Good morning ladies...

Just getting ready to head out to the dentist. The whole family has an appointment for our cleanings. Then we are going to stop at the grocery store. When I get home, I am scheduled to do Body Max 2 today.

Ok, Be back later...
 
Good morning! Wow, DentistMax!! :D Good luck! And then enjoy BM2!

I had a rest day this morning -- just way too tired to get out of bed. I'm sort of sore from that Stephanie, though not in my upper body. I think it was Stephanie, though maybe some of it is from the day before. My core and legs are sore.

Hottie, so glad you got your registration straightened out. I do not know about HRM numbers vs. workout manager -- I never use the workout manager. And we never get an early start when we leave anywhere. I used to do that, but not with Larry, and especially not with Larry and kids. We're lucky if we get out by noon, it seems. Fortunately traffic is not usually an issue heading down that way, except maybe at Santa Barbara. Of course now I've cursed it! But 101 just isn't mostly very bad unless it's a holiday weekend.

Joanne, how's your foot today? You should probably lay off the cardio for a while, at the very least, don't you think? You had a crazy day!

Hope everything's going fine for Chris. I'm not on fb much these days, so don't know if she's updating.... maybe I"ll have to check. Hope you all have a great day!
 
Hottie, you get three cupcakes for last night's posts! ;) So glad to hear you got all that registration stuff straightened out. What a pain. Evee probably was thinking all those things! Tully is always on alert for scraps if I'm in the kitchen. It was funny yesterday. DH was making dinner when I got home. The kids were scattered all over the house. Dinner was ready - we call the kids. Who comes running and takes her place under the table before anyone else? Tully of course! I never noticed that she did that before, but she always plops herself under the table when we eat. Yeah, now all the kids (except Caitlyn of course!) have a FB. On the condition that I am their friend. Wow, that's wild about the mom finding her kids through Farmville. What STS is on tap for today? Oh, I forgot - Monday I also whittled our shoe collection of about 50 pairs in our living room down to about 12. I told everyone they can have two pairs of shoes and two coats in the front hallway. All the rest go in their room or the laundry room. We have a shoe bin, but it was way out of control! And the coats were just crazy. I'm trying to declutter before Jameson's graduation party.

Beth, sometimes it's just too much to get out of bed! If I'm sore, I don't really feel guilty about a rest day. We always try to get an early start, but it never seems to work out that way! Oh, I hate the process of packing and making sure everyone has packed the right stuff. Then stuffing it all in the car.

I saw on FB that Chris made it to DC!

My foot was still sore this morning, but it was more of an ache than a pain. Don't know if it was a good idea, but I did a Turbo Kick. Just felt like I had to sweat!! Probably should have done weights, but just wasn't into it. The foot doesn't feel any worse, so hopefully it's OK.

Kathy, have fun at the dentist! If that's possible. Tough workout today!

Joanne
 
Back and Triceps done by 730a! Ok, I didn't start the workout until 630a but that's still good. I did a "european" shower and guess what delayed us getting out the door? I had to do Joe's hair. He is screwing up what was beautiful haircut and treatment and omg we even snipped at each other, well the hair stylist told me to do this FIRST -- IS SHE HERE? ARE YOU HER? Let me do it the way I know how to do it! So now he looks presentable. He's an idiot with a hair dryer and I didn't think it would be worse with a flat iron but oh well.

Kathy -- I really need to go to a dentist before my benefits expire this year (August). Keep on reminding me. I think my teeth are ok actually but they need a cleaning and maybe some fillings replaced. But I really need to do it.

Beth -- So you take the 101 down? I thought for some reason you take the 5S...or do you take the 5S and cut through one of those forests area to the 101? Do you have numbers from your HRM in general? It was pretty accurate in general for me so I didn't feel bad when my HRM was dying (I bought it from REI so I got a full refund! I think I'm only buying HRMS from them....) I'm thinking about switching up the days for the rest of the week so I can walk! Tomorrow is CCC which I'm not sure if I can do at 630a and the next one is the second week of Legs! Eek! Saturday is MMA so I'm thinking of at least switching Thursday and Saturday...but then again, I really want to have the discipline of doing these workouts early. So, i'm not sure yet.

Joanne -- good job on the shoes! We have a rack to keep our shoes by the door. It's very "asian" to take off your shoes once you enter a room so I'm used to putting them away but Joe just leaves it whereever he wants and he has so many pairs. And he didn't even believe me for the longest time that he had 1) that many or 2) that he left them around until one day when someone came over to our apt at the time and I picked up all Joe's pairs in front of our guest. Then he was like...ohhh, ok maybe I do it too much. Still, the realization does not stop him from leaving it around. I now just chuckle when he trips over his own shoes. I have no idea what to do with coats and jackets. I have places for them but it seems to take too much space and it always seems like they are lying around.

My gosh, I'm so hungry. We have no milk, bread, eggs, or potatoes in the morning so I resorted to eating a couple handfuls of golean crunch for my "breakfast." At least today is togo wednesday for me...
 
Hey Hottie. DH has an astonding (sp?) number of shoes also. He has at least seven pairs of gym shoes. And a good 10 pairs of dress shoes. We had a humorous conversation when I was going through the shoes. I asked him why he needed seven pairs of gym shoes. He said they all have different purposes. Seriously, he said that. I said, OK, you don't run, workout, play basketball, play any sports actually, what the heck are their purposes??? He was unable to explain! He said one pair is for working outside and cutting the lawn. One is a more dressy pair, one is more casual (yea, ok!), the rest were on sale. I just had to laugh!! I left two out and threw the rest in our closet to deal with later. We have a big heavy duty hanging rod in our laundry room that holds all our coats. Wow - if I came near DH with a flat iron he would freak out!! I had to laugh at your scene with Joe and his hair! Mmmmm, enjoy your Togos! OK, make that dentist appt.! I know I need a filling replaced (or worse). I have a tooth with a filling that is very sensitive. Can't really eat on that side. And, my new crown is really sensitive, too. Scared to go cause I'm afraid I'll need a root canal or something. You are doing a great job with STS!! It really is great to do them in the morning. Then it's done!

I'm on my lunch now and have to address Jameson's graduation invitations. It's a simple thing but I keep putting it off. We were planning to do a pig roast thing for the party, but last night Jameson said he didn't care about the food. In that case, why spend all that money? Especially in light of the fr(*(&* car deductible we have to pay. So, we're going to get it catered from somewhere - need to do some research.

Enough procrastinating..

Hi ladies..

Just finished with Body max 2 and I am pooped out!! The dentist was well the dentist. I am not fond of going there. I have to go back though. I need deep tissue cleaning because my gums are inflamed and showing signs of disease. Oh and I need a filling! I am not happy. I will force myself to brush more often that is for sure. I am not good about remembering in the morning. I always brush, floss and do a flouride rinse and bedtime. But, I need to do more brushing during the day...

Ok, off to shower and eat lunch and then BRUSH MY TEETH!!

Talk to you later..
 
It's the 101 bomb all the way down. Well, we are on 1 for a short bit, then 156, I think it is to cut across. No 5, no way. We are not near it.

Good job on the workout!!! Excellent.... we'll turn you into a morning person yet. I do have numbers from my HRM -- I have lots written down, so if there's anything specific you want, just tell me which.... the hiits?

Joanne, you bad girl! Give that foot a rest! So funny about Tully being the first to the table!

Gotta run.... my mom is in the hospital again, too.....
 
well now I have to work out how to do STS as I'm going back to NJ this weekend until Wed morning! I'm probably going to do a double workout on Friday but...I dunno...STS Legs before getting on a cramped plane and sitting (with Ambien) in one place for 5 hrs. Ummm...

I already asked Cathe if she's doing a workout on Saturday and nope. :( Maybe I can get her on Monday with my sis. I can probably do HiiT:DW but hmm.. how to do disc 7?!?! I'll figure something out. Or just shift the workouts to the second half of next week. DISCIPLINE!

Joanne -- I have to fight the urge of buying a toy to help me do something, like getting shoes for each activity. It's so easy to throw money at the goal, you know! Actually, when I started this whole fitness thing at home I promised myself that I wouldn't waste a dollar on stuff I didn't USE. It's ok if I didn't NEED it, but I had to USE it. Thankfully, I haven't regretted any purchase (I found Cathe really quickly so that makes sense). And you guys test everything out for me so I don't even need to do to much QA analysis. :) Joanne, can you throw a party for me when I graduate? you guys go all out! (I'm more of a dinner party person who prepares everything which I would never want to do for my own graduate and Joe is more like BYOB and BYOM)

Kathy -- I'm the total opposite! I remember in the morning but not in the evening! did you have 4s and 5s? Mine go down if I brush better. Joe once had an 8! He really needed his deep cleaning though...I may do mine if its affordable through the dental school if I ever get an appt.

So hungry....
