Good Morning Gals:)

I will probably be in bed by the time everyone is on the go.And ya never know, maybe some of you sleep heads are up already?:) :)
I am so hungry right now.I have 1 hour left before I get home and there are oatmeal cookies over there calling my name! I don't mind eating just a piece of one but I am getting pretty hungry.
The girl who relives me just called in sick, so I am not sure what I am suppose to do now.Its the first time this as happened to me.There is only one person I can call and I just did that and the fax machine kicked in.Im not sure why she as a fax machine, but oh well.I may end up going home for a few hours and comming back to cover the afternoon.
It appears to be an o.k day here but it is still dark.We are suppose to get alot of rain over the next few days so I may be keep my workouts inside.
Anyhoo...we just had a plane here...pilots I don't have to deal with and I can smell cigerette smoke.Not really what I want to be smelling, but now I have to go see if they left a mess for me to clean up.
Hope everyone as a good day,
Lori:)
 
Hi Lori and all who follow!

So Lori...what exactly do you do? What is your job description? Sorry if I'm prying. Just tell me to back off if I'm being too nosey! ;) It's just that I haven't a clue what ya do and I'm curious! :) I know you work in a re-feuling station or something like that for an airport but that's about all I know.

Today I have to figure out a dessert to bring to my mom's tmrw for Turkey day and then I have to go to the store and buy when I need and make it. I also need to hit the bank to make a deposit as well as get some $ for Friday.

But for right now I will keep sitting my a$$ right here drinkin' my coffee and typing away!:p
 
Hey wendy and lori


I have off today till monday and very excited! That bad part of these holidays is I'm dreading it because of my diet. which is none! I want to lose 10# right now but I say what the h*ll when thanksgiving and christmas are smacking you in the face. Wendy you know by my post that I am a stress eater and not being able to do cardio makes it worse. I am steadily gaining weight. Yeah, and my foot will do fine a couple fo weeks and then it will be a total butthole the next. It is a major rollercoaster for me. I have went from 140# when foot first was injured to now a 155# and foot still isn't okay.


I'm sorry ladies, I just came on here and spilled my guts! I know there are ladies who have gone through what I am or have, but I feelalone right now. Wendy you know I am a barrel of problems. I know you ladies have your up and downs but I want more ups than downs. I am doing the UBB rotation and I'm praying that I can complete it.



Okay, Okay, I'm really going now but appreciate you listening to my sob story.

Hey Kim.

I can't even imagine how frustrated you must be! I know how hard it can be to eat healthy. It's a battle for me often times and sometimes I lose that battle too! I lost the battle for about 4 days in a row last week and I wasn't exercising either! :eek: It happens....

Can you ride the stationary bike with out causing harm to your foot? If you can, I would do that every day from now on to try and battle the weight gain. Don't even ATTEMPT any other form of cardio that you are not sure about until your foot is at 100%! Better to be safe than sorry, I always say. Plus the more steps back in healing you take, the longer it will be until you can do other cardio!

HTH a bit. :)
 
Hello Lori Kim and Wendy!

IT IS SNOWING HERE!!! It is quite beautiful, though. I wonder how long it will stick?

I am going to try plb today, if my ankle will allow. I will be right back... I have to tend to the boys?

Hey wendy,

The bummer is that about two or three weeks ago they told me that to do the bike or walk on the treadmill. They said not to do anything at home till I can do exercises there without it hurting. So I haven't done any of that! They told me for some reason it is not good to do the bike right now. I can't remember what they said. So I try to do the best in weights that I can, but sometimes I say what's the use and give up. But I have decided to do the UBB and I am determined to finish it!

The confusing thing is last week at PT I can do 10 calve raises really slow without any pain. Mon. I do the same thing and it doesn't hurt while doing them,but when I went to walk off I got a bad burning pain. I was so mad! So they will take two weeks off of that before I can do it again. I will have a million dollar foot before long! This craps expensive!


Okay, I am threw now!

Kim, I am suffering with you right now. I hurt my ankle last Sunday afternoon and haven't been able to do any leg or aerobic exercises. I did Monday and I injured myself even worse. x( It really didn't feel that bad when I started, but after I finished I couldn't take any steps without feeling like something was getting "tugged". I am going to do UBB to sub the rest of my rotation, too! Great minds do think alike, huh?

I was just curious if there is as name for what you have going on with your foot. It seems like you have been in therapy for a very long time. I would think that there should be exercises that you can do at home to help you out. I am so sorry that, I can imagine how frustrated you must be.

Tell my what workout youare doing today and I will do it with you!

Wendy, what are your plans for T-day? Lori, sorry but you got your long weekend last month. American's turn now! :p

Missy
 
Hey Missy.

I have achilles Tendonitis, and my stubbornness of not going to a foot dr. sooner has made it chronic. It has been and will be along time for I can do any of cathes cardios. All I can do is a normal walk. It does good and gives me false hope. Although after being in a bootcast for six weeks there is a improvement. It's just so frustrating because I have always been a energetic and loved to exercise person. My foot has definitely changed the person I used to be. Hopefully I will get that back one day.


Listen to your foot and don't be a nut like I was and ignore it! If it keeps bothering you go to a dr. You will thank yourself in the long run.

Good morning girls!

I haven't had a chance to read all of the posts--I'm kind of in a hurry today--but I wanted to wish you all a great work out and a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm doing Leslie Sansone today and tomorrow--as many miles as I can possibly squeeze in!:7 :7 :7

Missy, so sorry to hear about your ankle. You better take it easy young lady! My butt feels better today:)

It's snowing like crazy!!! I don't think we're supposed to have any real accumulation but man, it's cold outside--only 28 degrees. It makes me nervous because I have a ton of running around to do today and I have a rental car. My car died in the mall parking lot yesterday and had to be towed. Thankfully, I was able to get a rental just in the nick of time, but I don't like to drive them in bad weather.

Ah Man...you guys are getting snow? And we are getting rain!;( You gals will be in such a christmas mood!

Wendy- Go to avitatgander.com check out our website and maybe you will find out more about what I do_Our pics are at the top of the page, guess who the one is with the curly hair????

Kim- So sorry to hear about your foot and weight gain! It must be very fustrating for you.I think sometimes that if I couldn't work out, I wouldn't care about what I ate either.Hopefully you are not as bad as I would be:eek:

Missy- And what did you do? Sound like we have a bunch of injuried girls on the forum.Prehaps I should stay away!

Michele- I can't beleive you are getting all that snow:-( NOw, don't get me wrong, I don't like it that much, its just that this time of year its nice to have it.After christmas, I don't care if I ever see another snow flake...for a year atleast :)

DD is home for lunch and DH is getting me a coffee.Man she is so loud lately, she is driving me bananas! I crawled in bed at 9 and I did'nt move until 12! I woke up in the same spot that I fell asleep.
When I got home I went to put my new sofa table together and it was broke:-( DH as be hooked up with another one that should be here later.
I am not sure what workout I will do today.I should do circuit with a run involved.
Oh...my coffees is here!
Lori:)
 
Lori, I was trailrunning earlier this week and twisted my foot in a root. Instead of taking it easy, I did HSC the next day and all the jumping finished it off. It didn't even hurt until I was done stretching and before I started working out it was only a little uncomfortable. I feel so stupid because I am always preaching "listen to your body" to everyone and their mother, and now look at me! x( I guess my new motto should be do as I say don't do as I do, huh? :p
It must be so hard getting that interupted sleep at work. You must have passed out the moment you hit the sheets!
If I were you, I would do an upper body circuit. You have run 20K just in the past two days, and I think that your legs should gat a little rest! :) They have been working hard for Miss Lori!

I am happy that your bum is getting better Michele. Have you come up with a plan for getting DH back, yet? }( And you are so lucky to have been able to get a car! This weekend is the most highly traveled weekend all year, so everyone is usually booked. I love driving different cars, too. I usually get a camero or something else ridiculously expensive that I could never afford in real life. :p

I think that when I put the boys down to sleep I will do a chest and tri workout since my shoulders are still a little sore from Monday.

Chat with you later!

Missy
 
Hey Missy...DH, myself and Joey are headed to my mom's for T-day. My sister usually hosts it but my mom wanted to do it this year for the first time in many many years. My sister, bil and kids will be coming down as well. DH and I alternate T-days between his family and mine so next year we'll be spending it with those crazy italians! ;) What about you?

Thanks for the website, Lori! :)

I just finished eating lunch-turkey on ww toast with a little l/f mayo and some f/f vanilla soy milk. :9

I did my work out a little while ago...SJP step and U/B only. Pretty short and sweet but that's okay.

Off to the showers!
TTFN!:)
 
My mom and DHs mom live within ten miles of each other, so we are doing both. I have to be honest, I am completely dreading going to MILs. I hate it there. The kids are out of control, her house is a complete mess (she has never thrown anything away and she has over ten cats that pee in the corners and on her books and magazines which, but the way, she refuses to throw out) and all they do is talk about each other as soon as someone leaves the room. Oh, and as soon as they are done eating they write their Christmas lists. The adults do. And every year the limit gets higher and higher for secret santa. I hate going over there, absolutely hate it. You always leave feeling worse than when you go to the dentist and have a drill in your mouth, and noone helps cook or clean up, they all just sit on their butts and let the youngest sister do it all. I help SIL, the one with a mental disorder who cleans up, cook the food and clear the table all while getting barked at by MIL with no "thanks" and no "please" anything. Ugh. x( x( x( I am going to have to pray very hard before I go over there to be patient and to not lash out. Oh, and I will get to be with the BIL that hit on me while I was pregnant with DS 1. It is aweful over there.

Thank you for letting me rant. Sorry for ranting!

And I ended up doing a back and bi workout on my own with some abs thrown in. I want so bad to be a personal trainer!!!

Missy
 
YIKES, Missy! Maybe I shouldn't have asked! :eek: LOL
Feel free to rant any time! That's part of what we are here for, isn't it? :)

Coffee's done...must go grab it before it gets cold!:9
