Good morning Melter's!!
It seems like forever since I've checked in and I've missed you rascals!
My pre-sale # is 17792
OMG I haven't worked out since, I want to say, last Wednesday or Thursday
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
;( . I cannot...CANNOT miss another workout today! I won't be weighing in tomorrow, that's for sure. And though my meals have been perfectly clean, I've had some between meal treats that ruined everything. That's the one good thing about DH being away -- it's much easier to avoid the junk! I made a huge pot of soup Monday with all kinds of beans and lentils and I'll be eating that everyday.
Robin - LOl -- oh yeah, I very nearly killed my DH. He was supposed to take part in a meeting in Washington, DC via conference call, but since his research is the topic of discussion they felt, at the last minute, that he should be there in person.
I love grocery shopping, since it is the only time I get to spend $$ lately. ROTFLMAO!!!! As for the pre-sale, I agree that the timing is regrettable, but this project sounds like a huge undertaking and I have a feeling that it will run for several months at the current price. I think you'll have plenty of time to take advantage of it
Deb - ^^^5's on your weight loss!! I love Gym Styles, too, and I plan to include it in my 16 week rotation -- the rotation that I need to re-start today
Shelley - I'm so sorry you're sick. Yes, yes, rest today and eat soup! Soup is so full of antioxidants and it's very good for what ails you
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. I wish I could bring you a giant tub of my soup -- I have enough for an army!
Judy - Have fun on your golf weekend!! And ^^^5's for you for your weight loss!
Cuz - I'm sending vibes your way as you reassess your exercise habits/goals. Its great that you're on top of it and recognized the pattern before it takes hold of you. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that you weren't able to workout for such a long time? I have no doubt that you'll be able to keep it all under control :*
Lainie - Thank you again for doing all that work on the compendium! What would we do without all your wonderful worksheets, and now the compendium updates!? You're so kind to share it all with us. Have fun at coffee with "Mother". Yeah, that would be hard for me, too. Actually, at my age, it seems like authority figures are getting younger every day
Stephanie - Don't worry about seeming self absorbed -- you aren't at all. This forum is supposed to be a place where we come for support and inspiration, so take advantage of it! I would suggest that you avoid weighing yourself every day and cutting that back to once a week, especially since you can gain or lose 2 or 3 pounds from one day to the next, and even within the same day!! Don't let the scale rule your world. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your attempt to conceive again. That's so exciting!
tneah - WOO HOO and ^^^5's for hiring a trainer!! I can't wait to hear all about it. And I agree with the general consensus that you are HOT already!! I've thought about hiring a trainer. I used a PT for years but it got to be too expensive. I have to admit there's nothing like checking in with a PT to keep you accountable!
TK - I don't do any of the cardio on the 4DS workouts
![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. When I did Cathe's 4DS rotation I subbed all the cardio segments with either Cardio Coach or a walking DVD and I still had great results with it.

Leanne - WOO HOO! You kicked off the pre-sale with the first order!! Yours will be the very first order they fill -- that's awesome!! Your breakfast sounds yummy. Your jewelry is so beautiful. I don't know how my eyes would hold up, but I would probably have trouble handling the beads. The older I get the less dexterity I seem to have and I'm constantly dropping things. I have a little arthritis in my fingers and I can't even do the cross stitch that I used to enjoy so much.
I'm off to run some errands. There's a computer store down the street that's going out of business and they're having a huge sale. I'm going to see if they have MS Office 2004 for Mac. My DH needs Word because he writes, and Power Point for his presentations. He makes a ton of slides for conferences and such.
P.S. Do any of you Mac users know why I can't post to a forum with Mozilla? I always used Mozilla with my PC and I like it so much better than Safari, but I haven't been able to post when I use it. It's the strangest thing -- I can log in to the forum, I can bring up the window to reply to a post, but the minute I click on the "Post Message" button it takes me back to the log in page!?
Also, for those of you who switched from a PC to a Mac, how did you transfer your files? We saw a program called "Move2Mac", but it costs about $40 and it has terrible reviews. Can you move everything with an ethernet connection -- I mean everything, including bookmarks? TIA for your help :*
