Morning melty folk. I did not want to get up this morning! DH and I had the baby with us last night. It was DD's 21st birthday and she went out, so we took him to bed with us. He is a restless sleeper. And Frank the cat howled and stomped on us a couple times too.
Leanne! Your hair is sooooo cute! I love it. You'll love how easy it is too. The bracelet you are working on is lovely too. I'll try to get that recipe posted later.
Tneah, pierced nipples? Ouchy. OK, I'm just not a piercing or tatooing kind of gal. It's all too permanant for me. I stopped liking tatoos when the dumpy 50 something ladies around here started showing up with roses around their ankles and barbed wire around their batwinged arms. But I'll admit, I always had a secret yearning for a hidden palm tree, parrot or lizard tat.
Kristi, if I can post a picture, anyone can. I just can't do it without my DD's help. I bet your DDs know how. I always get confused when I try to get a picture from my camera onto the computer. It always gets lost and DD has to find it for me. I'm such a computer dolt.
Shelley, Chris's hair IS kind of sexay. You know me - I'm such a conservative namby pamby.
Morning to Deb, Kara, Shannon, Jennifer and Allison. I'll see you all later. The plan for today is to eat clean and do something cardio. I think I may give Strike Zone another try. Maybe I'll even try to do the upper body spider web thingies instead of standing in front of the TV with my hands on my hips saying, "yeah, right."

Thanks for the compliments on my guy, ladies! Tneah, yes, he has pierced ears and used to have his nipples pierced but took them out a little while ago because they kept getting infected (TMI?). He has a lot of tats though. Here's a pic. He's the one on the far left.

His other arm actually has more.
Okay, I need to get in the shower. I'm tired and dragging and went back to bed this morning instead of working out. This is becoming a habit I don't like much.
Oh, I have PMS like crazy, in case you didn't guess.

I was shocked when I saw that I had come *this* close to sleeping through the night.http://www.pic4ever.com/images/47b20s0.gif[/img] YIPPEE!!!! http://www.pic4ever.com/images/greenstars.gif[/img]
I still couldn't get up to get my workout in before work, though. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/hanghead.gif[/img] http://www.pic4ever.com/images/swear1.gif[/img]
Ah well. I'll do it after work. I'm totally excited for it. I'm gonna do GS Chest and Tri's and 4DS LIS and HIS cardio.

Mornin' everyone -
Thanks, all you wonderful ladies, for asking about me. I appreciate it! Not too sure if I'll be around today... it still depends on what happens with this work thing. But now it doesn't look quite as bad as it did!
Leanne!!!! OMG, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair! It is perfect for you! And good grief, where on earth did you ever get the idea that any part of you is fat? Stop that right now. You're skinny! And just remember: pictures always add weight to a person, so if you look skinny there, there's no way you're fat in real life.
Shelley - what's up with the rest days? And how many is too many? I know you. You think ONE a month is too many. So I'll bet it's not as bad as you think.
Robin - what a night! Maybe that cardio will give you a much-needed surge of energy.
All right. I'm off to see what the day will bring.

Good morning, all!
I managed to get to bed at 9:30 last night -- and slept in until 6:00 this morning! Woo hoo! Today I'm moving into a week of doing the PS workouts, so I think today I just have PS Legs + some B&G abs to do. Later this morning, we're going to head up to my dad's to help them move some furniture around (well, Mike will be helping with the heavy lifting!) and then we'll take them to lunch. I'm hoping it'll be cooler up where they live since it's been about 109 at their house! Ug!
Deb -- How did Keegan's puppy training go last night? Did he behave himself like a good little gentleman?
Robin -- So sorry that you didn't get a good night's sleep! :-( Did Emily get a chance to hang out with her BF last night for her b-day? I bet you'd look so cute with a tattoo -- I love the ideas you have for one! Yes, short hair is so great for how easy it is to style, isn't it? I've been loving the fact that it takes me all of five minutes (or less) to do it. Tracey had posted a clip on her website (www.fitbytracey.com) of a demo on how to do those spider web things; it might be good to check that out (hopefully it's still posted!) before you do Strike Zone tonight. Are you at work today? Hopefully it's not a super busy day since you're worn out!
Shelley -- UG! about the PMS! Oh, my -- Chris is definitely SEXAY, and I love that photo you just posted! Love the tats!;-) Again, don't beat yourself up for not working out! You've had a rough month, and one month of not working out as much as you'd like to really won't set you back in the grand scheme of things! Sending you {{{HUGS}}}!
Allie -- Oh, you're so adorable! Those animations are the best! I'm so happy that you slept better last night! Are you still taking the valerian root? If so, do you think it's helping? Hooray for your workout tonight! 4DS HIS and LIS is one of my favs! You can't help but have fun during that workout! Have you gotten your new KB DVD in the mail yet? I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
Shannon -- Hooray that you had a chance to check in this morning! We've missed you, but I'm glad to hear that you've been able to deal with that work issue a bit. And thanks for the kind words about my hair, etc. You're so sweet!
I'll BBL to check in with the rest of our wonderful ladies!

Leanne--yes, I've been taking the Valerian root since last week. Well, there were two nights that I didn't take it, but I think it's helping. It may be psychological, though. Who knows.
I haven't gotten my new KB workout yet. Maybe today! I'm struggling to figure out how to fit it in to a rotation. Hmmmm.... You said you're doing an eight-day rotation, right? Do you like it?
I had the weirdest dream last night that I did The Kettlebell Way again and it was really, really easy. What a random dream.

Morning All!
Uh, oh, Allison's got the little emotions guys out today!:7 :7 So cute! I love those, I just cannot figure out how to add them to posts other than on the bottom. So glad you got better rest last night Alli, I cannot imagine sleepwalking through the day and then having to workout too! Oh, and I checked out your pic. trail, so wonderful. Cathe and you all are soooo tiny! I would feel like amazon woman next to you all.
Deb, give us an update on Keegan's progress yesterday! We used Cheetos as treats for Georgie at puppy school, well, until he got a hankering for chicken...the spoiled arse dog.
Robin, what on earth is the spidey web deal? The visual of you standing there going "yeah right" is hilarious, sounds like what I would do and have done in the past when Cathe tuck jumps and does other crazy things like that! Oh, and I totally took out those piercings...the idea was much more pleasant than the reality! My stepma has tatoo's, she is 95 pounds and wrinkled like a Shar Pei, so needless to say, you have to look at them sideways to even figure out what they are!}(
Shelley, Chris is hot. I don't wanna go on and on too much, cause that just isn't polite and all, but you are one lucky gal (and so is he!) You have my total support during your PMS, I understand completely.
Shannon, hope the work thing clears up soon so you can come back and chat more, just happy to have you around though!
Leanne, yeah for nice long sleeps! I went to bed last night at the same time and woke up at the same time. I am such a copycat.Have at it with those legs today!
Hi to Lainie, Kara and Kristi!
I have a very busy day,Georgie needs a bath, I need to pack and ship my dresses ( I am shipping them ahead of time so I do not have to check luggage and risk losing them en route to Florida) Need to go pick up some little "sexy's" for the blushing bride..I was thinking about a black lacy bra and undies...I did not go to the bridal shower, but wanted to give her something ya know? We have a La Perla here in Vegas, their stuff isn't for the busty like me, but will fit Sean, unless of course the prices are too outrageous, then hello Victoria's Secret!
I have an itread this morning I think, or maybe CC8 on the elliptical if my legs can handle it...then PUB...oh, I was thinking...why in the world would I do a workout this summer that did not require the use of the gym, which I will have access to? The gym has all that equipment you wish you had at home, I will be there everyday, so why would I not take advantage of a prime opportunity to use the cables, the leg press and squat rack? As you can see, I am still working out my workouts when we go down to SD and the boat July 2nd...BBL..

Hello everyone. I'm checking in a little earlier today (for me). I was going to do my workout but DS Ewan is underfoot a bit too much, so I decided to wait until he naps. We had to go back to my dermatologist this morning for another light treatment. Then we went to Target (I know, I know). I got a couple swimsuits--couldn't decide which one, but they were cheap, so bought both (plus they are 2 sizes so one can be for fatter days). I also got some more plastic bins for storing toys. And some makeup. And some food. And some cheap jewelry. Blah blah blah.
Anyway, I got Drill Max in the mail today (sadly, I had it before, but sold it, so I had to get it again) so I think that's what I'm going to do later when Ewan's sleeping and not running around my workout space. I've got the portable a/c on to cool off the room before then.
I got my Nike outfit in the mail the other day and the pants are a little big and the shirt is a little bit small. But I'm going to keep them and I've ordered a couple more in other sizes. I change sizes so much I might as well have more than one. Of course, apparently I'm an XL on top and a M on bottom, which seems kind of a weird combo.
Deb, what's up?
Robin, sorry you didn't get much rest tonight. I guess you can pass the baby back to DD tonight and get some rest, though, right?
Shelley, cute mohawk on Chris. Personally my favorite pic is the one showing the manly hands on the little teacup. My DH is a partner in an accounting firm, so that means he's always pretty clean cut and conservative (except when he's on vacation when he grows out facial hair and stuff). Luckily I like him in a suit. He did have a mohawk in college, but I didn't know him them so I've only seen pics.
Allie, I'm so glad you got some more rest last night! I didn't sleep well--in and out of bizarre dreams about switching bodies, etc. Your smileys are cracking me up today.
Shannon, good luck with the work stuff!
Leanne, love the haircut--it's so cute! And shut up about the fat arms. you should see mine! I'm even showing my chubby arms off all the time in sleeveless tops just because they are slightly more tan since getting these light treatments (you'll laugh when you meet me and see what I mean by "tan").
Tneah, good luck with buying the sexy stuff. That's always fun. Has Georgie had his bath yet?

Hey Lainie bug...or "Miss Tar-shay" Nike does run weird huh? I find they are not that consistent in their sizing, I have had to buy mediums in the tops sometimes, other times large or extra large, the pants are weird too, the mediums can be too big, but are long enough, the smalls can be a tad bit too small and are always too short.x( But the stuff is so dang cute!
Well I did Imax2 this morning, followed by the back, chest and shoulder workouts from Cross Train Express. Whew. I am pooped. Ever had those workouts where you get winded more easily and feel the lactic acid buildup immediately? That was me this morning. I usually have no difficulty doing Imax, but this morning I was dragging butt...maybe its due to yesterday's Leg Blast..hum... And not lifting heavier weights has done me no good in the strength department either, I was struggling with the weights Cathe uses, and I usually can lift alot more--as I should because I am a big ole heffa, and Cathe is pint sized.:7
Off to shower and pick up Georgie and run errands like a mad woman...kisses to all of you!

Hi, all,
This has been a crazy day -- I've been running around since early this morning. I did GSC&T early; I'd like to squeeze in some cardio, but I don't think I'll have time. I'm a little grumpy today, and I feel like eating a bunch of stuff that's not good for me! So far, I've held out, but I'm not sure how much longer that's going to last -- fortunately, there's nothing too yummy or bad for me in the house.
Robin -- Beware of Target. We used to call it "the $100 store" b/c we couldn't get out of there for less than that. We have matured over the years and learned to be more disciplined, but it's still hard. Sleeping with little ones is tough. When DH is out of town, I let one of my DDs sleep with me, and I never sleep -- they are restless, cover and bed hogs! Your tattoo fantasy made me smile. I do have a small, tasteful heart on my back right shoulder. I didn't want it anywhere that would not age well. You are probably exactly right that one of my DDs can help me post photos!
Tneah -- At 5'9" I will definitely be an amazon at RT in July. You are so wise to ship your dresses!! Whose wedding is this? Is it really dressy? I need you to help me shop for sexy things; although after having to call 911 at 3:00 a.m. when DH had cardiac arrest, I make sure all of my sleepwear is "fireman appropriate." Do you do cardio AND weights every day?
Shannon -- I was so glad to see you back yesterday afternoon and glad to know you were just taking a break. I hope the problem at work is resolved completely and favorably soon.
Deb -- How was puppy training? Was he better behaved with Kelsey after his class?
Jennifer -- Welcome back!
Allison -- Yea for a decent night's sleep! I loved your post -- it made me a little less grumpy!
Kara -- Hi -- how are things today?
Lainie -- Isn't it weird how everything starts to unravel the last week of school -- it makes me wonder how we manage to keep all our ducks in a row all year long. I went to Target earlier, but I didn't even get a cart so that I would ONLY buy what I went in for. This is really embarrassing and dorky to admit, but I did a little style show for my family the other day to show them all the stuff I've gotten for July RT. (I've really been letting y'all see my dork side lately.) I think I'd like to order those darling Nike funky vibe pants that you have got. Is that okay since we'll be on different trips??? My DH grows out his facial hair on vacation, too -- I think these lawyers and accountants have a wild side they can't let out day to day.
Leanne -- It takes me a while to get to sleep for a nap IF I've had caffeine and IF I have a lot of stuff that I should be doing instead of napping -- then it's like my brain won't shut down to let me sleep. I also hate photos of myself, but yours are super cute! FIL does sound a bit odd -- hope that all goes okay! Staring unnerves me. I'll be thinking about you! BTW, I think I said this, but I love that bracelet! I also LOVE your pink mixer. I have the dark blue one, but I LOVE, LOVE pink (hence my username). Thanks for the photo posting info -- maybe I'll post something after our vacation next week. How was the visit with your dad?
Shelley -- Chris looks like a very fun guy!! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling like working out -- I can totally relate! Just give yourself a break -- we are way too hard on ourselves. We would never treat others the way we treat ourselves. Listen to your body and take care of yourself -- physically and otherwise. Like Allison said, missing a few workouts isn't going to do any damage! (Lecture is over.)
BBL to see how everyone's afternoon goes.
This has been a crazy day -- I've been running around since early this morning. I did GSC&T early; I'd like to squeeze in some cardio, but I don't think I'll have time. I'm a little grumpy today, and I feel like eating a bunch of stuff that's not good for me! So far, I've held out, but I'm not sure how much longer that's going to last -- fortunately, there's nothing too yummy or bad for me in the house.
Robin -- Beware of Target. We used to call it "the $100 store" b/c we couldn't get out of there for less than that. We have matured over the years and learned to be more disciplined, but it's still hard.
Sleeping with little ones is tough. When DH is out of town, I let one of my DDs sleep with me, and I never sleep -- they are restless, cover and bed hogs! Your tattoo fantasy made me smile. I do have a small, tasteful heart on my back right shoulder. I didn't want it anywhere that would not age well. You are probably exactly right that one of my DDs can help me post photos!Tneah -- At 5'9" I will definitely be an amazon at RT in July.
You are so wise to ship your dresses!! Whose wedding is this? Is it really dressy? I need you to help me shop for sexy things; although after having to call 911 at 3:00 a.m. when DH had cardiac arrest, I make sure all of my sleepwear is "fireman appropriate." Do you do cardio AND weights every day? Shannon -- I was so glad to see you back yesterday afternoon and glad to know you were just taking a break. I hope the problem at work is resolved completely and favorably soon.
Deb -- How was puppy training? Was he better behaved with Kelsey after his class?
Jennifer -- Welcome back!
Allison -- Yea for a decent night's sleep! I loved your post -- it made me a little less grumpy!
Kara -- Hi -- how are things today?
Lainie -- Isn't it weird how everything starts to unravel the last week of school -- it makes me wonder how we manage to keep all our ducks in a row all year long. I went to Target earlier, but I didn't even get a cart so that I would ONLY buy what I went in for. This is really embarrassing and dorky to admit, but I did a little style show for my family the other day to show them all the stuff I've gotten for July RT. (I've really been letting y'all see my dork side lately.) I think I'd like to order those darling Nike funky vibe pants that you have got. Is that okay since we'll be on different trips??? My DH grows out his facial hair on vacation, too -- I think these lawyers and accountants have a wild side they can't let out day to day.
Leanne -- It takes me a while to get to sleep for a nap IF I've had caffeine and IF I have a lot of stuff that I should be doing instead of napping -- then it's like my brain won't shut down to let me sleep. I also hate photos of myself, but yours are super cute! FIL does sound a bit odd -- hope that all goes okay! Staring unnerves me. I'll be thinking about you! BTW, I think I said this, but I love that bracelet! I also LOVE your pink mixer. I have the dark blue one, but I LOVE, LOVE pink (hence my username). Thanks for the photo posting info -- maybe I'll post something after our vacation next week. How was the visit with your dad?
Shelley -- Chris looks like a very fun guy!! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling like working out -- I can totally relate! Just give yourself a break -- we are way too hard on ourselves. We would never treat others the way we treat ourselves. Listen to your body and take care of yourself -- physically and otherwise. Like Allison said, missing a few workouts isn't going to do any damage! (Lecture is over.

All done with Strike Zone. I still can't do the spider web things, but at least this time I got as far as down on the floor. I watched the video on Tracey's web site, but I think it's one of those moves that will just have to click. I'm not really strong enough to do them well either.
Kristi, I know what you mean about Target. We always spend a lot when we go to the one near my son's house. I think once we have one in our "back yard," it will be easier to get out without dropping $100. Don't get over worried about what you wear on the RT. I don't remember what anyone else was wearing. Lots of black pants and tank tops, if I recall.
Shannon, whew, good news about your job. I was a bit worried, after you shook things up last week.
Lainie, LOL about your DH having a mohawk in college. My DH had shoulder length hair. His hair is very thick and curly and they fell in ringlets. I didn't "know" him then, but I knew who he was.
Tneah, we did the shipping ahead trick when we went to Yellowstone and I'm so glad. With the hassle that flying anywhere has become, it was so nice to only have a carry on. We had a couple delays and I know our luggage would have been lost in the shuffle.
Shelley, hope you can catch your breathe. We had an amazingly slow day at work today. It was kind of nice this afternoon. We all sat around and shared our favorite movie quotes. It started when we got a package marked Fra-gil-e. It must have come from Italy.
I better get to work on dinner.

Hey all....
Allison, what happened? Stop saying that, I do not like that kind of talk. Please let us know what happened and vent okay?
What a freakin' day! Got DH and my stuff packed and shipped, thanks Robin, didn't I get that idea from you? Do not ask how much this cost...I had to do it overnight, it was heavy, you do the math.
Meanwhile Georgie is at the groomers, its 118 degrees out according to my car's temp...and I had to schlepp up to the forum shops to get a bridal present...I wandered around in stupid shoes that hurt my feet for hours,finally found something for bride and mother of bride ( I love them both very much so I wanted to get them a little something)and missed my phone call from the groomers, so was 1 hour late picking Georgie up...got stuck in rush hour traffic, then had to run back to the strip to bring DH's iphone in to a "genius"...those are the guys in the Apple stores that wear shirts that say "not all hero's wear capes" or some shee-ot like that. x( Turns out nothing is wrong with DH's phone...x( the dork didn't reset it or something...I wouldn't have known though had I not enlisted the help of my own "genius/hero". Good grief.
Thank you for letting me blow off steam. One of my pet peeves is people that are late, 15 minutes is acceptable of course, but anything over that is plain old rude, unless its circumstances beyond your control, but in my case it was bad time management, I felt so bad for my groomer being stuck in her shop after hours waiting for me. Needless to say I tipped her very well. Everything seems harder when its so hot outside, I don't do well in the heat.
Other than that..how's it going gals? Oh, I got Miss Bride a very sexy black lace bra and panties, a black lace garter belt and stockings, and of course a "naughty"...nipple and lip balm.}( I just realized I have used the word "nipple" three times in the past day or so, sheesh sorry bout that!
Kristi, yeah usually I do cardio in the am, weights in the pm...it works for me. I am one of those that does cardio 6 days a week if I can. I have never not done that, and often wonder if I would turn to mashed potatoes if I did it like alot you guys do, 3 or 4 days a week?
I need to lay down now, will be back to check on you guys (Allison)!
