I Hate Cardio - May 8

Morning haters! Didn't do any cardio yet but just wanted to wish Michele a very happy birthday! And to take the day off - have a cardio-free-birthday!

Be back later!
 
Good morning!

Dana, thank you so much! I am debating about taking that cardio free day but I'm on the fence. I've enjoyed so much UNclean eating over the past week that I kind of feel like I should do it anyway. OMG you better look up! I think the sky is falling--lol!

I saw your weekend post, by the way, Yeah, I checked in on Saturday too, even though I said I wouldn't. I was ROTFLMAO at your story about Gabe and the bike ride. Oh, how funny!

Kate, OMG, I almost peed my pants when I saw your thread title for yesterday. That's a classic! I'm not sure, but I think you quite possibly hate cardio more than me. I was out of town all day yesterday and didn't get home until late, then I pretty much crashed for the night.

I've had a very nice morning. It started off with the lovely and warm Bday greetings on the forums, and my DH called from Germany. Boy, I can't wait until he gets home. I miss him so much. He gets in tomorrow evening and I'm counting the hours.

I'm off to scrounge up something for breakfast but I'll check back in later.

Happy Birthday Michele - no cardio today for you unless you want to.

I had a pretty awful weekend. We found out that our kitten, Lucy, is dying. She has FIP and only has a couple weeks left. My DH and I are heartbroken, as she has just been the best companion and we have only gotten the chance to know her for a short time. We just adopted her around Christmas, and she is only 9 months old. This has been the first pet that I really really loved and cared about, so it has been very hard on me. It was the first time I saw my husband cry, ever. We are going to put her down next Wednesday, in a week and a half, if she is able to make it that long. The vet said she is not is pain, but is pretty uncomfortable. If she looks like she is in pain, we will have to take her in earlier.

Needless to say, I didn't get any cardio in Saturday, and my run on Sunday was horrible, only ran for 15 minutes then walked the rest of the way. I just don't have the energy.

On top of that, work is really busy, and I was here last night (Sunday) until 11 pm, and I will have another long night today.

Anyway, sorry to bring everyone down, I am just having a horrible week.
 
Michele!

Happy birthday! You should go ahead and treat yourself to two Body Fusion treats today!! }( }( }(

Oh, of course I'm just kidding. It's your birthday! It's officially FREE day! (Though with DH coming home soon, you'd probably feel better doing the cardio in preparation ;-) )

Anyway, hope you're having a great birthday!

Diane,

I am so sorry to hear about your kitten. I know how hard that is. I've gone through watching 4 cats pass away and it's just horrible. Being that she's still a kitten with an illness - that is just heartbreaking. I'm sure you and your husband have given her a really wonderful and warm home since she became part of your family in December. All of us are here to talk with you whenever you need it, so feel free to write about it if you feel you would like to. I'll be sending you and your husband warm wishes, and hope that your kitten will be able to live the rest of her time without pain. For certain she knows she is being taken care of as best as you can.
 
Diane~ oh my I am soooo sorry to hear about your kitten. That makes me so sad too! I love my kitty and he was a pound kitty and had I not adopted him the day I did they were going to put him under because he was a sick kitty. Gosh, I am so sorry. Sending you some good vibes, I hope that helps. Man, that is just a hard situation. Keep you and your kitty in my prayers. I hope you can try to have a good week with everything going on.

Dana~ loved the story with Gabe this weekend. What a cutie! Big boy got tired so quick! too funny!

Michele~ already sent you a bithday wish..but going to send you another one! happy birthday!!!

Toasty~ at work...oh I miss Char Char today ;( I hope you are having a good first day at work!

Ok I have to go, waiting on self tanner to dry and uhh I am starving no breakfast yet.

BBL everyone! Have a good Monday!
 
Diane, {{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}} for you and your DH. I'm so sorry about your kitten. They really steal their way into your heart, don't they? I had to put down one of my cats a couple of years ago and I still get teary eyed when I think about him. You gave your little kitty a wonderful home and I hope you will find some comfort in that knowledge. You didn't bring anyone down. I'm glad you said something. That's what we're here for! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Michele
 
August...I am sooo sorry I forgot about you...it's a blonde thing I swear!
Glad to see we have found you again, I hope the search and rescue made it to you in time...hhehaeee...hahhhhaaaa...:p

How is the shoulder? Give us the update.
 
Diane I am so, so sorry about your kitten. I know what you are going through and it is difficult to deal with. I know that there aren't any words that I can say to make you feel better but I just wanted to let you know that I am here for you if you need to talk. I had to have to of my babies put down. Malachi my kitty was about 2 and Daizi my dobe was 15.
 
Thanks so much everyone for their kind words. I am crying at my desk now, I had to close the door. I take comfort knowing she had the best life possible, we spoiled her rotten. Everyone in my family got a chance to meet her and loved her.
 
Oh Diane..sending you some really big hugs right now.

Happy birthay Michele!
Diane, I am so sorry about your kitten. Cat lover here. I have five and would hate to lose any of them
Cardio--I started out with Stepblast. Gee whiz, no wonder we hate cardio. This was the hardest to follow. I gave it up and did Stepworks instead. All those crew members of Cathe's are really small and perfect looking. I would like to submit myself to work in her DVD's. She needs someone big, clumsy and a real workout dufus. I need someone to relate to.
Have a nice day!!!
Remember, cardio is your friend (barf)
 
Ha Kate! I'll be other dufus in the video standing next to you. In the back of course! :p

I just got back from my walk. I was walking pretty fast so I hope I don't smell! HA! If so, my co-worker will be the poor soul having to deal with it. Tonight I've got to get something in. I'm thinking coremax and something short. We've got a 6:00 soccer game tonight.

Have a great day everyone!
 
Dana--your boys are adorable and you have a baby! Wow, you are busy busy busy. My younger daughter is six already and I am so glad that she is that far. I have had so many people tell me children get harder the older they are, but I disagree. My oldest is out of the carseat and that alone makes things so much easier!!
Start getting ready for the dufus workout. The nice thing is that we won't have to practice for it!
 
Oooohhhh, no dufus work out would be complete without me! I'm the queen of dufuses (is that a word?)

Dana, Jana, Diane, August, Kate...thank you all for your birthday wishes. You are all so sweet, really! It's been such a pleasure getting to know you. I haven't done any cardio yet today, but I'm kinda sorta thinking about it--lol! I spent kind of a lazy day. I had to renew my drivers license, then I took myself to lunch at one of my favorite little sandwich joints, then I spent the afternoon perusing my favorite antique mall. My DH called me twice today from Germany:+ . I cannot wait until he gets home. For those of you who asked, he gets back tomorrow evening and I think he's just as anxious to get home as I am to have him back.

Toasty, I hope your first day on the job went well. I can't wait to hear about it.

I hope you have a good evening and I'll see you gals later.

Michele
 
Happy Birthday, Michele! Hope your day is going good! I am sitting here sipping on hot tea. It is so friggin' cold out for this time of the year. I think it is in the 50's and very gray and drizzly outside.

Work was nice. Alot of watching and learning for this week. Next week, I am on my own. Think I will be fine though. Such a slow paced bank with few customers and the girls are so friendly and helpful. If I have a problem...they will be right there. So nice to know when your starting out. I think I will have to get my workouts in when I get home since I have to go in so early. I honestly don't think I can lift heavy so early in the morning so I am gonna have to do it when I get home, after 3pm. On fridays, I will work out before I leave cuz I don't have to go in until 11am, but off at 6pm. Sure doesn't give me much time for anything else, does it? I have off on the weekends, but hope I don't get stuck just cleaning and mowing on my days off...that would stink!

You didn't renew your license until today? Hmmm, here in CA it takes at least four weeks to get an appt to take the every some years written test, or you can take your chances and wait in line for three hours. Are things different in OH?

We don't have to take a written test unless we allow our license to lapse. All we have to do is go to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles where they administer an eye test. As long as you pass that, you're good to go. I think if your license expires you have to take a written test and possibly a drivers test, but I wouldn't swear to that.

I have learned the trick to a good picture. I swear I take the best DL pics...but there is a secret to my success....always be so nice to the DL people, start talking away to them, talk about kids, dogs, cats, etc and I swear they will take a good picture and if you don't like the first one, they will take it until you do like it. I did 4 re-do's last time and every time some one sees my DL pic, they remark on how good it is. Never fails.
