Good Morning,

Just getting us started....I just did an I-Tread..messed up by trying to pump up the volume...it went to the next workoutx( ...I hate when that happens! So I had to do the last 10 minutes of a different workout....oh well, at least I stayed on the TM and finished..

Off to shower and breakfast...BBL :)

Deb
 
Good morning, everyone -

Deb - yes, finishing that workout is what's important! Just consider it a new iTread mishmosh or something. Who knows - maybe some day it will be your favorite combo. ;)

Well, the weekend wasn't just one of the best I've ever had, but it's over. I did find a job that I applied for online. It's in a town that would cut my commute IN HALF. So keep your fingers crossed that I at least get an interview.

Today is a cardio day for me. I'm debating whether I should be brave and try Step Blast, or if I should keep it low impact. I wouldl modify those blasts at the end. I did some jumping in place yesterday, and I'm not having any aches or anything this morning!

Oh... I ate three chocolate chip cookies and one brownie yesterday. There. I confessed. x( I think I'm officially "junk fooded out" for a while. I will NOT take out the tape measure to see what sort of damage I did, though. I really don't want to know. :p

I'll bbl for more personals!
 
Hi everyone. It is bitterly cold out there this morning--nasty cold wind. I can take cold pretty well, but I hate those winds.

This morning I have physical therapy. I'm supposed to do lower body and abs today--I think the PT will cover lower body because it's pretty tough lately. Then I'll come home and do abs some time this afternoon. I think the speech therapist also comes by at 11:30 right after Ewan's home from school. Busy day. Of course, what I really want to do is take a nap.... Typical.

Speaking of which, I'm going to get up and move around for a few minutes before I take Ewan to nursery school--otherwise I'm going to fall asleep sitting here.

Top of the Mornin' To Ya!:) *said in my best Irish accent*

Whew. So glad I am home, back to my beloved Cathe cardio this morning, not sure which one to do. Maybe LIC cardio only plus the blast add ons.
My computer is faster than lightning again too, this is so nice, not having to reboot every other minute.Although I received my Spinervals workouts, the really intense ones because I am getting better on my spin bike. But I think I need to get a gel cushion for my seat, it irritates that sciatic nerve when I sit too long on it.

Deb, I have done that very same thing with itreads, but like Shannon said, the important thing is you got your workout in for the day!:)

Shannon, will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you! If its meant to be, it will happen. And a few treats are NOT going to show up on your tape measure, I promise and know this from experience.;)

Lainie, wake up woman. You poor sleepy baby. I think being a mommy is enough to wear anyone out, so you are doing a fantastic job, your are a mommy, plus you workout and take care of your home,etc...I feel guilty being tired when I think about how others live, with kids, with stressful commutes to jobs they hate....I do not have kids, and my job? I love it, and can do it from home. I just don't like the moronic people (from the office)I have to deal with on occasion.

I went shopping yesterday, so all the food is bought for this week...yeah!The house is clean, etc...so today is kinda like a restful day until the Salt Lake City boys come down tomorrow.
Hi to Leanne and Shelley! BBL....
 
Good morning, everyone!

I woke up in a good mood today -- on Friday, DH and I will both be officially on spring break! Now if I can only manage to get all the work done that I have to in the coming four days! How is everyone doing today?

Today I'll be tackling Imax 3 and a segment of Core Max. My knees have actually been bothering me a bit lately with the high impact stuff, but I'm hoping that they will get back to normal soon.

I'm actually thinking of getting a Troy Lite barbell, and posted some questions about it in the Open Discussion section. Do any of you have one? The BB I have right now is this really cheap one that is a pain in the neck to use. I have a little extra money coming in from some textbook reviews I did last month, so I thought that this might be a good way to spend it.

What did you all think of the STS blog photos from the weekend? I'm just getting so excited about this program!


Deb -- How frustrating about your workout this morning! Did you make a decision on getting a new puppy?

Shelley -- Hey, early bird! Where are you at this morning?

Lainie -- How funny that your DH buys more expensive shoes than you! I think you need to work on him to let you get that stationary bike. How great that the Mat Step has been working out so well! How has that been working? Only one more week until you can shop again!

Shannon -- Now don't feel guilty at all about those cookies and that brownie! Sometimes we just need those treats to function better, right?! Keep us posted on that new job! I'll also be keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get an interview!

Tneah -- Glad you made it back to Vegas safely! Did you hit any traffic? How is the writing coming along on the book? Enjoy those Spinerval workouts!

Jennifer -- "Hi" if you check in again!
 
Hi everyone. Sorry I wasn't around much this weekend. I'm in a weird mood and not feeling much like talking. My apologies.

I'm not very happy with myself right now because my eating has been atrocious. I had some girlfriends over on Saturday. One of them brought an entire chocolate mousse cake from Costco. And she left it at my house. It's evil. I need to just throw it out.

I'll try to bbl for personals.
 
Hey all -- Michele responded to a post on the OD forum, and I told her we all missed her! She said to say "hi" to everyone! It sounds like she's really busy right now!

ETA: Here is Michele's actual post:

I miss my Melting friends, too. My life has been so crazy lately, and I've been overwhelmed with everything on my plate, so I decided to step back a bit from the forums and limit my posts to the Hater's thread, and a few random threads. I try to at least read the Melter's thread on occasion, just so I can see what y'all're up to . Please pass my love and best wishes on to everyone in Meltsville!


Hey Shelley -- Cheer up, babe! Seriously -- just throw that cake into the trash right now! Do not feel bad about it!! Or bring it to work or Sophie's school!
 
OMG. I just had the worst workout (I did LIC cardio+the blast add-on)!x(

Someone wanna tell me why it felt so hard? Crap, I hate those days when your legs feel like they weigh a ton and your energy and heart just aren't into it? Plus, I had a rest day yesterday, so whats up? Oh yeah, PMS}( It effects my energy levels pretty bad some months, so I am chocking that crummy workout to PMS, plus strange as it sounds, I got used to doing the itrain workouts and I sorta missed Grace this AM.:) Do not get me wrong, I love Cathe, but I have never loved stepping, so maybe thats it. Oh well. I still have to work legs today and do my evening cardio, guess I will be sucking down the coffee today.And my boobs are the size of watermelons...ick. TMI, sorry.

Shelley, so I bought a jar of sugar free hot fudge topping yesterday cause I was really needing something sweet. I ate a few tablespoons (it was actually pretty gross) and then tossed the rest in the trash. I know it sounds wasteful, but I have to do that with treats and stuff, otherwise I wind up "picking" at them all day and all night long. I know myself, so into the trash it goes, I probably should not buy it at all, I know. But don't beat yourself up. Spray window cleaner on that darn cake and be done with it!;) And a few days of crappy eating will not erase all the good eating you do, so scratch your arse and get glad. ((HUGS))

In fact I have a bunny bundt pan I am dying to use. But I know if I make it for the guys, I will wind up "picking" at the frosting....:( until I eventually toss it in the trash...another reason I stopped buying peanut butter, I cannot stop eating it once I start!

Shoot, its just one of those days isn't it? :p :) Leanne, thanks for the Michele update..she is so cute, we miss her over here.BBL to whine some more.;)
 
Wait a minute! Shelley, was yesterday your birthday???:) :)

When is your birthday??? Don't worry, I am going to be 42 this May, and look at it this way, we are in very, very good company. Halle Berry is 42, Gwen Stefani is 39..still, close enough, who else? Hum, all I know is 40-something looks pretty darn good.;)
 
Lainie! Do me a favor and PM Shelley's address? I lost it in the mix and shuffle....;) thanks chica (love your word)
 
Tneah, I actually don't have Shelley's email. I was surprised myself not to find it when I went to look for it, since I feel like she's one of my closest Cathe friends. I usually contact her here or via Facebook, though, so I guess that's why I don't need her email address.

Hello Melters.

Hope you all had a Great Monday, glad this "eating" day is about done..3 cupcakes later..I was considering taking a week off of working out but that might not happen.

The men are looking fine on the Blog...

Friday is a vacation day for me, only 3 more full days to go.
 
Are you talking about me?:p

No, it wasn't my birthday on the weekend. I'll be 44 on the 28th. Tneah, is it my e-mail addy or regular addy you're looking for? E-mail is [email protected]

And Lainie - you're driving me crazy with this gift thing!!!
 
Since you didn't ask--actually none of you did! I am sending Shelley some of our products for her birthday.:) It was your address I needed again, but then I found it. I wanted it to be a surprise, well, I guess I am not good at surprises.;) So happy early bird birthday Shelley!

PS> I am more than happy to send anyone else product-no charge of course, they are fabulous and free.;-) Just send me your address and I will ship tomorrow or this week sometime.And don't be shy, seriously, I love to send people stuff, I really believe in our products and like others to use them as well.

Just got done working the legs at the gym-actually my energy levels rose a bit this afternoon so it was a great workout. I am pooped now though and need a shower badly.:)
 
Hey folks,

I just got done reading the afternoon posts, and you guys are just so sweet and so much fun!

I'll miss you when I'm at work tomorrow, but will see you all on Wednesday morning!

Shelley -- Are you feeling better? Sending you {{{HUGS}}}!

Jennifer -- Sometimes cupcakes are a necessary part of a healthy day -- mental health, that is, right?!;-)

Tneah -- Don't feel bad about missing Cathe! Grace sounds like a wonderful substitute, and I'm sure you get an awesome workout with her, too!

Lainie -- How are you doing today? I still owe you an email!:)
