Morning Melters:

Deb - sending more {{{hugs}}} your way.

I just finished P90X legs and Leaner Legs abs. Now I can come home tonight and put on my pjs if I want to!

I'll bbl for personals.

Hello, everyone!

I just read through the weekend thread.

Shelley - you exhaust me. ;-) What a weekend!

Deb - I'm so very sorry about your loss. It brought tears to my eyes, just reading it. I was given the Rainbow Bridge story too, when my dog died several years ago. Did it help you any? I hope you're doing okay.

Lanie - way to go on BFL, already!! And you are very wise to include a "rest day" from it every week, too.

Tneah - Sometimes a blue heron will visit our pond. They're so cool, aren't they?

Robin - you did high impact!!! YAY!!!! I'll bet it was sooo fun!

Sorry to be MIA this weekend. It was a beautiful 70 degrees. Saturday was awesome. Sunday it was pretty windy and cloudy, but still warm. I spent most of the time outside, cleaning leaves out of my flower beds. I'm nowhere near done... I have one of those rather large country yards. It sure felt good to be outside.

I'm supposed to weigh and measure this week, but I don't think that would be wise, considering my impending visitor. Sigh. So it'll just have to wait. Eating was so-so this weekend. I've kind of slacked off those vegan meals, and I need to get back into them.

Hi to everyone else... hopefully I'll be back later to see what's new!

Good morning, all!

Are we ready for Monday?! I've got piles of grading to do today, and then I'll try to squeeze in a kickboxing workout before heading to the grocery store. I may do a mish-mosh of CTX KB and 4DS KB just to get an hour of cardio in.

I'm copying a few personals from yesterday afternoon since I didn't get a chance to "see" everyone!


Deb -- Hope you get a chance to check in today! We miss you, and are all sending lots of {{{HUGS}}} your way!

Shelley -- What a great feeling to have your workout done with!

Shannon -- Glad you enjoyed that beautiful weather! It sounds like it was a perfect weekend!

Robin -- Congrats on getting through HIS! That is so fantastic! And is your knee doing alright even though you're back at work? I'll definitely say "hi" to Amy for you!

Tneah -- Your lunch sounds like it was delicious, and I'm so glad that you're getting more comfortable bringing along your own foods. Sounds like that bird escaped from that conservatory! Maybe it's a Jurassic Park hideout! And, yes, you should definitely post some pix of your hot self!

Lainie -- Sounds like you had such a nice free day yesterday. I haven't had a margarita in ages. YUM!!!! That's so exciting that you're so close to Amy! You should definitely try to make it to one of her classes one of these days. And you're not too far away from Cathe either, are you? What a great idea to post recipes. I have some printed up from the forums, but am not sure if it would be OK to send them to you since they're not mine. What do you think?!

Good morning!

I just lost my whole thread into cyberspace. Ugh. That is so annoying isn't it?
x(

Shannon, good to see you this morning. Sounds like you had our same weather...love it! Maybe it was too soon to post the Rainbow Bridge for Deb. I cried too. Its just the hardest thing. Sounds like you had a productive weekend.

Shelley, you are our official "WONDER WOMAN" around here! After I read what you had planned for the weekend I had to go nap. Did you do both leg workouts? Good gosh, I love nighttime when I can slip into my flannels and cozy slippers too. Nothing is better than that.

Robin, how's the knee feeling after your workout?

Leanne, have fun with the kickbox and the paperwork. I did Absolute Kickbox without the combat portion last night.I love Kimberley, but the kickbox really didn't get my heart rate up high enough, but I really like her. Imax 3 went really well, I just modify the moves that hurt and it works out ok. Still get a good workout. I love the outfits in that workout--pink and black are so cute together. Something tells me Cathe will be wearing alot of Nike in the upcoming workouts.

Lainie, whats up? How's the diet going? I attacked a whipped cream bottle yesterday. I inherited my wicked sweet tooth from my father, so its not going anywhere, but despite it all I dropped another 2 pounds. Keep up the good fight!

Today is DH's birthday.He used to be an award winning disco dancer back in the day (NYC in the 70's, laugh if you want its so funny) so I thought I would get him the Elvis bear... http://shop.vermontteddybear.com/elvis-elvis-presley.html

I swear I saw a picture of him wearing the same outfit!
:7 This is a man who hates gifts, so once again, I have to be creative and silly.

Today is legs and of course the cardio thing. Think I'll enlist the help of Grace this AM, she always gets me moving, I like that she gives the numbers for everyone, it keeps you on your toes.

OK, BBL for more...

Hi Everyone,

It makes me feel so good that all of you are posting hugs and well wishes. I , too had seen the Rainbow bridge and know that Clancy is in a better place, free from pain and struggling for every breath. They are here to give us pleasure and only ask that in return we to give them warmth, food, and comfort when sick. We did what we felt we had to do for him. That is all they ask.

I know things will be better each day. It is rough right now, but I will be checking in and hopefully back doing am workouts etc.

Thanks again,

Deb

I'm back!

Shannon - I'm SO jealous of your weather! And that you got to do things in your garden! Mine is still buried under feet of snow. It's gorgeous out today, but it's supposed to get cold tonight and there's snow in the forecast almost every single day this week.

Leanne - are we EVER ready for Monday? Except when it's a vacation Monday... and there are FIVE Mondays in March. Ugh. Happy grading!

Tneah - Wonder Woman? I don't think so I didn't do both leg workouts - just P90X legs and the ab work from Leaner Legs. I'm LMAO over here at the the thought of your DH doing the disco dancer thing! That bear is too cute!

Deb - I'm still sending {{{hugs}}} and thinking about you a lot!

I'm popping in late today. I'm very sleepy today--having trouble functioning.

Today is supposed to be lower body and abs. I had physical therapy this morning and cranked it up to heavier weights on the machines (seated hamstring curls and leg presses). I stayed with 10 lbs on the cable machine where I do abductions and then pull my leg straight back (can't remember what you call that). I also have a few more unweighted exercises I do there. I did abs later after getting home.

I also managed to squeeze in a trip to Target before picking up Ewan. Then I had the speech therapist here to meet with Ewan (he has a little trouble with certain sounds). So I have been productive in spite of mainly wanting to lie down and sleep the day away. No chance to lie down yet.

I want to do some personals but I am pretty out of it. If I get a second wind later I'll come back.
