Morning Ladies -

This morning I did Mix It Up modifying the jogging on the rebounder for my toes/foot. I also did 10 minutes on the treadmill at the end. I wanted to go longer, but since I had to soak my feet for 20 minutes, I had to cut my workout short.

Diana Sue - That's some treadmill you got! Wow! Have fun with your new toy.

Terry - Did your Tear It Up workout come?

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? I have to go 2 places tomorrow and then go to work on Friday, so I'm not exactly looking forward to the Holiday. Also, being a vegetarian, I can't stand the smell or sight of meat.....especially Turkey and stuffing, yuk! I know most people like it, but I'm not one of them. As soon as my parents stopped forcing me to eat meat, I turned vegetarian. Too bad my husband had to bring home a box of chocolates for us last night, or I'd be doing good on my diet for Thanksgiving!!

Have great workouts everyone. I'll try to check in from work, although it's been really busy there!
 
Hi Lora and all to come :)

I did Tear it up yeaterday and reviewed it last night on yesterdays check-in. I want to add to that by saing I am not as sore in lower body as I am with the other two. I think once again the floor work is the reason in the other two or maybe it's all the different lunges at once in the other two. Tear it up seems to alternate between upper and body without as many reps.

I know some of you may be to busy to check-in tomorrow so I want to wish you all A Wonderful Thanksgiving!

I will be back in awhile to see how everyone is doing. Lora, I am sorry you didn't get Friday off.

Terri

ETA-Ok I have to be honest with you. My posts seem so impersonal and boring lately. II am just super tired and stressed from all the family issues and I worry about my dad. My brother and Mother haven't contacted me in over a week so maybe they are going toleave me alone for awhile. It is still sad and hard for me to deal with my folks after 50 years of marriage spitting up then my mom treatinf me like she does. I needed to vent so Thanks for listening. Thank God my son is normal at least :)
 
Hi everyone,

I took today off. I'll probably take from today through Monday off as well. I just don't want to chance hurting myself again.
I do feel significantly better than yesterday.

Dallas, check out this website: http://www.gadgetuniverse.com/
The only thing I've purchased from this company was the money clip/card holder for my dh. It's really nice.

Lora, I grew up on steak, pork chops and chicken....you name it! The day I moved out of the house, I didn't put a piece of animal in my mouth for over seven years. I still have a hard time eating meat. I can't eat anything pig. So, I know how you feel. Thank God for protein shakes, huh?

Terri, I'm so sorry about your parents. I was hoping to hear things would have been straightened out by now. I'm sure it's difficult, but try to stay positive.

I might head out to my parents tonight instead of tomorrow morning. They are going to be getting over a foot of snow, so I'd rather not drive through it if I don't have to...takes too long.

Hi to everyone else. I'll be back later.
Susan C.M.


ETA: I think Nicole, Lora and *maybe* Sabrina could use one of these neat things to hold lots of DVD's, CD's and VHS tapes.

Morning ladies

Lora-Sorry you have to work tomorrow. You should be out cathcing some good sales! My MIL wants to go out so the boys can pick out their Christmas presents. I hope it is not too much of a madhouse.

Terri-I am so sorry that your parents still don't have things straightened out. If you need to talk you can email me anytime. I am on here a lot. I have been to the post office. You should have the CD not later than Saturday I would think. I put in an envelope for the return and paid for the postage. No reason for you to do that.

Susan-I am glad you are taking it easy. Glad you are feeling better too. Be careful on the roads when you go to your parents' house.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi to everyone else!

I will check in later.
 
Good Morning All!

Today I did a 5.25 mile run on the treadmill. I was jamming to U2 so the time flew by!:7 I just love them! Then I did CM #3. I was just about to start a stretch and all three kids wanted breakfast. At least, I got the hard part out of the way. I'll do a SM segment before my shower. Did anyone see my post about Matthew McConaughey? }( What a hunk! hee hee!

Lora ~ We used to have to run around on the holidays, but that got hard when we started having babies. I remember not liking that either.

I probably could easily be a vegetarian. Meat has always grossed me out, but I still eat it for the protein. So, Susan maybe you could share some of your protein shakes.

Susan ~ Thanks for the link! Glad you're feeling better today. Taking a few days of is probably wise.:)

Terri ~ I am so sorry about your family situation. Hope you have an enjoyable holiday with your son and dad. You know we're here for you! ((((HUGS))))

Sabrina ~ Who are you going to see in January? Is the place just called Joe's? Will you be in town for just that night? Maybe I can drive over to Chicago?

Marietta ~ My dh is into electronic, fitness, household gadgets. I'll check out Susan's link.

Nicole ~ How's your little boy? Did you get all that laundry done? I'll be working on that while we decorate the tree downstairs.

Diane Sue ~ So, how many miles have you put on that treadmill?!

Have a great day everyone! I'll try and sneak back on here later.

Dallas
 
Dallas-It is just called Joe's (as far as I know). Billy Currington is going to be there. Oh baby! I think we are going to stay and shop on Saturday and drive home later in the day. It would be great if we could get together!

Good Morning!!!

How are my buddies today??

This morning I did a 3-mile run on my treadmill...I'll do something else later...haven't decided what.

I'm at home today, but I'm having to log in and do a little work today. My DD is leaving for her trip this evening so we'll go out to lunch and hang out a bit before she goes.

Lora - Glad you are still able to workout. I know the holidays can burn you out sometimes. I do like Turkey and Chicken breast...that's about the only meats that I eat and I only do that for protein purposes.

Dallas - That link the Susan posted looks great...might have to check it out myself!! Let me know if you find something for you husband.

Susan - Glad you feel better...it's very wise for you to take some days off. I am praying that you have safe drive to your parents and that you have a safe return as well.

Nicole - You crack me up!! You behave yourself...stop looking at other men!!! You are going to die when I say that I don't know the name but I probably know the face. I don't know anybody by name because I very rarely watch TV. I know...don't laugh!!

Sabrina - Girlfriend!! You are always doing something fun!! I love that!! Are you having dinner at your house on Thanksgiving??

Terri - I'm so sorry about everything you are going through right now. It's understandable that you don't have a lot to say right now. Trust me, I've been there...more times than I care to remember. Like you said, at least your son is sane and you guys seem to be very close...so that's definitely a bright spot in this. And...you still have your dad...just keep being there for him. You will continue to be in my prayers. If you need me...I'm only a phone call or email away...I mean that...

Diane Sue - Your treadmill does some really cool stuff!! I do have a TV/DVD/VCR I can "watch" while on mine...does that count for anything?? :)

If I don't get back here...HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Try not to eat too much!!

Marietta-Have fun at lunch and hanging out with DD! I have not done a whole lot in about 11 years. Everything I have done so far has been for my boys. Now I am trying to take some time for myself and live a little. LOL! I have a concert next Wednesday too (Nov 30). I am going to the Quad cities (Moline) to see Keith Urban. Oh baby!!! Maybe I will try to rush the stage. lol

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
 
Hi again,

Marietta, I also get my protein from eggs, cottage cheese and albacore. I also will sometimes eat a Boca burger. I know not very high in protein, but it's not a cow either.
You know, I don't watch tv either. I watch about 20 minutes of the news with my morning coffee. Otherwise that "box" is not even turned on. I decided though to pick ONE show so I would force myself to sit still for an hour. I chose Survivor. What makes me nuts is we have digital cable.

Dallas, I did hear about Matthew McConaghey. He is cute!

I'm jealous of the running you and Marietta do!! I was hoping to get a jogging stroller, but I probably wont. They cost a lot of mulla (not the man;)).

Sabrina, try to keep your clothes on if you make it up on stage! hahaha You'll have a blast! Who are you going with?




Susan C.M.
 
Susan-DH is going with me to both concerts that I have coming up. He told me he would help me push my way up to the stage. lol! I will try to keep my clothes on but I wont promise anything!! LOL!
 
Sabrina...That's so true...take time for you!

Susan - Running keeps me sane is this crazy world!! I know I watch the news or something on my treadmill or Cathe workouts. We have digital cable...my DH will watch though. Get the stroller...yes they are expensive, but you will get your moneys worth and when you are done with it...it will be so easy to sell...it will keep it's value. Sounds like something maybe you can put on your Christmas List?

I just finished IMAX 2 and Gymstyles Back and Shoulders.

I may rest tomorrow...we'll see.

Hey Everyone!

Sabrina ~ I'll check out that link. Sounds like a fun weekend you have planned. It would be great to get together.

Terri ~ i saw your review boy, you girls are making me wish I had that series.

Marietta ~ I think tomorrow I want to try that A-Jock mish-mosh. I'll get up before anyone gets up to get it all in. I know my dh will still go to the gym really early.

Susan ~ I always wanted one of those joggers too, but never got one.

Nicole ~ I sure hope you're not at the hospital right now!

Happy Early Thanksgiving everyone! I probably won't get back here the rest of the day and tomorrow. Don't eat too much! ;-) :9

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for all your kind words of support. I am trying to stay positive and you all help me:) Sabrina-I will keep my eyes out waiting for the cd so I can get it to the band. I see them on saturdays so if it comes then that is perfect!.

Nicole-Don't forget the 28th for the simpler life book :)

Terri
 
Thanks Terri!! I appreciate it!

Are you starting with day one again? I would like to try and join in. Maybe I can get some of the days in. Now I just have to figure out where I put the book. lol
 
Good afternoon everyone,
I have my grandchildren all here today. There is no school. I have them all set up with paints, brushes and watercolor paper and they are watching a one stroke painting DVD so they are occupied. My Dad is on his way here from Nebraska. He was sick this morning when he called so I hope he makes it ok as he is 80 now.
Todays workout was the treadmill, Cardio Coach vol.4, doing the last challenge twice, then cardio coach vol. 3 through the first challenge, S&H chest and back, GS shoulders and stretch.
Today I put 6 and 1/4 miles on the treadmill. My legs were so sore from yesterday that I did not put it on an incline like yesterday. Doing something different sure has me challenged:)I ordered one of the iFit workouts, but ordered it on CD instead of mp3 downloads.

Dallas I have put 13 miles on the treadmill since I got it set up.

Susan I could use one of those towers. I had to move all of the grandchildrens games and vids for my fitness dvd's and cd's. It sounds like you definitely need to take a break. Be careful.

Terri I am sorry your family situation is going like it is.

Marrietta when I had my old treadmill I used to tape television shows and wear my wireless headphones. It was so loud I needed the headphones to hear. But I still loved having the treadmill.

Marietta & Susan since dh has been gone I rarely turn on the television. I often wonder what I am paying for digital cable for. Sometimes when working out I will watch food network or check out the news. I do listen to the music stations and I watch charmed when I remember it is on.

Lora, I am having fun with my new toy and discovering other things to do with it. I can plug my mp3 player into the console and my headphones into the console so I don't have to wear it. I thought that was cool.

Nicole how are you doing? I hope your son is ok.

Hi Sabrina
Have a great day
