Damage Control....TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Ladies.

Well well well...it appears that Miss Lori has decided that she no longer needs to start this thread in the mornings. Here it is going on 6:30 and no thread had been started yet when I got here! What's the meaning of this, Miss Lori!? Explain yourself!

I got to sleep until 5:45 this morning! Yee haw! Unfortunately I didn't go to sleep until about 10:45 but the whole schedule shift thing made me feel like an adult as opposed to feeling like my son with the child-like sleep schedule I've been keeping. LOL

Rest day for me today. I was tempted to blow it off but decided I better not so I am being good.

The car show was fun. GORGEOUS night for it and the "vette. Awesome ride there and back!

Off to get foffee #2! I'll be back with personals in a few!

Okay I have only one personal to catch up on and then it's shower time...

Jacque:: Glad you had a good meeting and fun evening to follow with your co-workers. Working w/people you truly like makes it so much better. I don't have much of that at my current job, sad to say. I love my boss and we chat and have a lot of laughs but that's about it. Most of the folks I work with are ok but I just can't warm up to them. I talk to a few people here and there and will always respond if someone starts a conversation with me but for the most part I just mind my own business and go it alone. I miss the lawyer's office-my BFF worked there and the gal she worked with was very cool too. So sorry that the tequila gave you a headache. That stinks. Oh yes, that first glass of wine went down SUPER EASY!

Good Morning!

I'm here! This week as not been a good one for "me" time and we all know how I feel about "ME f'ing time"!!!! I need it in order to function and do be a good person! LOL I don't think anyone really catches on to that though.

Wed night we went out for wings, I didn't eat much b/c I ate supper but I did have a massive drink which made me feel like a ate Thanksgiving day dinner. And I looked like it to! I just got snuggled away in bed, set my alarm for 6 so I could get a good run in before work and the phone rings. I have a flight at 5 a.m! (How come there is no crying face? I need a crying face!) :'( If I had known this earlier I could have went to bed earlier and started my day at 4:40! That wasn't possible cause it was midnight when he called. So I got up,did my flight, home again shortly after 6, doozed in and out until 9, back to work again, busy day, came home at 4, did a short workout, then out to supper with the girls! Just non stop and I was sooo tired!

Even little things happened that were ticking me off...like running partner coming over at dinner time with a list of hotels to stay at when we do the next mary. Really? Dinner time?? She as a list of each hotel and how far they are from the start line, finish line and anything else. Someone as a bit of time on their hands. AND my sister just called cause she needs a ride. SEE....no ME time! This is my ME time and its getting interupted! (crying face)

Anyway, tonight we are having a party here for our friend who is now off of house arrest and tomorrow night I am suppose to be going to a bachlorette party but I think Im gonna have to blow it off. Just to much for this home body.

Wendy** Is that enough explaining?? So you got into a bottle of wine all alone?? LOL I don't like wine so maybe I should be thankful for that. You still got a good workout in though.

Laura** So have you figured out whats up with SIL? Obviously an eating disorder? Its to bad. Hopefully she can get whatever help she needs.

Jacque** Im not sure if one of my books is motivational or not. I don't think so. Lord knows we all need a bit of motivation from time to time!

This weekend I am doing a 32k run for the first time in forever. Im trying to wrap my head around it!

O.k....bbl!

Hi Ladies,

I'm up super early...for me anyway. Woke up at 5 with a stuffy nose and just couldn't fall back to sleep. Hope to have my workout done by 6:30 and be able to give Jerod a ride to school. I did pick up his bike from the bike shop, but don't think Jerod found the key to his bike lock yet.

Today is a rest day from Insanity. I feel like stepping so will pick out a Cathe w/o, maybe even lowmax. Not sure why I want to do lowmax, my legs are a bit sore from bootcamp last night.

Wendy-it sounds like you had a great time last night! I haven't used my kettlebells in a long time either. Last time was with BH.

Lori-sorry you've been missing out on your 'ME' time. I know all about that. I just did the conversion, 19.88388 miles! You go girl! My knee is still a bit sore, but I'm going to try to pick up with the HM training. May do an 8 mile run on Sunday. I'm actually going to see if my coworker wants to run it together. He lives near me so it would be easy to meet up somewhere.

Laura-Party all the time....Party all the time... You have been our party girl of late. Glad you had a fun time for SIL's bday. I too think she may have an ED. Not sure how to approach that with her. I use the AOS KB w/o's also. You can preview them online and see if that's what you are looking for. I've seen several others on video fitness website where you can preview everything.

Jacque-I've been super busy at work lately too. I was surprised to see I didn't post yesterday since I know I popped in. One of my coworkers has self motivational books...she's one that always sees the bright side. She's a very positive influence on the rest of us. We do have one gal, I call her "negative nancy". Her name's not even Nancy, but she just a downer all the time.

TGIF!

Happy Friday Ladies !

Well I'm just running through with no workout to post as of yet. Afraid to get to work too late lest I not get all of our salaried people paid this half of the month !

No time for personals this AM, gotta shower and jet off but will be back later - hoping to get out of work after 8 - 9 hours today, we'll see !

Enjoy your day !

TGIF!!!! WOOOHOOOO

TGIF .. and I will be at home this weekend .. and I plan on NOT leaving if at all possible once I get home this afternoon!!! DH on nights .. the plan is nothing but EXERCISE - cleaning - spending time w/my babies!!!! After being gone for so long the fridge is EMPTY .. I have GOT to go to the grocery store and re-stock .. so gonna do that at lunch .. i may surprise DH and cook this weekend he always cooks .. but I might try to this weekend since he is on nights ..

Wendy ... you never said which KB (KETTLE BELL) workouts were your favorite??? Sounds like you had a great time last night ... AND you got some sleep .. MEEEEE TOOOOO .. woohooo .. I slept fine last night!!! now that DH is on nights ... NO SNORING .. except for Buster .. he is worse than DH!

Lori .. OMG .. I feel your pain on lack of "me" time .. I am very much a person that HAS TO HAVE "me" time ... time for silence .. w/o so much clutter and talk in my head and ears ... and mine has been missing for about 1 1/2 weeks .. sooooooooo YES .. I am ready for some .. and w/DH on nights .. hoping I can find some this weekend!!!

Jacque .. sounded like your yesterday was very fun and a learning experience ... that is great. We have a tight group here too .. w/exception of PIA .. we had a safety lunch ystdy and she couldnt make it (awwwwwww - insert evil grin) we had a BLAST .... we have a newer employee she is from Chicago . . OMG .. she cracks my arse up .. I call her my Northern mirror image .. it is amazing how much we have in common .. but she is just soooo much funnier!!!

Di .. thanks for the KB reccommendation .. gonna check it out!! yes I am the party girl for sure here lately .. but I am ready to settle down some!! LOL my waistline is showing all those extra empty calories in my cabs (insert Lori's crying icon)

SIL: I am trying not to lable it a ED .. I was hoping it was just a "phase" .. but fact is she does not eat much - she over exercises - she has lost a lot weight/most of her muscles - is having "spells" (which I think are sugar related b/c of no food) and she is in total denial - her "bubble butt" has dissapeared .. she still has some .. her legs are smaller than mine (mine are muscular but long and lean) .. hers were always "cheerleader legs" .. shorter and muscular beautiful ... now that definition is gone along w/some muscle mass ..???? ... soooooo looking at the facts it points to a ED .. but I am still hoping it is a phase .. she doesnt see it .. she will not admit it .. she is very defensive about it .. I cant talk to her about it w/her getting mad .. sooooooooooooo .. DB dont see it either - but my friends are even asking me what is wrong w/her ..uhg .. only thing I can do is just kinda drop hints here and there ???

ANYWAY .. we are actually supposed to have a high of 89 SUNDAY I will beleive it when I see it .. we have not even gotten to the low 90's yet .. I am soooo ready for some cooler weather .. sigh!!! OK .. ladies gotta jet I have rambled on for too long .. have a great one!

So I've been in a pi$$-poor mood most of the day. Can't wait to get outta here. May go home tonight and do a kickbox work out. Need to get some aggressions out. I think it'll make me feel better especially if it's followed by a hot shower and a (SINGLE) glass of wine or captain and diet coke.

Laura:: I haven't used the bells in so long but I do know that I was very fond of keith webber's extreme cardio kb work out (not sure of the exact name). I liked it because it was chaptered into 6 or 7 short work outs (about 10 mins a piece) that all had a different focus so it could be done all at once (a death wish in my opinnion! LOL) or one or two or three at a time. You get the picture. Anyway, very endurance/cardio based and KILLER if you used the right weight KB's! AWESOME!

Hi Jacque...Bye Jacque!

Diana:: So how was your step session this morning? We will have to be kettlebell work outs on our long exercise to-do list!

Lori:: Blow off a bachelorette party!? You are crazy girl! LOL GOOOOO!!!! Yup-polished off an entire bottle of wine all by my lonesome. There's a first for time for everything I suppose! Okay yes. I suppose you have a fairly reasonable excuse for not starting the thread.

Thanks Wendy .. YIKES .. I looked at that one .. OMG .. he looks FEIRCE ... dont know if I want to jump right in w/him .. LOL .... I think I am leaning towards Lauren Brooks .... her DVD's look good ... good form .. good motivation and good reviews ... then I may try AOS if I like it .. then work up to Extreme!!!!

I have one more hour and I am outta here .. GEEESH what a LOOOOOONG day ... darn that full moon!!! they had a news segment trying to prove the affects on the brain from the full moon .. HECK I dont need any stinkin tests to prove people loose their minds on a full moon .. all the study would have to do is come to work w/me on a full moon they would have all the proof they need ..
