Moment of Truth Fall Check In Thursday 9/22

Hey guys..can't read all the threads... I just got home, it's 11:35 a.m. I have to start working ASAP. I had to make a run to my daughter's this morning, she called me at 6:30 saying her left hand was numb and drawing, then her the left side of her lip, tongue... anyway when I got down there, she had a headache, when I got her to Urgent Care she was throwing up. It turns out it's a migraine, she had one 10 years ago at age 13, took her to the ER that time too. They gave her a shot and she is at her apartment sleeping the day away. My SIL lives 15 minutes from her and is going to check on her throughout the day.

TTYL... gotta run!!
 
Charlotte- On Tues it was walking lunge day with 15 lbs dumbbells...boy was my bum sore last night when I was running on the threadmill.Do you think that these workouts that can be "made up" like walking lunges,jacks..etc...can bust me out of a plateau? I never do walking lunges but I think I am gonna start doing more of them.I can even do them when I am watching a t.v show between commercials.I had lunges but like walking lunges.
Lori:)
 
Those lunges feel great, don't they. My hiney stayed sore for several days. Loved, loved the feeling! You know in the Oxygen magazine I have there is a article in there that you should do them with 25lb db's. Can you imagine???? Anyhow, if you want to push yourself out of a endurance plateau, try ME twice or HIIT while running! Going heavier plateau, try more weights. Just depends what you are trying to accomplish.

Charlotte-
I would like to lean out but I know what I can accomplis without torturing myself.I mean diet wise! Thats the torture partx( ;-)
Nope can't imagine doing them with 25 lbs.But they do feel great.I guess I will be trying ME twice sometime this month.Last week I did HSC,HST and a 50 min run.All on one workout...I was tired after and if I had to do one more step up I was gonna kick my high step:)
And what HIIT while running? I interval run when I am at home but outside I just do a steady pace.
Lori:)
 
Jane,

Please let us know how your daughter is doing. How frightening for her!!
I get migraines so I really feel for her. They are NO fun at all !
I wonder what the shot was that they gave her, do you know?
You're a great mom. Try not to worry too much today. Mostly likely she will sleep all day and hopefully the migraine will be gone when she wakes up!!

Do you still have Lowmax to look forward to??

Yeah, HIIT while running. Haven't heard of it before? Well if you want to lean out doing ME twice is good plus KPC really does some wonders to your lower body. Yeah, I know you hate it, but if it brings about a fantastic change then you have to embrace it, right? ;-) You know, we were talking about our dogs earlier. I have to say that I think my Specky dog wants to become my trainer. Ya see, she is my running dog. Whenever I go out running, she comes too. Usually if I am not out long. So today I took her just for a walk because it is my rest day and I am dog tired...you know, the nightmare I had plus other things left me all weary-eyed. Anyhow, she is not use to just walking with me so she keeps turning her little head behind her and looking at me as if to say, "You gonna start running anytime soon"? She is so cute and smart. We took a walk down to the stream which is about 50ft from our home. Beautiful here today in Virginia.

Hey Becky... just got up to get a sandwich .... I just talked to her and woke her up...she is sleeping the day away. The shot they gave her was Midrin. When she had the migraine ten years ago, they gave her a shot of Imitrex and I had to keep a prescription of Imitrex handy to head off any future migraines which she never had.

Yes I still have to do LowMax and CM and I'm working til 4 instead of 3, so it will be a little later.

TTYL.. I feel like I'm behind and will never catch up!!
 
Thanks, okay.... I'm glad she is sleeping (and I'm sure she didn't mind that you woke her up, because she knows you would be worried). I was hoping the medicine was something new that I could ask my dr. about. I've tried imitrex, (shots and pills) and they didnt' work.

You WILL catch up! And thankfully it's a fun workout and not something we all dread....the Terminators, or Imax 3 come to mind for me!

Now I will stop chatting so you can get back to work! ;-)
 
Hey Ya'll!

I am drinking my protein shake right now and then off for a nap. Didn't walk for 4 hours today! LOL! Body was like.."yeah, right"! No sleep and the likes thereof has worn me out! Good Nighty Night! Maybe I can shake off some of this moodiness.

Hi Guys. Just checking in to say hi. Everything's cool. I've got a lot to think about. What the hec else is new aina?
I got a few cute tshirts at the mall And a little something for my guitar teacher's birthday.
I ate chicken and broccoli and an egg roll too. I hope that's not really bad for us. I don't even know. It was nice to shop and hang out at the mall alone.

Good job Becky with the workouts. I wear Reebok's and I absolutley hate them for Cathe. I like how they look on me but besides that FORGET it. I have to find something better myself.

Jane. I'm glad your daughter is resting. Migraines are scary sometimes. Especially until you know that's what the problem is!
Hope she feels better soon.

Charlotte, have a good nap. Hope you wake up happy!

Hi Lori, Shannon, Nancy, Kimmy, Jessica and Debbie.
Sorry I have to run. Got to get ready to get my boys.

Wendy. Yes that would be a very welcome thing in my life right now if we could get together. We'll try to get the guys to watch the kids so we can hang out for a few hours. Maybe shop. Sound good? Seriously let's plan it before mid October because that's when Dan is going to Germany. I'll IM you if you sign on!!!

Hey Kali! Sorry I haven't signed on to aim yet but I keep hopping on and off the computer in short spurts! I am trying to clean and eat and I still have to work out yet! :eek: I just got Joey off for a nap not too long ago and it was a challenge! He was cranky. ;( It's the first of the day so hopefully it will be a long one!;) I will attempt to work out in a little bit (after I clean a little bit more) and then after that I should be able to get on the computer and log on to aim for a bit...:)

Hello to everyone else! Hope you all are having a good day!

I'm outta here for now!:)

BBL!
 
Wendy,


Your having a busy day like I had two days ago. Now I am free to relax and soon you will too...briefly, that is. Joey will keep you on your toes. Well guess what I weighed this morning? 230 pounds!!! LOL! See I should have worked out today! Think our scale is broken. Damn, didn't think I gained that much so quickly, did ya? I tried to get it back to 0, but so far no luck.

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Ladies,

I went out and took advantage of a free massage this mprning to help me de-stress. I have a client who is a massage therapist so I get them for free. I usually don't take advantage of them as they remind me of when I had to go twice a week after a car accident. It felt good today though!

Jane-I hope your daughter can sleep all day and feel so much better when she awakes

Kali-I am glad your appt went well. I added your nick to my aim list and you don't show up. Try aiming me if you can. I e-mailed you my nick yesterday.

Hope everyone else is having a good day and thanks for all the support about my sons gf!

Terri
 
Charlotte- You might want to have a salad for your dinner:) Actually...just water:) I weighed at my moms house this summer and the scale read 114 lbs! It was just nice SEEING that number.I doubt I will ever be that again but it was nice to see:)

I am soon going home for the day HOPEFULLY! I called my co-worker and she isn't feeling well.Her DH said that she is lying down b/c she doesn't feel well.I am hoping she will make it in to releive me.If not...Im go'in home anyway!:7
Lori:)
 
Well, ladies, this is not my day. I was walking along the subway platform when this guy who isn't looking where he's going bumps into me. Then he turns and starts screaming at me at the top of his lungs, calling me names for bumping him, and he hurls an entire cup of coffee at me. He came after me, but I disappeared into the crowd. The guy was completely insane. Fortunately, the coffee was lukewarm, but I was soaking wet and the coffee was full of milk and sugar and I got to work all sticky, not being able to see out of my glasses, and with my favorite silk outfit, shoes and bag, completely stained. Also my hair is all stuck together from the sugar.

It's now 4:15. I think I'm going to leave work early today to go home and take a shower. :(
 
Hey everybody, thanks for your concern for DD. I talked to her about ten minutes ago and she is feeling a little better. The doctor gave her 800 mg. Motrin and told her to take one this evening. She is going to take it with her evening meal. She just hate she missed teaching today. She certainly didn't want to take a sick day her first month teaching but that's how it goes.

Wendy, when you get on AIM, let me know your screen name, I'll e-mail you mine. Mine is up 24/7 since I have a cable connection.

Off to do LowMax... DH will be home in about a hour and he's been gone since Sunday so I'd better get it done before then. I'll do CoreMax later on after supper.

I'll sit down tonight hopefully and try to read the threads from today, haven't had a chance to.
 
OMG Nancy,
Are you alright??
How awful for that to happen to you! That sounds like an episode on a TV show, not something that really happens to people just going to work!

Will the stains come out of silk??

I really have a big lump in my throat & feel like crying.

(((((((((nancy))))))))) a big hug for you. I feel so bad that that happened to you!!!!!!!!
(Are you in NYC?)
 
Hey ladies,

Hope all of you have had a nice day. Mine was pretty good. I actually didn't eat any sweets today! hooray for me huh! I ate a piece of low carb walnut and raisin bread a lady brought to work. And I have drank tons and tons of water, along with having a piece of quiche for lunch. I don't feet as ran down today. I guess that is a good sign!


I think dh and I are going to sears to look at a bike tonight. I don't want to spend alot because after I'm allowed to do more high impact aerobics I won't ride the bike but once or twice a week. So I don't want to put a whole lot of money in it like I did my treadmill. Now that was worth every penny! And you know what? I have put even more money into cathe workouts! And they are precious to me!


I need to do some cleaning for a while. Will talk in a bit!


Hey, jane, charlotte, becky, nancy ,kali, lori, terri, wendy, debbie. Hope I didn't skip anyone!


kim
 
Nancy,

That is just horrible. I can't imagine. What a weirdo. Sorry you had to go thru that. Once hubby and I were driving along with our windows down and someone thru a milkshake into our car. Went everywhere. Some people are just like animals.
