GOOD morning PEEPS

[elliemom]

Boy it feels great to say that!!!!
I hope evryone's week was wonderful, I'm a little too far behind to catch up but I will be able to do so this week.

I know this is an exercise forum, but I haven't done a lick of that!!! Seems like all I've done is relay my troubles. Selfish little bitch that I am. Thanks all for listening and helping.

Now I guess I have to exercise huh??? Jerry is gonna kick my butt at Cathe's class next week. YIKES!!!! I plan on starting today, but then my weekend is full, so my true start will be Monday. It's always "I'll start Monday isn't it"?

Today I need a little rest and some real food. So if any of you are doing BM2 or Bootcamp etc. Just don't tell me okay. I can only start with a short step workout.

Have a great day

Peeps!

BRRRRR....it is 10 degrees with a windchill of -1 so the dog is not getting a walk until it warms up Got PUB on schedule this AM with a massage at noon and power shopping after that.

Ellie~ You have been through a lot of stress over the past couple weeks so be nice to yourself. We ALL have come here at one time or another to rant/complain/bitch etc so no worries Enjoy your workout today!

Waves HI to all peepers who follow!!

ITS FRIDAY PEEPS!!!

good mornin' sweet peeps!

I am one hurtin' unit! tuesday and wednesdays workouts GSCT and GSL respectively did their job and have me completly at the mercy of my calves, hamstrings and chest! UGH! Last night was just a 30 minute circuit workout on the treadmill of various speeds and inclination... I was pretty sweaty but I'm sure it didn't help my legs recover much...

Have you ever really tried to pee standing up??? I DID!!! (and no Jerry, this question does NOT apply to you! LOL) and now this morning I woke up in a startle because DH (who is normally out the door by 4:05a.m. forgot his frickin phone and had to come back to the house... scared the bejeezes out of me... and I tweeked something in my back getting caught in all the pillows and sheets! so not only can I not sit, I can't breath either! the heated seat in the truck felt SO good today!!! They may find me out there sitting in the parking lot later! hopefully the Tylenol X will help in a few... I took enough of them...

Ellie: you are such a trooper! Hey, That's the OTHER reason we are all here... to support each other through the good times and the bad! and for fitness and NON-fitness challenges alike! I for one am glad that there are people on here that you (meaning all of us) can talk to! So, as for not being able to exercise, I'll take a short step or whatever you got for a workout today!!! IMHO I'm sure you are getting more of a workout than you think, it's just not an "official" workout! I will just have to live vicariously through you going to Cathe's to have torturous... I mean fun workouts! Your boys will love it too! So, here's to happier days ahead and a wonderful Christmas!

JJ: sorry you are so cold!!! it was only 40*'s this morning and we are all complaining a bit, but I definately don't miss Alaska winters, so I'm counting my blessings to be here in Vegas right now!

Waves to Karin, Heather, Wendy, Jerry, Judy, (sheesh I need to make a good list of all the Peeps!) and anyone I have forgotten... Hugs for a great day!!!

It's 1 o'clock and I'm still sitting here on the couch!!!
Nooooooooooo motivation. Can't seem to get myself going. Will pick up boys at 3 and weare seeing santa tonight. That might have to be enough for me today. DS party tomorrow and Sunday we will put up the tree.

Honestly Peeps, this couch is really comfy right now. I think I'm gonna stay here for a little while longer.

Hey Ellie: I'll catch a flight to NJ right now, and we can eat popcorn (air popped of course *secretly ICK*) and eat Milk Duds and watch chick flicks!!! I could use a couch and a warm blanky right now! Got cocoa & marshmallows?

 

[elliemom]

Dani and all other PEEPS COME ON OVER!!!!

It's 4 pm now and the only stepping I did was to my car to pick up the boys and to the kitchen for some M&M's.
So basically, I'm still sitting on the couch!!! The boys are playing nicely and I am taking advantage of it. I just have to accept that my mind and body need the rest right now (or I'm just being really lazy and lovin' it)

Please bring chocolate, cookies, candy and all other really good junk food Hey, It's called comfort food for a reason right??? I'm damn comfortable right now.

Good afternoon!!

Ellie....You'll know when the time is right to begin exercise again...there's no instruction manual that comes with knowing when to exercise...you'll just know, trust me!!

By the way...last time I checked, Cathe is the one responsible for the butt-kickings, not me...I have questioned my sanity on the drive to Glassboro quite a few times!! Something always makes me continue, though!

JJ....I'm here complaining about the 40 degree temps...you just made me feel a world warmer...ahh the balminess...think I'll head to the beach now!!

Dani...Be careful with the back, take it from one who knows!!! I have finally wised up to the point where I modify any exercise that puts extra pressure on the low back!! I will be going back to Gym Styles for a few weeks after my current Muscle Max rotation to shake things up!

Have a good one!!

I'm joining Ellie in the not working out today. Insomnia bit me again last night, and today I had the day off from work so I could prepare for Houdini's birthday tomorrow. Here's what I did:

*baked 36 banana bread cupcakes and iced them with cream cheese/marscapone cheese frosting
*washed four loads of clothes
*went to Party City for Curious George plates, goody bags, bubbles, etc.
*went to Target for 1 Sit & Spin, animal crackers for the goody bags, cleaning supplies
*Went to Whole Foods for gourmet olives, five kinds of cheese, crackers and toasts

I'm TIRED! Right now I've moped 1/2 the kitchen floor, will go back and mop the other half.

Tomorrow the party is at 2PM. I will need to play one final round of hide the crap, cube the cheese, chill the drinks, vaccum, etc. I would like to get in an early workout but we'll see.

But I'm with Ellie right now--the couch and The Dallas Morning News are looking REALLY good. LOL.

Good night, all!
Wendy

AWWWW.....

Wendy you MUST post pic's when you have a chance to recover after the party! How exciting! You have certainly worked very hard to make it extra special! You must be exhausted!!! We expect to get the pic with all the frosting all over the face! Every kid has one!!!

Seems that there are a lot of us who just couldn't work up the energy or motivation to workout... I didn't manage a workout of any kind (other than eating) at all! My back is still twinging a bit and don't want to aggrivate it... BTDT during my first week of Cathe! DOMS are also ever present STILL, so every time I stand up I'm ouching!

Oh well... there is always tomorrow!

nite nite... until we peep again!
