I'm workin' it, I'm workin' it!!!
Morning! I actually dragged myself out of bed this morning and did Cardio and Weights. It's not my fave workout - she repeats the combos too many times and I get kinda bored, but at least it's done and tonight it'll be COMFY CLOTHES TIME!!
Gotta rush to the shower. I'll be back later for personals!

Hi, I'm back,
Shelly:
Good for you for getting up early today and getting that workout out of the way! I am sure you have not gained weight.. go for how your clothes fit and forget the scale. I sure hope it warms up. Sending you good luck vibes on getting into the JUly RT. Size 25? what size scale is that? like the men's sizes? if so, that must be the size a 10 year old boy would wear.. and you think you are gaining weight? You must look awesome!
Jennifer:
Flying ants? yuk! too bad the kitties aren't bug hunters too
Tneah:
Good for your DH sticking it out with the battle with the government! I can fully understand since my whole job is working with government agencies. Yes, "Fritz" is definitely a one person bird. :-( about the lower back..Get the ice cream, skip the leg work.. you deserve a break!
Robin:
The "co-worker" from hell...there is always one in every work place!}( ..and for some reason they never get fired. Why is that? No I don't think it is you. Some people just don't "play well" with others!
Shannon:
Good job getting that article out..if they get the second one to you will you have to work the weekend to get it done?
Lainie:
Funny, I lol when I saw the picture of the toy! Hope you are able to get into the RT!
Emily:
LIS/HIS double cardio?? I would be terrified! Cudos to you for being able to do this
Have a great day!

Hello Melters.
It's finally Wednesday and still no review yet. My CEO is known for giving the raise and the review later, which she is the primary person I've worked with since the New Year.
My cats do hunt insects, but I'm not comfortable with them going after the flying ants, which are big and black and icky.
My sister lives in NY, but we're not from there. Originally, the metro Detroit area.
Tneah-congrats on your DH for having the tenacity to deal with the government. That's something to celebrate.
Robin-The co-workers from Hell do know how to use the system and sabatoge others along the way, from my experience. Although, the truth comes out sometimes too late.
Shelley-I love C&W.
Emily-we're doing the same workout today. It's a good one.
Shannon-Hope you don't have to work the weekend.
Lainie-Do you plan on attending the RT?
Deb-Thanks for starting our thread daily. And, inspiring us to workout. somedays, like last night, I needed alot of encouraging but did cardiopower from 4DS.
Leanne-where are you?
Yeah, It's Wednesday!!

Good morning, everyone!
I think that after a few days of colder weather, spring is here to stay. Of course, it won't last long, and summer will arrive ...oh, about mid-May. No kidding. That's okay. I'm ready to see some green, some flowers, and all that stuff.
Last night was PUB, and I had a really good workout, especially my back. It sure feels good to work those bigger muscles!
Shelley - good for you! What are you going to do tonight, besides jumping into those comfy clothes?
Deb - does the dance workout have a lot of intensity, or is it a bit easier on the heart? I like dancy stuff, but it seems like it loses intensity. And heck no, I won't be working this weekend! No how, no way. And that's the end of that. :7
Jennifer - exactly how big are these flying ant of yours? They sound horrendous!

Morning again!
Deb - yes, the size 25 would be like men's sizing - I guess it's the inches, as opposed to some magical number like '6' I'm definitely NOT the size of a 10 year old boy. Well, maybe a husky 10 year old boy
Jennifer - ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww to your flying ants! Blech! I hope you get that review soon!
Shannon - I'm sure ready for some green too! We have crocus, but that's about it right now. Tonight I have to tidy and maybe play some Scrabble (I'm on a Scrabble binge!), maybe watch some Harry Potter with Sophie.

Good Morning
Deb, yes, thank you for getting us started and motivated to workout each morning. I actually skipped the leg workout last night and did a Spinervals instead.
Shelley, cardio and weights huh? Have not done that one in sooo long, I forgot all about it. But then again, I really haven't done circuit type training for awhile. Enjoy your comfy clothes. And your skinny jeans!
Jennifer, gross flying ants? My dog George likes to catch and eat flies which is pretty gross too.
Shannon, glad you had a terrific workout yesterday...I really do like the pyramids.
Well, cannot put off the leg workout today...think I will do an itread or iclimb and then attack the lower half. BBL to chat...

Howdy Melters! How're we all doing on this fine Hump Day?
I am having butt/hip problems. I won't bore you all with the details, but I think I'm going to replace one of my weight workouts each week (I'm doing 3 a week now) with Yoga. I've got some serious muscle imbalances that I need to address. So I did Yoga this morning. I like Yoga, and I love what it does for my body in terms of flexibility and balance, but I never feel "worked out" from it, which is why it's so hard for me to fit it into my schedule. I like to feel worked out, ya know? Oh well... enough of that.
Shelley, I feel the same way about C&W - the step combos go on too long. I have a tendency to skip through the last 2 rounds of each step combo (so I do each one only 4 times through instead of 6).\
Deb, LIS/HIS double cardio is such a misnomer, IMHO. It's not scary at all. It's just the cardio from LIS followed by the cardio by HIS. Nothing is doubled, contrary to the name of the premix. It's about an hour long - no different than, say, Step Blast, or an IMAX.
Jennifer, my cats like to hunt bugs too. Fortunately, we don't have many bugs in the house. When we first moved in to our house (which was a custom build, new construction) it was full of crickets. My cats would catch them, eat them, and somehow leave their legs behind. I still haven't figured out how they did it - do cats eat the whole cricket and spit out the legs? Or do they bite the legs off the cricket before they eat it?
Shannon, ain't it the truth about spring? It lasts for like 3 days, and then all of the sudden it's 90 degrees and 200% humidity. What's up with that???
Tneah, have fun with your leg workout!
Hope everyone else is having a lovely day!

Morning, everyone!
Aunt Flo arrived yesterday during my 12-hour day at work -- not fun. I'm in a foul, depressed mood, and feel as huge as a house today. I really need that mental health day, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to take it since I'm worried about getting behind schedule. We're down to the last six weeks (including finals week) of the semester, and still have so much to do.
So who else besides Lainie and Shelley is thinking about going on the Road Trip? I was hoping to be able to go, but don't think I'll be able to swing it.
Can I be whiny and self-absorbed and vent a little more today? Well, the last couple of years I've been doing extra committee work where I earn extra stipends. They're not much, but I've been saving them all for a big trip to Italy for DH and me. When DH did our taxes a few weeks ago, we got a nice little return this year, which means that we could do Italy this summer instead of trying up to save up one more year. That's really good news -- except that my in-laws and BIL are moving out to San Diego this summer, and the BIL is moving in with us for who knows how long! Since he's going to be here, we can't really just take off for a few weeks. Well, DH thinks we can, but I don't like the idea of leaving BIL alone. Not that he'd do anything weird, but I'm a super neat freak and control freak, and last time he was here at Christmas he dropped a glass of water and didn't notice that it splashed on some wood and warped it. What if something like that happens while we were gone?
The whole BIL moving in with us thing is also really stressing me out. DH won't ask him how long he's planning on staying with us, and I have a feeling that he'll be with us for at least six months, if not longer. He's a nice guy, but I need my alone time, and hate long-term company. I'm feeling really depressed about the whole thing. I've been working so hard the last couple of years to save up this money, and now we have to postpone the trip for even longer.
Anyways, sorry to go on and on like that! Thanks for listening!
Shelley -- Hooray for comfy clothes tonight! And hot dang, woman -- you probably just rock those size 25 jeans! Way to go!
Deb -- Way to go on all that melting! That is just so fantastic that you've lost that much this year! We'll miss you when you're gone. What day are you leaving?
Robin -- No, it's not you at all with those nasty co-workers! Both of them were clearly not doing what they were supposed to be doing. Glad that your supervisor will be back today so you can talk to her about the situation.
Lainie -- Love the Spider Man acrobatics! Isn't it fun to be in a silly mood? Is your ankle any better?
Emily -- Ah, those PMS cookie cravings can be hard to handle! Are you feeling better today? Edited to say: Looks like we were posting at the same time! Sounds like you need to get that muscle imbalance checked out! It doesn't sound good at all!
Shannon -- Glad that the editing is coming along on that proposal. Has your shoulder been better?
Tneah -- Glad that DH made it safely to DC yesterday. How long will be be gone for? When he gets back, you two will not have any more visitors for awhile, right? You need that alone time! How have you been feeling since you're no longer on the official program? It still sounds like you've been training hard and keeping everything up! That's awesome! Good luck working legs today!
Jennifer -- I saw you post on the OD forum about your friend Michelle, and think that it's so great that she's making so much progress. She's really lucky to have you as a friend since you give her so much support! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed on that raise and review for you.

Sending Leanne ((HUGS)). OK. After reading about BIL moving in with you, I wondered why this is??? If the family is moving to SD why is BIL moving in with you guys? Why not the parents? That is so NOT fair to you at all. I would be livid. Its different if there was a set time, like a week or so, but I am assuming this is an adult man right? Why would he live with his brother and his wife? You have every right to be upset, I would put my foot down if I were you. In a gentle way at first, then stomp it, if that fails to get your point across. Forgive me if there is something I am not aware of, is he sick, or something like that?
You and your DH have been working hard and saving for that trip, and you don't need to be worrying about whether BIL is spilling beer on your coffee tables the whole time you are gone. I am like you, I need my space...sorry, but you need to talk to your DH and get this situation under control before they all get out to SD. You deserve a wonderful trip you worked hard for, and you deserve your space.
I am coming off a weekend with a totally irresponsible/immature 32 year old (DH's daughter)and am still feeling the burn from it.x( so after reading your post I got pissed off all over again!
You are not as big as a house--please refer to your size 0 jeans for reference here. Take a deep breath and know it'll all be better tomorrow. If you talk to your DH about this right away!
You need a mental health break, I think I might need a weight training break! I did my cardio workout this morning, but am putting off the leg workout for the gym this afternoon. Truth be told? I really do not enjoy weight training, never have. Just know its something as a woman you have to do. So I thought maybe getting into the gym and being around others working out hard will get that fire lit today. I am still following the diet plan of course, it really works for me, especially since I get my cheat day on Sundays. OK, think I should shower and get my day started now...

Hey Tneah -- Thanks so much for the hugs and well wishes!!! Yes, the whole BIL thing is very frustrating. He's 35 years old (!!), but moved back in with their parents about two years ago after getting divorced a few years before that and deciding to go back to school for his AA degree. The plan was for him to get back on his feet and out of debt a bit. When they all made the decision to move out here, they were all three going to move in with us until they got an apartment (the in-laws and BIL), but fortunately the in-laws decided to just get an apartment straight away. For some reason though, the BIL said he's still planning to move in with us, with no indication of how long he's planning on staying for. I mean -- he's a grown man who has now saved up all this money by moving back in with his parents, and yet he's still planning on moving in with us for who knows how long. I've talked with Mike about it (and have been in tears over it a few times), but he feels bad asking his brother how long he'll be with us. UGGGG! Sorry to vent!:-(
You should definitely take a weight training break -- and not feel bad or guilty about it all all!! You've been working so hard and doing so much, so you shouldn't feel bad if you skip legs today! I thought, too, that you weren't going to continue with those twice-a-day workouts! Can you cut back on those a bit and still maintain where you're at? You need some break time, chica!;-)

Afternoon all!
Leanne - first off, sending hugs. Girl, you are NOT big as a house. Shall I post my nine months preggo picture and you can see what big as a house looks like? I agree you need to go to your closet and pull out those Size 0 jeans! And back up a minute. This 35 y/o BIL of yours sounds like he's taking advantage. Me being me, I would outright say to him "So Bill, how long do you think it'll take you to find a place to live?". Because hello? Your house is not a college dorm! You definitely deserve that trip you've been saving for and should be able to go without having to worry about your place while you're gone! I would be just as frustrated as you are. Well, except I think I'm more of a beeyotch, so I'd be quite vocal with my SO about it all.
Tneah - I also think you should consider scaling back those workouts. I would hate to see you burn completely out from working too hard!

Oh please, that boy sounds like he is mooching. Be what Shelley said she is a "beeyotch!" Life is way to short to live part of it with a BIL.
I know, my weights might have to wait this week you guys, I am losing the motivation, not the energy (my meds are starting to work) but the motivation...we shall see what happens...have to go buy groceries now..

I was going to do a walking workout, but instead I just took an actual walk. It's a beautiful day out there, after all. I'm also planning on doing some gardening after I finish here. It is really gorgeous out there. I love spring time here.
I also managed to swing by Kohl's. I was planning on only returning some stuff, but instead ended up buying more stuff. Oops. The problem is you have to go all the way to the back of the store to return things, so of course you pass everything else on the way. I bought a couple skirts, some solid color tees, and 3 pairs of shoes. I'll put links to the shoes in a separate post, I think.
Big DOMS from the workout yesterday (workout #1 from KCM's 30-Minutes to Fitness). My abs are really sore.
Shelley, good job making it up early and finishing a workout. I always like the feeling of finishing early, but can rarely drag my carcass out of bed early enough.
Deb, your bird is named Fritz? We used to have a shaggy black dog with that name. My sister taught him to jump the chainlink fence when she sprayed him with the hose. Then he ended getting run over, so I blame her for that. Poor Fritz.
Jennifer, I think I just misread something you wrote and thought you meant NY was where you were from. Silly me. Yeah, I hope to go on a RT (maybe July) but still trying to convince the hubby it's worth the money. How about you?
Shannon, I think spring has sprung here as well! I love it. And my color palette is spring so I feel like I really shine in my springey clothes.
Shelley, I'd kill to fit in 25" pants. Argh. Well, maybe not kill, but I might actually diet. Probably need to do some of that anyway. I remember a time when my measurements were 36, 24, 36 and I totally did not appreciate myself.
Tneah, somehow I just remembered you sent me that diet plan info. I haven't tried it yet but maybe I need to. I did not enjoy the fact that I'm buying bigger skirts this year. x( I think it will help now that the weather is getting nicer. I tend to do a lot of walking when the weather is nice.
Emily, hope you can make time for some yoga. I have trouble fitting it in, too, though I like it. For instance, I was going to go back to yoga class on Friday, but instead scheduled a haircut for that time (I do really really need a cut).
Leanne, I felt guilty reading your post about your BIL moving in with you. Don't know how old he is or anything, but it reminded me of how I moved in with my brother and his wife right after college for a few months. I was probably a terrible house guest for my SIL, too. My brother enjoyed it more because we'd goof off together, but my very clean and tidy SIL was probably very annoyed with me. I hope you can find a way to travel this summer! The ankle is giving me little twinges today, but not bad. I didn't even put the brace thingey on it this morning like I have been doing.

The problem is you have to go all the way to the back of the store to return things, so of course you pass everything else on the way. I bought a couple skirts, some solid color tees, and 3 pairs of shoes. I'll put links to the shoes in a separate post, I think.
Big DOMS from the workout yesterday (workout #1 from KCM's 30-Minutes to Fitness). My abs are really sore.
Shelley, good job making it up early and finishing a workout. I always like the feeling of finishing early, but can rarely drag my carcass out of bed early enough.
Deb, your bird is named Fritz? We used to have a shaggy black dog with that name. My sister taught him to jump the chainlink fence when she sprayed him with the hose. Then he ended getting run over, so I blame her for that. Poor Fritz.
Jennifer, I think I just misread something you wrote and thought you meant NY was where you were from. Silly me. Yeah, I hope to go on a RT (maybe July) but still trying to convince the hubby it's worth the money. How about you?
Shannon, I think spring has sprung here as well! I love it. And my color palette is spring so I feel like I really shine in my springey clothes.
Shelley, I'd kill to fit in 25" pants. Argh. Well, maybe not kill, but I might actually diet. Probably need to do some of that anyway. I remember a time when my measurements were 36, 24, 36 and I totally did not appreciate myself.
Tneah, somehow I just remembered you sent me that diet plan info. I haven't tried it yet but maybe I need to. I did not enjoy the fact that I'm buying bigger skirts this year. x( I think it will help now that the weather is getting nicer. I tend to do a lot of walking when the weather is nice.
Emily, hope you can make time for some yoga. I have trouble fitting it in, too, though I like it. For instance, I was going to go back to yoga class on Friday, but instead scheduled a haircut for that time (I do really really need a cut).
Leanne, I felt guilty reading your post about your BIL moving in with you. Don't know how old he is or anything, but it reminded me of how I moved in with my brother and his wife right after college for a few months. I was probably a terrible house guest for my SIL, too. My brother enjoyed it more because we'd goof off together, but my very clean and tidy SIL was probably very annoyed with me. I hope you can find a way to travel this summer! The ankle is giving me little twinges today, but not bad. I didn't even put the brace thingey on it this morning like I have been doing.

Lainie- girl, you have fabulous taste. I absolutely adore those first ones. Wish I could find something like that here.

Thanks, Shelley. I was really tempted to get those in fuchsia instead of white, but decided to go a more practical route. Maybe I'll still go back some time and see if they still have the fuchsia.

Thanks, ladies, for all the hugs and good advice! I feel much better after hearing your sweet words! Sorry to have gone off like that, but the whole situation is just so upsetting. I'll have to talk more about it with DH to see if he can ask his brother more directly what's going on.
Tneah -- I'm so glad that the new meds are starting to kick in and make you feel better! You really should consider scaling back on those workouts, though. We don't want you getting burnt out!:-( Did you get any healthy treats at the store?
Shelley -- Thanks for the hugs! You are not at all a beeyotch!It's good to speak your mind, and I need to feel comfortable doing more of it. How is Sophie feeling? Is she better and back at school this week?
Lainie -- I know what you mean by walking through Kohl's when you return stuff -- I always end up buying something new instead! Those new shoes are just ADORABLE! They're all so cute and perfect for spring. Makes me want to go shopping. Can't wait until some consistent warm weather gets here! And you shouldn't feel bad about living with your DB and SIL for awhile; after all, it's one thing when you're young and right out of college, but another thing altogether when you're older.
Just did GD Back/Sh/Bis, with the abs from MM thrown on at the end. I just made a new concoction as my protein shake: 1 c. skim milk, 1/2 c frozen raspberries, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1/3 c uncooked oatmeal. It's not too bad. Now I better go shower and then get back to more grading. I have seven more essays left to grade, and then I'm calling it a day!
