Morning Ladies -

This morning I did P90 Masters Sculpt 5/6 followed by 20 minutes of Kathy Kaehler Step aerobics. I also did Eoin Finn's Power Yoga for Happiness, Quickie workout (30 min) last night. (wow - what a great DVD - it has about 6 premixes on it...so you can choose anywhere from a 30 min to 80 minute workout). I think I strained a hamstring/inner thigh muscle though...:(

Well, I finally slept last night, but only got 5 hours. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some rest this weekend.

My husband just called to tell me to be careful going to work. He just heard on the news that there were 4 robberies at the hospital yesterday by the same man. The hospital I work at is sort of on a bad side of town, but usually it's not this bad there. Our hospital has been on the news every night, as there is major restructuring going on and they have been eliminating positions left and right. Right now, they are at the Director and Management level. From what we're told, if the hospital doesn't start to turn itself around, we could be bankrupt in a few years.

Have great workouts everyone! I'll try to check in from work later.
 
Lora,

Well I am so glad you finially got some much needed sleep. I wish you could have gotten more though. I hope you will this weekend!!!

Seems like we always have to look over our back no matter where we are just to be safe. I live in the country, but that doesn't mean it is safe either.

Well yesterday I did KPC with DD and her friend. It was a blast! Today I will ride a bike with my son into town. He couldn't ride with DD and her friend last time because he was not feeling well so it will be nice to just ride with my son this time. The weather is going to be gorgeous here..in the 70's. Probably get wind burn though. LOL! I will bring my chapstick along! ;-)

Morning ladies!

Lora-I am glad you got some sleep and I hope you can get more this weekend. Be very careful at the hospital. I can't believe that that happened 4 times in one day. Wow!

Charlotte-Have fun on the bike ride.

I have some news to share! I go tonight to write my first offer on a house!! Woo hoo! I am scared and nervous and excited all at once. I think it might be a long weekend. After I write the offer I have to present it to the listing agent and then they have to take it to the seller. We could go back and forth or they could just say not interested. I hope it just gets accepted of course!! lol

Also tomorrow we are going to work on the kitchen some more and hopefully get all the paper up. The kitchen is a mess and it is driving me nuts. lol

Have a great day ladies!! Not sure about a workout for me since I also have a stiff sore neck. I must have slept wrong. ugh! Any suggestions on a workout that would be good?

I will be back!
 
Morning,
Lora do be careful!! What is going on at your hospital???

Charlotte have fun in the Sun:7 It is rainy here!!

Today I plan on doing coremax, GS legs, and ride my airdyne.

Terri THANKS, and Yep I am 40 :7 I am older than most of the parents at my kids school, and they always assume I am there age, and can't believe when they find out how old I really am:7 Really I have my mom to thank.... She looks really good!!

Dallas I see you bought the butt book......Is it better than glute issue??? What recipes are really good??? Did you buy it at the store or have to order it?? I am like Christine I *LOVE* soup recipes!!! Let us know if there are any good ones:)

Sabrina how did it go last night?? Hope you had a good time!!

Well gotta go!! Will be back later!!

~Nicole
 
Thanks Nicole! I am so excited! I just have to hope now that everything goes thru.

Are you sure you are 40???

The Spring concert went really well last night. Thanks for asking. DS did a great job. The only bad thing was that it was grades 1-4 so there were two concerts. 1-2 first and then 3-4. DS is in 3 so we watched the younger kids first. What upset me though was that the people behind us would not be quiet when grade 3-4 were on since their child was done. Alot of people got up and left even though they were told not to once their child was done. It was rude.
 
TGIF Ladies,

Sabrina, that is such great news! Do keep us posted.
Lora-Glad you got some sleep.
Nicole-You really do look so much younger!
Dallas-How is the foot?
Marietta-Thanks again for the nice e-mail. It really helped :)
Charlotte-Have fun on your bike ride.
Christine-It was fun reading your post and getting to know more about you!
Susan-Things going ok?

Today calls for a 45 minute run but I will run for an hour. I will also do a firm it up and some ab work. I plan to do the gymstyle marathon with Shelley tomorrow. Anyone else doing this?

I saw a movie last night and actually we walked out it was that bad! It was at the dollar movies. Never go see Hostel! Lora did you and DH se that one when it was first out?
If so did you find it as horrible as I did?!

Terri
 
YES TGIF!!! For being a short school week this was a LONG week!

Lora ~ Yes, please be careful. Do you carry mace or anything? Scary!

Sabrina ~ I was going to say the last time I took paper down I remember being quite sore in the shoulders and neck. Take some Advil. Do you have SM? Maybe a segment or two would help work out the kinks. I got your e-mail. I'll be glad to help you out w/your trip.:) Good luck Sabrina!

Nicole ~ No way! You're not 40! You look good girl! Yes, I just got The Butt Book. It was pretty cheap on Amazon.com and I got free shipping because I ordered another book. I'd like to try the tomato garlic soup this weekend. I'd like to make the pancakes for the kids this weekend.

Christine ~ Holy cow! All that hiking! It sounds so fun! Yes, you have come to the right check in? lol}( However, like Marietta, I question myself now. :)

Marietta ~ Thanks for all the e-mails about my foot/ankle! Thanks for encouraging me to get the ultrasound. I wish it were today. Have fun this weekend! I know you'll be busy.

Charlotte ~ I think that's awesome you're working out w/your dd and friend. What a great example!:)

Terri ~ Good luck w/the marathon! Is it all three?! I just did GS-Chest &Back yesterday and I'm definitely feeling it! }(

Susan ~ How are you feeling?

Today is a rest day for me! I have so much to do. My list is longer than my arm! ;-) My kids are doing a Disney count down, and it's stressing me out. ha ha! I feel like I don't have a lot of time. I know it'll all get done!
 
Good morning sexy ladies!!

I did Finding Your Core (someone said it should be finding your butt - and I agree - although it might be because mine in so darned sore from Power Strike 1 yesterday!) and I did the GS C&T Superset premix. I'm hoping this afternoon to do some spinning. Does anyone know if I can load mp3 files and have my CD player play them?

Lora - glad you got some sleep! Hopefully tonight will be even better.

Charlotte - I have such fun riding bikes with my kids! Enjoy the wonderful weather! We're having a bit of everything today - rain, hail, sun, sleet, and even possibly SNOW! (In San Jose?!?!)

Sabrina - Good luck with the house! That's sooo exciting! Sorry to hear about the rude parents. It's so frustrating to try to hear your child when other parents are just yapping away. Common courtesy is not a common any more. I did get my DD all signed up for her high school courses ;(. I can't believe my baby is going to high school!

Nicole - enjoy that Airdyne! I'll be riding today too, so I'll think of you!

Terri - good luck with the GS Marathon. I wanted to do it, but I'm heading for Maryland tomorrow to spend time with my dad. I'm going to bring BBBB and a 3 pound med ball (oh DH just shook his head at that! His comment "Don't you pack heavy enough without adding weights to your bag?!") and my Powerstrikes along with Hard Core Extreme (to use bits and pieces). I'll be back Wed.

Dallas - you're funny - enjoy your rest day (that's me tomorrow) and attack your list like a Cathe workout! *winks*
 
Hey you guys you are making my day:7

OMG Terri the previews scared the pants off of me!!! Glad you only paid a dollar:D Sooooo you are going to take the Shelley challenge?? That looks like fun!! I did GS legs today, and thought now if I did this 3 days a week that would really take care of my butt}(

Sabrina I think everything will go through:D Anything special you are going to treat yourself once the deal is done??

Dallas take a deep breath, and don't stress out to much!! You will get everything done:D You are going to have so much fun!!

Christine I know what you mean about finding your core (glutes :)) Doing the glutes on the stability ball really is killer.....

Rode my airdyne 7.5 miles and then did the leg workout, and boy that was a challenge.:eek:

Hey Marietta, and Susan:7

~Nicole
 
Afternoon ladies!

Nicole-The family wants to go to Disney in December. I thought that would be fun and we would also stay a week (7 nights) there. We are also talking of driving. Should be fun. I have never been and I want to go! LOL! Good workout!!

Christine-Glad you got your daughter all signed up for her classes. I bet it is going to be hard when the time comes for me too. My youngest has one more year at home with me and then he will be going to Kindergarten. Boo hoo!

Dallas-I imagine my kids will be doing the Disney count down when the time gets closer. lol! We have a long wait. We are going to the Dells again next month so that should hold them over for a little while.

Terri-Good luck tomorrow!! Don't wear yourself out too much today! lol Thanks for the info on the movie. I will make sure I don't go to see it. (like I go much anyway) haha

Well I am getting ready to meet my broker in the office in 40 minutes. I was hoping to get a call back from the guy I have to meet tonight but no luck so far. Darn.

Have a great afternoon ladies! The sun is actually out here for once! :)
