Good morning everyone
Wow August is back and hasnt posted,,,she prob was so exhausted last nite that she crashed without writing to us..

I need motivation.. I stopped exercising last weekend cause i had company all weekend and havent started back again. I loved when it was a committed routine that I at least did something, no matter how much time I had..
So tell me your stories gals, get me back on track...


so cute. I worked with a gal from Russia last summer and she writes from time to time. she just wrote me a "annoyed at me" email. saying what is wrong with Americans that we are so lazy that we dont write the sweet Russian girl. about EVERYTHING that goes on in IHOP
LOL Im bringing that to work and telling everyone they have to jot a few lines so i can write her back tonite telling her how everyone is doing..
ARISTA I need to know how your diet is going and how wedding plans are going.. You are not fair to let us in on your life then run away

Diane
Do you have any names picked out yet??
well i better get moving to work. See you all this afternoon

By the way, are any of you on any Yahoo Groups OMG Yahoo is sending 2-3-4 and sometimes 6-7 copies of everything
my mail over-floweth
 
Good morning Mariah. No time for chat this morning but was stopping in to see if Arista had magically appeared last night, I see she didn't. I have been consistent with my working out but my eating has been bad, I haven't been eating anything really bad but just more than I should be, very hungry lately. So, I am not one to give motivation advice right now!!

Michelle- Let us know if you hear back from the e-mail you sent her.

Okay, hello to everyone & I'll be back later tonight after work and Powerstrike 1 & 30 min hip,thigh,butt w/o.

Later haters!
 
Just checking in quickly too. I"ve got a fax to send and then on to the folding. Blech!

No Arista??? Michele I hope you hear back from her.

No workout again yesterday. :-( I did walk 7 miles but I never really consider that a workout. I love walking so to me it isn't really working out.

I'll check back with you all later.

Mariah - tell your friend from Russia that not all Americans are lazy, just busy! HA!

Have a nice day ladies!
 
Good morning Mariah, Jen, Dana, and all!

I've decided that I'm lazy and I'm trying to fix it. I made a list last night of everything I want to accomplish today and I'm not going to bed tonight until every single item on that list has been checked off. I wonder if making lists helps? I'll let you know:p

I'm doing a Cardio Coach workout today. I need a workout I can enjoy. I've done 3 step workouts in the past 8 or 9 days and my hip is bugging me, and that's with using the step only! I tried to add a few of the impact moves and that was a mistake. I have to keep it low.

Mariah, I'll work out if you work out. Is that motivational? :7

How cool you have a friend in Russia! I'm sure your coworkers will appreciate hearing from her. My DH has friends and colleagues from many different countries and it adds a richness to his life. It's nice and fun to make friends around the globe.

Jen, I bow to you for being able to follow up with a butt/hip/thigh workout after Powerstrike! I think my hips would be shot after that. Oh to be young again ;)

I can sympathize with you on the whole hunger thing. Cardio makes me ravenous! I did good yesterday -- I had a small piece of meat for dinner with a BIG salad, and a snack size bag of low fat popcorn for a treat. For lunch I had the last of a WW pasta dish I made the other night. I have no clue what I'm eating today -- I need to go to the store.

Dana, a seven mile walk is most definitely a workout, and that you loved it is a nice bonus! I've probably asked you this before, but how long does it take you to walk that far? Did you get all those letters folded? Do you have to stuff them in envelopes now?;(

I'll let all of you know if and when I hear back from Arista. I'm sure she's just swamped between her work, school, and wedding plans. I seem to recall a post where she wasn't feeling well. I hope she'll pop in, even if it's just long enough to say hello.

Hello to all the rest a youse!

I'm off to make breakfast and then I'm going to tackle that list!:*
 
SHELLEY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY yesterday!!!- I hope your day was great and you made the most out of it--I will try to catch up with you all soon--deb
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY late SHELLEY!

I hope you had a great day!

I know what I hate. MIGRAINES!!!
I've been "down" with one the past 3 days.
I've gotten them since I was born and am used to them but still hate missing 3 days at a time because of them!!

HATE, HATE, HATE!~ :eek: Okay, now that's out of my system!!!}( (I think)

Michelle, lists work for me! If I have stuff I really, really need to get done and can't put off anymore, I have to make a list. There's something about seeing it in black and white that works for me. Plus I get a real sense of accomplishment when I can cross something off !
Let me know how it works for you.

Hi to everyone!! Just think......tomorrow's Friday!! :7 :7
 
Hi Becky!!

Ooh, migraines. I'm so sorry you were suffering for THREE days. There's simply nothing worse than a migraine. I do have some good news for you -- they get better after menopause. I used to have frequent migraines, often lasting for days, but now that I'm post menopausal I only get them occasionally, and they don't last near as long. I probably have more sinus headaches nowx(

I checked off my first item on the list:D It was to water the African violets. Oh boy, that was fun! :7

ETA a big HELLO to Deb! We miss you!:*

Where is everyone!?
 
OH Michele,

Thank you for the good news!! :D
I hope that is the case for me.
I was told as a child, they'd be gone when I hit puberty,
that didn't turn out to be true at all. Then they said menopause. Now I've read they can get worse at that time!!!
I can't even imagine. They are severe as it is.
Have never found a medicine that works for me.
I take Stadol NS at night just to be able to sleep . It's a STRONG narcotic used for pain and it doesn't touch the pain, but at least I can sleep when I get a headache now. I used to be awake for 72 hours with them!;(

Way to go on watering the violets!

I just started bread in the bread machine. Maybe I should make a list so I can cross it off too! :p :7
 
Hello haters.

The carpet is in and it looks wonderful! Now I can't wait to get the curtains up, the furniture back and a few final touches made. The room will be all ready for my very special company at the end of April.

Becky, I'm sorry about your migraines. I have a good friend who suffers too and she's had a terrible time riding the narcotic roller coaster trying to find something to help.

I love lists too. I love seeing everything crossed off at the end of the day. I'm about halfway down mine for today.

Arista, where the heck are you?

Mariah, just do it! Sometimes I tell myself I'll start a workout and if I don't get into it in 10-15 min, I can stop. I don't think I've ever stopped, once I get going.

I have to get going if I'm going to finish that list. I'll try to get back later and catch up with everyone. Keep on folding, Dana.
 
Here I am! Here I am! http://www.smileyhut.com/characters/cheer.gif

Good morning Mariah, Jen, Dana, Michele, Deb and Becky (and all who follow). I know that some of MIA Haters are around - I saw them in the <--- thread, but they seem pretty busy.

Robin - Yay! http://www.smileyhut.com/excited/kicking.gif I can't believe you are coming to Nelson!!!!!!! It would be so wonderful to get together for a coffee (or some beverage). http://www.smileyhut.com/eat_drink/wine.gif I didn't know you had to have a passport to get into Canada - I thought we just said "Y'all just come in, eh!"

I guess I better GET a passport. I used to travel to SC all the time when I worked for Pirelli and I never had a passport, but the people in customs didn't seem too pleased that I was working down there.

Have you ever been to Nelson before? If not, be prepared for lots of tourists, "hippies" and children. We are a pretty "come as you are" community that is big on arts, outdoors and family. I hope you'll like it.

I posted some new pictures on my picture trail so you'll know what I look like! I am so excited!!!! (Can't you tell - I'm just babbling LOL)

I'll have to keep working on the yard in case you come by. I don't think that any of the other tenants did anything except mow the lawn. I have been trying to clear all the brush from this big bank in front of the house. We have a lot of skunks and such around here and I can see why now - the entire front is like a condo for skunks!

Dana - Walking SO counts as working out. Just after high school I lost a bunch of weight just by walking with my friend every night. I don't know how far we walked, but we would be gone for almost an hour, just chatting. (Except for the one time she wanted to see if we could go the whole way without talking - she was a little wacky, in a fun way.)

Jen - glad your stomach is better, RIGHT? BTW, you really inspire me to work out every day. I just ask my self "Do you think Jen is taking a day off????" LOL

Diane - I just LOVED your pictures! It made me want to run out and get pregnant again! (That didn't sound too wholesome, did it.) What a clear image! I loved being pregnant, the second trimester is the best - enjoy every minute of it.

Michele - where do you live where you would need A/C already!!!??? I guess nowhere near the Canadian border. LOL

Jana - hi, I'm Corrie

Becky - I am so sorry you have to endure migraines. I think I would go insane, I am such a baby when in comes to pain.

Mariah - "you can do it, put your back in to it!" Don't know if that is very motivational, but it makes me dance!

Shelley - saw you are having a bad day ... http://www.smileyhut.com/friends/flowers.gif

Well, I've got a list too. (I LOVE lists - sometimes I'll write down something I've just done so I can cross it off!)

Got to work out. Hey, I almost forgot, what would everyone recommend for a stretching workout? I would like to do some flexibility work on my rest day.

Check in later

I SAW CORRIE, I SAW CORRIE!! http://bestsmileys.com/hyper/3.gif

And she's a total cutie!



It turned out that I had to leave in a rush this morning and didn't have time to post, even though I'd written my post and everything! Now it's 1am and I'm going to get ready for beddie-bye...but I had to stop in to post my poor post! Post postie post post.

http://bestsmileys.com/friendly/2.gif

No heater on! No heater on! I'm sitting in my apartment with no heater on! Thank you for passing on the warmer climate! It was even a little warm yesterday and I had the opportunity to take off my big ol' sweater and be in a tank top for a bit while I was at work. It's been ages since I saw much of my skin, so I couldn't help but give some somewhat pitiful gratitude flexes for the mirror. http://www.smileyhut.com/thumb/thumbs_up.gif


CORRIE - "Order of the Arrow" ladies! LOL. I had no idea there was a name for you guys and that group! Cute! Is everyone getting a t-shirt made? That's so cool that Sophie designed the shirt. I've been scared to approach the <--- thread for fear of really getting into it and then seriously doing no work and losing my apartment.

Look at your cute emoticon hopping in the glass of wine and then drinking it up! OMG! New photos of you!! You're such a cutie! You look so flirtatious in that one photo of you smiling at the camera! Very sexy!

Skunks! Oh cute!! When I was little, I remember someone in my neighborhood had a baby skunk. It was so cool to hold it.

>I just LOVED your pictures! It made me want to run out and get pregnant again! (That didn't sound too wholesome, did it.)

LMAO!

Stretching workout? Hmm. I have Cathe's Stretch Max and like it. I also have Tamilee Webb's stretch tape and like that, too...I know I sound ultra-enthusiastic there. But they really are nice to have.

SHELLEY - Did you enjoy your birthday? Will you be getting some royalties for the t-shirt your daughter designed? http://bestsmileys.com/money/1.gif

ROBIN - Hey, the new passports in Japan are pretty cool - I wonder if they have them in the States now this way -- they have some kind of chip in them (not the salty kind) with all your info there, so nobody can pose as you.

Yard work or cleaning the house. Wow. Now there's a hard decision as to which one I'd rather do. Having a DD who could do up the yard all cool is a major bonus though!

JANA - Hiya!

DANA - What on earth do you mean "no workout...just a two mile walk" ? Is that not a workout? And yeah, where the heck is Arista? And Deb and Terri and MSY and Kara and and and! (Oh good, I see some of them posted later on.)

What's...what's a tasty cake?

9000 letters to fold?! Holy mo! Don't get any paper cuts! http://bestsmileys.com/scared/6.gif

>DH didn't get home from work until 8:15 so I was mad about that and I ate an entire pack of graham cracker. They were reduced fat though.

LMAO! Something about that is really cute.

DIANE - Cool photos!

MICHELE - I'm sending good speaking vibes to your DH. He is just so adorable, Michele.

>You cheated with REDUCED FAT graham crackers!?!?

LMAO! Quite the cheat, Dana! Quite the cheat!!

Oh, buying the same top in two colors is totally the way to do it. That's how all the celebrities do it, don't they? I bought some shoes when I was in the States last year and now I'm wishing I'd bought a couple more of the same pair. Not that they would have fit in my already jam-packed suitcase.

So were you able to accomplish the things you wanted to today? Oh wait, maybe you're still in the middle of doing them?...That sucks about your hip hurting from the step. I know you were excited to bring back some variety into your cardio with the step.

>Mariah, I'll work out if you work out. Is that motivational?

LMAO.

MARIAH - Hope you had a good meeting!....Okay, let's see...Motivation. Well, I've been taking a break, as you know. It's the longest break I've taken since becoming completely regular with my exercise for about two years. I plan to start up again on the 1st. (Har har har, I realize it's April 1st, but I ain't kidding here.) I've written out my rotation plan and it includes a bunch of workouts that I haven't done in a long time, and my workouts will be a bit shorter than they have been in the past.

How about we both start up our routine together? It doesn't have to be any long thing or major commitment. We just do what we can fit in, just so long as it is regular. What do you say?

JEN - Hey, busy woman. Did you have a nice rest day?

>I am so happy to have you back & STAY AWAY FROM THE DONUTS!

LMAO. I don't seem to be having any trouble at all accomplishing that!

DEB - Hey, you!

BECKY - Yuck. Migraine. That must be so debilitating. Do you have a good remedy for them?....Oh wait, I've now gotten to your post where you say that you really don't have a good remedy for them. Yuck! And you've had them since such a young age, too! Do your parents also suffer from them?


Okay, I've got to get to sleep. Sorry if my post is sort of scattered. And thank you for the nice welcome home!
 
Darn I can't see Corrie's Pic. Something is wrong with this computer.

Michele - I like making lists too. Oh no, August is on the list? Uh-oh. It took me about an hour and 15 minutes to walk 5 miles. Anyone who saw me walking probably thought I was late for something.

August - that is it, never had a tasty cake????? You are so getting one. When you least expect it, I'm sending you a package. So what do you like? Peanut butter tandy cakes, powdered donuts, krimpits with butterscotch icing, jelly filled, etc???? Ooooh yum!!! Personally, my fave are the peanut butter tandy cakes. YUMMO!

Robin - glad your room is coming along nicely.

Hey Jen!!!!

Yes, I am still folding. Only got 1 paper cut.

OK, over and out!
 
Corrie, I love your pictures. You're adorable!!

Michele, way to go on the workout!! :7 I love CC !!
I did LIC upper body premix, plus abs, but skipped the last cardio segment. It was still over an hour!

August, I know you're in la-la land but to answer your question, no, nobody else in my family has migraines, but they think mine was caused by a trama my mom suffered when she was pregnant with me.
I hate the migraines but am lucky that's all that happened to me!!

Hi back atcha' Dana!:D

Am baking chocolate chip cookies, better go check them!
:9
 
GIRLS!!!

Okay, I haven't been around much lately. I've been cranky and grumpy and busy at work.

So....

AUGUST - I'm so happy to see you back. This will sound weird, but where in Japan are you? I have a friend coming over there for a wedding in May... wanna play tour guide?;)

*turns on megaphone* ARISTA, PAGING ARISTA - IF YOU'RE OUT THERE, PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU'RE OKAY!!!

*leaves megaphone on* MARIAH - GET YOUR BUTT IN GEAR AND DO A WORKOUT!!!

Oh, geez, Becky, I'm so sorry. I'll stop yelling now and try to be quiet. Sorry to hear about your migraine. I get them too and if you've never had one, you just don't get how incredibly debilitating they can be. You have my sympathy or empathy or some-pathy.

Jen - you sound so much like me in the "I never sit still" department. And you make me want to do a Powerstrike. I haven't done one in MONTHS!

Dana - you still folding? You walked 7 MILES? Girl, that's a workout!

Michele - my life wouldn't be worth living without lists. I have lists of my lists. In fact, I need to go make a list right now! It's so much fun crossing things off. In fact, if I do something that isn't on my list, I write it on anyway, and then cross it off!

Robin - special guests? Now who on earth could you mean? Can't wait to see the newly decorated bedroom!

Deb - thanks for the birthday wishes!

Corrie - OMG you're so unbelievably CUTE AS A BUTTON. Oops, there I am yelling again. And your girls are adorable!

Okay, that's all I've got time for right now! Back to work with me!
 
Hi Haters!

I apologize for being MIA, but I have 2 papers due, a presentation tonight, my inlaws staying the weekend with us (and I have class on Sat!) and DD is turning 9 on Monday! Holy crap! Anyway, I miss y'all and can't wait until I have more time to post. If only I could teach myself to type faster x(

I do want to say thank you to Terri and Jen for recommending the Powerstrikes! WOW! I looooooove them! :)

Oh, and Corrie, you are sooo cute! :)

Man, I wish some of you lived closer to my area, so we could GTG. Anybody have family in Nashville that need to be visited????? ;-)
 
Kara, you poor thing! It sounds like you're about to blow the top off the stress-o-meter. Don't worry about us -- just come and vent whenever you need to. Hugs and :* :* :*

I still have things on my list...I...I can't get it all done. I think my list was too big.

So Shelley, what happens when you can't finish everything on your list? Do you add it to the next day's list? I can see where this could get dicey.

Becky, I'm on my way to your house for a cookie:9
 
Okay, I totally needed a workout like the one I had tonight to make myself remember why I bust my butt to workout like I do. I have had a crappy week... okay, it could be worse, business is good & when you work on commission that is always a good thing but in the mortgage business busy also means STRESSFULL!

Anyway, when I got home all I really wanted to do is curl up on the coach with a bunch of junk food and eat. Luckily for me, I don't ever buy junk food & I would never forgive myself if I didn't work out so like always I got my workout clothes on & headed downstairs.

Fast forward till now, Powerstrike 1 done, 200 jumping jacks done, 30 min. hips, thigs, butt done, swept the house done, and showered!

AND I FEEL WONDERFUL! This is why I work out... okay enough about me.

Mariah- How is that little blurb above for motivation???

Dana- A 7 mile walk is exercise!

Michelle- Good job on your list, I say for the first day you did good. Tomorrow just make the list a little more realistic so you can feel accomplished at the end of the day...remember you can always add more if needed, so start with less & challenge yourself to add more! Let me know if you check out jjill.com & what you think.

UGH, MY CELL PHONE WON'T STOP RINGING... I am sure I have about an hours worth of calls to return tonight, I LOVE MY JOB, I LOVE MY JOB, I LOVE MY JOB...

Deb- Good to see you stop by!

Becky- Hey there, so sorry about the migraines.

Robin- You need to take a picture of the room & post it.

Corrie- Wow, you are very pretty. Hey, I will trade you backsides...you can have my big butt!!! I am glad I can inspire you...I hope that is a good thing!

August- Glad the warm weather found you. I am glad you are staying away from the donuts, they really aren't worth the fat & calories!

Shelley- Powerstrike was AWESOME tonight, you really should pull out the first one & give it a go. I love that one!

Kara- Wow, you are busy. Try to take it easy a little bit. Don't you just love Powerstrike? Have you done both of them? The first one is my favorite of the two but I love them both. Such a great sweatfest!

Okay, my belly is saying...feed me Jen, feed me Jen. I will BBL! :)
 
Someone please stop me... I just bought three new workout DVD's from deep discount.com. I have been eyeing a few for a while & decided I need some "easier" workouts to incorporate to my 2 a day workout weekends.

So, I ordered Jari Love Slim & Lean, Mindy Mylera Kick Butt Bootcamp & Karen Voight Pilates Total Body Training... thought that may be a good "stretch" type workout for me that may also help tone the buttocks area.

So, do any of you haters have any of these workouts? I got all 3 for like $25 with free shipping. Had I ordered from collage video like I normally would it would've been like twice that much.

I am also thinking of getting TLT Better Burn, Better Buns but will hold off for a while... so any feedback?

I also plan on ordering Debbie Siebers new series when it is for sale, it has one w/o that is all stretching & about 30 minutes so that'll save me from ordering one of Cathe's stretch w/o that I was going to get.

Somebody stop me... Shelley I know you are around, I saw you just posted in the OD... HELP ME!!!!!
