Morning Girls and TGIF for sure!!!!

Lori:: Ewww, nothin' ruins a good cup o' java like too much sugar! So you are right, I did nap y'day but for only TEN MINUTES! I intended to lay down for about half an hour but I fell asleep and when I woke up 10 mins later that was all she wrote. GRRRR. Yet by the time I got into work I was exhausted again.

Jacque:: Good luck with the possible job opportunity! *fingers crossed for you!* Nope, no hangover y'day. Just very very VERY tired! My friend that I went out with was draggin' too. Too old to party like the young kids I suppose! Glad PT went well and good job banging out MIP afterwards! You rock! Yeah, I enjoy NMTZ. It was just what the doctor ordered for yesterday.

Diana:: So are you gonna give the earlier friday run a go? I am dying to try the M1 Insanity work outs too! They've GOT to be easier now!! So how did you fair with MIC y'day? As you can see, I decided to blow it off!

Laura:: I hear ya on the beers flowing easily. If I didn't have to sober up for the ride home that night, I could have had another 2 w/o a problem I'll bet! Glad the pot roast was yummier then you even thought it would be.

Lori:: How old is your DD? Yeah, that's a lot of calories for breakfast. LOL I am sure she burned it up in no time though. Aaaaaahhhh, the wonders of being young! Even at 21 my metabolism (w/o exercise) was a far cry from what it is now! There was a time that I ate McDonalds for lunch 5 days a week for months and didn't gain an ounce! Too bad I can't do that now!

Jen:: Heheheh. You got that right! 4 beers and my neck was golden! I have a friend who would always go out drinking when he had a cold b/c he said after so many beers, he felt like a champ! LOL Well it's finally friday which means everything you busted your ass to prepare for this week happens today! Hope your day goes well! I expect to see you here this weekend, missy. We miss you when you are not around!

So I'll be gearin' up for MIC here in a few minutes. I was hurtin' y'day. Sooooo tired. I almost fell asleep on the couch while I was texting with a friend of mine but then I was "dragged" on to FB to chat instead. Can't fall asleep very easily while sitting up in a computer chair. LOL I think I crawled into bed between 9:30 and 10:00. I never even budged when DH came in from bowling. I was PASSED OUT! Got up at 5:30 and feel good this morning! YAY!

BBL!

Finally...Im back! DS pulled me into another part of the house, of course so I did a few things I had to do before I came back.

Wendy** Glad to hear you are feeling better today. You had a good night last night!! I love waking up in the morning knowing, that I will have no trouble making it through the day. When my boss isn't around I will have a little cat nap in the chair but the past 2 days I didn't feel like I needed it. DD will be 14 in March. I guess like everyone she is caught up in the # that looks back at her. Guessing she also thinks that working out is for people who want to lose weight and not for a healthy liftstyle. The only activity she is getting now is v-ball practice and thats only once or twice a week. She has 2 dance classes a week but they aren't fast moving by no means. Hope you have a good workout!

Jen** Oh...the gatherings! Story of my life! Family gatherings that is. I think they have finally gotten the hint that we like to do our own thing so my inlaws eat together more often then we eat with them. Just to much. Also have nan and the neighbours to go along with it everytime...no joke! Hope you have a good evening!

Jacque** Yes, DD and I have had these same discussions in the past. Im not sure what she is thinking. I think she looks at me as an older sister and not her mother, maybe? Im also alot younger then most of the moms she knows b/c they are all in their 40's while I am just entering my 30's. I suppose some day she will be happy to show me off Like when Im 60 and she is 43! LOL

Alright, I will bbl to report my workout. I have to go to the mall and pick up something for my dad to give my mom for her b-day. She wouldn't buy it herself the other day when she seen it and she had full intentions of getting dad to buy it for her...just more work for me!

I did it! MIC is done! I pushed and it hurt and I'm happy it's over! I finished the work out at 8 and am just eating now. I usually never wait that long to eat after a work out so I am HUNGRY!

Lori:: I don't think I was overly concerned with my weight yet at 13-14 yrs old. I think that was about the time I began thinning out actually so I didn't need to be concerned. I really started watching after gaining 10# at college! Ever since then my weight has ranged anywhere from 125 to about 140! I was 115 when I graduated from high school. Those were the days! LOL

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FRIDAY GIRLS ! ! ! ! !

Well I wrote a book last night so not much to say this AM other than I think I'll hit a FB workout today after work. Something heavy perhaps as long as the day goes well. I fell asleep shortly after 9 and slept like a newborn baby. Feels so nice to sleep through the night. Sure hope I can do it when the meds run out?

Wendy - good to hear you are in tip top shape this AM. I popped in MIC last night and realized it was what I did on Tues so *quickly switched* it for MIP ! Not doing MIC twice in a row. Sometimes I wish the M2 were shorter so thinking that I'll be using M1 more in the future. Seems I hear HIIT should be 25 - 30 min and M2 sure stretches that one out. So are you happy it is Friday now that you are more of a "working girl" too ?

Lori - Well sometimes you get tired of chasing DS around but look how he gets you to do your chores by running into different rooms. Perhaps he is smarter than you think? I think society puts it in people's minds that once you are older you don't need to take care of yourself or it is OK not to. That is why there are those sayings "40 is the new 30" or "50 is the new 40". Because some of us *oldies but goodies* p) are actually taking care of ourselves these days. I constantly have people tell me they can't believe I'm over 50, that I look like I am 10 years younger. Surprises me because of my facial wrinkles, but the body isn't doing too badly these days. Truth be told, if I don't do downward dog so you can see how the skin on my leg sags eek then my physique really doesn't look any different than it did in my 30's. That is probably the mindset many of the kids have because so many of their parents have "let themselves go". I do think she will be happy you are not like the majority and it won't take until she is 43 ! It is amazing how quickly our kids realize reality once they start hitting their 20's. I am constantly surprised at mine and the things they say and do because I really thought they were totally clueless no matter how much I "taught" them. Much really did sink in. OK - enough (again!).

Hey to the rest of you. Will BBL to check in.

Hi Ladies,

Last night was the first workout of the meltdown class. It was great. We did a circuit, strength moves then 25 plyo jacks. My legs felt like jello by the end. At the end of class another gal and I ran 5 sets of stairs, 5 laps, 5 sets of stairs. I had it in my mind that we would be running stairs...but that wasn't part of the workout last night. I slept really good last night.

Many of the ladies in this class were also in the summer bootcamp class. They were all telling me how great I look, wanting to know how much weight I've lost. Since the beg of Oct. I've lost 6lbs and holding since starting Insanity and those pounds were lost in the first 3 weeks. My weight hasn't changed much since I've seen them last. It was nice to hear just the same.

I've been taking Jerod with me to the rec center and he plays basketball. He's always a sweaty mess when we leave so I know he's been workin'! He's in between sports right now and it's important for him to keep moving.

Lori-I'm sure DD will be fine. She has you has a great role model. Thirteen is a hard age, especially for girls. Girls really need to be comfortable in their own skin no matter what their size, but also realize the health benefits of exercise. At 13 she is still growing and she needs to understand that. While I was perusing my printed out rotations last night, I came across one you shared with Charlotte...OMG is all I can say. It looks like I did about 2 weeks of it.

Wendy-I never heard back from potential running partner so no early run for me today. I felt really bad yesterday because I ended up spending too much time on the pc and didn't have time for MIC...I really wasn't in the mood for it anyway. Glad that you missed out on it too. I got my P90X back too. I may put together my own rotation using P90X and Insanity-M1 w/o's.

I gotta get started on my w/o or I'll miss it again...

Hi Laura, Jen, Jacque!

Happy Friday

Morning Ladies ..

I am in another office today ... not real busy .. so have a chance to post early!!!! Last night's class was great .. my knee did ok .. i was super easy on it .. and took my time "placing" the position of it .. and it did fine .. If I get sloppy or not paying attention I will flex it past where that tear is and it hurts .. but if I watch it I think I can still do and try to baby it at the same time .. I am gonna TRY and Insanity w.o tmrw .. but I may have to skip my Insanity w/o till the knee is better .. think at lunch I am going to do Insanity recovery ..

Lori .. I work in a large electric company - we also sell appliances .. I am in customer service and collections .. and collections have been a night mare .. and NO I our economy has NOT recovered that is media BS pushed by the current administration (dont even get me started) .. jobless rates have topped 10% accross the country today .. but locally our industries have had MAJOR layoffs .. no one has money and most dont have a job it is very frustrating and depressing .. and I am the BAD GUY .. you know!! aahhhhhh ..no wonder I drink .. LOL!!! and re: your DD - ooohhh ..13 was a VERY hard age for me .. and b/c my friends were more developed than me .. I felt very out of place .. and longed for boobs .. and a body .. but I looked like a kid .. soooooo my body image issues did start around that age .. and there may be some jealousy on her part b/c her mom is a hottie .. just cut her some slack .. and reassure her of her beauty .. and teach her to live fit and eat clean like her mom .. one day she will know that is the best gift you could have given her!!!!

Wendy .. glad you are feeling more yourself today ... WTG on MIC .. woohoo .. hoping I can bang out a good INSANITY workout tmrw ...

Jen .. yes i have been inundated in bankruptcies ... chpt 13 .. every day I get one or 2 on my desk ... it is SAD .. and it is SCARY ... I thought the new laws passed were gonna make it harder for people to file bankruptcies ... but i guess they dont have any other choices now in this economy!! SAD ..
