Good Morning:)

Its I again!:) Do you ever get tired of hearing from me? Sure you do!
Just like yesterday I am getting ready to go home but I am not to sure I want to go outside.Man...it is COLD! Bitter cold! And I hate every second of it.I guess I will have to start my vechile before I go anywhere.
Im not sure what workout I will be doing today.Maybe another run and a full UB workout.Or maybe just B,T,&S. DH was going to take the afternoon off but we will see about that;) Seems as if once he gets into work he can't leave.Something always makes him stay.
I asked him yesterday about my treadmill and he said that he had to call back next week to order it and that he can get a better price..but my other one is working now (knock on wood!)I don't know what to do! Its only for it to give out again and I will be heart broken and spring seems so far away here.
Anyway, should get ready to go.I think I am going to try some pancakes today that I read about in the Oxygen magazine.They sound yummy, only thing is..I have to go out and pick up the ingredients;(
Lori:)
 
Lori,

I hate trying new recipes b/c it seems I am never prepared and have to go buy the ingredients too. I wish I just had a little bit of everything already in my house so that I could make ANYTHING once and then if I like it, I could add it to my grocery list!:)

I have an SS work out on tap for today but the G-force work out that I got a week or so ago hasn't been touched yet so I'm thinking of trying that one instead....Tomorrow I hope to spin.:)

My coffee is brewed so I must go grab it now!!!!:9
 
Okay...my cereal that I am eating is almost gone so I will be commencing w/ puting on my work out clothes soon! I am thinking of doing both SS and G-force today caus WTF, right? Neither are Cathe intensity so we know that this gal can handle it!}( I'll do one this morning and one at nap time!:+

Catch up with you later!
 
Ladies, ladies, ladies! I am now DONE with Tone It Up and STILL nobody is around!? Jeesh, WAKE UP already, will ya!?!? :p
 
Hi Ladies!!

I have had a busy morning. We had a landscape company come out and design our landscaping. I am not creative enough to do it myself!! For $40, they come out to your home, take pics and measurements, and mail a design. I would love for them to do it, but I am sure it will be way out of our price range!!! We will prob save a bunch of money if we do it according to their design. We are only doing half of our house this year and will be finishing next year. One step at a time....

This morning I did push/pull and the stairmaster for about 15 min.

Oh, here is that recipe. It is kind of high in sodium due to the onion soup mix, but it is still delicious!!!

1 C uncooked long-grain rice (I used brown minute rice)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of water
1 pkg onion soup mix
4 large boneless chick breast

Spray baking pan with cooking spray. Pour in rice, soups, and water; mix well. Place chicken over mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 30 minutes. (I did not cook mine this long; it is just what the recipe calls for. I think I went 1h 10-15 min). Enjoy!!!

Wow, I surprised to only see 4 post and even more surprised to see that 3 of them were Wendys!}( Where is everyone?
I am even more surprised that DD's computer won't start! This is the second time that this has happened, and its not good enough if you ask me.Who in their right minds dishes out $1500 for a computer that works when it wants to? And the thing with me and half working things is....if its giving you trouble right from the beginning, you should be able to get a brand new one! Not get the 1/2 working one fixed! Your always gonna have trouble with it.So I called DH at work but he isn't there, he will have to go visit them today.

Wendy, you have your workout complete? And while I was snoozing away:) What a good girl you are!:) Im not sure what I will do, my legs are a little sore from yesterdays workout but whatever cardio I do my legs will be tight.So I may go get another movie and go for another long run.
And about the recipe.This one calls for nutmeg,low fat buttermilk and pumpkin puree.None of which I have.

Sara, that recipe sounds good.I may have to try that one. Our backyard isn't big enough to landscape.I say its just a washroom for the dogs:+

Hi All

It is I, Vilma; back for another day of visiting the boards here.

Been busy this morning which starts at 545am.

Have not worked out yet because I was waiting to go to my monthly weigh in at WW. I'm surprised that I'm still under goal considering that it's been 28 days since my last TOM and still it has yet to turn up of course the feeling of walking around with a 15# waterballon and a constant headache tells me that it's due anytime now.

Don't you just hate it when you know auntflo should be here but it still has not shown up but all the other nasty symptoms are there already? Goodness I hope by the end of the day it starts because I just want to get over it already sheesh!

Anyways that recipe sounds yummy and I also avoid following recipes due to the fact I never think to check my pantry to make sure I have the items needed and going in to town is a 15 minute drive with just country roads from a to b.

I am now getting ready to eat my breakfast then I plan on doing the weight portions of low intensity cardio dvd. I may just also go out for a nice walk afterwards as spring finally seems to be arriving here in NC, I have my pedometer strapped on so I'll see if I walked enough today :)

Oh yeah and loads of laundry that needs to be washed today grrrr x(

Hello's to all !:D
 
Good morning everyone!

I never did get a chance to check back in with you girls yesterday. I had an animal shelter website committee meeting and had lots to do to get ready for it. Then I got home later than usual (of course) and DH and I started watching Stay. Have any of you seen it? We're not finished with it. It's "interesting" I guess. It was making me crazy b/c I couldn't figure it out so I had to go on the web and read about it. Lori - I think you should get it for your run. Or King Kong - that came out yesterday too. Naomi Watts is in Stay also.

I did Power Hour this morning, as promised. My legs are soooooo sore from my workout Monday morning and then my Spinervals hill workout yesterday that I started my workout this morning with shaky legs - IN THE WARMUP!!! I knew I was in trouble. But I got through it all. Yay!!!

Vilma - WELCOME!!! It's nice to have you here. I'm so sorry for your losses. It's nice that you're getting back to taking care of you. I'm a big time animal lover, so I sure feel your pain about losing your dog too. I have not lost my parents yet, but I can't even imagine. I hope you have fun here.

Sara - thanks for the recipe. I printed it off and will definitely try it. I like easy, healthy recipes. Those are my favorites. :)

Wendy - you are quite the little poster today. Are you finished with your workouts? Are you doing one or two? You're an ANIMAL lately!!!

Charlotte - don't feel bad about your job situation. Do you have to work or are you just getting bored (maybe too personal so no pressure to answer!)? I would have LOVED to be a SAHM, but since I didn't have kids it was hard to justify being a SAH-DOG/BIRD-M! Hehehe. You will find the right thing for you. Do something you enjoy so you don't dread it. Oh so important!

Of to get some work done!

Hello everyone! I love you guys, I really do, but I can't talk and chat. ;( I have been really busy getting ready for our spring break. Lots of packing and planning and stuff, plus Logan is being a 2 year old which makes it so much harder!

I just wanted to show some love, I will talk to you guys later!!! :)

Missy
 
Oooohhhhh, how nice of you all to finally join me ladies!:p

I just finished work out # 2!}( I was dyin' to try the G-force work out that I had so since SS isn't super intense I said why not? Did SS Tone It Up early this mornig and just finished G-force now.:)

I have to shower and feed Joey and then we are going for a walk...don't want to miss out on the gorgeous weather ya know!:+

I already did some laundry and washed the kitchen floor and vaccuumed in the living room so I have earned me a walk today!;) LOL

Went and got our taxes done last night...we are getting some decent $$ back AND the guy is going to amend 2003-2004 for us since we probably didn't get what we should have! WHOO HOO!...In celebration I ordered MuscleMax and the #4 Urban Rebounding compilation dvd!}( }( }(

I need coffee now!!!:9

I'll be back!!!!
 
Okay ladies...if you are waiting for me to disappear so that you can yak it up with out me and talk about me, you'll be waitin' a LOOONG time cause it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!:p :p :p :7 :7 :7

I guess everyone is having a super busy day today but moi. LOL

I received a pretty little wreath that I ordered from the Current catalog today. I hung it up above the back door in my kitchen. It looks just lovely! :+

Okay...well I gotta go wake up the kiddo...he's being faaar too lazy today!:p

TTYL!:)
 
Susan,

I need some extra cash and I need to get out of this house and mingle with people that love the same thing I love...fitness and such! It really is a blessing to stay at home and take care of everything and get in all my workouts without any pressure of time and I will still be able to do that if I can work in the evening as I just applied for another job today at the fitness center today. I hope the pay will be reasonable and not so low cuz what will be the point? Gas is so high so I am not going to work for peanuts, ya know. I live in a rural area so they don't pay much out here for anything. Gas is like $2.50 gallon here now. Stinks! I could see myself working with animals too, but I haven't seen anything in the paper for that kind of job. Mostly it is volunteer work anyways.

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte,

I think that's a good idea. So you're looking at part time? I think that would be the perfect thing b/c you can get out of the house but still have time to get everything done at home that you need to get done. Then you wouldn't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get your workout in either. I only do that b/c I know I won't work out later if I wait.

If they're not willing to pay you enough, you have them call all of us! We'll vouch for you and what a wonderful addition you would be to their place.

Our animal shelter is always hiring, but the pay stinks. How about a vet's office (still probably not great pay) or a dog groomer? That might be fun.

Lots of luck to you!!! The right one will come along.

Susan

There she was a-just-a walking down the street singing
*doo wa diddy, diddy dum diddy doo*
Twiddlin' her thumbs and just-a shufflin' her feet singing
*doo wa diddy, diddy dum diddy doo*

Now I am off to clean my room! :) xoxoxoxoxo :* Miss you guys!

Missy
 
Okay chicas...I've about had it w/this talkin' to myself thing!!!:p :7 :p

Dinner is cooked, eaten and cleaned up...now it's ME time...I'm relaxing with a cup of coffee (surprised?LOL)for a bit. AAAAhhhhhhh.:+

Tomorrow I hope to make the morning spin class and that will be my work out.

Other than that...nothin' to report.

Catch ya later.
 
Poor Wendy! You're a lonely girl today.

So when you say it's ME time, you're not talking Muscle Endurance, are you? :p You're not going to go for a third workout today?

It's raining here. We're under a high wind warning through tomorrow (surprise, surprise!!!). Hopefully by Saturday it will be nice, as we're trying to get a girls group ride together for Saturday morning.

It's about time for me to leave work. It's almost 5:30 and I think I'll cut out a little early. Whole wheat spaghetti with lean meat in the sauce for dinner (gotta get that carb and protein). Yum!

I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Of course your evenings are probably about over and the only one who might check back is - yup - Wendy!!! Yay Wendy!!! Oh, and Lori if she's "working".

Susan

Hey Susan...you were right!:p

After Joey goes down for the night (usually between 9-9:30), I like to relax with a cup of coffee and just unwind. I can't run off to bed right away. My DH can hit the bed almost immediately after doing ANYTHING if he wants to...I just can't. So yeah...I spend pretty much every night here...some visits are longer than others :p ...so that I can unwind. :+

Oh, to answer your question, no, ME did not mean MUSCLE ENDURANCE...I'm not THAT crazy, girl!:p

How was your dinner?? Sounds tastey!:9
We had a ziti type thing with pasta, cheese, sauce and chopped meat all mixed up together and baked with a side of texas toast! YUMMERS!}( SOOO unclean but I never said I was perfect! Oh, and I topped it off with a small bowl of GODIVA ice cream for dessert!:+
