Where is everyone?

Dana - That is horrible about the Jamba Juice cookies. I have never had one of those cookies. I used to go to Jamba all the time when I was in law school, but I haven't been in a long time.

Not much going on today. It is the last day of work for one of my friends here so there will be goodbye lunches and happy hours and such so should be a fun day.
 
Goodmorning Diane. I have been a Miss Crabbypants lately, which is why I haven't been around as much. So far today, my mood is better. Good luck with your DH's new-job-hopes. When will he know?

Yesterday I did PLB up only and PUB up only. I'm seriously feeling it in my hamstrings, which is wierd, because I don't remember getting DOMS from PLB up and down. Today I hope to get something cardio accomplished. I have to do some running around after work, but with school out for DD and DH, there isn't as much pressure to get home and get dinner on the table. I still haven't begun to pack for next week's trip, and I better, or I will find everything I want to pack in the dirty laundry pile.

Hi to all you haters out there. I'll try to get back after my workout this afternoon.
 
Hiya!!

I've been busy, busy, busy, this morning, and I just got off the phone with a friend who wanted to go out to lunch today. No way can do!! I have so much to do before our trip (I still don't even know for sure IF I'm going) that I don't know how I'll get it all done.

I need to go shopping in the worst way. I don't have anything nice to wear for warm weather months. All of my spring/summer clothes are faded, ripped, or stretched out. So far I've only been able to get to the mall one day and I came home empty handed. I actually cried all the way home because I couldn't find anything. We don't have many nice places to shop around here. We're getting a Nordstrom's but not until fall of 2009:-( . I'm planning to hit the mall again on Thursday -- the only day I'll be able to make it this week. Wish me luck -- I need it desperately.

Did I mention that I did Kick Max last night? LMAO!! I look absolutely ridiculous trying to kick box. I must say I like the leg drills in that workout, but OMG are they ever hard! I couldn't do all the reps and I sure as hell couldn't lift my legs as high as Cathe. Today I'm planning to do GS BSB.

So far I'm doing well with the 7 day clean eating challenge. I made a tiny slip up yesterday but I didn't let it derail me for the rest of the day. My meals are planned for the day and I've already been to the grocery store. I'm working on Mt Washmore while I wait for the guy to come and repair my reverse osmosis drinking water system -- we need to have the tank pressurizedx(

Okay, enough about me.

Jen, I hope you're still feeling good. It sounds like you got a decent workout in yesterday. How on earth do you manage to do 200 jumping jacks? Do you do them all at once or in sets? I think that would kill my knees. I've heard a lot about the Slim Series but I have no clue what it is. Who's the instructor and what kind of workouts are included?

Diane, when does your DH expect to hear about that job? Oh gosh, the waiting would kill me. I'm so impatient about stuff like that. I'm glad you have a fun day to look forward to at work today.

Robin, I had major DOMS after PLB. I've done both the up and the down premixes and I think I like the down better. I can go heavier with the down. With the up premix I was tired out by the time we got to the heavier weight and I had to go lighter or do fewer reps.

I WISH I had something to pack ;( . I think you and I NEED vacations something awful! I've been pretty down in the dumps lately and I know you have, too. I'm struggling here, really. I'm trying to be perky and up beat but I'm not feeling it. I've barely seen DH since he got home. He slept all night Saturday and most of Sunday. Sunday night we took the IL's to dinner, and yesterday he didn't get home from work until after 10PM. I haven't had any quality time with my DH in over 2 weeks:-( . We haven't had time to talk about this trip. In fact, we don't have any reservations anywhere once his meeting is over, and we're supposed to leave next week. I feel like the whole thing is in limbo.

Hello to everyone else. I may not make it back here today but I'll try. I need to stay focused here or I'll drown.:* :*

ETA OMG I have so many sad and mad smilies in my post. I feel really bad about that. I swear I'm not like suicidal or anything -- LMAO!! Here, I'll leave you with this guy :7 :7 :7 :p :7 :7 :p :7 :D :p :D :7 :*
 
We have no idea when we will hear back about the job. I know they have at least one more person they are interviewing, and possibly more, so I am guessing they will wait until they finish the interviews that are already scheduled before giving him a job, even if they already know that they want him. Hopefully it would be a week or less to wait, but DH is just dying waiting. He wants to job so badly now.

Michele - good job for doing kickmax and sticking to your 7 day challenge! I know what you mean about needing to go shopping. We have been going through our closets to clean out stuff to make room for baby stuff and I realized how old some of my clothes are. We got rid of a lot of my clothes to Goodwill so I will NEED some new clothes once I have the baby. But I HATE going shopping. I know that sounds weird, but I really really hate spending money on clothes and shoes. It pains me. Every thing I have probably ever purchased has been out of necessity. I would need an outfit for a specific event so I would be forced to buy it. And most of my clothes are work clothes, so I will need to stock up on casual clothes since that I what I will be wearing full time in 5 months!!
 
Oh, talking about shopping, do y'all want to see what I am wearing this weekend to my sister's graduation from business school? I am leaving for Boston on Friday morning and will be back Sunday afternoon.

I have to wear this outfit to two weddings and DH's 10 year high school reunion too, so hopefully it looks good!
 
I love everything about this outfit! I love deep V necks with an empire waist and 3/4 length sleeves. The shoes are beautiful, too! You'll look lovely in this outfit. Where are you getting it?

My DH's 30 year reunion is this summer. I sooooo don't want to go;(

ETA once more because I think you should get that bracelet, too:)
 
Hehe. I like the bracelet too. Both were from Nordstroms. I had to order a few dresses online (the maternity clothes is online only) and took back the ones that didn't fit well. The dress selection at maternity stores is horrendous and expensive and Nordstroms has a great selection. The shoes I got at Nordstroms this weekend in the store. I also got a necklace but I couldn't find it online.
 
Beautiful outfit, Diane. I can't wear plunging v necks, due to my boardlike chestal region. Even when I was pregnant, I was pretty small up top.

Michele, I sure do hope (and pray) you get on that trip. You and your DH need some time together, away from IL's, brothers, sisters, and home responsibilities. Oh, I forgot, some of your family will be there, won't they? Oh well, you can't have everything.
 
>>You and your DH need some time together, away from IL's, brothers, sisters, and home responsibilities. Oh, I forgot, some of your family will be there, won't they? Oh well, you can't have everything.

ROTFLMAO!! Oh yeah, my crazy fam damily will be there in force. Maybe I SHOULD wait and go another time:eek: ;) .

I'm shopping for more Cathe DVD's. I wasn't going to get the PS series but the more I look at it, the more I want it. It seems to be highly rated in the Ultimate Guide. I think I'm going to get it, and then I think I'm done until she comes out with new stuff.

Here's a list of the DVD's I WASN'T planning to buy:

- Circuit Max and Cardio Kicks
- RS/IM/MIC
- The Classics Vol 1
- Terminator
- HC Extreme
- HSC

I'm kind of on the fence about Circuit Max/Cardio Kicks and HSC, but I definitely don't see myself ever using the others.

I decided to do the 16 week weight loss rotation after all. I've been looking at it for a few months now and I think I'll really like it. That's another reason I want the PS series, because it's called for in this rotation. I know I can sub with GS but strength workouts are my favorite:D

Diane -- get the bracelet:) :) :)
 
Robin - LOL about the v-neck. I never would have worn one usually, but pregnancy definitely has some "perks" if you know what I mean. I have gone up at least one cup size, and probably will grow more once the milk gets here. I told DH to enjoy it while it lasts, because they will probably never look this good again after breastfeeding.
 
Michele - I have PS and didn't use it much. I think it is effective, but a little boring. I also have Classics which is really really basic step. It helped me learn some of Cathe's step moves, but after that, it got too boring. If you are already doing more current Cathe step without a problem, then it might be too basic for you.
 
Diane, I just ordered PS. Nah, I'm not going to get the Classics DVD. Step is my least favorite form of cardio...or is that kickboxing? -- lol!
 
PS helped me get in shape for my wedding. It is effective, but the exercises are more traditional than in GS. That is why I said it was boring.
 
GS is probably my favorite, but I think it'll be nice to have more variety. I previewed PS and it does look a little dated but I think I'll like it.

You looked great in your wedding pictures, by the way!;) :)
 
I'm baaaaaack. I ended up doing IMAX3 and I'm pooped with a capital P. I'm hoping the heat (it's about 80 here) is why the workout took so much out of me.

Diane, yeah, they definitly lose something following pregnancy. Are you planning on breast feeding? Too nosy? I couldn't with Tristan. He had no sucking reflex. But I did with Emily and found it convienient and rewarding. She weaned herself at 6 months, which was nice too.

Michele, PS is nice to have for a change. It is a bit dated, and it is a bit basic, but heck, I think most weight training is boring, so the more, varied workouts you have the better, right?
 
Hey haters! I did Tone It Up & 200 jumping jacks tonight. Tomorrow is my off night then I'm thinking either Cindy Whitmarsh Ultimate Fat Burner on Thursday or Powerstrike, not sure yet. I know this weekend I am doing KPC & Drill Max but not sure about Thurs or Fri or my evening weekend workouts.

Michele- I do the jumping jacks 100 at a time, normally it's after my workout then I'll do 100 the sweep the house then go back down & do another 100. Slim Series is from beachbody.com & Debbie Siebers is the instructor. A lot of people find them too boring as all 5 of them are similiar, Firm It Up is all lower body- no weights, Tone It Up is all light cardio/light weights (she uses 3lb. I use 5lb.) and hits the lower & upper good, Mix It Up does just that, a little bit of everything & uses bands, Shape It Up is 80 min. & I think is good lower body, then Tear It Up is 80 min & is the most cardio intese of all them. I don't do Mix It Up very often or Tear It Up as I'd rather do a Powerstrike or KPC for my cardio. People either like them or hate them, Terri the MIA hater got them after I convinced her & she really likes them & Dallys of the hardcore check-in is another fan of Debbie. I think it works good for body types like mine, that tend to gain muscle easy on the lower half, it won't ever bulk you up. I will say a prayer your shopping goes well.

Diane- I love that dress! Nordstrom is where I always end up getting dresses for events, we don't have one here but that doesn't stop me from ordering on-line. I'll have to see if they still have the dress I got last year for a work event in CA. It was brown & blue halter style dress, really shows off the shoulders & chest region nice! I was hoping they'd put that store in instead of the Macy's that is here. Oh well, that is what the computer is for, right?

Robin- Sorry you have been crabby. Did you get a workout in today?

Dana- WHERE ARE YOU??????????

Okay, well since it was almost 8 last night before I ate dinner I want to try to get to it earlier tonight as I'm planning on hitting the hay early also...I think I may end up having to call the doctor again, this morning my throat & ears hurt so bad but as the day went on it got a little better but I think I'm going to need more medicine to completly kick this infection, ugh! Okay well I may BBL if any of you are around.
