Good Morning Ladies,

I thought I would type this one quick before I get DD breakfast and get her off to school:) I love mornings. I wish sometimes I could sleep in but the highlight of my day is getting my coffee and chatting to you gals first thing...is that nice of me...or am I just a sad lonely person?:-( :)

Today is going to be steady cardio and either full body or legs.I will also be doing this when my coffee is gone so I can have it over for the day.
I left my hair curly yesterday and I like it. Maybe my curl is tameing downa little.The shorter it got the curly and bigger it got.But it looked like it does when it is long, except it was shorter.I know know if it was the cut she gave me, but I am sure hair changes when you get older, everything else does:eek:
Must go get some breakfast,
Lori :)
 
Good Morning Lori and anyone who follows!:)

It's been my morning ritual forever now to get up and grab coffee and sit down in front of my computer AND tv and watch channel 11 news while I check e-mail, check the forum, etc. It's my quiet alone time and I enjoy it. I too wish I could sleep in but I need this time before the day "officially starts" and if I sleep in, I lose it so I don't choose to sleep in all that often...even when I'm tired. I also enjoy getting up this early because then if I want to get my w/o in before Joey gets up, I will have the time to do that as well.

So yesterday was Cardio Kicks. Today calls for MIS. I will have to skip the lunges and the squats though. My knees have been bothering me on and off but my left knee is *really* been bugging me now so I need to listen and take it easy on it. I am praying that this is an issue that will fix itself with a little rest time!!!

Gotta do laundry today...DH was scrounging for socks this morning! (OOPS!:p)I do laundry constantly it seems but I still always seem to be staring at a full hamper in either our room or Joey's room! WTF!? x( I also tend to let our whites (ESPECIALLY SOCKS!) pile up and do them way last because I HATE washing them the most for some reason. lol

TGIF!
TTFN!
:)
 
Thats funny. Dh was looking for socks the other day to.I am always doing laundry but said I wasn't touching it until today. I was hopig to get some of it out on the clothes line but it is windy and cold, and looks like it couls rain.I did put a few towels out and with the wind it shouldn't take long to dry, unless it rains.
I have problems with my knees off and on to. There are times I wish that I could train for a marathon but I know my knees would never let me get that far:-( But they don't hurt when I am doing aerobics unless I land wrong or something. My knee felt a little funny yesterday to so I am leaning towards doing LM today b/c of the low impact.
I don't listen to the news very much.Its to depressing! Ignorance is bliss!

"I don't listen to the news very much.Its to depressing! Ignorance is bliss!"

***********************

I used to watch the news at night right before I went to bed and then I'd be sick to my stomach trying to sleep because of all of the bad sh*t that goes on so I haven't really watched the news before bed in years! The news certainly can be depressing!!!

I have never had knee issues before...am I getting old or is it related to the fact that I have kicked my work outs up A LOT since Joey was born? Prior to his birth I primarily did the Firm for a couple of years. I discovered Cathe when I was already pregnant and was under the impression I had to cut the impact for the safety of my baby so I kept all of Cathe's work outs low to no impact until after he was born. Once I got back in the groove of working out I quickly kicked it up and started doing the work outs at full impact. I didn't really EASE INTO IT AT ALL. Maybe I shocked the crap outta my body and now it's revolting?? :eek: :-( x(

My mom LOVES to hang clothes out on the line! I don't have a line so I don't do that. I SHOULD make one next spring though...:)
 
Good morning everyone,

Ugh--I'm sooo tired today. I've had 2 nights in a row where I didn't sleep well. I'm not promising to do a w/o today. If I do, it'll be light cardio. I'm too tired for weights.

My knees bother me every once in a while. What really gives me fits is my left hip and right shoulder. I also have arthritis in my hands now. It just creeps up on you slowly. I definitely notice more knee problems if I do step w/o's several days in a row, so I only do those once a week or even less. I wonder if I'm not stepping up onto the step with my whole foot. I need to pay more attention to form, because I think it can cause knee pain if you just put your toes on the step when stepping up.

I like the early morning hours. They're so peaceful and quiet. I like to sip my coffee and watch the sun come up. That's also my favorite time to read.

I have tons of laundry too, and I don't have children. I've decided that there's a cloning party going on in the dirty clothes hamper!x( x(

And the local news?--Forget it! I stopped watching local news a couple of years ago. All it is is murder and mahem. they have nothing else to report, EVER! I get the weather report on the internet or radio and I don't care about the rest of it. I watch Fox News for the national and international news.

Thanks for your kind words on my "shocked" thread. I'm still freaked out by what happened. It really came from out of the blue.

Well, I'm off to find something to eat for breakfast. See you guys later.

Hi gals,

My running partner stopped by so my cleaning and chat time went ca-put!!!x(
Did you read my good vibes thread??? We are getting so close and I am so afraid that someone else may be closer. I should really try keeping the if its meant to be attitude but its so hard to do that:-(
No workout yet. I am going to workout after lunch.Must go finished what I started and I will chat with you gorgeous gals later!!!!:)
Lori:)
 
Hey, girl I am sending good vibes your way!!!

Today is rest day for me. I got nearly two hours of sleep last night. I am exhausted.

Oh, and I added another album to the picture train of Dan and I at Grand Canyon. I LOVE the grand canyon!!!! Those pix do not do it any justice at all!!!

Missy

Charlotte, I miss you!!!
 
Missy,

May I be so bold as to ask--how old are you!? You look all of 17. Please don't tell me I'm old enough to be your mother too;( LOl!

Your pictures are great. I've always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon. Quite frankly, I've seen more of England, Scotland, and Ireland than I have of the good ole USA.

Michele
 
I am actually 25. I have been told that I look 17 since I was 12. Now, if you tell me that when I am 45, you will have the most loyal servant of all time!!! :p

I started out very young, 17 actually. I am very lucky in so many ways. I could not be where I am today if God were not a part of my life!

Missy
 
Yeah, where is miss Charlotte???:eek: :eek: :-(

Im getting read to workout now.I am not sure what I want to do though. I am going to do SS or PP...but I don't know what cardio.Im not in the modd to do any of it and I really need to be.I will figure something out!
Lori:)
 
Hey, babycakes, when is your rest day? I am taking one today, even though a run is on the calendar, because I am feeling tired and burnt out. I need a break especially since I had my nephew for the last two days. And sitting in front of the computer sucks the life out of me.

Missy
 
When you're 45 I'll be 70!!!!!!!!!! I may not be able to SEE you by the time I reach 70. I'll probably be heavily ensconsed in "Old Bittydom" by then, snarling at people and taking whacks at them with my cane.

I became a Christian when I was 28. I had been raised Catholic but I never felt a part of that church. It just seemed like a meaningless ritual to me. Accepting Christ as my savior was the best thing I ever did.

Michele
 
My rest day is tomorrow:) Im really not in the modd to do anything though. I have been sitting here, searching the forums to see when I had a period last;) I always make it well known that TTOM is here, b/c I never write it down:eek: So then I have to spend 10 min searching our Moment of Truth threads to see when I had one last...LOL It would be so much easier of I wrote it down
Lori:)
 
Hi Ladies.

Joey is down for his nap now.

I have 2 full body weight work outs on tap over the next few days...Today is MIS, tmrw is a rest day (I am joining the gals over in the oct rotation thread in a coremax challenge that day though!}( ), and Sunday is Power Hour. Since I have a bum knee right now I think I will try to complete all of the upper body work from both MIS and Power Hour today, do my Coremax challenge tmrw and then hopefully on Sunday my knee will feel better so I can do the lower body work from MIS and Power Hour. Wish me luck that my plan works!:)

I just got a new cell phone/plan. Gotta call to activate the phone today and cancel my current rip off, er-I mean plan. lol :p

It's miserable here today. Is the sun shining for anyone today??
 
Same here, but I was raised Lutheran. When I was 20, I opened the bible for the first time and read it myself and could not believe what it said! People that were hot for God, the wonderful things that God did in the o.t., God's awesome anger and love, the incredible sacrafice of Jesus... amazing. When it all finally clicked for me, I found the nearest pool of water and got baptized!

There have been great weeks, bad months, incredible days, I screw up constantly, but I am so grateful to God and know everything that I have been blessed with are from Him. He is awesome!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7
 
NOPE!!!! Its wet and COLD! I set DD to school with mitts in her hand.I think this is why I don't want to workout...Id rather sleep when its crappy like this
Lori:)
 
No sun here, Wendy. Just rain and gloom. As soon as the rain subsides, I am going to plant some lilies in the back yard. The ground will be perfectly soft!

Missy
 
Oh goodie, I don't feel so alone in this awful weather then! :D You know what they say...MISERY LOVES COMPANY!}( :p
