HATE - Feb 28

August

Cathlete
Good morning!

Well, it's the last day of February, can you even believe it?

And what have I done this morning? I've played in my village and I've read the posts. LOL.

It was cardio day today. What can I say.

But I'm going be back to my regular lifting and cardio schedules come tomorrow. I've got my rotation all set up and it's all written out so I have no choice! :*


Michele -

>I'm a bit distressed about that...just a bit

LMAO!

Okay. Tell me where the fat rotation is. I want to see what it looks like. I know I just said that I have my new rotation all ready, but....just tell me so I can see it.

What did I mix my protein powder with? Good ol'-fashioned water. It's actually pretty tasty even without frozen banana and spinach.....So, how are your stragglers today? I'll hope that there aren't any married ant couples...Weasel won't come until Sunday, so I have to keep the fake painting in my house until then, kind of a nuisance, but whatcha gonna do. Bells look like regular coins and have a very nice cling to them, of course!....The next time a friend forces you into a Thai restaurant, order Phad Thai. They are noodles and they're not spicy at all! Though I can't say they're the healthiest food out there.

Deb -

>I mean don't they hibernate or DIE or something when it's cold?

LMAO! Enjoy your last day before the P90X rotation!!!

Terri - Hey, I saw your rotation and your cute photo! You so do not look overweight at all. Did you decide to do the cardio in the morning fasted and the weights in the afternoon? Man, that sounds like a lot to do.

OMG!! Your SM's tonsil story was so freakin funny!!! I would have LOVED to have seen the intern's face!!

LMAO at you and your b-u-t-t-o-c-k-s.

Kara -

>if I go there when the "hot now" sign is lit, the lovely man behind the counter gives me extra GLAZED ones for free.

OMG. I'm literally speechless.

>Anyway, my DD is turning 9 in a couple of weeks and has asked for a Nintendo DS I am going to get Animal Crossing to go with it! Yea! I can't wait until she is at school and I can play it.

LMAOLMAO...L-M-A-O!!!

The one I play is called Animal Crossing : Wild World. (There's also an old version with a similar name, apparently.)

This is great! Well, once you're DD has played with it for a little and "misplaces" it and can't take it with her to school, get ready to have your character come visit my character in Tokyo! We can exchange codes and go to each other's houses via Wi-Fi!

Wait a minute, how old am I again?

Oooh, you other Haters are so going to want to get Animal Crossing LOL. I think there can be 4 characters visiting one village at once. FOUR. FOUR! LOL.

Oh yeah, cockroaches. And you know what they say about having one cockroach, right? Japan has TONS of cockroaches in the summer, and if you're not careful, they'll take over your home. That reminds me, if you don't play your Animal Crossing at least every couple days, your character's home will become infested with cockroaches, too. Course, that's never happened to me since this game has gotten me to flake on everything else in my life so I can be diligent to make my village as cool as can be.

Arista - Be afraid of Animal Crossing. It sounds so humdrum : your character fishes, catches bugs, plants and waters the flowers, shoots things in the sky with a sling-shot, hit rocks to find jackpots, collects and sells fruit, donates things to the museum, and runs errands to make money to pay back the house loans, and have a bank account.....hardly sounds like fun - and yet it is completely enthralling. It's not like a regular video game -there is no time pressure, it's more about relaxing and enjoying, and about designing the coolest village and house that you can, and just all-around peacefulness and cuteness. Particular events only happen once a week or month (there's a monthly flea-market, and a fishing contest, a fireworks festival etc), and there is so much you can do every day. You even teach the other residents in your village things to say. I have some of my residents greet me by yelling "POTATO!" It's a riot.

I'm simple. LOL.

You know, I bought mine in Japan, so I'm not sure how much the price is in the States. The Nintendo DS Lite is the newest hand-held model (that came out just before Wii, I think). It's not heavy, so you can take it with you anywhere so that it can conveniently eat up all your time both in and out of your home.


You guys need to stop asking me about Animal World. I don't want you to start to dread me. LOL.

Anyway, that's great that you can now rent workouts so you can try them out before buying. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your tooth simmers down soon....That's fantastic that you're getting so much out of those hypnosis CDs! And no, that does not sound like a ton of food.

>I am going to go have a small dish of low fat rocky road ice cream though, and its off to bed for me.

LMAO!

Congratulations to you on your new job. That's great to hear that you're enjoying it so much.

Dana - After you've played Animal Crossing a bunch, you have your character walk home and put her into bed so she can sleep and save all the things that happened on that day. Isn't that cuuuute? LOL. Or you can just be boring and push the save button. Once I spent over an hour arranging all my flowers just the way I wanted them, and I DROPPED my Nintendo. I'm sure I alarmed the construction workers upstairs when I screamed LOL. The data chip bounced out and all my village flowers scattered all over the place. It was horrifying. Now I save like every five minutes because I'm so scared LOL.

$6 a dozen for KK?!! I will bet you the Japanese price will be twice that much AT LEAST. Oh man, when will my schedule let up so I can go to KK? I mean, I haven't even been able to have a chance to make Mexican at home!! I have not been able to visit with Shred!

It sounds like you did most of KPC if not almost all of it, at any rate, you did do a lot of it. Yeah!...You'd think for the intern to learn, that someone would be there to watch him and teach him as he is checking things out. Geesh.

What a totally weird story about your friend and the date. Sounds like a bad Seinfeld or something.

Jen - I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling badly. Urgh, since Saturday? That totally sucks. I imagine you must be drinking lots of hot water. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a good night's sleep will prompt good morning action.

Robin -

>He said he had never seen a baby with RSV that was sick enough to need a ventilator, so I suggested he pay us for the education

LMAO!

Oh man, the thought of putting gym shoes on over huge heel blisters makes me shiver....How cute about your cat chewing on the palm tree sprouts!

Diane - Wow, your pregnancy is coming right along eh - wearing DH's pajamas! How fun and exciting!...Oh man, I cannot believe that they gave you a med student to try to do a pap. WTH?! That must have been horrible....That's great to hear that you are back to eating the way you want to and don't feel sick much anymore. Yes, do post new photos! We'd love to see them!




I SOOOOO need to work LMAO. :D

Later!
 
**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**WARNING**

**FABULOUS FOOD FIND ALERT**

DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT LEST YOU BE STUMBLED

I gave you fair warning;)

OMG!!! Today, I found...I'm not sure I should tell you...maybe I better not tell you...are you SURE you want to hear about this?...okay, but don't say I didn't warn you...

KING SIZE REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER EGG WITH DOUBLE THE PEANUT BUTTER:eek: :9 :eek: :9 :eek: :9 :eek: :9 ;( :9 :eek: ;( :9 :9 :9

Who's responsible for this? Who ever it is, I am going to hunt him down, and when I find him there will be he!! to pay!!}( :p

I'm doomed;(

Oh, and that's not all! I found a box of...you're not even going to believe this...BARLEY PASTA!! I'm not kidding; it's pasta made from a combination of durum wheat semolina and barley flour. Who'd a thunk it!? Did I buy it? Of course I did!

I need to read yesterday's thread to find out what y'all'er up to. I'll BB.:* I just needed to get ^^^ stuff off my chest.:7
 
HMF! HMF!

I'm not going to tell you what those letters stand for.

Thank goodness they don't have those here (they don't even sell the normal ones). I'd be in MAJOR trouble. MAJOR.

MAJOR.

LMAO about the barley pasta! I can't wait to hear how it is!
 
I'm pretty sure I know what that stands for -- ROTFLMAO!

I'll post a link to that rotation tomorrow, but now that I've seen Terri's, I'm thinking about doing hers.:D

I still haven't read yesterday's thread but I'll catch up after a little sleep.

I must go to bed now, I must. I'm so tired, but I'll be around to play after a good night's sleep.

August, promise me you won't stop talking about your village. I look forward to hearing about it everyday.:D

G'night:*
 
Goodmorning. Here is quick post before heading for work.

Jen, I hope your stomach is better today.

Terri, I love your picture. I'm waiting to see Cathe's March rotation, but if I don't like it, maybe I'll try yours. Way cool the Debbie gave you a thumbs up.

Diane, keep on growing that belly. I remember being so excited about buying maturnity clothes.

Michele, thanks so much for the warning. I wil try not to ever see those PB things.

August, you are seriously in danger of Overcuteitis. Between your daily computer animal cuties and your Nintendo village, you may find yourself in need of a crabby injection.

I have to get my hair done today. I was sure my appointment was this afternoon and had written it down in 3 places. Yesterday I got a phone call that my appointment was for yesterday! Fortunatley, they fit me in for a coloring today, but I won't be able to get a cut. Just my bangs trimmed. I wanted to be beautiful and glamorous for my workshop this weekend. I leave tomarrow afternoon for Annapolis.

Gotta get to work, so I'll try to check in later today. Today's workout will be Low Impact Circuit, if I get home in time. Later.
 
Michelle, You asked where in disney ill be going, with a almost 4 and a almost 2 year old ill go where they take me :)

Kara Where do you live.
When i lived in upstate NY we didnt have roaches but in the city we got used to roaches being a part of the environment, then I moved to an apt that had them totally Not There
I never missed them..

Dana
Too much about the friend date story. What did the friends say they must have been so embarrassed over their "friend"
I bet its the last time she hooks her up with anyone....


OK Im off in a few mins for my couple of days away cant wait
weather is supposed to be perfect so im wearing tank tops so that i can start a tan
I wont be exercising but hopefully the miles of walking and chasing kids and going on ride will count for something

have a great couple of days everyone
Everytime anyone lifts a few weights for the triceps think of me and do an extra one. Maybe but thoughts it will firm me up
 
Mariah: have a wonderful time at Disney!! I'll be thinking of you during round 2 of the snow storm; it's supposed to rival last weekend's storm-great!

Dana: Is that woman for real? C'mon, she's destined for singlehood forever.

Michele: Thank you for the compliment. I've been needing a good rotation with a lot of variety. I'm hoping this is it. Working out twice a day will be interesting. I did it yesterday with legs in the evening and it went just fine. Posting that rotation makes me feel like I'd better show some results! Needless to say, my diet needs to tighten up otherwise there will be results. So you HAD to bring up the Reese's King Peanut Butter Eggs - oh, the temptation!

August: thank you for the compliment as well. I think I know what HMF stands for...:) My thoughts exactly on the peanut butter! And yes, I'm doing cardio in the morning and then weights in the evening. Today, I did BM2 cardio only premix. It was short, but pretty intense. I rather enjoyed it...:+

Robin: It MUST be hair appointment week; DD's is this afternoon. Don't you hate it when you miss appointments? It takes FOREVER to get into my stylist. She's very good. Thank you, too, for the compliment.

Jen: Oh, to have stomach problems must be the worst and so uncomfortable. Are there certain foods that trigger IBS? I'll be emailing you later.

Terri
 
Good morning, haters!

August, I am in a panic now because my DD now thinks she wants CLOTHES for her birhday! Ack! I think I'll plan a *surprise* trip to the mall before her birthday, so I can still buy her the DS lite! I really want to visit with Oogi. :)

Michele, we have already gone through an entire bag of those blasted eggs!!!!! They are DH's favorite and he will continue to buy them until Easter. Between those and the evil GS cookies, I am doomed. Barley pasta sounds yummy. I made a burrito filling that had barley in it two weeks ago and it was great. I love barley!

Mariah, I live just south of Nashville. The cockroaches here are as big as the ones in FL, but not quite as aggressive. Did you know that those creatures can fly? I had one dive bomb my head in FL. Really. I ran screaming out of the house and called DH to come rescue me. :7

Jen, I hope you are feeling better today! Take it easy. :)

Arista, it is great that your new job is going well. I like lots of different music, but U2 will always be my one true love!

Hi to all that follow. I am off to work on a paper! Fun. Not so much.
 
Good morning!

I'm guzzling coffee while doing a little online shopping. I'm trying to find a belated 50th Bday present for my sister but all I've done so far is shop for myself:eek: :p . I just bought a couple more bunnies:+ .

HELP ME!! I've gone crazy buying Easter decorations--ROTFLMAO!

But these bunnies are soooo cute, and perfect for my house. They're chalkware cast from antique confectionery molds, then hand painted in 18th century costumes. How cute is this!?

http://www.williamsburgmarketplace.com/wcsstore/wmarket/images//hero_shot/52266_SP07_FC_hs.jpg

Okay, back to shopping...for my sister:D
 
Wow, so you guys all knew that HMF meant Help Me Friends!

LOL.

Michele - I guess you must have had a pretty good sleep! Have you found anything for your SISTER yet?

Robin - You know, now that you mention it, I do have all sorts of "cute" around me. It's strange because I'm such not the cute person. Maybe that's why I surround myself with cuteness. Hmm...A color and even just a bang trim will make all the difference for your trip, for sure. Maybe if you talk about your trip and how much you want to look new and nice, you can guilt them into doing a little extra. Anyway, have a safe and wonderful time!

Mariah - I would be in a panic watching over two small children at Disneyland. I'd probably have to handcuff them together and then tie them to me.

Terri - Are you planning to do your twice-a-day exercise rotation for a month? I'll be interested to hear how it goes. What kind of rotation were you doing before this one?

Kara - Oh no! What on earth would your daughter do with useless clothing?! Next thing she'll say is something crazy like that she wants to buy books or something! Or worse yet, something for school like sneakers or whatnot! If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask. Oogi and I will keep our fingers crossed for you.

In my old apartment, when I first moved in there were tons of cockroaches because nobody had been living in the place for a few months before I moved in. And they were so incredibly cocky. They wouldn't scutter at all. They'd leisurely walk across the room and look at me like I was in their way. It got to the point where I'd be out somewhere and if I saw any garbage or anything on the ground, I would immediately think it was a cockroach.


All right, I guess I should get to bed. I've got my meeting tomorrow so I'll need to leave early for it and probably won't be able to post until much later on in the evening.

Yes, tomorrow's meeting is the one near the donut shop. x( I'll be doing S&H shoulders and Winsor Buns&Thighs plus C&W abs before I indulge. I mean, before I leave.
 
<Wow, so you guys all knew that HMF meant Help Me Friends!>

HAH!! Boy, you sure had me fooled...I thought it was Have More Fun!

Yes, I am planning on twice-a-day...I'm doubting my ability to stick with it...which surely is setting myself up for failure.

Good night, August. See you at do-not shop. Thankfully, I don't care for do-nots. Because with this sweet tooth, I'd be in a world of hurt, more so than I am already!

Terri
 
ACK!! Cockroaches visit me every spring:eek: ;( .

All I've found for my sister thus far is a box of fancy schmancy chocolates. I still need something else. I'm thinking about an HRM but I dunno. What do y'all think of that idea?

Jen, my DS (dear sister) suffers terribly with IBS. It's a frequent topic of discussion between us. I know for a fact, though, that she doesn't drink near enough fluids and she's lacking in dietary fiber, too. I hope you find an answer for this. I know how painful it can be. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Kara, you love barley, too!? You're a perfect fit for the haters thread.:+ We're barley aficionados.

Terri, I worry about trying to manage 2 workouts a day, too. I have enough trouble doing one:eek: :D . I'm so easily sidetracked because, well, you know, I HATE IT!;)

August and all who are interested, here's the thread with the 16 week rotation I was talking about. Scroll down to the post by Mariah0803. She gives an updated version and supplies a link to the original.

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=6801&mesg_id=6801&page=#6832

August, I thought HMF meant Have More Fun, or Huge Muscular Females :D

Dana, I snorted coffee through my nose when I read about the blind date:7

Diane, it sounds like you had a lovely visit with your family. The little town where you grew up sounds charming. I love little towns with antique shops! --I'm glad you're feeling better again. :*

Arista, I'm so glad you like your new job! I need to look at your post again. My old brain is having trouble remembering all the posts I read from yesterday;(

Back to shopping!

Sleep tight, August:* :*
 
>>HAH!! Boy, you sure had me fooled...I thought it was Have More Fun!<<

Great minds think alike:7 (see my post ^^^ there).
 
I just joined Sparkpeople.com to track my food. I'm already up to 726 calories for the day and it's not even noon here...no wonder I can't lose weight!

Terri
 
Ooh, I love that site. What's your daily calorie allowance? I can't count calories -- it would send me over the edge -- presuming I haven't fallen off already.

Still haven't figured out what to get my sis.:(

The sun is shining again! I'm out of here:)
 
When I originally answered all the questions, it said between 1200-1600 calories. 1200 is just too low when doing Cathe and other intense workouts. I changed it to 1500-1700, higher end for workout days, lower end for non-workout days. I have to plug in my salad that I just ate, so we'll see what I have left. Not much, I'm sure.

We're in the "calm before the storm" the sun is shining and it's 35 degrees. Schools in the west are already closing from the impending snow. New estimates could be as much as 2'.
 
Good afternoon haters!

Terri - be warned - you are going to get a bazillion e-mails from sparkspeople every day. They drive me nuts and I delete every single one of them. Seriously, they send me like 15 a day!!! Good luck on your rotation. Are you starting that tomorrow? I used to work out 3x/day. That was about 3 years ago, before I had Gannon. I would do 20 min elliptical and abs in the morning, then I would walk 3.5 miles at lunch and then I would do weights at night. I was happy with the results but I don't have that kind of time know w/2 kiddos. You look great by the way! And your tonsil story, that is hilarious!!!

Arista - hey! Sorry to hear that you are having car and teeth problems. I hate when that happens. You think you are getting ahead and then all these things come your way and you need to shovel out more money! What kind of music do I like? I like all kinds. But I'm mainly a rocker chick - ha! I love Korn, Disturbed, my fave is Puddle of Mudd. I also love alternative stuff too like My Chemical Romance, Janes Addiction and NIN. I like hiphop and rap (but not the hard core stuff) and I like some top 40's like Nellie Furtado. And I just love the 80's hairband music - so many meomories of my youth!! But, my all time favorite is *don't tell anyone* Boy George. I just love him to death. I know, I'm a freak!

Michele - OMG those pb eggs sound wonderful. I am going to have to look for them for my, ahem I mean my boys Easter Baskets. I love that figurine you got. Kinda looks like the old Beatrix Potter stuff. Very nice.

Robin - hopefully they can give you a cut too. I mean, you deserve it. They need to take into consideration how crazy your life has been lately and if you forgot an appointment, oh well. When are you leaving for your trip?

Mariah - have a wonderful visit with your family. You're gonna need another vacation after spending a few days with 2 little ones.

Kara - you love Barley???? Well what a coincedence. Every hater loves barley! HA!

August - you make that game sound so tempting. I will not give in to it though. Ya think I don't get nothing done as it is, well if I had that game, I would really be in trouble. So how many donuts did you end up eating????

Jen - how is your stomach? Is it a bug do you think or something else?

Diane - I'm glad you had such a nice visit with your family.

My workout was 30 min interval on the elliptical and CoreMax #3. I only worked a 1/2 day today. I have to leave in a bit to go to Gabe's parent/teacher conference. Then back in to get Gannon at daycare, back home and then back out again. Sheesh, I'm gonna need to get gas. I was planning on getting some stuff done for our taxes but I came here instead. Uh-oh.

I'm going to get my breadmaker ready for a loaf and then I'm out the door.

Talk to you all later! :+
 
Well, I had the meaning of HMF totally wrong. I'm glad you guys straightened me out. I'm ROFLOL at August's cocky roaches. I suggest you folks with cockroaches hit them with your irons. Oh, sorry, I have my threads confused again.

Terri, what on earth do you have for breakfast to be up to over 700 calories before noon? Or is that breakfast and an early lunch?
 
Terri, that doesn't seem like enough calories to me -- really, it doesn't, especially when you'll be doing 2 Cathe workouts everyday. I seem to recall someone in the <--- thread who had been on weight watchers and she had to increase her points to accommodate the advanced exercise. Her body was going into starvation mode and she was actually gaining weight until she increased her calories. At least it's something to bear in mind.

I haven't checked lately, but I think we're supposed to get more RAIN;(

Dana, how do you do intervals on your elliptical? Do you have any audio programs? Aside from Cardio Coach, I sometimes like to put in a Cathe DVD while I'm on the elliptical. It helps me to focus and it pushes me to work harder than I would otherwise.

Arista, that's what I forgot...the double whammy. Whoever said when it rains it pours, really knew what they were talking about. Isn't that how it always goes? Hang in there because this, too, shall pass.

Robin, so what did you think HMF meant? }(
