Moment of Truth/Fall Check-in Monday Sept 26

Lori,

I just read your other post about encouragement please..I think that was the thread. My DD was in track about 2 years ago. Other than that she does not work out lower body, but starting to work out with me on some days. The back of her legs have that strong S shape and I want to cry everytime I look at her legs and her suptle skin, but just glad she is my DD or I would be jealous as heck! I have been teaching her to not eat crap and my son too. I am now packing her lunch for her so she will fare much better and thank me when she is older and not stuck with cellulite on the back of her thighs like I had from bad eating. Anyhow, I am ranting now and maybe getting way off topic from your topic. Just feeling chatty. Now I got to workout.

Charlotte-I was ranting earlier to, in my previous post.So feel free to rant....we are all do'in it.
It is so easy to compare oursleves to others isn't it? But yet, I never get discouraged when I do.B/c my friends may be a bit slimmer....but who is in better shape? ME!:) And they know it and I know that they are envious to b/c they can not find the willpower or the time to workout like I do. So maybe that is why I am not really discouraged is b/c I know in my situation it is tit for tat and I could out run them and out lift them any day:) I feel bad though for people who get discouraged like the lady who posted the thread.
I pretty mush have my house work done and its time for lunch.Im not waiting for my sneakers any longer...Im working out as soon as DD goes back to school.

Well I just swept my floors. Good gosh, I swept up a fist full of cat and dog hair. How gross, I just swept a few days ago too! It is never ending though.

Yeah, I don't get discouraged too much. When someone calls me skinny, I will end up lifting more just because of it. I think it is good when I get mad because I take it off on the weights. I have names for my db's too. Can't tell you the names though...I'd get kicked off Cathe. I know what you mean though. It is just nice to be able to be in the best shape, out run and out lift those who just talk the talk and not try.

Oh, don't even get me started on dog fur! When I had one dog is wasn't to bad.His fur use to just gather in spots if I went a day or two without sweeping.But the new puppy...his fur is EVERYWHERE! You name it, its there and it sticks to everythin.I can't beleive so much fur is comming off of such a small dog.I can't imagine how bad it is going to be in the spring.
My sneakers arrived:) I think I could have went with a 1/2 size bigger though:eek: We bought them off of e-bay so I don't think there is a return policy.They aren't that tight though.They are pretty cool.Orange, blue and silver.You will be able to see me running in the dark,
Lori:)
 
Lori,

I love ebay. I have been doing alot of buying myself, but will be selling some Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren and Witchy shirts for Halloween on Thursday. My id is crazyclothesline. I don't have a return policy either because there are a few shoppers who like to try stuff out for a week or something and then expect their money back..like at the stores where they usually do this too. It is just wrong.

Charlotte~~
 
I agree. I would never send something back, only if it doesn't fit. I hate returning stuff in general.DH as been really into e-bay and he as been selling stuff and with his paypal money he bought me a new pair of sneaks. I normally take a 7.5 but I should have known that with nike, a 8 would have been better.Im hoping that my feet may stretch them a little.

Hello.

Joey got up, fed, bathed, played and now is back down again for a nap! What a whirl-wind morning! LOL

I am washing clothes and was busy blowing up my new stability ball I purchased about 2 weeks ago! What a freakin' pain in a$$ to blow those things up!LOL I bought a bigger one b/c I thought the one I had was too small. Turns out that when I blew this new one up to full capacity, it was too big so I had to let some air out!!! I remember I was afraid to blow my other one up as I didn't really know how big it should get but this new one has a measuring tape that you wrap around the ball while you are blowing it up. Once this tape is tight it's at it's maximum. Great idea-then there is no guess work involved. So anyway, apparently I bought this thing for no reason but it was pretty cheap and now I have let the air out of the other one and will save it as a b/u for when this new one gets worn out...

Haven't moved on to the rest of my work out yet but I will get there later on today. Want to get a few more things done around the house first...housework always falls to the bottom of the list with me and it really shouldn't...

Having a hard time eating today...running out of good choices...have to go food shopping tonight. Used to go with Joey during the day but we changed his car seat to the next size up and it's not like the old one where the base and the seat were 2 different parts so I could put the seat in the cart at the store. Now he'd have to sit up and he can't do that yet! Apparently some stores have infant seats built in to some of thier carriages but mine does not. I am very used to my foodstore and don't want to change so I just leave Joey home with DH now in the eves or on the w/e and go shopping by myself. No big deal really...just was nicer going mid-day...less people! On the other hand though...w/o Joey I move a lot faster and I can leave my cart to go get something. I did that all of the time and once I started bringing Joey I couldn't anymore.

Okay...I'm off to be productive while the little guy is snoozing!
I'll be back!:)

P.S. I am trying to get myself psyched for BCx2 and it's not working! :-( Help me out ladies...say something motivating!!!:)
 
Just popped in a second, busy busy today... but had to say....

WENDY.. get your hiney in gear and MOVE IT!!! (How's that?:+ )

Talk to all of you later, back to work!!
 
LOL Jane! That'll work! Thanks! :+
But unfortunately I gotta feed Joey so I'll have to MOVE IT a bit later yet! x(

Hope everyone is having a good day!:)
 
Wendy - I have had so many experiences with those stupid balls.The first one, my daugther stuck a stick through it, the second was to small and the thrid, which is what I have now, is not so round anymore:-( .Look as if it was near something hot and its lost it shape.So...I hear your pain!

I did 1/2 of KPC (aren't you impressed?:) ) with 5 lbs ankle weights on each hand.What a shoulder workout that is. Then I did a 30 min run and KPC abs. Thats it for me.I am working tonight so I need to get my nap in soon.

I will check back later gator,
Lori:)
 
Hi Terri,

Ugh.......tooth pain!! That really makes you feel lousy , doesn't it?
Have you called the dentist?

I am needing a crown right now and have some pain (mostly when I chew on that side) but since I had a root canal and crown earlier this year, my insurance won't pay for another until January, so I am trying to "suck it up" and hold out until then. Of course, the dentist says that if I wait, I may end up needing a root canal on that tooth as well ! GRRRRRRRRRRR Can't afford all that dental work w/o the help of insurance though, it's so expensive!

I hope you are resting and taking it easy and that you feel better soon. I am sorry you are hurting.:-( :-(

Keep us posted.
 
Terri - I'm so sorry you are having tooth pain. I've with Becky, call the dentist. Take something for it and lay down. Take care.

Becky, I hope it doesn't come to a root canal for you. I've had a crown but never a root canal. I feel for ya. I agree, dental work costs a mint. I have good insurance but it is extremely expensive.

Well back to work.. working 'til about 4:15 today, then IMAX2 as soon as my feet hit the floor.

It is gray and rainy here today but I am singing OH HAPPY DAY!!! We have not had any meaningful rainfall in two months!!! It is so dry the ground is cracking!! I say, keeping on raining!!
 
Poor Terri. All I can say is OUCH! Hope it goes away soon.

Well, I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!! It's at the JCPenney Catalog Center. My training class starts next Monday 5-11pm M-F and the following Monday. Then I'll be scheduled 9:30am-2:30 pm some days and 5pm-11pm some days and 1 day on the weekend for 8 hours.

That gives me a week in case one of the other places I applied call and have a better offer. I just don't want to work all nights. There is no point in that. I'm home all day. It just feels soooo good to have a job lined up. I hear it's a really nice place to work too.

So we'll see what happens next.
It's raining here too! We need it badly! DGT has been fighting fires with the Forestry like crazy! This rain will help a lot.

What' everyone up to this evening?

Where the hec is Nancy???? I hope her SIL didn't do something to her!!! LOL!!!

Hey ladies,


It has been a tiring day. I just got back from PT and need to do my leg work and bike. I can't wait till I get back to exercising early in the morning cause I am so tired after work. I am more of a morning exerciser. AT least I was before I got hurt!

I go to the doctor tomorrow and pray everyone that he lets me take of this stupid boot. I think he will put arch supports in my shoes. I still don't walk normal or go up on the ball of my feet. That hurt like crap about 3 wks. ago. But at PT today he checked my measurements comparing to when I first got there. My flexibility is alot better. So pray for me girls! I am totally nervous about tomorrow!x(


Terri- I'm sorry to hear about your toothache. That can be very painful. Go to the dentist soon, cause I have waited and it was aweful. Hope you get to feeling better!



Hey Jane,charlotte, wendy,lori,kali,becky,nancy, jeepers I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.


kim
 
Kali, congrats on the job!! I was watching the thread today to see if you posted the results of your afternoon. :) I am very glad it worked out for you! :) :)

Cheers,
Marie
 
Awwwwww. Thanks Marie! You're a sweetheart. And I have not forgotten about getting together! Soon as your job calms down we will have to make a plan to do something. Coffee, whatever.


Kim I will be praying things go well tomorrow. Have faith. You're gonna be back to normal soon Sweetie! Try not to focus on it too much. You'll drive yourself crazy.

Terri~I hope you are feeling better!
Kim~I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you in re the doc appointment!
Kali~Congrats on the job! That was fast! See!? I told you!:p

Hello Jane, Becky, Nancy, Charlotte, Marie, Jess, Cleo and whoever else I am sure I missed! LOL

Well I just finished my w/o and I am shoving some food in my hole as I am STARVING! After that I have to shower up and get out to the food store. Then it's home to make some kind quickie of dinner for DH and I.

Okay so I did the cheaters version of BCx2 *hangs her head in shame*.

Here's what I did:

BC warm up
BC Cardio and lower only (no core, no upper)
BC Cardio and upper only (no core, no lower)

Then I moved on to my xtra cardio which was Body Fusion cardio only for 20 minutes and then the BF stretch.

The whole thing took me about an hour and 30 minutes and despite the fact that I cheated on BCx2 it was a GREAT work out!}( }( }(

Okay my food is almost gone which means I am almost outta here! I'll be back later girls!:*

Have a good evening!:)
