Hi babes! I'm rather beat too. Not doing anything extra today, had a social event after work last night (with work people, our annual bowling night) and while I didn't bowl, I enjoyed the festivities with vodka-cranberry drinks and bad food. Maybe that's why I'm so beat today! 
What kind of work do you have to do with the BFFM challenge Rhea? And thank you for explaining it to me.
We're not doing so hot on our challenge but I've definitely taken steps in making better food and drink choices (not counting last night)! As for tightening things up more, I just don't have it in me. I suppose if one of my challenge buddies pushed themselves harder than I am (they aren't), I could see myself jumping on board. We'll see! We are on week 5 and have 7 weeks to go!
Did STS Total Body on Monday. I really like that one! Decided to bring my 10lb vest to work to do the Chalene Extreme dvds and it's giving those workouts a little kick.
Doing a cleanup day tomorrow at work--get to wear jeans and I will be focusing on virtual clean up. My Outlook items are at an outrageously high number!
Have a great rest of your week fit babes!

Tracy, well, the work comes with the food logging, total daily expenditure calculations, pictures in the beginning, weekly weigh-ins and measurements. Also got to have the food prep down or it really is no good. I'm just starting to gear up for it. I know that the nutrition is my major bugaboo.
It was nice and warm here this weekend!!! Anyone else?

Hi babes! I completely understand gearing up for that work Rhea! We're not doing what you'll be doing with my group but we should be! How long is your challenge going to be?
Had Beeutiful weather this past weekend, just like you Rhea! Got to enjoy it too a bit. DH and I hope to get a small motorboat after we move so we can ride around the big lake in our area. What did you do?
Didn't work out yesterday. Wanted to but it ended up being a rest day. Did the conditioning drills from LBB today and shoveled dirt at the property for my upper body work.
Here's to a good workout week!

Hi everyone!
what a busy week. Last weekend, my brother got married, so we had wedding stuff pretty much the whole time. The weather is cooler and rainy, so no out door stuff this past week.
I did finish STS and didn't want to do the rotation for April, although it is printed off so maybe next week???? But for now, I thought I'd do 4DS for the week and that's been pretty nice. I've done 2 of the 4 workouts so far.
Tracy, how do you delete a bunch of outlook emails all at once. I have stuff that is a year old at work and I can highlight a page to delete, but it takes forever, so I don't do anything with it. Some things just need to go!
We have a clear, sunny morning. I hope it stays this way, would be nice to get to bike one time this week. We're getting back to more real spring weather, like it usually is.
Have a good weekend!

Hello all!
I had busy weekend too....but nothing fun like a wedding. DH played pool and golfed all weekend so he was outta my hair while I worked on some roman shades and watched sappy movies while I was sewing. Of course I made myself work out. I've gotten off track with the April rotation, so I sorta did some of the third week Fri and Sun. I ended up doing Gym style shoulders, etc and then did Cardio and Weights yesterday with a Turbo Jam thrown in on Sat.
BFFM challenge does not start until the 30th of May, so I'm still procrastinating on getting ready. They decided to start after the memorial day weekend so we all could have fun on the weekend without worrrying about the challenge.
I think today will end up being a day off (Mondays usually are that way)

Hi babes! Happy last day of April!
Didn't do much this weekend and battled, rain, wind and a little sun today. Been mostly downpours off and on this evening. So no foundation poured yet! Sigh....
Melinda, I only know how to delete outlook emails a page at a time. My sent box had over 7,000 emails in it so it took a long time to clean it out. And I'm still not done! If I'm tired towards the end of the day, I'll take some time to delete old emails. It's mindless and accomplishes something. (I was saved a few years ago when my employer installed a program that makes me do something with each email I create now--send without saving, send to a file, etc. I will never have a sent box with that many items in it again!)
Did a kettlebell workout with Amy Bento today. Am finding Chalene to be boring me to tears unfortunately. It's too bad that the Beachbody challenges have you do the same workouts so often. For a number of reasons, I'm not doing super well on the challenge, but I have stayed away from my beloved Taco Bell and other junk. So it's doing something for me.
Have a rgeat, healthy week fit babes!

OOH, Taco Bell, I haven't had a Taco Bell for a looooooong time. Doing Chalene Extreme can get boring since you do the "burn, push and lean" discs by themselves for like three weeks at a time.
Hey Melinda, I don't know if this helps for the Outlook e-mails, but I hit the shift key and the up or down arrow on my keyboard (I do have the ergonomic microsoft board, so it has arrow keys all by themselves.) so that I highlight more than one e-mail at a time. They are then moved to the deleted items section. Now I have an icon in my outlook shortcuts for the deleted items. After moving all the crude over to deleted, I just put the mouse pointer on the icon, right click and then a prompt comes up for "empty deleted items folder" Anything in there gets deleted out all at once after you click on that. Of course, it always asks me if I'm sure, which is good, cause I've caught a couple of things that went directly to deleted from the spam. Is that what you were asking about? If you don't have the icon in the shortcuts, there is a way to find it. If I remember correctly, I had to create the icon to be in my shortcut.
I was told to get out of bed by the dog this morning....he decided to start howling at 4:15. (err, he is lucky to still be alive the little neurotic thing!) Did Yoga Booty Ballet, Bollywood style, lol . I'll be doing a run today too, not much burned with YBB!
