Flab Blaster check-in - 1/29

[hippahips]

Hi everyone, it's a gray day out here in DFW. But my shoulder feels so much better and my knee's happy, though I'm still afraid to move it. So I might do PH today minus the leg work. Maybe I'll sub the floorwork from PLB or PS or some segments from L&G. It all depends on how the knee feels. It's been my boss lately. Can't wait to get back to my workouts.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi everyone- I'm still here- its been that kind of week!

After three days of the kids being home due to snow, we're finally getting back on schedule today. I was able to work out Monday (Bootcamp) and yesterday (SJP)and I'm hoping to get a moment tonight to do something quick (maybe heavy up w/Super Body Sculpt).

Since we were stuck inside I started about ten projects but wasn't able to finish any so the house is a mess. This is the first time I've been able to sit down a take a minute...

Pinky, I missed the post- what happened? Are you out of commission for a while? Hope your knee/shoulder complications are better soon!
What shoes did you get? I noticed yesterday my shoes are started to wear and it may be time to replace them- I have really high arches so I'm searching for the perfect shoe.

Tracy, where are you in Maryland?? I'm in Chevy Chase off DC border.
I had no idea you were so close!

Lori, Sabine, Lori, Shywolf, Joy- good to see all of you again!

Hope everyone is having a really warm day-
Brenda

UGH!!!! What a day!

Today was a semi-planned day off for me. In order to workout before going to work I would have had to get up at 4:30 am. I went to bed at around 9:30 last night with my alarm set for that scary hour of the morning. However, when the alarm went off I instantly knew there was no way I was getting out of my toasty bed so I quickly changed the time and promptly when back to sleep. I knew this was a very real possibility so I'm not too broken up about it.

It was really gray and blah all day and not sun to speak of. So I've been kind of ho hum today. After work I went to a retirement party for a coworker and pigged out on hors d'oeuvres and enjoyed a glass of red wine and then a full fledged, non-diet Coca Cola. I feel ill and am so bloated I can't imagine having anything else tonight so I guess this counts as dinner. Can't wait to workout tomorrow morning to undo this round of indulgence.

So glad you're back Brenda. With the weather as bad as it has been I figured your absence was due to kids being home or ill or what not. Great job with still getting workouts in with everyone being home.

Glad that your knee is better Pinky. Be sure to come back slowly and try not to overdo it (this coming from someone who tends to do just the opposite).

And hellos to Joy, Lorisax, Lorihart, Tracy, Stacy MN, and Shywolf.

I guess there is something in the air - I also had a blah day. My schedule got all messed up today - I didn't think I was so rigid, but I am finding that if I don't workout during "my time" i.e. nap time for the little two, I don't work out at all. I kept telling myself that I would workout after dinner when the kids went to bed, but then a girlfriend came over for dinner with her kids (both our husbands are out of town), we let the kiddos run wild while we had some pizza,wine and girl talk, and I knew it was over for me. I guess I will chalk this day up to exercising my mental health!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow, maybe PLB and a few Imax intervals. Still trying to decide what I'm going to do next - I don't feel like I got any great results with this rotation - the scale didn't budge and I don't feel any noticeable changes, although I was definitely more consistent about working out than I am when off-rotation.
Brenda- I have been in Annapolis for about 2 1/2 years. Before that we lived in Alexandria for a about a year and a half. I guess we are kind of working our way around the beltway (although now we are way out!)
Hello to everyone else - hope you are having a good day
Tracy

Hi Guys well this week was a waste . since I did not w/o ...was feeling a bit wonky with the kids being home and such that my routine just got shot ...I was in no mood either.

Glad to see you all and I see I wasn't the only one homebound with kids home from school ...sheesh it's been one heck of a week!

Hugs to all!
