Morning Ladies -

I was sick last night with the chills and a sore throat. I took Advil and couldn't get the chills to go away for nothing. I woke up and still felt crappy, but I took my temp and I don't think I have one (but I didn't leave the thermometer in very long - inpatient). I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party II but I kept my intensity down just a bit.

I wish I didn't have so much to do at work, or I'd call off. I took the time last week to organize my desk and office and go thru everything and now my work is behind. My boss is coming back today also. This sucks being sick and having to go to work and be stressed out. I also started and who knows how many times that will happen this month.....I hope it's not twice again. I can't take the migraines (which I had yesterday and today). Did I complain enough?

Have great workouts everyone.

Marietta - glad to be of help for your problem. I hope you can control it with the meds and watching your meals. The attacks are no fun and I've had some last for a week or so.
 
Morning Ladies!

Lora-I hope you get to feeling better soon. Take it easy!

I have to go find yesterdays thread and see what everyone is up to. I had class last night and never made it back here. It was a long night. I have a lot of reading to do this week since we have class three days. I am hearing more stories about people not passing the test in Springfield the first time (not what I want to hear). I need to study study study!! lol I will get a break tomorrow night though since I have a concert in Moline to go to (about 2 hours from here). I am going to see Keith Urban!!

How was everyone's evening?

I will be back!

ETA: Susan-Have not heard from you in a while. Are you ok?
 
Good Morning!!

This morning I did about 4-miles on my treadmill. I was gonna work shoulders but didn't have time. I'll do them on my lunch break today...

I had a nice evening...usually my Monday nights are pretty hectic, but last night that was not the case.

Lora - Sounds like you had a rough night and it sounds like today won't be that great either. Hang in there...

Sabrina - Don't get intimidated by the stories you hear. All you can do is study and give it your best...Just think positive thoughts...YOU WILL PASS!!!

Terri - The Limited is where I get most of my Jeans. I have gotten them from Express in the past, but not lately.

Nicole - Is you son better now??

Dallas - What amazing physical act will you acccomplish today?? Your workouts have been awesome! You've been very creative...

Diane Sue - I guess this Acid Reflux thing is more common than I thought. Glad you are having such fun on your treadmill.

Susan - Are you back yet? How was you trip??

I'm really glad that I have you guys to talk to daily...Just wanted you all to know that. You have a very special place in my heart.

I'll be back later...

Hi Ladies,

First I want to say I read your post from yesterday Marietta and OH my! I am so glad you are feeling better. Try not to worry as maybe it was just a one time fluke of a 24 hour bug. Hang in there and we are so glad we have YOU to talk to daily:)

Lora-I am sorry you are sick and have to go to work. I hope all will be better soon.
Sabrina-YOU WILL PASS! :)
Dallas-I would love to see all your pics of both trees:)
Susan-Yes how did the trip go?
Diane Sue-I dream of your treadmill :)
Nicole-What are we going to do from the book?

Ok I got mix it up in the mail yesterday. I lreally enjoyed doing it. I like the cross over lunges(stop cringing nicole:) )and wish she did more. I also like the ab work and the heavier weights in this one and of course the bands! All in all the SS has done great things for my lower body. Like nicole I notice a difference in hips and thighs. Not that they were BIG before but I wanted them smaller and more toned:) I have had to go buy smaller pants since doing these workouts. Yes they are very repetitive at times but they flow quick IMO. So besides the stretch one I think I am just missing one from the set. So off to ebay I go to try and find it :)

Today I will do Shape it up and a run. ALso turbo jam abs that I still havent done! Oh and Gymstyle C&T.

Terri
 
Hi everyone,

We had a really nice Thanksgiving weekend. I didn't do a whole lot, mostly hanging around my parent's house. I did purchase a new gas fireplace for our family room. We have a real fireplace in the living room, but it seems congruous to have both.

Boy, did I take a lot of exercise time off! I started back today, from my SIX days off. Today I did ME. The step-ups are becoming more challenging. I had to take yet again, another riser off to keep at Cathe's pace.

I now have to work on my December rotation. I think I'm not going to continue getting up at 4am, and cut back to just ONE workout per day. So, no more 75-110 minute workouts for a little while. I'm so tired in the morning.

What's everyone doing for their December rotation?

Lora, sorry you're sick. It's hard to be at work when you're not feeling well and have to get a lot done. Hey, any updates on Tracy Longs new series?

Marietta, wow, I'm glad you're feeling better! That must have been scary getting that sick.

Terri, I'm glad you and your son had a nice Thanksgiving together.

Sabrina, I've heard those tests are difficult. I know of two people who did not pass the first time. Luckily, you get do-overs. I'm sure you'll do fine.

Dallas, You've been workin' your little buns off lately! Good for you!

Nicole, I'm so sorry to hear your son was ill. :( How is he now?
I ordered the 30-Day to a Simpler Life book from my library. It should arrive any day now! I'm also still waiting for my Slim Series DVD. I forget the name of the one I ordered. hahahaha Firm it up??

I have to go back again and re-read our check-in's. I'm afraid I missed something.

I was so hoping to come back with a "We're Filming" announcment from Cathe....oh well.


Susan C.M.
 
Hey Susan, Welcome Back!!!! Glad you got some rest in. I think cuting back for you now is a good idea.

Let us know when you get your book!

Terri
 
Susan-Glad you had a nice time. I wish I had a fireplace. I love to sit in front of them and get all nice and warm.

Terri& Nicole-have you started the book?

Terri-isn't it nice to have to go and buy new jeans because the others are too big! What a great feeling!

Marietta-glad you are doing better. So sorry you were so sick!!

Dallas-I would love to see some pictures too! Are you still so busy?

Lora-How are you feeling this afternoon?

I am trying not to let the stories get to me but it is hard. I just keep trying to read and answer the end of chapter questions. I am having a hard time concentrating though.

I will be back later. I am hoping to maybe get on the treadmill later while I watch the Biggest Loser. I thought I could at least walk for a while. Better than nothing I guess. :) Is anyone else watching?
 
Good Afternoon Everyone!

Today I did Imax 2 and abs from CTX. I wanted to do all the segments, but my DVD or DVD player was acting weird, so I just did two.

I'm sorry to hear how sick you are Lora AND that you have to go to work!! :-( I hope you get some rest after work.

Susan ~ That's my plan - ha ha - "to work my butt off" LOL! I ate OK on Thanksgiving, but not the next day for some reason. Oh well, back on track, so it's OK. ETA: Two fireplaces in one room? That must be a huge room.

Marietta ~ I'm so glad you're feeling better now. Hopefully, it was a one time thing like Terri said. You know I feel terrible when I don't keep it clean. It's so hard on the holidays though. Marietta, I feel the same way about all of you too!! Not to get all mushy on you! ha ha! Big ((((hugs))))!!!! ETA: Me "creative"? Thank you, I'm flattered you think so.

Terri ~ I want to see your beautiful tree. I have the tree up my in-laws gave us, but the decorations haven't come yet. My ds2 took the description "chocolate tree" literally. He licked the tree! LOL! I asked him how it tasted! hee hee

Nicole ~ How is your son? My ds2 has kept me quite busy today. He's definitely fighting something and has been in my lap or arms all day. Poor kid. Makes it hard to type! :p Thus, the late check in.

Sabrina ~ You'll pass! You've been working so hard from reading all your posts. Have fun at the Keith Urban concert!

Diane Sue ~ Did your dh get his packages yet? I know when I sent my brother packages in Iraq it took FOREVER.

Have a great (rest) of the day everyone! I'll try to get back here later.

Dallas

PS: Did anyone see the Oprah when she had Heather Small who sings, "Proud" on the show? I liked her message at the end of the show. "What have you done today to make you feel proud?" She said to ask yourself that each day and keep a journal. Isn't that great? I love my Tivo and treadmill that's when I get to catch up on shows!
 
Hi again,

Lora, thanks for the detailed info. on acid reflux. My dh recently started taking Nexium. For quite some time he was clearing his throat a lot and a maybe a hard cough. I don't believe he takes it every day, but it's stopped all his raket. hahaha

Dallas, no, no, no... silly girl.;) I have a real (wood burning) fireplace in my Living room (upstairs) and I bought a gas fireplace for the Family room, downstairs. It will be nice when we come inside from using the hot tub.
Oh, I meant to tell you, that tree your in-laws got you is beautiful!

Right now I like the looks of Cathe's Jump, Pump, Stretch rotation. I'll try to work on it tonight.

Susan ~ Ha ha! You never know though. Some of the houses in my neighborhood have double fireplaces. We have only used our fireplaces once. That's a shame, but I worry about putting them on with my little guy right now. Ours are both gas, but I would love to have one where we use real wood. I have fond memories sitting by my grandparent's as a child.

I'm glad you're modifying your workouts. :)

Homework time!

Dallas
 
Dallas-I'll take the fireplace if you're not going to use it!! :p What homework are you doing tonight? Looks like we have some spelling words here and a AR book to read. He is reading the third Harry Potter book and he is only in 3rd grade (it is in his reading level and he gets to choose his books to take tests on). I am so proud! My older boy never seems to have any homework. I guess I would worry more if he didn't bring home A's on his last report card. lol
 
The world is coming to an end!!!

Just kidding! My MIL offered to have the boys (the older two)stay over for a night!! She has only done this once years ago and complained about it for months. The boys didn't want to go to bed and then they got up early. They called us at 7:00 that next morning wanting to know when we were picking them up. lol! :D
 
Good afternoon
I am feeling kind of crummy today. I went to bed early last night. I still worked out, but decided not to use the treadmill. I did KPC,S&H triceps and biceps, then KPC abs and S&H abs and st. I have been taking extra vitaminC and aspirin since last night. I went and bought vitamins today as well since I ran out a week ago and hadn't replaced them. I would think it might have to do with the flu shot I had 10 days ago, but have had grandchildren that have been sick. Hopefully it gets better as I have Friday and Saturday plans with my Grandchildren. I bought Sky High and games to play.

Lora, I hope you get to feeling better. To bad you have to work sick.

Dallas, DH has recieved 3 of the boxes I have sent so far. I mailed another yesterday. One box only took 8 days. Funny sometimes it takes 6-8 weeks. I rarely get packages that fast here in the states. The grandchildren made ornaments with their pics and we sent him a small tree which he already has.
