Damage Control with Insanity on MONDAY!

Good Morning Girls!

I didn't go to bed has early has I wanted to last night. I started watching the AMA's and kept waiting to see who won artist of the year. I thought it was gonna be over at 11:30...then 12...it wasn't over until 12:30 and then I had trouble getting to sleep. I don't usually care for that stuff but I started watching it and got hooked. It may have had something to do with all the freakiness that was going on. Lady Gaga is one weird chick...and I can't believe Micheal Jackson was nominated for Aritist of the year...when we all know he only did one thing this year. Im not being ignorant b/c I do believe we all lost a great entertainer but he didn't put out any music this year. Anyway, I had to see if Taylor Swift was gonna beat Micheal.

I believe I was the last one to check in yesterday so I have no personals to catch up on. Poo-ie on that b/c now I can get my workout started before my legs are ready to cooperate. It takes a long time for my coffee to get from my mouth to my legs

Oh...I am also invited to an ugly sweater part in Dec. I was searching the internet last night for an ugly sweater and I was dying laughing! There are some pretty ugly sweaters out there.

Alright...Im not 100% what my workout is gonna be today. Im thinking a circuit using the TM...maybe a run + BC.

BBL!

Good morning girls

I just finished Shaun's upper body workout and a short run on the treadmill. That is the first workout for me since Thursday!

It has been one hell of a week. Last Wednesday, one of my best girlfriend's ex husband was found dead of an apparent suicide They have a fifteen year old son together. The whole thing is so so soooo tragic, and I've just been keeping myself available for her for whatever she needs. She doesn't have a good family support system, so she leans heavily on her friends for that. The past few days have been emotional and draining for everyone. So the funeral is this morning...we can finally put him to rest and get to work on picking up the pieces.

Needless to say, the stress levels have been quite elevated, too. It felt good to get a workout in this morning And since I've been up since three a.m. it wasn't difficult to fit it in either (Sleep is difficult these days.)

So I'll be getting into work late today, and it's going to be crazy busy with the short workweek (I have Friday off, too! Woohoo!), but I should be able to check in later and see what everyone is up to around here. Forgive my lack of personals, I'll try to catch up soon.

Later gators,

Jen

HI Girls!

My workout was just over 5 miles long and 4 seg of BC. I think I need to start my workout earlier if I want to fit in a longer circuit.

Jen** So sorry to hear above your friends loss. How is the son doing? Must be so hard. I can't imagine. Glad you got a good workout in this a.m!

Evening ladies !

I was with headache all weekend - not debilitating enough to keep me from cleaning (kicked the proverbial azz *per Wendy* on that) but too achy for a workout. Productive say no less.

Got more piled on me at work today so no way was I gonna miss a workout today. With my tendonitis in one hand and carpal in the other I didn't want to attempt heavy weights cuz I can hardly hold a pen right now. Started to do Double Cardio from 4DS Hi/Lo, but changed my mind for something a little more intense. Ended up doing Cardio & Weights using 8's or 10's and it was wonderful !

Wendy - see you did well this weekend with your workout - feeling better and less bloated today? LOL at "cricket, cricket" yesterday - where the heck were you today young lady?

Lori - hope you got lots of sleep last night - I may have hit the 4 hour mark but probably less with my arm - it was bad last night. Kept waking me up. Party girl Sat nite huh? At least you got a nap and a workout in.

Diana - guess my vote would be to fly on Xmas eve though it may be heavier traffic. Not sure about the weather and kinda hard to predict, but just one little snowstorm and it sets all the flights back. Would be a bummer if you got delayed. Did you get your workouts in y'day? Hope today was a good one for you.

Brighton - I remember seeing you post on the Cheetah's forum when I was a lurkin' Wowsers ! Twins ! I have nieces who are twins and about 10ish. At least you'll have a little help with the two older ones around. Surprisingly the kids about the age of your older two can be very helpful. My oldest is 4 yrs older than my youngest with one in between. The oldest was a great help.

FYI I'm a nearly 52 yr old mom of 3 who are DS1, 24, DS2, 22 and DD 20 yrs. They are all out of the house - oldest is married with two little boys so I'm a grandma to a 2 1/2 yr old and a 6 mo old. They are all about 1/2 an hour away - yippee for me ! Work full time in HR and am out in CA. Welcome to our checkin. Hope you have loads of time to "play" with us here. Lastly, CONGRATS !

Laura - guess it was a busy day for you huh? Hope not too bad ! Did you have a great weekend?

Jen - so sorry about your friends ex. How is their son doing? Was he close to his dad? Hope the rest of the week goes well for you and you get a chance to relax over the long weekend. If not relaxing, then at least enjoy it someway. Great job getting a workout in ! LOL about fitting it in since you woke at 3 AM. What is it with the checkin and us all awake at the wrong times of the day?

OK - off to get some din din and crash, hopefully to sleep ALL NIGHT LONG !
