HATE to be short - Oct 9

August

Cathlete
Hi!

I've come back to town, read up and laughed a bunch...and now I've got to go out for a bday party.

I'm deeming this my shortest post evah!

:D :D :D :D :p :p :p :D :D :D :D

I'll try to be back later!
 
Well August, it may be short, but I'm sure there will be lots of haters lured here to read it.

So Michele, please tell all about your day from hell! And your new cardio kingdom.

After work, the plan for today is something cardio, followed by something biceppy. My biceps feel a tad mushy today.

I found out yesterday that I am going to a workshop near the Philly airport next Tuesday. The company presenting it will pay for my room. Plus there is a dinner on Monday evening. So, how crazy would it be for me to leave home about 5am next Monday to get to Cathe's gym for her kickboxing class? I'm seriously thinking about it.

I have to run now. I'll try to get back later to see how August's party was. Have a wonderful day all you haters.

Oh, PS, my DH did have keys and I had locked the other set in the basement. I think I'm down 2 pounds from yesterday morning. I may have to do this trick every evening.
 
Good morning August & Robin! Good to see you both here, August if you aren't back today you must come back tomorrow- it just isn't the same here without you... Robin & I MUST stink! ;-) :p

I am not feeling good today at all- not sure why though either. I was getting ready for work & playing ball with Sport & all of a sudden felt like I was going to throw up and I did. :-( I felt a little better after that but still not great. I am at work though and going to get some toast here in a minute, hopefully I'll start feeling better if not I may leave early but we'll see.

About 2 years ago I did this in the mornings for like 3-4 months, about twice a week I'd just get sick in the morning and then would be fine. I think I figured out then though that I was taking all my meds (vitamin/flax pill/fish oil,birth control,etc...) on too empty of a stomach so once I corrected that it went away...who knows with me! ;)

I'll BBL!
 
Hello there!

Yesterday sucked. My day started out with finding a $2000 error in my checking account. I hadn't balanced my checkbook in a couple of months and it took me hours to find the problem -- a math error, of course. And no, I didn't do it. It's just a terrible ordeal anytime my DH scribbles in the checkbook. http://bestsmileys.com/geek/1.gif

Last week we noticed that Mr. Johnny was breaking out around his neck again -- a sign of allergies http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/7.gif . We had to change his food again which is really bad because there aren't many he's allowed to have. He's now on Z/D and he seems to like it, thank goodness. Oh, and he needs to have his teeth cleaned again, too. He has some gingivitis starting around his back teeth.


I finally got DH to do a workout Sunday afternoon. He did Sculpt 1-2 from P90 and he told me last night that he has DOMS }( . Of course, he didn't use that term because he's not up on workout lingo http://bestsmileys.com/geek/1.gif . He just said he was "mighty sore" -- LMAO!! He walked over his lunch break yesterday but I'd hesitate to call it an actual cardio workout. He's supposed to do the sculpt w/o again today. We'll have to see what happens.

Now for my cardio adventure :D

I've been ignoring poor Eli in favor of my new library of walking workouts (you know how I love my Eli and CC http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/loveshower.gif ) because I felt like I really needed to cross train. Well, y'all can make fun of me if you want to, but I have proof that those walking workouts, easy though they may seem, are pretty darn effective. I hopped on Eli this past Sunday for the first time in several weeks. I was sure it would kill me and that I'd have to take all my settings back to near beginner levels. I cued up one of my fav CC workouts and off I went. I EXCEEDED my normal speed and resistance levels by nearly 20% http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/cheerleader.gif
I couldn't believe it :eek: :D :eek: :D . It was awesome http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/clap.gif . For a minute there I almost understood why some of you lunatics love cardio :p . I just kept staring at my numbers thinking that something was off kilter -- that I couldn't possibly increase my endurance this much by doing WALKING WORKOUTS!!! That settles it -- Leslie is a damn genius!!

So, today is another cardio day. I should be doing the Sweat Cardio 1-2 from P90 but I really hate that one. I dunno -- I may have to pull out one of those "easy" walking workouts.

DOH! Phone -- I'll BBIAB, I promise ;) :*
 
Hi there!

I'm back and I'm really full.

And I have all the squirrels tonight because Mom was too tired to bring them back to her apartment after they were here hanging out.

And I have to get up super early tomorrow morning.

And I forgot to ask my brother something tonight that I need to have by tomorrow, so now I have to wait up for his phone call.

And I had chocolate souffle for dessert, so who the heck cares about anything else anyway? :p :p :p

ROBIN - I like your cute new avator. What are you wearing on your head. Is it a cute blue hat?

>August, it may be short, but I'm sure there will be lots of haters lured here to read it.

What a cutie you are.

Congrats on going down two pounds. Fabulous! And you should totally go to Cathe's gym!! Tell her we Haters wish her well.

JEN -

>Robin & I MUST stink!

You stink of Hatefulness of which all we Haters stink and love!

I'm so sorry to hear that you threw up. Urgh. I hope you didn't have to scrub any carpets LOL. How are you doing now?

MICHELE - You know, I don't know what holiday it was on Monday here. But the train stations were crowded and icky.

I'm glad to hear your teeth are fine. I knew you had to be checking things out, but I didn't realize it was every six months. Wow, at least (?) you must have some clean teeth!

Sorry to hear about the checking miss. Sometimes those things can be great, when it's in your favor. I guess your DH scribbles because it's a requirement for his profession.

And poor Johnny. Poor little guy! I'm glad you were able to find another food that he can eat. What a worry that must be. I hope he feels better soon, and that his teeth cleaning goes smoothly.

>I EXCEEDED my normal speed and resistance levels by nearly 20%

ACK! That is incredible!! Congratulations!!

>For a minute there I almost understood why some of you lunatics love cardio

Watch your mouth, young lady.

>I just kept staring at my numbers thinking that something was off kilter

LMAO! That's really fantastic, Michele. You've really been doing so great with your workouts, and how great for your DH, too! Cheers to him!


Oops, my phone call is coming in now. Later!
 
Hiya!!

I'm off the phone and ready to errandize. I wish errandizing counted for cardio :p


Robin -

>Well August, it may be short, but I'm sure there will be lots of haters lured here to read it.

LMAO!! Now now, Robin. We, or at least I, read your posts yesterday -- all of them -- I just didn't have time to reply. I really was swamped and none of it was fun. Then to top it all off, DH never made it home last night -- AGAIN ;( . He's working way too hard and I'm starting to worry that he's going to up and keel over from the stress ;(

Don't you just love little trips, courtesy of your employer :D

>So, how crazy would it be for me to leave home about 5am next Monday to get to Cathe's gym for her kickboxing class? I'm seriously thinking about it.

[font color=red size=+2]DO IT[/font] :D

Oh yes, extend our best and warmest wishes to Cathe from the Haters. I'm sure she'll appreciate that -- LMAO!! I sometimes have to wonder why she allows us to keep this check-in. She's either a closet Hater :eek: , or she finds us mildly amusing on some level. LMAO!!!

>I think I'm down 2 pounds from yesterday morning. I may have to do this trick every evening.

Holy wow!!! I wish I had a basement -- or at least a pantry I could lock up. :p


Jen -

>August if you aren't back today you must come back tomorrow- it just isn't the same here without you... Robin & I MUST stink!

I agree...on BOTH counts -- Hehehehe :p

I hope you're feeling better. there's nothing worse than puking! Did the toast help? I like to eat deeply browned (not burnt) toast when I have an upset stomach. Let us know if you figure out what made you sick.

August -

Who's birthday were you celebrating?

>And I had chocolate souffle for dessert, so who the heck cares about anything else anyway?

O...M...GOD!!!!! That is my most FAVORITE dessert of ALL TIME!!! Was it all warm and gooey? Did it have a sauce over it? Did you eat the whole thing by yourself }( :9 (I would have :eek: }( ).

How are the squirrels? Are you going to have to wake your mom up early for a squirrel delivery? LMAO!!

Sweet dreams and sleep tight, Augie:*

Okay girls, I have to run errands now. Remember me telling you that I was a day late with my property taxes this year. Well, I just got the bill for the penalty x( . I need to mail my payment and I want to get my errand out of the way. I want to make a nice dinner, too, since DH didn't make it home last night. I'll BBL if possible :* :)
 
Hiya, Michele, I was celebrating Sean Lennon's birthday. Just kidding :+ . I was celebrating my brother's birthday!

>That is my most FAVORITE dessert of ALL TIME!!!

Well, of course it is. Who doesn't lust over souffle? :p

>Was it all warm and gooey?

Warm, gooey and gone within moments of arriving at my place mat.

>Did it have a sauce over it?

It had some raspberry sauce kind of dribbled here and there. It was kind of a fancy schmancy place. Fancy schmancy loves dribble.

>Did you eat the whole thing by yourself

:9 Yes, and I loved every bite of it. But remember - it was at a fancy schmancy place, and fancy schmancy loves teeny tiny. The whole souffle....well, if I wanted to, it could fit in my mouth in one bite LOL.

>How are the squirrels? Are you going to have to wake your mom up early for a squirrel delivery?

The squirrels are funny when they are four together. They become...a little wild. I'm feeling for my mom on the weekends.

Actually, the early morning I have tomorrow is to take my mom for a health checkup, so the squirrels will be hanging out more at my place.

>Remember me telling you that I was a day late with my property taxes this year. Well, I just got the bill for the penalty

LMAO! The thing I forgot to ask my brother tonight was for an extra check to write for the tax office! It HAS to go out tomorrow!

Okay, I better get to sleep now. Or try at least. :*

Night night!
