++ Melters! Get up & Move ! It's Thursday! ++

Morning!

Well, I did not get up and move this morning. I woke up and was about to get up and heard y'all yelling in my head that I should take some rest, so I didn't get up:p

My back is feeling loads better, so I may try a light run this evening.

Awwwww you guys! I just read yesterday's thread and you're all so sweet! Thank you.

Oh yeah, and Leanne, I'm totally jealous of you getting to work out with Amy! We expect a full report!

Lainie - I'm glad the boys are feeling better. I think Isaac will be okay with missing some kindergarten ;)
 
Hi I'm back,

Today I did Pyramid Lower Body ( up only pre-mi , plus the abs and stretch from Christie Taylor Get Fit & Dance. I really liked the ab work. It's very different and just doing it you know you will have major DOMS the next day, althouth it is not difficult to do. Not much new going on here. Just work, home, work , home..boring I know. The weather is still cold and no spring in sight.

Shelly:
Birthdays are for the birds! I just let the day go as another day. I hate making a big fuss about it..DH wanted to have parties on the big "memorable" ones, you know, 40, 50 , etc and I told him I would never speak to him again if he did a surprise party for me. He knew better! Just think about what good shape you are in compared to others your age! You are fit and healthy and that is all that counts. Age is just a number.

Jennifer:
Please get some good weather! We get your weather the next day! ;-)

Shannon:
I think you are getting back on track! You have the same sweet tooth that I do! Hope the new mouse does the trick!

Tneah:
Yes I go to bed early but not at 7:00...more like 9:00..LOL;-) Aren't government agencies annoying? I work with them every day..hope it works out well for your DH in DC. WOW on the body fat %..!Good job on the bone density too. I have Osteopenia ( the pre-cursor to Ostoporosis) and take Fosamax. Even with all the weight training etc. You are one healthy chica!

Leanne:
Not for anything but keep the "warm weather", "sunny" comments to yourself! LOL Just Kidding! :)

Robin:
sorry to hear your dentist "discovered" more work to be done. Cudos for doing KPC and ..after work! That takes endurance!

Lainie: I feel for you. I hope whatever the boys have doesn;t get to you next!

Have a great day!

Deb;-)
 
Shelly:

This is from all of us here:

REST REST REST REST


No running today! }( }( }( . We want you to take it easy and not get hurt...please?

Deb
 
Hello Melters.

Today are weather is supposed to be rain with an inch of accumulation of snow. They say the weather here will be above average "next week." We always get "next week" but not the good weather.

Shelley-take good care of yourself. take the day off. No workouts, please.

Leanne-Working out with Amy who?

Tneah-How's life?
 
Deb-your life's not boring.

Tneah-Govt agencies are bad news. Red tape.

Lainie-Get a second opinion on dental work. Find out what has to be done now and what can wait. I love KPC though.

Ok, tonight is CF. I did doublecardio from 4DS last night. Sat is on for ASC2.

My friend, who's on a life changing journey, has worked out 3 days in a row. She wants to see results. It might just happen.
 
Good morning all. I meant to get up early and work out before the kids were up. Of course I hit the snooze button twice before getting up. Then as I was dressing I realized Ewan was already awake (it was about 6:40 by then already. So no workout yet. x( I was afraid that would happen. Those kids will sleep in all week until the day I get up early to work out. Of course, I didn't make it up as early as planned anyway, so it's my own fault. I'll wait until I put Isaac on the bus.

I'm hoping to send Isaac to school today. He seems better and wanted a regular breakfast (they haven't even been interested in food while sick). So I'm hoping it goes well.

Shelley, I'm going to continue yelling in your head to "REST!!!"

Deb, I hope you get some spring-like weather soon. We had gorgeous weather yesterday, but of course except for a brief trip to the store I was stuck indoors with Pukey and Poopy. The next few days it's just going to be rain, rain, and more rain.

Jennifer, took me a minute to figure out why you were telling me to get a second opinion on the dentist--then I realized you must mean Robin. :) I hope your friend keeps up with the workouts; just remind her to also rest when she needs it.

Hello, all you Melters -

Well, last night I was supposed to do a no-impact Cardio Coach workout on my elliptical. I absolutely could not stand the thought of staying there in one place for a full hour. So... I did Step Blast! Ahhh, that was much better. I did have to quit early and do the Challenge section on the elliptical, but that was okay. I pedaled my guts out for what is it - 13 or 14 minutes? - and really worked hard.

Thanks to everyone who's been asking about the new mouse pad and keyboard tray. The new setup seems to be working really well. Yesterday I went home without a headache. How remarkable. ;)

Shelley - have you decided which day you'd like to designate as International Shelley Day? I'm in! Oh... can you arrange for our federal government to make it a holiday, please? Thanks. :p I'm glad your back is feeling better. See? We were right. Rest.

Deb - Gosh, you sound like me. Work, home, work home. Yep. I know the drill. It sounds like you had a good workout - and more important, that you enjoyed it!

Jennifer - I'm sorry to hear about the snow. Ugh. All my irises have huge buds that are going to open pretty soon! It's supposed to be near 80 today.

Lanie - I'm really glad to hear the kids are starting to get better! I haven't put that package in the mail yet... I need to find a box...:eek: I promise it'll get there!

Tneah - way to go on the bone scan and fat loss! I know that makes you feel good!

Robin - I'm glad you're still feeling relaxed from the vacation, even though you're back at work. That's really amazing, come to think of it. That must have been one heck of a nice vacation.
 
Got Isaac on the bus. Sure hope he does o.k. today. He really did seem better this morning. He didn't want to go but that doesn't mean he was still sick. He was practically bouncy this morning so I figured he could try going back.

Tneah, forgot to mention--I got your package yesterday! Yay! And I tried everything this morning before putting on any makeup. It came just in time since I noticed new lines on my forehead last night! Eek! I generally don't feel too wrinkly yet, though, at least.

Shannon, no hurry on the package--since it's out of your generosity and all. It will be something to look forward to.

I actually have a few things to look forward to now that Lent is over and I've already bought a couple things on the internet. I ordered a Jim Henson DVD set that includes Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and MirrorMask. I also ordered some clothes from Ann Taylor loft including this dress: http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalo...gory=Black&defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses and this shirt: http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalo...lade Green&defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses

I'm not sure if I have any business wearing that shade of green but it screams "Fun Spring Shirt!" at me.

OK, going to go do that workout now!

Geesh, you people are pushy! Rest, rest, rest!!! :p

Deb - are you expecting that stupid storm tonight? We're only on tap for a few inches, but the Niagara region is getting hit hard. Ugh.

Jennifer - have fun with ASC2!!

Shannon - oh YAY for Step Blast! I know it's your favourite! I'm glad the mouse set-up is working well.

Lainie - glad to hear Isaac is feeling better. Kids recover so quickly, don't they? And OMG I love that dress and shirt!!! You have great taste:)
 
Morning gang.

Shelley....well, you know what I'm going to say, so I won't waste the words.

JT, we are supposed to get about 1-3 inches of snow tonight, but the weatherman assured us it wouldn't make driving bad.

Shannon, glad to hear the new and improved mouse seems to be working.

Lainie, I'm happy the boys seem better. Now you stay healthy.

I'm not sure if I'll be doing a workout this afternoon. I was really tired and achy (all over, not knee) after KPC yesterday, so I'm thinking maybe I need a rest day. We'll see how I feel after work. If I do anything, it will be an upper body GS or PUB. I can't wait to get home and check the mail. I may be getting tneah's package, and I'm still waiting for Amy's In the Ring. If I don't workout and the new DVD arrives, maybe I'll just spend my time previewing it. Taa till later.
 
Lanie - that shirt is pretty classy! I think you'll look great in green. The dress... well forgive me, but I'm not much of a dress person. :p

Shelley - yep, we're a bunch of pushy broads.

Robin - if you decide to work out, join me with GS CT. Today is usually my rest day, but I want to get that over with and take Friday off. I hope you're not too achey today.
 
Hooray for Thursday!

It's so nice to be able to check in again on a day when I'm normally at work!

I was hoping to get my new Amy Bentos, but they didn't show up yesterday, so I might switch around my schedule and do GS Legs today, hoping that I can try one of her new ones tomorrow, if they show up today.

I'm feeling really bloated and gross today. We ended up going to Macaroni Grill for dinner last night, and I knew I would treat myself to something cheesy and yummy, but I'm still feeling sick this morning. I also had a half a glass of wine; it's been so long since I've had wine that it hit me right away!

I also couldn't find any cute new workout clothes at Kohls yesterday; nothing seemed to fit me right. Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend for lunch and some shopping since she has the day off at work, so I might look for something then. Of course, shopping with this friend always depresses me. She's 5'7" and literally a size 00 (yes, that's a double zero!). Whenever we go shopping, she always ends up grabbing her belly and saying how fat she is. Now that I've lost some weight, I don't feel quite so much like the Human Blob around her, but it still doesn't feel all that great to have someone complain about her weight when you are obviously a few sizes larger than her! Ug! Sorry to vent!


Shelley -- I'm so glad that you heard us yelling at you and you stayed in bed! Seriously, don't even think about a light run today if you're not feeling up for it later on! Give your back the time it needs to heal!! I'm joining Deb in the chant: REST REST REST!!!

Lainie -- I remember we had talked about P&P and Pers before! You have to get the film version of Pers -- it is *so* worth having! I not only have a huge crush on Colin Firth (as I think I've mentioned to you before), but also on Ciaran Hinds, who plays Cpt. Wentworth in Pers. I hope Isaac does OK at school today! Those new clothes you ordered are adorable! Don't you just love Loft?!

Shannon -- How fantastic that you left work without a headache! I hope that this is the sign of good things to come with NO MORE HEADACHES!

Deb -- Oops! Sorry about the weather comments!;-) How did you like the Christi Taylor workout? Is it one of her new ones?

Jennifer -- How was your 4DS workout last night? I hope that the weather clears up for you soon! The workout this weekend is with Amy Bento; she'll be in Los Angeles filming some new workouts on Sunday, so she's doing a free kickboxing class on Saturday! Isn't that great?! I'm in San Diego, so it'll be a couple of hours for me to drive up to LA, but I think it'll be a lot of fun! How great that your friend is keeping up with her workouts!

Robin -- Listen to Shelley -- be sure to take a rest day if you still feel sore! KPC can really creep up on you!

Tneah -- I bet we're either posting at the same time or you're getting your blood work done right now! Let us know how that blood work goes today. Seriously, though, be careful about losing any more body fat. I bet you look amazing right now, and don't need to lose any more fat at all! Speaking of which, it would still be so cool to see some photos of you! When is the work with Mr. Trainer officially done? Oh, and you shouldn't feel bad about not having read certain novels! There is so much that I haven't read! One of my old boyfriends gave me _A Moveable Feast_ right before I moved to France for a year, and I just loved it. Just thinking about it makes me want to go to Paris!;-) I don't really like Pound either. I think the key is to just read around until you find authors that just "click" with you!
 
Leanne - I hope you find some workout clothes you like! A friend like that would drive me crazy and make me feel like a rhino!

Speaking of Austen, I just ordered P&P yesterday, because apparently Sadie ate my copy. So as soon as it comes (Monday, I think), I'll be diving in again:)
 
Hey Kids

Just got back from giving the blood. My veins were not cooperating at all! The were "rolling" and the nurse said I was really dehydrated from fasting all night and not drinking anything this AM. It was yukky. But I did it, and get the results back in one week, then I consult with the DO, who by the way is one fine hunk of a man!:p He makes Cath's new workout buddies look like pipsqueeks. I am kinda embarassed though, have to talk to him about things like "peri-menopause".x( I just really want to understand what happens with the hormones and stuff. He offers supplements and alternative therapies to help counteract some of the aging process, including human growth hormones, which sound scary. B ut after researching, in the right hands of a knowledgable doctor, can be helpful to those who are not producing the important hormone anymore. We shall see what happens.

I would do personals, but need to go workout before it gets too late. I have shoulders/abs on tap, along with the usual 50 minutes of cardio. Will be back later to chat with you lovelies...oh, Lainie, I got sidetracked this AM by Ralph Lauren and all his fabo clothes! Darn him, for tempting me with the "big pony" polo shirts.:p Love the clothes you picked out, will look fantastic on you!
 
Famous Last Words: I don't need to rest today. Really, I feel pretty good, just some kicking-induced butt ache. Shannon, I'll join you. I did do ab work and push ups everyday on vacation, so I'm ready for GS chest work.

tneah, I bet I could have gotten your blood without any trouble.

Shelley, I really liked P&P. Especially after watching Bride and Prejudice.
 
Whoo hoo! I just got tneah's care package. Thanks for the goodies!

No Amy workout though, so I'm joining Shannon with GS CT.
 
OMG, I just lost my whole dang post into the ethers.x(

Glad to hear you got your package Robin, let me know if you have application questions.:) And I did think of you this AM as the nurse was searching for a vein.

Leanne, dump that friend. Or tell her the next time she starts whining about a nonexistent belly, "why don't you start working out with Cathe if you are feeling fat?"HA! That will shut her up right? And I am kidding about dumping your friend of course. I only have friends that are ten pounds heavier than me, buck toothed, bad skin and wear questionable clothing.;) that way, I always feel good about myself.Kidding of course.;) It just dawned on me you are going to Amy's workout class, how fun for you, and you want a new workout outfit to wear! Of course. Go look at Target, I saw some really cute stuff at the one in Fashion Valley mall.

Shelley, glad you rested that arse today. Have you got the package yet?

Deb, so whatta think about the products so far?

Jen-did you get yours? I am paranoid about packages not getting to where you mailed them to.


Lainie, how nice you are are shopping again! I ordered two bikini's from Ujena, they sell the tops and bottoms individually so I can actually find tops that cover the twins.

My personals sucked, I am sorry, I lost the good one. I did the whole of Imax2 plus shoulders/abs this morning--it was fun, but you have to be in a "perky" mood for that workout. But I loved this morning, it was a perfect 50 minute workout. I did modify those weird front to back hopping squats though..yuk.

Oh, and save your money on that stupid Jergens lotion-the 3 day stuff? It wears off really ugly, I am striped and look dirty, from head to toe.

Okay,
