DaMaGe CoNtRoL...TGIF!!!!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning!

I am up early to get my workout in. Feels weird to not be going somewhere or having someone come in today! I set my alarm for 6:30 but didn't get up until 7'ish. My manager is away and I am going to enjoy the next three days!!!

I'm not sure what workout I am going to bed doing today. I will look at my collection when I am finished my coffee.

I was a little bit irritated last night to say the least and its one of those things where I just have to keep my mouth shut. Two of my friends were here yesterday morning to workout. One didn't feel well and the other had sore boobs! She had already taken two test and they were both negative. So yesterday evening the other friend calls me to tell me that she just got off of the phone with my other friend (who I consider to be one of my really close friends) and she is in fact pregnant. I knew she wasn't going to be able to call me right away b/c she had family there for supper and who knows maybe her sister stayed really late....but she never did call me! Friend #1 told me not to tell friend #2 that she told me. Now I am wondering if friend #1 told friend #2 that she told me and now friend #2 is wondering why I haven't called to congratulate her. I dunno!!! I was just so upset. I consider her to be a very good friend. We talk more then I talk to anyone else. Anyway.......

I sent an email to the school I am doing the course through to see if there is a final package with some studying guidelines headed my way. I really don't know where to start!!

Im gonna read yesterdays thread...then I will return!

Good Morning Girls.

TGIF!

No work out for me today. A part of me wanted to w/o but I went 8 days w/no rest day so I forced myself to sleep in this morning. The fear of over doing it and getting sick is always in the back of my mind keeping me balanced I guess.

So yesterday after my nap DH and I headed out to Costco. Ended up picking up a new 32" flat screen tv for the bedroom (to go with the new bed. ). AWESOME. After we got back and put all of our purchases away I took a 2nd nap! YAY me. Then it was time to head to my mom's for dinner Where I had 2 CABs and ate too much as I always do. By the time we got home it was 9pm. Past our bedrime!!! LOL

Lori:: Getting to paid to listen to someone talk at you for an hour? SURE-no problem!!!!! LOL Don't complain! 40/20 is the hardest of the HiiT's I think! Good job doing it even after 30 mins of another cardio. I've heard though that you should add steady state on AFTER interval or HiiT work for optimal fat burning (not that you have any to burn). You are supposed to wait about 5 minutes in between the two though. IDK if it's true but this is what I heard. Maybe I will try it with 1/2 and IMAX of 30/30 and something else. Can't hurt right?

Diana:: Thanks for the WFH clarification! You DID explain that one before-I just forgot! Don't feel bad, after laying off Insanity for soooooo long, my endurance has decreased as well and that is no surprise. Gotta use it or you lose it, right? I hope you can get that surgery scheduled for a preferred date. Sounds like it will work out quite well if you can. Good luck! TY for the encouraging words re the numbers. I am not letting it get to me because I feel good. When I look in the mirror or get dressed I can tell that changes are happening so the stinky numbers can kiss my butt! I like MIST a lot. It has killer moves and not so killer moves. It's a nice mix. He also changes it up a lot because of the different sports training he uses. I also love that you get a quick ab work out in there as well...even though it hurts like heck! I am going to try very hard to keep Shaun in my rotation for a while. Even if/when my rotation changes. For right now though, I am gonna keep doing what I am doing. I am getting results and I am having fun! What more could a girl want?

Ok well I gotta scoot. Not sure if there are any personals from Wednesday that I have not responded to but I don't have time right now to check. Hopefully I will remember to look at work as I should have plenty of time. I have a feeling it's gonna be a very boring, very slow moving day. UGH.

BBL Peeps!

Hi Ladies,

I don't have a w/o to report for yesterday. First my w/o area was being used as a staging area, then I totally forgot about my class last night. I think it's because I normally WFH on Wednesdays, not Thursdays. This morning will be STS Legs. I will do cardio at the rec ctr if at all possible.

Lori-I wouldn't worry too much about your friend that's pregnant. Wait a couple of days and if she doesn't mention it maybe you can bring it up.

Wendy-Congrats on the new tv. We have a 32" Sony Bravia in our bedroom. It's my tv and my dvr in our room. DH and the kids have the family room tv and the basement tv.

Waving Hi to Laura and Jacque!

Okay, I just checked it out and I am all caught up on personals from Wednesday too. Dangit to hell! I was hoping I was behind. It would give me something to do!

Diana:: Wow, I didn't think you would ever forget about your class! Sorry you missed it. Is your instructor a personal trainer too? The tv we got is not a bravia. It's some other name. It's nice. I woke up this morning and when I saw it it took me by surprise. I forgot about it! LOL It's got a great picture! DH didn't get a dvr box. We have one in the livingroom and it's enough for the 3 of of us though it would be nice to have the option to watch those movies in bed. Oh well. No big deal really. We have a dvd player so we can watch our netflixx stuff in the bedroom if we want.

Lori:: Sorry you are feeling badly about your pg friend. I am sure if she is a close friend that you weren't left out of the loop purposely. When my VBF's mom was very sick and eventually passed away about 2 years ago I got a lot of my information about her from another friend of my VBF's. It wasn't because I was not as important or something. It was because this other gal worked with her and since she had to keep work abreast of the situation (she was out a lot at that point to be with her mom) it was easier and less time consuming for her to tell work and have them pass it on to her friends. It also kept her from having to repeat sad/emotionally draining news more then she absolutely had to. Now pregnancy is obviously HAPPY news so the situation is different but my point is, don't get upset over it until you know the situation. There is probably and very understandable and simple explanation for it.

Hey Girls,

Its so nice and quiet at work...I heart it! No one asking me the same question over and over again....no one asking me for other things over and over again...just nothing...silence and the fridge running is all I hear....plus my fingers hitting the key board!

My workout today was 3 miles on the TM (26 mins) , 20 mins on the bike and most of the standing leg work in GS legs.

Also about this PT thing...why do people think that they are gonna magically lose weight Anytime I talk to anyone it starts off with " I want to lose 10 lbs" ..."I want to lose 30 lbs"...blah...blah...blah! I am not responsible for what people put in their pie hole or what they do on the days that they don't see me. One of the girls I train sells jewelry so every night that she has a show, its like a family gathering. There's food and beverages....even the most disciplined would find it hard to say no to that but she needs to find some kind of system where she will get into the habit of not eating. You can consume alot of cals in these high fat dips over the span of a couple of hours. Anyway...there is no pressure on me whatsoever....I know how this all works and if someone isn't pulling their weight...then that'f their own fault.

Wendy** A flat screen for our tv is on my list of things to get. Even DS has one in his room! My inlaws didn't know what to buy him for his bday so thats what they got him. Its prefect. Thanks for the tips on burning fat...I will have to try it!

Diana** How do you feel about being laid up for that long? That's a long time for such an active women!

I will bbl....

Lori:: Nice to finally be left alone at work huh? Good for you. DS now has the only non flat screen tv in our house. He has our hand me down tv from the work out room which is very old. I had it when I lived at home. It's gotta be darned near 15 yrs old but it's still in excellent shape. He got it because we refused to toss it when it was replaced with a flat screen in my w/o room and DH was tired of having to share HIS tv with the boy so it just worked out that way. LOL DS will eventually get an upgrade to a flat screen but probably not for a while yet. Hopefully the one he has lasts a good while longer. I hear ya on the home show/eating thing. That's gotta be tough and will inevitably be quite the hurdle for her to get over. I wish her all the luck in the world! I also hear ya on you not being responsible for what your clients do when you aren't with them. That was a big factor in my fear of being a PT. I was afraid I would be blamed for their lack of results when they would leave my training session and grab McDonald's for lunch. Some folks just don't get it.

And so it begins...It took a lot longer this time but it's finally started...complaints have been logged about this pre-order but this time it's about the pricing.

Laura:: Sorry about the shoulder. I hope it feels better fast. I have a kind of cranky shoulder and knee. Both are on the left side that act up now and then depending on what I am doing. Total PITA. Sounds like you had a good "me" day off y'day! Thanks for the compliment. I am officially "over" the numbers. I refuse to let it bother me!
