Low Carbers - August 2009

Hello!

No workout for me today, massage. It was great and very much needed with my bum shoulder/back/whatever else ached today. Getting old really, really, really, sucks. But I'm going to fight it tooth and nail.:D:eek:
 
Hi all,

I am into week 3 of meso 3. I ate a banana and drank glass of skim milk about 30 min before plyo legs and had lots of energy, no passing out/fainting.

Rhea, I think teaching is so challenging. In the elementary school my kids went to, there were 11 different foreign languages being spoken. How can you even teach with that? Then they have all that state testing and if the kids do bad it doesn't matter if they can't read English. So they get bad scores and the school gets a bad rating.

OK, I'm going to complain about the school district we are in! My son is in the marching band and the school board cancelled ALL extra curricular activities, this includes band, football, National Honor Society, Everything because the levy didn't pass. And they also cancelled bussing. My son has a busy 5 lane major road to cross to get to school. We can drive him most of the time, but not all the time due to my work. They had someone on tv saying how she missed 2 hours of work because she has to be there at 6am and her daughter's school didn't start until 8am. People are pulling their kids out of the district, it is a mess. Anyways, I feel so sad about all this. I try not to complain, just go with the way things are, but still I feel it is awful.

Now I need to go eat some chocolate!
 
Melinda - What a nightmare! I don't blame you one bit for being upset. Just hope the chocolate helped some :).

Okay ladies - I am officially on vacation at 5pm today so I wanted to pop in and tell you all I'll be gone and hope you have a great time until I get back. Everyone take care and I'll see you after Labor Day :cool:.
 
Hi babes! Melinda, you have every reason to complain! I think that's really crappy of the school to do. I do not think it was necessary to cancel everything, but it's what administrators do to scare people when they don't get their way from the voters. It's what happens here anyway with police and fire levies that don't pass. The first thing they do is say there will be less patrols and firefighters. I haven't seen it happen so drastically with schools here though, yikes! :eek:

Lita, I hope you have an AWESOME vacation! With no medical appointments! :D

Rhea, DH does owe you for those pillows! Has it stayed cool enough for you lately? We are in the 70s here, but humid, yuck.

Pink, hope you can stop by and say hi soon!

DH and I did not spend the first days of our vacation putting a floor in--yippee! DH wasn't able to get some preliminary things done that we needed to so we played all week instead! We went to museums, a movie, saw friends, hiked, got massages and even car shopped (didn't get anything though). It was great! Now I don't wanna go to work tomorrow. :p

Got a few workouts in but took it easy. I'll get back to a regular routine tomorrow. Maybe. :D

Have a great week!
 
Lita - hope you have a great vacation! (even though you have such a "fun" list of things to do!)

I had a blast at my reunion. Saw lots of people I didn't know and some I did! I really didn't care who I saw since I was hanging out with my friends. And we had fun...my feet hurt and I'm exhausted. Plus, I need to detox from the food/alcohol (I didn't really do that bad, but geez getting old just sucks, LOL)

Well, gotta run and go cook some dinner. I'm going to be back on the workouts tomorrow.
