Good morning ladies...

OK, today's I am scheduled for a cycle ride. I think I will pop in an Amy Bento hi/lo workout instead...We will probably go to the pool this afternoon and Lauren asked if we were going to the track today. So, maybe. I was so happy to hear her ask. I think she likes it now that she doesn't have to run. And it is ok that she is walking. It is exercise too..

Beth: I am so sorry to hear about your mom. It sounds like she has a great attitude though. Hugs to you...Drive safely..

Be back later...Time to get everyone out of the bed!

Morning. Evee kept me up last night trying to snuggle me off the bed all night. So hopefully, i'll sleep on the plane. I'm going in late today at work so I'm having a big breakfast to do both Disc 6 and 7 back to back. eek. It's also going to be 90 in jersey. oh well. I'm staying at my sisters or my parents home and I'm choosing who has the A/C blasting the most.

Kathy -- that's awesome about Lauren asking to go to the track. could you get me out of bed too?

Good morning! I'm clearly in a fog..... I didn't realize you were leaving today, Hottie. Today? Safe travels, and I hope you have some good time together with your family. I'm sure you will be a great comfort to your mom right now. It's good that you are going.

Thanks, Kathy. It's cool that Lauren is liking the walking.... and yes, it's good exercise!! But more importantly, remember the old saying about the best exercise is the one you will do.

Ok, call me crazy.... my push/pull / supersets arrived yesterday, so I did push/pull today after doing Jari's R&C yesterday. But I figure I may not work out at all while I'm gone, so one day of overtraining isn't going to kill me. I liked it! I cannot believe that disc never appealed to me.... how did I miss it? I guess I thought it was older. So fun to see the menu come up and it's just like KPC & L&G!

Waves to Joanne!! And Happy Friday! I am in a fog because it doesn't feel at all like a Friday to me....

Hottie, you are too funny..... I just went back and read your cupcake post. Thanks for the pounds, girlfriend!

Aww..Beth - I'm so sorry about what's going on with your mom. Sometimes you just need to let it out. You'll be there soon with her. Wow, she sounds like such a strong woman. Crazy about the hip pain. I was crying reading your post yesterday...hang in there. Sounds like a fun graduation - sometimes my kids will get like that - where they just don't want to do some activity and we leave. I have Push/Pull - I think I've done a premix from it. Does it have a lot of ball work?

Hottie, hope you enjoy your time with your family. I'm sure they will be very happy to see you and you'll be a comfort to your mom. Is Joe going to? You go - girl!! Two STS workouts in one day! I love Evee and I've never met her. Sounds like such a sweetie! And, so well trained!

Kathy, very cool that Lauren is asking about the walk! Walking is great exercise. Still hasn't really been good pool weather here. Maybe DH will take the kids today - it's supposed to be close to 90. We've had a ton of rain, though.

I think Chris is coming home today. Can't wait to hear all about the trip!

Well, I've made all my "maintenance" appointments this morning. Eyes, teeth, um, female parts , even Caitlyn's cardiologist appt. Although he's out of the country for seven weeks and can't see her till Sept. That's OK - she's doing fine.

Today is the Blackhawks rally and parade down here. The red and black jerseys invaded my train this morning! It was kind of cool walking to work though amongst all the people going to celebrate. They are going to swelter, though. Most have Hawks jerseys on, which are heavy and long sleeves. Gonna be some smelly people later on today!

Oh, yea, workout! I did an oldie, but goodie!! Imax2. That is just the perfect cardio workout. How can a workout with Foreigner's Cold as Ice and Pina Colado be bad??? My foot is much better, just a little sore. Didn't feel any worse after working out.

Toodles all....

Joanne

HI ladies..

Just finished up with Hi/Lo Xtreme with Amy Bento...Now, I am pooped!! Next on the agenda is a shower then lunch...The weather looks and feels great here. So, I think the pool is in our future...

Hottie: Travels safe....Sorry to here Evee kept you up last night. Buddy does that with us sometimes. He will come in our room and wimper and we hear his tummy growling and stuff...Hate those nights! Wow, 2 STS discs. High 5 to you!!! Yup, it has been hot in the north east lately. The weather showed it staying pretty warm all weekend..Enjoy your visit...

Beth: You are so right. I am happy to see her doing some form of exercise. Yesterday we took the bikes to the track...We ended up not going this morning after all. But, I think one day this weekend we will be there..Glad you got your new workout DVD. I like that one too. I did supersets this past Monday...

Joanne: I made all those maintenance appointments too. I got Vic to work at home next Wednesday. I am getting the um female stuff checked out and the teeth stuff done all in one day. I figured I will be too numb to eat anything. So, it would be a great day to get the blood tested for the cholesterol and all that. Yeah on the Imax 2. I did that one last week. Tomorrow I will be doing Imax 3.....Glad your foot is feeling better!! It is hard to do any Imax with bum foot..

Waves to Chris if you are able to read.... Miss ya...Hope you are having fun!!

so I hope Beth has already left by now! It's green on the 101S except near Santa Barbara...but who says it'll stay that way.

Done two STS workouts...I skipped a couple exercises here or there but I was happy to be done with it. It took FOREVER...and Joe and I took a "nap" after we got up and that screwed up my schedule a bit. But I have my suitcase in the car and we'll have dinner at Togos and then take the carpool lane to go to the airport. Still crossing my fingers that the lawyers will settle and I don't have to come (I'm the best witness) but I still get to see my family at least then. We have lab meeting in two hours as well but it shouldn't get a little hectic for me until ~6p because I want to try another experiment before I leave. I'm slightly concerned though about contamination issues right now though so we'll see....

Kathy -- ugh, I asked my mother to tell whoever control's NJ thermostat to put the A/C on. Evee was super affectionate this morning but I don't think she realizes I'm gone for a couple days. all she knows is that I gave her the special food TWICE so she was being a good girl...

Beth -- Did you bring any discs to your mom? I brought a couple but we'll see if I get to do any. Also happy to oblige with cupcakes and laughs!

Joanne -- maintenance? oh, just say it. VAJAJAY. lol. Sorry! Couldn't help it. I love the cold as ice interval. It pushes me to get through the fast feet shuffle so I can hear it. Awesome that the foot is doing better...

CHRIS WE MISS YOU!!!
