Good Morning Girls.

Oops, I let the "good" part sliip. Sorry. lol :p

Sicko reporting in for duty bright n early! :rolleyes: Not sure how much longer I can keep this up girls. It's driving me B-A-T-T-Y I tell you! Although I do admit that I honestly felt crappy enough that I didn't WANT to work out y'day. Problem is that I could only spend so much time on the couch before I got BORED and started thinking of doing a work out. GRRRR. We'll see what today brings....My honest to goodness fear in all of this is that I will eat back on what I have lost! My appetite as a whole is no smaller. There are times of the day when I'm not as hungry (when I feel worse) but over all I am eating the same amount of calories. Actually, it's probably not even hunger but...once again...BOREDOM! :mad: Okay okay, I'm done complaining....for now! ;)

Let me get this posted just incase Lori is sneaking around here some where and I'll be back in a bit with personals!
 
Good Morning!

I have a feeling today will be alot better then yesterday!:) Or atleast I hope. DS woke up at 6:45 again but I lay down with him and he went back to sleep until 8:15. I think we all feel well rested.

I was planning on running outside but it is suppose to rain. The darker clouds are rolling in now so I will have to play it by ear and see what happens. It may be an Insanity day and a run later....or maybe weights. Not sure yet. BTW, when I got home yesterday my workouts were back, unharmed;)

Wendy** Sorry to hear you are still feeling crappy! I don't get sick very often but the worse time I remember was right after DS was born. I was soooo sick with the cold! One minute I was hot...next cold...couldn't sleep cause I was bf'ing. DH took him one night so I could go to bed and of course I couldn't sleep! and I couldn't take anything bc I was bf'ing:mad: I was a zombie! Hope this is the last day of feeling like this!

Jen** Yummy salad last night!!! I think I should make something like that for dinner tonight! Although, I thought about making spagetti.

So we went to my inlaws neighbours house last night and of course, DS had his usual meltdown when he saw me. He started throwing things so I grabbed him and took him downstairs. I had to eat downstairs with him while everyone else ate upstairs at the grownup table:eek: I played with rubber duckies and tried to cut my chicken up with a butter knife. DH offered but as soon as I would try to leave, DS would cry.It was driving me crazy partly b/c my BIL sticks his big ugly nose into it all the time. I don't mind him telling DS to be quiet SOMETIMES, but everytime he does something he doesn't need HIM to tell him to be good. Control f'ing freak is what he is....typical military!

Ok...I should see what else is happening!

Good morning girls !

I think I moped around enough last night and am ready for a new day. Got my doggie food made while I pondered a bit and this AM I’m heading in a few minutes to lift some weights. (Just not enough energy for an Insanity workout but I need a boost).

Wendy - hope you get to feeling better soon ! Bummer that your appetite is not adhering to how you feel - but that could be a good thing so when you are feeling better you'll be ready for a butt blaster of a workout !

Lori - my DD was doing some similar things as yours but a couple years older. She still hangs with an older crowd because of the drama the younger crowds of girls can get into. The drinking thing is a hard one since it is so popular for some reason and they can get so carried away with it. My DD actually did move out when we told her her boyfriend was not allowed at the house (DH is judgmental when it comes to the way people dress, their hair and males with nose rings, eyebrow jewelry etc.). It is tough but I kept talking to her while she was out of the house. Her dad is a deadbeat and controlling so it didn't last long but then she was with her boyfriend. That was at 17. She has made it on her own but keeping the communication lines open while trying to make her see how bad her decisions are is a toughie. Stick with your guns the best you can. I understand . . . Sorry DS was being clingy last night - he'll get over it - some just take longer than others.

Diana - sounds like you are back on track after a couple bad luck days. I'm with you on the sleep thing - seems every couple of days I'll be up nearly all night. That was Sat when I needed sleep for the move on Sun. Got about 2 - 3 hours of sleep ! :( I'll be quite a bit behind on Insanity so will have to see what I can to to catch back up. Doubles just is not something my body will handle.

Jen - hope you cold is doing better too ! Good to see you are on track with the workouts at least. I am not liking being so far behind but, oh well, life happens and I can be a wimp sometimes too !:rolleyes:

Laura - well you are kicking some bootay in classes lately huh? No worries about not dropping lbs with this Insanity as I am more the way you are rather than our little Missy Wendy who just looks at Insanity and drops a lb ! :p My eating isn't horrible but I don't have much leeway these days so oh well - I do the best I can while I still enjoy life. At least working out keeps me healthy ! We were down 30' from Sat & Sun to about 70 y'day. Will be slowly creeping back up but only in the 80's - woo hoo a decent temp rather than scalding.

Thanks for the well wishes re: my VBF girls. I'm still feeling sad and will be for a while but that initial realization always hits me hard. That doggone "C" disease has affected too many people I know and many of them are no longer here. I HATE IT ! ! ! ! ! But life goes on and we make the best of it how ever we can.

Off I go to crank my frustration out on some weights ! Cathe take me away . . . ;)
 
I don't think my coffee was strong enough this a.m. DH said, " do you think the coffee is a little different" I said 'No" but prehaps it wasn't strong enough. OR it could be yesterdays drama that took a toll on me yesterday and as continued into today....who knows!

I did change all of the bed sheets and have the 2nd load of laundry in. I also did PH UB work. It started to rain earlier, then the sun came out..now its cloudy again. I was thinking about going for a run around 1'ish. I guess I will have to wait and see what the weather is like then. I probably won't stray to far from home, just incase it pours.

Jaqcue** I think everyone as their moments with their kids. Me get preggo at 16 wasn't easy on my parents, thats forsure. But atleast I was in a relationship and had sense enough to take care of her...and now look where thats gotten me:eek: I hate the C word as well. It will soon be 1 yrs since DH's uncle passed away from liver cancer. He was soooo full of life and energetic it was nuts! The last time I seen him was last Sept and I couldn't go in the house b/c he was hooked up to a oxygen mask and I had the cold. So he sat at the top of the steps talking to me, while I stood outside the door. :(

I will bbl, hopefully with some cardio to report!

Lori:)
 
Hello Ladies

Had my dermatologist appnt today .. had some weird spots come up that concerned me .. so I made apt .. 3 mnths later the spots are gone and finally get to the appnt .. but had full body scan .. she said none of the spots were cancerous .. :D .. she said the ones I was most concerned with were some long name but basically genetic (thanks Dad) .. since I do stay in the sun alot during the summer on the boat she said it would be a good idea to come each year and just do a scan for safety sakes ;) okie dokie!!!

Wendy .. man take care of yourself and forget exercising .. you dont want to get worse . if your fever persist call the Dr. and get him to call you in some meds ... think they are treating any flu like symptoms as swine flu now .. so dont mess w/it .. rest - fluids - rest and if fever persist CALL THE DR!!!

Lori .. sorry DS had another meltdown .. maybe he feels the tension from the overbearing BIL and that is why he freaks out .. ?? .. he wants mommy there to fix it ??? kids can sense uneasyness!!! glad the workouts made it back unscaved!!

Jacque ... I did make myself weigh this morning :mad: EXACTLY the same not one smigen of anything lost! :mad: oh well .. I am gonna kick the wieghtlifting in the arse next week .. that aughta do it ;) sending healing vibe for BF .. yes the big C is scary .. my older friend that has battled cancer for 2 years now is still going strong .. she goes back to TX in acouple of weeks for test to see HOPEFULLY some good progress reports!!

Jen ... did you make the first of the second month of Insanity yet? which one did you do???

Di ... hope the sleeping gets better .. I usually have one good night .. one bad night .. night before last I could not sleep at all just real uneasy... last night I slept ok but had nightmares again .. again long scary ones .. seemed to never end.. a lot of death .. and floods and dead bodies .. I HATE when I do that ... usually everytime a tsunami hits somewhere I have theses dreams b-4 it hits .. ugh .. I hate it ... maybe tonight will be better .. may have to have some CABS to put me into a CAB dream like state .. LOL!

OK .. so no class today .. SIL canceled too .. I am going home and hitting and Insanity .. cant make up my mind if I want to start month 2 .. or just do Pure Cardio .. b/c tmrw I have MY plyo class .. dont think 2 HARD@$$ plyo classes back to back are good for the body .. ?? any thoughts???

Have a great one!:D
 
Afternoon Girls. (I had written "peeps" but my DH made fun of me so I had to change it! :p)

No work out. No surprise there, ey? LOL

Laura:: Phew! Glad your scan came out clean! I've never been to a dermatologist. No worries, chickie. No fever here! Just lots of snot and pressure in the head, and feeling exhausted w/body aches on and off. Although some good news, I started blowing my nose a lot since this morning and the pressure in my head has decreased A LOT so I think there is and end in sight! My biggest fear was of getting another sinus infection but I'm hoping these are positive signs that I am getting better now, not worse! :)

Lori:: Oh I can't stand when my coffee isn't strong enough! I used to drink weak coffee cause that's what my mom makes until I got used to my DH's fmaily's way of making it. They like it strong. Now that's the only way I can drink it! I can't drink my mom's weak coffee anymore. YUCK! :eek:

Jacque:: ITA about the way cancer seems to be rampant these days. It truly is scarey! :( So which Cathe weight work out did you do? Once again, I am hoping that tmrw I will feel good enough to do SOMETHING! I'm getting really ticked off and impatient now! *crosses arms and stamps foot impatiently* LOL

Guess that's all for now. Gonna peruse the forums for a few more minutes and then it's off to figure out dinner. Since I'm feeling a bit better today, DH will cook the meat on the grill and I'll make sides. It's been quick meals the past few days so this will be real some "real" food finally!

BBL or in the morning!
 
Well, dinner is done. DH ate steak and me and DS had italian turkey sausage. I dipped mine in deli mustard. Real italian, huh? :p It sure was tasty though and I think the horseradish in the mustard helped to loosen up a bit more of the slop in my head! Woo hoo! :D Yeah, I'm easily amused! LOL

Gotta go clean up now but I just wanted to post those few random thoughts since they were running through my brain. Hey, if anyone feels like comin' over to help with clean up, feel free! ;)

I'm outta here....:cool:
 
Howdie!

Just finihsed putting DS to bed. For some reason he won't let his father do it anymore. Of course, he is secretly thrilled about this b/c he doesn't have to lie there with him. Tonight he was going to try and put him to bed but as soon as I would move, he was right behind me. Then his father gets up and walks right out of the room. I don't mind when he is sleepy but its the nights that I am in there for an hour!

I ended up going for my run this afternoon. It wasn't a very good one. It was muggy out and windy. And of course when the wind wasn't blowing in my face, it wasn't blowing at my back either:mad: It felt like my face was on fire! Anway, I managed to do 12.5 kms.

Laura** Thats awesome news about those spots.Hope you are enjoying your insanity workout tonight!

Wendy** NO worries...my coffee will be stronger tomorrow morning!!! I will get DH to make that! I hate sausage...yuck! How can you eat that stuff?:eek: DH loves it and everytime he bites into one he wants me to taste it...and I say " why don't you understand...I don't like SAUSAGE!!"

DH and I are taking DD out for wings now. Im not eating...but I do need a drink:confused: DS gave me a run for my money today. He colored my heater red and the wall...then when I wouldn't let him near my folded laundry (cause he likes to tear it apart) he poured salt and vinegar chips all over the floor and of course, thats the only thing in the world the dog won't eat!

BB in the a.m!

Lori:D
 
Back to report my 2nd workout ;) for the day (guess it's about time to end my rest days ! :eek:). Finished PCC tonight - I can feel my extended rest days a little. Made it through and felt great though.

I'll just keep plugging along and doing what I can. Not sure how it will all turn out - may end up skipping a few of the rest week workouts.

Lori - I love love love strong coffee. You ever been to France? LOL - talk about strong coffee. I guess so many other people drink it weaker than when you order a pot they serve it along with a pot of hot water to dilute ! :p I drank it straight - my DH added water. Too funny it was ! So you have to lay down with DS to get him to go to sleep? That's a bummer - guess I was a meanie cuz I laid mine down and they have to stay there until they went to sleep. Course DD, pain in the tush she was, got up dozens of time when she first got her "big girl" bed for a month or two. It was exhausting cuz she only slept from 10ish to 6 or 7 - no naps by that time. Oh well, they grow so quickly he'll be in college before you know it. LOL about his antics today though I know you weren't LOLing ! Funny how dogs can be picky !

Laura - good news about the derm appt. Well you gotta remember the partying so if you are the same #s that is a good thing. Just imagine if you hadn't been kicking some butt with your workouts ! I am thinking my bod likes the combo too - will attempt to add more weights in as I can - depends on how tired I am in the AM cuz I don't have any energy left after my PM Insanity workouts ! VBF started with breast cancer in 2002 and has been clean until she started getting short of breath a year ago. Guess it is possible to have the breast C cells migrate through the thin lung tissue so she has breast C cells in her lungs. The internet doesn't have great news for that type - we will pray and work together. She has very strong faith - sure hope He realizes she is needed her for a while longer. Has a 16 yr old son and that is what makes me ache the most. Ah well, have to pray for the best. Thanks for the thoughts . . . We are both so giddy to see each other again - hoping our reunion will help. We were attached at the hip for many many years until we ended up in different parts of the state and married. TGF Facebook ! :D

Diana - gosh I hope your day went OK - seems you were on track with your workouts - did you sleep well last night?

Jen - are you feeling better today? Did you visit with Shaun this AM ?

Wendy - I did BM2 UB - no premix, just started the workout with UB and also did the ab portion. It was about 25 min or so. Nice workout - I can feel that I haven't lifted for a while. Good to hear you are "draining" - sinus pressure is the worst. And ya don't need an infection either. LOL at adding horseradish to your mustard. I go for wasabi or jalapenos ! :p By the way, I was washing dishes with you in my mind ! LOL ! ;) I am betting you'll get a workout in tomorrow !

Time to eat my carne asada "burrito". See y'all in the AM.
