Damage Control Tuesday

Good Morning Peeps.

Yeah I know...shame on me...no personals y'day AGAIN! I'm sorry!

Well it's official! I got my job offer letter yesterday! I will be accepting it and giving my notice at my current job over the next day or two! OH MY GOD I am petrified! LOL

Today's work out is supposed to be Tear It Up but I don't want to do such a long work out this morning. I will either do half of it and save the other half for tonight or tmrw morning OR I may just sub in a Jackie Warner or Jillian vid instead. Not quite sure what I want to do yet.

Lori:: Sounds like you had a bad night the other night. Hope you slept better last night.

Jacque:: As you can see, I got my offer letter. They apparently got the test results on Friday. I didn't think they would get them until Monday. I'd like to steal a day to "breathe" between jobs so I think I will give my notice and fax the acceptance the following day or something like that. Whatever the case, I'll be starting the new job before month end. Those twisty drills in MMA Boxing are crazy! Bad back or not, they are NUTS! I peed myself a little the first time I did them! LOLOL

Laura:: Glad you enjoyed MMA Fusion. It's the only one besides the step work outs that I haven't really tried yet. I'll have to give it a whirl very soon. EVERYONE is freezing these days, huh? It's crazy!

Jen:: Welcome back!!!! Glad you are enjoying Jillian! I know I had a blast with her work outs as well when I was doing them a lot. Working out in the living room? You mean you don't want to go out into the sub zero garage at 5 in the morning!? LOLOL

Diana:: Hey girl! How are you?

Okay girls, play time is over. Time to get busy!

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Yummm.....coffee is sooo good! I forgot to set the pot but I had it already to go so I just had to press start when we got up. By the time I get my faced washed and use the washroom its ready anyway.

Im going to put my workout off for a little while this a.m just to see if my new workouts show up. I really wish they had given me a tracking #. Remember how long it took for Insanity to get here? Shipping from NJ is not to far from Ontario so it shouldn't take that long to get here.

So I decided what marathon I am going to do and when. I am going to sign up for the Toronto marathon on Oct 17th. We have decided that we aren't going to take any trips this year b/c DD is going on a class trip that is costing over $2000. She also needs needs new bedroom furniture. I have furniture I am paying for out of my tax return, plus we just got the hot tub. So we are going to do nothing until Oct and it will just be the 2 of us going. Unless my running partner decides that she wants to do another marathon. I had a dream last night that she didn't enjoy it and it took her 6 hours to do it! LOL So I am going to book all of the stuff I need to over the next few days. Plus this one is a Boston qualifier so I will be doing that one next yr if I qualify

Wendy** I know the feeling! Its almost like when you were younger and you would get your friend to break up with your bf for you! LOL You kinda wish someone could go in a tell your boss your not working for him anymore and then just leave! LOL I had to have a few conversations like that. Mine were over the phone though. One of them didn't even deserve to get that cause she was a proper you-know-what!

Jen** We've missed you Did I hear that you got something shiny for christmas? Apparently I don't know how to stop spending money. I just bought 2 new coats and 4 of the STS series. I have to stop though b/c I am out of control!!! I have to pay another $350 a DD's trip this week so I need to remember that the next time I want to spend. I still have one coat hid away in my closet cause Im sure DH will say " did you need another coat"? LOL

Jacque** Yes, last nights sleep was much better but we were later going to bed and then DD woke me up at 7:30 cause she wasn't feeling well. She wanted me to come into the bathroom with her...and sit with her...while she waited to throw up...which never happened! She has been sick alot lately and its only in the mornings and its only on school days, which makes me think that she is up later then she should be. Even though the lights are out in her room she could be texting away in there.

Alright...so my enjoyable cup of coffee as turned into many ups and downs. He is all over the house this a.m. He is gone again now. Why can't he just sit here and watch some tv while our bodies are trying to wake up!

Good morning girlies!

The phone is already ringing with stupid questions so I thought I better get here before the day gets away again.

I blew off my workout this morning because I know I'll have time to do it tonight. NMTZ is on tap, but I might opt for an Insanity workout tonight and do NMTZ in the morning.

Lori: Yay, I'm so happy you've decided to do a marathon! That's so exciting and you're almost ready for it already. You heard correctly that I got something shiny for Christmas It's gorgeous, and I'm so happy. We're thinking about a 1/1/11 wedding day.

Wendy: Jillian is my new hero of late! LOL I'm loving her workouts. They are super tough when you heavy up the weights. I'm doing almost all her exercises with 10 dumbbells and it damn near kills me. But it's doing some very nice things to my shoulders and arms, so I'm going to stick with her. I also picked up Jackie's One on One and Power Circuit. Haven't used them yet, but plan to combine them with Jillian's when my 30 Day shred is over. So are you back to doing SS?

Hello to everyone! I'll be trying to pop in later to see if I can catch up with anyone else.

Hey Girls!

Back to report 1/2 of my workout. I have abs and disc 4 done. Man, my arms are fried. I don't remember feeling like this before. Its allll good! Plus my new workouts showed up. Now I have to decide which one to do!!! I don't know...to confusing Im thinknig of one of the HIIT workouts but the circuit workout looks really good as well. Just dont know if my UB can handle anymore weights!

Jen** Oh...you are thinking dates already! Awesome! It will be here before you know it!!! Hope you get your workout in tonight.

So it offical...I registered for the marathon! Very excited! But its a loooong ways away and training won't begin until May or June!

Hello Ladies ..

OK .. I am officially declaring myself as a weakling .. started STS weights back at lunch .. disc 1 kicked my arse .. I didnt remember it being that freaking hard .. my chest is trembling .. my arms are shaking .. cant hardly hold a freaking pen ... .. WTH?????? OK .. so yes I have been slack on pushups .. and obviously slack on weights .. the pushups kicked my arse .. had to go to knees for most of them ... GEESH .. poor SIL is in worse shape than me .. she has lost too much weight and has NO upper body muscles any more .. she STRUGGLED .. and she is gonna have to take the weight down from where we began last year .. .. tomorrow I will not be able to straighten out my arms ..

That being said .. I kicked my own arse last night .. did LB triple set circuits ... .. OK .. the inner thighs .. there are no words to describe what my inner thighs feel like .. they hurt so bad at least it is taking my mind off my hamstrings (which were not fully recovered from MMA fusion) UGH .. I am pathetic

Wendy .. I LOVED MMA Fusion ... FUN!!! the thing that got my hamstrings is she does this front kick down to a plank to a plank run switch legs and kick w/other leg that FRIED my hammies ... I could feel them shaking .. but since you are not the weakling I seemingly have become it may not make you as sore as my sorry butt!!!

Lori .. congrats on committing to marathon .. WTG!!!!! your cyber pals will be rooting you on!!! I have not done the HIIT DVDs yet .. but the circuit one was fun!!! .. hope your daughter is fine .... strange she is only sick in morning

Jen .. I have been slacking on checking in too.. work insane ... and my life has been insane .. but I am hoping with the new year will come some sort of balance to better suit me ... I cant get biggest looser anymore and having withdrawals .. I love Jillian .. her style is a lot like mine .. DRILL SEARGENT .. LOL

hello to all that follow .. we are to get up to 46 today .. WOW ... back down to 20 tonight though .. but by weekend back to around 55 that will feel WARM compared to what we ahve been having .. but it is supposed to rain SAT ... yuck ... OK .. better run .. somehow I have got to make this sore body get up and get moving for my PLYO class tonight the LB is fried and DOMing .. and now that I have uber fried my upper body ... those plyos are gonna be terrible .. and I shudder to think about the planks or ins and outs .. .. have a great one!

Well I can report a workout for the day. I just finished Jackie's One on One, upper and lower body portions. They were good. Much like Jillian's but with some slight variations on some of the exercises.

Laura: I'm with you on finding a balance in the new year. So STS kicked your butt? It sounds like you'll be feeling it tomorrow. It must have been all that Insanity and Rev Abs maybe?

Well, I've got American Idol AND Biggest Loser on tonight at the same time. What's a girl to do? Maybe all the switching between channels with burn a few extra calories

See ya in the morning girls~
