Good Morning!:)

Just getting us started....I have a session in a few mins, then I will be working out myself. I won't have a whole lot of time left for me but oh well.

I am going to see how long yesterday's thread was and maybe I have time to catch up!

Lori:)
 
Good Morning to Lori and all who follow.

Lori:: Enjoy training! Don't let it get too much in the way of what you wanna do for YOU though or you might end up resenting it. :(

I am off to do Intensity with some L/B DOMS...should be fun....NOT! :p

BBL~
 
Hi Ladies,

I had another bad day at work yesterday. One of my coworkers who had an issue with the same backstabbing B on our team talked to our boss yesterday. She was going to try to get me moved to work with her. Apparently my boss wants me to show more initiative. Obviously that means there will be no promotion for me this year. I'm so looking forward to my time away from work, 5 weeks exactly. Maybe I should use this time to come up with a resume and start looking for another job.

Yesterday I did High Reps, loved it. I probably should've gone a bit heavier on some exercises, but my shoulders and triceps were fried. I didn't feel too bad when I finished the w/o, but my arms were shaking trying to wash my hair and put toothpaste on the toothbrush. This morning will be Intensity again. I'm loosely following the Dec rotation for now.

Next week our Europe counterparts will be here and we will be meeting with them all week. I think it runs from 8-5 each day. Not sure how I will fit my w/o's in next week, but will figure something out.

Wendy-nice w/o this morning girl. I'm doing Intensity myself, maybe a premix so I can see what those are.

Lori-ITA with Wendy. Make sure you make time for yourself.

Hi Jacque and Laura! Have a great day ladies.
 
I tried to come back earlier but it didn't workout for me. I am trying to vacuum and now my manager is in the way so I will take a break! LOL

MY workout was 2 miles on the TM and 40/20. I like that one b/c it doesn't have any tuck jumps or air jacks! Those are two things I HATE! Tuck jumps + my knees = nothing good!:eek:

Wendy** I don't think I will resent it. The reason why I use to workout so much before was b/c I had the time. I don't need all of this cardio if Im not trying to lose weight. While maintaining my weight I should be able to do 30-45 mins of cardio and day and get my weights in there on other days. I am hoping to do weights over the weekend.....although I have a fairly busy weekend. Christmas parade on Sat night, hockey game, then party, Sunday is the kids christmas party and workout sessions:confused: Go-Go-GO! My weight today was 122 so maybe working out less is working for me! I also have a less time to eat..I mean the kind of eating that I don't need. Afternoon picking and after dinner picking...eating when I am not hungry. I use to be famous for it. Nice workout...I am STILLLLLLL waiting for mine! I feel a tantrum coming on in the near future!

Diana** Sounds like your gonna have to bite the bullet with that laptop of yours. Seems to be giving you a lot of grief. How is the holiday melt down class going?

Laura** Sorry to hear about your friend. Will she be in TX for treatments? What kind of cancer does she have? My aunt had her breast removed last Tues. She always looks nice and it was annoying her so much that her hair wasn't done. When she was released from the hospital the first place she went was to my house and asked me to do her hair. She couldn't do it b/c she can't lift her arm very high. I also put a little makeup on her and sent her on her way! LOL

I will probably bbl. This is going to be a very exciting place to be today. Not much happening and the phone isn't even ringing, I think I am going to make up workouts for the next few days for my clients!

Lori:)
 
Diana** Sorry to hear about your work situation. Its hard to be excited about something when your stressed AND you have to work with a back stabber. It makes going to work less enjoyable that's forsure and there is nothing like a good break. I feel the same way about this place but I think its mostly b/c I haven't had holidays in forever and the only time I took off was to run races! Not much of a vaca! I am looking forward to 2 weeks in FL this spring! Hang in there!!

Lori:)

Diana:: So instead of dealing with the backstabbing B in your office, your boss is choosing to focus on your "lack of initiative"?? WTH? Does he have a thing for this girl or something? :rolleyes:

Lori:: I gotcha on the exercise thing. Glad it's all working out for you. Your fellow Canadians are beginning to get their workouts in dribs and drabs so there is hope for you yet! I am sure they will be to you soon! :)

Laura:: Yup-COLD it is! 30 degree drop from y'day's high to the overnight low. BRRRRRR! And today is will be about a 20 degree difference but when ya add in wind chill factor it's even more! :eek: My son had 2 winter coats. One the zipper broke on yesterday morning and one he lost somehow.:rolleyes: Thankfully y'day was mild so he could go to school in a sweat jacket but DH had to haul him to Target in a rush after work y'day to buy a new one b/c of the forecast for today and the rest of the week! :eek:
 
Hi ladies !

Missed y'day but was here in spirit ! :eek: :p

I was tired from the hockey game and bummed we didn't win. Ah well . . . Got my w/o in last night - L & G - my DVD's made it to my doorstep after 7 PM when I was working on dinner ! :mad: Was about to have a tirade - good thing they showed up. So tonight I'm thinking Intensity. Printed out the Dec rotation and think I'll do it starting on Sun or Mon. Looks like a fun one. Can't wait to use the new vids !

Wendy - we are starting to warm up - was 39' when I left for work rather than 29'. Barely any frost on the windows of the car - woo hoo ! But then the garage door wouldn't work so had to climb a ladder and push it down. Nuther thing to fix now !:( You following the rotation as is or making adjustments?

Lori - bummer you can't do tuck jumps or air jacks - sometimes mine get achy so I just jump lower. Can you do any plyo work or just those hight jumps you have to keep away from? Hope they guys at work cooperate so you can vacuum ! LOL ! Busy weekend you have coming up - sounds like some fun stuff too though.

Diana - sorry about work lately. You know I know how it is. Good to hear you can take a long time off and with the girls you will be enjoying it. Time away does help - let's you dissect what is happening and make your choices. Never hurts to look - especially if you are not appreciated. Then again, if you can stay there and not worry about promotions or take your work to heart, some people stay just to keep their retirement bennies. Hope you have a chance to figure it out. You can always count on me to help in any HR way that I can. Long week next week with 'visitors' - hope that will be something to keep your mind off the BSB (back stabbing beeeeech! - not back shoulders bi's). :p

Laura - nice what you guys did for your friend. Good to hear about the positive thinking book - what is the title to that one? I think I could use it too! No worries about the nachos . . . you deserve some 'fun food' once in a while and you sure work it off ! Lookout class, here comes a "nacho" Laura ! :eek: :D ;)

Gotta jet for now . . .
 
Jacque:: Sorry about the cold and the garage door. Can't DH fix it? No? Yeah, mine wouldn't be able to either (or just would be too lazy too!) . :rolleyes::p LOL Yay- you will be joining me for the rotation? KEWL! :cool: Glad you got your work outs but what timing. Hate that! :( I am doing the rotation ALMOST as is. Since I am no longer running I will likely plug INSANITY in on those days. The only other thing I plan on changing is to plug in K Spreen kickboxing where Cathe has hers. I adore Cathe's kb but I am hooked on Spreen right now so I'll probably just roll with that. Everything else should remain the same. I do plan to continue to do abs almost every day though so I will be adding them on where they are not already included.:)

Back to report I N T E N S I T Y done and OMG did I feel it after L&G last night (was already DOMing !:eek:). My arches are pulsating and I haven't sweated so much in a long time. Super duper w/o and I even had to pause a few times cuz my leggies just wouldn't go any longer. :p

Wendy - so after the garage door opener took a dump, my car wouldn't start and I was 45 min from home in the opposite direction of DH. TG my boss was still there from our meeting and we 'hailed' the security truck in the Walmart parking lot who had jumper cables. We'll see if DH ends up doing OK since he took my car to hockey tonight. He is very saavy when it comes to fixing things so by the time I got home he had pulled the opener apart and it is toasted with little plastic parts floating around inside. :confused: We've been doing well and now need a battery for the car, new tires, garage door opener . . . can you say TG we don't have many Xmas gifts to buy! :p Am loooking forward to the 'new rotation' - think I'll just go through all the new ones the next few days to 'test' them out and then start on Mon. When are you starting (or did you already?).

Okie dokie - not sure I'll be around in the AM (probably at lunch time) - going to see DD tonight and need to finish up some work 'homework' for tomorrow so won't be to bed very early . . .

Woo Hoo my Sharkies beat Ottawa ! So up and down they are.

Toodles . . .
