COPY CUT AND PASTED...LORI BEAT ME....LOL

Mornin' Glories!

Happy Friday!

Well I guess Jacque didn't make it here before bed last night so I'm startin' us off. We obviously can no longer depend on Miss Lori to get here. She's found more important things to do! (oops, I guess I need to take this back huh? LMAO!)

I got up a bit later then usual today and really want a 2nd cup of java so my w/o will suffer time-wise a bit this morning. I'm not worried. So long as I get one in I'll be happy. I can make up the time this weekend!

Lori:: If I had a busier lifestyle I probably wouldn't plan rest days either b/c it would not be neccessary but that's not the case. If not planning works for you then stick with it! Three parties? See? This is why you don't plan rest days. Your life is crazy at times! I have one party to go to. That's it. The rest of my friends and family are lame and we just don't have the room to throw a party!

Diana:: Nice work out y'day! Congrats on the weight loss. Enjoy your w/e in the mountains with your family...if you can!

Okay, I need to get ready for my work out while I finish my foffee or I'll never get anything done this morning!

Ciao~

Hello again.

Work out is done!

I did Cardio Core Express Circuit Premix today and it whooped me!

It wasn't part of my original plan but since my lazy butt didn't wanna get up this morning I had to change up to a shorter work out and this one fit the bill perfectly. Short but super mean!!!! Still got an awesome sweat dripping heart pumping thinking I might pass out work out!
Thanks Cathe!

BBL Girlies!

Hi ladies,

Not sure what the w/o will be today. I intended to do legs at the rec ctr, but we have huge pot/luck, costume contest etc at work today. Me and some of my teammates are dressing up like Deal or No Deal. One of guys is going to be Howie, another guy is going to be the contestant, us girls will have the numbered briefcases! It could be fun.

I'm still debating between doing a leg w/o or a circuit. I'll pick something out when I get downstairs.

I need to leave work early to get to Jerod's 4pm football, possibly the last one of the season. They've only lost two games so they could have another one or two games after this.

We will be coming home from Jerod's game and packing for the weekend. We hope to get the truck all loaded up and be ready to go when Jerod get's home. He likes to ride the bus back to the school with his teammates and it will give us time to get everything ready.

Lori-hope you can keep up with your P/T during the Holidays. Just set aside small amounts of time and stick to it, like Jacque suggested. We do not have any Halloween plans... and I'm not prepared as I have not picked up any candy yet.

Wendy-Nice job getting in a w/o. You have taught me that it's okay to improvise and something is better than nothing.

Good Morning to Laura and Jacque!

Diana:: Enjoy your w/o no matter what you decide to do. YUP-something is better then nothing 9 times out of 10 for me! If I have 30 minutes, I will work out. If it's less then that then I won't bother but you can get your butt kicked HARD in 30 minutes and I feel soooo much better afterwards then if I had blown it off! As Jen told me-I am addicted to the endorphin rush/high of working out!!! It's truly awesome! I even enjoy (in a sick demented sorta way) that feeling of exhaustion when you are done. Aaaaahhh! Have fun this weekend if we don't hear from you again later!

Happy Happy Friday ladies ! ! !
(Sorry Lori )

Well last night I got my 4DS KB & legs in - like Wendy said, it felt great. So great that since DH had a late hockey game and dinner was not an issue, I did my grocery shopping so I wouldn't have to do it today. Hit Costco, got gasoline too, and finished up at Wally World. We have a 90th BDay for DH's grandma tomorrow so it will be a nice family GTG with extended famiily we don't see often. Fun in my book. No Halloween parties - guess us old people just don't celebrate as much any more ! May toy with doing something cuz we don't get much but parents collecting candy with some of their kids - that bugs me. Not many neighborhood children as our block is parents with grandkids for the most part.

Lori - study study study is what I say to you. Good time to set a plan and try to stick to it. We have a new "tool" (for us at least) at work called SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely). It is working well to get some of us get off our booties and get something accomplished rather than letting it slide because other things come up. We have also learned to split things into urgent and important. Urgent is not necessarily important when related to your goals and where you want to be.
Have fun partying your buns off at 3 parties ! Will you even make it to all of them?

Diana - Good luck to Jerod - that will be cool if his team goes to the playoffs. Has he been playing more? Good for him coming back on the bus - comraderie is important for teams. Sounds like it works well for you plans - guess you didn't end up getting out of it? Have a relaxing time while you are away from your "chores". Hope the weather will lend itself to some different types of exercise for you. Fresh air does wonders for me - especially mountain air.

Laura - Good to hear the update on SIL as far as everyone knowing what she is up against and now she can't hide it. Hope all goes well getting her to adhere to doc's orders. Can she take walks at all or just needs to stay sedentary? Gooooo Warrrrrrrrrr Eaglesssssssssss ! ! ! Hope the game goes well.

Time to jet off into the rainy cloudy weather - we'll have rain by the end of the day but will clear up by tomorrow afternoon. Good cuz I dislike going to an 'event' when I have to get rained on. (other than sharks games - don't care then! ).

Jacque:: Did you see my response to you in y'day's thread? Just giving you a heads up as I think you might have missed it. You are never too old to party lady! Find a costume fast and throw your own party! I am sure you can fit more guests then I can and I would come to your party if I weren't so darned far away! Glad you enjoyed your 4DS work out y'day!

Hey Girls!

Workout was good this a.m. I did 40 mins on the TM and 30/30. My workout time was a constent running up and down the stairs as well to check on DD's breakfast.

Then my morning took bit of a slide. Took DS to preschool (he normally goes on Wed afternoon but b/c of the halloween party they wanted him to come today) and when I got there, there was a note saying that the kids were at the "golden years estate" trick or treating. Had to go BACK home and pick up his halloween bucket and thankfully the old age home is close to my house. I went in with him, found the kids and he wasn't having any part of it. He was totally freaked out by the costumes. I had to stay with him the whole time. Then when I finally dropped him off at school, he cried b/c he was still freaked out. I had no choice but to leave him. I know my arms are going to be sore tomorrow b/c he was in them for about an hour! My bic's were burning!

Wendy** I don't think I saw an apology in there anywhere Here I was getting heat for not starting the thread....WHILE I was starting the thread!!!! Oh and they say cheaters never win! LOL Guess I won today!!! Bahaha!

Diana** So are you wearing something revealing while you carry that case around? LOL I wonder what these girls look like with no make up on? Like the rest of us I would imagine....just average Good luck with the pot luck!! I know how hard those things can be!

Jacque** Thanks again for your words of wisdom...I do need to stick to a goal and reach it. Sometimes I figure if I just quit work it would make my life easier. Maybe I should have taken that lay off before they rehired again. I would have gotten unemployment while studying and now I could be getting a income with the PT. Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned! Its always nice to see family you haven't seen in a long time!

I will bbl!
Lori
