Getting us started today

 

[Boingo1]

Not a good day...

Zach's friend slept over last night, they were up VERY late, it POURED out all night, I had bad dreams and then woke up with a headache at 4:30.

I don't know what I'll do for a workout today. Supposed to be total body weight work. My head is splitting. Nothing ever helps that I take either. CRAP! I hate it. And I promised Zach and his friend I'd make them pancakes...

help!

Good morning Chris and everyone to come!!

We had a rain storm last night too Chris...Vic and Chris went to a Washington Nationals baseball game last night and didn't get home until midnight..Then we were up at 6:00 with the dog. So, I feel your no sleep and I am with ya...

Today is my anniversary. 16 years..We got a sitter and Vic and I are going out to a peaceful dinner together tonight. So, I am hoping to eat good today in anticipation of that meal...

Workout today is 4 day split kicbox: legs...

Be back later..

Good morning! Sorry to hear you had a miserable night, Chris! If it's any comfort to you, I did too. No storm here, but a tic bothering me for a long time and I finally woke up enough and found it. Yech!!! So, I slept in. I was supposed to do a stretch today -- I'm going to try to get it in later. I hope you get that TB in somehow!!

Kathy, happy anniversary and congratulations!!! I hope you two have a really nice time tonight -- fun to get out like that!!

I am somewhat discombobulated this morning. Running a little late.... maybe I'll be back later......

 

[Boingo1]

Still piddling about. I managed to do the pancakes, even made some of those cottage cheese/oatmeal ones for myself. My head is intermittant, there's a slight queasiness too. I'm computing, drinking lemon water, took some more tylenol (can't hoit!). ... I'm thinking maybe i'll eek out a short workout later, maybe Supersets or Push/Pull. It'd be better than nothing... or not.

Kathy: happy anniversary to you and your hubby!!! Have a nice dinner out! I've not done a 4DS workout "as is" in a very long time.... Have fun!

Beth: Thanks for commiserating with me. It sucks when your day is wrecked because you feel like poo. You had a tic in your bed? (a BUG tic?). Ohhhh...ewww. I remember when I was young and living and home I had a dream I had a bug in my bed and woke up and there was one of those GIANT sized moths under my covers. *shudder*. Hope you get in a nice stretch today, those are always a nice treat !!

 

[bitmover]

Chris, maybe I'm too late, but what about Lalo for some fun?

Yes, it was a tic -- the blood-sucking bug kind. This is what happens with Gina and chasing deer. She gets 'em, they get in the house. Yuck!!

Good work on the pancakes!

Joanne just must be home soon, right? It seems like it must have been about two weeks now. I just had an email from that giant breast cancer study (army of women, do you know it?) and they need women from the Chicago area (Baltimore, too, but I don't think that's any of us) who have had normal mammograms in the last six months or year or something.

Morning!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KATHY! Wow -- 16 years -- does the urge to not slap him go away?? Your DH probably isn't as aggravating as mine. Have fun all today -- workout and beyond!

Chris -- I'm sorry you feel so crappy. I've had the third or fourth night in a row waking up badly and from nightmares too. I hate it -- I hope your headache goes away.

Beth -- instead of a stretch you should go and get some Red Mango now that you found it! I hope you feel better too and we all can start this weekend right.

I woke up so blech. Like not sore but like I'm a rickety old door or something. Wondering if I should call it a rest day but then I ate like a pig at a Mexican restaurant last night (though I tried really not to -- those stupid tortilla chips -- I had no idea how bad they are for you!). My boss comes back today so I think al of the lab is pretty sad...I don't have too much planned for lab -- more for home since my mother is coming to visit us next week. I did bring a full gym bag so an easy elliptical run can totally be in the picture. I'm crossing my fingers for a certain result today. At first it looked like I had confirmed a contamination in the stock, and I still think there is but i may have been able to cherry pick what I need so that's cool...

I'm super lazy so any of you who just want to be chatty today -- go for it!

 

[Boingo1]

I think I may be doing better!?!?

I laid on the couch for a bit (while the boys whooped it up with 4 of their friends in the basement) and may have even drifted off for a few seconds. I got up and ate some chips and goldfish (I know, not good, but it's what I felt like) and then finally called the kids in for lunch (at 1:30!!... but in my defense, they ate breakfast at 9:30).

I'm looking at weight workouts and think I may do a MM premix (the 56 minute timesaver... is that really a timesaver?? LOL).

Beth: Oh Lalo! I don't want to jar my head around too much, thinking lalo may be too much. But maybe I could just play it and WATCH him...???!! I do believe that it's been 2 weeks and Joanne should be home soon!!... I haven't heard of that breast cancer study, though.

Hottie: LOL @ finally not feeling like slapping your DH. I'm thinking that NEVER ends. I swear, sometimes just the sound of his voice makes me want to slap him (I'm sure it's just me and my moods though). I'm with you, if there was a Red Mango here, I'd be SO THERE instead of working out!!! Hope you feel better and your experiment isnt' contaminated and your boss stays away just one more day! Let us know if you work out!

Oh , I just got up quick for the phone and my head POUNDED... Should I or shouldn't I try this????

 

[bitmover]

Chris, maybe you should be anywhere but at your workout! You don't sound so great.

Hottie, yes, let us know how it works out -- fingers crossed here, too. Great that your mom is coming to see the new house and visit and all! And meet Evee, too.

The breast cancer research study is here: www.armyofwomen.org

So far, I haven't matched anything that they've been looking for, but it seems like a great idea and I hope to help someday.....

 

[Boingo1]

Okay, so I muttled through ME, EXPRESS WORKOUT, but it ended up being closer to 60 minutes than 50. Whatever. I guess close enough. I felt good during some of it, other parts, not so good. Afterwards I feel dizzy and lightheaded, but no big headache, so THAT's good ?!?!

Now I'm wondering if those drugs I had on Wednesday for the colonoscopy is effecting me somehow? Oh, plus, I have "TOM" now too. Not so much TOM, because I'm on the pill,but the only thing I do get is really weak and tired. Could be adding to it.

I'm such a bum today though! NOTHING I usually get done on Friday , is getting done....

. And then I wonder, who really cares if the house is clean for the sitters this weekend, because the Sunday girl TOTALLY leaves the house trashed. It's really sickening. The kids make their own lunches, and whatever snacks they want all day, and leave all the dishes, etc piled up in the sink. Last week they threw popcorn kernals down the garbage disposal, and the thing started smoking!... AND she left a can of Diet COke in the freezer, and it EXPLODED!! (my NEW refigerator, even!). Damn. why do I clean???

Guess I'm rambling...

Beth: I went to that site, but don't see anything where you sign up to be researched. Just to volunteer to help.

oh my house is a messssssssss...

 

[Kathy36]

Thanks for the anniversary wishes ladies...Looking forward to our dinner. I have tried to be a good girl in my eating today and had a great sweaty workout!

Hottie: LOL!! No, that urge doesn't go away! I am sure my hubby is comparable..But, everyone has different things that bug them..

Chris: Hope you feel better!! Sometimes we need to slack off. I try to do that now and again!!

Beth: Ugh!! A tic! How aweful!! Enjoy stretching..

 

[hottiescientist]

hey guys...no workout for me today so far at least...unless you count working my mouth out. Two women in the lab next to mine and I have been chatting for three hours. THREE HOURS. We did science in between. I actually have been thinking about bringing some of my experiment stuff to do near one of the women so I had someone to chat with while I worked. It was good. The thing that sucks about a lot of my experiments (at least on the genetics side of things) is that it takes me a while to figure out if something worked. It's just the nature of the experiments...one day for prep, one day to transform, three days to grown, one day to pick, one day to regrow, one day to extract, and then FINALLY I get to confirm. I'm on the one day to pick.

Hmm....so no hope for the frustration level dropping, eh? At least I know

eek, the secretary for the dean is booored and talked to me for over an hour! my feet are killing me!!
