Good Morning!

I sooooo did not want to get out of bed....but I did and here I am.:p

We had good but short day at the water park. DS loved the water slide. There are two, a big one and a kids one. And he took a liking to the kids one even though I went with him on the big one. The kids were driving me nuts though, they were out of control and no one ever heard of "wait your turn":mad: I use to put him on the slide and DD would catch him at the bottom. If I didn't go up with him he would have never been bold enough to get on himself with all the craziness that was going on.

My workout was 10.5 km and abs before we went. Today I think I am going to do hills on the TM and legs before work.

I will bbl to report my workout. My manager told me on Tues that he sent off an email to the head people in the company asking them for raises for everyone. Maybe he heard something by now but Im sure if they agreed they will wait until Christmas or something!

Jacque** Is DH working FT now?? Or just seasonal? Must be a relief on you. I can only imagine the stories he is coming home with...LOL I think it will be a while before I throw another party. Even my friend was suppose to stop by yesterday and pick up a book and she didn't. She probably forgot but if you don't want to order anything, just say so!

Diana** I would love to be able to work from home!!! My coworker text me yesterday and said that she isn't doing anything this weekend so if I need something covered she would do it:confused: Seems nice doesn't it?? But she is a sneaky one! LOL

Wendy** I don't mind those parties to much if its something I like. My sister sells party lite and thats something I would never pay full price for. I seen something in the book that was nice for my MIL for christmas but it was also $175....YIKES!!!!! Maybe its not as nice as I thought!!

I will bbl!

Good Morning Glories. :)

Rest day for me today and tbh, the only reason I took one is so that I can exercise this weekend and not go over 6 days in a row of working out. It felt great to sleep in but I now feel guilty about it. :confused: Maybe I will do a super long w/o like BM or BM2 this weekend to try and squash the guilt! ;)

DH and I had a great time last night. The weather was perfect to take the car out with the top down. :cool: We ate at a really nice restaurant that was right on the beach and we sat outside so I had a view of the ocean. I just wished it was friday so we could've hung around longer. There was a good band playing for FREE outside where we were and an outdoor bar across the street that seemed to be rockin! But alas, the old folks had to get home and get to bed. Booh. :p

Lori:: Glad the park was fun with DS y'day. I sold Partylite at one time...for about 6 months. It was too much effort for the $ I made. So not worth it. At the time I was very into the candle thing though and got tons of free and very discounted items from them so I guess it wasn't all bad! LOL I hope your boss hears back soon about those raises and I hope that the answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Okay, time for me to rustle up some food and then hit the showers. I'll BBL. My boss will not be in today so I'll have even less work then usual! :D

Ciao Bellas!
 
Good & Happy Friday morning Girls ! ! ! :p

I am ready ready ready for the weekend - thinking I don't have to work - may play with a few things but not imperative. Supposed to go to a wine event at the winery we help out for the Garlic Festival. Should be nice - it's really lovely out there.

This AM is 4DS Bootcamp. Will do the cardio this morning - have a lunch meeting so no can do wts at lunch but will hit them when I get home.

Wendy - So jealous of your evening last night. Bummer it was Thurs but sounds fantastic anyway ! Beach = my solace with mountains a close second. All in all, nature is truly me . . . Lucky lady you have a slow day at work. Think of me while you play here ! ;) So you going to get DS for the weekend?

Lori - Water parks weren't close when my kids were small. Looking forward to taking the GS's in the future. Yes, DH is FT+ for just over a week which ends on Monday. They were outbid on a job in town by $40K ! Not sure how much else they have coming up but he said there are a few jobs. We are making it comfortably (no vacation $ but keeping our Sharks tix) and I'm not paying down the principal on my mortgage like I used to every month. I should be getting a raise, more than COLA, soon. With my new responsibilities I need to start making a difference and perhaps I can wiggle some more $ once I prove myself. That is my plan. DH won't do anything different and won't like how much I make, but that won't make him find a different consistent FT job. My hrly rate is already higher than his but I'm salaried and he gets paid by the hour so makes more throughout the year. At least he used to . . . :confused:

Diana - I could work from home too ! Love being able to do some chores in between working. That might very well be one of the things I ask for when we start commuting. My boss will be hesitant since more people will want to do it, but my job is conducive to it so we'll see. Bummer you're missing BC tonight. Sorry about the RIF - does it sound like your team will be OK in the long run? Are they RIFing others in the company or just a few ITers? (Deadweight perhaps or projects completed?).

Off for my BC - until later . . .
 
Hello again.

So I won some money at the casino while I was in NY w/Jen and my wonderful mamma won me some money the same weekend in AC when I wasn't even around soooo...I just ordered 4 more Cathe's I don't have with the cash! :D :D :D :D

Jacque:: Enjoy your 4DS work out! I would pull that series out more often but I can't do the step. Need to just plan some alternatives for it and do a rotation one of these months! Ofcourse this plan needs to be added to the bottom of a VERY long list of rotations I want to do! :p Enjoy the wine/garlic festival thing this weekend! Sounds like my cup o' tea! I am dying to uncork a bottle from my NY w/e but I still have 2 open bottles at home from before I went! Can't wait to finish atleast one so I can justify opening a new one! :D I also think it's about time I find a small wine rack. I just bought 6 bottles. I deserve it, right? ;)
 
Hey Girls!

Quick check in before I head home. DH is picking DS up from preschool so no big rush!

Todays workout was 30 mins on the TM and disc 23. Tomorrow morning will be 20 k!

Wendy** Ah the guilt of sleeping in. I woke up and closed my eyes again. Thought about staying in bed, sat up for a while and then shuffled my way to the coffee pot. Normally its set to start before I even get up but b/c its on its way out I have to turn it on in the a.m. Glad I got up though b/c I really don't know if I would have bothered working out tonight.
I get the advantages of the partylite stuff from my sister. We have two weddings this year and thats what they are both getting. Both couples make really good money and they don't need more.

Jacque** I think everyone needs raises!!!:) Hopefully DH will find more work once this is over. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. I just printed off some more books on line b/c mine floated down the river last weekend:confused:

The deal with the raise is that my boss called and confirmed that he had received my managers email and once the accountant gets back from holidays they will talk about it. When he asked for a raise before he just mentioned it to the accountant and not to the boss man so he wasn't so sure that he even knew about it. He figures that they keep him out of ther loop sometimes!

Probably won't bb until tomorrow morning!

Ok ladies...I have an STS plan set up for when I am ready to give it another go. Or should I say when my Exercise ADD "allows" me to do another rotation especially considering all the new work outs I've been ordering! LOL

It's the only way I could think of to realistically get more cardio into the rotation w/o working out 2x per day or getting up even earlier(neither of which is going to happen).

1) M1 D1 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
2) 45-60 mins cardio only
3) M1 D2 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
4) 45-60 mins cardio only
5) M1 D3 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
6) 45-60 mins cardio only
7) rest

*Wash rinse repeat for 2nd half of M1 D1/2/3 work outs and then move on to M1 D4/5/6, etc.

What do you think??

I could also do it this way which is less cardio (more like what I was doing pre-sts) but since it's every day it still seems to work for me:

1) M1 D1 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
2) M1 D2 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
3) M1 D3 (1st half only), 30 mins cardio
4) M1 D1 (2nd half only), 30 mins cardio
5) M1 D2 (2nd half only), 30 mins cardio
6) M1 D3 (2nd half only), 30 mins cardio
7) rest
