Insane Damage Control on Hump Day~

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Chickadees.

Feeling much better this morning as I went to bed earlier last night and slept straight through. It's wonderful when one can fall asleep and STAY asleep! lol

This morning's work out will be either Firm It Up or Body Strikes. Either way, I'll be workin' the legs today!

HoHo: There are a few rotations listed in the book but here is the one I am doing. It's the most advanced one:

Shape It Up
Firm It Up
Mix It Up
Tone It Up
Cool It Off
Tear It Up
Stretch

I'll be back in a bit to finish personals!

Lori:: So you are Christmas decoration girl at work? Bahumbug! Tell 'em you quit! lol Glad the scale is being nice to you but I'm not surprised. Your scale rarely gives you lip. I want one just like it!

Laura:: Glad you are finally feeling better. Smart to take another rest day if your first work out back didn't agree with you. DH is all better now right? I thought I read that a little while back. So happy. I was nervous for him when I read how sick he was. So I am going back to my roots with this new job....COLLECTIONS! In fact, it's for my boss from my last job! He called me up and asked me if I was still looking for work! He always said he'd look me up if he ever needed help and ofcourse, when I was looking for a job he didn't need anyone and then I lost touch with him b/c he left the job he was at and went to work some where different so I didn't talk to him for like a year! Finally got a job and low and behold he calls! Murphy's law I tell ya! LOL It's an incredible offer for me so I have to give it a shot. I feel bad leaving my current job because I just got "settled" there and now they will have to find someone new but they will be okay. They always are. I am also sad about leaving my VBF. It's always been fun working with her and I was super excited to get to do it again and now I am leaving after only a few months. There are also some perks to the job I am in now that I won't get at the new place but the new place has perks like A LOT MORE MONEY and bennies that my current place will NEVER give me and when it comes down to it, they are more important then the perks I will be leaving...

Diana:: What did you think of Travel Fit? I like it a lot. My friend completely gets my decision to leave. Ofcourse she is sad to see me go on several leaves but she would never begrudge me success and is happy for me. My tentative start date is the 25th of this month but it may be adjusted depending on how things play out with the hiring process for the new place. Glad you are enjoying Precision Nutrtion. I hope when you decide to put her principals to use that it works for you and you reach your goals.

Jacque:: Sorry your puppy isn't doing well. I know how heart breaking that is. I feel bad about leaving the new job but believe that, especially in this day and in age, when you compare the 2 jobs, almost ANYONE would make the same decision I am making and I know that they understand my choice and wish me nothing but the best.

Ok, I think I'm caught up now. Time to grab a quick snack and get to my work out! BBL or in the morning!

Good Morning!

I am a tad bit sleepy this morning. We got in the hot tub last night and DH had the tv hooked up outside as well because of the hockey game. When that was over TBL came on. I was wondering when it would start again cause its always in the new year. Anyway, I started watching it and couldnt stop. Some big folks on this years show. I think the biggest was over 500 lbs, made the 300 lbs people look small. It always amazes me when someone lets themselves get that big. I usually have a 5 lbs window but how do you put on 100s of pounds and not notice. They always seem to say " I didnt realize I was this big" How can you not know? Did you not look in the mirror or have to buy new clothes in the last 10 yrs? I felt so sorry for them though. Each one of them had their own story....and they were so young. Mostly 30 yr olds. I realized it wasnt over until 2:30 so I went to bed.

Im on DDs little laptop and its driving me nuts. There are certain keys that I keep hitting and the computer starts jumping either up or down the page.

Todays workout will be disc 2 and a run I would imagine. I have my neice this a.m and I have a few things I need to do so I will go out with them, plus my mom is here.

I wish I could track my cathe package We didnt get a shipping notice but I ordered them on the 29th, not sure when they would have been shipped. We didnt even get a email saying they were shipped. I had to go to my account to see what was going on! I dont like that kind of stuff. Even if they couldnt give me a tracking # because of where I live, they could have atleast sent me an email.

Wendy** When will you know more about the job? Cant wait to find out all the details!!! Im guessing you will be working FT?

Im going to read yesterdays thread, then I will return!

O.k.....

Laura** Glad to hear you are still alive!! Starting to wonder what happened to you? Did you enjoy your holidays despite the fact that you and DH were sick? No fun at all!! Im sure you will get rid of those 5 lbs in no time. My coworker told me that I am the only one he knows who loses weight christmas time. Maybe I would have ate and drank more if I wasnt working flat out!

Wendy** It seems as if when you start something at my work, then you get stuck with it. Im sure if things change this year re:staff, then someone else will want to decorate next yr. Not only that, if they hire some young girl...I will take my holidays chrstimas time! The owners now let us go on call christmas time but who knows, the new owners may want us there for our full shift. What they dont know wont hurt um cause there is no way I am staying in that building for 12 hours on Christmas day.

Jacque** Let us know how your pup does? It doesnt sound good, How old is she? Hope things arent to crazy for you today!

Diana** 13 isnt to bad...its only 1 or 2 here but still no snow. Its not good for people who are in the snowclearing, snowmobile selling business! We will probably get hit hard real soon.

So my mom and I started taking down decorations last night and its pretty much down. I should have it finished by lunch time, then I cant get ready to clean for the b-day party tomorrow.

I may bbl!

Hi Ladies,

We had dinner with Amanda's family last night at Buffalo Wild Wings for her younger brother's 18th birthday. We had a nice time and I got to visit with her mom for a bit.

After breakfast and showering this morning I will need to pack my bag for the airport. It's been a nice break for me and good to spend time with my oldest DS.

I plan on starting the new STS rotation tomorrow and am looking forward to it. Not sure what to expect since I'm not going to do the 1 rep max test again. I'm going start with my previous weights from the last time I did this rotation.

Wendy-I also slept great last night. After staying up til 1am the previous night it was well deserved. I really liked Travel Fit, especially the ab section-it was awesome.

Jacque-sorry your dog isn't doing any better. Glad to hear DH is getting in a full day although it interferred with the vet appt. Get your workouts in when you can. Life gets in the way sometimes but we need to stay as consistent as possible. Are you looking forward to starting STS tomorrow??? I hope so!

Lori-I think you should at the very minimum get a ship notice so you know when it went out. Is this the only site you don't receive a ship notice from? Have fun with the kids today. It sounds like you are following the STS rotation too.

Hi Jen and Laura, I may be back here tonight after I get home.

LOL .. cant believe I just said that .. I am sure prbly wont accumulate much .. but will be fun to see .. down here we have to worry about ice .. it will shut everything down b/c so many trees ..

Wendy ... WTG on the job .. sad to leave BF .. but I am sure she knows you would be crazy not to take job w/more money .. especially THAT much of an increase ....

Lori ... good luck w/bday party preperations ... I want your scales too ... LOL .. but somehow I dont think it would read the same for me .. LOL

Di .. have a safe trip .. sounds like you REALLY enjoyed yourself ..

Jacque .. sending good healing vibes for your pup .. is this the same one the older one that had prblms a while back??? I hope you get good news .. dont worry about workouts .. they will fall in place soon enough .. I will be right there with you playing catch up ..

Ended up doing Firm It Up (minus the ab work) plus most of the intervals from CLX Fat Burn Challenge this morning!

Tomorrow will be Mix It Up.

Heading to the store soon. I'll be back with personals later on or in the morning!

Ciao Bellas!

Hey Girls!

Busy...busy day! I almost have everything done. I have DH cleaning downstairs while I check in! LOL He has to do SOMETHING, right? I put DS to bed and had a little cat nap so DH started in while I was sleeping. I need it though.

The party doesn't start until 5:30 tomorrow so I am hoping my day won't be to crazy. I have all the balloons blowen up so now I have to put them up but b/c DS is such a balloon freak, I will have to wait until the last minute.

I went for a run outside today. I didn't think I was going to get a workout in at all but when DD came home from school I asked her to watch DS for a few mins so I could get a run in. She had to be at v-ball pratice at 4:30 so I only squeezed a 9 k run in. But that was better then nothing. Which means I am behind on my STS rotation already

So my mom was here...which you guys know about and its so bitter sweet. Such a weird relationship. I love my mom and she is a good mom, she always means well but it seems like whatever I am doing or whatever I am about to do, there is always a better way of doing it. No matter what it is. And its not just that, she is always telling me what to do. Like today we were out and about and I was going to pick mcdonalds up for the kids and she thinks that they should share their meal instead of having their own. I told her that my running partner was going to TX for a marathon and she asked "how much is that costing her" What a strange questions to ask. I don't have a clue how much it is costing her. I was gonna make shortbread cookies but so and so has a really good recipe, do you use waxpaper with yours? Drop them by spoonfuls? Meanwhile, she as never tasted these cookies herself but she is suggesting that I make those instead of the ones I normally make. The dog barks when she comes in last night and she makes more noise telling the dog to be quiet then the dog made to begin with. I have to bite my tongue so much when she is around b/c I know I will feel bad after she leaves. The last time she was here she decided to iron clothes on my kitchen table...now I have a big white spot on my table b/c she melted the varnish on it. She folds clothes straight out of the dryer thats still damp. While I was making supper on Tues evening, which is madness enough, she wants to start laundry, when I tell her no she suggest taking down the christmas tree. I know all these things seem so small but its minute after minute of this and that...then something else. I know she is just trying to help but a compliment wouldn't hurt either.


Laura** Sounds like you had a good workout yesterday. Snow? I think we have your weather This climate is very strange!

Diana** When will you get to see the girls again? Hope you have a safe flight.

DH wants to go for a walk now and then get in the hot tub....its almost 11 o'clock
