Good Morning!

Im up early to get another workout in. My running partner stopped by yesterday and picked up CC #5&8 so she could download them and she never brought them back:confused: I was hoping to do #5 today.

AND my other BF came by and picked up Insanity to try:( Oh dear...everything I have is gone:(:(:(:D She called and wanted to know is she could try one disc but I didn't want to take them out of the package so when her DH stopped by I just gave them all to him. I will be interested to she what she thinks. I wouldn't have done them this a.m anyway, I don't have the energy for that:eek:

Laura** sounds like you had a good b-day!:) Nice to hear and even better about the winnings!!!!! what did you buy? and did you have to share with DH???

Wendy** How are you feeling today? I was wondering what happened to you. I thought maybe you had a little thread started and you were the only one checking in!! haha!

O.k...I will bbl! Have a good one everybody!!

Lori:)
 
Morning Girls.

I left out the "good" part on purpose. My head is clogged to high heaven, I have a phlegm ball in my throat, I can feel some heaviness in my chest, I have a bit of a cough and am feeling pretty exhausted more often then not. At times I feel like I could be developing a fever but that feeling comes and goes. Ewww. I hate this! :mad:

I bought some Airborne so I took that several times y'day and knocked myself out around 9pm with Nyquil. I slept like a rock except for getting up at about 2am to pee and blow my nose. I am only up now b/c Joey came downstairs and disturbed us just after 5 and then I couldn't fall back to sleep cause I knew I didn't even have an hour left. ACK.

That being said, there is no work out on tap for me. Perhaps if I feel okay later I will try to bang out a short weight work out or something but no cardio for me today, that's for sure. :(

Lori, We had many a bed for our Golden but finally gave up. All he did was lay in them and chew on them until they got torn up and needed to be replaced. He never really slept in one so we finally gave up. He sleeps in our room on the floor next to the bed. I wanted him to sleep with Joey but you can't teach a not-so-old dog new tricks. He won't stay up there. Oh well. Don't you know better then to lend out your prized work outs!? Only lend out the ones you aren't crazy about or have no intentions of doing for a long time or just don't do often in general for whatever reason. You'll NEVER catch me lending any of my faves out! I've lent out stuff b4 and it always take a long time to get it back. A friend of mine has 2 of my kettlebell dvds right now in fact. She's had them for over a month. We are supposed to be getting together tmrw night at which point she is to return them to me but our plans could get cancelled or she could forget. Good thing for me that they aren't 2 of my more important work outs!

Jen, So please do tell! Did your GF give the low down on her results from the rotation!? So she is starting another rotation back to back with the first one!? I give her props! Sounds crazy but maybe she'll inspire us! ;) So what's up with your foot, girl? Is it from so much pounding with all of the high impact work Shaun does? You know I found a bruise on the bottom of my foot right in the arch not that long ago. It doesn't hurt but I gotta wonder if it was created by all of the pounding as well!?!? Not that it's gonna stop me. NO WAY! I was just sayin'! LOL

Jacque, Glad the move is over with! Have fun squeezing in all those work outs! You can do it! ;)

Laura, Wow sounds like a fab B'day weekend! Congrats on the casino winnings! That's awesome! I wish that would happen to me!!!! Thanks re my Insanity results. I just hope I don't eat my results away while I'm trying to get over being sick here. :eek:

Guess that's all for now.

Hope everyone has a great day.
 
Hey Girls!

Done with my workout. I did CC #3, 2 x's through.

Im a bit off today. DD keeps finding herself in more trouble. Is it that hard to make the right choice. She knew what her consquences were going to be if she choose to drink again. REALLY...at age 13 should they be at this stuff! Give me a break. It was only Fri night I was giving her a hard time and telling her not to do anythig wrong and she actually got ticked with me b/c I was giving her a hard time...then 2 nights later, guess what she decides to do. One of the guys who works at DH's store said that she is texting boys in grade 11 and 12....so I guess I have to take her cell phone away from her to. Everything she does, she pushes to the max! You give her a inch, she takes a foot! WITH EVERYTHING! I feel like sitting down and bawling my eyes out...but I can't cause Im ready for work.

Wendy** Uh....(((healing vibes))) com'in your way! How bout you give me the cold and you can have DD? I only load my workouts out for the DAY and its only cause she is my BF. If it were ANYONE else I would have had to tell them that I was doing a rotation with them or something. She will probably drop them off again today.

O.k...gotta jet!

Lori:)
 
Hi ladies,

I couldn't sleep Sunday night and was draggin' all day yesterday. I had a terrible headache all day long. I was supposed to be in a class all week this week. They were having technical difficulties and so we were released and asked to come back at 2pm. Then at 11:30 I got an email to come back at 1pm...at 11:45 I got another email saying they were still having problems. I was supposed to get an email letting me know if class was on for today but I checked this morning and don't have any news. I've decided I'm doing my w/o and going in at 9, my normal time.

I missed my Insanity w/o on Sunday since I was gone most of the day but did manage spin class. OMG, this was the toughest ride so far. My quads were on fire. I'm back on schedule with the rotation and am doing CPR this morning.

Laura-I'm so happy you won on your bday weekend. That makes it all the more fun!!! Way to go.

Jen-I'm feeling much better today..after a rest day and a good nights sleep. It makes all the difference.

Lori-I've been burned a couple of times loaning out my w/o's. I was taking a class with one girl and loaned her a couple of my Cathe w/o's and then she wasn't in the next session of the class. I've ended up re-purchasing them. Sorry DD is getting into trouble. We didn't have any of those issues with the boys. Of course DS1 is 21 and has had a few drinks since his birthday but is not a big drinker. My boys all played sports so we got to know their friends and parents pretty well. All us parents looked out for all the kids. Nice w/o miss...you show us all up doing everything X2!!:D

Wendy-I hope you feel better soon. I too have this lingering cold, a lot sneezing and nose blowing going on here. I don't feel terrible but is dragging me down at times. I'm so looking forward to working out with Shaun this morning. BTW, do you have Shaun's Rockin' Abs? Would you recommend it? It looks like a lot of fun.

Jacque-Did you get DS all moved and settled in? Now you can see DGS's all the time. You'll probably get asked to babysit now too since you are much closer. I'm jealous.

Good morning girls!

Got up and did CPR this morning. I'm another one with a lingering head cold, so I suffered a bit with this workout this morning. It's done though, and it counts ;)

Lori: You are brave to be lending out your workout dvds like that! That is one thing I'm very stingey about. You won't see me lending my faves. Sorry to hear about your troubles with DD. It's such a difficult age! She's definitely young to be experimenting with alcohol IMO. Does she have older friends or friends with older sibs? I wish I had some sage advice for you...but I have no idea how I'd handle that :(

Wendy: My GF is already in fantasic shape, but she's seen a leaning out all over, with the most significant change in her waist/hips. She looks fantastic and I can see she's lost the little love handles. She's an exercise junkie like the rest of us though, and she believes that she just must work that hard to maintain. She didn't even do the recovery week, and plans on repeating month two from here on out until she doesn't want to anymore. I personally think it's a bit of overkill, but to each her own. I'm still looking forward to the X rotation combined with Insanity.

Not sure exactly what the pain in my feet is from, but my uneducated assessment is that it's a bit of tendonitis. Something must be up with my form, and I kind of think I'm doing something like lifting my toes on a lot of the moves and it's irritating a tendon that runs up the top of my foot along the outside of my ankle. Trying to work on that, and hoping the recovery week will just get rid of the pain altogether. It's not stopping me though, and if it's too bad a good dose of Advil knocks it out.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling any better today. Water, water, water, and more fluids! And rest. Seriously, just rest. You don't want to end up with pneumonia or something (which I say because my GF mentioned above has done that twice!!) SO REST DAMMIT :D

Diana: Sounds like you had a frustrating day yesterday! So we're almost done with Month 1! Can you believe it? It has gone by quite fast for me. Hope you get rid of the cold symptoms soon, too. I know exactly how you feel (yuck!).

Hello to Jacque and Laura! I'll bbs after accomplishing a few things~

Hello Ladies ..

Well .. last night was step/weight circuit class the guys were not there so it was a calm one .. it was HOT though .. and SIL had another spell .. felt faint and couldnt get her heart rate down .. she has lost 6 pounds since starting INSANITY and I dont think she is eating right ... I think it is her sugar level ... b/c of overexercising and not enough food .. she is doing what I am but I EAT .. my weight is living proof .. LOL .. I may have lost a couple of pounds but not many .. (have not weighed) .. but I could stand to loose a few pound .. SIL cnat .. she is thin to begin with I certainly didnt think she had 6 pounds TO loose .. :(

Wendy .. booo on not feeling well .. REST .. FLUIDS .. REST .... hope you feel better!!

Lori .. soooo sorry about DD .. hormones .. at age 13 I thought I was grown .. and ONLY wanted to go out w/older guys .. (which I was NOT allowed to date at all .. didnt stop me from thinking I could) .. UGH .. 13 .. HORRIBLE age .. you are trapped in a little girls world but want to be grown ... Hang in there .. set the rules .. stick by the punishment set .. I feel for you!!!

Di .. I bet spinning class is a thigh ripper .. I have always wanted to take one but would have to go to the next town over to find one!!

Jen .. hurt feet .. lingering head cold .. and you still did CPR .. WOW ... hope the feet and the head cold gets better ..

Jacque .. we finally got our cooler temps .. it is EXCELLENT out today .. high of 74 ... and tonight to get down to 52 :eek:

Ok .. so tonight is 4 step plyo - pushup - plank torture ... maybe the guys will show ... hope SIL doesnt have another spell .. I am gonna talk to my DB to watch her ... OK .. better run .. have a great day .. :D
 
Heya ladies !

I'm gonna dump a little bit here just to whine and make it go away so feel free to skip most of my pitty printing here ! :p Was very tired last night with no energy so skipped my workout. Today woke with a stomach ache though feeling OK now - won't have had much to eat so not sure if I'll get to my Insanity tonight or not - will play it by ear.

Just "found" my old VBF from jr. high & high school on FB (thanks for getting me over there girls !) and I'll be seeing her when we go away this weekend. But I just received an email from her telling me of her battles with cancer. :( Am sitting here teary eyed and am not sure how well I'll do when I see her. And I'm mad at myself for thinking of her sooo very often but not making a bigger effort to get in touch. Details are short but started with breast cancer in 2002 and just last fall was short of breath. Apparently there are breast cancer cells inside her lungs that they have been trying to kill since Sept and can't seem to do it yet. Pray for her ladies ! OK - sorry for the downer. Now I have to try to go back to work ? ? ? :confused:

Will try to hit personals later - need to eat my soup in case I have energy for Shaun after work. This downer may just motivate me to kick some AZZ ! :eek:
 
Hey Girls!

Beleive it or not, I just had a little cat nap at work:) I am feeling a little better re: the drama in my life:( I wasn't very good around lunch time, DD said she was going to live with her father. What a joke! The guy hasn't been around for 1 part of her life. Anyway, all that is cleared up as of now. I can't beleive the other day when I was having a good day with both kids, I actually thought that 3 might be a good idea:eek: Can someone please remind me of THIS if I ever have a day like that again?

And now DH is getting on my nerves. How many times in one day does someone have to ask "what time are you getting off"?:mad:

O.k...I will shut up now! I am having a cup of java, hoping that it will help keep me awake for the next 5 hrs and to have enough energy to make it through supper with the fam.

Wendy** How are you feeling now? Still no workout?

Diana** I wouldn't loan my workouts out to just anyone and I wouldn't loan out anything i was using at the time. But I knew they were safe in her hands. She called today and said that she would drop them off when she went out. I think she enjoyed the challenge but I don't think she wants to buy them or anything.

Jacque** So sorry to hear about your friend. Maybe you can forget that you haven't been a part of her life for the last little while and you can be there for her now when she needs you!

Laura** It always amazes me how people who don't need to lose weight, magically do. No wonder she is fainting! DD acts older, therefore she wants to hang out with people who are older. Not girls, just guys. As soon as she was in jr high she took a liking to the boys in grade 9, now that she is in grade 8 she likes the boys in grade 11.....not happening!

Jen** Good job getting your workout done even though you don't feel 100%. Im hoping to stay away from any bugs until my race is over. That would really suck if I woke up a couple of days before the race with the icky flu!

I may bbl. If not, I will bb tomorrow!

Lori:)
 
No work out. Feeling like dog doo minus the fever. Taking Airborne and sinus med during the day and Nyquil at night. If I don't feel better soon I may consider going to the doctor. I'm not one to run there especially for what I think is probably just a cold but the fear of getting a sinus infection is lingering in me so I may play it safe and just go anyway! We'll see! Gonna be a lazy couch potato evening for me. Been doing it on and off all day anyway so why stop now? :p Actually, I had a little upswing this afternoon and was able to get some laundry and housework done so I really don't feel too bad about being totally lazy! Easy breezy dinner-ravioli and garlic bread for the boys and a salad and piece of ww bread with smart balance on it for me. Sucking down the green tea and trying not to drink too much coffee. Trying to drink water as well.

Well, I better go lay down before DH thinks I feel better and expects me to DO SOMETHING! ;) :D

Good night ladies~I'll catch up with personals in the morning!
 
Wendy: Feel better!!

Jacque: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend :( I think you two had some angels on your side and led you back to one another just when she needed you most. There's a reason for everything...forget the past and what could've been, you're here now when it matters most. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

Lori: I'm glad to hear you're feeling a little better :D

Laura: You scared the boys away, it's official!! What is up with SIL??? Get that girl a pizza, will you? Seriously though, I hope she feels better fast. She's probably is hypo or something and needs to take care of herself a bit better. I remember getting that way after recovering from my ED. For years I couldn't let myself get hungry or I'd get all shaky and feel like I was gonna pass out, vigorous exercise or not. Now eating every couple hours is such a habit that I rarely get that way anymore. I think it's just a matter of paying better attention to what you need. Regardless, I think it's a good idea to put DB on watch ;)

Just had a giant garden salad with salmon on it at the Tavern. Feeling quite full and satisfied, and am thinking a nice coffee would be perfect right about now. Off to make it. Will bb in the a.m. ~
