Damage Control...Week of March 13th!

Good Morning Ladies,

Did everyone remember to "Spring Forward"? It's almost 11 and I haven't even started a w/o. Definitely a hard core...or long cardio is on the schedule for today. I will pick out something shortly.

The laser apt was fine. It only takes like 10-15 minutes for the treatment (lip/chin). She uses a numbing cream so it's not terribly painful, but its not completely numb either. It is bit painful, but bearable. I will have treatments every 4 weeks until the hair is completely gone! Can't be soon enough IMO. I wish I would've done this a long time ago.

I also took an interviewing class yesterday which was very informative. I'm going to read through all the materials later today. I really liked the instructor and she is also teaching a couple of the clases I'm taking next month. One of the classes is on using Linked In to find jobs. I have a Linked In profile but it has never been completed and is totally outdated.

This morning I went through the tutorial on my phone. It is a pretty amazing phone IMO. I also downloaded the Cathe app, WW app, and a weightloss hypnosis app. I figure I can listen to it when I go to bed, it can't hurt-right!

Wendy-what w/o did you do today?

bbiab to see what everyone else is up to today!
 
Hi there chickies !

It's been a very long time. Ran across Wendy's email from the first of the month when I was checking to see if my e-filed taxes were accepted.

Life is busy busy busy and so few workouts have been done in the last couple of months. :mad: Sucks big time. Can't get my workload to calm down and my new hire is not working out well. Back to the drawing board.

I am now communting 40 - 45 min each way so that added over an hour to my day also !

Diana - tried to text you when we played the Avs last time but it didn't go through . . . used the ph # from our San Diego trip. I have an iphone now and have moved into the texting world. Sounds like you got a new one also. Text me if you have a chance and still have my #. So how much is the laser to rid the facial hairs? I'd love to get rid of my moustache ! :p

Wendy - thanks for the email. I think of all of you often but all I do these days is get up, go to work, come home, eat and go to bed. Think I might slowly be working my way into some decent sleep patterns. Need to get back to workouts also. Only a couple done this month total ! Don't have much time to hit the computer any more . . . am trying so hard to remedy that situation !

If you ladies want to text . . . I'll send you my ph # in a PM. That is about all I can squeeze in . . . could actually do that at lunch now that WiFi is up and running at the new location ! ;)

Laura & Laura & Lori - Hi Ladies !

I saw a while back that you moved to a weekly check in. Guess everyone is getting busy, huh?

May pop back in later today if I can accomplish anything around the house . . . Take care my friends !
 
Hi Ladies.

Recently finished my work out!

Disc 11, 4DS KB cardio only + 4 mins of planks!

MESO ONE IS DONE! WOOH HOO! :D:D:D

Tomorrow is SUPPOSED to be a rest day. We'll see how THAT pans out!:p

Off to make dinner..new recipe with lots of prep so it may take a while...I'll be back a bit later though for personals!:)
 
Hi ladies,

Well I finally got my arse in gear and got my workout done....SJP/SB 90 minute cardio is done. I also popped in S90 Ball dvd...it was ab work. Only did about 10 minutes of that. I need to find out how long each of the S90 workouts are. It's probably in the materials, I just didn't read them and threw in a DVD. I can read about it later...or find out from Wendy!

I bought a premade lasagna from Costco or the supermarket and that is what we'll be having for dinner. Along with a salad and maybe garlic bread too.

Wendy-glad you got your w/o in today! Have planned any workouts for your STS recovery week?

Jacque-thanks for popping in. We were getting worried about you lady. So your new assistant isn't working out, that sucks big time. The laser treatments for me are $50 per session (every 4 weeks) for lip/chin. I purchased a package and it will be anywhere from $300-$400. I have blond/clear hair on my face which is much harder to get rid of than dark hair. Dark hair is ideal for laser hair removal.

Laundry is done, but I need to get showered and head to the grocery store. bbl
 
Good Morning,

This is the 3rd time I have tried posting and after I am done my post the computer freezes! DD probably has another virus on this!

O.k...so I am gonna make this shorter then before.

I had a busy weekend. Training and training myself...only 4 weeks and 3 days before the trip. I also did a little online shopping over the weekend. Its always a hard to know what size to order.

I am working today and am up to get a workout in. I only have an hour so I am thinking abs and a run. I hate that its dark out again b/c of this time change. I thought I could run outside but wasn't thinking it was gonna be dark still.

I am gonna try to come back while I am at work today. I may not get to read all of the missed threads but hopefully I can try to get back on track!

BBL!
Lori:D

Good Morning.

So I've got DOMS in my tri's from DISC 11 and 2nd day DOMS in hams from Disc 12!:eek:

Well my rest day didn't pan out but I also didn't do a tough work out. I set my ipod touch for alarms for 5, 515 and 530 since I planned on resting today (they are set for 4, 415, 430 on a w/o morning). The touch automatically reset it's own clock with the time change yet for some reason my alarms still went off at 4 and 415! WTH? After that I was awake and :mad: so I got up. Since I was up I wasn't going to waste all that extra time sitting on my arse so I decided to do a light work out: SJP step only + circuit 4 (core) of BFBM. The new plan is to rest tmrw and Thursday so I'll still get my 2 rest days this week like I had planned. Fingers crossed! :p

Be back from work for personals!

ETA:: Found great new use for tower during disc 11!!! Lowered the cross bar and used it for tricep dips instead of dragging high step out! I have a small space so do a lot of shuffling of the bigger equipment so it was nice to not have to do that! :)

Good Morning Ladies,

I'm taking today off, called in with a sick kid actually. I just need a day off. I have a ton of stuff that needs to be done around the house. I hope to get all the bedding washed, tons of filing (paperwork is everywhere), return some items to the store etc. I just haven't been able to get to everything. Especially when I have class 2 nights a week and I was gone most of Saturday.

This morning will be GS BSB and hopefully a run at lunch. I'm not skimping on my workout today. I also have bootcamp class tonight! Maybe I can get some of my Cathe downloads onto my Ipod. When I ordered the STS cardio dvd's, I also got the downloads. I see myself using mostly weights for the downloads so I can do them at the rec ctr.

I just checked and the STS tower should be here on Wednesday. The only problem in the UPS guy doesn't get here 'til late in the day and DH will most likely be here. Oh well, need to fess up sometime. He won't mind, he's pretty much used to my fitness obsession.

Lori-sorry you are having issues with the lap top. I notice spelling errors and missed words when using the laptop as opposed to the desktop. You are already counting down the days 'til your trip...you must really need it!

Wendy-I saw on the news there was another bug with the iphone and the time change. It happened during the last time change too so I would've thought it would be fixed. Not sure if this caused the issue on your ipod touch or not. Very innovative way to make use of the tower.

LauraR-Do you still have company? I plan to run for 40-50 minutes today. I haven't worn my garmin, but my pace is pretty slow. Right now, I don't care about that. I'm running for time and eventually my pace will increase naturally. Have you used the STS Tower yet?

LauraT-how was your weekend?

Jacque-hope work settles down for you soon.

bbl
 
MONDAY ugh

Hello Ladies -

Had a decent weekend . .DH was on long hour midnight shift and ILL as H## :confused: he thought they were going to take away his vaca for this week-but got the word last night that he has it .. so he is a happy - but TIRED man today! :D I did a long run FRI after work - it was awesome and my leg did fine! :eek: :D SAT I did the DREADED DEED of putting on the bikini and forcing myself to face reality - have to admit .. WAS NOT as painful or as bad as I imagined - everything but the GUT - my white arse got RED too .. I was only in the sun for a little over an hour :eek: WTH??? Today is to get to 77 degrees :cool: and sun - tmrw rain moves in then the rest of the week looks AWESOME :cool:

Jacque - SO GLAD TO SEE YOU GIRL!!! I was really getting worried about you - glad to see you are fine - and hope work gets better for you.

Wendy - WERE YOUR EARS BURING THIS WEEKEND ??? I got the bright idea to start back p90x - but couldnt find it - so bit the bullet and STARTED STS back :eek: and may I say OUCHIE WAWA :confused: my arms are so sore I can barely extend them out .. and it is all YOUR FAULT!!! LOL (jk)

Lori - I hate when my computer does that .. gggrrrrrr .. counting down to vaca and getting to buy new clothes .. NIIIICCEEEEE

LauraR - how long before you leave for the states?

Di - laser hair removal sounds PAINFUL!! ouch!!! I want the STS tower really bad .. but have been holding out on ordering it!

Brighton - welcome - I work in collections for a large utility - and then teach a fitness class after work during the week - no kids (but spoiled furbabies and DH) - I live in Southern Alabama - and I tend to have DOMS all the time :eek::eek::eek:

OK .. gotta jet - not sure what I am gonna do at lunch - plan on ALL STEP class tonight tho - thanks to STS I dont think I could lift a weight if I tried!! :confused: have a great one! :D
 
Diana...I tried to plan my recovery week work outs but it already went up in smoke. :rolleyes: I'd like to try the other core work out from S90 on wednesday along with some cardio. We'll see what happens. :p I don't blame you for calling out. I am about to do that myself soon. I have wanted to for weeks now but let guilt get me. I haven't actually called out sick since early last fall so I don't know why I feel so bad. I think it's cause I am afraid that I'll actually get sick right after that and have to call out again. :eek: Yep using the tower for tricep dips worked really really well. I won't set it up just for that but if it's up I will use it from now on! :) So your tower will be here soon! YAY! I am still waiting on the stuff I ordered last week! It's going ups ground and I never got a shipping notification or anything. When I put my phone # in the tracking here on the site it comes up with nothing. I don't know what's taking so long. I hope I get it today or I'm writing to them to ask where it is. I usually get my stuff in 24 hours! :confused::(

LauraT:: So you have tricep doms too? Misery loves company you know! ;) LOL I dread putting on a bathing suit for the first time every season b/c at the very least I am pastey white and that never looks very good. :( I am going to try very hard to get out in my yard on weekends this season so I can get some color. So where's your X work outs??? You must find them! :eek:

Jacque...Phew! Glad you are ok! Happy to hear from you! Hope you get your work load under control soon you can come back and play with us...and get some work outs in too! :)

Lori:: I've been getting up in the dark during the week for over a year now. The time change means nothing to me in the mornings. I enjoy that it stays lighter longer at the end of the day though for sure! :D

Oh my, I feel so tired today. I think its this flu bug that is trying to attack me...but you know me. Im not going down without a fight!! I should have went to bed earlier then I did last night as well.

I got a pleasant surprise when I came to work. My manager is out of town:D I did a little happy dance. Then I settled in and fixed a bunch of mistakes that were made over the past weekend and even last week. Took me a good 2 hours. Thats what happens when to many people are doing the same job.

Today's workout was abs and a 5 mile run. I also hopped on the bike to make my cardio 50 mins long. The run was good but I wasn't feeling it at all. I was so lazy!

Wendy** I have been getting up around 6'ish and the sun as been up. But now 6 is really 5!:( I can't wait for that to change again. I hate going to people's houses when it is still dark in the morning.

Jacque** I have your # programmed into my phone. I hope all is well.

Laura** Speaking of bikinis, I ordered one from VS the other night after I had 4 glasses of wine (and I don't like wine...imagine if I did!) It looks good in the mag but online it almost looks to revealing. I guess I will soon find out. I also ordered some nice dresses:)

Diana** LOL..your tower sounds like my lulu!:eek: Oh...you should tell b/c your gonna get busted, trust me. I don't know where my week off went but I had so much stuff to do, each and every day. I don't feel like I accomplised anything this week. I managed to quickly clean the house yesterday.

I may bbl. I have a car to take back to the dealership that we are looking at and I may go home and pick up my reading material.

Lori:)
 
Lori:: 4 glass of wine...and you don't even LIKE wine!?! :eek::eek::eek: Wow! I'm surprised that you didn't order the entire freakin' VS catologue w/that much booze in ya! LOL :p I drink wine 4-5 nights a week and still get tipsy off of 1 if I haven't eaten recently (like when I pour one right after work!:D)and 2 if I have. If I had 4 I'd be sloshed! I think I've only done that ONCE! I prefer to get sloshed off of captain n coke, martinis, etc! ;)
 
Hi Ladies,

I've had a very productive day. I cleaned out our filing cabinet and put away our tax stuff etc. The bed in the girls room had paper, receipts and stuff all over....it's all put away now! I also ran a ton of errands.

DH and I are going to the bank tomorrow to see if we can lower our interest rate on a few bills. It's always nice to know what our options are. With the fuel and grocery prices increasing we need to try to better position ourselves.

I just got an email that bootcamp class has been cancelled tonight. She will have a make up class either Tues or Wednesday. I never did run since it was much colder than anticipated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Lori-too funny! I'm not a big wine drinker either, but do enjoy a glass every now and then. I hope you are not coming down with something. I'm sure your new bikini is fine, ask your DH.;) Although you may be a bit uncomfortable since MIL is coming on vacation with you. What kind of car are you looking at? I'm starting to look at cars too, although I don't intend to buy one until next year around this time.

Laura-Actually, the laser hair removal isn't thaaatttt painful. Its the same as waxing I would say, but they have to go over the same area several times....and there are a lot of nerve ending in the middle of your face.
 
Good Morning,

Just a quick check in. I had to work last night and didn't get home until 2'ish:( Then up at 7:30....I wanna get a workout in before I go to work. Hoping to be there around 10 or so.

The cold is full fledged now....ugh! I didn't need this!

Wendy** I know...imagine if I liked wine!:eek: I was afraid of what affect it was gonna have on me though and I did have a headache. But I may have had that regardless!

Diana** We are looking at major options this week.We are thinking about changing banks all together and getting rid of the jeep at the same time. I have a Mazda 3 out. It is a 2008 but I don't need something brand new to take me back and fourth to work. It will probably save us about 300 a month.

I am going to try and come back later. My manager is around today and i am normally kept busy on Tuesdays.

Lori:)

Diana...I had written back to you y'day but you must not have seen it so I copied over to this post for ya!

Lori...Up for a work out after only 5ish hours of sleep? :eek: Hope you are either kept busy today so you have something to keep you awake, or are left alone so you can nap! I didn't sleep well AT ALL last night. I was up for 3 hours in the middle of the night! I'm not planning on going into work today...I've suffered through many a work day after a sleepless night. I'm not suffering through this one though!
 
Hi Ladies,

Today will be GS C&T, and a segment of coremax.

Although I did get a lot done yesterday, another day off would be good. I do need to go into the office today, but plan on working from home tomorrow. Hope to snag the STS Tower before DH sees it. It probably won't w/o that way since the UPS man comes late in the day and DH is home by 4:30.

Wendy-enjoy your day off. Sometimes we just need a day off every now and then. I'm taking next Friday and the following Monday off. DH's cousin will be here from Boston. It's spring break next week so I may take another day to do something with Jerod. I'm almost afraid to ask...but what did you order last week? More workouts???

Lori-wow, you are wonder woman. I'm pretty sure I would be sleeping in and bagging the w/o on that little of sleep. The mazda 3's are fun! I've been looking at the larger sedan, the mazda 6. 2008 would be new to me since my car is 2001. I've also been looking at the smaller suv's like the nissan rogue and honda crv. I won't be getting anything until next year at the very earliest, when DS starts driving. But it is fun to look and test drive.

Good Morning LauraT, LauraR, Tiffany, and Jacque!
 
TUE

Yep, I am home! :)

Ok well I'm back much later then intended but I see I didn't miss much! LOL :p

Happy to say that I slept through the night last night 10pm to 4am w/o waking up at all! YAY!

I have DOMS in the shoulders this morning. Undoubtedly it is from Sylwia and her evil upper body segment in Tonique 2! I used 2# DB's and barely got through it! :eek:

I'm FINALLY taking a rest day today. LOL

Previewed Booty Barre last night. I really like the looks of it and am excited to try it! It's on tap for tmrw! YAY!

DS tossed his cookies last night. Thankfully this time it was in the sink and not on the couch again. ;) I don't think he's sick. I think he just ate something that disagreed with him. He was complaining about a belly ache. He went to the bathroom and threw up and that was the last of it. He slept through the night with no other incidences that I am aware of. Good thing cause I was not thrilled at the prospect of having to stay home with him today after I was already home y'day. :eek:

Laura:: You've never gotten waxed anywhere? Really? I wax my eyebrows (have also had it done professionally), I've attempted to wax my legs and I've had a bikini wax done 2x. In the end the eyebrows are the only thing I felt were worth it. I just shave everything else. Laser treatment like Diana is getting sounds good though!!!

Diana:: You sound like me with your DH and the tower. I didn't tell DH about it until the day it was coming. LOL I ordered from Cathe using part of my giftcard and the coupon I had so what I got was FREE--wrist weights, Ab Circuits DVD, and a set of bands. I think that's it. IDK..it's been so long since I ordered it. :rolleyes: STILL don't have it. :confused:

BBL~:cool:

Good Morning:)

I feel much better then I did yesterday morning! LOL And what I day I punched at work. It was brutal. I normally leave at 4 and I didn't get out of there until 6! There were still things I could have done but I left it for my coworker. There is always to much to do on Tuesdays!

I managed to do abs and a 5 mile run yesterday morning. I went to bed nice and early last night, I was probably asleep before 10:30 and up at 7:30. Not sure what is going on with this cold but its just kind of there. Its still in the throat stage and not really in my head yet. I have a workout session at 8:30 and after that I will do my own workout. I am thinking the GS's again and maybe I run outside after lunch....but of course its windy again.

Diana** It is fun to test drive but its also very tempting! Esp when the cars are new. I think everyone loves the new car smell! I can't believe the kids will soon be driving....I think I will be even more nervous when some guy picks her up in a car:(

Wendy** Nice workout this morning. Glad to hear you had a better sleep...like myself! I was falling asleep watching the biggest loser so I figured it was best to take my butt to bed before I got my 2nd wind. There was no chance of me getting sleepy at work yesterday!

Laura** I ordered some more lulu! LOL The capris I wore for the 1st time last week were on sale again in just black. They are so cute and have reflectors on the calves with frilly material around it. And of course I couldn't have those shipped alone so I order the blue tank with the zebra like print on it.:) I have a few parcels coming in the mail now:eek: Hoping to get my dresses from vs today or tomorrow.

O.k...I will probably bbl!

Lori:)
