Morning Ladies -

This morning my rotation called for an "active rest day" with some light cardio or walking. I had every intention of doing lower intensity aerobics, but since I grabbed my TurboJam Live DVD, it was impossible to keep the intensity down. I really can get my heart rate up with Turbo Jam...more so even than with most of Cathe's kickboxing. I had it in the 150's and 160's....so it was a short intense workout.

I have to work the early shift today, as I have a doctor appointment.

By the way - if I don't check in one day soon --- my computer is on it's last leg and I have to go see about getting a new hard drive this weekend....so if it dies.....I won't be around for a while.

Have great workouts.
 
Morning ladies!

Lora-Good luck at your doctors appointment. I hope things turn out ok. You have to get your computer fixed, if you don't we will miss you!!

Well I managed to get DS8 to school today but DS10 decided his stomach was upset this morning. (I think he is faking) I believe someone was getting too much attention and someone else wanted in on it. lol DS8 was able to go back to school but he can't take PE and he can't go outside. I hope that is followed since he has a sub this morning.

How are all you lovely ladies today?

I will be back later!
 
Good morning! I'll cross my fingers that your computer doesn't lose it's last leg before you get a new hard drive :). This afternoon is my big interview. Currently, I'm a selling manager in a department store. Today I'm interviewing for an HR Manager position with the same company. IF I get the job, it will require a 90 mile move. It would definitely be a huge change in my life, but I'm trying to NOT think about those things just yet---really need to focus on the interview. If it goes well, great, and if not, then I truly believe it wasn't the right move in my life. I can only do my best!

Need something intense this morning to release some tension. The plan is IMAX3 and Core Max...maybe I'll throw in some weight work tonight, depending upon when I get home.


Have a great one!!
 
Hello Ladies,

Well in case you didn't see I posted late yesterday evening that I indeed did another workout. I didn't think I was going to be able to. Anyway today I am almost back to my healthy self anf I look forward to muscle max and a run. I may even fit a SS workout in tonight. I have missed those trying to play catch up with the rotation and being sick.

Sabrina-does this mean your son will get to have his party tomorrow? I sure hope he can. How did things turn out with the lot that people called about?
Lora-Let us know what the Dr. says.

Ok I will check back in after some of you others get here. I can't believe I beat you here!

Terri
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!

This morning I did an interval run on my treadmill and then Muscle Max. I'll probably do the elliptical at lunch and some chest work.

Lora - I was having problems with my home PC...we had this guy work it and now it purrs like a kitten...that dude is the bomb! We are having him work on our kids PC too! Hope yours doesn't die on before you get your new hard drive.

Sabrina - I think you should just have something small for him if he's still sick and have a party for him when he get's better. I'm not very creative, I just used to let my kids tell me what they wanted to do on their birthdays and tried to come as close as possible what they were hoping for. Hope you DS get's better...

Diane Sue - The PE you did with you grandkids sounds fun. Kids these days are not nearly active enough...I bow down to you for the role you are playing in their lives.

Nicole - Did you get some reading in last night?

Dallas - I'll bet you have some good party ideas for Sabrina...you are the Party queen after all!!

Terri - I see you got your workouts in yesterday...are you feeling better today?

Lisa - Hi! Let us know how the interview goes!!


I'll be back later...

Hey Everyone,
Today is my REST day:D I think it was a really cool idea of Tracie to plan a Challenge the day before rest day. My body is sore :eek:

Marietta yes I did get a 20 min/5miles. ride in, but I did not work that hard at it. By that time my body was screaming at me to take it easy :) I got my hr 130-140's, but mainly 130's:( Does that make a difference?? Usually when I ride I keep it up 140-160's the whole time.

Lora my computer is slower than molasses:D

Lisa Good Luck with the interview!! I hope you get the job :D

Sabrina have fun with your son today:7 Those days when they stay home are the best.:D They love having that one on one.

Diane Sue those Grandkids of yours are keeping you young!!

Hello Terri, Susan, Dallas :D

Good Afternoon Everyone!

My, my it's been busy here. I got the results from my cholesterol screening yesterday and it's down to 195. My LDL went down to 115 from 200 and my HDL is at 75. My triglycerides are at 29. The doctor was quite pleased. Considering I was close to 300 three months ago. We talked about diet options. I told him I was considering going vegetarian, but I won't bore you with those details. Darn family genes!:-(

Today I did a 5 mile run on the treadmill. I felt a little something on the top part of my foot at .25 miles. I stopped and stretched and got back on and all was good!!! I walked the last .25 trying that glute gliding (Is that what they called it?) from the Oxygen magazine. ;-) I'll see if my glutes are sore tomorrow. ha ha! I'd still like to squeeze some weights in today.

That pilates teacher last night is EVIL! ha ha! She even had that little laugh that Cathe has during GSL floor work! lol She used the green band in last night's class. My upper body is feeling it today! }( I really like that class.

Sabrina ~ You need party ideas? E-mail me, I'll try and get back to you sooner than the last e-mail. BTW, you're pix look great. That is a very elegant dress.

Marietta ~ I won't vent about that dr here, but I'll e-mail you what I really wanted to say. ha ha

Nicole ~ Enjoy your rest day! Yes, tell me what your dad finds out about his cholesterol.

Terri ~ Which SS are you going to do? I really want to get to either TearIU or ToneIU. Maybe tomorrow. Glad you're feeling better!

Diane Sue ~ That book sounds interesting. I'll be at the library later, maybe I'll check it out. I'm ready for spring. What time does class start...we'll be there! lol

Lisa ~ Good luck on the interview. Have a great workout too. I love Imax 3!

Lora ~ Oh no, your computer! My dh is a computer wiz. He keeps everything running smoothly over here. I wish he could help you.

Hi Susan!

I'll check back later..I hope!

Dallas
 
Afternoon ladies!

Terri-So far it looks like my son will be able to have his party tomorrow. We don't do too much, we just have family over and have ice cream and cake. I am glad you are feeling almost back to your normal self. lol

Lisa-How did the interview go??

Marietta-You amaze me with all the working out you get in. I wish I could get in half of what you do. lol

Nicole-Sorry your body is sore. I just wish my oldest would have just told me wanted to stay home rather than play the sick routine with me. It would have been a lot less stressful. lol Have a nice rest day!

Dallas-That is great that your cholesterol is down! Woo hoo! Good for you. Glad you enjoyed your class. Sometimes I think it would be nice to take a class somewhere. I don't think there is much here at the Y. Thank you for the compliment on my dress. My Dh was having fun taking my picture and of course I hated it. lol

Lora-How is work? Is your boss being a bully??

Diane Sue-How are your grandkids?

Susan-"HI" if you are lurking out there somewhere!! How is that beautiful boy?? How are you? Are you getting some rest?

I will be back later!
 
Good afternoon,
Todays workout was iFIT Red Rock treadmill with add on hills to 5 miles, P90X Arms and Shoulders, Ab ripper X and Bowflex 125 Kneeling cable crunches and 130 seated resisted crunches. I have just completed the first 3 weeks. I am not real sure about the recovery week just before I go on vacation. I am looking at this and thinking if I just want to add on some weight days or go to the next weight section and do the recovery when I come back. I will check back later as I have an eye appointment this afternoon.

Hi to everyone

hey ladies...

I haven't worked out yet...I've been in way to many meetings for one day. It will probably be a couple of hours before I can manage to get away. I didn't realize how my mid-day workouts help to get me through the day.

Sabrina - I do work out a lot, but for the most part it doesn't interfere with my home life because in the mornings everyone is asleep and in the afternoons I'm at work. About the only time it interferes is when I teach classes after work because it causes me to get home a little late. I haven't been teaching any evening classes during the week lately...just Saturday mornings.

Nicole - Sounds like an excellent day to rest!!

Terri - What did you end up doing today??

Lisa - Your attitude is great about the position and that is exactly how it should be...let us know!! I love IMAX 3 too!! Everybody is probably tired of hearing me say that...I say it everytime I get a chance!!

Dallas - That is awesome on your cholesterol!! Are you really thinking about going vegetarian??

Gotta go get ready for ANOTHER meeting...

Check ya later!!
 
Hi everyone,

I thought I'd pop in while there is ONE moment of silence right now.
My little guy likes to sleep during the day and wake up around 10:30 pm. It's tough. While I was at the hospital, they kept coming in my room throughout the night to check something or feed the baby. I never got two solid hours straight of sleep. Now, it's even worse.
Last night I almost lost it(not in anger, but just thinking *how* am I going to do this). My husband has been gone since Monday and will be home late Friday night and off again very early next Monday. I'm still in a lot of pain and getting ds off to school and keeping up with laundry etc. My eyes are sooooo puffy from lack of sleep. I'm hoping to catch up this weekend.
Sorry to gripe. I do still like to read what you are all doing each day.
It looks like no new updates from Cathe. I hope to read something soon.


Susan C.M.
 
Awww Susan! I hope you get some rest soon. You need it. If I lived closer I would love to come and help you. Is there anyone helping you?
 
Hi Susan!

I knew it would probably be kind of rough for you...I sure do wish there was something I could do to help.

Just hang in there...we are here for you when you need to vent get stuff off your chest.

We got your back!!!! Take care...

Hi Ladies,

Susan-So nice to hear from you:) I hope things with the baby etc get better soon and you can get some rest.

Ok I still am going to try a ss workout tonight. Todays workout went well so I think I am up for it. Marietta, did you get any more in today?

Nicole-How was your rest day?
Sabrina-I am glad your son gets to have his party.
Dallas-I am not sure what SS I will do. I am thinking FIU or BIU
Lora-What did the doctor say?
Lisa-Did you hear about the job yet?
Diane Sue-How is your day going?

I will be around later!

Terri
 
Good afternoon everyone. I just got back from my interviews. I spoke with two people today, and if they both give a thumbs up, then I'll need to interview wtih the manager of the store where I would be working. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Terri--glad to hear that you're feeling better
Sabrina--hope your son is able to enjoy whatever it is you decide for his birthday
Dallas--great job getting your cholesterol down. keep us posted
Susan--don't worry about "griping" (and I don't think it's actually griping). You need a place to vent. Sorry to hear it's been so rough for you. Wish I had some advice, but I've never been in that position.
