Hi Everyone,

This morning I did Imax 1 and modified some of the jumping on the rebounder followed by ME Abs. I think all of this loss of job stuff is getting to me physically. I did not feel as strong during the intervals today and had a hard time.

Work is just so strange with everyone off in a corner gossiping about you cuz you lost your job. I meet with HR this morning to see if there is anyone I can bump in the hospital that has less seniority than me. If there's a day-shift job open and I bump, I have to learn the job in 5 days. No pressure there (right). Anyway, I'd hate to learn something and then get bumped out of that when the cuts really begin.

Have great workouts everyone.

Diana Sue - Did you ever find your diamond?

Terri - Is your son doing okay?

Sabrina - Are you feeling better these days and out of your funk?

Hi to everyone else.
 
Hey Everyone,
Today I did KPC ran out of time, and had to cut it to 45min. This afternoon I *may* do some lower body workout of some kind??

Lora just listen to your body. Maybe you should take a nice rest day :D Where it's all about you:) Start out the day with a nice hot bath.:7 Just a thought ;) Good Luck to you in the future days!! I am sure something will come up:) Hang in there and don't let other people get you down!!


Well gotta go!!

Will try and get back later.

Good Morning...

I was going to do PS Back and whatever else is on that DVD but I ended up doing Leaner Legs...don't ask me how that happened (LOL). Actually, I woke up later than I should have and so I opted for Leaner Legs because I knew it would be more intense for the amount of time I had to work out. Yep...Leaner Legs! Good workout...

Lora - I would imagine the stress from you job loss would affect your workouts. Take it easy and like Nicole said...listen to your body.

Nicole - You're the early bird today!! You made it through most of KPC in 45 minutes...right? How is your sister these days?

Take care guys...have great workouts. I'll check back later...

Hi Lora and Nicole and Marietta-

I will be doing imax1, leaner legs and some abs today. Lora, I like what nicole said to you. Take a YOU day:) Marietta, that is funny you started off thining upper body wound up doing legs:) Sounds like me somedays!

I called my son twice yesterday and he was feeling better. Still sore and has a headache but better. Thank God! Just when I think I can relax my dad calls and he is in the hospital with chest pains. I swear this is starting to wear me down! They will release him today if his blood work looks ok. Maybe it isn't my son who is jinxed maybe it is me. You ladies sure you want to post with me? :)

Hello to all who come and Dallas I swear I will e-mail you today!

Terri
 
Hi guys,

I woke up with a cold! Yuk! Right now it's just a stuffy nose and a bit of a sore throat. Usually when I get sick, it goes right to my chest and stays...and it stays. I WILL not go to a doctor! I'll die first, or just die if I see one. hahaha I cant stand them.

So, I did PS Legs (for the floorwork I did the exercises standing w/3 lb. ankle weights), then I did L&G standing only premix. This took an hour and 45 minutes.

Lora, I agree with the others, maybe a rest day is needed for you. Once you get your thoughts together, you can start back up again.

Terri, Good to hear your son is getting better.

Nicole, I have KPC on my schedule for Thursday. I don't like to do cardio with a cold, so we'll see. According to the pregnancy calendar, my tendons and ligaments should start to aggravate me by then (don't you just LOVE what drs tell you?)

Marietta, I almost did LL this morning after PS Legs. I like the exercises in L&G much better though.

I'll check in later!
Susan
 
Morning Everyone!

I stayed up too late last night. I couldn't get up. I did get my work out in after I got the kids on the bus. I did GS - Back and shoulders and SM#2. The rotation called for LM step only and GS-back only and SM segment. I still have to do cardio. I wasn't feeling in a LM mood today, but maybe a run later.

Terri ~ Oh no! I am so sorry about your dad now. I'll keep your whole family in my prayers.

Lora ~ Can you take a few of your personal days? I think that you said you have some left. Maybe that will help break up the two weeks of agony? Hang in there. I like Nicole's advice too - take a YOU day.

Susan ~ You really don't like doctors, huh? Hope you feel better really soon!

Nicole ~ I posted in yesterday's thread about that insane rotation you saw on VF. :eek: Did you see it?

Marietta ~ Are you going to run at lunch? It's the perfect weather for me to run outside. Maybe I'll wait until dh gets home to run outside.

Sabrina ~ Are you packed for the CGT yet? I'm bummed! :( I am, however, excited about a night out with dh. We haven't decide if we're going to see the musical or the game? What a difference! He said the cheapest tickets are $900!! That's insane. He's looking into it today.

Hi Diane Sue ~ What have you been up to lately?

Have a great day everyone!

Dallas
 
I'm supposed to be working....shhhh!! Dont tell anybody...

Terri - Glad your son is better, but I'm sorry about your Dad. Hope he will be okay. Don't sweat all of the things that are going on...hang in there!!

Susan - So why do you hate doctors so much?? I just have to know...I hope you start to feel better soon. Great workout though!!

Dallas - I'm not running today although I would love to. I've put in about 12 miles over the last 2 days so I think I'm gonna go low impact and do the Elliptical today. I'll run tomorrow though...I know what you mean about Low-Max...sometimes I just don't feel it. I do like to do it the extended way and now that I've done it that way, it's hard for me to go back. Know what I mean??

I'll be back...you know I will.
 
Hi Everyone,

I just got back from HR. There are no day-turn jobs open...only evenings and afternoons and you have to work weekends and holidays. I don't think I'd be happy doing that. I have 48 hours to decide. I sent a note to my manager asking for this Friday and MOnday off, as I'm not allowed to take the last 2 days I work as Personal.

Do you ladies think I should call in sick once also, since I don't get paid for my 2 weeks of accrued sick time?
 
Hi ladies!

Lora-I think it stinks that you don't get your 2 weeks of sick time. Take some days off! I would. :7

Dallas-I am not packed yet. I need to get started on that though. I cannot wait for Saturday to get here. I have never ate at The Cheesecake Factory. Have you? What do you like from there if you have?

Terri-Glad your son is better and I am sorry to hear about your dad.

Susan-Sorry you have a cold. I hope you get better soon.

Hi Nicole, Marietta, and Diane Sue!!

I am cleaning the house today and tomorrow since I am having Bunko Wednesday night here. I have some cooking to get done tomorrow too. Busy busy!

I will try and check in again later. Have a great day!!
 
Hey Everyone,
Marietta I agree with Terri that is FUNNY that you were going to work your upper body and ended up working your lower I have been doing my day to day *whatever rotation*, and it is kinda of fun just to get up and do whatever :D I am making it a point to do cardio all through the week and doing wts in afternoon. Its a nice change of pace:7

Terri I am happy to hear your son is all right, but sorry to hear about your dad!! Gosh when it rains it pours :-( Take care and maybe you need to take a rest day as well. That kind of stress really does exhaust ones body. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Susan for the most part "NO" I don't like what Drs. tell me ha ha. I usually like to Dr. myself as well as the kids:D

Dallas I just looked and saw what you yesterday:7 I was looking for that post and I just can't find it:( Okay how many minutes is the PS series????

Sabrina it sounds like we will be doing the same thing today!! I really need to get to my house, but as you can see I am here:7


Take care,
~Nicole
 
Hey again,

Lora, take the days off. You've rightfully earned them.

Marietta, where to begin why I don't like/trust doctors. I have yet to take a medicine that has ever worked, let alone not give me a severe reaction. Another was by a dr. AND a specialist both said I have rheumatoid AND osteoarthritis and gave me a lifetime prescription of medication (when I was 22). Wrong!! Another wanted to x-ray my finger, when it was my knee. One of my favorites was when a db rolled off a weight bench and smashed my toe, blood was building so badly under the nail, the dr. had to pierce the nail with a hot needle....The word "WOOOPS" still ring in my ears... I could go on.

I've been reading some of my Burn the fat, feed the muscle book. It's really good. I'm only at Chapter 3.

Susan C.M.
 
Wow Susan....guess you have had some bad experiences with doctors. I kinda figured that but I didn't want to assume anything.

I have BFFM. I have had it for a very long time and haven't looked at it in forever. It's good reading though...enjoy!
 
Susan - I've worked in the medical field since 1980 and believe me, I hate doctors. I once worked for a Neurosurgeon (doing transcription) and it was scary the things he asked me to do for him. For a short while, he had me actually go in the the room during the exam and dictate the neuro exam into a recorder myself, as he didn't want to do it any more. I don't even think that's legal. He also taught me a LOT about the field and would tell me what sort of things I should look for that he was leaving out in his dictation and add them myself!!

The old Employee Health doctor at the last hospital I worked at was so old that when he gave me my flu shot, he placed the bandaid about 2 inches away from the injection site!!

I once worked for a Chiropractor that threatened to have his mafia buddy "bust my kneecaps" if I really quit on him (I had just served my 2 week notice). Needless to say that after the freak punched a hole in the wall next to my head, I left for lunch and never came back. He was on steriods. He was a bodybuilder.

ETA: My boss said she'd be here tomorrow -- so I probably won't be able to check in. She's going to ruin my hump day!!
