HATE - Feb 7

August

Cathlete
Morning, Haters!

I got up early to meet my friend for breakfast - the friend I spent an hour and a half looking for the restaurant he wanted to go to - the one where I became desperately famished and then downed a bunch of deep-fried crap, so in preparation for our breakfast out, I had a mini yogurt and apple breakfast before getting ready all sleepy and stuff...then twenty minutes before I were to leave he called to ask me if we could meet for lunch. x(

Thanks. LOL.

So then I was in limbo land - too sleepy to do anything, but had just eaten, so sleep and exercise were out........

And then to make matters worse, I realized today is leg day! Boo booo boooo! LOL.

So I did August's Gym Legs Faves (it's quite a short premix :+ ) and Winsor Pilates Buns & Thighs. Then I went to meet my friend and walked the 30 minutes to our meeting place (plus the 30 minutes back).

By the way, I did meet up with my friend for lunch. He wanted to go to yet another restaurant he remembered....this time we actually found the place but it was closed! Doh!

Robin - Woo hoo, you beat that virus's butt! I remember after my flu getting back into my rotation felt so great....Diane used to talk about Flylady a bunch back last year. Did you get all you needed to start up?...I think working in a cookie shop would be totally the end for me. To think of the freshly baked cookies all day....or like, Cinnabon or something. Oh man. That would be torture.

Dana - I hear you on compound exercises. I'm not much for them, either. It's like I get the worst of both things I'm doing. This week I'm doing all the S&H (except the Legs) split up throughout the week. I love S&H even though it forces me to sleep 20 hours in a day LOL.

Mariah - Welcome! If you like to lift heavy (I prefer it to lifting light), you'll love Slow & Heavy! I hope you'll be able to find a good deal on them somewhere...As for weirdness, there's plenty of it here (not personally speaking though ;) ), so feel free to let the weird out when you want...You could only do 44 minutes? That not short by any means! What are you talkin about?!...Holy cripe. You're around pancakes and syrup all day?! Hashed browns? Is there pie? OMG. How on earth do you do it? I would be in such trouble! You must have a will of steel.

Michele - I can't normal walk. I walk like a bullet. That's my normal. People laugh at me because I walk so fast. Somehow walking slowly totally irritates me! So when I speed walk, I must look ridiculous - like I'm late for one of the most important things in my life. What a bummer that must be to walk a long distance and have your calves bother you. Did that just suddenly start happening?...How's the snow coming down? Are you and DH snowed in for a nice romantic day off?...Yikes. That looks like a brownie. I'll bet it's good raw, too....Hey, no more throwing out garbage, woman. Stay indoors in your PJs and keep warm and safe!

Jen - Sounds like you were able to get a good Home Improvement Workout. How are you feeling?...You got me kind of interested in a crock pot. I wonder what it's called in Japanese LOL. I had a really hard time figuring out barley at the store! How is a crock pot different from a regular pot? If you don't cook much and recommend a crock pot, you might be talking directly to my heart. LOL....Hey, no going outdoors for you either, woman! Get better!

Diane - I'm kind of relieved I'm not the only one who doesn't know what Texas Sheet Cake is....Sorry to hear that DH won't be able to go with you to your first appointment. I'm sure he's disappointed, too. Well, there will be many cool things to do together in preparation to come!


Perverted cardio. Now there's an idea.


Terri - I'll keep my eyes open for your song. It will drive me nuts until I figure it out!....WOW, did you see Mariah's post with the lyrics?! She totally knows it!

Mariah - do you know the song that Terri is looking for? She'd like to know the title and performer.

>good news: it warmed up to 3 degrees ABOVE zero today!

LMAO.

Heather - Need you ask? I'm LOVING my Christi! LOVING! Did I mention LOVING! "Moister than a brownie" - oh myyyy. How could anything be better that that?!..P.S. LOVING!




All right. Have a nice one!
 
I'm just copying Mariah's comment here...don't mind me!

**********************************************************

good morning all
today im back to work so workouts are harder to fit in
and yes, i have to find a way to tape them from Fit tv so i can have them when i NEED them
for all of you who are freezing and snow bound i feel almost guilty to complain of how cold it is here in Daytona Fl Its 41 now and its 545 am im used to it being at least 65
stay warm every one and have a great day!!

Mariah

I've been checking out those lyrics to try to find Terri's song.....I can't tell you how many rap songs I've dug up with similar lyrics! :*
 
Goodmorning August and other haters.

LOL about being a bullet walker. No one can keep up with me either. I hate going sightseeing or shopping with my family. They are a bunch of dawdlers.

Terri, yeah, it's like a heat wave here at 5F this morning. I wish I could say I love changing up a room. I love when it's all done, but I hate to paint. Probably because it's not cardio. No matter how hard I try not to slop, I slop. I haven't been to the flooring store yet, so I'm not sure of any colors. The carpet has to hide dirt, since the bedroom is right inside the door we come in most of the time. I'm thinking something sand or tan, with a very pale green wall. Maybe a dark hunter green for the trim. Then a blue/green bedspread, curtains and area rugs. What do you think?

Heather, if you check here again, thanks for your calender post. It has inspired me and so far (yeah, it's early yet) I'm doing well this month.

Michele, we ended up getting a dusting of snow last night. Just enough to make it a slippery drive to work. Hard to believe, but all the other drivers were behaving this morning, so the drive to work wasn't bad.

Dana, did you get any of that snow last night? Is Gannon all better now?

Mariah, ahhhh, Florida sounds devine right now. I'm hoping to get away for a week there with my DH, but it won't be until May. He is a college instructor and can't get away until school is out.

I'm planning on doing SJ&P this afternoon. Check back with you all later.
 
Hey!!

I've read but can't play. I've been on the phone most of the morning and still have some business related calls I need to make--UGH! Anyway, I just wanted y'all to know I'm thinking of you and would rather play with you than do what I'm doing today ;) .

Diane, good luck at your appt and please let us know how it goes!!

See ya later:* :*
 
I'm on the phone...on hold...still on hold with that...that elevator music!...I hate this musicx( ...still holding...if I hear The Girl From Ipanema I'm hanging up:p
 
Hi everyone. I didn't have time to read up on the rest of yesterday's thread. I've been busy today.

Robin - yes we got snow and the roads were horrible this morning. It is so cold out. I"m thinking about telling Gabe to bag his CCD class tonight as I don't want to venture back out in it. How is Greyor feeling? I know you mentioned the other day that he was fussy. I hope he is ok - it seems everyone I talk with is sick right now.

Michele - hope you can catch up later today. How is the Feb rotation going thus far? Did you get much snow?

Mariela - did I spell that right? I've never even been to an IHOP before but I do LOVE pancakes. I guess after being around them everyday you get sick of them?

Diane - I can't wait to hear all about your appointment. Sorry that your hubby can't make it.

My workout last night consisted of Pure Strength Back, Biceps and abs. That workout is a breeze compared to the GS BBS. Ya know what bugs me about this PS w/o??? During the abs portions when you're doing obliques, it is off balance. One side you do 16 reps and the other side you do 24 reps??? My waist is going to be lopsided! HA!
If I stay home tonight I'm going to do the PS chest/triceps/shoulders OR cardio. I did get Cardio Fusion out just in case.

So far I'm doing good w/my eating. Hopefully I can stick with it. This check in has been a blessing.

I guess I better get back to work. I"ll try to catch up from yesterday's thread so I don't ignore anybody. :p

Hi to Terri, Arista, Jen and anyone else I may have missed!
 
I'm doing bad...VERY bad...I mean really REALLY bad. I did not do my workout yesterday, and not only that, I had cake yesterday and about 2/3 of a chocolate bar today:eek: }( ;(
 
OK Michele, put down the chocolate, pick up the dish liquid, and squirt the candy with a big dollop. Now, go get your workout clothes on and get on Eli and ride, baby, ride. There, now don't you feel better.

Dana, I'm with you in the eating better. So far so good. Greyor was better last night. Now his dad is catching a cold!
 
I have been a bad HATER! I didn't post yesterday... Oh well, back on the HATE-wagon.

You guys cracked me up with your posts!!

"Somehow walking slowly totally irritates me! So when I speed walk, I must look ridiculous - like I'm late for one of the most important things in my life." LMAO!! I'm the same way, I must look like a totally serious businesswoman who's just realized the biggest deal of her life is falling through. That's so funny - yet so true! I can't stand putt-putting around.

Mariah - Welcome!! We don't all hate cardio all the time... but I try my best to live up to the doctrine of hateville. Somehow, I decided I liked running, but I'm trying to overcome that. :p And weirdness is certainly welcome too. In fact, we might just want to write that into the doctrine of hateville.

IHOP?? OMG. Yeah, I'd be like 300 pounds if I worked there. But I'd probably get fired because I'd be eating all the time!

Another doctrine of hateville is that we must talk about our pets if we have any. I have two cats and two dogs, a husky and a lab/sheperd mix. My husky is currently forming a blanket at my feet. I'm a softie and will probably end up with two more animals by the end of the year.

Terri - 3 degrees, huh? definitely time for capris! Its about 40 degrees here in Spokane today. I think the warm spell the east was getting transfered itself over here and our subzero temps went to the midwest and east. 30 below though? That's serious yikes-ville.

Dana - "Ya know what bugs me about this PS w/o??? During the abs portions when you're doing obliques, it is off balance. One side you do 16 reps and the other side you do 24 reps??? My waist is going to be lopsided! HA!" That's so funny! I totally always count the reps when I'm doing workouts too. Then, when I do the workout again, I try to compensate by evening them out. We don't want lopsided abs!! Good job on your eating. I'm trying really hard to stay clean this month and wipe out these extra 10 pounds. Robin, I see you're working hard too. Lets do it girls!!

Michele - Don't worry about the chocolate... I like that dish soap idea! Very cool. Your elevator music comment made me lol. :) I hate that crap too.

August - I hate leg day too. My legs are pretty muscular already, so I really don't work them at all. They're plenty strong and big. Do you think that's bad that i don't work them? I mean they get a lot of work doing step, runnning, etc... and I just don't want them any bigger!! LOL

OK, I'll BBL ... I better get to work.

Hello to Diane, Jen, Robin, Heather, and everyone else!! I can't wait to hear about the ultrasound Diane. And Jen, it sounds like you're under the weather?? I hope you feel up to par soon.
 
I finally got back from my appt and...

WE HAVE A HEARTBEAT!!!

Everything looks good according to the doc. I saw the heartbeat and it was so cool. You could see the two chambers and it pumping, even though the whole baby is the size of a small bean. It measured at 5 weeks 5 days instead of 6 weeks 4 days, but she said the measurements at this point are not accurate (differences of .1 mm) so my due date stays the same - Sept. 29, 2007!!!

We got a few print outs of a picture of the little bean and already made some copies at Kinkos to give to my family. It sucks that I have to stay here late tonight, I wish I could just tell her right now!
 
Congratulations Diane!! That's so cool. That does suck about staying late... but the wait will make it even more special. Can't wait to hear about the "reveal". :)
 
Diane, that is great! Did you cry? The only ultrasound I had (this was a looooong time ago when they hardly ever did ultrasounds) was the day they planned to induce labor with my DS. And yes, I cried those old tears of joy.
 
Hi everybody!

I love this thread. It's by far my favorite one:)

I haven't seen my kitty all day:-(

Diane, congratulations!! That really is very cool. I wish you could post a picture of your ultrasound, and I wish I could see the look on your mom's face when you give her the news.

Dana, I'm afraid you're going to have to do 8 more exercises for the other side of your abs. We can't have you off kilter like that! Drop and give us 8 right now! LMAO

Arista, it's a good thing you checked in today or we'd have to hunt you down. I like your by-laws, or what ever you called them. I think you should be in charge of writing them up.

Robin, somehow I missed that Greyor was sick. I'm glad to know the little guy is feeling better today. --Dish soap on my chocolate? No way, baby!! I may just go and finish the last 1/3 of that bar:9

I did have a clean lunch -- a turkey sammich on this outrageously delicious bread -- 5 seed whole wheat:9, and an apple.

I'm slurping java and getting ready to take a brief nap and then a workout...for sure I'm doing a workout today...I promise...no really, I do...I will.
 
Congratulations Diane
Now the wonders begin and each month will bring you more reality

BooHoo Do I have to leave this group
I have no pets...
Oh! Wait, I just remembered, I think i still have a dust bunny in the corner of my bedroom.. OK i wont vacuum it up, ill let it stay and ill feed it and take good care of it so it can grow to be a big Dust Bunny
 
Thanks everyone! I am so excited still about seeing the heartbeat. I didn't cry, but teared up a bit. I was just so amazed for some reason that it looked like a real heartbeat. I am not sure what I expected it to look like :) I'm not sure how to put the ultrasound pic online. I don't have a scanner, and I only know how to make pdf documents with the scanner at work (plus I don't want to be exposing my ultrasound pic at work!).

Mariah - You cracked me up about the dust bunny. I have some of those two :)
 
Oh, and I have also already gained 2 lbs! That is a lot. I am only supposed to gain about 5 in the first trimester. But I think it is because I fell so far below my normal weight (4 lbs below) with ETL that maybe I am just going back to normal right now. So I am not counting it as baby weight yet!
 
Diane, I don't blame you for not wanting to scan your ultrasound picture at work...I have an idea...maybe you can take a picture of your ultrasound picture and then put it up on your picture trail. :D

OTOH, if you're not comfortable doing that, no one would blame you;)

I agree, the 2#'s is likely your body playing catch up with the weight you lost.

So, is everyone in Houston talking about that astronaut? That whole thing is so weird!! Do you think attempted murder charges are in order or is that piling on?

Mariah, dust bunnies count. Shoot, I have a whole litter of 'em--LMAO!
 
I will try taking a picture of the ultrasound tonight if I don't get home too late. It is shiny so hopefully there won't be too much glare.

Yes, everyone is talking about the crazy astronaut lady. All the morning radio stations had people calling in that knew her to talk about whether they thought she was crazy, nice, etc. I just can't believe the whole diaper thing. I heard that astronauts wear diapers during take off and landing, so that is probably where she got the idea (and the diaper may have even been government property!!). I think that attempted murder charge is in order considering she had a knife and tubing for binding and was disguised. The bb gun is just plan stupid. That is just so creepy.
