Monday's "Melterama"!

Good morning Deb and all to follow.

Kristi, are you home yet? Did you have a wonderful time? It was such a joy to meet you. I'm dying here, not knowing what all went on. PM me with any juicy tidbits - I can keep a secret!

Allie, hey you jumping fiend you! How was your RT? Cathe looked gorgeous in the pictures from Friday night.

Emily, how was your trip home. If you are home yet. I'll ask you for any insiders info too. Gosh, I hate missing out on all the fun and secrets!

Leanne, I tried the whitening strips last night and think I already see an improvement. I'm drinking my morning coffee with a straw and it's not so bad!

Hey to the rest of you. Time for me to get to work. I hope to get back soon. We are going blueberry picking after work. We go to a state game lands about an hour north of us where there are wild highbush blueberries. Much easier to pick than the lowbush species. See you in a bit.
 
Hey Robin and Deb and to everyone else

Just got done doing Lauren's KB DVD. May arms are shaking. Wouza. Hopefully will get to the gym at noon for cardio. We'll see how busy I am.

BBL
 
I'm back...

Hi,

Did an I-Tread this morning and just got back from walking K&K...what an experience! At least it tires him out..he is gonked out on a pillow at my feet.. so cute when he's sleeping! :rolleyes:

I did get a KB at the other Target on Sat night.. a 15 lb one that feels a lot heavier than a 15 pound dumbbell.. it came with a lame DVD.. that shows the moves but the workout is the exact same thing! I am having a hard time with the Turkish Get Up things!

Robin:
It's great that the whitening strips are working so fast! If you think coffee does things to your teeth, watch out for blueberries! Your pre-RT sounds like a good time! Love the pics on the other forum. What did I miss on the "Allie crying" thing? Did you ever figure out how to not have to scroll side to side to read posts? I use the "printable version" of the thread tools, but with that you can;t see smilies, or probably pics either.

Shelly:
The KB at Target ( 15#) was $39.95. They have them at Dick's for less, with but with no DVD. SO has a job again? That movie should not be PG13..

Peggie:
Good for you for having a veggie garden and actually using it! We were posting at the same time..I just ordered that DVD...yikes!

Tneah:
How big is big for the boat? It sounds like the one you have now is pretty big!:eek: If it's humidity you want, come East young lady! We'll give you humidity! I will give you my e-mail address, but I am ok with product right now! You are so generous and have such a wonderful giving heart! ...mmm your lunch sounds yummy..I love bread baskets!

Shannon:
I did something really stupid! Did you by any chance send out e-mails ( to personal e-mail accounts) asking for people to be "friends"? you know how they have this now on this site? Anyway, I got an e-mail from a "Shannon" and thought immediately of you and the new thing here with friends so I said "Yes"...then I thought, oh no! Shannon is computer free most weekends, this is an imposter! What did I just do?? Yikes~

Leanne:
Did you get any cute things at Loft?

BG:
Can we see a pic of you in your apron? with the wig of course!

Hi to Kara, Kristi , Allison and anyone else I missed...

Have a great day!

Deb:D
 
Morning all...

Just a quick post to say good morning and I'll post more when I get to work.

Deb - yes, I think Shannon did send out some Friend requests the other day. She was online this weekend:) Thanks for the info on the KBs. I won't be near a Dick's on Friday but I'll check out Target in NF.

Robin - have fun picking blueberries. I want to know the inside RT scoop too!

Peggie - I want KB DOMS!!! I hope your day today is better than your Friday was.

Okay, off I go.
 
Deb, I love the idea of Keegan asleep on a pillow while you iTread. Yikes, I never thought about blueberries staining my teeth too. No wonder my teeth are so dingy, between coffee, wine and blueberries.

Shelley, hopefully our good friends, Emily, Allie and Kristi will let us know the down and dirty on the RT!

In the excitement of getting ready for Monday morning heading to work, I forgot to mention that my melting is going well and I'm back down to my pre-birthday weight. Of course, that is the same weight that I wanted to melt from when we originally stared this group, but there you go.
 
Morning All!

Deb, your post was entertaining this morning, well, they always are of course, just especially so this morning.:D The friend thing is kinda high school, or more like grade school to me, of course I am friends with all of you, I sent a few out, just to see, you know I had to play around. I also hate that page that allows one to "break" friendships!:eek: Horrid. I love that Keegan is such a mommy's boy, how adorable laying at your feet. Agreed, that KB workout that came with the 15 pounder sucked! The one I do is the Extreme one off the dragondoor workout site, its killer, the dude workouts in the sand with sunglasses on.

Robin, picking blueberries huh? Ugh, think I told you guys I was stuck picking those during the summer in order to earn enough money to buy myself new school clothes. Another ugh. And way to go woman! Good for you and your melty self! Yeah! I thought you looked quite slim and trim in the RT pictures and wondered why in the world you were melting at all, but am happy for you chica!

Shelley, what's up darlin? Glad you like Dark Knight, I personally adore those dark, brooding movies, this one might be even more so considering the circumstances surrounding it...poor Heath, such a sad deal. Oh and I adore Maggie G. she was in a very twisted movie I loved called Secretary? She is a cool chick. Can you get that kettlebell at Target? I think I might have an extra KB workout I could send you...*whistles nonchalantly*

Pegster, whoo-eee! That workout sounds awesome, it isn't cardio at all though? The Extreme sand dude one I have is, it really gets your heartrate up, although it probably not steady state, more anaerobic in nature. Love your pic, you are darling by the way!

Shannon, loving your new avatar!

Leanne, will be checking out the Prius today, I want a white one, DH says cause its such a hot car right now, it might be hard to find the color I want...

Hugs and hellos to Allison, Kara, Lainie, and BG!

To answer your question about the boat, its super big as in 125 feet big. I know, its like a floating house. On one deck I am going to insist on being able to have my step (there is storage) and a tv and dvd player so I can at least do my KB and Cathe cardio workouts. We will, over the course of the next year or so, sell the house in Vegas, most of our cars and live on the new boat full time. It was fun playing around with alot of "stuff" when we first got really successful, but am ready to settle into boat life and be done with the rest of it. We have been really blessed that our products have done as well as they have. Well, that and alot of hard arse work and sacrifice.I am just thrilled for DH, having a boat like this was always his dream, and now he has it.
Anyway! Enough of that...today is a Spinervals workout and then maybe a Cathe weight workout, not sure, but probably B&G...BBL to chat!
 
Tneah, I'm so happy for you and your DH and BIG new boat. It's wonderful to be successful and to have to health and time to enjoy it. Thanks for the compliments, but in all honesty, those black pants are very photogenic. If I had to take nakkid pictures to show a trainer, well, let's just not go there.
 
Good morning, lovely ladies!

I just tried the new oatmeal I bought at Costco on Friday, and, for those of you who like oatmeal, it's really good! The brand is called Coach's Oats, and it's a steel cut mixture that still cooks up in just five minutes. Just had it mixed in with some cinnamon and some Lean Dessert. Yummy! It's more expensive than my supermarket brand oatmeal, but so much better!

Robin -- So what brand of whitening strips did you try? I may need to get some! Blueberry picking sounds like so much fun!! How funny about your teeth b/c I've often said the same thing -- three of my favorite things are strong coffee, blueberries, and red wine. I remember telling that to my dentist once, and he told me to get some new foods to eat! ;) And Tneah is right -- you do not look like you need to melt at all! I'm so jealous, in fact, of those hawt arms of yours!! You are one sexay lady!

Deb -- How was the rest of your weekend? Are Keegan and Kelsey still getting along alright? Hooray for getting a KB! The Turkish Get-Ups are really hard and take some practice; I actually started doing those with just an 8-pound dumbbell to get the move down. Yes, I picked up a T-shirt, a sweater, and a cute little blouse at Loft for the RT. I was going to post photos, but they're sold out of the items on their website since they were all on sale.

Shelley -- Did you get your workout in this morning? How was the rest of your weekend? Sending you more {{{HUGS}}}!

Tneah -- Hey sweetie! How is Vegas? Today I'm meeting your friend the Sand Dude for my workout. Shhh . . . don't tell Mike. ;) Mike's Prius is white, and it's great. He bought it just over two years ago, when gas prices were first starting to go up. It literally pays for itself now with these crazy gas prices. I'm so glad that things are going well with the boat, and that you'll be able to have your beloved workout area on it!! Hooray!

Peggie -- Where are you at this mornin', kitten? Usually you're here early!

Can't wait to hear about Lainie's weekend in the mountains, as well as get the scoop from Allie and Kristi! I'll also BBL to say hi to Kara and Breckie and Shannon. We missed all you our traveling gals this weekend!
 
Tneah - okay, I had to Google a 125 ft boat because I have no idea what that would look like. Wow! That's a big boat! You definitely need a place to do your workouts! I'm sure you could find some space. I like dark, brooding movies too, but this one was quite disturbing.

So, my sister received her pathology results, and unfortunately, the piece of lymph node they tested was positive, so now she has to go through six months of chemotherapy. One more freaking thing. You know in cartoons, where someone hits someone else over the head with a sledgehammer and they slowly sink into the ground? I feel like the guy who's being hit. I'm sure my sister feels worse. And we carry on.
 
Back real quick to say..Cathe darlin' looks smokin' hot in her itsy bitsy white shorts!:eek: You go with your fine arse self Miss Cathe!

All of you guys looked amazing, but I had to comment on a Rt'ers pics, good grief, if I had legs like that you couldn't get me outta those shorts!:D The crew looked amazing too, such a great looking group of gals aren't they? And Brenda just oozes sweetness, she is really something, her legs ain't too shabby either are they?

Oh dear, I am getting all sad cause I will not be at the August RT...loved Cathe's jammies too, I wear those PINK ones from Victoria's Secret, so comfy!
 
Hi, darlings!
I'm back, and I had a fabulous time! It was such a thrill to meet Robin and Allison! Robin, we missed you after you left! I will send you a PM or email with all the scoop.

Allison is even more darling in person -- teeny, tiny ball of energy, looks more like Jennifer Aniston in person -- she's just adorable!

Where are these RT pictures Tneah is talking about???

Shelley -- I am so very sorry to hear Karen's news. It is hard when we feel like we can't stand another thing, and life hands us one more thing. Somehow we do deal with it b/c we are almost always stronger than we think we are or than we want to be. You are in my thoughts and prayers, friend.

I haven't read anything except today's posts, so I'll read and catch up and BBL!
Love and {{{HUGS}}} to you all!
 
Whoo hoo! Kristi made it home! I can't wait to hear how your RT was. I'm also selfishly happy to hear I was missed. Some pictures have been posted under the Road Trip forum.

Tneah, you are so right about Cathe. When I saw her in her cute little workout shorts, I thought her legs and butt were amazing. Then I saw the pictures of her all dolled up on Friday! She is so beautiful!

Shelley, hugs, prayers, more hugs, and whatever support we can give to you and Karen. Sigh, life never does seem to get easier. But that's the nature of life, isn't it? Peaks and troughs, joys and sorrows. I only hope we can share them ALL for a long, long time.
 
Hey ladies!

Oh, Shelley! I am so, so sorry to hear about Karen's results! Sending you and she both great big {{{{HUGS}}}}! Wow. I am just so, so sorry. Did she have to do chemo for the breast cancer? I wish I could steal you away right now for a little vacation escape. So, so sorry, babe!!

Peggie -- I somehow overlooked your post this morning! Sorry! Glad you're still loving that KB workout. I want to order it so badly! Do you know if the price went up? I thought it was $30, but may have been completely wrong.

Tneah -- Yes, Cathe just rocked those shorts!! All of the girls just look fantastic. I wonder where Lorraine was at!

Kristi -- Welcome back!!! I'm so glad to hear that you had a fabulous time! The photos are in the RT section of the forum. I looked at a few this morning, but decided not to look at any more so it would be more of a surprise.
 
Robin - Karen and I spent some time yesterday trying to think of some joys to offset the sorrows. I came up with "well, I'm not pregnant!":p

Leanne - I'd love to be whisked away. I'd just love to forget everything for a couple of days, you know? I think there are drugs I could take for that:eek:
 
Shelley, we must have been posting at the same time...That is so sh*tty, really freakin' sh*tty, and I am pissed off. I hate the "C" word, its not freakin' fair. I am so sorry Shelley, I wish I was there to give you hugs and support. But anytime you wanna vent I am here. ((HUGS)) to you and to Karen. PM me your address again kay?

In fact all of you send me your address's kay? Sorry to be such a pain in everyone's behinds, but I wanna have them so when you run out all you need to do is send me a quick note and I can ship ASAP. ;)

Kristi, welcome back! I was just thinking of you and remembered you were there at the RT! Now I need to go hunt down pictures of your lovely self, so glad you had a great time! I saw a pic of a gal who looked very ill during one of the classes, another RT lady posted some pics, hope she is okay?

OOH, and I know all of us want the "scoop" and gossip too, but understand if you cannot post all the goods on this thread.;)

Leanne, your DH has a white Prius??:eek:Oh I am jealous! I am going to look at the one Shannon has too...I also love the VW bug...I know I am a total hippey wanna-be, I like it because there is that vase inside for a daisy! I would get a yellow VW and put a bright pink Gerber Daisy in my vase. The oats sound sorta good, I still have it out for oatmeal though, just kinda grosses me out. But the Greek yogurt? Now thats kickin' stuff! BTW, how is your yogurt making Miss Heidi? Have fun with Mr. Sand Dunes...I love his legs, they are perfect aren't they?

Robin, thanks for your kind words, they mean alot. And oh please, you look fabulous, black pants or whatever you said about that! You could have worn white spandex and still looked awesome! Well, I take that back, white spandex looks good on no one, not even Cathe, well, maybe Cathe, she looks super human!:eek:I would be jealous if I didn't love her so much!

OK, time to get rollin'....
 
Good morning melties! It is nice to see everyone.

Shelley--I am so sorry about this latest piece of crap. Karen must be an incredibly strong woman to handle all of these struggles. I wish I knew her. She is very fortunate to have you for support. And, hey, NOT being pregnant is definitely worth cheering about. Wahoo! I wish you were going on the RT, so we could help you forget all of these worries for a weekend. I am sending many prayers and positive thoughts north. (((((HUGS))))

Kristi--Welcome back!

I will be back in a bit for more personals, but must tend to a couple of things. I did an iTread this morning and P90X Upper Plus. Gotta love that Tony!
 
Thanks everyone. You guys are the best.

Kristi - I can't wait to hear about your experiences! Did you have any trouble getting home?

Kara - what's this about Colin coaching Emma's soccer team? That sounds like it could be interesting. Do they get along, or typical brother and sister stuff?

Tneah - I love your anger on Karen's behalf! Thank you. I hate the C word too. Actually, I hate most of the C words;)

I just have to make it through 3 1/2 more days! So, Robin and I are meeting up at Niagara Falls in September. Anyone wanna join us?:)
 
Shelley, more {{{HUGS}}} to you and Karen! Gosh, I would love to join you and Robin! That would be so much fun! I wish I really could come whisk you away . . . and there would be margaritas involved for sure! ;) I hate the C word, too. :mad:

Tneah -- Oh, I almost got a Bug instead of my Jetta! They are so dang cute! The problem is that they're really tiny inside, so poor Georgie might not have a lot of room. My yogurt turned out OK last week, but it made only a small amount. I need to pick up some milk powder today at the store so I can make some more. :D Yes, Mr. Sand Dunes has kickin' legs. I'm about to go stare (and curse!) at them!

Kara -- Hooray for your awesome workout this morning! I'll tell Mr. Sand Dunes that you said "hi," too! :p
 
Hello,
I'm back from the RT and so freakin' depressed I can barely breathe. I always get like this. I am so tired that I called out of work today and ended up sleeping until noon. I'm just sitting around feeling sorry for myself that it's all over.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I miss you all and am thinking about you (extra (((((HUGS))))) to Shelley...)

I'll be back some other time.
