Insanity is necessary for good Damage Control!!! Thursday!

[Fit_mommy]

Good Morning Chic-a-dees.

I am going to be a bit on the tired side today. I went out for dinner and proceeded to drink A LOT of red sangria. It was sooooo good! I didn't get plastered but definitely had a good buzz going. I also went to bed a bit late and didn't sleep soundly at all. *yawn* Thankfully though, I do not have a hang over. YAY me! lol

Still deciding if I will try to bang out my work out (MIP) early this morning or before work. Doing it early sounds appealing to get it over with but I don't know if it will realistically happen...time will tell!

So now that I got through yesterday with out having a break down or a melt down, I am much calmer about work. Still nervous cause it's new and lots to learn but I think I'm "normal" nervous now instead of panicked like I was yesterday so that's good atleast. lol

Okay, let me get this posted before Lori comes in and ruins it for me!

BBL!

Top o'the mornin' to you loverly fine ladies !

Not sure where that came from but the fingers just decided to type it so, oh well !

Yesterday was going fine but after I got back from my meeting my head "blew up" and I was in horrible pain. Just tried all I could to relieve the pressure and layed down for the evening - No Workout to report AGAIN ! I know one of these days I'll get there but it is soooooo frustrating to take these days of cuz they are out of my control ! Rant over and done !

Laura - so so sorry about SIL's pup and the flu shot reaction. That's such a bummer ! Good to hear you're doing better. I'm in total agreement about not getting the weights in there - it is affecting me in some ways and allowing some pains to return that the lifting had helped go away. And I'm so far behind with Insanity M2 it is getting pitiful. Oh well . . .

Wendy - Yippee it wasn't too bad after all. I know how you feel cuz every once in a while I fill in at our reception desk at lunch, so quite a bit fewer calls, but it is kinda scary when lots of lines ring all at once. I know you can multi-task so it will come to you after a little practice. I enjoyed being a legal secretary - never a dull moment, that's for sure ! Hope the "partyin'" last night doesn't drag you down today - yum, sangria sounds scrumptious, even this early in the AM !

Diana - hope the stomach is better today. Sorry for the yuckiness - haven't had a stomach bug for a very long time. Our company brings in a flu clinic every year and I'm usually first in line. Am contemplating the H1N1 also when it is available. I soooo dislike stomach bugs ! Good you got nearly all your workout in though - way to go !

Jen - only one more day 'til Friday ! I'm waiting for Saturday also. I'm so anxious for a "normal" workweek I could almost cry . . . I can't imagine working out in 30' but the low 50's sounds nice so the sweat doesn't drip quite so fast?

Lori - how are things for you today? Haven't seen any DS stories lately so he must be doing pretty well? (Or should I have asked? ). How are your legs and what have you been doing workout wise?

Off to work and crossing fingers today is my day for a workout ! ! ! !

 

[Fit_mommy]

Yay! I got MIP done between 7 & 8 this morning so I don't have to worry about it now!

Jacque:: Sorry about the headache y'day. That stinks. It's tough when you had a run of no work outs. I didn't exercise for 3 days in a row last week (thur-sat) and it about killed me!

Hello Ladies ..

I am feeling better today .. but have a crappy stuffy head .. drainage .. sinus clogged head .. YUCK!!! But no fever .. so I am good - I did manage to teach my regular plyo class .. and it felt good sweating it out ... and I felt strong! today is a total rest day .. getting my hair done after work .. so SIL is teaching for me ... her arm does have a heck of a knot in it ... ?????

Wendy .. so glad the panic attack was unfounded and you had a good work day!! I hate getting panicked!! Working for a lawyer has got to be interesting .. imagine at times it will be super busy ..but I have faith in you .. you can handle it!! I indulged in some CABS last night .. DH ticked me off .. he was being a JERK last night .. started midnights and he was ILL and he took it out on me .. JERK!

Jacque .. seems we all have some sort of bug hanging onto us . . makes one wonder if we aren't spreading cyber bugs dont worry .. once your schedule and head clear you will be back on your feet and get your exercise schedule back on track!

Di .. hoping your tummy issues are better ... mine are not yet .. but I FEEL better .. so I am good w/that!!

Lori .. hoping your bug is better .. no funnies from DS??? Is he going to dress up for Halloween .. what is he going to be???

Hi Ladies,

Jerod and I both had to get fillings yesterday, and by last night my mouth was killing me and I had a terrible headache. I took some ibuprofen and slept great.

I'm working from home today and am able to get so much done. I'm on my 3rd load of laundry and hope to clean the master bath today too. My family likes it when I work from home since I also cook dinner and we can eat as a family!

Well my stomach is feeling a little better today. I got up and did MIP. I hope it isn't just me, but this rotation is wearing on me. I almost want to just stop now and start something else. There's just over 2 weeks left so I'm trying to make myself finish. These workouts just are not getting any easier. I miss weight training too.

I had my weigh in today and am up .4. I know it's because I've been eating chocolate chips.

Wendy-you've joined the rest of us early morning exercisers!! Hope you love your new job. Once you get used to everything you won't stress about it.

Jacque-sorry about the killer headache and another missed workout. You just can't worry about what you've missed, it simply causes more stress in an already stressful environment. When you are up to it, just jump right back in where you left off. I did get a flu shot last week, not sure about the H1N1 vaccine though. They don't have much of it here in Colorado. They are giving it on a priority basis right now, healthcare employees, parents of children 6mos or younger, pregnant women etc.

Laura-Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Time change...hmmm, good question. I'll have to look into that.

Hi to Jen and Lori...what are you two up to today?

Hi Girls!

Late checkin for me! I slept in this a.m so no workout to report yet today but I am hoping to get one in tonight when DS goes to bed. Poor thing woke up at 1'ish crying, when DH went to get him he was behind his rocking chair hid away. Im willing to bet it had something to do with the fact that he watched about 10 mins of the Transformers with DH last night. You never know when they get to the age where they are afraid of stuff.

I have been kept buy all day. I have been at work but had a dental apt at 2:30, a filling and polishing. My mouth is only just starting to wake up now. I also have a flight here now and they are never in a hurry to leave so while they are hanging out, I will check in with you guys...then Im outta here!

Wendy** Did you get tired today, due to all the wine?? You silly gal, drinking on a weekday when you have to work the next day. Your not 18 anymore you know

Jacque** I haven't done to many workouts this week, mainly b/c I was cripple all week I did weights on Tues and a 4.6 mile run yesterday. Tonight I am hoping to do another run and 4DS shoulders 2x's. I am following one of FF rotations.
I take it you are feeling better today? I don't normally plan rest days, I usually go by how I feel b/c I know that if I plan a rest day, I will be sick the next day or something

Laura** Glad to hear you are feeling better as well. DS is gonna be a lion for Halloween, me thinks. Not 100% sure though. I don't think he is going to enjoy all the ghost and gobbles this year. He is starting to get wimpy! LOL

Diana** Fillings all around Whenever you say you have an apt, then so did I! I really don't know how anyone could stick to the Insanity rotation. I like a variety of dvds so doing the same ones over and over again, isn't my thing. Whats on the menu for supper tonight??

O.k...my flight is getting ready to leave and so will I. I will bb tonight to report my workout!

Lori

Lori .. you should dress your DS up as a clown and let him carry a bunch of balloons!! since his escapades and balloon fettish! although he would probably be more pre-occupied w/the baloons than the clown outfit .. LOL!! But a lion is cute!!! I dont think my DN has a scary bone in his body .. he LOVES the transformers .. and scary movies .. they let him watch stuff I dont think he should be watching .. like one day I went to see him .. he had JUST turned 6 and he was watching "Primevil" that killer crocodile movie ... he loved it .. but yet he was "scared" to play soccer b/c he was scared he would get hit in the shins kids are soooo funny!!

Wendy .. what is your little muchkin gonna dress as????

We are invited to a Costume party .. I never thought DH would have wanted to go .. so hadnt planned on it . he was supposed to be working next FRI .. now he says he may take off OK .. so if he does what am I gonna dress as?????? I hate to order something b/c he may not get off and that will be wasted money .. ??? I dunno .. he is on nights now and ILL .. I wont be able to get any kind of definitive answer from him while suffering from MIDNIGHT-ITUS!!!

OK .. just 1/2 hour to go .. not sure what I am gonna do .. was letting my hair grow out some .. but it is getting on my nerves .. so I may cut it short again .. right now it is right below my shoulders .. ... no telling .. I may just tell her have at .. do whatever she feels like wish me luck~~

Well Woo Hoo Girls ! I kept ontop of the headache with decongestants and 1/2 doses of motrin throughout the day.

So . . . just finished my first workout in a handful of days. Followed the schedule and did MR. For recovery I am feeling it in my legs and UB ! Guess it is the slowness of the workouts. Not really sweaty and doubt it was a cal burner but feels good. I should be ready for MIC tomorrow night and I'll take a rest day as needed.

Wendy - good job getting the workout done early ! Hope the day went well for you again. I dislike missing my workouts too - it has been aggravating but unavoidable. I shall go on and hope that I don't fall into this "trap" again anytime soon. I had the same problem so many times last year and early this year - have had a great run at it since probably March though so it's all good. What is the worst is coming here with no workout - then explaining cuz I missed them. What is better is that you are all so supportive ! I'm hoping I'm back on a roll.

Laura - hope DH is behaving himself tonight. More than that I hope he gets better soon for both of you ! Sounds like a costume party would be fun - can you borrow something or go to a second hand store? LOL about Lori's DS being a clown with balloons ! So how is the new "do".

Diana - sorry about the headache last night - I KNOW just how you felt ! Nice you slept well and got your workout in this AM. I sooooo wish I could work from home without repercussions but my boss doesn't like it since other managers complain. Oh well . . . I just don't do as much housework ! That is fine be me and a great excuse I guess ! Just found out the seasonal flu shots are running out all over around our area at least. My mfg plant was scheduled for shots next week and they were just cancelled ! The urgent care should have set our shots aside but guess they didn't ! Not good as the guys work out in a plant that is quite cold during the winter and we have 100 employees. Hope we can find someone else to do the clinic.

Lori - well nice that you slept in this AM girlie. I'm sure you needed quite a bit of rest just to catch up from last weekend. I wonder how I could ever do a half mary - not sure my legs can go that distance and my endurance doesn't pick up very quickly. I may have gone 10 or 11 miles ONCE but that was on the TM. I'm so amazed at you racers that go long distances. I mean, Shaun is kicking behind with 1 hour workouts ! ! ! I'm exhausted (when I am doing them at least ! ).

Well I expect that Jen may be able to pop in tomorrow since she should be done with her files . . . Jen you still alive sweetie ?

Off to hit the shower and eat my homemade southwest style chicken soup, YUM ! Nighty Nite ladies !
