Damage Control....Thursday!

[Fit_mommy]

I started this earlier and was going to do personals but my computer shut down on it's own for some strange reason and I lost the post. After that I got involved in something else and forgot to come back and re-create it. That being said, now I may not have time for personals! Sorry girls!

Rest day for me today (and possibly tmrw too, I'll see!) to make easing into the new schedule/job a bit less hectic to start with. I am a little sore/stiff from my Shred marathon y'day but nothing like I THOUGHT I would be. Not sure what my new rotation will look like with the new job starting but I'm thinkin' short n sweet during the week and longer on the weekends. I may even adopt a 5 day a week plan again like I did when I was doing CLX!

Gotta run...gotta get my food ready. Gotta be out the door in 25 minutes!

BBL!

Good Morning!

I am up before anyone else, even though I woke DH up about an hour ago. He always says " don't let me sleep in tomorrow" He sets an alarm and then I have to wake him and he still doesn't get up?? Grow up, I'd say. Your 34 yrs old! LOL

I have been up since 6...back and forth to the washroom again My a$$ feels like its on fire I have used the washroom 5 x's in 3 hours. So this is exactly like yesterday morning. I felt crappy all morning but by mid morning to lunch time, it was gone. I did taste my soup yesterday but I didn't have a big bowl. Im going to try one more morning...if I feel like this again tomorrow then I will have to make a Dr's apt. Problem is I will be waiting a week to get in and see him. Its odd that I was fine from Sat afternoon till Tues evening though. I had a slice of toast before my coffee today to see if that helps. I didn't want to drink coffee on a empty stomach.

So I need to clean up my eating a bit. I haven't gained any weight but the picking in the afternoon is a bit much sometimes. There is a TON of junk in my cupboard from Christmas so maybe I should dig through that and get rid of some of it.

My workout will just be a run today. I am waiting for DS to wake up to see how he feels. He threw up last night while I was at work but it was probably due to his cough b/c he hasn't throwen up since. I already called work and told them that I wouldn't be in but yesterday afternoon DS seemed to be returning to his normal evil self so if he is like that this afternoon, I will take him to the sitters for a couple of hours and I will go to work and do a few things...

Sorry so looooooooooong!

Wendy** Happy 1st day of work!!! Woo Hoo! You will do great. Can't wait to hear what your first day was like. I bet you will make all kinds of new friends and then you probably won't need us anymore Im sure everything will fall into place as far as workouts go. You will figure it all out. I told DH last night that I wouldn't want a 9-5 job b/c I feel like I only work part time.

BBL!

Hi Ladies,

My early morning meeting was rescheduled to next Monday! Now I have time to workout this morning. I think the rotation calls for Athletic Step, but Imax 3 is calling my name. Sometimes, especially on work days, I prefer to do a workout I don't have to "think" about every step.

DS1 had a job interview at Walmart yesterday. Its whse/truck unloading work. The hours are 4pm-1am....oh and only 32hrs per week. This way you are not a full time employee and they don't have to pay for benefits. That's Walmart for you. Also, his old boss from the State of Colorado called and said they may have something for him. He'll know more next week. The state job would be much better as he would have full benefits.

Wendy-Good luck on your first day of work. I know, at least where I work that the first day is full of new hire orientation etc. Next week is when the fun....or real work will begin. You will do great.

Lori-no comment about your DH sleeping in....my DH wakes me up everyday! I actually wake up to the radio he listens to while he showers. I'm not a morning person. I love to get up, drink my coffee, do my workout, and just be left alone. It sounds pretty rude, but I'm ready to deal with people around 9am. I'm getting tired of the 9-5 grind, been doing it for 24 yrs. btw, how did your running partner do in her marathon?

Hi Jacque, Jen & Laura!

Morning Ladies..

I FINALLY got a good nights sleep .. maybe it was the CABS or maybe it was the "workout w/DH" whatever it was FINE .. I feel soooo much better now!!! today will be a rest day .. I have DH supervisory banquet tonight ... hoping the dress fits good ... .. have not tried it on since last time I wore it (4 mnth ago) .. but I dont think I will have a problem!!

Wendy ... sending good vibes for your first new work day .. woohoo I know you will do fine... and meet some new people ... first day will probably be just getting oriented w/things ... no prob!!

Lori .. sounds like you have a bug ... since your DS is sick .. you might have caught his bug but it is reacting differently in your body .. I know when I get sick my tummy ALWAYS rebels .. I too at one point thought i had IBS ... but it clears up .. so thinking mine is just a sensitive tummy .. ???? hope you get to feeling better .. LOL about me teaching Zumba .. afraid "my moves" would be outlawed in a class setting

Di ... hope DS gets the job he wants w/the better benefits .. sometimes benefits mean more than extra cash!!! I too have worked from 8 - 5 all my life .. have never known anything else ... that and for 24 years now I have taught fitness classes after work .. so that is like a 12 hour days 4 days a week ugh .. that is depressing .. no wonder I get so burned out all the time

hello to Jen and Jacque ..

OK .. have a great one ladies ... and workout for me ...

Hey Girls!

I have a dr's apt for 1:50 to see what his thought are on my belly. Hopefully he will just think its a bug but he will probably send me for blood work anyway. Its weird that whatever it is acted up in the a.m but was fine the remainder of the day.

Once that cleared up I did my workout. I did 4.3 miles on the TM, was aiming for 4.5 but DS started crying so I got off and then I did 30/30. I think you guys are right, it does seem easier then the other two. I must have thought it was harder b/c the wood stove was going and it was hot downstairs, today there is no fire in so the room was alot cooler. I also did abs as well.

Laura** Glad to hear you had a good night...all the way around I hope your right about the stomach bug.

Diana** Thats awesome news about DS...i hope he gets the job! I hear ya on not wanting to think in the a.m, thats why i always get on the TM. One foot in front of the other is all I have to concentrate on.

BBL!
Lori

Hiya girls !

Well I could vent a couple pages about work - but y'all seem to have "good vibes" happening all around so just pretend I laid it on thick !

Didn't workout y'day - ended up at work a bit late talking with a fellow manager about work stuff. Had a slight headache and just wasn't feeling it. Today is Sharks so again no workout. By tomorrow evening I'll need to blow off some steam so we'll see how much I get done. And then I'll shoot for doubles this weekend if my back is OK.

Wendy - so let us know how the new job went. I'll be commuting too soon for my taste and that will definitely be adding to my long day.

Diana - sounds great that DS has a couple job opportunities. All 3 of my kids have recently just "upgraded" workwise so I feel better about none of them going to college. Perhaps they'll do OK without . . . then again . . . I will always try to get them to take at least a few courses to get some basics of business down. Nothing better than learning while you are working and can apply it to your job. Cool your meeting got put off.

Laura - woo hoo for a great night of sleep. I woke up mid-night and took a while to get back to sleep. By the time we get home tonight I'm sure I'll sleep until the alarm goes off !

Lori - good to hear you are seeing a Dr. Think that it could be a virus and those definitely hit everyone differently depending on their 'chemical makeup'. Hope you feel better soon.

Lunch break over - bb in the AM.
