May 10 Check in Weekend 22nd/23rd******

[Kathy36]

Good morning ladies..

Well, Lauren now has what Chris was sick with. So, I was MIA yesterday dealing with her fever and sore throat. We are taking it easy today and staying home from Chris' baseball game and choir in hopes that she will not get worse. Chris seems to be better though. So I am glad about that. He still has a little cough/cold stuff going on...

I did get my workout in with Supersets yesterday...Today I am going to do MMA: Fusion. I don't remember what is in this one. I have only done it a couple of times. So, looking forward to it. I think I remember that there was some though movies in it..

Ok, talk to you all later...

Good Morning!
Happy Weekend for those who celebrate!

I really want to have a better Saturday. They've been very stressful for a while now. Hard to get all my chores/work done and Zach's procrastination and whining about delivering papers...

I'm going to try to not stress about working out too. Today is supposed to be circuit, HST to be exact, but I REALLY don't feel like doing that, even if I had the time. I think I might do Push Pull if I can fit it in. If not, oh well!

Beth: Sorry your boys didn't like Iron Man II. Did they see the first one? I still think the first one was better.

Hottie: Why am I your hero? Because I was "bad" in school or that I'm an angel now?!??!?! You DID make me LOL about your mom's reaction to an angel daughter!!! She should have been MY mom! She'd see!!!!!

Gotta run and get papers done......
BBL!

Good morning! Kathy, sorry to hear about Lauren -- sure hope you don't get it!! Fusion is a good one, as I recall. Isn't that the one Chris really really liked the first time? I think so, but I may be confused.

Chris, I hope your day is not so stressful this week, too! You should do a workout that's fun. I ran outside this morning -- my first real run of the year. It was pretty good, but boy, you can be in great shape and still struggle, can't you?! But, at the end of it I was thinking about how fun workouts can sometimes be not so fun, depending on how your body reacts or your mindset or whatever, and I was thinking about your comment about not liking IMAX2 lately, and I thought I'd tell you it's because you can feel your butt getting bigger doing step! JK. Really, is there anything to the theory that step makes your butt big?

The cats woke me up at 4:45 again, darn it! Oh, and yes, they did see the first Iron Man. Oh well.... we'll rent it sometime. Sounds like I didn't get the cupcake last night.... I'll have to check that out. Waves to Hottie and Joanne!

Here's proof:

Gin Miller:

I really do think I'm going to do a little Push/Pull!!!
Off I go!!!

You are hilarious, Chris!!

On a completely different topic..... I want new sheets for summer. I want them to feel good but not be wrinkly. They need to be the deep pocket kind. Any suggestions?

Rah-roh..... I hope Kathy's absence here this morning doesn't mean she is sick!! Hope people are feeling better there, Kathy!

I did a new oldie this morning. Those vf enablers got me to try a Margaret Richards -- do you guys know about her? She kind of bugs me, but it was an amazing workout, I have to admit. I got Sculpture -- it's low weight, kind of similar to Squeeze Stronger, in a way, but harder! It wasn't even that it was that high of a rep count, I don't think -- it's just the way she has you hold your body and pulse. Very different! I caved on it because people were talking about the definition it creates, and you know that's what I'm looking for!

How was work, Chris? And your stressful Saturday? Hopefully not too stressed! I worked on trying to clean up the house -- it is such a disaster -- just got so out of control with me gone (wasn't great before that and it just really went downhill). It's very slow work..... there's just too much stuff and it's not organized. More of that today!! The weather was crap yesterday -- never got above mid-50s -- we were freezing all day long -- and it even hailed at one point! This is just nuts. It looks promising right now. We're supposed to get rain four days this week.

Have a great day!

Forgot to tell you guys that my mom sounds so much better -- I think that blood transfusion did her a world of good. But, she's still in the hospital! Tomorrow will make it three weeks!!! Apparently the skilled nursing / rehab place was full up, so hopefully today maybe she'll get moved. I can only imagine what this bill is going to look like!!! It was just so good to hear her sounding much more like herself yesterday.

Eeek! Eeek! I'm losing time! Quick fly by for now as I think it'll ease up into the evening. Yesterday was awesome. I got in IM2 (which I have been dreading too for whatever reason for a while now) and it was hard for me at one point but I imagine that's because I was recovering but uber happy I did it. Joe and I went into Bev hills where I got the most awesome Kerastase conditioning for my hair and Joe got a REALLY nice haircut and the straightening treatment I got before. We paid a fair bit for it but now even Joe loves my hair stylist. Squee! Then I got a facial (on sale) which was good but not amazing....I guess I've just been taking care of skin so well it doesn't have as dramatic of an affect? (Oooh, speaking of which -- I've been playing with making my own scrubs and I think I stumbled on something that works really well against cellulite if any of you are interested.) And then Joe and I had dinner at the restaurant next door which was really nice and since we had an Open Table check it was even cheaper and then I went to lab and then we came home and I played video games and Joe got these great cream puffs from this store on Lake Ave and all in all a really nice day. The only downside is that I didn't realize that I couldn't get my hair wet with my conditioning treatment (I knew Joe couldn't) so I can't really do CCC like planned today. I'll have to figure something else out on top of all the other crap I need to do...

Beth -- that's such great news about your mom! Ugh, I need to get more tutoring students so i can make more money and try out more dvds like you guys!

Chris -- yes, you're my personal hero because of the way you turned out. Actually I can go on quite some time about it but when you were talking about that stuff...I just went, see? this is how people evolve and change and the actions you may have taken before do not predetermine the kind of person you're going to be later. It's a bit of a philosophical debate I have with my family/friends and I just think I'm WINNING. so, thanks.

OK OFF TO RUN TO LAB!!!!

Hey Girls!

It's Sunday.

Last night at work, not the best, not the worst. Busy. Sick patients. Sickest patient was not mine. Another nurse had a worse night.

Not even looking forward to monday so much, Zach volunteered to make Glumpki for "Food Fair Day" on tuesday. So tomorrow when i get up, I'm going to have to slave in the kitchen with him and a friend to make Glumpki! It takes a good 3-4 hours and is kind of labor intensive. Thanks Zach. I'm already thinking about my workout. wish I could do an HiiT , so it could be short and sweet and intense. But not sure I could pull one of those off on my weekend (lack of ) sleep schedule. We'll see.

Hopefully, tonight is better at work! think good thoughts!

Kathy: hope you don't have a house full of sickies!!! hope YOU are ok!

Beth: I have to say, that VF sounds like a dangerous place to go! LOL!. but the workout sounds cool. I'm liking the squeezing/toning workouts lately. Maybe that's another I could get, Squeeze Stronger! Would you recommend it? .. I'm jealous of you in that you have a good dreary day to clean your house! (and are actually doing it!).

Hottie: You have wonderful weekends there! I'm jealous of you as well! Hair spa day and cream puffs. YOU are MY hero!!! Oh, AND , cranking out IM2!!!! *bows* to you. ...

Better run, time to get supper ready for me and the boys!
