Good Morning!:)

I am waiting to get off of work so I thought I would start this.It is only 6:45 here so I would imagine most of you gals are still sleeping.I am usually still lazing around at this hour but there was to much excitment here an hour ago so I figured I would get up and do the things I had left to do.That way when I get home I will fall asleep instintly!

I am planning on doing a 9 mile run today and GS Legs. Im not sure if I will pick up a movie for my run or if I will watch something on t.v. I didn't realize I had watched so many movies until DH and I went to get a movie and I kept saying "seen it"..."seen it":)

Hope everyone as a good morning and I will chat with ya lunch time!

Good night:+
Lori:)
 
Have a good snooze, Lori!:)

Good morning girls!

I am up early this morning...intend to get my work out done before DS gets up. Have to go to grocery store and Costco today so I will probably do that after DS has his breakfast...

I was trying on summer pre-preg clothes last night and my cheeks should be sore from all of the smiling I was doing! Most of my pre-preg shorts are LOOSE on me now! I mean, I can still wear them, but they are looser than what I would want if I were going out to buy shorts new! :7 :7 :7 Needless to say, I am THRILLED!!!!

Well, I need to get some kinda food in me before I work out...I'll be back once my oatmeal is ready!:9
 
Top of the morning to ya'! :) Today I have my wonderful nephew, but first thing this morning all the kids have a dentist appointmen. It will be Logan's first one! :D He is so squooshy, and I bet that he will flirt with all the ladies like there is no tomorrow.

I hope you get plenty of sleep, Loribug!

Wendy, you look friggin' hot! Woohoo!!!!

Charlotte, do you like pinwheel zinnias (they are miniature)? I got seeds to put on the front of my border. I can't wait to see how they turn out. :)

Susan, you only get one day off? ;( I will take some time off for you! ;) :p Did you ever get a chance to listen to those James Blunt snippets? What did you think?

Sara, is it cold in southern IN, too? What the heck happened??? It went from 60 to 30 in less than three hours here! WTHeck???? I guess that a lot of people are experiencing that, though. It is spring, so I guess anything goes! :)

Today is a four mile run. I will make about 20 minutes of it an interval run so I can build some speed. :) And then I will do very light leg work and core. fun, fun! :)

Missy
 
Ooo, we posted at the same time! I saw your picture and you look awesome! I know that you must be feeling so great too! :7 Go on a shopping spree! :) You have certainly earned it! :D

Missy
 
Hey Missy.

Have fun on your run today! Thanks for the compliments! I'm blushing now.:+

So I have chosen which gym I want the membership for...I am trying to convince DH to let me do it early }( ...it's hasn't worked yet but I'll keep trying!:) Otherwise I have to wait until the end of April to join! :-(

We were in Sears last night...that's where I purchased the slut boots I'm wearing in the picture! LOL (Hey Charlotte, we should go out together in our boots now!}( ) So I was looking for cheap running shoes...cheapest were about $40.00 I think...was hoping I could get even cheaper...I'll keep looking!
 
Good Morning Girls!

Gosh, you all are awake so early! I wanted to sleep in longer. It was really warm here last night and DH and I were baking in the bed (not what you think}( ). We were waiting for the cold front to come thru. It never did so DH turned on the A/C and we finially slept. Then I got up early to make him breakfast and then went back to bed again for about 30 mins until I had to get DD up.

Wendy,

No one would ever know you ever had a baby, and not that long ago!!!!! You really look good and you got some nice definition going on there in your abs, arms and legs. You should take some more leg shots. I bet you have that S shape that I am trying to get in the back of my legs. I bet you make some women cry when you walk past them with your baby! LOL! Well where are the boots? Don't see them. Mine are still in the closet getting dusty. I am still thinking of signing up for the gym in town myself just for the treadmill. Probably by the time it gets hot, I will be signed up.

Lori,

I will be thinking of you today when I am doing Imax 2. This is what I will be saying to myself..."Lori is running 9 miles today so I can at least do Imax 2"

Missy,

I like the bigger zinnia flowers. Zinna's are my favorite. I don't buy the seeds anymore because cats and other critters come into the garden and screw things up for me. There is this sweet lady that lives down the road from me that sells plants and buy them from her. She has two Labs that come out while you look over at the plants. Adorable dogs.

Charlotte~~
 
Good Morning!

Well, I just had something typed and I don't know what happened to it! So, here it is in a nutshelll....

Missy, yes, it got cold here. The sun is shining though, which is a change from all of the rain.

Wendy, love the slut boots!! I wanted to tell you about running shoes. My sister has been a runner for about 10 years or so. She said you don't have to pay more for running shoes. Some are 40 and some are 80+. She says the cheaper ones work just as well.

Charlotte, enjoy that cardio today ;)

Lori, enjoy your morning sleep and then drink lots of coffee!!

Susan, enjoy your day at work. Do you teach at the college you work at? If so, what do you teach?

Well, I was supposed to do another practicum today, but.....my mil is sick. We will be staying away from her for the next few days!!! So no practicum for me this week. I will try again next week! Instead, I think I am going to load up ALL the kids and go grocery shopping. Shopping with 3 kids ages 5 and under is almost like a death sentence ;). But, it can be done by bribary with candy, toys, and in desperate situations, both!!! If you don't hear from me, call 911 and send them to Wal-Mart to rescue me!

Talk Later!

Good morning all:

Lori: Great idea - I never thought about putting a movie in while I'm running on the treadmill. GREAT!!! Can't wait to give it a try.

It's so blasted cold here I could just cry. We were in the low 60's just three days ago and yesterday had a snow day and about 5 more inches of snow. Spring where are you??????

Tonight I am teaching step class and very excited about that, my class is so fun. At least I have fun teaching it.

I came to the realization this weekend that I spend entirely too much time wasting my time and friendship with people that are not "good for me". I worry too much about what others think and say and I need to concentrate on myself for once. Maybe that's why I'm struggling with my weight - I'm too worried about everyone else and THEIR problems - how ridiculous, huh?!?!?!?

Anyway - have a superb day!!!!!

Marcia,

I hear ya. I can relate to what you are saying about wasted time on people not good for you. Nothing like having someone weigh you down. You need to be around positive people and you seem like a kind person who just cares alot, and that is not necessarily a bad thing, but sounds like your taking on too much and you need to let go. Just do it. Sorry the weather is cold where you are. Been gorgeous here, but now it is in the 50's again. In the summer, I will be wishing it were in the 50's more often.

Sara,

I remember those days of grocery shopping with my two children when they were under five. I would always get them a coloring book if they were good in the store. I hate when people stare at you when your children are misbehaving....I want to say, "Take a picture, it will last longer" or something on those lines.

Charlotte~~
 
My goodness you girls are chatty this morning! It's only 7:20am here and there are already a ton of posts! I thought I'd get in early and be able to keep up. Ha!

I have to go to a meeting over the summit today. I hope the roads are good. They're clear here - snow is only on the grassy areas now - well, and some of the smaller side streets that don't get plowed.

Wendy - you look great! You've worked so hard and it shows. Congrats! Lori - you're a runnin' fool! Good for you. :) Charlotte - I'm just about ready to go do Imax 2 also. Missy - haha - funny comment on my other post about Mexico not being an island. Hehehe. Marcia - I'm glad you're going to quit wasting time on people who are no good for you! Way to go!!! It's hard to get to that point. Sara - nope, I don't teach at the college. I run the non-credit program (fun classes) and also do business training and workforce development stuff. I thought about going back for my PhD - was all set to go and dropped my first class the first day. I realized I really don't want to go to MORE school. I've been out for sooooooo long (finished my master's 15 years ago!) and I enjoy my free time too much. Plus, I don't think I'd like teaching adults anyway.

Gotta go do my workout so I can hit the road!

Marcia,

I hear ya on the friend thing. I have discovered that one only needs a few good friends in this world. I have 2, my sister and my best friend from 3rd grade. The rest of my so called friends are not friends. I have one friend who is constantly asking me how much I weigh so she can compare herself to me. But, she is shorter and has a different body type. I just tell her I don't weigh myself. It is hard to find people who you can honestly trust. The rest of them can only be trusted as far as you can throw them!

I think this is why I love this forum. All the ladies right here are so positive and fun! I just adore everyone here!

Wow! I go to the dentist for an hour and a half and look what I miss! :eek: At least I have plenty of time to catch up! :)

Charlotte, I have a raised bed and because of the construction scaring away the animals we really don't have to worry about seed theifs, except for sometimes the birds. But we have a bird feeder and so does our next door neighbor and that is easier than pecking, no? :p I do love cutting zinnias and bringing them in. The other zinnias I am sowing are cactus zinnias (which remind me of the dahlias! I love them!) and some lavendar zinnias. Along the back fence I am going to plant some grasses and bright lights cosmos because they like poor soil and thrive in drought, and that is the perfect place for them! I love the bright colors they put out, too! I called my grandma yesterday and asked for some intervention - I need help! I am addicted to flowers! :eek: but at least it isn't drugs or alchohol, and at least it is a pretty addiction! :p

Sara, my kids are almost 2, 7, and 9 and it only gets worse. They see things that are more expensive and bigger! :eek: Good thing is that now they earn allowances, so I can ask them where their money is when they want something. ;) :p And it is nice to have sun for a change, you're right! I almost didn't recognize it! How is the flooding where you are? We are up pretty high so we didn't have any problems, but the farmers I know are going crazy, all their fields look like ponds! There are ducks splashing around and everything.

Susan, I wouldn't think it would be very fun to teach adults. Adults think they know everything (those of us who check in at moment of truth excluded, though, of course ;) :p ). I bet you would be good at it, though. You are a fun person, so I bet you would motivate others. :D And you know I was teasing you because I love you baby! :7 :*

Marcia, I hear you! I struggle with that sometimes. I don't want to hurt people's feelings so I try to help them and forget completely about myself. When I had kids, that changed a bit because I care more about them than anyone else, but it is still hard. I don't think it is ridiculous at all. Some people I don't think that they mean to take advantage or me, they just do because I make it so easy (does that make sense?) and when I finally speak up they act surprised that I have feelings because I never let on before. but then again there are those that are just jack@$$es. :p I think that is a great self-discovery! :)

Still sleeping Loripoo?

WEll, I have great news! All of my kids, all three of them, have spectacular looking teeth! :) Not a sugarbug in sight! Wahoo!!!! I couldn't be more proud of them!

Now I am off to run! Love yous!

Missy
 
Missy,

Do you have a Franks Nursery and Craft store where you live? I use to go there when I lived in Maryland. I would find some rare flower seeds there and bulbs, etc. The problem where I live is mostly rock under the soil. Not small tiny rocks, but big ones. The flowerbeds here were here when we moved here so I am grateful for that. If I just put a stake in the ground, I have to fight to do it because the stake will hit a large rock. It can be very frustrating. I like the cosmo's too as they do attract hummingbirds and butterflies. My children are going to the dentist next month. DH is going next week. I pray for no sugarbug mouths too!!!! LOL!

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Gals:)

I can't beleive the gab fest thats go'in on here today! It seems as if a bunch of my mothers sisters got together!:+ Yak,Yak,Yak:+

Missy, I still hate the dentist, not quit as much as I use to but I still dont like it.Funny thing, DD loves it:eek: Weird hey? Have fun on your run.I usually turn 1/2 of my run into a interval run but when I ran on Sun I kept the intervals down.I wanted to concentrate on miles more then speed.

Wendy, congrats on the clothes fitting! I also bought a pair of capri pants last yr that I LOVED but they were to tight!:eek: I bought them in a 27 but needed a 28 but there was none there.I was going through my summers stuff the other day and I tried them on and they fit.I can't wait to wear them this summer:)

Charlotte, have fun with Imax2.And yes you are right, its the least you can do:7

Sara, I only have one coffee;( I thought about buying two but the girls looking at me a little weird:) I think one is sufficent though.

Marcia, good to see you! I think everyone as hung out with people that aren't good for them.I know I have.I still hang out with them somtimes but not as much.And I know I am not like them and they don't bring me down anymore.Sure there are things I can "compare" but I have come to terms with my body and I realize I am the best I can be! And that makes me feel better about myself when I am around them b/c I know that they have insecurities that they don't talk about, everyone does.

Susan,they are chatty aren't they?I think we missed out on the fun!

Well, its running day for me.We will see how it goes.Usually when I plan a long one it doesn't workout very well.If I start early I will still have time to catch a nap if need be.

Lori:)
 
Charlotte,

Thanks! If you look in my album "pics of all of us" is what I think it's called, it has my avitar pic in it but also another shot in the same outfit that includes my slut boots! It's not a close up of the boots but you'll get the idea! LOL }( }( }(

I took more pics of myself in a bathing suit but they are discouraging. I SWEAR I look better than what these pics show! x( Maybe if I work up the nerve I'll post a few in my pic trail temporarily...or maybe I'll just keep takin' them until I'm happy-which may NEVER happen! LOL :p

Sara,

Thanks for the input on the shoes. I didn't want to have to spend a ton of $. I have been buying cross-trainers for a long time now and still have yet to pay more than $50.00 for a pair so I didn't want to spend lots on running shoes either! I was looking on line and seeing that you can get them for like $30.00, even less sometimes. I have a coupon for Kohl's (my FAVE store!!!)...I think I will go there this week and see what they have. They are reasonably priced for most things. Thanks again!:)

Susan and anyone else I may have missed,

Thanks for the kudos on the avitar!:)
 
Oh man...I hit mile 3 and my treadmill gave out! My heart is BROKE!!!!!!;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( Now WTF am I suppose to do?
Anyway, I did Imax 3 and now I am going to do GS Legs.All in all...still a good workout.30 min run plus Imax 3 should do it:)

Off I go again!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

You maniac!!!! You actually burned up your treadmill??? LOL! Never thought it could be done, but you did it! O.k, seriously though, how did that happen? Can it be fixed? Let us know. Oh shoot, commercial is over and Imax 2 is back on. Gotta go.

Charlotte~~
 
Oh, Lori! My heart is breaking for you! I am so sorry. ;( ;( ;( Is it still under warrantee? I sure hope so! I am so sad for you. ;( ;( ;(

Missy
 
Thanks you for your sympathy:-( Not to many people would understand my pain:-( ;)
Its not covered anymore.I don't think the warrantee was that great with it anyway.I did only pay $700 for it and I got 2+ yrs out of it so I did o.k.
I just started it up again and it is going but I know it is only tricking me.If I get on tomorrow it will probably do the samething.
I was wondering if DH and his buddies could play with it.But knowing them, they would probably put a car motor in it and then I will be running 80 miles and hour!:)

A friend of mine doesn't use her's so I was thinking of asking her if she wants to sell it.She as a really nice one but as only been on it a couple of times.I also thought about getting a sears card and doing the no interest no payment for a yr.And then I also thought that this is March month and in another month I will be hitting the streets, so maybe I will wait until the fall to buy one.I don't know? I use it alot so I think I would really miss running over the next month or so.

Anyway, I am done my workout and now I need to get into the shower.I was hoping to have time to go pick up a few groceries but I know thats not possible.Will have to wait until tomorrow!
Lori:)
 
Lori,

Glad you got it going again. I thought the treadmills would ordinarily last longer then 2+ years? Car motor in it? LOL! Well I hope your DH or someone can fix it so it doesn't break on you again. Let us know how it goes. I got to get the chicken in the oven for dinner, you know I don't like to eat late. I feel like Cinderella who has to be home before midnight or else. If I don't eat before six, I will turn into a big fat blueberry muffin!!!!!My bodyfat monitor will explode as it passes 100% bodyfat!!!! LOL! I am sick, sick, sick! LOL!
