Good Morning Ladies,

Its a nice morning here.The snow is falling lightly but its enough to get me in the christmas mood (i think).I was in the mood about 2 weeks ago but its died off...what gives?

I had a terrible nights sleep last night.Well, the sleep was o.k when I finally fell to sleep.I was pissed off at DH b/c he played hockey and he left the house at 8:30 and came home at 12:30. 4 hours to play one game of hockey??? I don't think so.Stuff like this wants me to go buy a gym membership just so I can disappear and he can say "what took you so long"? He doesn't see the big deal but I think with him being so busy now with his new job (which I will have all the patience for) he should manage his time a little better.I worked Wed night and Thurs night, went to my moms Fri night, Sat night I couldn't wait to have some down time with him.When we get home he says "I have to run over to Todds for a minute" He comes back at 10 and when we go to bed he crashes b/c he is so tired.So wouldn't it have been wiser for him to spend some time with me if he was going to be that tired? ANYWAY...thats why I couldn't get to sleep.I was to contray to fall asleep, so I think it was 3 before I got any sleep.It just irritates me that he spends time sitting in a dressing room drinking beer after a game.

Aren't I a B*tch today? I am hoping to get a workout in tonight when I get off.Its gonna be to late to cook dinner when I get home so maybe I will tell everyone to go ahead and when I get home I will get some cardio in, then a bath and hopefully to sleep at a sensible hour.
I have to put christmas decorations up at work today.That will make my day go alot faster.
Anyway..Im not contray now so don't be afraid to come out and talk to me:)
Lori:)
 
Yes yes Lori I am here! It just took me some time to make it but I got here! LOL I was nosing around the other threads for a bit!

Sorry about your trouble with DH. Men are a pain and rarely ever seem to do the "right" thing! :p Ofcourse, even as a woman myself, I must admit that WE, as women, can also be very hard to please at times. I notice there are times when NOTHING my DH does is right or will make me happy. As much as they piss us off or make us crazy, ya gotta hand it to them for putting up with us too! LOL ;)

I am drinking my first cup of coffee. Will be headed for my 2nd soon, no doubt.

Sorry about your lack of sleep. Hopefully you'll sleep better tonight!
 
I just measured myself and here are my results in the past 2 months!!!

lost 1.25" off my hips
lost .75" off my thighs
lost 7 pounds
lost 1.8% body fat

YIPEE!:)

Who wants to share next? (or complain, it's okay!!!)

Anyone...anyone?:+
 
Wendy, I agree with you about them having to put up with us, too! DH and I had this conversation last weekend. He thinks that because I do the right thing, or make "better" decisions, I expect everyone else to as well, which is an unfair standard because noone can live up to the expectations that I set. My argument is that I am tired of being the one who has to do everything because noone else is making the wise choices and I have to suffer the consequences and THAT is unfair. Phew. So, we both realized that we just have to forgive, forgive, forgive and try to be more considerate of each other's feelings. I totally understand wher eyou are coming from Lori, totally. It would be nice if making time for you was a priority. DH and I argue about that alot, but DH isn't going out he is staying home and up until the wee morning hours playing Xbox or watching t.v., then he sleeps in and misses time with his kids and I get to do breakfast, getting the kids ready and out the door with LOGAN-monster throwing fits and trying to escape and terrorizing us all, and then I get to clean up all by me onesies. Sometimes I feel like he is a total bachelor with the privaledges of a husband. Then when he is around I just want him to go anywhere else because he is getting in the way and making things harder. See, I can never be pleased! :p Actually, I could if he would just DO THINGS RIGHT. :p:p:p:+

I want to complain!!! No I don't. I feel good and healthy! I am stuck here at home because DH is taking the van and the car has bad breaks so I am NOT taking DS out anywhere with me. You will get sick of me today.:)

I haven't weighed myself in so long, I have to idea what my body percentage is, no clue what my inches are, I am clueless. I have nothing to share! :-( But, I am wearing my preprego jeans and size small shirts and that is all I care about right now! :p Wendy, you are doing a fabulous job, girl. You really rock and are setting such a great example for your little boy, being healthy will be important to him as an adult. GREAT JOB! Not to mention you feel great getting to move that ticker! :)

See you later, ladies! I have BC cardio and lower bod and ME lowermix to do. I already am unable to walk. :eek:

Well....look who crawled out of the bed!:) Bout time!!!!!:7

I am putting up the tree at work and my arms look like a cat attacked me.And I am running of lights.Half of what is here works.I want to go downtown and buy some new stuff but I will have to wait until after lunch.The only thing is, I need to use my bosses visa which is what we use here but lately the stores are getting sticker.I know my name is not on it but everyone up here uses it for work so I don't want to get downtown, have a arm full of lights and someone say "no, I can't take this" I mean, I understand why, but when its legal you just wish they would beleive you.I may luck in to getting someone who knows me though.

Wendy- I agree, they do put up with alot.Ya never know what mood we are going to be in when they walk through the door.And I truely beleive that all women have a little bit of craziness in them.Normally I am quit good and things have to go really far before I mention anything. Not this time.Just wanted to let him know how I felt but I doubt it will make a difference when next sunday rolls around.

Missy- Im with you, I have nothing to share.I was 135 at one point but now I am down to 130-132.I can feel a biy of a difference in my clothes but Im sure I will see 129 again b/c I am so busy this time of year that I burn an extra amount of cals.I don't think I eat so much either b/c I eat when I am bored.
And you are stuck in the house? I hate feeling like I can't go anywhere.I can only imagine what a prisioner must feel like

DId anyone watch Greys Anatomy last night? I felt sorry for the lady who swallowed the razor blades.Actually, I felt sorry for them all, its was a pretty pathetic bunch last night...hahaha
Must go clean up some of my mess.Thats all I can do until I get more light,
Lori:)
 
Hello from the misplaced lady here! LOL!

Long time no talko! Still working from a broken down computer. Dell is coming to service it and I am getting a new monitor too! Can't stay on long cuz my fan/video card is not working....sorry piece of crap!!!! LOL!

Lori,

I haven't been sleeping well lately either. My problem is I get too hot in the night and then I wake up and then my brain starts going. CANNOT STOP THINKING!!!! LOL! Sorry you are mad at DH. My DH is behaving nicely now that he is not on this broken down computer...otherwise, he will stay on FOREVA! LOL!
We are suppose to be getting snow here today...6 inches. They close school here if it just rains. I am not kidding! If we get 1 inch, school will be letting out early today. Just dumb!
Well I can't believe how much you have been running lately as I have read on here from time to time....MANIAC!!!!

Wendy,

You too and Kali are just inspiring the heck out of me! I heard alot of talk about Kali looking all that so I had to see for myself! I just could not get over it! I use to joke about us having buckets to collect all our sweat, but I seriously think she really was sweating buckets...that is a serious woman...ain't nothing getting in her way, huh? And you....I swear everytime I do get on this here computer, I see you have lost another 3 pounds or so....and you still eat pizza!!!!!! LOL! I think I am the only one that is excited that my thighs are bigger!!! LOL I have gained 1 inch there since September. So you gonna get some snow too?

Missy,

Aw, the little ones! Rather deal with little ones right now then big ones. Although DD and myself are getting along better these days. It is so hard being a parent at times, isn't it? Sometimes I just want to throw myself on the floor and have a tantrum and say to heck with it!!!! Hang in there. I hate my Omron lately too. I have gained three pounds and now up to 118..YAHOO, but it is tricky keeping bf down as well. I am stressing alittle because we are going to a graduation ceremony of a close friend of ours who is graduating from the Army down in Georgia. I may have to drive all the way down there myself since DH's manager quit on him..just walked out so I am frustrated. I might need to take some cortislim to keep the fat deposits from accumilating! LOL!

Nice talking with you all again!!! Missed you so much!!!!! My goal this month is to have DOMS in every body part once a week! Next day I am always a grouch though! LOL! My forearms always seem fried! LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Well look who came down from her ivory tower to join us! LOL!!!! Hello, Charlotte!!! How are you!!! :):):):) It is so good to see you! Missed you baby!

I think that it is great that you have been able to gain an inch! I know how hard you have been working on it. What helped you?

There is nothing harder than parenting, of that I am convinced. That is the only thing I know is for sure besides death and taxes. I wish that they would stop growing. Each stage they get into I find out more amazing things about them, but they become more independent and need me less. That makes me sad! I definitely don't want teenagers. I am not ready for hormones! Mariah has plenty already!

Lori, I didn't watch anything but the games last night. I love football season! You know, I can't find my debit card! I am kind of freaking out. The last place I had it was the grociery store. I am pretty sure that I put it in my purse....Okay....I have to have a SAR for my debit! :p I know what you mean about the cat attacks! We have a fake tree now, and though I miss the scent of a real pine, I don't miss the needles! BTW, how are things with DH mom? did you guys ever work that out?

Missy
 
O.k. yall, if I don't come back on later than don't think my computer blew up or something....just getting paranoid it might! LOL! Well now that I have come down off my tower (LOL) I think I will do some more chatting...

Well school is letting out early ALREADY and only a few flakes have been spotted!!!! Talk about throwing a rod into your day. Lucky for me, it is my rest day, but if I were working out today I would be pissed!!!! There have been times I have taken my weights outside and times I thought about taking them with me while I wait in different places. How many times have I been tempted to do walking lunges around in Wal Mart? A gazillion times I have thought of it! I do them inside now for the most part...tripping over dogs and the cat at times, but I am addicted to that burn in the butt. I can't get that burn any other way that I know of besides doing the walking lunges.

Charlotte~~
 
HI Gals!

Charlotte- Well, well...look who the cat dragged in! Happy to see you were not stuck under a barbell like I had imagined.Then again you don't like chest work do you Charlotte.So whats new? What crazy workouts have you been doing? Are you alrady for christmas? Fill us in.
I have gotten a few runs in but no more then I use to do.I am trying to do more cardio then normal b/c I think that will get rid of those few pounds that I gained.

Missy- You like football? Your every mans dream in that case. I don't like any sports at all.Actually I am surprised that I am so into exercising now b/c when I was in highschool I hated gym class.Go figure.
My MIL and I never had it out nor did she even know I was pissed.If anything she probably thinks that I didn't want the t.v anyway b/c time and time again DH is always buying something and I go along with it and she knows I don't approve.So she probably thinks she did me a favor.It was stupid I know.I think I just hate having everyone know what is going on in my life.Oh well...we will have what we want someday and no one will be able to say much.Now, they will always have their comments but it will go in one ear and out the other.I get along with my in-laws fine and they are awesome people.

I just finished decorating the tree and I am wiped.I haven't stopped all day but it was a good thing b/c I would have been tired alot earlier.
Must get ready to go home.
Lori:)
 
Lori,

I haven't been doing Cathe workouts too much anymore because I think I have memorized them all. LOL! I just go into the workout room and do the same thing she would do anyhow. I have been working upper body twice a week and legs twice a week. Doing walking lunges, deadlifts with heavy weight and got my squats up to 105# doing 6 sets of 8 so far. I can't wait til I can squat my own wait. DH bought us some shirts from Animalpak.com. Mine says, "Squat til you puke". LOL! It is a man's size Medium so it makes for a nice workout shirt since it is alittle loose on me. We got posters too. One shows a large ugly man with puke (pretend puke) on the floor in front of him. Look, I didn't want all that...those posters, that is, but DH ordered them so now I got to look at them. LOL! My son thinks he is something else because his arms have gotten bigger then mine. He loves to rub it in my face...wonder who he gets that from...hmmmm. LOL!

Suppose the kids will have off tomorrow from school. We got about 1 1/2 inches of snow. LOL!

Wow, your alittle slow at getting up your tree, eh? Almost middle of the month. LOL! I insist on taking down the tree on New Years Day. I just get sick of decorations after awhile. Drives me crazy when I see people leave up their Christmas decorations until Valentines Day or worse...Easter!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Hey Charlotte! Nice to "see" you again!:) Hope you get your pc back in working order soon. Miss havin' ya here!

Well, ladies, I'm POOPED! I really don't know where the day went! I got off the computer this morning and never looked back until a little while ago! :eek: Very unusual for me! I'm usually in and out of here all day long! LOL :)

Anywho...I guess I must have accomplished something as I am very tired. OH YEAH! I worked out! THAT is why I'm tired! }( }( }(

L&G home-made mix (30 min)
CTX Kickbox cardio (no arm drills)
BM upper body work

All totaled about 90 minutes. GREAT work out!:+

Hope everyone is doing well!

Talk to y'all later!:*

PS-No, I'm not a southerner but I just LOVE "ya'll" for some reason so I've started using it.:p
