<<LMAO - Apparently, we still DO have a 4-smilie limit. Just because it's too painful to edit, I'm leaving all the links to the smilies. You can just go ahead and imagine them there..... >>

<<LMAO again - Apparently we are not even allowed to submit a post with over 4 smilies, for crying out loud! So here I go to edit...>>


Morning! <<happy morning emoticon here and now gone>>

I just got a very important email telling me that there is no limit to smilies?! Is...is this true?! I did not see the joyous announcement here -- how could I have missed it?

<<some kind of funny emoticon here and now gone>>

IT'S LIKE A PRESENT!!

<<girl popping out of a present emoticon here and now gone>>


OH HAPPY!!

<<a bunch of dancing banana emoticons here and now gone>>

I might go hog-wild with emoticons today to celebrate!

<<fireworks emoticon here and now gone>>

I mean like, use them where they make no sense at all, just for the purpose of using them and satisfying my Smilie Spot!

<<smilie looking content emoticon here and now gone>>



Well, everyone, guess what I did today! I did (part of) CC in the comforts of my own air-conned apartment!

<<taking a bath emoticon here and now gone>>

(I realize this guy is taking a bath, but I'm using it because I don't have a smilie limit anymore LOL)

I did the warm up, Steady 1, half of Challenge 1, and the cool down. How did I do it, you ask? Jogging in place, stepping when I wanted to, jumping jacks, a little kickboxing -- whatever kept me moving to the beat.

And so my question for you CCers - Do you actually keep this fast beat?!

<<passing out emoticon here and now gone>>

Maybe it was because I wasn't on a machine or even moving forward <<laughing emoticon here and now gone>> but it was so hard to keep my feet moving to that fast beat.

Now, I was only able to do half of the first challenge so I can't really give it a review, but it did keep me moving that whole time. You know, I had been imagining that Sean would be talking to you throughout the entire workout. LOL. I don't know why I'd assumed that.

But one thing's for sure -- I got big enjoyment just thinking that I was listening to Michele's boyfriend.

Ahhh, it's good to have the smilies back.

I sure do need to get an elliptical. I very much want to try this out on an elliptical. And I need to go to CC's website to see what they say about levels again. Anyway, it was a fun and new way to do my exercise! YAY!


One last thing...I've decided I need to rearrange my dumbbells and whatnot that is under my bed. As it is, all my dumbbells are ON my step, all under the bed, and every time I want to use my step or dumbbells, it's a hassle. But because the space under my bed isn't that great, it's not that easy to take the dumbbells out. I think this might have something to do with my reluctance to use all my equipment.

Really.

JENNIFER - Hey, good news about this guy named Scott. I have a little thing for guys named Scott. I hope it will go well.


DANA - I cracked up at that Star Wars smilie. It's totally us hanging out!

>Did you print out the list of workouts for STS? Holy Cow!!!

Wait. Do I need to print something out?

>That is a few workouts just getting your 1RM for all those exercises. Some of the exercises, I don't even know what they are. Did you read some of the other ladies did it and their suggested weights are like, oh, 17lbs, 11lbs. WTH????? I can't afford anymore equipment so I'm wondering if it is even worth it to do the 1RM? I was so excited about this series but now I"m beginning to wonder.

Especially now that we all have our kettlebells LOL.

I should do that 1RM to be prepared. I can do the test as a workout, I suppose. The info is stored for you, right?

>there will be 200 people. So then my DH says that I should make the broccoli salad. I don't know how to make food for that many people. Is he nuts??????

LMAO!!! Broccoli salad for 200 people! Can you imagine what that would look like?


MICHELE - OMG! You got your count back! YAY! That's fantastic that they were able to do that! Although I must admit, I did feel all fancy being up above you all there in counts even briefly. Dana and I were like the senior royalties for a short period of time LOL. But really, no one should have to lose THAT many counts! I'm so happy you got them back.


BECKY - Hi Becky! You got in, I'm so glad! You know, I still don't know how to use the standard emoticons they have listed below so I can't help you there. But it's good to see you back!




Okay, I'm off to do some work now.

Moments ago I pulled a banana off the stalk of bananas I have, and the entire stem popped off EVERY single bamn danana!

Now I've got a bunch of half-naked bananas!


Have a nice day everybody!

OMG!!!

I'll do personals tomorrow...er...later this morning.

Tomorrow...er...today is trash pickup and I still haven't taken it out. I'm such a procrastinator.

 

[August]

Heheh, I checked the info where I thought I saw that the emoticon ration had been lifted.

It seems I misread the info.

Reminds me why I'm glad not to be in school any more.

Hello Haters.

August-How's the squirrels doing? today is supposed to be hot and humid so I'm leaving my window shut to keep the house cool with an open MI basement, the boys s/b fine.
Scott is also the name of my ex-husband. We IMd a little last night. He told me he was going to either go for a run or work on his yard, I suggested both and he thought I was crazy but he chose to do both anyways.

Michele-congrats on getting your count back. Mine is forever gone, but it's good to have a new name for the new site.

Hello to Robin, Shannon, Becky, and Jen.

Hey there haters.

Aug - you're cracking me up with your smilie lingo!!!! I can't believe you did CC while jogging in place, seriously, you're nuts!!!! Did you feel like you got a decent workout? Why can't mom buy an eli & keep it at her place? Kinda like a trade off for all the times you have slumber parties with her squirrels at Casa De August. Sounds fair to me! All in favor, say "I"!!!! What is this I'm reading about a new energy drink in Japan made from eels?????? Yuck!!!! ((right now would be good spot for a puking smilie, eh?)

Sorry your nanners are naked. Put them in the freezer before they turn all brown and yucky. You could still use them for your smoothies.

Michele - how long does it take you to take the trash down????? Sheesh woman, I would've thought you'd be back by now!!!

So you two, I "thought" that there was a workout w/the kettelbell. Boy am I dumb, it is just the tutorial. My DH said to me, "that was a really short workout you did down there". I think it is going to take me some time before I get the moves down. For starters, I cannot, CANNOT, do the Turkish Getup. And I"m talking, with no weights!!! I look like I"m trying to play Twister. I'm all twisted, not in the right position, oh it was not pretty. I didn't dare try it with the KB. Another move I cannot do is the tricep one. I kept hitting myself in the forearm. Also can't do that other one, I believe you're working the biceps in that exercise?? I keep banging myself in the chest. WTH is wrong with me? I know that I'm not very coordinated, but this was pathetic!!!! I just expected to get the exercises down pat the first try. Wishful thinking, huh?

OMG this guy just walked by my desk talking and his breath smelled so bad. Yuck, yuck, yuck. And he was just chatting in passing. Oh dear, had he stopped to talk for real, what would I have done? OK don't even want to think about it.

Becky - hey you! Glad to see you made it here.

Robin - I was just perusing a site for local organic farmers and noticed that the place that you & your DH ate at (Peter Allen House, I think) buys their produce from them. Did you know that they use organic veggies? Wasn't sure about the meats/eggs though.

We didn't make it to Sam's last night - probably going to go tonight. And Target as well.

So, did you ever say something where you really stuck your foot in your mouth? Well, that was me last night. You know how I told you that my DH is helping organize a picnic at the racetrack? Well, he told me that he gave the info to someone and they were going to put it on the website. So I checked it out and couldn't believe how poorly it was written. I said to my DH, did you see the blurb on the site about the picnic? He tells me no, and I say well Gabe could've written it better (and he could have) and I told him what it said. He gets this look on his face and told me that he is the one that wrote it. LOL. I said I'm sorry but it really is bad.

Hi Jennifer, Shannon & everyone else!

OK, I guess I'd better get back to work. Talk to you all later!!!

 

[jennifer-in-mi]

Hello Haters.

Happy Humidity!! CA got the earth shaking tonight and not Japan.
Have a Great Night.
