump truck on the way ! :eek: *crossing fingers for the rain to come sooner rather than later* cuz I need to do my bookwork too !

Diana - Sorry about the party being cancelled. Did you spend lots of time getting food ready? That would be a bummer - having the house cleaned would be a plus !

For the panchakes I use 3 whites, 1/2 cup cottage cheese & 1/2 cup oatmeal.

Here's the Clean Eating Magazine recipe:

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PANCAKE

INSTRUCTIONS:Mix egg whites, oatmeal, preserves, cocoa powder, vanilla and whey protein in a blender. Spray a 6-inch pan with Pam and warm on medium heat. Pour the mixture in a pan, cover and cook for 4 or 5 minutes. Flip the pancakewith a spatula and cook for 1 or 2 more minutes or until the inside is fully cooked.

Serves 1

I don't add chocolate but rather simmer a cup of mixed berries for a bit and spoon over the top.
