Good Morning:)

Guess who just got called into work?:-( Of course I could have turned it down BUT I wantd to get a few overtime shifts this month b/c its DD b-day and she wants a computer.PLUS...I still have income tax to pay back from last year, so I want to get that paid back before I file my taxes again this year:eek: So a few shifts wouldn't go a stray!
The cool thing about being called into work is its on MY time so when I get there I get there:) Lucky for me, we had another pile of snow last night so I used the excuse that I was snowed in and I said I would be there when I could.
So then I got on my treadmill and got my workout over with:) I did 8 miles and I am impressed with my energy level today b/c I just woke up and I didn't eat yet.I could have went longer but I think thats the way I always feel when time isn't on my side.

Anyway, off to work.
Lori:)
 
Good Morning!!

Well, I was going to do some ab work this morning, but Kylee decided to wake up with me this morning. I am not too worried about since I have my kickboxing class this evening. I like to try and save my energy for that. I think I am going to do a Cathe inspired boot camp workout. Not as hard as her though....the ladies in my class would never come back if I did that!!

Talk Later!

Good Morning Girls!!

Well I am still dragging from the concert...just a bit. I almost overslept this morning to take DD to school. The concert was great! I could have honestly left not too long after Shinedown. Sorry, but their message to the crowd kinda turned me off. It was too much of a "show" and not enough singing in my opinion. Just sing, don't be preachy and try to start a riot! Gosh! I did really enjoy the other groups and I was really getting into it. My eating was good the entire time, but I did have a few drinks. LOL! DD got to meet Halestorm and got their signatures. It was really fun. I am glad I didn't stand underneath the second level because they were throwing their beer down and such. However, I did get a icecube or two on me...that felt good though cuz it was getting hot in there!!! LOL!

Well today, I don't know what I am going to do with lower body, but I know I will workout upperbody to PUB and I have to do some ab work too.

Sara,

I love kickboxing. So much fun! Boot Camp really works your legs too and your lungs!!! LOL!

Lori,


That is alot of miles on a treadmill. Great job! I really wish we did live closer so we could workout together, but Virginia is mighty far away from you! I will be doing yard work before you know it. Starts warming up here by end of March....well, usually.

I am trying not to eat after 5pm now to see if that changes things for the better for me. My bodyfat is not behaving. My weight is down again to 116 as I ate lightly and early last night, but bf climbing!!!! WTH? Now I will be stressing out and storing more fat just worrying over it. I am so confused. When I worked out really hard and added in the cardio plus weights on same day, weight goes up so I just don't know anymore. HELPP!!!!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Hi Girls,

Sara, you teach class right? I keep forgetting that! I don't think I would have nerve enough to stand in front of a crowd and do something, actually I know I don't, unless I drink to much wine like Missy:)

Charlotte, glad you enjoyed the show!:) I can only imagine how hot it must have been.Who went? Just you and DH? I was so lazy last night that I just lay around the house but I think I had a good night sleep.The run was good but I am paying up for it now cause I am one hungry gal! I already ate and its just as if I didn't eat anything.

I brought DD to work with me for a little bit cause there isn't any school.And they have now cancelled school for this afternoon to so I have to see if one of my friends can watch her for me.There isn't anyone around today though so its no biggie!

Lori:)
 
Hey Lori,

DD and two friends of hers (boyfriend and their friend) went. How does DD entertain herself at your work?
Well Speck has the shivers today so I guess she isn't feeling too great. She will probably be vomiting any minute now. Her ears are back and she is just sitting here on my lap. I hate when my babies don't feel well.
Well I am off to get some cleaning done. This is what I ate so far....

1/2c oatmeal
4 eggs
1/4c of almonds and a chunk of cheese
grapes

My eating is going to be like a pyramid of eating...going heavy at first and slowly getting lighter. LOL! I don't know if I should have that damn PM protein shake before I go to bed though. I don't want my body storing fat while I sleep, but I don't want to get up and see I have gained weight either. This is all driving me nuts!!!!

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte, why don't you drink a protein shake with no carbs before you go to bed? I have one that is only 90 cals.But you may already to this.
Its fustrating when we don't understand whats going on.I worked 2 nights in a row and ended up being 2 pounds lighter, just b/c I slept in a little.Then today I get up and I am 2 lbs heavier again, so I don't know what I ate yesterday! LOL Hopefully I ran it off today.

Chico gets sick every once in a while to but a good throw up and he is usually o.k.You can tell when he is sick cause he smiles and drool starts comming out of his mouth.Its weird.He lets ya know when he is sick.He is to be to get up in my arms though.He is heavier then I am.
DD is playing on the computer, plus watching t.v.Its just like being at home.She isn't going to be here much longer though.I just need to find someone to watch her.
Lori:)
 
Lori,

LOL! LOL! I swear you got me laughing so loudly that I almost choked about your Chico. Sorry, not trying to laugh, but I just had this picture in my head of a smiling and drooling dog foaming of the mouth.

Yeah, the PM protein shake has like 2 carbs in it so explain to me why I gain the weight then? Isn't it just weird???? O.k., I am done ranting about all of this. Time to workout soon.

Charlotte~~
 
yes, stop whining and go do something:) DO lots of plie jacks on till its dinner time and that should help..then some tuck jumps after dinner so get your dinner to come back up:)

Poor Chico...he doesn't foam thought, thats just gross.He is like a faucet,it just drips.Drips from one side, then the other and he is smiling and that patio door:) Im not sure what brings it on cause he rarely gets human food.Sometimes I wonder if the smell of cleaning supplies doesn't get to him.Like after I clean the floor and he lies down on it? Ya never know.
Lori:)
 
Charlotte,

I have to say that I looked at your pic trail and you look awesome, so....what body fat??? My sister is going through the same thing right now. She is a runner and all she does for fitness is run. Normally, she is around 110, but right now she is around 115. She can't figure it out either. She keeps blaming her age (she is almost 34). She is one of those who can eat fast food everyday and still have a flat stomach! Maybe it is finally catching up to her! Yesterday, I was playing outside with my kids and doing some yard work. This reminded me of how much more I work in the nicer weather, which might help me get down to my goal weight. (which is 115)
So...don't lose hope, maybe with the nicer weather around the corner we will all lose some unwanted body fat!(as if we don't work our butts off as it is, huh??)

Sara,

Oh yes, you are absolutely right! When the warm weather continues to stay there will much to do outside. I have to haul rocks out of our garden every year it is plowed. I am not talking about small rocks either so that always works my core and gets my heartrate up. There will be plenty of sweating going on outside alone. LOL! You have beautiful children and a beautiful home! Love to clean too, huh? It looks sparkling!!!

Well nice chatting with you.

Lori,

Poor Chico. The name cracks me up as it is. I am just goofy today I guess. I got Speck's name off of the Pee Wee movie. LOL! Stinky just kept farting when we got her so hence the name. LOL! Now off I go.

Charlotte~~
 
I just got done reading all of your posts and now I feel so fat. I am the heaviest person here. :( Actually, I shouldn't feel fat because I feel really good about how I look and I am happy with my fitness level. I really am a lot heavier than I look. Whenever we go to an amusement park or to the fair, I always do the guess your weight games because I ALWAYS win. One year, this guy guessed 115 and I really weighed 154. :7 I am really heavy, and I don't know why, so I don't rely on the scale too much.

Charlotte, I am happy you had a good time at the concert! And I love your dog's origins of their names! Too freakin' cute! And when does your spring begin? Around here we don't count on it till the middle of April, but I usually plant my seeds a little bit early because I am too impatient. By the time we get back from vaca, the first weekend in April, hopefully my daffodils will be popping up! I love the spring!

Sara, I love to teach kix classes! I haven't taught for 2 1/2 years, and I really miss it. I love to tell people what to do! (and I don't need to get drunk for it, either! ;) ) And I also love a clean house. I am sitting here wiggling in my chair because the kitchen needs to be cleaned, but I know that if I don't write now, I won't have the time later, so here I am! :)

Lori, I would have so much fun if DD came to work with me (if I had work). I just love to teach her what I know (no "then it shouldn't take long" jokes! :p) She is so smooshy, and getting so big! I want her to stop it right now! ;(

Susan, you must be working today! ;) I think that the wind that you had yesterday is visiting me today. I had the hardest time driving! It is insane! So, did you rescue your dumpster? :p

I went to Target today and got a lot of stuff for our living room decor. I am so happy that we are finally decorating it! :7 Anyways, I love the painting I got to go over the couch, but I am having a hard time with other stuff and I need your advice... I got a lot of candly type stuff to hang on the wall, one sconce is sorta viney and it has five votive holders in it. One is a square mirror and there is a shelf on the bottom that has 3 holders. And I had 2 sconces already to put next to the painting (for whenever we got a painting). In the dining room, I have 3 tiered taper holders on the wall, and the dining room and the living room connect. My question: is this too many candles on my friggin' walls, or do you think that it will be alright? I also have 2 small black shelves that I was going to tier and put bottles on. So, it would be kinda like this (try to imagine it): the couch wall would have 2 sconces on the left then the big pic in the middle and then behind the recliner (on the right, and there is a standing lamp between the couch and reclin.) would be the mirror/votive, the tv corner would have 2 tiered shelves on the left side and then the viney thing on the right, and the wall facing the couch in the dining room has a bottle painting and 3 tiered taper holders... is that too much? Or did I lose you? If you have any thoughts, please share because I am a lost cause. :p

I am keeping up with my training and I am NOT EATING SUGAR! :) And I haven't, and I don't plan to until April 1. I can do it! :)

See you guys later!
Edited for grammatical errors :p

Charlotte, Chico is a funny name.We wanted to rename him when we got him but we figured why bother? It would have totally confused him:) he is the best dog ever though and I feel bad for bringing the other guy in the house b/c he doesn't leave chico alone.He was cleaning his ears for him yesterday and that didn't go over very well:eek:

Missy, you don't weigh 154 now do you? You certainly don't look it! Thats the same with me though.People can't beleive I am 130 lbs.When I told me co-worker that the other day she said that she would have guessed I was 105 lbs.I don't think I look that small though.I probably look 120 lbs.But my co-worker feels bad about herself and she is around 150 but not in shape.I guess she thinks she is bigger then she is, therefore she probably doesn't think that there is only a 25 lbs weight difference in the two of us.But muscle does make a big difference.
Decorating is so much fun! I love it.I want to get downstaits painted and my room (again) but we will see! Maybe in the spring.

I just finished a flight and I cannot beleive they actually came here.Its awful outside and it was noth'in but a rat race.At the last minute they wanted catering and all that jazz so I was like a chicken with my head cut off for a bit.But now it is 4:30 and I only have 2 hours left to go! Imagine that!

Lori:)
 
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I am so excited!!! I just got off the phone with my old babysitter (for my kids) from seven years ago! I haven't talked to her in three years, and now she is a college student!!!! She went in to see Dan at his work because she didn't know how else to get in touch with me...... I am so happy! I loved this girl so much, she is the sweetest person and the kids just love and adore her, and she called me! (CAN YOU TELL THAT I AM EXCITED???!!!!) I can't believe that we haven't talked since before I got pregnant with Logan. It is so crazy because I sent her an email about three months ago just trying to reconnect, and I got a notice that her email had changed so the email was undeliverable. Wow, is God answering my prayers or what?! I just wanted to share, because I thought it was cool (and I am excited)! :D But, it did make me feel old. The last time I talked to her I was 23. :eek:

so you con't have any advice on my decorating plans, Lori? that is okay because the girl that I just got off the phone with is coming over for lunch tomorrow and she is in school for - you guessed it!- interior design, so I don't need your help anyways! :p God is just everywhere today, isn't he? :D

So, when they asked for the catering, did they look outside and see the snow? }( Did they care?

I am listening to James Blunt. Ever heard of him?

Missy
 
I would imagine that as pilots they were well aware of the weather but they were really young so I think they have less fear:) They were little cuties though.Truth be told they were probably my age but looked younger.

You must have been excited to get that call.Thats great. She will help you decorate! LOL

I don't know what I will do tonight.Do,da,do,da,do...maybe I will run again;) I think I need a power nap.
Lori:)
 
We seem to be getting on at the same times today! :D You must be off of work now. My job is just getting started. :) The kids just got home and not even five minutes being home, they got into a fight and DS started throwing things, so they are both sitting in time out in seperate rooms. I am going to make them sit on the couch and hold hands, I think. Won't that be fun? ;)

I did my 3 miles today and then did a ton of core work and had a nice long stretch! :) I love to stretch. You know, I am really going to have a hard time fitting in strenght training with my running. None of the training manuals have anything about strength training, nor do the magazines. I talked to my mom today and she said that when she is training she just focuses on her running and does strength on the side not to gain muscle so much as to prevent losing tone. I think that is what I am going to have to aim for, too. I have to come up with a new plan... I think that I can do it.

Okay, so DS is now excited that her old babysitter is coming over tomorrow!!! She was THRILLED when I told her! She still remembers her and even still has a picture of the two of them together on her desk. How sweet?

Well, I am off to make dinner: steamed green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls and meatloaf (for the fam, vegan meatballs for me). :9 I am just sure that you are salivitating at the mention of vegan meatballs! LOL!!! They are actually VERY good. For me, at least. ;)

See you laters!

Missy
 
Nope, I am still here! I am suppose to be off but my releif isn't here but I am soon going to leave anyway.I have to pick DD up at my friends house and then go home and come up with something quick for supper.There are some chicken burgers in the freezer, prehaps we will have them.
You can have the vegan meatballs:p Isn't it funny how everyone makes different things for themselves then the family? I have the same meat as everyone else but i don't eat the carbs and cheese veggies.Instead I end up with a sweet potatoe or a nice big salad.

Ok..thats enough I need to go home!!!! Oh,why don't you try doing a full body workout 2 x a week? Is that possibel with your crazy schedule?
Lori:)
 
I actually thought about the total bod 2x, but my legs get so much wear and tear from running. I am thinking of adding a light leg workout on my Thursday runs since Friday will be a rest day, so they will have plenty of time to heal until Sunday's long run. I will do upper on Wed. and Sat., I think. That will work best, but I can't focus on strength, so it will be endurance there, too, like lots of pushups and dips and such - more compound work I should say. I dunno, but we'll work it out. :)

Time to start the meatloaf topping, now! It is funny how we make different things, isn't it? I ate the same as everyone else until I gave up meat and dairy. Now I have Mariah saying "Mommy, I don't like how the animals are treated, either, so don't put any meat on my plate." I am creating a monster! I have thought about if I would ever eat meat again, and the answer is I don't know. When my dad catches a deer, I will eat it: it was raised naturally and free so I know it wasn't abused and it will be better for me. I just don't know about cows, though, they are so cute. I won't drink milk ever again because my allergies have gone away since I gave it up. I will still eat cheese, though. ;) I will never eat another pig because they are sweet and affectionate (I haven't had pork since I was 15, I saw a cute pig that rubbed against my leg, then saw a mommy with her piglets, then walked out of the shelter and straight into a pork stand ;( ). If you could assure me that there was no abuse or unnatural hormones or steroids and it was fed what is natural to it, I probably could eat a chicken because they are so ugly. I mean, they are soooooooooo ugly. Is that wrong of me to say that? Okay, sorry, I am just rambling. Forgive me! :p

Time to check the taters. :)

Missy
 
Hello Little Ladies,

Well, as you can imagine it's been a busy day. I have a million projects all coming due at once. Boo hoo for me. Oh, but yes, I am thankful for my job! :)

Charlotte - the reason you aren't losing weight is because you lift so dang much weight and your muscles are HUGE. They weigh more, remember???

Lori - I didn't laugh when I first read about Chico, but then when I read about Charlotte laughing it started to make me laugh. Then I though you said he smiled at the patio door and that made me laugh more.

Sara - I forgot to mention that I think your house looks gorgeous as well and I was wondering if you would come over and make mine shine like that.

Missy - who is James Blunt? I've never heard of him. And oh please don't make your kids hold hands. When my sister and I would fight we'd always walk in to my mom's room (where she was crying loudly and carrying on about "Where have I gone wrong" and we would feel SOOOOO guilty for fighting - which I think is just normal for kids) with our arms around each other telling her we were friends. Our only goal was to make her not be angry with us anymore. I hate those memories. I love my sister dearly now - she is my closest friend. We're only 10 months apart. But at the time we just needed to fight sometimes without being forced to be "friends". Of course I'm not a parent and maybe making them hold hands on the couch is the way.

Wow - didn't really mean to go there! I know you're such a great mom Missy and you'll do the right thing for your kiddos.

Where's Wendy been? Is she dumping us? I've seen her "around" but not here. :( We miss you Wendy!

Susan

All of you are so funny tonight.

Missy,

You can't weigh much by the looks of your pictures, girl! Now come on, whatcha talking about??? Sounds like you had a nice day talking with your friend.

And yeah, where has Wendy been? She done left us? I am pouting here.

Susan,

You are so kind and I wished! LOL! I ended up doing Super Sets today because I ran out of time with cleaning. I cannot stand working out in a dirty house so it is always a war with cleaning and working out...I want to do both, but sometimes sacrifice one or the other, but since I did SS, I was satisfied to be able to work most of my body parts. I did heavy squats like usual and then went back to plie squats like Cathe with less weight and so on. My lats must be getting bigger cuz when I took my bra off, I got this deep impression from my bra around my chest cuz I know my boobs are done growing so it has got to be the lats! LOL! Anyhoo, DD and her friend got home and since the weather was wickedly sweet today in the low 70's, we went for a 12 mile bike ride into the next town and caught up with her skateboarding friends. Oh, did that feel so good to ride. Must, must do that again.

Lori,

So you gonna watch American Idol tonight? Missed the last hour last night as I was still worn out from the concert and the long drive back home. I heard Chris sang very well. You know, he is my favorite. Well I had a power bar after riding bikes and no other food...I will see what happens when I wake up tomorrow. I might just join the army if I can't get it down!!!!!!! Maybe do BC 3X's. O.k., I am ranting again and I told you I wouldn't. Well have a good night. I will talk to you tomorrow.

Charlotte~~
