Low Carbers & Friends - March 2011

Well, if the weather would catch up with the right month, then I will be much happier. I'm getting rather tired of below 20 when I get up every morning. Like the snow, but hey, time for it to goooooo.

I did a funny today in court (well, only the d.a. actually heard...) He had a back that was a bit stiff and he said it was from a fall on the ice yesterday. My response was...oh was that the big noise I heard? lol

Yep probably have a sinus infection, but not letting it stop me. I don't want to put off the butt kicking I'm going to get on Thursday's trial. Rather get it done and over with.

Well, back to the grindstone. Have a great rest of the day everyone!
 
Lita, you are really on top of things with getting these threads up right away to kick off a new month. WOW!

Rhea, I am amazed at the progress you are making on the house, it's moving much quicker than I expected.

I did Step Moves today.

I looked all around online to find out when Cathe will actually be awarded and where she will be at this Fitness Expo this weekend. I can not find any real details. This thing is spread over about 5 locations, it is huge. If I can't find the exact place to go, I'm not going to go driving all around. So if any of you happen to see details/times, please let me know.
 
Rhea - I hope you're not walloped too hard on Thursday :eek:! That was a funny in court - good thing the DA had a sense of humor that day, huh ;)? Hopefully good weather will soon come your way :).

Melinda - Amazing what someone can do when they don't have a job that keeps them busy :p! I was looking at this pagehttp://www.nationalfitnesshalloffame.com/classof2011.html about the ceremony but it's pretty vague. However, I noticed at the bottom that it says: "Email questions, comments and suggestions to [email protected]" so I guess it wouldn't hurt to zip them an email and see if they can give you better information. HTH :)!

Lita, thanks. I emailed them and they said it was sold out. Tickets were $25 anyways, so although I like Cathe, I don't think I'd be $25 worth of "like" to see that!
 
Melinda - I know what you mean :). $25 has to be a 'love' instead of just a 'like', for sure!
 
Hi fit babes! Thanks for starting the March thread Lita! I was very pleased to kick February to the curb!

Basil did well at the dog show despite sitting in the ring when he was supposed to walk with me! There are photos and comments on his FB page. :p

Rhea, you are too funny! I hope you are feeling better soon! I've got some allergy issues now--I think. Dry cough, ears popping. Haven't been sick though. Hmmm...

Your house is really coming together--I can't wait until you are able to relax and enjoy it! DH and I are planning on getting hickory cabinets too. :)

Melinda, I am sorry you won't be able to see Cathe. I imagine it will be crazy there as it is! Glad you got to enjoy the good weather--I'm waiting for it to get here! We're still below normal in temps--like Rhea!

Let's see. I'm so happy I've gotten 3 workouts in this week so far! Cathe's Cardio and Weights, High Reps and Athletic Step today. What workouts have you been doing lately Lita? I'll try to remember STS TB instead of STS 4. :)

Have a great rest of your week!
 
Tracy - Must be because I'm the oldest here that I'm never happy to see life fly by ;). Should I ever get to FB, I'll look for the pictures :). Hope you soon feel better - or at least lose the irritating symptoms - and that your weather soon cooperates for you! Oh heavens - it's okay 'cause now I'll remember it's STS 4. Besides, it doesn't hurt me to have to think now and again :p. Let's see - I did S&H one week followed by GS the next. First time in a long time I had such DOMS so my tweaking the routines must've worked :cool:. This week I'm doing a short week - MIS, 4DS BC cardio - doubled, SS w/ no legs but double upper body, PP. I decided on the week I do the mundo shopping that I'm not trying to get in my 5th day. It just makes the week too long with that extra morning being spent running all over the store :eek:. Of course, there's been the ubiquitous walking, too :rolleyes:.
 
Tracy, I'll go check out Basil on FB. BTW, I saw the movie Social Network that is about the guy that made FB. Doesn't show him in a very good light.

I am finishing up S&H today, got bi/tri to do. I've also been doing cardio on the bike. Light snow here again, blah! I'm getting antsey for spring.
 
Hi babes! We finally warmed up here today! But I can't enjoy it really because my cough turned into coughing fits all caused by a throat infection. How? I dunno! So I have been laying around the couch for my workouts! Basil is a bit bored 'cause mommy really doesn't want to do anything. :p

Got antibiotics yesterday but they are not working yet. May be staying home tomorrow too. I'm gratedful that the huge icky project I had to do got done last week. Whew!

Have a healthy week babes!
 
(((Tracy)))! Get well soon!!!!

Melinda - I can't believe you're getting to bike where you live! Normally, I would be able to bike most the winter but not so this year. (Not that I really like biking, but :p...)
 
I'm in my final testing phase for school. Test 1 on Monday went well. Today is skills assessment, it is very complicated. Will do the best I can, but I feel pretty prepared. Then the grand finale test on the 14th! Almost done!!!

I did TS standing legs and abs from B&G. I really like that workout. May do cardio today, will see.

Lita, we got to bike on paved trails last week. There was some mud overflow, but just a little section, the rest was ok. But now it's not so nice outside. We have a stationary bike in the living room and do that. DH has actually lost a few pounds of belly fat riding that. He gets on in the evening while we watch tv.
 
Melinda - I'm glad you're almost done :)! I know you'll do a great job on all three phases :cool:! Oh my - if the bike did that for DH, maybe I need to get one and ride all day long :p!
 
Tracy - hope you feel better soon. I've been a bum around the workouts myself, but only because I'm still trying to kick the sinus infection. I can't wait until the antibiotics are done. They've done a number on my intestinal system. :(

Melinda - I bet you can't wait until you are done! It will be over soon and you won't know what to do with yourself.

Lita - just doing the same ole same ole? Huh? How's the snow there? The west coast has been sending those storms east, are you getting any of that? Hope not, they were nasty and cold. Lake Almanor actually got 80.5 inches of snow at the end of February. Strange, it is melting very fast. Almost completely gone in Susanville. Now if it would just get a bit warmer, only in the 50s mind you, that's not asking much. LOL
 
So glad to see you, Rhea :cool:! Yup - just the same old here. But that's okay - the older I get, the less I like change :p. Not much snow left but even better than that, most the ice is gone - yeah! I think most your moisture has bypassed us. We just get enough to pack down to ice :rolleyes:. Our temps go from the single digits to upper 40s. Up & down we go, week in, week out. What a crazy winter :confused:!
 
Rhea - Enjoying that jacuzzi yet ;)?

Melinda - Hope your grand finale went well today :D!

Tracy - Hope you're feeling better :)!
 
I am officially done with the class! Grades posted on Thursday.

I did lower body blast from the new series yesterday, just kind of winging it day to day. super tired today, need to get rest tonight. Will write more later
 
Congratulations, Melinda :cool:! I think some downtime and rest are more than called for after all that!
 
Hi babes! Good to see you all! I'm almost back to 100%. Needed 2 rounds of antibiotics though! Then gave it to DH and he's on them too! :rolleyes:

Melinda, congratulations on being finished with your tough class!!! Enjoy your much deserved rest!!!

Rhea, I hope you have been able to catch your breath a little and I sure wish your weather would mellow out Lita!!

Our weather has been pretty lousy lately--tons of rain, quite a bit of wind so no bike riding here! Went walking at lunch yesterday and got surprised with hail. We were prepared though! And I took BB on a walk Sunday in the rain just 'cause I wanted to. :D

Taking it easy on the workouts this week since I did none last week. Pulled out Fitprime's Crunch Time yesterday with Susan and really enjoyed it. Did a new Tracie Long dvd today and was happy it didn't kill me. I may stay away from Cathe this week! :p

DH and I are meeting with a contractor on St. Paddy's day. I'm going to do my best not to get my hopes up that we'll hire him 'cause DH is really picky about things but I'm looking forward to the meeting just the same. :)

Have a great week!
 
Oh wow, Tracy, I have my fingers crossed (and my eyes and my toes, for that matter)!!!!!!! I know DH is picky but this is still the biggest step in a long time :cool:!!!!!!! Hopes and prayers going up :D!!!!!!!!!
