HATE when haters aren't around, 8/13

[Miss Lee]

Good morning!

I have no clue what went on in Hatertown over the weekend. I was so busy with my nephew that I had precious little time to post, although I did manage to take a peek at some wonderful RT photos -- those lucky stiffs!

The birthday celebration was a big success! DN loved his gun but was a little disappointed when he didn't get to fire it. DH took him to the range but there was a cowboy show going on so no one was allowed to shoot. They stayed for most of the day and watched the show and DN enjoyed it, but I think he would rather have had the opportunity to try out his new gun. His dad fell in love it, too, and I have a sneaking suspicion that he'll try to monopolize it -- lol!

We had to take DN home yesterday -- we met his parents at a half way point. We had dinner together, which was very nice, but by the time we got home last night I had a terrible migraine headache. I'm so glad that I'll be able to get back into a routine, but I have to confess -- I really enjoyed my nephew's company. He's a great kid and a true guardian angel for his autistic brother. I cried at their reunion when his brother hugged him then jumped up on his back and squeezed his neck. It was so touching. :+

It's back on the elliptical for me today. I haven't done a workout in ages, other than a few good stretches. And my diet . I don't even want to go there. It's time to clean it up!

August, Johnny wants me to tell you that he has all of his teeth and a pearly white smile to boot -- LMAO! http://planetsmilies.net/grinning-smiley-1652.gif

Oh hey, I don't have time for personals right now. I need to call my friend, Nancy, the one with breast cancer. she had a chemo treatment last week and I want to check on her and see how she's doing. I also have work to do around here, and a workout. I'll BB after I get a few things accomplished:*

Hi Michele. Sorry Hatersville was so quiet. I think if you haters would have gone on the RT, you would have loved the cardio. I'm glad you had a good visit with your nephew and even gladder to hear that Nancy is doing OK.

No workout for me today. I'm recuperating from the weekend. Greyor has a doctor's appt I promised to go to. Tomorrow I'll be back to work, I hope.

Hey girls. I'm full of hate today. Of myself, for the most part. *sigh* I just love PMS.

Robin - I wanted to tell you that you look absolutely AMAZING in all the pics I've seen of you. You're just beautiful, and that's all there is to it

Michele - I'm glad your life is now returning to normal. Tell you what - let's make a pact to try to eat better. I haven't been doing so well either.

Hey haters, hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I was busy doing "stuff" all weekend... you know those things that you need to do but never want to do b/c they take up too much time? Yep, that was a big part of my weekend! I have today off work, I have quite a bit of days a year, 30 including vacation & sick time and since I rarely call in sick I have lots to use. So, I took today just because and I've been running errands all morning so now I am getting ready to take a nap before I hit my 2nd workout today!!!

My workouts this weekend were:
Saturday- Powerstrike 1, 20min butt/thigh w/o and B&G
Sunday- Drill Max and Slim & Lean
Monday- Power 90 Cardio Intervals, KM leg drills and later will be Firm It Up with a 20 min floor butt/thigh toning w/o

The rest of my weekend consisted of preparing for 2 presentations I may or may not be giving... frustrating not knowing but not a damn thing I can do about it so I'll just go with the flow! My boss's boss was let go but still her boss for 90 days so she "thinks" we'll still be heading to Des Moines on Monday-Wed next week but still isn't 100% sure, she really doesn't want to go either but it isn't her call so I guess we will probably know for sure by Wednesday. The other presentation is for this Wednesday at our sales meeting. Sonia's new boss may or may not be coming in for this meeting so if she does then she is going to give her my time at the meeting so she can address the group but if she doesn't come in then I'll be doing the presentation. Nothing like not having a clue, huh??? ;-)

Michele- Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your DN, I'm sure he really enjoys your company too. My mom was an only child so I didn't have many aunts/uncles around besides my dad's side but my mom's mom was always with us and I used to LOVE going to visit her and spending time with her. We had so much fun, playing cards, watching baseball or Wheel of Fortune, going fishing... those memories will be with me forever as will your DN remember all the wonderful time he spent with you.

Robin- Glad to have you back, sounds like you had a blast on the road trip. Shelley is correct too, all the pictures I've seen of you are amazing... you look very good in green too, by the way!!

Shelley- You aren't the only one not eating great... even though my food choices are slim right now hasn't stopped me from eating way too much of it! I haven't been good at all and it is so hard to get back on track ... i keep thinking the extra workouts will make up for it but I know better and know that diet is about 80% of how my body looks, which I HATE!! Anything new with you these days? Haven't seen you around for a while.

Okay, well I'm off to take a short nap, then do some on-line shopping for shoes, then off to do Firm It Up before showering for the 2nd time today then taking it easy this evening. I really need new workout shoes but I am so picky and the ones I currently have they changed the style and I don't like the new ones. :-( I tried the Ryka Instructor ones but they are too high for me but I also don't like really low ones- I like a mid-height shoe. Any suggestions?

I must fight the urge to go buy a chocolate chip cookie from starbucks. x( I knew coming on here and listening to all the workouts y'all are doing would make me feel guilty enough not to eat that cookie. I saw it when I picked up my lunch and it was calling my name...

Anyway, nothing really to report here since I can't workout! Not allowed, doctor's orders. My doctor's appointment on Friday went well, my bp is doing great and all the tests came back normal. Doctor did say to continue resting when I get home from work and stay off my feet. And she asked when I am going to take off work and I said I will probably keep working until the end and she said - "So you won't leave work early unless I put you on bedrest." I said probably not. She said, "I will keep that in mind." Meaning she may want me to stop work early. She also said just to not worry about work and try to blow it off as much as I can. Funny advice.
I wouldn't mind taking off work early, but when I think about all the extra money we would save each week I stay, it makes me want to stay as long as I can. We save my entire salary now, and it would take almost a year without my salary for DH to save what I earn every 2 weeks. So it really is worth it for me to stay as long as I can.

We had our second childbirth class this weekend and I am glad those are over with. Although they were informative, they were just so long (4 1/2 hrs each).

Hello Haters.

How are you?

My news, my parents are headed back to Mayo for my Dad's 90 post stem cell transplant. My neice, Morgan, officially walked this weekend in NY. My half porch is done.

Ok, let's plan on ALL going to the next RT??? I plan on it.

Hey guys, I'm back in town and here for a quickie to say hi... I've been trying to post all morning but Mr. Internet has not been wanting to be kind.

Shelley, I was LOL about your comments about what pets are thinking when we're trying to eat!

Okay, where are the photos of Robin and the RT? I wanna see I wanna see!

Hugs to you all and I'll be back soon! Sorry to be so short. (No short jokes, here )

Later!

Hey!!

Oh boy, it's really late. I'm just stopping by on my way to bed. I logged on to see if Heather posted about the RT because, well, lets face it, nobody can tell a story like Heather -- lol! I highly recommend reading it-- but fetch a cup of tea or something first because it's really long -- but good, very, very good

I'll see you in the morning:*. Augie, your internet status is not acceptable . We miss you
