Good Morning Ladies. :)

Since I'm sick I was having trouble sleeping last night. Woke up for the final time about an hour ago and just couldn't fall back to sleep so I finally got up. I took cold medicine so hopefully I'll feel better soon. I hate being up this early. I'm gonna be sooo tired during the party. x(

Not much to report on the exercise/diet front...Haven't worked out since friday. Doing okay w/my eating I guess but my cals are coming in too low now that I'm sick. My BIG cal day works out to be today though so that's WONDERFUL! That means I can eat more than a forkful of all of the delish food we'll have goin' on!}( :9 :+ Not MUCH more than a forkful, but hey, it's better than nothin' right? ;)

I am charging the batteries in my digital camera as we speak so that I can get pics today to show you gals. Would like to get some shots of Joey with relatives and friends of mine. Tired of posting pics of his DADDY!:p LOL

TTYS!:)
 
Good morning Wendy and everybody else...

Wendy ~~ I'm sorry you're sick and on Christening day. :( Hopefully you'll get your second wind before the party. Have fun with the wonderful food today, big calorie days are fantastic!! I know, I just had two in a row :7 ... Friday and Saturday, but all was in control, just circumstances and food availability made it difficulty to eat at a deficit yesterday. Today I am back to day one of deficit.

Kali - it sounds like Matt had a wonderful BD party. What a lucky little boy. Great job on keeping control during the party and I hope today's weigh in is good for you. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. Yes, ME will kick my rear today too, it always does!!

Terri - I hope you had fun at the movies.

Hello to all that follow. Working today, so getting ready to start.

TTYL
 
Good Morning,

And once again, it is good night for me:) One more night shift to go and then I am off for a couple of days.Last night wasn't to bad.I brought a couple of movies to work and I watched them both.I have been up now since 4:30 so when I get home I will be going straight to bed and hoping to sleep until after lunch.

Wendy-Enjoy your day.Is it possible that you could take a nap sometime? Its to bad when we have big plans then we get sick.Why does it always have to be like that? I guess you got a little run down b/c you have had so much going on.

Im not sure what workout I am doing today.Once again...have to look at the rotation:) I shouldn't have any problems getting my workouts in for the next week or so.Uh,I just stretched and realized how tight my arms were from yesterdays workout.
I have to say, I did enjoy doing KPC and I should try to do it atleast once a week.I think all the kicking and twisting could slim down my waistline.And I also love the ab section after.I never do it though b/c I bought those workouts on VHS so I have to fastforward to get to that part.
I will check in when I wake up.Have a good day everyone!
Lori:)
 
Glad to see I'm not the only one awake at this hour on a Sunday morning...:p

Jane, working on a Sunday???

Lori, get some sleep and then get in a kick butt w/o!!!

The cold med I took appears to be working. I feel better than I did when I got up. Thank goodness. I would go back to bed for a bit but I KNOW that would be worse as I REALLY won't want to get up then! I'm just gonna bite the bullet and stay up...

Oh and BTW girls, for the wedding on friday night I didn't wear the dress originally intended...I pulled out this little number I had purchased on sale at mandees a lOOONG time ago and never wore because I was too chicken! :p LOL It's a little black curve hugging halter dress with a PLUNGING neck line...even with the extra weight on me I was able to pull it off quite nicely! ;) I was soooo happy! }( Sorry, no pics...I wish I had though now that I think about of it. Darn!

ETA: I had a few people (at the wedding) compliment me directly or tell DH how great I looked since having a baby only 4 months ago. Made me feel like a million bucks!!! THANK YOU CATHE!!!!:+
 
Wendy... I know that did make you feel like a million!!!

Yes.. working. yuck!! But when you work for a hospital, there are no holidays, weekends, etc.. everyday is like another. You just have to put in for any time off you get and we only work one weekend a month which isn't bad and get comp days during the week of that weekend so not bad. Today is my second Sunday this month since we are still covering for someone who had to quit due to illness but all's good, I'm off Wednesday.
 
Hi Jane. When you had mentioned previously that you got paid by the line, I just figured you made your own hours but had a minimum requirement to meet each week or something...shows you what I know! LOL Got anything good planned for wednesday?
 
Good Morning Ladies!

Today is a scheduled rest day and I'm so happy!!!! Most of the time I hate rest days but I am ready for one! This is a great rotation and I'm enjoying it......only complaints are it's KILLING my lower body (but that's good, right??) and somewhat ignoring my upper body!
MM killed on the lower body yesterday which was still sore from PLB the day before and I found I had to lower my weights on some of the upper body, from not working it consistenly during this rotation.
I guess I should add one or two more U/B workouts the next two weeks.

Yesterday evening I ended up going with dh to work for a few hours. We trimmed bushes and pulled weeds and did a lot of walking up and down a hill (dumping branches down an embankment)......so I got in an extra workout!!:p

Today we find ourselves with a FREE day! Dh doesn't have to work and I have no plans as well so we can just be lazy and have fun!:D
I think we'll stick to our Sunday "routine" of walking death hill , but after that who knows? It's just nice to have a completely open day!

Wendy, lots of good wishes are being sent your way! Take lots of pictures for us!;-)

Jane, sorry you have to work, but getting off at 2:30 still gives you some of the day to enjoy. I would like those hours MUCH more than 2nd shift too!!!!! And I used to work 3rd shift years and years ago and it was horrible. I'm a morning person, for sure!

Okay, WHY am I so chatty this morning?? :eek:
Enough is enough! ha

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!!!

Becky...too many cups of coffee maybe? :p }( :7
 
good morning Wendy/Becky... Wendy, I have set hours, 6:30 a.m. to 3 weekdays. Our first shift weekends are a little more flexible, I can start at 6 and get off at 2:30 when the second shift comes on when I am covering the emergency room like today. When I am typing histories, etc. for the weekend, it is even more flexible, I could start at 3 in the morning and work 8 hours if I wanted to. but 6 -2:30 today.

Becky - enjoy your rest day. I don't feel like I've had one!! Yesterday was anything but rest. I will get in ME today and I do agree, doing ME the day after PLB might not have been a good idea!!
 
Jane...

Those are nice hours though regardless of working weekends at times...especially since you work from home and don't have to worry about getting ready and commuting in the mornings...I couldn't do it if I worked out of the home but hours like that working from home must be really nice!

ETA: I can't resist this...how's your favorite horse doing? Chase you at all lately? LOL :p
 
Gosh, I feel DRUNK!

I'm all loopy and wobbly and stuff!

Between the cold med, the cold itself and the lack of sleep I'm a mess! LOL

I'm drinkin' java but it doesn't seem to be helping...maybe it's makin' it worse??

I hope I can walk straight in Church...that would be REALLY bad! :eek:
 
LOL.... Wendy... please don't stagger down the aisle in church!!! :+
I hope you feel better for the festivities today.

Yes, the hours are nice. When I went to work there, my boss let me chose my hours, she only asks that I stick with them, so 6:30 - 3 is what I chose and I do love those hours.

Nope, Honey hasn't chase me because I don't go in the pasture when she is out!! DH and I have reached a compromise though since he was stressing about her not getting pasture time and him being gone most of the week. When I know he is going to be home that evening, I let her out that morning and feed her grain. She will stand there and eat and not chase me so I can get down the pasture and out the gate. Food is more important to her than chasing me!! DH puts her up when he gets home.

I don't know if she'd ever really hurt me but I don't want to find out!!:p
 
Jane,

I am not suggesting that you fudge your hours or anything and pardon moi for being so nosey :p but if you work from home, how can they tell what hours you actually work??? I'm just curious!

Thanks!

Glad to hear Honey is cooperating! :)
 
Wendy,

The vision of you falling down in church is not a good one!!!
:eek:

I lost the taste for coffee & pop suddenly and completely when I was pregnant the last time (dd is now 14 years old). Weird , huh?
But in the last year, I have started drinking cappucino's, hot in the fall and winter and frozen coffee drinks in the summer..... but still no cups of black coffee every morning, like I used to.

No death hill this morning, because now that it's not dark out anymore, I can see that it is extremely foggy!!!!! Not safe to walk on that road (no sidewalks) most days, and VERY dangerous in fog, so we'll skip it today. :-(

Off to the shower! Dh finally woke up and said he's taking me out to breakfast!

Oh Wendy, I don't mind you asking.... I sign on to what we call the VoiceWriter to hear the doctor's dictation. A log is generated up at the hospital with the times of log-in for each transcriptionist so it is like punching a time clock. I can't be one minute after 6:30. I think you are allowed 12 or so tardies in a year. That isn't an issue for me though, I'm on there on time. Also you are required to produce a certain amount which is pretty far below what I usually produce anyway. Although I need to get to work today... can't seem to get with it but I need to.:p

Talk to you later. Have a wonderful day today!!!

Hello ladies,

It's 7:53 and I can't sleep. Gosh I hate when I want to sleep but can't.x( It may be something to do with going to bed at 9:30 last night. I was so tired from the long workout yesterday. I did SH tri/bi, and shoulders and 500 crunches. And let me tell you, I feel my shoulders and arms big time this morning!:p So today all I have to do is SH chest/back. I can't wait till rest day!:)


Wendy- You are probably a little anxious this morning huh? And I'm sorry you don't feel well. Everything will go along well. I know Joey will be beautiful.


Plan on eating pretty good today until I go out to eat with my family, so I know desert will pop up in there somewhere! But I first plan to see the race before I go anywhere. I am such a nascar nut!:p



Hey, Jane, lori, becky, kali, charlotte,nancy.

Good morning Ladies!

Oh Wendy please don't trip in church! What will everyone think? LOL!
I'll bet you looked HOT in that dress Friday night! Enjoy yourself today. This is a one time only occasion. Can't wait to see the pics.

~Becky enjoy your free day w/ DH! Enjoy your breakfast!

~Sorry you couldn't sleep Kim. It does rot when you can sleep in and can't. :-( x(

~Hang in there Jane. The day will go by fast. They all seem too!
Good luck w/ ME.

~Hi Lori! Talk to you when you wake up! :)

Well. I gained 1 lb. but lost a 1/2" off my hips and a 1/4" off my thighs. After the way I ate from Thursday on I'm not suprised. I did good last night but Thursday I didn't eat until 5 pm and that was 2 slices of Dominoes cheese steak pizza, and I had WW noodles w/ cottage cheese after 9pm! Then Friday I had a wrap from a pizza place (it was not multigrain) w/ lunchmeat and cheese on it after 9pm! So no suprise here. I'll do better this week.

Looks like there's a lot of cardio this week which is good for me. I'm definatley adding in freestyle lower and upper body tho. That with the cardio really works for me.

No rest day for me. I think I'll get out for a walk/run and maybe all of AllStep.

Well off to watch the news.
Good morning Charlotte, Jessica, Nancy, Shannon and Terri!
Hope all is well w/ everyone! :)
