** Damage Control...TGIF **

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

Im just getting us started! I was the last one to check in last night so I have nothing left to say

I called in sick today but told them that if they needed me to give me a shout and I should be able to get someone to watch DS for a little while. I told them that my sitter was sick, not us.

My SIL offered to take DS for a little while this a.m to give me a break so I may get my workout in then or when he as his nap. I just have cardio and abs planned for today!

BBL!

Hi Lori.

I waited for you to get us started. I knew you would. I am going to Vegas for a week! Leaving tmrw and coming back next Saturday! I am super excited to be going back out there but I hate to fly so it's a double-edged sword.

Yesterday's work out was an afternoon run of 4.65 miles with Grace. I put on a 60 min Itread and wanted to do the entire thing but my knee started to hurt too much for too long so I had to quit on it. Oh well. There's always next time, right?

GTG for now...time for breakfast in this house!

BBL for personals!

HAPPY FRIDAY ! ! !

Good morning girlies !

Lori - I am with you on taking advantage here and there when everyone else does. I only wish I could - I think about it but never do. Perhaps time for me to lighten up on my ethics and go along with everyone else at work?

Good to hear you get a break from your "little mister' this AM. Enjoy your uninterrupted workout !

Wendy - a whole week off, huh? Well how wonderful for you ! What does your DH do? I may have mine change careers ! LOL ! Now I see why you were worried about taking bands and getting a workout in here and there. Does you knee bother you every run or just long ones? Sorry you had to stop, but you logged a good amount anyway.

OK - scoop on my Dr. appt. yesterday. After 90 pin pricks and 15 shots, I'm not allergic to a dang thing ! ? So is all this pain, drippy nose, clogged throat a figment of my imagination? WTH?

They are going to do a CT scan to see if I have any sinus issues, I got some sprays that will help those with "sensitive sinuses" (apparently that is the diagnosis?), this allergist said that sometimes hormones or thyroid issues could cause these symptoms (though that is something I've never heard), and worse case, get some migraine meds from my general Dr.

After that lovely news (well at least I'm not in for weekly allergy shots !) I decided not to work out as I was soooo perplexed !

Today will be Cardio Kicks after work for me. Eating still stellar so I am in for another day. Think I need to up my cals a bit as I only hit 1,200 yesterday and all I was craving was junk so I just went to bed.

(All of a sudden my computer is in overtype mode here - anyone else had that experience recently? Is there a place to change it here on the forums? - I HATE THAT cuz I always go back and change what I have written! )

BBL to check in on everyone.

Hi Ladies,

I'm off work today!!!!! I have a dr. appt to have some hyperpigmentation, acne scars, etc removed from my face today. It's supposed to be painless, but she did say she puts numbing cream on my face before she starts. I'm guessing if it needs numbing, it's not really painless.

After my appt I will be doing disc 6, legs. I'm really looking forward to it. Since I'm off today I may even throw in some cardio. I really want to do the kickbox w/o I did yesterady, only in its entirety today! It's a fun one for me.

The meltdown class asked me to wear my hr monitor to class one night to give them a guage of how many calories we burn in one class. Last night I burned 534 calories. Of course that's based on my age, height, weight etc that's programmed into my hr monitor. We did a circuit, 1 mile of running then lat pull downs, tricep presses, bicep curls, 1 mile of running, 3 stations of ab work, 1 mile of running, leg press, leg curls, and calf raises.

Lori-The triathlon is called the mini haha, mini cuz it's short and haha cuz it's fun. That's the motto. Its a 300 meter swim, 11 mile bike ride and 2 mile run. It's for 1st timers really, not competetive triathletes. The rec ctr has training for this event and its either 2 days per week, 1 1/2 hrs each class or 3 days per week of 1 hour. Not sure DH would approve of buying a road bike for an 11 mile bike ride though.

Wendy-Oh, I didn't know you were going to vegas for the whole week. That's great. It will be a nice break for you.

I will bbl after may appt. I quess I will look pretty bad for a couple of days but I can live with that as long as it works.

How nice! Its only 11 and I already have my workout done...with no baby around! I did the stability ball ab workout from STS and Imax 3. My knees are really bothering me today though I think it was the run I did last night. It was pretty much an interval run for the whole 4 miles. I think all that pounding really got to my knees. Probably doesn't help that I haven't taken anything for my joints in about a week, I guess I need to start that again today!

Wendy** A full week! Who is taking DS? Your mom? I use to leave DD allllll the time! LOL But I have never left DS yet. Well, thats kind of a lie. We went away for one weekend back in Sept and that was the only time I left him. He was good all while we were gone but as soon as we came back he started to cry! Its almost as if he didn't realize we were gone and when we came back he looked at us like "WTH did you guys go?" and he stated to sob. I don't know if he missed us or if he was mad that he didn't get to go Either way, it was a nice weekend! You really need that time away from kids to connect with your spouse!

Jacque** So your a hypercondriact? LOL I know I didn't spell that right and I am to lazt to google the spelling! I guess thats a good thing that they didn't find anything but still for all, you know that there is something wrong. Its a good thing its not REAL serious, even though its still bothering you.

Diana** I think that mini is long enough I think people who run/swim/and bike the full thing must be crazy! I can't imagine it. I have a friend who as gotten into those things. When she lived here she was a recreational runner and exerciser. I think she mostly did it to keep her weight in check b/c she had a tendency to gain alot of weight. She moved away a few years ago....gee...it was the yr we got married so thats 8 yrs now! Where does the time go? Anyway....since moving to the city she has gotten into races and triathlons. And again, I look at that and think...if she can do it...so can I. I just can't find the time to train for a 26 mile run. Can you imagine how much eating you could get away with after that? Then again, i would probably spend ages on the tolit! TMI?

Anyway...i should get a shower and go get my boy!

TGIF .. finally!!!

Morning Ladies ..

First of the month and we are short handed (imagine that here at the asylum) . . PIA will be leaving at lunch !!! Anywho .. after lunch it will be super busy .. welfare checks drop today .. when they get there mail all H### will be breaking loose here ..

My tris are really hurting today .. did extra in class and knew they would be touchy today ..oh well .. it is a good thing!! SIL was cussing me in class last night .. glad I could not read her mind b/c her looks were bad enough!! Today is a walk/run at lunch on a nature trail .. easy ..nothing hard .. so today is kinda my REST day!!

Wendy ... WOOOHOOO .. enjoy Vegas baby!! I hate flying too . . good luck w/that .. if you find anything that calms you ..please let me know .. b/c so far NOTHING works on me!!! It is like I am a superhuman immune to any drug or alcohol b/c I am so freaking scared!! Have fun .. and win some for me!!!!

Jacque .. that IS odd about the allergist .. everyone is usually allergic to something ???? I have never been to an allergist.. I know I am allergic to pollen, ragweed, and dust ... so pretty much I am doomed down here!! Obviously if you have sinus issues there is SOMETHING going on??? strange!!!

Di .. OMG .. you are doing disc 6 AFTER the facial proceedure??? OMG .. disc 6 is THE HARDEST!!!! that was the one I could not move for 4 days from!!! At least you have the day off to recover!! good luck w/the facial proceedure .. doesnt sound fun!!! AND I am w/Jacque ..35# rows .. girl I know who to call to get my back when needed (do you make house calls??? I have one in CA and one here in AL I need you to knock some sense into .. lol.. jk .. kinda )

Hey Girls,

The machine wasn't working when I went for my appt. Of course she didn't find out until after my dermabrasion and putting the numbing ointment on my face I have rescheduled for next Friday. I already took today, Mon & Tues off so my face could clear up before going back to work. Now I feel like I'm wasting those vacation days and will have to go back to work before my face heals.

Since I'm home now its time to start some laundry and get busy on disc 6.

Jacque-we must've been posting at the same time! Glad to hear you don't have anything serious going on. I do feel bad that you had to go through all that just to find out you weren't allergic to anything.

Lori-nice job getting your workout outta the way. Enjoy the day with DS.

Laura-I shouldn't have any problems with disc 6 since my appt had to be rescheduled. Wish me luck. So PIA is leaving early yet again???

Happpy Friday Ladies.

It's gonna have to be a fly-by post for now. I have cleaning and packing to do but I am eating a snack so I figured I'd pop in at the same time....

I did Burn it Off this afternoon and repeated the first half for about a 45 min work out. Good stuff! I ate a donut this morning and a brownie this afternoon so I wanted the extra calorie burn to get rid of some of that sugar!

Got some bad news not that long ago....Here we are about to fly off to Vegas tmrw and my DH calls be just as I was doing the warm up for my work out and says "Hi...um...Not to put a damper on our vacation but I'm getting laid off today..." Now what am I supposed to do with THAT information at this point in time!? Needless to say I am sooooo not happy. I guess we will just have to try and curb the spending out there which means a little less alcohol and alot less gambling....*sigh*....I soooo need a (better paying) job but I've been looking in the paper and there really isn't much out there!

Ok, I'm done complaining. There are folks out there who have it MUCH worse then us. We have a savings acct so it's not like we are broke. We'll be okay....it's just SCAREY!!!!

G2G for now but I hope to get back here later to catch up with personals!!!

Ciao.

Diana - well was going to say happy you for a day off, but here you go taking days off and didn't even get your full treatment? That sucks big time ! Is there anything you could do those days to ease yourself into thinking it was beneficial? Maybe do some self-indulgent things perhaps?

Now a couple people at work are mentioning polyps in the nasal passages - supposedly that can cause allergy like symptoms? Well the CT scan would show that.

The mini ha ha sounds fun ! I could totally see why you'd want to do that ! I think you should go for it. Good to hear your meldown class is going well. Sounds like boot camp to me !

Lori - yep - hypochondriac for sure ! DH thinks I'm nuts because I can't just take an aspirin and have my headaches go away. I do hope I can find something to get me through them - pretty sure even migraine meds would work so we'll see. Yippee for a nice quiet fun morning for you ! How nice of SIL.

Laura - Hope you made it through your day OK - as much as you don't get along with PIA - I personally think it is better for you when she is out. I like it when my PIA is MIA ! How fun to be able to do a nature trail at lunch time ! Hope it was enjoyable for you.

Wendy - OMG Girl ! What a super bummer ! Hope it doesn't dampen your vacation too much. Good to hear you feel it won't be horrible, just scary. Keeping good thoughts for your "fun" week and for the upcoming days !

Off to do Cardio Kicks ! Happy evening ladies !
