Goodmorning Deb. Sorry for not trusting that you were up an at 'em! The pictures you posted yesterday are so cute! How did you get Keegan to stay still long enough to snap such great pictures?
Tneah, safe and fun-filled trip! I hope you get a chance to post while you're gone. The thread will be pretty un-nippley without you.
Kristi, the same goes for you! Have a wonderful time in Chi-town. When do you get home?
Shelley, what great news about an unexpected long weekend! I have next Thursday and Friday off, but have to work the weekend.
Morning to Leanne, Kara, Shannon, Allison and Jennifer.
So I'm going to start trying to melt again. I've gained about 4 pounds since I got home from vacation, mostly due to the downhill slide that began with my birthday. (Evil day - I don't want to ever see another!) I really have to get serious about what I eat. I'm going to try the food-journaling route again. Help keep me on the straight and narrow, ladies!

Morning chickens!
Well, I managed to get up this morning and run with Grace - iTread 9 for 6.12 miles! Yay me!
Robin - I got your back on the melting. I'm right with you. My eating has been terrible!
Deb - I need to check out the Keegan pics! Back soon!

Kristi - Chris works for a company called Games Workshop. They actually only make one game It's little models that you put together and paint and then you play a tabletop strategy game with them. You can check it out at www.games-workshop.com Your Chi-town trip sounds jam-packed but fun! Oh, and I'm *still* from Canada I live in Hamilton, Ontario, which is just around Lake Ontario from Toronto. And here's more than you ever wanted to know about Canada Day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_day
Okay, I must shower. I'm dripping. It's gross

I WANNA LIVE IN CANADA! hmph. x( No fair. I've never even been there. OMG, Shelley--my sister's best friend lives in Toronto and she's going there on Saturday for a few days. I can't believe how close she'll be to you! I'm so jealous. x(
Anyway, Good morning! I had to search for the thread this morning--it was super far down on the page.
I kicked absolute arse with my workout this morning. I feel so good! I did 4DS HIS cardio, then LIC Cardio only and then Bootcamp (original) Cardio only. It was about 80 minutes long. I'm so proud of myself.
Today's the dreaded Thursday....school tonight. I hate Thursdays because of it. Mostly because they're just such long days. I'm up early to workout, then work until 5 then go straight to school until 10pm and then I have a half hour drive home. Ugh. Did I mention that I'm not a fan of Thursdays?...
I think we should all take next Tuesday off in honor of Shelley and Canada Day. Sound good? Good.
I'll be back. (Said in my best Ahnold voice...)
ETA: Nice run this morning, Shell!!!

Good morning, all!
I woke up at 4:00 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so finally got out of bed at 4:30. The in-laws are arriving this afternoon at 1:00 or 2:00, and I know it's the stress that got me up so early. I don't think that MIL is planning on staying the weekend here, like she was originally going to, but today is the day when BIL will be moving in. Ug!
Today I think I'm going to attempt to do all of Amy B's Hi/Lo Knockout. That one kicks me in the behind, and lately, in this heat, I haven't been doing the whole thing.
Shelley -- HOORAY about that long weekend! That is so awesome! And high 5's on your workout this morning! How awesome!
Deb -- Aw, thanks for posting the pix of Keegan! He is just the cutest thing ever!
Robin -- You know we're here to help keep you on track with the eating! It's soooo hard to come back from vacation and not stay in vacation-eating mode.
Kristi -- Shucks, I was just teasing about the Texas hair. That dinner sounded great! Is Katie the healthier of the girls? No, I'm not at all ready (mentally, at least!) for the guests! We're going to miss you, too, when you leave on Sunday! :-(
Tneah -- I'm so sad that you're leaving us! :-( You'll have a blast at the wedding! Eat, enjoy, and don't stress about not working out!
I'll be back later to check in with everyone else.
So what is our new word of the day?:+

Good Morning All
Well I am up and drinking my coffee, shower then off to Florida. Our flight leaves at 9:30am, we will not get to Florida until 5:30pm...gosh, isn't flying so much fun? I am stocking up on ibuprofen, I get all muscle crampy when I sit for long periods at a time, hopefully I will be able to nap a minute or two en route cause that makes time fly by.
Well, I will miss you all very much, but will be back Sunday night.
Bon voyage to Kristi as well...take care guys, exercise, eat well and keep on meltin'.:7 Oh, and I will be joining you Robin for sure when I return...I am still adjusting from stopping my thyroid meds, and will have to watch my diet more closely. Bye!

Good morning, everyone!
Deb - Keegan is so dang cute! Almost as cute as my dog. Thanks for the photos!
Robin - well, if you want to melt, this is the place to be! Good luck with that. I will *not* be joining you.
Shelley - a five-day weekend????? Oh wow! What're you gonna do with yourself????
Allison - good grief, woman, what a workout! What got into you? And first thing in the morning? I'm very, very impressed. I hope your day goes okay. I think I'd just skip school.
Leanne - well, I guess "the day" had to come, huh? I'll keep hoping that BIL doesn't stick around too long... Maybe you should take a nice long walk outside today to try to de-stress. Or maybe you should tell your MIL and BIL to do that.
Tneah - I hope you have a safe flight and a good trip!!! I'll miss you!
You know, I think the combination of CC and 4DS is wearing me out! Using 30 min of CC in place of Cathe's cardio is a lot harder! I like it though. It's totally different, and I do believe the old bod is getting quite shaken up. }( Today is the last day - 4DS legs, and I might do the BC cardio. I'm feeling an urge to get off that elliptical and move around a bit. We'll see. If not, it'll be 30 minutes from volume 5.

Hi, everyone,
Sounds like everyone is up and at it this morning! I'll do GSBSB in a bit along with the step segments from IMAX 3 -- a few weeks ago I spent hours learning them -- hope I still remember.
Robin -- I will DEFINITELY be melting along with you after we get back from vacation!
Shelley -- you rock! awesome workout this morning! OMG, that game would've been so up Todd's alley when he was younger (probably now, too, if he had time)!! And thank you for the lesson on Canada Day!! I feel so edified this morning.
Allison -- you rock, too! awesome workout! Sorry it's your long, icky Thursday. Hope it's a good day otherwise.
Leanne -- I'm so sorry you got up so early -- probably no chance of a nap, huh? I'll be sending you tons of positive vibes today!! A really good, hard workout would probably really help with the stress and frustration!
Shannon -- Enjoy your workout today -- it's good to shake up the old bod now and then, I think.
Tneah -- you're probably gone by now, but I'm sending good travel vibes!
HI to Deb, Kara, Lainie, and Jennifer.

Hello again. Especially hello to Lainie, who I forgot to list earlier.
Tneah, goodbye again. Have fun, you nipplious babe!
Allison, great job on the workout! Have fun with your beloved Thursday. It will be Friday before you know it!
{{{Leanne}}} Hugs to you and your SH. Hopefully, your BIL will move out sooner rather than later.
Kristi, dang, I have got to drag out one of the IMAX workouts. I haven't done them in so long. Have fun with yours.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do on Saturday. We had planned a picnic in a state park with a lovely creek for swimming. It's supposed to rain and DD has to work. Maybe I'll just stay home and do all the yard work that has been growing. DH has suggested going out to dinner somewhere nice so I can wear one of the new dresses I got a month ago. I'm not sure if that is a good idea with my new resolve to melt.

Robin - I agree with Kristi. You can find something safe to eat! Wear that new dress and enjoy.
Kristi - I'd say that you need to get the computer fixed first, before you start work. Otherwise, you'll just go crazy, fighting with the darned thing. So turn it off, forget about work, and wait for the repair guy. :7

Got ready earlier than I thought so peeked back into our melty thread...waiting for the taxi...wanted to tell Robin to wear that sexy dress and go drink some wine and eat good food with DH!:+ Pleeezze...?
You can melt on Monday, that is what Monday's are for right? Life is way too short not enjoy your DH and the sharing of a wonderful meal wearing a beautiful dress.
OK, really, I am outta here now! Love and :* :* to all...

Thanks for all the hugs, everyone! I need them today!
Bye, bye, Tneah! I miss you already!:-(
Robin -- Yes, wear that fancy new dress, and go get a nice dinner with DH! Like Kristi and Shannon said, you can probably find something healthy like fish on the menu. You deserve a nice night out!
Kristi -- Sounds like Shannon's idea is a smart one -- maybe call the repair person so you don't lose any of your work! Is it an old computer? I'm sending positive computer vibes your way!!! I bet those step segments from Imax 3 will come right back to you! That one took me *so* long to learn! I was so proud of myself when I could finally do the whole thing without pausing for extra breaks after each segment. Nah, there's probably no chance of a nap today, but I'll try to get to bed super early tonight.
Shannon -- How is work going? Is it still going smoothly? Wow -- You're also rocking with those CC workouts and the 4DS! I need to get out my 4DS and do it soon. I love the cardio in 4DS, but the weight sections always feel so rushed to me, I guess b/c I'm not used to doing such short segments.
Allie -- How did I miss your post from earlier?? You snuck right by me! How was your sleep last night? Any better? Hooray for that awesome workout this morning! Wow! 80 minutes?! You rock, babe!

Hello everyone. Busy day here. Isaac has a half-day of school, so as soon as I got him on the bus, I took Ewan with me to the grocery store. Then I had to go to the liquor store (yes, I took my toddler to the liquor store--but it's not a seedy one--it's a nice mostly-wine one next to the grocery store). I really miss living in Europe where I could buy my wine right at the grocery store. Heck, think I could even down in Houston. Of course in Houston we also had drive-in beer barns (not that I ever went to one).
So then I came home, put away stuff, and have been cleaning again. Pretty soon I have to go to the bus stop again to pick Isaac up. Tomorrow he only has school for an hour (which is just ridiculous--just their way of technically getting the proper amount of days in the school year, I think). I also find out today what class Isaac will be in next year. They have 3 different kinds of classes, a multi-age class (12 1st graders and 12 2nd graders in one class), a regular kind of class, and a class that includes regular kids and IEP students (which I think is kids with learning disabilities or something--not sure what the IEP means).
I'm not sure when and if I'll work out today because I still have loads of cleaning to do!
Crap--gotta run to bus stop. BBL

Alright! Alright! Guess I'm going on a date Saturday night. I've made it through breakfast and lunch eating clean. Of course, my downfall is always dinner and right after.
Lainie, I think IEP is individual education plan. Tristan never had one, but should have. He should have been in special education all along, with an aid, but we were so dumb we thought the educators were on our side. Later, when we tried to get services through the county, one of their arguments against his being retarded was that he graduated from school without an IEP. Now he has an annual ISP, individual service plan.
Kristi, hope the computer gets fixed and it's smooth sailing.
Oy, back to work.

Hey Lainie Bug -- It's so good to see you, but it sounds like you've had a busy day already! What a pain that Isaac only has school for an hour tomorrow. Is there maybe a park or something nearby where you could take Ewan for a bit while you wait for Issac tomorrow? Hope you get your workout in today! What do you have planned?
Robin -- Oh, how awful that you had to deal with all that for Tristan. It seems like in California the special ed programs really are on the side of the students, parents, and families, but maybe I'm just naive about it. DH had to take some special ed classes for his high school credential, and the ISP's are really emphasized here. Hooray for date night on Saturday! Get that fancy dress on, have a nice glass of wine, a wonderful dinner -- and don't worry about melting until Sunday or Monday! I'm the same as you -- I'm really good with my eating during the day, but at night it's so hard to be good!
Is anyone else checking in with any of the RT check-ins? I've been checking in with the August one the last couple of days, and I feel like I'm somehow cheating on my lovely Melty friends. I figured this was a nice way to get to know more of the August folks! I changed my avatar, too, so I'd look like me in August.
Just got done doing Amy B's Hi/Lo Knockout. That's such a fun one, and I love the music! It's bumpin'! Hope Kara and Jennifer get a chance to check in today!
Not sure if I'll get a chance to check back in later since the in-laws will be here in a couple of hours, but I'll try my best. If you hear any screaming coming from California, you'll know it's me. ;-) Hope you all have wonderful afternoons! Love you gals! :*

OK, I still owe on personals but I'm still busy. Got the boys fed and got Ewan down for a nap, but Brian is on an earlier train than expected so now I really have to clean house a bit. Plus we have T-ball night tonight--we're done with the games but this is the trophy presentation, blah blah blah. It's supposed to go from 5-8 which seems a bit long to me. Ugh. Plus Brian might not get here in time to go with us. Double ugh.
OK, hope to BBL but it's a bit frantic now.
Love to all.
