Hi Kathy.... I almost started a thread but got a call from Larry, so it's all good! 
Starting meso 3? Have fun! I was reading a thread about STS on vf yesterday and it really makes me want to do it again.....
Happy Monday! Sorry I never got back yesterday.... it was a very chopped up day of constant interruptions from the kids. I think they are missing Larry. We had a good day together though I realized this morning I should have gotten much more done around the house!
Did yoga this morning, though it didn't make me feel very stretched!

Hi ladies. Hope you all had a good weekend. I'll have to go and check out the thread to see what I missed!
Beth, did you say you weren't sure if Larry would make it back for T'day? Hopefully he will. I never get done as much I as I think I should/will! I'm hoping/thinking Cathe will come out with a STS weights and shock cardio rotation, maybe in January? I'll probably do that, but I'm thinking I won't do Meso 3. I just didn't enjoy that one too much.
Yesterday Jameson had about seven kids over (I lost count!). They were supposed to be filming a movie for extra credit for a class. Luckily it was just extra credit, cause they never did the movie. It was beautiful out, so they were outside most of the day playing football and acting goofy. They were really a nice bunch of kids, though. It's funny, two of them are going to the same waterpark we are this week. One is leaving Wednesday, so we'll only be there a few hours at the same time, but the other will be there for T'day. So, it'll be nice for Jameson to have a friend there.
Hi Kathy, Chris, Hottie! Good luck with Disc 25, Kathy!
I did a TurboKick Saturday (fun!!) and PS Legs this morning. Not my favorite Cathe leg workout, but it got the job done, I guess!
They found out my dad has gallstones, so he's having procedure to remove them today. We're trying to schedule a meeting with the urologist to ask what the heck is going on and what they plan, on anything, doing. So, I'm off to the hospital in a bit.
Have a good day everyone!

Hey, I'm having a slow start to the day. I got home and ate like a pig last night after 5 hours of tutoring kids. No workout yesterday but I can't really do cardio since I can't wash my hair until Thursday. So, its just walking, pilates, yoga, and weight lifting until then. I should be starting Meso 3 but I'm scared! I could barely do the last workout of Meso 2 because my hand couldn't hold the barbell! It's not a concentration issue ... it's a my fingers are not strong enough issue. But i'll figure it out. I'm trying to take it easier this week. I intend to work through most of Xmas again so this is the closest thing I'll have to a vacation so I'll be taking a bit of a science mental break. I also have jury duty this week (I didn't have to go today) so I'm not really up to doing experiments I'll have to cancel.
Kathy -- let me know how it goes for you today. Is there any way I can use the weighted vest for my deadlifts and barbell rows so i don't have to grip a heavier bar? Maybe the deadlift and not the row...
beth -- that's good that you got to hear from Larry! i hope he gets there in time!
Joanne -- gallstones! Well, that's not supposed to be too bad to dissolve, right? (i think that's right.) I hope it all works out soon for your dad! It's been a tough year for him.
Back to pretending to work...ok, really working but you know what I mean.

First, I forgot to comment on the bb gun in the butt! OMG -- that's so crazy! How is he today and did you decide how to handle it? I don't know what I would do, honestly! When I was a kid there was a boy who punished another boy by putting a firecracker in his back pocket and lighting it! It was so crazy.... but get this, they were brothers. "punishing" -- yeah, right.
Joanne, yes, it's possible Larry won't be here for tgiving, though may arrive home late that evening. We'll see.... today's when he makes the call to drive or fly.... I'm anxiously awaiting the answer.
Hottie, I remember that hand/forearm problem with meso 2, and as I recall, it wasn't nearly an issue for meso 3 -- don't know if it's that my body got used to it or that the breaks in meso 3 really do make that much difference, but jump in.... it may not be as bad as you think!

Hey Girls!
Here's my bitch and moan first:
For the last few weeks, I've been having weird sinus symptoms. Post nasal drip, icky sore throat, ... last week I'd wake up choking in the middle of the night from the drippiness! ... The weekend it's not gotten any better. I'm really annoyed with it all. And mostly because I think it's from the blippin H1N1 Nasal Mist I got 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'm so PO'd at myself because I should have trusted my gut and not gotten the mist. *sigh*
So after a trying weekend at work (confused patients, OMG, so hard to deal with!), I got up today with that burning in my throat too. I'll tell ya, if I wasn't doing STS rotation and it wasn't Thanksgiving week, I probably would have skipped a workout today. But I just feel so compelled to do it! I'm on week #4 of MESO 2!
I went down and did DISC 22, Chest, SHoulders, Triceps. TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH. Up to 80% 1RMs. I really got pooped out doing it! And the exercises moved quite quickly, I had weights all over the place!
Kathy and Hottie: I'm excited for you guys that you're starting #3 today!!!! Hottie, I agree with Beth, I didn't have as many wrist/forearm issues in #3 as I did in #2.
Hottie: OMG, all that tutoring would have sent me into a food eating frenzy too! I love how your hair came out!!! Very cool! And it lasts so long!! Are you still liking it?
Beth: Sometimes Yoga just doesn't do it for me. YOu have to be in the stretchy/yoga mood!.. Hope Larry ends up making it home. Are your boys off from school this week? Mine have school just on MOn and Tues. Yes,, the BB gun thing was wild. If it was the nasty boy across the street from us, I would have called the Police in a second. But it's the boys' best friends. Jake is ok today. Doesn't even feel it. I'm sooooo so glad it wasn't in his face. .... OMG
Joanne: Oh no on your dad! Seems like he just can't get better! Do they think he'll be home for Thanksgiving? ... Alex also had a friend over this weekend to "work on a project". they never did anything but print out 2 bobcat pictures. *sigh*. Boys, huh? I hope to do a TK again tomorrow! I'm using Turbo Jams to rest up my calf. Although I think it's better today, I've been dealing so much with my sinuses, I forgot about it! LOL!.
I better get going... gotta shower and make supper.
Tomorrow I'm DREADING going to my yearly GYN appt after the boys get to school. Besides it screwing up my day for my workouts/shopping/ T-day prepping!!! But it will all be good, hopefully they'll give me free samples of my pills!
