Hi, guys!
Happy Valentine's Day!!
Oh gawd. The person living in the apartment just above mine is having construction done from today for a MONTH. They are going to tear out the cement in the flooring. This is not good. For someone like me who works mostly at home, this is not good.
I think I need a hot bowl of broccoli, cottage cheese and tomato sauce. Maybe with feta.
The drilling and whatnot hasn't started up yet, so I'm all right as of now.
Today was S&H shoulders, GYM calves, C&W abs and Winsor Pilates buns and thighs. Ahhh!
Now to work I go!
Jen - Wow, blizzards everywhere! Remember how great it used to be to be snowed in and couldn't get to school? I know this sounds like a lie, but I would love to shovel snow. It totally sounds like fun exercise...How great to have been there to happen to hear the guy tell the story about hot water and his son. I had no idea that hot water could have such a positive influence like that. After you drink hot water, how long does it take for the magic to take place? And how did you know how much water to take? Sorry for the grilling, but I've never heard such a method and I find it really interesting!...Oh, by the way, I bought fixings for some Mexican food. I hadn't bought cheddar cheese in forEVER, and now I find it's calling me incessantly....Heheh, Shoveling With Jen. I can see the catch at the beginning of every DVD workout, Jen holding a big ol' snow shovel, looking straight at the camera saying "You can...(pause)...Shovel it!"
Diane - Oh, you should have milked that meat cutting situation for all that it was worth : in front of your bosses, after the guy cut your meat for you, you should have said, in a stern voice, "Now butter my bread."...Anyway, glad to hear that your sister had a positive reaction to your pregnancy!
Arista - Oh, I got almost all that gross flab off that meat, because it totally icked me out. It could have been an extremely dull documentary called The Lunch Project : Marble. I was totally immersed in my task and nothing else. It'll teach them better where to take me for a meal when they want to talk business LOL.
>I might buy him some sexy lingerie (for me)
Cracked up at that parenthesis! But it's good to be clear about those things, eh? LOL. And I think it's a marvelous idea to get something sexy like that on you for him - particularly since you've never done it before. He's going to flip!
Michele - Oh, wow!! That elliptical is gorgeous! Man, I kind of wish I hadn't seen it LOL. I hope I don't start getting the urge to measure my apartment spaces again.
Robin - I'm sorry to hear that Greyor is still on a respirator, but what a relief to hear that the doctors say he'll have a full recovery. You really must be exhausted. I think whatever falls on your plate is good for an exercise plan. And I agree with Jen, have you considered doing a stretch workout, or a light one? You never know what muscles are all cramped up from your hospital stress, just waiting for the plyo to ignite them!...Oh no, another lost post?! ARUGH! I love your pithy posts!
>LOL about your fatty ribs. Well, not YOUR ribs. The rule is no bad things said about ourselves. Does that mean I can say bad things about you or any of the others? I like my ribs with so much sauce you can't see the fat.
LMAO at this entire post. LMAO!!
Oh, and I see you were able to workout after all. And Body Max no less. Sheesh.
Terri - Har har har, stoking your oven! You'd think out of all the words Dana used : The Lean Cuisine Brick Oven Mushroom Pizza, that really the only word that should have registered is PIZZA. Maybe 'cause you guys keep posting yummy sounding recipes that require ovens, I've become acutely aware of them LOL. I mean, it's not like I'm asking you about getting together with a guy named Papa Murphy, right?
Mariah - That is really, really awesome of you to follow through with your workouts and ignore that voice telling you to skip it! Woo hoo for Mariah!! No snacking and no desserting but no losing weight - now that must be just about the most frustrating thing ever. But no doubt you've lost fat if you're eating relatively healthful meals. Do you feel any different - could you have made some muscle with your workouts? If you're bloated, have you tried upping your veggies and fiber? 2 cheats in 3 months is really an amazing accomplishment and something to be proud of. It's great that the positive things that you get out of your meetings with AA and OA are giving you a stronger, more positive inner voice...Did you have a great time with your cousin?...Oh yeah, I would totally count snow shoveling at cardio & weights.
Dana - It's good to vent. And you needed some good venting. How frustrating to have a plan and want to do it, but just not be able to for reasons that are seemingly easy to remedy. Can the kids hang out with DH in the garage? Is there any way to talk to DH to set up so that he can watch the kids for an hour while you do something good for yourself? I wish I could come over there and watch your kids while you work out. But like Jen and Arista both mention, don't get down on yourself. There's nothing, nothing to be ashamed about being in a bathing suit to enjoy the summer festivities with your children (and mostly every other female adults there who are just as self-conscious)........I was taken to ribs for a meeting, so it was with someone who doesn't know that I don't normally eat that kind of thing - none of my friends would think to go to ribs with me! Funny, now that you mention it, I didn't feel gross like I did after eating a plate of fried food. I guess I must have really cut away all the fat, so my ribs meal was in actuality fairly small LOL....That's cool of your boss to let you do some work at home and use it as a work day rather than a forced holiday.
Have a nice day everybody and chat with you later!
Happy Valentine's Day!!
